Crispy Chick

Big juicy hand battered to-order chicken with the perfect crunch ratio and delicious sauces. Sandwiches are well balanced too with fresh accompaniments. I normally post nicer photos but I couldn’t wait to eat first. On top of that, the staff (maybe owner?) are super sweet. This is the type of establishment that makes neighborhoods great, glad to have them here in Winter Hill.

Just tried the crispy chicken at this spot and I'm in love! The tenders were amazing. The place has a great vibe, and the staff are super friendly. Sara was so funny and cool, and Maroune was incredibly kind, offering us some samples since it was my first time there. Seriously, I'm already planning my next visit❤️❤️

My new go-to spot for old school fried chicken. Been ordering from this place at least twice a month whenever I’m craving for fried chicken. Cambridge and Somerville don’t have many great casual fried chicken options, and this is easily the best I’ve found so far, plus the prices are excellent. Like KFC, they use a pressure fryer, which means juicier meat and skin that’s crispy without being overly greasy. The breading has just the right thickness, and their mayo-based sauces are perfect. They season more lightly than KFC (which I prefer), and my go-to pieces are the drumsticks and thighs. The wings and breasts aren’t bad, but they’re not on par with the other cuts. The only thing I didn’t like was the rice bowl with tenders. I ordered it for delivery, so it might not be a fair comparison, but the tenders arrived a bit soggy and the coleslaw was bland. Potato wedges were amazing though. Still, I haven’t seen better chicken meal deals in the area in a long time. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Don’t forget about Crispy Chick!!! We were in search of a good chicken spot… We found a great one. Crispy Chick is an awesome spot for real good fried chicken. It’s painted orange walls have a 70s flair😇 There a several seats around the counter if you wanted to eat there. Walked in and there were several customers waiting for their order. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN THAT THE FOOD IS FRESH!!! placed a variety of items; Owner/ operator came and introduced himself- very friendly. Apologized for the wait- which was not necessary but very kind. The chicken was great: Tenders were juicy- not dry Biscuits- slightly sweet that’s addictive 2 piece chicken dark meat- hit and juicy 6 piece wings- the wings were not skimpy; Came with thick ranch; Bbq sauce was great as well. Whenever I’m in Boston, I’ll be sure to stop by.

Great food and awesome service! Everything was super fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. The place is clean and has such a good vibe. Big thanks to Marawan for being so nice! Definitely worth checking out! 😋😋

The fried chicken was absolutely amazing, and the mac n cheese bowl with crispy tenders on top with sweet and spicy sauce was fantastic. The owner gave us some cole slaw to try, which was the best we’d ever had. The garlic sauce is also to die for. The fries were incredible, perfectly crispy. Everything was so fresh and juicy and just delicious. Timely and the owner was incredibly kind and made sure we had a wonderful first time eating here. 11/10 would recommend and will 100% be back if in the area again.

my new favorite chicken spot!! they just opened up and everything is seasoned to perfection 🤤🤤 sauce is really good too & theyre not stingy with the sauce or the portions which i rly appreciate. don’t hesitate to try this spot 😍

I ordered two rice and chicken bowls. The Mac and cheese was weird, the cheese sauce was grainy like if they had put a couple spoons of their mashed potatoes the cheese sauce. Chicken was super dry and not crispy despite the name- I can ignore the crispy part since it did take some time to get home but it was pretty tough and flavorless, definitely no seasoning. The mashed potato’s gravy just tastes like salt. The bbq sauce tastes just like sweet baby rays. I like jays, just thought I’d mention what it tastes like. The coleslaw is alright, slightly sweet, nice crunch. The pico de gallo is spicy. I did not know that. It tastes like it was made with a salt water brine. It was, in fact, not cool, crunchy, and refreshing. I will say it is tangy though. I’m kinda mixed on this- I’ll just say it’s not bad, just not what the menu says. Overall the food was pretty mediocre, I’ll give the benefit of doubt for the incredible dry sawdust-in-your-mouth chicken and say it’s because it took a while to reach me But everything else was basically frozen tv dinner quality. Except frozen food doesn’t make you wait over an hour.

