Huge portions! We got the pulled pork sandwich which came with a ton of fries. All super crispy, hot, and fresh. Also ordered the shrimp and grits, very warm and comforting and VERY well seasoned. Everything was delicious. There was only one worker when we went, but he was so nice! Food came out fast and you can tell it was all made with love. A fast casual place where you order at the counter and pick out a table, so I'd imagine it would be crowded when it gets busy. In the heart of Teele Square and a quick walk from Davis Square. If you go right when they open it might not look open since no one is standing out at the counter. It seems they're a bit understaffed so make sure to be kind to the few people working there - they're very nice people who love to chat with diners! I'll have to come back to try the rest of their menu. read more

I gave it a second chance to try their different dishes out as I did not like their pulled pork sandwich. Unfortunately, again I was not impressed with their dishes. Fries and grits were okay, but when it comes to sandwiches- nah, i'd never get them. I tried both the pulled pork and hot chicken sandwiches; I didn't care for either of them. Pulled pork was over-seasoned with strong cajun and pepper taste, and hot chicken sandwich didn't have crispy chicken like I expected - kinda soggy chicken with hot-spicy blended in. Grits were nothing special. They were salty, oily and cheesy with few shrimps. At $14, it's not a cheap dish. I will not come back. read more

Solid southern comfort food and a cool new option for fried chicken in the area! Chicken and Waffles - large waffle with three pieces of fried chicken breast on top. Comes with a container of sauce to drizzle on top or to dip the chicken, as well as syrup for the waffle. The waffle was soft and fairly average. The chicken was cooked well. Hot Chicken Sandwich - big piece of fried chicken breast inside a sandwich with slaw. Wish the chicken had a little bit more flavor and spice. Was also a little bit on the dry side. The fries that came with the dish were a little bit soft/soggy. The restaurant is quite chill and unassuming, very casual. There was a table near the front that had some boxes and random stuff on it, so we weren't immediately sure if the place was open. Of course it's crave worthy food just as it's fried chicken, but a few things could be improved - e.g. spice on the hot chicken sandwich, chicken could be a little juicier, the fries texture was not super crispy, and the clutter on the table was something that could be improved for the next time. Price is fair/high for the value. read more

It's about time this area got some soul food! I've been waiting for this day. Two of my favorite foods are fried chicken and Mac n cheese, so this is a dangerous place to have so close by. I ordered the spicy chicken and waffles. My husband got a spicy chicken sandwich, which came with an order of fries. The portions were HUGE, and the meal was tasty. We even got an order of grits, compliments of the chef. Those were also delicious. We tried to finish our food but we had to admit defeat and take some home with us... but it's actually better that way, because I get to eat some of this again tomorrow. The interior decor is sparse but clean and menu is straightforward. We were happy that we dined in, because we got to try the grits! This is a place I'll be visiting again soon. I highly recommend that you try it! read more

The garlic Parmesan wings were really delicious. I tasted more lemon than Parmesan but anyway they were finger lickin' good. I was also pinching off the fried minced garlic from the foil, they were so addicting. I'm not going to ding too much for this because it was free with check-in, but the chicken taco was lacking. There was a very generous amount of chicken but I had to add more cheese, more salsa, taco seasoning and lime at home to make it enjoyable. Service was a bit slow but it was just 1 woman doing everything so I'll extend some grace. Also I really want to go back and try the plantain balls and other items on the menu. read more

While traveling we tried 10+ restaurants in the Boston area, and we were surprised to find the food at FoodDy's outshined them all... Really, really good food here. And this is compared to other highly rated & far more expensive restaurants. We had 4 items including a jerked chicken sandwich, soft tacos with jerked shrimp, shrimp and grits, and a taste of their hennessy bbq & hot wings. All the dishes were spot-on, and all 3 of us couldn't believe how good it was. If we lived here, we would be back every week. The service was attentive and personal. I only wish they were in California... read more

