The Chicken & Rice Guys

It's ok. For 14 dollars you are not getting alot. I was very disappointed in the amount of pita that was provided. The rice was very bland but the Gyro lamb and chicken was quite salty. This was the large size. It was just ok. If you want a decent portion/gyro you could go to the Fallafel King about a block away and they give you a free falafel dipped in hummus while you are in line for your order.

Most of the time my meals here are good but today was not so good. The chicken at this location was not great it was dry. (A little surprised being that his chicken thighs are used )and the pita bread's rancidity was great( basically inedible) A little disappointing

A sparse dining room belies the fantastic and simple eats this place offers. The chicken and rice combo with creamy garlic sauce is the perfect cold winter day meal, hearty and with enough garlicky kick to clear the sniffles away.

Got this catered for a school event and have to say that It was pretty good. Price was good and the quantity was great. Perfect to enjoy under sunny weather with good company. Would get even if it wasnt a catered event, although it was a pretty good choice for catering. I would recommend trying it out, as I am a fan of places that do chicken and rice well.

This place is great with fast service and great food. Halal chicken with creamy garlic and bbq sause is great.

Good competition for halal guys , love the pricing and quantity, place to get quick economical food in DT Boston.

Simple but so good. Masallah praise be upon him. Will make sure to visit next time I'm in Boston.

Convenient location for weekday Lunch takeout. No service as it's takeout, expected. Food is great, this is a biased opinion because I do like the taste of CRNGuys. Location is convenient. Place is clean. Value is decent; $12 takeout lunch is very casual around the city.

The Chicken & Rice Guys... I much prefer them over Halal Guys for a couple reasons. For one, their spicy sauce is actually spicy! And, you can have unlimited creamy garlic sauce here, it's so good! Like I personally think that their creamy garlic sauce is the best part haha. What I usually get from here is their chicken & lamb. I like getting both because I honestly get bored eating one singular protein. For the price, it really cannot be beat. Great for a quick lunch or dinner. I end up getting two meals out of it too; if I go for lunch, I'll eat half and save the other half for later in the day.

I have been enjoying Chicken and Rice guys since it was a line of food trucks! Whether you order from the kiosk or the counter the food comes out immediately - they know how to move the lunch crowd along. I always get the chicken on rice. And I usually get the garlic sauce, the barbeque sauce or some mix of the two. It's consistently good, but your other options are tofu or gyro - but I've never had either. They have cans of soda (coke company!) and some house made beverages. Always a delicious meal. This is the only brick and mortar location I've ever been to - and though I liked the Cheeseboy that was here years before, Chicken and Rice guys is a step up. (The cheeseboy lives on in a rectangular garbage slot in the center trashcan console that is the exact shape of the cheeseboy sandwich boxes) My less favorite things. The Kiosk is right in front of the door, so if a customer is slow at the kiosk, folks queue up and block the door. I'm also not a fan of the hard plastic to go containers.

I'm so glad that they're here every Friday at Tufts Medical Center! When I first heard about it, I was like no way. Usually it's a different food truck. They have been here for about 2-3 weeks now. Makes lunch much more enjoyable now! Switch it up a little. I love their creamy garlic sauce. Their hot sauce is much spicier than Halal guys which is better. $11 for a combo (chicken and lamb) is pretty decent. Reason why I choose CNRG over Halal Guys is because... the unlimited sauce LOL Halal Guys charge you so much for extra sauce. CNRG you get to put your own sauce and as much as you want too!

Crave this place constantly after trying it at Boston Calling, I live an hour from boston and have made a trip on the train multiple times for this place specifically lol service is always speedy and it's never overly crowded in the Downtown Boston location the chicken is flavorful the rice is perfect and the sauces and pita are the icing on the cake all the flavors just work so well together

Convenient, quick, and pretty tasty. Rice has a nice flavor. Tofu protein choice is firm and well crisped. Chicken is flavorful. You won't go wrong ordering here.

