28 Best Chicken Restaurants near Watertown

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“While visiting MA I Checked out DAVES.. chicken was spicy & good , tried daves special with fries. Medium tasty spice definitely ruled over canes with the spicy breaded chicken. Daves sauce was comparable to canes. Great experience ! If your not into cabbage, just ask to hold the dressing“

“Alright, where do I start. There’s so many Hot Chicken joints popping up in MA recently and you’d just have to do a few trial and error runs to find the perfect joint.

I am so happy that I tried Dave’s because their chicken is juicy and milkshakes are fun (topped with crushed Oreos, m&ms, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch)! I saw a Dave’s Slider Menu Hack and oh my god, it’s good! Add some Mac and cheese or the whole thing, who’s going to judge you, drizzle some honey and Dave’s sauce on it. You will not be able to have another Hot Chicken sandwich the same way, ever, again.

Thanks, Dave’s, you’ve ruined me!“

“We have never been and it was one of the best meals we have had! The chicken was so flavorful and wasn’t dry at all. The sandwiches were delicious and portion sizes are not for the faint of heart. We had leftovers for 2 meals! The staff was kind and patient with us as we had a few extra questions since we had never been before. There were lots of people enjoying their meals and it was very clear that this was a local favorite. We will definitely be back!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken is a fantastic spot for juicy, flavorful chicken. The ability to customize the heat level is a great touch. Their Dave's Sauce is a perfect complement, especially when dipped with fries or chicken. The Boston-inspired graffiti decor adds a cool, unique vibe to the restaurant. While the food is delicious, it's on the pricier side.“

“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

“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!“

“The establishment is exceptionally clean, the staff is remarkably friendly, and the cuisine is quite delicious. Furthermore, Dave's Chicken is conveniently situated in a plaza, providing an excellent opportunity to enjoy a leisurely stroll and browse the shops.“

“Love the food it so good !“

“Really good Dominican food! No frills, uncomplicated yet heartwarming meals and a certain local local favorite

It’s a small shop with no dine in seating, but the portions were extremely generous and the Chicharrones were both tender and crispy. You can get a plate with different sides, or a sandwich(“chimi”)“

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

“Had a great experience NOT while I had great food and loved the atmosphere customer service was lackluster. My meal was sitting on the counter and they skipped my number by at least 20. I asked for help and the waiter ignored me and helped the next person in line instead. Totally unprofessional will think twice before coming again“

“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!“

“Crowded moved fast, easier to go inside then using the drive through? For some reason they have 3 guys outside working and they were just playing games , kid stunk of weed today? Whatever there doing screwed entire line up! Food was fresh ,average price,as always very good! It was Sat afternoon so very busy!

Parking: Easy as long as you stay to righ if bldg if pulling off road , otherwise ur stuck in other store lot and u must turn around, stinks u can’t park on either side but it works!“

“I love this place. Great food served with love and care no matter how tired and busy you will always get friendliness and kindness ???❤️ definitely delicious chicken and fair portions for the money. We love you New York Chicken ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is hit or miss with the fried chicken depending on who’s frying it that day unfortunately. It’s either under seasoned or super seasoned and flavorful. But on the days it is seasoned by the right person… OMG this TASTE IS AMAZING! Great prices as well“

“Delish food, parking a little difficult“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken – Boston Visit (May 2025)

I recently had the pleasure of trying Dave’s Hot Chicken in Boston, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations!

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special mention to the lady who took our order, an absolute gem of a person, who set the perfect tone for what turned out to be a fantastic meal.

The chicken? Absolutely awesome. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. We sampled the full spice range—extra hot, hot, medium, and mild, and each one delivered. The extra hot was just right for me, with a bold kick that didn’t overwhelm. The spice blend was spot-on, adding a delicious complexity to every bite.

I had tried Dave’s once before in Dubai and wasn’t particularly impressed. But this Boston experience? A complete game-changer—and totally worth the extra heat.“

“Always consistent with their food. The entier family enjoys their chicken sandwiches. I love that they are closed on Sunday. As a person who has worked 22 years in retail, I have missed many birthday partys, christenings and weddings. I love that Chick Fil A gives their employees a day off every week. Keep up the good work Chick Fil A, we will see you soon.“

“From the moment you enter this place the personel give you a pleasant feeling. Very congenial hosts, it is a nice place to enjoy with friends and colleagues or with your date. heavenly meals, experienced chef de cuisine, modest price and attentive service. Warmly recommended.“

“Mini shrimp w/ fish and fries. The fries are really good and someone in another review mentioned how they’re appreciative of the food not tasting highly processed and fresh. I second that statement in regard to the fish and shrimp. Also receive great service.Unfortunately I can’t try their chicken yet but I’ll be happy to update the review once I do.Reason for the 3 star is because of how cold it was in there.“

“Crazy good chicken, crazy popular, awesome service - the owner is alright.“

“The food is always amazing, delicious, and fresh. Definitely my number 1 choice when eating out. Don't even get me started on the service, I have no complaints. Overall this is one of the best pollo campero I've been to everything is always great, you can tell they're very attentive and keep the restaurant very clean.“

“Lo que más destaco es la atención y no de todo el personal. Hay una chica en especial que es muy amable ya sea hables por teléfono o comas en el restaurante, ella es Evelyn siempre amable, atenta y sobre todo muy educada al atender y tomar pedido muy diferente a la de un joven q es muy grosero al atenderlo a uno y por teléfono. La comida es buena a mis amigos y ami nos gusta yo de hecho voy dos veces por semana . Lo que si recomiendo al manager o dueños es que revisen las sillas unas están en muy mal estado ya una amiga estuvo a punto de caer y esa silla sigue ahí es mejor prevenir accidentes q pueden pasar por ese descuido . En general la comida es buena el lugar está limpio y la atención excelente recomiendo Pollo Royal . Nota : Olvidé las pupusas si necesitan mejorar los ingredientes sean de queso o chicharrón. 😁👌“

“Great place to eat. The staff are great. The prices are better. The food is clean and hot. Their condiments are great. Only problem is the hygiene of the tables. They can clean those a bit faster. Save the tables, this place is really good.“

“(Translated by Google) It's a cheap place they serve you with a lot of courtesy they are very clean and they have a good menu for both lunch and meals(Original)Es un lugar económico te atienden con mucha cortesía son muy limpios y tienen un buen menú tanto para almuerzo y comidas“

“Tuesday 1/24/23 on my lunch break at work in beacon hill, ordering here for the first time . I went with the 5pc mix chicken with a honey biscuit, also ordered 3 honey biscuits side order. I got 2 thighs, 1breast, 1wing, 1drumstick. The chicken had a well balance seasoning, very crispy not covered in heavy batter, chicken was cooked fully and moist inside very tasty was very happy with the quality and tasty of chicken! The honey biscuits where delicious it was sweet with a glazed over the top they had blueberry’s inside and like a cake not dry and very good! If you haven’t tried this spot it’s a must TRY! I was very satisfied with my lunch and ready to get back to work from my half hour break. Check out my pictures below!“

“I do not drink soda so I love that they offer Brisk Iced tea instead of the standard Hi-C orange or lemonaid offers. The people there are pretty cool and quick to get the order ready. The food is tasty though can get a bit on the greasy side (expected with fried chicken so that is easily overlooked) and my son who is picky about eating really enjoyed their food. Definitely a win.

Wheelchair accessibility: While it is easy for a wheelchair to get to the doors, they are the typical 2-door system that might make it a bit difficult for a wheel chair to get inside. Fortunately, they do have drive up windows unless the person wanted to eat in.“