I asked a question on the business page to see if any others experienced this, but that's apparently the wrong way to use the questions. We ordered 5 things: - jerk chicken sandwich combo - jerk chicken dip - Hennessy wings - rub wings - hot wings I would call the wings quite salty, but within reason. The spiced fries were really salty, like a bit unpleasant to eat. The jerk chicken dip was pretty salty but a good texture for a dip. The jerk chicken sandwich used the same highly shredded meat from the dip, not chunks of chicken as we'd expected. And it was crazily salty. It seems wild to me that anyone tasted that and decided it was ok. I feel it was more than accidentally adding salt twice. Maybe the only way that happens is if you don't taste the did after preparing it? Unfortunately, my wife couldn't do more than a couple bites. She said it was the same as the dip, but it was way worse. If you have a pretty heavy palate for salt, the wings will probably be fine. A little on the small side. The dip is a good value, but borderline even for salt lovers. The jerk chicken sandwich was incredibly salty. read more

Potatoes were perfectly seasoned & still crispy even after walking them home. Everything was made fresh, but it only took about 10 minutes. The person managing the register even brought my food outside to me because I'd stepped out to tend to my dog who was waiting for me. Looking forward to trying more of their menu! read more

Ordered a spicy hot chicken ($12.50) that came with fries. The amount of fries I got was massive. I probably would have been satisfied with 1/3 of the serving. They were kinda thick fries, so very tender inside with a nice thin crisp. The chicken sandwich was great. I was expecting breast, but it was 3 tenders instead. Not a big fan of tenders, but these were large, tender, and juicy so I didn't mind. The sauce is not the typical hot chicken sauce, but has more of a jerk chicken spice with added heat from peppers. I could very clearly taste habaneros that I love. Service was very friendly. Value for your dollar here is crazy. I imagine their prices will eventually go up or their portion sizes will come down. read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is some of the tastiest food in the Davis area. The staff was beyond kind, welcoming, and great to chat with. Ordered the shrimp and grits, fried okra, and a jerk chicken taco. So much flavor in every bite! The food was so fresh and the seasoning was on point. Fried okra had a light and flavorful batter with a slightly spicy sauce to go with it, grits were savory with fresh giant shrimps that weren't messing around, and the jerk chicken taco was delightfully spicy with perfect toppings to complimented the seasoning. Portions were HUGE! Restaurant was very clean and service was quick for pickup. I can't wait to go back and try the entire menu! read more

I got the mixed chicken plate with Mac n cheese and candied yams. The chicken was very good--fried very well with great seasoning, a crispy exterior, and juicy interior. The Mac was very gooey and cheesy. And the yams were excellent as well. I thought the texture of the yams was near perfect--not too hard but not too soft and mushy either. Also not overly sweet. I also felt like the price was very fair. A lot of times, similar entrees can cost near $30, but this was just over $20 which was super reasonable especially for the quality. The staff was very kind and friendly as well. Keep in mind that the interior is quite small, so plan ahead on whether you're going to eat inside or take it to go. But overall I'd recommend this to anyone in the area, and I'd love to go back!

Let's start with the "Jamaican" patties. These were not patties. They were empanada-style, lacking the flaky crust, seasoning, and depth you expect from a true Jamaican beef or chicken patty. At $5 each, that's not just disappointing--it feels misleading. Then the soul food. This is where it really fell apart. The chicken was dry, under-seasoned, and surprisingly small--more like an afterthought than a centerpiece. Soul food should be rich, flavorful, and comforting. This wasn't! The greens were another miss. No depth, no richness, and completely lacking the traditional pot liquor that gives them their signature flavor. It felt like a stripped-down version of what should be a staple dish.The only bright spot was the candied yams--they actually had flavor and were enjoyable. What's frustrating is the gap between reputation and experience. When a place has awards and hype, you expect authenticity, quality, and consistency. This didn't deliver on any of that. Overall, I wouldn't return. There are too many places doing this food the right way to spend money here again.

But if you're someone like me, (6'2 280lbs) it could be a little tight. At the bar, Dillon and Ricardo were amazing! They were very attentive as soon as I sat down. I was handed the menu with a glass of water. After looking over the menu they took my order. I ordered the New Orleans coffee. Good drink. A little on the sweet side but had a lot of alcohol! To start I had the tater tots. Pretty basic but it had a good seasoning to you! Not just salt and pepper! For the main dishes we had the Southern fried chicken sliders. It was a nice sweet and spicy blend. Not too spicy, just the right amount of kick to you! Also we got the chicken and waffles. As soon as we gave the menu back to them, not even 10 minutes later the food was at our spots. Piping hot and fresh. Mind you, the place was packed! So I'm not mad at that! The chicken thighs were seasoned well and juicy! The only thing I didn't like, was the waffle was kind of soggy and thin. Not like a Belgium waffle that is thick and crispy. But still, not bad. I would recommend trying them out but make reservations for a table.