Overpriced knock off of halal guys. Save your money. Also, halal guys in Boston is an overpriced knockoff of halal guys in NYC but it's better than this place. Basically chicken/lamb over rice in general in Boston is bad. If you're a new yorker and expecting something like halal cart/halal guys food from this place, prepared to be disappointed. I've lived in Boston for 3 years, and I have yet to find a suitable replacement. Also they charged me $2 for onions. What

I love Chicken and Rice Guys so, so much. Their food is always flavorful, delicious, and nicely portioned-- even their mini size is pretty filling! My order usually consists of their rice plate (which comes with lettuce and toasted pita) and baked tofu. Their halal chicken is quite good as well, but the tofu option really takes the cake. I love pairing my meal with their creamy garlic + mint & cilantro sauces (I use their hot sauce sparingly when I'm feeling edgy, though). Their toasted pita slices are well-seasoned and go nicely with the sauces. :- ) I'd highly recommend coming here for a satisfying and filling meal.

A very straight-forward and simple menu to choose from. Perfect for people who can never decide what they want to eat. For this place, I ordered the combo mix rice plate (chicken & gyro). The chicken was a little dry and the gyro tasted fine. There was a large portion of rice under the meat. I did feel the rice to meat ration was a bit uneven (too much rice). Next time, I would opt to try their salad plate. I appreciate that all the sauce options were on the side. The sauce did help with the dry chicken. In particular, the mint sauce tasted the best. It felt refreshing for a hot Boston day. Only complaint for this place was the bathroom. I was told that the bathroom was broken that day. So I guess staff and guests didn't get to use the bathroom that day.

This CnR Guys location is great! Staff is very nice, and the food comes out basically instantly. Really great for people who want quick food before they return to work. It's not a comfy or cozy place to eat, but it does the job for office workers, and the food is delicious. Food quality is very consistent if you're used to other CnR Guys locations, and although price has gone up over the years, it's still reasonable for a quick lunch or dinner.

Simply and to the point like a chipotle style kind of quick service and can get crowded during lunch time on a weekday. Base with choice of various types of chicken which they seasoned and cooked very well for the portion and price balance out one another. For the most part fast service and pleasant.

So I just ordered a regular with lamb gyro, extra meat, for my train ride home for the holidays. Midway through eating I was starting to get little shards of something really hard. Spat a few out. And then I found (see picture) this in my food. I literally paused to check my own teeth cause I thought maybe one of them had fallen out. It's as hard as a pebble, kinda like a raw kernal of corn...or maybe even tooth of the lamb the meat came from?? (Even Googled what lamb teeth look like, kinda similar tbh). Immediately lost my appetite and was confused as to what this was.

I've wanted to try the Chicken and Rice Guys forever and basically stumbled upon this location while very hangry after a bad coffee order so we had to park so I could go in and try them. I was not disappointed! The menu is pretty simple which I loved. The service was great. The woman behind the counter really took her time to hear what I wanted (for a quiet person masks have not helped when it comes to getting orders right) and even gave me some extra sauces as I wasn't sure which one I'd like. Sadly, I wasn't a fan of any of them but it turned out I didn't need any sauce. I got the simple small rice and chicken meal with cucumbers and tomatoes added on. It was delicious. I loved the small triangles of pita bread on top. Very nice spices. Right amount of rice and lettuce and tons of chicken. I wished I had gotten a large (next time)! The price was great for the portion and quality. I recommend finding the truck or stopping here and giving them a try!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Chicken & Rice Guys. Their food is delicious! However, this location is not the best. The workers here are nice and food is just as good as any other location, but this specific location is small with NO seating and NO bathrooms. And the place just didn't look or feel clean. Tables were dirty/oily and both napkin dispensers were empty. I guess because this is located in the middle of a bunch of business offices, they don't put in the effort to make it nice -- people just come in, grab their food, and go back to their offices to eat. If you do want to sit down and eat, they have another Downtown location about 10-15 min walk away .

