The place was a little stinky, but you can order your chicken through a little open window and there was a picture of different chicken you can pick from. The chicken are all de feathered and gutted. They gave us the chicken heart, liver and kidney too. A decent size chicken was around $18 dollars if I remember correctly anyway, it would be less than $20. This was back in October 2021. Perhaps 2022, the price might have gone up like everything else.

I would say prices are generally $13+ with some variation depending on the size and type you ask for. Location is super convenient as it's smack dab in the center so us city folks can have fresh chicken whenever; what's not to love? (Except if you're vegetarian/vegan of course, you'd hate this place).

Glad I had the opportunity to attend this event via Yelp (also the media sponsor for the event)…read more For one night, under the roof of the Cyclorama - you'll find a majority of the South End restaurant powerhouses showcase their culinary skills to support a worthy cause "Aids Action Committee of MA". To top it off, unlimited wine from different regions to sample. The energy and vibe was awesome. All the volunteers I'd encountered were helpful and friendly. I had so much fun talking to the chefs and learning more about their restaurants. This was definitely a great way to get a sneak preview of the restaurants before booking dinner reservations. The restaurants were so generous with their portions and quantity. One cannot leave hungry and can even go back for seconds. Huge variety of options - fresh shucked oysters (Kitchen), thin crust pizza (Upper Crust), tuna and potatoe au gratin (Petit Robert Bistro), plaintain wrapped crabmeat/scallop (Orinoco), vegetable samosas (Mela), cupcakes (South End Buttery), whoopie pies (Flour Bakery) and chocolate chip cookies (Haley House Bakery). Aside from the food and wine tasting - there were other activities - silent auction, mystery gifts, wine ring toss and cooking demonstration (learned a couple tricks from Gordon Hamersley). Wrapped the night up with a mystery gift (6 bottles of wine from Whole Foods). Definitely looking forward to the next one!

When I originally went to this event through Yelp I didn't see anywhere to review. However, I still…read morewanted to throw my 2 cents into the ring for potential attendees next year. The set up was great, similar to many events at Cyclorama friendly volunteers beckoned you in applying wristbands, taking tickets and coats and eventually giving you a plate. I might also note that the plate had a wineglass holder built in. Genius. I hate awkward events where I need to eat and hold a wineglass. At first I was nervous that as a vegetarian I would have one, maybe two choices out of all the wonderful restaurants. Luckily as we worked our way around the options were plentiful and amazingly delicious. The restaurateurs (is that a real word?) were friendly and their presentation was amazing. The winner in my mind was Picco, which made a fantastic "Adult Ice Cream Float" with a tart cherry lambic and what seemed like the creamiest vanilla ice cream I have had in quite some time. There was a lot of opportunities to continue supporting Aids Action Committee, everything from games like the Wine Ring Toss to a silent auction. They also had chef's do cooking presentations (guess who learned that its not that hard to make mayo, this guy). The only downside of the evening was it seemed like the wine tasting people were giving me dirty looks every time I saddled up for a refill. All in all an amazing event with some amazing food from the South End. Thanks again for hooking it up Damien/Yelp!

This place was highly recommended by friends who live in the area and i can totally understand why!…read moreOne of the best lobster rolls we've have in boston. There is so much lobster meat in the roll that we were struggling to take a bite. The mac and cheese also had a lot of lobster meat! Every bite had more lobster than mac. Both were very delicious! Crab cake was also yummy and a decent size especially given the price. Lobster bisque was okay, the clam chowder was definitely better in our opinion. You can order from both the truck and inside the trailer. If you just want the main items (lobster roll and soups), the truck would probably be a quicker option. If you want the specialty items like the crab cake or mac and cheese, you could only get that inside the trailer. Overall service was super quick, so i would choose based on what you want to order. Also plenty of seating available. Most are outdoor under an umbrella but there are a few enclosed areas next to the truck. Staff is very quick to wipe tables down so the turnover is super fast.

The place isn't really a sit down restaurant -- inside there are some stools around a bar, but they did have a nice outdoor seating area under a tent. I had the lobster bisque and my husband had the clam chowder, which were $10.99 each. The soup was quite filling, but it was only so-so, and I was a little disappointed. I would maybe give the place three stars, but I was not impressed that the washrooms were port-o-potties out in the back. At least they flushed and there were plastic sinks with running water, not just hand sanitizer. But having to use a port-o-potty just before eating... yuck. [Yelp collections: Boston, MA 2025]
