30 Best Chicken Restaurants near West Roxbury

“Stopped by for some chicken with my family and ended up really liking the whole place. The food was great… super juicy, well seasoned, just like Popeyes.

Also, the lobby is actually really nice! I would say it’s the cutest lobby of a Popeyes Restaurant. Clean, looks put together, and just has a good vibe when you walk in.

Nayeli helped me out and she was the best, super chill, friendly, and made everything feel easy. You can tell she cares about what she’s doing!

Definitely coming back. BIG shoutout to Nayeli :)“

“For good chicken and great service, RUN DON'T WALK to Dave's Hot Chicken!
My wife and I came up from the Deep South to vacation in the New England states, and had never heard of Dave's Hot Chicken. We placed an online order and when we went to pick it up, there had been a miscommunication and my order was delayed by several minutes. I waited patiently, and the young lady behind the counter apologized profusely when she discovered the error and offered me a choice of items to make up for the wait. She didn't have to do that, but she was skilled enough in customer service to know how to save goodwill with a customer. (I worked a lot of fast food when I was younger: I know how it can be.)
The restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious! If we had Dave's in Georgia, I'd be as fat as a bear. The Top Loaded Fries were *on point,* and the chocolate shake was awesome.
If we ever make it back to Boston, we'll be eating at Dave's!“

“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“

“Great food and even better service. I wish I could remember the cashier’s name, maybe Earl. He was amazing and had everyone engaged and dialoguing. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it in a fast food environment.“

“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.“

“Customer service chick at the register was super c😎😎l and accommodating. That (ALWAYS) makes the difference. And although my GPS confused me, I was relieved I didn't have to drive all the way to Legacy Place👍“

“Birdies Hot Chicken is a locally owned spot that has quietly built one of the stronger reputations for fried chicken in the Boston area, and the tenders are where that reputation is easiest to understand.

The chicken comes out juicy and well crusted, with a batter that stays crispy without being thick or greasy, and the seasoning underneath does more work than most hot chicken spots bother with. The heat is the headline but the flavor is what keeps you coming back, and the two are balanced well enough that even at higher spice levels the chicken still tastes like something rather than just burning.

The spice levels are worth taking seriously. The extra hot is genuinely challenging and rewarding in equal measure if you have the tolerance for it, but the mid-range levels give you enough of the flavor profile to understand what the kitchen is doing without requiring a recovery period afterward.

The seasoned fries are a natural companion and hold up well alongside the tenders, and the sliders are worth knowing about if you want to build out a larger order across a few different formats.

The restaurant is clean and comfortable with a good energy and staff that moves quickly without making the experience feel transactional. For halal hot chicken in downtown Boston that takes both the heat and the flavor seriously, Birdies is the spot to know about.“

“The front of the house Drew is so cool guy, introduced to me to try the Dave’s Meal, had some questions and he’s helped me solve it and I’m really happy about the experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken, completely five stars. He deserve a race.“

“Great chicken sliders and fries. Gotbthe medium hot and it actually had medium kick to it! Score!
Very nice counter help. Tables and chairs are not bad if you want to eat in... not a date place to hang, but good to chow down and visit a bit.“

“The best chicken..:definitely“

“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

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

“Love the food it so good !“

“I tried Dave’s Hot Chicken sliders which is flavorful and satisfying. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, Dave’s sauce add the perfect tangy balance. Spice levels are legit, so you actually taste both heat and flavor. Portions are big for ‘sliders’ and overall quality feels more premium than typical fast food. worth it if you love good hot chicken.“

“Best chicken in town“

“This place is great! I get the carne Frita with arroz de morro y yuca con cebolla . (Pictured on my review)If you want chicken, the combo Dominicano is also amazing - you get a half roasted chicken with 2 sides - they have cho fan rice which is Chinese rice aswell. The relleno de yuca is so good too must try! There is no seating , you just grab your food to go. They definitely give you a good amount of food,which is why I love it there,they have small medium and large portion sizes .“

“Car broke down in parking lot, almost every employee came to check on us to make sure we were okay. If I could give the store manager 10 stars I would, he was very understanding about the time that the tow would show up. The closing night manager on 8/7/2026 was amazing. Great chick fil a.“

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

“Fast service. Accurate order.“

“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.“

“Delish food, parking a little difficult“

“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.“

““It was my first visit, and I stopped by for lunch. The staff member who assisted me, whose name on the receipt appeared as Breseida, recommended the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, which turned out to be exceptional—rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. The service was impeccable: attentive, courteous, and efficient. They also kindly brought the food to my table, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, a very satisfying visit that I highly recommend.”“

“Staff was extremely nice and helpful and the food was excellent“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Chicken is really really good, way better than KFC, Popeyes, ect. If u never had crown fried chicken I guarantee u will be hooked. For some reason though every location I've been too it does look dirty and run down, but the chicken tastes fresh. U know when chicken is cooked in old oil, this chicken always tastes fresh the Jamaican beef patty is also delicious.“

“You can't go wrong with this location. Absolute worst case scenario, you might have to wait a little while for a fresh batch of chicken (which could also be seen as a best case scenario, if you have time to spare). Staff is nice and works very hard, place is always busy but very clean.

I'm not going into detail about the quality of the food. It's the best. It's resplendence is exceeded only by the quetzal.“

“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!“

“This place has good chicken tenders - I live down the street so I don’t know what the delivery situation is like. Sounds like they use partners like Uber Eats and it hasn’t been working out great for other people based on other reviews.As for this place not being a real restaurant - it is, sort of. These tenders are made in the Rock Bottom kitchen (you can check the Google maps and compare addresses). In fact you can find the same exact tenders at Rock Bottom on their menu. Looks like they just rebranded just the chicken part of their menu to sell.Either way, here’s what to know:- no, there isn’t a separate “Twisted Tenders storefront). But you can eat in if you’d like at Rock Bottom- yes, the chicken does taste good- I’d recommend going to pick it up rather than delivery purely based on experience of others.“