My friends and I were searching for a quick dinner option before a movie, and this location of Chicken & Rice Guys seemed to fit the bill, being only a 5 minute walk from Boston Common. We're all chicken and rice fans (some of us used to live in New York), so I was looking forward to checking out my first C&RG. I had read on Yelp that this was a smaller location than the Washington Street one, with little seating, but I wasn't quite prepared for how bare bones it was - dimly lit and not super clean (Stephanie N. is on point), with a service counter and condiments/utensils area, with little room to stand inside. I got the combo plate, with both chicken and gyro meat, rice, and shredded lettuce on top. You can sub the lettuce for cucumbers and tomatoes (the basis of their salad plate), but I think that might be extra. I opted just for mint cilantro sauce, while my friends left with handfuls of containers filled with every kind of sauce (creamy garlic white sauce, hot/extra hot, bbq). Overall, the food was fine and tasty enough. The lamb was flavorful, although it was a bit dried out - maybe because we were there at the end of the day? The chicken was a bit juicier, but I would still get both for the combined flavor. Both meats were particularly salty, and there was an unappealing layer of grease at the bottom of my container. (Or maybe it's just been too long since I've eaten this kind of meal.) My friends wished they had gotten more white sauce. One plus of this location: The people working there were courteous and cognizant about food allergies. When they put pita on my plate after I asked them not to, they immediately asked if I had a gluten allergy and offered to remake my meal. I don't have an issue with cross contamination and kept my meal, but I appreciated their ready action. Would I come back? Well... I'd think I'd rather walk a little further to the Washington St. store, or check out Halal Guys on Stuart St. This location might be fine for the 9-5 crowd, but it's not really worth seeking out if you have other options.

Got the small chicken meal. They put a bed of rice in the container and a scoop of salad. After that, it was topped with seasoned chicken. There is a modest selection of sauces. I chose the hot sauce but saw BBQ and a creamy garlic one as well. CONS: They advertise fluffy pita, but it's clearly been sitting around with no heat or steam, making it pretty stale and chewy. I feel like heated pita (a whole one instead of slices) would go a long way here.

I live in NYC and probably get the Halal Guys (on which this is clearly based) at least once week, much to the chagrin of my arteries. So when I had a convention in Boston and needed some fuel for the road, I was excited to try this place clearly based on the same concept. But it misses the mark in several areas. The meat is bland. The hot sauce (a homemade trademark of The Halal Guys) was just Tabasco here. And my plate overall was watery- not sure which component caused that but it shouldn't be like that. It may well hit the spot for you if you aren't expecting what makes the NYC Halal carts/stores great but if you are going in with that expectation, you aren't likely to be wowed.

I ordered half mix combo and food was really good, tasted fresh and yummy. Cream sauce was little mild for me. Baklava was sub par, tasted more liked moist cookie that's 2 days old and probably the worst one I've had.

I go here for lunch at least twice a week. Don't let the line intimidate you, it moves incredibly quickly. The food isn't anything fancy, but that's not their deal - you choose between small and regular, salad and plate (with rice), chicken and gyro and tofu, and you add hummus if you want. That's it! I go regular, salad, chicken, and I add hummus when I'm feeling fancy. Make sure you have them put it in the dish instead of on the side, on the side is a pretty puny amount for the price you pay. With the salad you get some nice warm pita too. I can't complain. I'll echo all the others - the SAUCES! You get your nice tender chicken with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber then add some delicious sauces to the mix. I usually go white and green, but mix it up and try something different. If you want to try 'em all, they have to-go cups. I put mine straight on the salad but to each his own. I'll be back. Probably tomorrow.

Ordering is quick and this meal definitely hit the spot. I'd recommend putting the white and red sauce on the rice plate if you want to add more flavor.

I finally got to try the chicken and rice guys! I am very happy that they opened a storefront! I don't have to chase their food truck down now to be able to order their food. This is why it took me this long to finally check this place out! The restaurant does not have tables or chairs set up. I am not sure if they plan to have a dining area in the future or this location will just be strictly for take out orders. Almost every time when I go to NYC, I stop by the chicken and rice cart on 53rd to fulfill my craving. The chicken and rice guys is almost close to being on par with the one in NYC. The rice here, however, is a little different than the one in NYC. It is missing that consistency that I am looking for. The rice here kind of reminds of Mexican rice instead. Maybe it is the grain they use and the spices they use to flavor the rice. I tried the combo which comes with lamb gyro and chicken. The meats are flavorful and marinated well. They are also pretty generous with the portion. The sauces are really good! It makes up half the flavor of the bowl! The white sauce is always the best. The hot sauce is a little tangy, which I actually prefer over the hot sauce in NYC. They also have the mint sauce, which adds an interesting flavor to the dish. It is almost refreshing. If you miss chicken and rice from NYC, this is definitely a good substitute. But my heart is still loyal to the chicken and rice in NYC!!!

