I am not familiar with this area but thought it might be good to try. I was extremely impressed. I ordered the mild slider and chicken tender (combo #3). The slider was crisp, had a hint of sweetness (honey), and everything blended well. The tender paired well with the Birdie sauce. Fries were crispy and seasoned. It was quiet and I could tell the staff were getting along. Overall great experience! read more

Food was not good, only spicy...no flavor. 2 out of 3 of us ended up with significant GI issues. Lemonade was weak. The customer service was tragic at best. Girl behind the counter was more obsessed with her phone than anything that we needed. No eye contact and non-verbal. And the fries were not edible. Knew I should have gone to the coal fired pizza place next door. read more

I had heard amazing things about Birdies Hot Chicken and knew I had to try it! First, I want to shout out the amazing service I got. The cashier/server was super friendly. I asked what's the most popular order and recommended the sliders to me since that's what they're known for! I decided on a slider and tender combo that was about $14-15. Don't be fooled when ordering a slider though, they call it a slider but it's HUGE! I usually think of sliders as small bites but this was a whole full sandwich. I went for medium heat and I thought it wasn't too spicy but definitely had a small amount of heat to it. The chicken came out hot, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and very flavorful! Not to mention, the chicken was also super juicy. I really enjoyed their Birdie Sauce to dip my fries and chicken tender in. I also liked the fact they drizzle the sauce on the slider as well. The sauce was super tasty and paired well with the chicken. It's similar to Dave's Sauce or Raising Canes but unique and great in its own right. I also liked that they included pickles but definitely wish I had more than 3 pieces. Birdies is an awesome place to grab a quick take-out meal or sit down. There are some old-school arcade games (which are free to play!!) that are awesome and give off a cool vibe! There are a few tables to sit down at as well and the restaurant itself is very clean. Overall, I would recommend giving Birdies a try as I thought the food was super delicious! read more

I ordered the chicken leg quarter with mac & cheese, hot spice level and no substitution charge for the mac & cheese. I did the order on the app and was able to pick it up quickly in the store upon arrival. The spice level on the chicken leg cord it was very good. It's a dry spice not a wet spice the chicken my quarter was maybe a little small for some but it was only 899 for the order so that's actually pretty good in my view. An additional chicken leg quarter is 299 which is also good. It seems to be a zing to the macaroni and cheese and a person who might've been the owner of the manager said that shouldn't be, but maybe that was just me. Probably gonna try the chicken wings next time I come here read more

Birdies Hot Chicken - Chicken leg quarter with macaroni and cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Westwood, Massachusetts

We ordered 2 tenders with fried and macaroni and cheese. We couldn't finish them. Each tender is like a half chicken breast. We ordered medium but it was spicier than I was expecting. Service was great. Ambiance is a cool, retro aesthetic. So worth it! read more

Friendly and accommodating staff from the moment you walk in. Chicken comes out hot and is really juicy, plus has great flavor for the level of heat you choose. We got the two slider combo and went with the hot level of spice - it definitely leaves a kick in your mouth. They have old school arcade games lining the wall you can play while you wait for your food. Looking forward to coming back the next time we come shopping in the plaza. read more

Birdies Hot Chicken - Slider combo - Fast Food Near Me - Westwood, Massachusetts

Will be our family's go to! The kid friendly ambience is wonderful with old school arcade games and the chicken tender sliders are yummy. Whenever we're in a dinner rut, we can rely on everyone in the family being satisfied. We haven't tried heat level more than medium so if you like spicy you won't be disappointed. read more

This place is fantastic. Better than Dave's imo, a tiny bit cheaper for the same items, and just as crispy and at times more juicy. The first slider I had from here was truly unforgettable, it was so god damn drippy it was insane. I hate that I'm even adding this cus I'm scared this will make it more expensive, but I always add the quarter leg combo for $4.50 it's essentially a whole nother meal and is perfect to add to rice when I feel lazy. Gotta say tho, last time I ordered the sliders were a bit smaller than usual. And one thing you might not enjoy is that they usually use sweet bread and butter pickles. Overall my go to choice for hot crispy chicken. read more

Amazing tasting chicken & great service. I ordered the #3 Combo in medium, and it was great.

Never tried before. I was next door and decided to try the chicken. I ordered a single chicken tender meal and was 4.50 for chicken on bread with pickle and sauce. I wasn't expecting much for 4.50 with Biden inflation . I ordered mild spice. Well the chicken was outrageously tender, perfect moist breading perfect not too hot for me but nice spice kick... i don't need much to be happy. WOW... i can't eat chicken at Popeyes or elsewhere now. Was a huge size tender and with pickles, bread all I needed for lunch... menu needs more options... a take out six pack of tenders, a family size meal , I wanted a chicken breast ? Or a half chicken meal or a Jamaican jerk option? Maybe a kfc meal with a breast, coke slaw, fries or veggies tots or mashed ? Add a honey hot option I'll be back as this is chicken crack ... and addictive read more

