The delivery took an hour and a half, which may or may not be the fault of the restaurant. But what is the restaurant's fault is the price. $12 for five tenders, three of which were the size of chicken nuggets. And $7 for the coleslaw pictured below. Even if the chicken was the best I've ever eaten, and it wasn't, I couldn't give it more than a star. Oh, and they upcharge for lettuce and tomato. Do better, folks. read more

Side Chick - Coleslaw - Chicken Wings Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Update new review Nov 3, 2925 12pm Ok I'm back for round 2 to try other items from the menu. Trying the Dot crispy chicken sandwich, Bacon Bits and Scallions Waffle and Drizzled with Maple Syrup. First thing the waffle wasn't barely toasted! The chicken was crispy moist inside the bacon was cooked perfectly but the menu says bacon bits but I got full bacon was this a mistake or they didn't have time to break it up? Sandwich fell apart right away! It should have been toasted golden brown. See pictures unfortunately somebody dropped the ball on my sandwich. Wifey found out, Spiciest Crispy Chick, Lettuce, Pickled Onion, Pickles and added bacon, I got it with out spicy sauce and Hottest Spicy Diablo Sauce. This one was OUTSTANDING bun was fresh and chicken cooked delicious crispy moist inside lettuce was fresh. Picked onions fresh. Also I got 6 Disco Wings tossed Lemon Pepper wings! So so good crispy cooked thoroughly great lemon pepper seasons. 2 out of 3 is not bad maybe. Still very happy with the service and quality of food on the other items I got. read more

Quite disappointed as everything gets soggy so quickly. Ordered hell-a-hot, cheesy chick, wifey found out, and an order of poppin' side chick. Hell-a-hot was just drenched in buffalo hot sauce and that was all I could taste. Cheesy chick just didn't work with American cheese and mozz. The Mac n cheese was just plain noodles, literally. Wifey just plain, I'd rather get something from Dave's. The loaded fries were ok, the crispy chicken was super crispy but all it was under was government cheese basically. I'm really disappointed read more

it's not every day i crave fried chicken but this place hit the spot. i grabbed takeout so can't say for seating but it was a smaller joint. the hot cheeto sandwich was SO yum, the fried pickles were great, the chicken fingers were delish. service was great and fast. only tweak is i would get bigger sauce containers - small amount is in the current containers. will be back! read more

The sandwich was soooo good and everything was so fresh. I was skeptical of the white sauce because I'm not a huge fan of mayo, but mixed with garlic, it was the perfect topper for the chicken. The shoestring fries were crispy, just like I like them. read more

I did not have high expectations of this restaurant as it appears to be another pop-up chicken spot. I've only visited this restaurant a handful of times but the quality has been consistent each visit. I placed my orders late in the evening and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken tasted fresh in the sense that it was cooked in clean oil. I'm not sure if they're changing the oil throughout the day or if I'm just getting lucky. There's another well known chicken restaurant across the street but I'll always bypass it to visit Side Chick. I definitely recommend if you're in the area. read more

The service is good the food is great but the price is not but you need to try the daddy Mac that's the best in there

Best chicken sammich in town, highly recommend! Fresh, crunchy and tasty, what more could you want!

Really enjoyed the chicken. It was hot, crispy, and had a nice flavor. Some parts were a bit bland, but still good. The combo meal was worth the price. Fries were okay. Would recommend. read more

The place looks like a dive, no question. But I took a chance and it was hands down the BEST chicken sandwich I've had in my life! I had the Queen C, with two pieces of chicken, tomato, lettuce and their trademark "pink sauce". It was ridiculous! Hot, fresh, delicious - I will be back! read more

First time trying "Side Chick", I wasn't expecting much.... But it was Delicious. 8 out of 10!! And few reason why it is "8" . 1- the fry oil, you can smell.. that they haven't change it In a few days,( I used to, work in the kitchen)... 2- spicy fries, are not spicy... 3-no side sauce...( $0.75 ea) I will come back! read more

