I want to support local businesses at this difficult time so since we were watching the NFL draft,…read morewe figured we'd order some football food. Ordered through door dash, food arrived in a timely manner. Let's start with the Caesar salad. $6.99 for a very small salad, 2 croutons in total, wilted lettuce and no dressing #epicfail. Ordered 18 wings, arrived semi lukewarm and were ok, a bit sticky and soggy so my thoughts are that they were frozen and just fried. They also forgot the accompanying blue cheese.Ordered two Mac and cheese sides at $4.98 each. Also very small portion (maybe a cup in total for each) and definitely macaroni with melted velveeta. Disappointing and very expensive. The reason for three stars is I feel bad that their business must be suffering during this quarantine but if Wing Squad wants to be successful, they need to make some changes immediately

Cozy, Flavorful, and Absolutely Worth It!…read more Stopped by The Halfway Café for a quick bite and left completely satisfied! I ordered a cup of chili and the Halfway Reuben.. and let me tell you, both were absolute hits. Mind you, I am from maryland and just visiting boston for the weekend and needed to find a good food spot for a sandwich! The chili was rich, hearty, and had just the right amount of kick. It tasted homemade, like something simmered with care! As for the Halfway Reuben? Easily one of the best I've had. The corned beef was tender and flavorful, the sauerkraut was fresh (not soggy!), and the marble rye was toasted to perfection. The dressing tied it all together in the most delicious way. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. This place gives off strong neighborhood gem vibes. If you're anywhere near Massachusetts and haven't tried The Halfway Café yet, do yourself a favor and go. I'll definitely be back!

Birdies Hot Chicken is a locally owned spot that has quietly built one of the stronger reputations…read morefor fried chicken in the Boston area, and the tenders are where that reputation is easiest to understand. We walked into a clean, comfortable dining room with a good energy and staff that moves quickly without making the experience feel transactional. The chicken comes out juicy and well crusted, with a batter that stays crispy without being thick or greasy. The seasoning underneath does more work than most hot chicken spots bother with. The heat is the headline but the flavor is what keeps you coming back, and the two are balanced well enough that even at higher spice levels the chicken still tastes like something rather than just burning. The spice levels are worth taking seriously. The extra hot is genuinely challenging and rewarding in equal measure if you have the tolerance for it, but the mid range levels give you enough of the flavor profile to understand what the kitchen is doing without requiring a recovery period afterward. The seasoned fries are a natural companion and hold up well alongside the tenders, and the sliders are worth knowing about if you want to build out a larger order across a few different formats. Service is efficient and the staff handles the steady stream of customers without losing the casual, neighborhood feel of the space. For halal hot chicken in downtown Boston that takes both the heat and the flavor seriously, Birdies is the spot to know about.

Every time I've had it, I find the chicken way too greasy and oily, making the whole meal feel incredibly heavy. I do think their sauces are pretty good, but that doesn't make up for how weighed down I feel after eating it. For a quick fast-food option in the area, it'll do the job if you're really craving it. But personally, I wouldn't choose it as my first pick.

We walked into a space with the energy of a longtime local favorite, a lively pub atmosphere with sports on the TVs and a steady stream of regulars who seem to know exactly what they came for. It feels casual, unpretentious, and busy in the best way, making it the kind of place that works equally well for catching a game, meeting friends, or satisfying a serious wing craving. The wings are unquestionably the main attraction here. They come out crispy on the outside while still staying juicy inside, with plenty of sauce options ranging from mild to seriously spicy. The balance between crunch, seasoning, and sauce is what makes them stand out. The onion rings and fries make solid additions, but the wings are the reason people keep coming back. There is a reason Buff's has built such a strong reputation over the years, and after trying them, it is easy to understand why. The garlic parm ones were a particular highlight, some of the best we have had in the area, not overly saucy but with a nice amount of seasoning from the lemon and pepper that kept each bite drawing us back in. Service feels efficient and friendly, even when the restaurant is packed. The staff keeps things moving without making the experience feel rushed, and the overall atmosphere has the kind of comfortable neighborhood pub energy that makes you want to stay for another round. If you are looking for one of the most well-known wing spots in the Boston area, Buff's Pub absolutely lives up to the hype. Between the crispy wings, wide selection of sauces, and lively atmosphere, it feels like a place every wing fan should try at least once.

Stopped by here yesterday, and honestly, I should've kept driving…read more Before I get into the negatives, I do want to shout out Kimani and Lisa , they were amazing, friendly, and super helpful. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The restaurant itself looks clean, has plenty of space to dine in, and parking is easy, no complaints there. Now, the food... I should've known something was off when I had to drive with the windows down because of the smell. It was an overwhelming mix of vinegar and hot sauce. My boyfriend ordered sliders with cheese fries. The tenders were completely overloaded with seasoning -- to the point where it was excessive and unpleasant. He chose the "mild" spice level, and there was no heat at all. I ordered the chicken sandwich (medium) with cheese fries. The sandwich itself had potential, but the single tender packed with heavy, overpowering seasoning ruined it. It honestly ended up being some of the worst chicken I've ever had. I also ordered a reaper tender (which requires signing a waiver), and I regret it. Yes, it's hot, but beyond that, it's just not good. It tastes like the chicken was rolled in every spice possible without any balance. I love spicy food and was excited to try it, but this was just unpleasant. The portions, especially the cheese fries, were small for the price. I spent about $50 for two meals, two drinks, and one extra tender, which didn't feel worth it at all. The slush drinks (similar to Minute Maid) were also disappointing -- they tasted sour, almost like the machine hadn't been properly cleaned. Overall, I'd rate this a 3/10, and those points are entirely for the customer service from Kimani and Lisa. If I could get a refund, I would.