So I wanted to compare this to Dave's Hot chicken Dorchester location here are the takeaways: Service: A+! Server was thoughtful caring and kind. Food: B+ I felt it was ok but not outstanding. I feel they messed up on one of the tenders. It was significant hotter than the other. Also the fried chicken wing was a bit dry. Also tenders were on the small side. So not quite Dave's, but a good alternative in a pinch! read more

Amazing chicken tenders. It did take a while to be prepared but the wait was worth it. Super spicy without being painful. Love you, Birdie

Birdies Hot Chicken opened another location at University Station in Westwood across the parking lot from Wegmans. They have their other location in Brockton.  Birdies Hot Chicken offers a straightforward menu including chicken tenders (choose your spicy level), fries, cheese fries, sliders, chicken & waffles, jumbo wings, mac & cheese, fried Oreos, chocolate churros and Pepsi fountain drinks. This place is order at the counter with table seating to the left. Birdies has similar offerings and pricing to a large national hot chicken chain with a Canadian rapper as an investor. I stopped by Birdies Hot Chicken in Westwood on grand opening day for lunch. The place was very busy with all tables inside occupied, so it was takeout for me. There was no line out the door and I was able to place my order within 3 minutes and ordered the #2 Combo (same number as the other place, lol), 2 Sliders (Medium spiciness) & Fries ($14.50 plus tax) and a side of Mac & Cheese ($4.00 plus tax). They call your name when your order is ready. It took 10 minutes after ordering for my order to be packed, bagged, and ready to go. The sliders had crisp thick chicken tenders, slaw, sweet pickles & tangy orange Birdie sauce on soft buns were very good. The chicken tenders were crispy outside which had an initial sweet flavor, then medium hot taste! I did bite into a small piece of grizzle in one tender. The crinkle cut fries, not salted, were golden fried and firm. The Mac & Cheese had firm dense macaroni and some thick orange cheese sauce. I would stop by again for lunch after shopping and try their chicken & waffles. read more

Glad Birdies expanded from their Brockton location, and looking forward to trying more of the menu! Rounded the 4.4 averaged rating to 5 stars here. My partner and I got Combo #1: 2 tenders (extra hot) w fries, combo #6: chicken (hot) and waffles, and chocolate churros - TASTE: 5/5 - both chicken tenders were flavorful, not just from the spicy seasoning on the skin, but the chicken itself was well seasoned too. There was a clear distinction between the extra hot (spicy but still enjoyable w dunks of the sauce) and hot (didn't think it was that spicy). The Belgian waffle was truly perfect w its pearl sugar, and complemented the chicken nicely. I don't personally understand the side of toasted white bread, but seems to be the norm like at Raising Cane's and Dave's Hot Chicken. The churros' chocolate sauce was sweet like Hershey's, and a good end to the meal TEXTURE: 5/5 - everything was satisfying to eat and fried well PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $38 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - good portions for dinner; we had no leftovers SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5:30pm on a Monday, and there was only one other party seated. The woman at the register was super friendly and helpful, we definitely felt welcomed! Our food came out 5-10min after ordering ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - fun space w free arcade games and murals of the cute chicken logo PARKING: 5/5 - plenty of parking in the University Station plaza. Convenient for us to get our grocery shopping done right after at Wegmans read more

After horrible first time here, been back 5 times since and been happy with service / time it takes to make the food. I usually do slider and wing. Always hit the spot if you craving some fried chicken read more

This is one of our favorite places to get comfort food. It's delicious and a simple menu makes it easy to decide. The prices are reasonable. We tried the new Dave's hot chicken in Dedham and it's just simply not as good. Less flavor, smaller tenders, Mac and cheese isn't as good as birdies and they don't have chocolate churro dessert which is to die for. The fries are very similar but Birdies fries stay crispier for longer. They seem to always get the order right. I just really like everything about this place. read more

The food is excellent. The place is clean. The workers are super friendly. I got the medium tenders and they were fantastic, with some good heat. I go to this place about once a month and it does not disappoint. read more

I've been to the Brockton location and when we were running errands in the south shore we were thrilled to see that there was a second location in Westwood !!! Friendly staff greeted us the moment we walked in, and was super attentive and helpful. I love how open the kitchen is - you get to see the fresh foods being made to order. I did the one wing and slider combo and the flavor was there ! Hands down best wings I've ever had , extra crispy, juicy, and right amount of spice ! We also ordered side Mac and cheese and it was chefs kiss! Highly recommend this place! Love that it's in Westwood now. read more

Birdies Hot Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Westwood, Massachusetts

This place is excellent! Chicken-wise, I think it's on par or perhaps a bit better than Dave's. As someone who likes things hot, I've found the 'extra hot' to be the perfect heat level for my taste buds. I agree with what I've seen other reviewers saying, the girl up front is always incredibly nice and welcoming. Keep up the good work! read more

Solid 4 star experience here recently. Got the 3 piece and chicken and waffles. Maybe too much breading on the 3 piece, but tasty good sized wings. Chicken and waffles were great. Will probably go with that next time. Spice is on the hotter side of whatever heat you choose. Customer service was 5 stars. The young lady who helped us was fantastic. Oh - and free video games ! read more

Probably the best fried chicken I've had in a long time. We ordered to go and everything was perfect! The waffle and tenders were absolutely delicious perfect amount of sweet and savory. My son is a chicken wing fanatic and he devoured every bite. The combos have plenty of food - the wings are giant. I don't typically like fries but Birdies fries are crunchy and seasoned perfectly. read more

The sliders are juicy and well flavored. Fries came out very crispy, and the sauce is amazing too. I thought it was slightly expensive when I ordered, but the portion sizing is actually very fair.