Side Chick - The Queen c, spicy fries & wife found out! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Not a bad choice for quick takeout or delivery. Decent spicy chicken sandwich that reminds me of an upgraded version of what you'd find at Wendy's (which is a good thing). Has a nice bite to it and goes well with a toasted by. Chicken tenders were very crispy and pair well with the buffalo blue cheese sauce. I would skip the tots though. You only get a handful for $5 and they are just your basic tots. Parking is tricky because it's street parking and there aren't many spots. You can hop out in front of the store with your hazards on if you are just picking up. read more

I've been wanting to try this place out after it opened and it wasn't bad. It was affordable and has a ton of chicken options. It's your typical chicken spot in the neighborhood. I ordered the wifey found out sandwich and the 4pcs chicken wing dinner with fries. On the menu it said the sandwich had the "hottest spicy Diablo sauce" but it wasn't spicy at all which was kind of disappointing. The wing dinner and the fries were alright. The other items on the menu had interesting sauces so I'd probably try those next. They're open until 11pm which is super convenient! It's on Columbia rd near Mass Ave so parking is scarce. You're better off walking if you live near by, getting delivery or parking down the street. read more

Food was good and delivery time amazing. For under $10 not bad! Very crispy and tasty. Adequate seasoning. Now the man sub is more a woman size although also delicious with the creamy mayo sauce, onion and peppers. Subs not what they clearly pushing but good attempt. read more

A friend picked up sandwiches from here before we went to the movies to watch Oppenheimer. All the sandwiches were great! Very filling and tasty! The hubs especially loved it and said so - he usually doesn't comment too much about what he eats, so this is high praise! Definitely recommend and would like to check out the restaurant too! read more

Super excited that this place is walking distance for me because you know, gas is crazy right now! All jokes aside, first impression when arriving, clean and bright atmosphere. Two signs outside saying fried chicken and chicken wings. That got my attention immediately. I'm a huge fan of fried chicken so I had to give it a try. I ordered 5 fried chicken wings and two fried chicken (drums and thigh). When I got home, they gave me an additional thigh. Kudos to them! the fried wings were made fresh for me so it was super crispy. The batter was super flavorful . The drums and thighs were good also but I would like to get it fresh next time. The pieces I got was probably out for a couple hours but still good! Will definitely try their chicken sandwich next time and tater tots. They had sauces all out, just ask them which is which. read more

Been wanting to try this place because I love fried chicken and love to support local. This place is directly across the street from KFC and is limited to street parking which is very scarce. I suggest, order ahead and just double park. The person who gave us our food waited for us to pick up our order completing the mixed chicken and fries order so everything would remain nice and crispy which I greatly appreciate! We ordered the 4 piece mixed chicken which was good. The chicken isn't southern fried, just fried with minimal or no breading. It was good but it didn't have any seasoning to make it memorable. The fries were crispy but needed some salt but otherwise no complaints. Got the wifey found out, which was good but disappointed it wasn't spicy and overly vinegary from the pickles and pickled pepper and hot sauce. The chicken was a crispy boneless thigh which is uncommon, but was very well executed. The bun was soft and fresh, I think I'll order their sandwich that had bbq and cheese because that one looks good in pictures. Brother in law got the main chick, which he said was good. Overall the chicken was good and I didn't feel like garbage and full of regrets because of the high salt and msg you find at the main fried chicken chains. To finish the meal off we got the fried dough, hands down the best choice. These guys know how to fry their food! read more

Friendly service and good attitude. Chicken was light, crispy, tasty. I appreciated the varied menu

Good food great chicken sad I won't be going back on account of the price for sauces is crazy 75cents for a super small container up the size on the sauces and the service could use a little pick me up read more

Late flight coming into Boston? Hungry and have to drive down to RI? STOP RIGHT HERE. Unfortunately I didn't get to go inside, but MAN was the food piping hot when it came to me in the car. After a hiatus from chicken over the past few months, boy oh boy, would I do an ALL YOU CAN EAT SIDE CHICK if it were possible. My husband ordered two different types of sandwiches, French fries, a mixed basket of 6 piece chicken, and two sodas. Total? $33 and WORTH EVERY CENT. I wasn't initially so enthusiastic about trying this place, but I was convinced and it was open till 11pm so WHY NOT. Across the street you'll find KFC, but I don't think I'd ever choose that over this. I even campaigned to bring my folks back here before I flew back...they went without me, however. *insert sad face* EXPERT TIP: Eat as much chicken as you can while it's H O T, because it seems to become awfully dry the longer it stays out in the cold....and reheated chicken is no bueno. read more