This spot is absolutely a food stand that took over a newsstand and added a dollar to all the prices. That said, the food is still cheap and good. You certainly get a good value here. I came by for a very late lunch, 4pm, on a Friday and had the whole spot to myself. This is not a place to sit. In fact there is exactly one seat in the whole place. I did decide to sit and eat because I had some time to kill. The staff were varying levels of friendly but all were running at 100% efficiency. The place was pretty tidy. But again, think food stand grown into small indoor space. I ordered the chicken over rice. I am used to getting a similar platter in New York from the Halal carts where it cost $5 and the salad includes a few tomato wedges with the lettuce. The salad here was just lettuce and the pita threw me off. The hot sauce as also not quite right for me. However, the chicken was good. The food was tasty. Even at $6.50 it is a worthwhile bite to grab. Seems to be a good spot for a quick, light meal.

Garlic cream tasty , please cook your rice well. It's extremely hard to chew and almost not boiled cooked rice. 2 star for your garlic cream sauce taste , rest is not tasty at all. Specially rice is so hard. Then what rest to eat for review?!!

I know it's surprising, but Chicken and Rice Guys sells... chicken and rice. Once you wrap your mind around that enigma, read on. "Beef and Lamb and Rice Guys" must have failed the marketing tests, but regardless, you can swap out your chicken with a gyro meat mix of beef and lamb. (...or tofu.). Both meat options are yummy, so the best option is to just get both as a combo. The dish is simple: meat, rice, lettuce, and a few pieces of pita. The meat is juicy and seasoned well. The rice manages to be reasonably moist and carries some flavor. The lettuce is there to give some brightness and coolness to an otherwise heavy, savory (greasy) dish. But since the meal is so simple, it's bland by itself. The real stars of the show are the sauces. Be absolutely sure to try one of the sauces. In fact, forgot about the food, just ask for a gallon of sauce. They have several kinds of sauces. The top three, starting with the best, are: 1) Garlic sauce 2) BBQ sauce 3) Mint cilantro sauce One taste of the garlic sauce would be enough to cure a cocaine addiction. Its tangy, creamy, and very garlic-y. The BBQ sauce tastes like a tangy version of a Texas BBQ sauce, as if they mixed sweeter Texas BBQ sauce with tangy-er North Carolina BBQ sauce. The garlic sauce and the BBQ work well together on the same plate. For a regular sized portion, grab two or three of the little sauce cups. For $8, this is a lot of food. To be fair, it's mostly rice, but it tastes great and it's very filling. I often don't finish a regular portion during lunch, lest I overstuff myself. The staff is always upbeat and happy, and the line goes fast. They opened a new location which has alleviated some of the traffic, but you should still try to go before 12. I've been many times, and will say that the quality is sometimes inconsistent. They had a period where I kept getting dry, hard rice, but they must have solved that problem because the past few times I've gone have all been great.

I don't get the hype - I really don't. Having given them more than a handful of chances through offerings at work, I cannot say I will ever be back/patronize their business (even though they are super close to our residence). The chicken does not necessarily seam like it is good (quality declined with each visit) and for what you pay, I would expect slightly better quality given the smaller quantity. Maybe portion sizes are just inconsistent, but it seems like there is little chicken, a lot of rice. The pita often seems stale too. I get it, Boston rents are high, but at the same time, I think it is overpriced for what you get. With plenty of options around, I will not be patronizing this place!

If I'm ever in the city (and I try to avoid going), I always need to grab this before I leave. IT'S SO DELICIOUS. Staff is always upbeat and friendly even when the line is out the door for lunch. I use the garlic, hot, and barbecue sauce together and it's mouthwatering. Maybe I'm just too used to the taste here in Boston, but the Halal Guys in NYC had a strange flavor to it.

