13 Best Chicken Restaurants near Danvers

“Delicious food and very friendly, great service! The food is seasoned so well and the homemade sauces are great - especially the Bayou. This restaurant is so much better than anything from the big chicken restaurant chains! I’ll continue visiting it whenever I’m stopping by Danvers!“

“If you had told me my biggest highlight of flying into town this weekend to shoot exterior scenes for an upcoming horror film wouldn't be the set, but a chicken joint in Saugus, I would’ve called you crazy. But here we are.

I’ve seen the videos online for ages and it always piqued my interest. We might have some hiding down home in South Carolina, but the Saugus crew just made a lifelong fan out of me. Being completely new to the menu, the guy at the counter broke it down for me. Then, my eyes locked onto it: REAPER.

Fun fact about me—pain is the name of my game. I am an absolute sucker for the spiciest things you can possibly throw at me (for context, my current record is the Toe of Satan lollipop at 9 million Scoville units). So naturally, I was ready to dive face-first into the Reaper. But homeboy looked out for me BIG time. He gave me the ultimate insider tip: go with the Extra Hot first for the flavor, then tackle the Reaper.

He was not wrong. This was easily some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I still signed the waivers—one for the store, one for me to keep as a souvenir—and they hooked me up with some Carolina fries to try, which I devoured like candy. For the normal crowd, yeah, it’s got a massive kick. But for me? It was pure perfection.

I don’t think they’ve ever seen someone absolutely champ their way through that without breaking a sweat. I could see the literal shock in their eyes, and honestly, I don't blame them! I’m an outsider just rolling through town, but that large Extra Hot meal was a flawless 10 out of 10. I am so glad I trusted my gut instinct to finally try this place, and even happier that this location was my first introduction to the brand.

Amazing food and an amazing experience, but most importantly, an incredible staff. Huge shoutout to the absolute dream team working the floor: Tico, Olivea, Chad, David, Jessica, Oswaldo, and Betty. You guys made a chaotic travel and film weekend unforgettable. I fly back home tomorrow, but I have more scenes to shoot in the area in a few months. Let's be real: even if I didn't have a movie to film, I’d fly back just to eat here. If you haven't been yet, fix that immediately. Amazing food, stellar service, and top-tier people. 5/5 stars all day!“

“The grilled chicken sandwich is very good,but the gluten free bun is $1.70 extra & falls apart.On line price is $5.55+$1.15 for gluten free bun,which totals $6.70,but my total was $9.24.How about getting a better quality bun to make it worth the price.Thank-you.“

“The food was amazing. I like how the toppings come on the side so it don’t make the sandwich soggy. The Westfield Ma location is nice“

“My husband and I Went in at 7 pm at the Saugus facility to order for a cheerleading squad but was totally ignored and not a word from any employee that we will be with you shortly. They looked at us and kept on working. We waited over 5 minutes and walked out and went to raising canes, I tried to call to complain the next day and they don’t even answer their phone. I’m not sure why the patrons should be ignored, I would never give them my money again !“

“I picked up a lady from Wellesley, I'm a Rideshare driver and we started talking about chicken so I asked what is her go to chicken place and this place came up and she said it's her #1 chicken place, so I'm planning on going here someday I'm looking forward on trying some day 🙂“

“You would never guess that hidden in this corner store would be restaurant quality food. I went in on Saturday for fried chicken, which seemed like their specialty!!! But, they weren't cooking chicken that day. But, instead they had spinach filo pastry, and Mediterranean lamb and potatoes. For like 9 bucks. It was amazing and the portions were large. If I am in Peabody again I will surely check them out.“

“The food is amazing and flavorful every bite seasoned to perfection 😋“
