    Chicken
    Brian L.

    Chicken was fried chicken. Wait was a little tough, but the woman working the counter was really friendly. Really small interior, definitely meant for more as a take out location.

    It's Korean style fried chicken. BB.Q stands for "best" of the "best" "quality", so no actual barbeque for those who are unfamiliar with this chain. When Central gets a new popular chain, it's exciting not having to leave the area if you live near here. I think they have flavors for folks who love fried chicken and just as good if not better than other fried chicken or wing shops. BB.Q is in a lot of kdramas and a great solid options for Korean fried chicken. This location has limited seating so might be better for take out during peak times.

    Honey soy wings
    David C.

    Good wings. Ordered online for pickup. Was a simple process. Pick up service was quick. Quiet inside for week night. Got the 16 PC wings each for soy garlic, honey soy garlic, and cheeslings. We all had different opinions on the best flavor. Mine was between the honey soy and cheeslings. They are all crispy with moist meat. Honey and soy are sauce glazed in the wings. Cheeslings are dry powder coated by some sort of cheese powder mix. It's interesting, not a lot of places have it, and I recommend it. Overall, good wings. I would come for wings again.

    Great fried chicken. I initially thought of giving a 4 star review. I dropped one star for the attending person (older lady, likely a Philippina) who took my order. Even though she knows, she did not care to answer my only question of which flavor of the wings are least sweet. She brushed me off to take the order from the next in line.

    Honey Garlic Wings

    We got takeout and were really impressed by the food! Even after the trip, the chicken was the perfect texture. The batter covered a lot of surface area giving a great texture and crunch while the inside was nice and juicy. Honey garlic was better than the Gangjeong flavor but both were flavorful and delicious. We can't wait to try more flavors!

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.

This place is right in the Kendall Square area, an easy walk from all of the tech companies. 10 piece fried chicken - Chicken was decent sized and definitely not bulk ordered chicken. This was marinated and spiced in-house. It had good strong flavor, with a hint of ginger that stood out. I think it's ginger, at least. Enjoyable, not dry at all. I would get it again. Chicken cheese patties - they were dry and not that cheesy at all. This saddens me as the place prior to them opening served the best chicken cheese patties in the area. Chicharron - Kind of over cooked and dry. The skin is definitely crispy - almost to a fault as most were too hard to enjoyably bite into. The dryness was the worse. Plaintains were okay, tasted more like potatoes but I think thats how they are supposed to taste anyways. Service was good. Checkout was easy with tap-to-pay. The place looks clean and had 2 or 3 small tables inside.

We have been wanting to try this place for a while so we were excited to check it out. The restaurant is nice with plenty of seating for big and small groups. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you at your table. We decided to share 1/2 a chicken with a small side of beans and large side of french fries. If you order a side you get a free side salad so that was a nice surprise. We also wanted to try their chicha morada which is a typical Peruvian style drink. The drink was nice and sugary and tasted like hibiscus ice tea. When the chicken came out it smelled really good! Everything was nice and hot and we couldn't wait to dig in! I am a french frie lover and I think these were the best fries I have ever had in Boston!! They were thick, crispy, and perfectly salted and I couldn't get enough of them! The pinto beans were also very good and tasted authentic! It reminded me of my mom's cooking which is a compliment. The chicken was the star of the show. It was very juicy and tender and very well seasoned. The meat litterly melted off the bone and I was quickly devouring it. I think 1/2 a chicken to share was enough for the both of us since we had a huge pile of french fries to finish. We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back for some good chicken!

It was my…read morefirst time trying the famous Nashville Fried Chicken, and although I'm not usually a big fan of fried chicken, it was truly delicious! Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich: I chose mild spicy, which was just right for me. The chicken was made to order, a size larger than the bun, and very thick; the crust was thin and crispy without being dry or hard, cracking open with a gentle bite, and the chili powder added a kick to remove its greasiness. The chicken itself was surprisingly tender and juicy, retaining its original flavor. It definitely deserved the title of "Best Fried Chicken"! The coleslaw, usually served as a side dish, was simply placed on top of the fried chicken, with classic mayonnaise and vinaigrette dressing--a sweet and sour flavor, more on the sweet side, was both refreshing and delightful. However, it was obvious that assembling such a burger was difficult, resulting in a blissful mess by the end... Old Bay Waffle Fries: My first time trying fried potatoes shaped like waffles. Personally, I thought the middle was okay, but the edges were a bit dry and hard, and it felt greasy without ketchup. There was only one guy in the restaurant, who served as both the chef and the server, and he probably spent most of his time preparing food in the kitchen, so you have to do some self-service.

This popular…read morechain has built a cult following around a very focused menu: perfectly crispy chicken fingers, crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, buttery Texas toast, and their legendary Cane's sauce. The box combos are where the value really shines. You get a great deal on a satisfying meal where everything works together. The chicken is always reliably good, and that signature sauce, a creamy, tangy, slightly peppery blend is what ties it all together. It's delicious for dipping not just the chicken, but also the fries and that excellent, soft Texas toast. The fries themselves hit that sweet spot of being crispy without being greasy. A word to the wise: the lines can get seriously long, as it's a hugely popular spot. The absolute best move is to order ahead through their app to skip the wait, which makes grabbing a quick and easy meal a total breeze. Overall, it's a consistently good, decently-priced meal for when a fried chicken craving strikes. Just a heads-up that all that fried goodness, while tasty, can sometimes feel a bit heavy on the stomach, but for most it's a small price to pay for that specific comfort food fix.
