Reviews
This is the type of establishment that makes neighborhoods great, glad to have them here in Winter Hill.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Now, the food—oh, the food! The fried chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside. The seasoning is spot-on, giving it a rich flavor without being overwhelming. The tenders were equally amazing—soft, flavorful, and cooked just right. Every bite had that natural chicken taste enhanced by the restaurant’s special blend of spices. The dipping sauces provided were also excellent and complemented the meal perfectly.
What really sets this place apart is the management. Marwan, the manager, clearly cares about every detail, from the quality of the food to customer satisfaction. His dedication shows in every aspect of the dining experience, making it feel like a top-notch, personal touch in a casual setting.
Overall, Crispy Chick is a must-visit for anyone who loves fried chicken done right, and the service from people like Sarah and the guidance of Marwan make it unforgettable!
Customer service is top notch Mia and Sara were amazing. They made the whole experience unmatched
Definitely coming back again.