Lunch rush is unreal, huge line wrapping around the small location so you know it's good if people are willing to wait. The line does move quickly as they have a quick and efficient assembly line packing the rice bowls. Even better though, I ordered my food with Mealpal so I could just pick up my meal without waiting in line. Basically there's two sizes of plates (small or regular), choose your meat, options for extra, and also water or baklava. From there, you can add sauces to your plate (the white creamy sauce is the original and my personal favorite). The plates come with pieces of pita bread that are superb. Definitely worth the price.

DELICIOUS! GET THE LAMB AND CHICKEN COMBO! ...also proceed to empty half a bottle of their creamy white sauce all over your plate. If you only squirt a few shy lines of sauce, you're a beginner. The regulars all put in a ton of this sauce. It's like an addictive drug. If this place is a 99%, the Halal Guys in NYC is 110%. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite match up to the taste of the original NYC Halal chicken and rice, but it's a great replacement until I get to go to NYC again.

Love the yellow rice and chicken/beef. I always order it there green sauce which is amazing.

This place is amazing!!! It's very small though and they only have 1 table for dining. We went there on a Monday during 11-12pm. There wasn't any lines surprisingly and we were able to take the table that was open. We ordered the Combo (Grilled Chicken & Gyro Lamb). It comes with lettuce and rice as well. They do have multiple sauces on the side that you can put in your meal. I tried all of them and they were all very delicious. The hot sauce was very good and the mint cilantro sauce. The food was cooked perfectly and the portions are a good size. The Combo was only $7!! I would def come back to Boston for the Combo meal again! Great food and awesome people!

Got the chicken combo plate today - yellow rice, lettuce, chicken and pita. I smothered it with the garlic cream sauce and the hot sauce. The hot sauce is much hotter than I expected - especially given that they have another hot sauce that is extra hot. My nose is running thanks to the regular and I can usually tolerate a moderate level of heat! That said, the hot sauce does leave a nice tingle in the mouth but doesn't burn away at your tastebuds. Has heat, but packs flavor. I like it. Total for the plate was $8 and it's truly a filling lunch. I don't know that the line is worth it when there are plenty of other delicious options...however, if you do intend to wait, you will be getting a good and satisfying lunch as a result!

I love this place. When I used to work in the area, I would get this at least once per week. Now that I don't live in Boston anymore, I miss it terribly and I'm trying to make a replicate recipe. Delicious food in the style of Halal Guys in NYC. Yellow rice, chicken, lamb, and a classic iceberg salad. The salad isn't supposed to be anything special, so the reviews here wanting some sort of spinach or mixed greens or something feel misguided. The plain lettuce is a nice palate cleanser from the incredible flavors of the meat, sauce, and the rice. I usually get the lamb+chicken and rice dish, and then cover it with white sauce and hot sauce. If you've never had this before, get one more container of white sauce than you think you'll need. It's incredible, and you'll want more. The service here is usually really good, though there's often a huge line. It's prudent to come right as they open or after the lunch rush (though they might be out of things by then). I've also found that following them on twitter is helpful to find out places they'll be or changes in hours for the food trucks.

Cool spot! Fast and Yummy food..

Pretty happy with the storefront. Trying to track down their food truck can be a headache sometimes so it's nice to know that I have a place I can come to. Food-wise, every thing here is the exact same. They have the usual rice bowls and the same sauces. Prices are the same and as far as I can tell, portions are the same too. The line can seem dauntingly long during the lunch rush, but because they usually have a food truck by south station, it's not usually that bad. The staff really keeps the line moving, so everything is speedy as well. With how busy it gets, the sauce area can get kind of gross, with sauce dripping everywhere and the bottles all messy. In terms of space, this is basically a stationary food truck. There is one table in the back corner that has four stools but only three spots to sit, and it is pretty cramped. I wouldn't really want to actually eat here either because the line is long and crowded and you'll just get squished and claustrophobic if you sit at the table. They're open for dinner now too! Same deal but sooo excited I can clog my arteries with CNR for dinner too :)