Not sure the of the part of the city it's in maybe Beacon Hill as I'm a New Yorker ! The restaurant was cozy in a lower space of a brownstone building . We ordered tapas and had everything (almost !) on the Tapas menu . They did have full entrees but we were full off the Tapas . There were 4 of us and there was plenty of food . The Louisiana Crawfish Arancini , cast iron baked Brie with homemade potato chips , broccoli , Cajun catfish bites ( which has the most amazing sauce !!), Tuna Tartare and the steak tips were amazing!! The table next to us had the Buttermilk fried chicken which I wanted but after all the tapas we were done ! Dessert was the Beignets that were delish !! I honestly don't remember what we drank because the food was so good ! I'd go back if I'm in Boston . Pack your patience looking for a park because it's like Brooklyn trying to find spots . You can use an app to find the nearest lot to pay and walk . Reservations preferred . I used Open Table .

The other side of the restaurant. Our reservation was late and we literally were the last to leave .

Hands down, the Best BBQ in Greater Boston. Best of all, it's cheaper than a flight to Texas…read more Place is a garage in Union Square with no seating - it's takeout only. The guy that runs the spot is super passionate about the craft and was kind enough to chat and explain the process. Only caveat is that the brisket sells out fairly early. The sides are very good, don't sleep on them. Between this place, BT's in Sturbridge and Rusty Can in Byfield - the New England *good* Q scene is slowly improving.

They serve up a variety of smoked BBQ meats, including brisket, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, sausage, pulled pork, pork belly burnt ends, chicken, turkey, and portabella "pulled pork" a vegetarian option. They offer BBQ plates, sandwiches, wraps, chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried foods (fries, okra, pickles), and sides (mac n cheese, candied yams, garlic mashed potatoes, rice, collard greens, BBQ pit beans, potato salad, grilled vegetables, & potato salad). The pricing is moderate. I ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16.99 plus hospitality fee and tax) served with choice of side and pickles. Since I parked very close to the food stall, I sat in my vehicle (with flashers) for 5 minutes and quickly retrieved my order. The pulled pork sandwich was a good size with cole slaw, tender sweet BBQ pulled pork on a thick soft egg bun. The pulled pork was mostly lean meat, a bit dry, but it tasted just fine. The potato salad was pretty good, which had firm gold potatoes, chopped red onions, celery, egg, mustard, mayo, and seasonings and dill pickle chips on the side. I enjoyed my food in the vehicle before heading back home. I will have to try some of their other meats and sides on the next visit to Wade BBQ.

During a recent trip to Beantown, a coworker took me here for an evening out on the town. Slade's was very chill and you could tell was full of usuals who frequent the spot. The menu has plenty of options, service was great especially being a first timer I didn't feel out of place. Known for their chicken wings and other items, the menu has variety and almost feels more soul foodish. Music wise, the jazz band who played that night kept the spot going. Also offering impromptu musicians to join. A great night out in Boston, Slade's is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Don't let anyone tell you different.

I understood that delivery food may need reheating and was fully prepared to air fry the wings and fries. That was not the issue. The problem was the quality and accuracy of the sides and entrées. The collard greens were so salty they were inedible and honestly concerning from a health standpoint. One plate that was supposed to include chicken, mac and cheese, and yams arrived with double yams and no mac and cheese at all. The other plate with catfish, potato salad, and collards was also disappointing. The catfish was overcooked, the potato salad was watery, and again, the collards could not be eaten. Additionally, the yams were gummy and seemed undercooked, as if they needed more time in the oven. Aside from the wings and fries, the rest of the order was a complete letdown. I have no issue paying for food I enjoy and love, but unfortunately this order was neither enjoyable nor acceptable based on the quality I usually expect from Slade's.