Run, don't walk to Side Chick! This new place in Columbia Rd is awesome! My friend had the Dot sandwich and I went for Disco Wings with Buffalo sauce. I got 10 of these double breaded fresh wings. Wish I'd gotten 6. They're HUGE! Hot & tasty too. We went for the Parmesan & truffle fries. You crispy wedges. Look forward to trying the cheese fries next tie because we will definitely be back. Owner-founder is a terrific guy and I feel confident Side Chick will soon even all of Boston's devotion. read more

Side Chick - Parmesan truffle fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place is just amazing. On top of being a great location, with amazing food, and amazing options. They have an incredibly friendly and attentive staff. I often find myself nervous trying new places but the man who picked up the phone and served me my food was incredibly patient, kind and helpful. He went over all the sauces with me and offered his recommendations. It's rare to find good service these days let alone at a take away restaurant but Side Chicks got it all! I had the Wifey Doesn't know, Columbia and mozzarella sticks and they were all delicious! Will definitely be back and I hope to see this place thrive! read more

Ordered 2 chicken sandwiches. The main chick and the Dot. Both sandwiches were really good. Huge pieces of crispy chicken. The Dot was really impressive! It's a chicken sandwich with bacon and maple syrup served on waffles for the bread! It's like a portable chicken and waffles dish. The owner mentioned the wrong waffles were sent to them. They were supposed to be scallion waffles but they sent them sweet waffles by mistake. Honestly, the sweet waffles with the salty chicken were a perfect combination! I hope the owner reads this and knows how good those sweet waffles were! The owner was really nice too! I hope they do well. We will definitely be back here. read more

Kudos to a REAL chicken place opening up across from two head KFC. Owner is AMAZING , top notch customer service, super clean inside and knows how to cook! The chicken is marinated for 24 hours and isn't breaded and dropped until you order so it is SUPER FRESH!! Super crispy and flavorful. I LOVED the shrimp with the special sauce!! Parm truffle fries are delicious (first time i had them on thick fries and didn't miss a beat!)!! Mac and cheese is light/creamy on the cheese if that is your preference. I will def be back next time in Boston!! read more

One of the best chicken sandwiches I tried in a long time. Crisp and juicy. I will definitely come back again read more

The staff is extremely nice! The food was equivalent to McDonald's. The breading wouldn't stay on the chicken. I ordered the Main Chick, and it didn't have cheese like it was supposed to. I paired with the fried zucchini, which seemed like they are frozen and then deep fried, not great, not terrible. My fiancé got the Colombian, and it again was like McDonald's. The potato wedges are equivalent to the grocery store. Again not bad but not great. read more

Side Chick was a big let-down. I placed an order on-line so it would be ready when I got there. I received a notice saying it was ready, but I had to stand there as they were inundated with calls - I couldn't even get the food that was READY to eat. The food was somehow both dry and soggy. I was really expecting a spicy delicious flavor bomb, but I was pretty disappointed. read more

Food is great and the wait time is pretty good too. The names on the menu are pretty cool. Definitely my go to when I'm in the area. I'm a regular you can say. read more

chicken was good but the tiny cups for the sauce is a joke the sauces sucked too and to charge $0.75 for those pathetic sauce cups is poor business doing. i also ordered them tossed and they were not tossed honestly good thing bc the sauce is awful read more

We all got the Sweet Love & let me tell you. this sandwich is SO BOMB it made me wanna dance in the restaurant. The flavors work well together, the bun was perfectly toasted & it wasn't overwhelming. even better i didn't even feel gross & weighed down after eating it. honestly one of the best chicken sandwiches i've ever had & the service was super quick & the guy who took our order is really friendly. 10/10 would recommend. read more

