"Milk Drunk on Beacon Hill deserves to be here for their chocolate soft serve alone. It’s a little malty, not too sweet, and pairs really well with an order of mozzarella sticks dipped in herby green aioli. In addition to vanilla and malted chocolate, this fried chicken sandwich shop serves two rotating vegan flavors (some examples are coconut fig and rainier cherry), and they’re so good that we sometimes crave those over the dairy options." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Those who’ve sampled Homer’s popular soft-serve walk-up window should be familiar with the inventive flavors at its sibling spot just a few blocks away. The vegan strawberry is a sleeper hit, transcending its dairy-free origins into creamy greatness, and the hardshells are perfect glossy specimens." - Sophie Grossman
"The team behind Homer opened a casual counter spot that exclusively sells fried chicken and soft serve alongside odds and ends like curly fries and thick mozzarella sticks), and it’s a combination that works. The greatest thing about Milk Drunk’s double-fried chicken is the coating, complete with the kind of thunderous crunch that fills your ears with noise when you take a bite. And unlike many fried chicken spots in town, there’s a kick of curry flavor in the slightly puffy breading, which tastes like a beautiful cross between a beer-battered fish fry and a pakora. Order strips of it, which you can dunk in herb-flecked green aioli, or on a sandwich. " - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"If you’re dropping off your ballot at the Beacon Hill Library, a fried chicken sandwich and some malted chocolate soft serve is close by. Stop into Milk Drunk for some tasty chicken, ice cream, and housemade mozzarella sticks dunked into herby green aioli." - aimee rizzo
"Beacon Hill’s bright fried chicken emporium changes its slushie options often, but the cucumber mojito usually stays put in the summer—for good reason. It’s smooth, green, and packs a surprising kick, kind of like when Kermit the Frog would hop onto a bike and show off those toned legs. Grab one to sip on Milk Drunk’s sidewalk patio with an order of crunchy tenders and you won’t regret the decision." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
