Disappointed honestly. The sandwich, coleslaw, and Mac were all lack luster. Chicken sandwich not very crispy with very minimal flavor, cole slaw and Mac were bland. Honestly Dave's is much better. Boston needs to step up their chicken sando game.

Food was under-seasoned and not that good.

I really wanted this place to be good cuz I live down the street. I don't know how it has a 4.5 because the first and only time I went in there the chicken was like rubber it was disgusting I want to try it again but I'm afraid I'm going to have the same experience.

When I'm having a bad day, I get a glorious fried mushroom sandwich from Hot Chix and it immediately makes me feel better. Lusciously soft bun, perfectly crispy, spicy but not greasy mushroom, fresh cole slaw!! Got to share this place with some of my friends today and we got some delicious, well-seasoned fries waffle fries with the ultimate contrast of crispy exterior and pillowy, hot interior, and some of the best mac n cheese I've had nearby. Alex is such a joyful presence and also gifted us two (gorgeous, flaky, warm, buttery) honey butter biscuits. Grateful to live in a neighborhood with Hot Chix!

This place is awesome. They have fried Oreos and they're perfect. The chicken (I got mild) was perfectly seasoned. The mac and cheese is legit. 10/10.

Amazing fresh fried chicken! Would absolutely come again but next I will remember that they really bring the spice here. Had plain on the tenders and it was just perfect. Mild was a bit to much for me though I really can't do spice... the only criticism I'd have is the price but it is Boston after all. I really liked the sign in the window, but I think some might find it offensive.

Burger was extremely undercooked, I ordered a biscuit and received what appeared to be hard bread. The chicken was cooked and heavily seasoned

I’ve been here before and had great food, unfortunately on Saturday something was off. Got a chicken sandwich. The bun was stale and the chicken was dry and overcooked. The old bay fries were also overcooked. Very disappointing considering they just won an award.

My friends and I picked up an order yesterday and were pretty disappointed in our experience.
One person got the tender plate which was supposed to come with fries, which were forgotten.
We all agreed our chicken was dry and not quite as flavorful as we were expecting for a chicken establishment.
The honey butter biscuits were inedible. Underbaked- literally raw and doughy in the middle, still coated with raw flour on the outside, pale, and cold.

Very spicy…. If you have a high tolerance for spicy their extra hot will definitely challenge you

Very dry chicken. For some reason when I paid 4$ to add Cole slaw on I didn’t get fries that my friends got for free with the sandwich. Cole slaw was also the most bland tasting slaw I’ve ever had

This place hit the spot. We met one of the owners Alex and his presence primed our score. Fries 10/10 mac n cheese: 8/10 sammich: 8.5/10.
Fries were crispy to perfection only con is the ketchup had high fructose corn syrup . Mac n cheese was too gooey for me. Sammich was delicious we had hot spicy level and will be coming back!