I'm a big fan of the straightforward restaurant. Fajita's and 'Ritas. Harry's Cheese and Cold Cuts. Pizza hut. You're going to walk into these places, and you're going to be presented with a selection of exactly what you expect. Stuff like Carrie Nation? No idea. Gene's Flatbread? I'm not even sure they sell flatbread. Chicken and Rice: You're going to get chicken. You're going to get rice. You may also get lamb, but that doesn't fit on the sign. The only thing you won't get is remorse, because everything that they stuff into that little recyclable box will be delicious. The meals are huge and $7, which is nice even for Chinatown. There's a line of sauces towards the end that may or may not be labelled, may or may not be properly refrigerated, but they are so delicious you'll risk the botulism. They have this garlic cream sauce which I could literally just order a cup of and a extra spicy sauce that's not kidding around. Go here. Get some chicken. Get some rice. Put it in your face and get some satisfaction.

Delicious. Hopefully I don't have to tell you much about what to expect from the meal -- it is chicken (or lamb) plus rice and some lettuce, all of it made really well. Here's some tips for you though: - Get some white sauce for sure. Get a lot of it on the side and add as much of it as you want later - The hot sauce is actually hot (from someone who likes hot stuff) so if you get the extra hot one just make sure not to dump it on -- test it first! - I would avoid going at 12pm when the work crowd goes and lines are out the door - Add veggies to your order -- it's like a tomato salsa thing that's great - Get a smaller size unless you're really hungry. The larger one is quite big - If you like both chicken and lamb just get the combo it's great and I think better than each one individually

Fast food at its best. How to describe it? Good cheap food! You go and stand in a long line out the door, don't worry it moves quickly. Sister and I noticed the line was all men, before and after. Big portions!! You go to the counter order the large or small plate (small for me) then the building process begins. You have rice, lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes ($2 extra) with the option of lamb or chicken! The lamb sadly is not gluten free. Broke my heart!! Simple, fast and good. BUT the sauces are what makes the meal. Hot, extra spicy, mint and cilantro or BBQ. Mine choice is the combo of the mint and extra spice sauce. Swore to myself wasn't going to eat it all. That didn't happen!! Simple and easy! Chicken and rice plus the sauces are nice. Go visit. It cheap, good and what more could you want for under $10.00!! Enjoy

White sauce all the way! I just can't get over how shredded the chicken is though compared to places in NYC. Nice yellow rice. Crisp lettuce. Portion size to price is a bit expensive too. $7 for a small. Service is spectacular. Get all the sauces! Solid spot if you want that heavy white sauce goodness.

The price went higher and higher and now the portions are getting smaller. $6.50 for a tiny snack.

Yummm! Nothing fancy about this place, you get your pick of a small or regular plate. I got rice with the chicken, of course I had to go for the classic. My husband got rice with Gyro. We came in around 5:30 PM and it was not full at all so we got our food very quickly. This particular spot is really meant for you to just grab the food and go. There is no place to sit. My husband and I didn't want to carry our food on the way home so we just ended up standing and eating. Which wasn't something that we minded but it can be a bit of an inconvenience. Now, the sauce is what makes it. The garlic cream sauce is just amaaaaazing. I smothered my chicken and rice in it. I also tried out a portion of my plate with some BBQ sauc and then some hot sauce. Both were really good additions but I honestly prefer the dish with just the garlic cream sauce.

Service here at Bedford St is always friendly and quick especially when you're in a hurry for lunch. I usually order the chicken with rice and veggie but sometimes I get a little crazy and get the combo, with a side of hummus, salad. That's right! I went all out! I would work my way to the condiments station and load up on that Good white sauce, hot sauce and that green cilantro! Delish!!! Staff here are great. Always a smile and ready for your order.