SO GOOD! I have been so excited to try this place, because I live right around the corner and it did not disappoint! Five piece chicken tenders was a huge portion and so crispy. So not sleep on this place read more

My husband and I finally tried this place just now. We picked it up seeing as it's a pretty short walk from our apartment. We tried the chicken fingers, an order of mixed fried chicken (the guy who waited on us, owner perhaps? threw in an extra piece...thank you so much for that!) and two sides: potato wedges and fried zucchini. All of it was fantastic! The chicken tasted super fresh and cooked perfectly. We're very excited to have this fabulous place so close to home! The young man and woman at the counter were very kind and accommodating. You could tell that they were getting a lot of orders (as they should) and they were rolling right along with the flow. Long live Side Chick! read more

The place is located on a busy street and very limited spots outside. We got the main chick and the wife chick and both had very different flavors. Their white sauce is really delicious. The wife chick is spicy. At first, it wasn't really spicy but by the end of the sandwich, my mouth was on fire. We also got spicy fries which were just okay. They were the small densely packed fries. There's some seating on the side but most people ordered to go. It's a grab and go type of situation. read more

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had, period. Super crunchy, tender. Will order again soon.

Quick and crispy chicken. Can't complain. Sauce options are great and some drink options. They were missing ginger ale but it's ok.

The Halal food feels safe to eat and is very well prepared. Usually I don't eat chicken because of the controversy but this is one place I will buy it. read more

Food was great. I ordered the hot chick sandwich and it was bomb!!!! Still hot and crispy even when it was delivered so it was probably made to order and the bun wasn't soggy like most places when you get it delivered! read more

I just ordered from this place from Uber Eats. The food is great. I'm so happy it's HALAL and the food does the job when I want a chicken sandwich and fries. I'm definitely going to order from here again. Keep up with the good work. As a muslim, 10/10 would eat again. :3 read more

I don't usually write reviews but I feel compelled to write this one. Never have I experienced such rudeness from a restaurant employee. I've ordered from this place 3 times. First time it was through their ordering website. I ordered at 635 pm and the pick up time was 7 pm. My husband went around 7:15 and the food was still not ready. We ordered the food to break our fast with. Understandably he was frustrated. They eventually got the food ready and he made it home in the nick of time. Second time I ordered through Ubereats. Also ordered around 630 pm hoping the food will be here in time for us to break fast at 730 pm. They were taking so long to get the order ready that the driver ended up canceling the order and leaving. A second driver had to pick up the order. Today I ordered via phone at 630 pm. The guy who took my order said it'll be ready in 15-20 mins and he said he'll fry my fries when I pick up so they'll be crispy like I asked. I called at 715pm to tell him not to wait and make the fries now. I also wanted to ask if my order was ready. He cut me off and said fries will take only a minute and he'll do them when I pick up. I let him know I'll be there in 5 mins. When my husband got there at 730 pm, he didn't even acknowledge him and took customers that came after him. When my husband asked him about our order he told him it's still not ready. My husband told him the order was placed an hour ago and we were told it'll be 15-20 mins. His response was "we're busy." My husband argued with that this is the second time this has happened and it's unacceptable that they can't get an order ready on time. He then told my husband he wasn't going to give him our food. So my husband left without our food. I called them and asked why he refused to give my husband the food and why wasn't it ready after an hour. He replied my husband was rude and then hung up on me. I've worked in customer service and I've encountered "rude" customers regularly. We still treat "rude" customers the same way we would treat any other customer. My husband was frustrated but he wasn't rude and didn't deserve to be treated that way. They should learn how to treat customers and not lie about when orders will be ready. They're blaming the customer for being upset for not having their order an hour later from when the order was placed despite being told it'll be ready in 15-20 minutes. I have receipts for all this. Initially we were excited that a halal spot opened up close to us and we've been telling all our friends about it. That's why we gave them a few chances despite our past disappointments. But we will never step foot in that establishment ever again. read more

Absolutely phenomenal chicken wings! The place was clean, very responsive and nice staff.