This is the best fried chicken I have had since I've moved to Boston. I'm a black woman from Detroit, and I know my chicken wings!! These wings are seasoned extremely well, and not greasy. The breading amount is just right, and the meat is fresh. The Mac and cheese reminds me of my own Mac and cheese, baked with real cheddar. Not only would I recommend the food, but the service was phenomenal. The chicken was ready quickly, and the owner was so kind to me. He wanted me to have a good experience since this was my first time in. Please support this small, local business!

Hit or miss, the fried chicken itself is good but for an 8 piece they gave us all thighs, no breast, no drums, no wings for some reason? We also got the tenders which were very plain and ended up soggy and not crispy at all. I think the biggest let down were the sides which tasted like frozen dinners reheated, did not taste fresh and wouldn't doubt that it was pre-made. Even with the letdowns, I would try the chicken again because the seasoning and batter had a homemade taste.

Ordered takeout from here last night and I'm torn. The spicy chicken on the chicken sandwich apparently just means that they cover the chicken in hot sauce. The chicken itself and the rest of the sandwich were good, I think the hot sauce actually kind of hid the quality of the fried chicken cause it was covered in it. The fries were fire. I'm gonna try again and get a different chicken sandwich. I think I'll have a way better experience.

Hello, I ordered a 4-piece dark meat chicken from this location but received white meat instead. I spoke with the manager, Sara, who declined to issue a partial refund despite the error and stated that redelivery was not possible because my location is not located in Somerville or any of the surrounding neighborhoods. Afterward, I received a call from a male manager who indicated that he would process a partial refund. However, when I called back, I was again connected to Sara, who refused to process the refund. This was extremely confusing, as I had just been told moments earlier that the issue would be resolved. I am very disappointed with the customer service I received. Update: After posting this review, I was contacted and pressured to remove it, which further added to the discomfort and confusion surrounding this experience. I ended up passing on the partial refund to put an end to the back and forth with management.

They have their own delivery and it's pretty quick. The food was pretty good, but that's it. The chicken was nice but not great. That's a pretty safe-choice place that will do the job but don't expect anything above average-good.

2 piece was a breast and drumstick, which is a power mix. Side of fries were hot and tasty. Catchup packets and a really nice mustard dipping sauce came with. Only canned sodas. Hit the spot when I had 20 minutes to kill before a holiday dinner of questionable food.

Good price, chicken was crispy, flavorful. It was just sitting around to long. Seems like it wasn't very well run, guy taking my order was taking my change from a $20 out of a plastic bag under the counter & his pocket?

I was really looking forward to try the food from Crispy Chick. Sadly to say that the food was kind of disappointing. The side dishes had no taste whatsoever from the Mashed Potatoes and the coleslaw to the Mac and the cheese. I don't understand why if a restaurant forgot some of the items you order it's up to the customer to deal with it. Sadly to say it's one and done with this restaurant.

The chicken looks exactly like the picture on the menu. My Cousin and I were skeptical when we first ordered from Crispy Chick. They did not disappoint. The fried chicken was delivered hot, fresh and crispy JUST LIKE THE PICTURE ON THE MENU. Prices are great and the chicken is delicious

Nashville chicken sandwich hit the spot! Really liked the sauces on it. I also got their Mac and cheese. It was plain but good.

Great chicken sandwich smothered in sauce at a reasonable price, fries were solid. Will definitely be returning

Tasty and friendly newcomer to the block. I had regular, on the bone fried chicken. To me, what matters is not just texture but flavor, and this chicken and breading tasted good. House special sauce was a tasty aioli (think tartar sauce without pickles), and I also had the buffalo sauce, which was spot on. Cole slaw was excellent and straight up -- no weird variations. The hit for me was the side of pico de gallo. Mild enough to eat as a light and refreshing side dish, like a chunky gazpacho.