Woo! I am a fan. When I first moved to Boston I walked by this place and was deterred by the large line that was waiting outside of it. I can now say I understand why the line was there in the first place. If you're looking to grub on some Mediterranean flavors at lunch time that won't break your wallet, this is the place to go. It's $6-8 per order. The menu is simple -- a choice between a rice plate or a salad plate with your pick of a protein (halal chicken, vegetarian, gyro or combo of chicken + gyro). Don't forget your sauces too! The garlic cream sauce and the BBQ sauce (+hot sauce) is my fav. Staff is super friendly too. It's not a huge factor since this place is more of an 'express' type of place with no seating. Still, the friendly attitude is welcome! Lastly, I love how in-tune this place is with their Yelp community. They recently did an event where they offered free meals to the first 100 customers to check into the Yelp event! On top of that, they gave us each a BOGO voucher for our next visit.

Went to get a salad plate today which was suppose to come with a cucumber and tomato blend but I literally did a plate with a bed of lettuce and chicken. I'm so pissed off that this employee doesn't know how to assemble a salad plate even though the menu contains all the components that goes into it. So yeah make sure to check your plates before leaving!!!! I paid $8 for lettuce and chicken lol

There are a plethora of places to eat in Boston, especially near downtown. However, not many like this. It's a small, grab and go lunch or early dinner spot with plenty of food for under $10. It's also delicious! The staff is super nice and the place has a few things that I feel set it apart. To start, the chicken and rice is cooked well, no mushy rice, no dry chicken, just plain good. They have awesome hot sauce with a nice kick but this is also the only reason I can't give them 5 stars. I eat a good amount of hot sauce and their is a delicate balance of spiciness to flavor and this creeps over the line and settles on the hot side. To the point where you lose the nicely seasoned rice and delicious chicken. My suggestion, add a sauce that you can poor into the rice and chicken, that doesn't drown out the flavor in favor of the heat. Bottom line though, you should come check it out!

I moved to Boston about a year and a half ago. First discovered Chicken & Rice Guys food trucks and fell in love. I began frequenting this location as it was on the way to school for me. I always get the combo with extra pita. Then of course I also always load up on the creamy garlic sauce. I also love spicy foods so I use their extra spicy hot sauce. As far the the food quality and affordability, Chicken & Rice Guys is hard to beat! I recently discovered their Medford store location (which is huge btw) and have been going there now. This location's PROS & CONS: PROS: 1) Staff is friendly and efficient 2) Food quality always great 3) Quick service 4) Everything is always stocked 5) Good location CONS: 1) A year ago, there was "technically" a table to sit at but there isn't anymore since they use the table to store their sauces, plastic bags, etc 2) Space is small

I'm a vegetarian and I come here every couple of weeks for lunch because their tofu is seasoned like no other. Top it off with their amazing hot sauce and garlic aioli and it is just perfection.

All I have to say is WOW!!! So it's $5 for a small and $7 for a regular. Get the regularrrr anyways I was here for work and staying at the Hyatt literally across the street! I didn't come get chicken and rice once I came twice because I didn't want to leave Boston without having it once more! The girl in the front is super nice and super fast!! There is a line for lunch time but it's well worth the wait!! I'm from Jersey So for us we have chicken and rice and that was amazing until now.....the chicken and rice guys in my opinion is much better!!! They have cilantro sauce, hot sauce, garlic white sauce!!! You have to try this if your in the area!!!

So simple You get chicken and rice(lamb is on menu) You get cheap and tasty. And handy location too

I've been in Boston for 3 years now and Chicken and Rice guys is still my favorite take out place. I have been to their location in Downtown, Medford, they were a pop up at my old job, and their food trucks and I'm never disappointed. If you like Chicken and Rice bowls with the best sauces, then this is your place!

Great spot for cheap eats. Food was tasty and perfectly balanced. The pita bread was excellent and the chicken lean and free of skin or gristle. The only reason for less than five stars is that 1)the food was not hot and 2)the bottle of white sauce sat in a pan of water (was probably ice once upon a time) and as a result, when I turned the bottle over to squeeze out the sauce, the water ran down the side of the bottle and onto my food bringing with it whatever was on the fingers of everyone else who had touched the bottle that day. No worries for me as I consider it an urban vaccination. But for some, that might be an issue; especially since the solution (pump bottles) would be so simple. If you are aware of the bottle issue or can look past it, then give the place a try!