Birdies Hot Chicken - Combo 2 - Fast Food Near Me - Westwood, Massachusetts

I read many reviews about the staff being rude so I was curious about service as well as the food. When I arrived it was pretty late (about 8pm). They close at 9pm. Upon arriving I saw a tiny hand written note that says the last order is taken at 8:45 taped to the door. I was in the safe zone but I was told that I had to take my food to go even though there was plenty of time & seating available. Fine w me because I planned on eating at home. As I waited for my food I asked if everything was cooked to order or sitting behind the kitchen wall cooked already in a basket? The friendly cashier told me it was "made to order". She was very helpful being that it was my 1st visit. I reflected on the reviews and said I would update accordingly because they were not bad. It wasn't until other customers showed up and they were told either to "get their food to go" or "no more orders were being taken" due to the cook sticking her head out a window and telling the cashier not to put any more orders in even though they weren't closed yet. You could tell she was annoyed though. Luckily the people walking in all ordered online ahead of time. The look on their faces was priceless. The food was ok. Wasn't bad but wasn't anything I had to come back for the next day. I feel if you are specializing only in boneless chicken tenders, you better be on point and knock everyone's Sox off. With that said I ordered a single tender mildly spiced just so I could try it out at home. Ordered a combo slider and tender plain which came with fries. The mild spice chicken and plain tasted similar. Both seasoned. The tender is served on a white piece of bread in the box and a side of sauce. The sauce and chicken together had a pretty good flavor. Similar to mayo/ketchup mix. The slider had slaw, pickles, drizzled sauce on a potato roll. Could do without the slaw. Was basically another huge tender on a potato roll. Since it was a combo it also came with another chicken tender. Would of been fine without the combo and just a slider with fries. The combo should also come with a drink for the price. The chicken had a flaky light coating that wasn't just breaded. It was pretty good. The fries were dry and didn't seem fresh. I will not know until I order them again. If they come like that again it's probably over cooked or sitting too long. I will give it another go now that I know what to expect. In addition, they have a wide variety of spice levels. They should offer a grilled chicken option for those that don't want fried. Maybe even their own Cesar's chicken salad version offered would be a nice alternative. The place itself looks drab and dark. Doesn't really make you feel like eating there. It's like an empty party hall that needs something to lighten the mood. Like better decor, more lighting and maybe some monitors to watch news, Movies or music videos etc...something. Can't wait to try Dave's chicken to compare the two. read more

Im addicted. Everything in the menu is worth trying. And the costumer service here is amazing. The place is always clean too .

Got three tacos as they were on special - 3.50/ each. Dipped those bad boys in the tasty sauce. Everything was awesome. The staff were helpful. Tacos came with one tender with your heat level, on a tortilla, some sauce drizzled and their banging slaw. Will return to do a more traditional hot chicken meal and the fries. I played some NBA Jam too... Like this place I was on fire! read more

This place is phenomenal! Amazing food, extremely amazing service! I loved how they had the arcade games as well!

I was expecting a decent lunch when I went here, most hot chicken sandwich places are good, but I could not believe how amazing this was. I was speechless when I ate this for the first second and third times. And the sauce on the side is incredible, and I don't even know what it is. I could drink it! read more

I bit on the expensive side, but the chicken was delicious. Their "sliders" are full size sandwiches. People there were very friendly, and my kids loved the free old school video games. read more

For starters: THE MAC AND CHEESE IS A HORRIBLE FLAVORLESS MESS (I wouldn't feed that Sħïł to a dog) The chicken was visibly seasoned but had no flavor?? Fries were cold n dry to the point where i'd rather eat straight sand. At least that would be warmer. Fountain drink options were so weird and the cups are so tiny for the price. PSA for those who like spice: The mild isn't like a mild, its more like hot lava. So keep that in mind if you decide to give this place a try. All in all, don't come here if you are looking for good food! 10/10 would NOT recommend. read more

My husband decided to give Birdies on Saturday a visit ,after seeing it while food shopping in the Westwood area. We were very impressed with the greeting and attention given by the young , energetic and very professional counter gal . It was so refreshing not to be met with a typical and tired "next" but rather a delightful and efficient staff member. We both opted the # 2 chicken sliders with mild and medium spice options. Both were delicious and filling! Job well done ! read more

Birdies Hot Chicken is the culinary equivalent of a phoenix rising from the flames. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, a tantalizing dance on your taste buds. The chicken is so succulent, it could make a vegetarian question their life choices. The heat? It's like a perfectly timed punchline - enough to make you sweat, but leaving you craving for more. So do what I do at least once a week and spread your wings and soar to Birdies, where every meal is a beautifully curated masterpiece. Or just go there for the Baked Oreos. Pretty sure they sprinkle crack on it. read more
