Chicken Shops near Malden, MA

“Just had the fish sandwich today from Bam Bam Chicken and it was delicious! Tasted really fresh, it was generously sized. I can’t believe how good a fried fish sandwich could be - perfectly crispy, not greasy, not too spicy, and the pickle was the perfect addition! Also tried the cole slaw - I am partial to my mom’s, but this one was up there! I will definitely be back!“

“This location is the best! The staff was polite and knowledgeable they got my order correct the 1st time. The staff works efficiently at the drive through as well as inside. The food was delicious and everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend this location!“

“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!“

“Thank you so much to tylar for the help today what a kind person.. the staff here is so nice and happy. It's so rare to find people who enjoy what there doing!!!! 10 star visit. He recommended the new trio meal and omg it was amazing. I love the cheesey sticks I hope they are here to stay“

“Hands down best hot chicken I have ever had.
Rarely I say any place is worth visiting, but this one is.
Caution: if you have high heat tolerance, only go as high as Hot. 🥵 anything hotter is at your own risk.
Definitely worth any detour to get a piece of Dave’s hot chicken“

“The food was really good. The server Earle was really nice. Helped us with the order by recommending a better deal. Really nice guy. Took no time in getting the order done. Really crazy experience. Great guy great service great food. Really good. Earle my mann.“

“great service and quality of food. the salads mac and cheese,chicken and ice cream are delicious. manager Heather helped me buy a gift card in drive-thru. then when order was delayed she delivered our meal and complimentary ice creams! so wonderful and hospitable. we will be back soon!“

“We had the Chicken & Pig Food Truck for our block party. The food and service were excellent! Already looking forward to having them back next year!“

“Took a few orders to hit its stride but the business requested and followed up on feedback given, so I was willing to give it additional tries, and the latest orders were perfect, so I personally recommend them - as for the price it’s hard to go wrong and the unique sandwiches beat out local alternatives for chicken sandwiches, and have some of the best form of fries you can get. Top tier indulgence.“

“The chicken is always delicious whenever I have a chance to get some. I've probably been visiting this shop occasionally for about 2 years now and the quality has never disappointed. The only issue I've had is that they're maybe too popular so sometimes the wait well past the estimated pickup time. But hey, fresh chicken that's still crispy when I get home.“

“One of the best sub sandwiches you will ever have.
Service is fast. Food is great quality. You get a great value here. The subs are about 50% larger than most other places nearby and it is about a dollar cheaper. There is not much room to eat and the stools are very wobbly. That does not matter much since almost all the customers are grab and go.

I highly recommend this place.“

“Best Nashville hot sandwich along with fantastic southern sides hands down! No other competition out there, it’s just that good!“

“Quality was great at this location and our server Jamie gave us amazing service. The spicy hot chicken was perfectly crispy with a satisfying kick of heat. A nice surprise was the honey garlic chicken that the owner Gift recommended, it had an excellent texture and great flavor. The rice cakes were some of the best we've had, especially with the melted cheese, and the fish cakes were a great addition that completed the dish. We'll definitely be back!“

“Door Dash delivers to the city (hot, cold, or frozen), which is a dangerous thing to have discovered! The pies are packed with big chunks of very good white meat chicken, so they’re more filling than most. They’re also not too salty. The portions are really solid, too. A pie that says it’s 6 servings fed us exactly 6 servings. They were wonderful when I called about a food allergy, too.“

“We had an amazing experience at Chick-fil-A thanks to Nicole! She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly from the moment we walked in. She went above and beyond to help my family and answer all our questions. She is an absolute asset to the team—five stars all the way!“

“Hello everyone I just want to share my amazing experience with this restaurant, Food was Amazing and the Vegetable Soup was Number one and the price was reasonable and affordable if I stop in Boston and need food 10 out of 10 definitely would recommend jerk chicken was very amazing to and I drove from Florida and I am a jamaican so I would know if it was amazing, FYI Chef Mark is very friendly.“

“Wings and fries were superb. They were ‘cooked to order’
Not sitting under a heat lamp.
Of course there was a small wait but it was Hot and Fresh!
I ate inside and the atmosphere was so peaceful.
There weren’t any annoying fry-o-laters beeping with unanswered alarms like other places and no music was playing.

Quiet and nice place and the manager was very nice and cordial.
The dining area was closed for renovations for a long time but now it’s reopened and it’s classy.
5 stars 😉
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food: I thought this location was not as good as the Allston one. The chicken wasn't as crispy and pieces were smaller, not sure why. Went multiple times too.

Service: was fine for a casual place.

Atmosphere: order at the front and find a seat in the restaurant. It's fine/standard.

Overall: was a bit disappointed with this location. Even though (I believe) the Allston one is the flagship location, I thought the food quality would have been closer.“
