    Charred Lemon Pepper Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Candace R.

    I was in the area and stopped by for a quick lunch. There's a lot of street parking in the area and I quickly found a spot right out front. I thought I was walking into an indoor seating situation but there are just two picnic tables outside, at least during my visit. The woman at the front was incredibly friendly and took care of my order quickly, which was the charred lemon pepper sandwich, fries and a soda. She let me know it would be about a 20 min wait and she was exactly right. Food was brought out and it was hot and fresh. Unfortunately, the lemon pepper flavor was barely noticeable, if not overtaken by the pear slaw. The composition of the sandwich was good but I wished for more flavor. Seasoned fries are one of my favorite types and there's were delicious. Enough to share, I took about half back home. I'd try another sandwich to see if I just picked wrong but I won't be running back.

    This place good great reviews on social media so we decided to try it. I ordered the Classic Chicken sandwich and French fries. My boyfriend ordered the lemon pepper chicken sandwich. No indoor seating. Limited outdoor seating. I rate it a 5 star

    Classic!
    Mary L.

    I've tried the classic fried chicken sandwich twice. The first time was so good. Chicken was fried nicely, seasoned well and still semi warm when it came home to be devoured. The second time I got it just wasn't as good as I remembered. It was a tad bit on the bland side..maybe just not seasoned enough. That or my salt tolerance is higher.

    Black Garlic Fried Chicken Sandwic
    Girl W.

    Having worked my way through the flavors on the menu I can say without hesitation that these are the BEST chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Current favorite: Lime, Cilantro and Garlic, super yummy! Don't sleep on the Black Garlic (which is also on the Pineapple Garlic ) it has been a long time favorite of mine! Did I mention the seasoned fries?? Seasoned to perfection and served with a side of Fowl Sauce, their own house-made chipotle aioli. Best usually to pre order online as this hot spot sells out on the regular!

    Charred Lemon Pepper Chicken Sandwich

    Doordashed a charred lemon pepper sando and a side of fries. It was a pretty good chicken sandwich, but it didn't live up to my expectations. Maybe i shouldn't have read the other reviews, or maybe the lemon pepper just isn't as good as their more popular black garlic sandwich. Or maybe the coleslaw/pickle combo doesn't work well with the lem pepper, because i couldn't taste it much. The seasoned fries were good. The chipotle aioli also Would give this place another chance tho.

    Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich
    Nancy L.

    This place makes a pretty consistent, tasty fried chicken sandwich with both a classic and unique styles. I usually go for their regular fried chicken sandwich and it's always very crispy, the bun is perfectly toasted and buttery, and they do a unique pear slaw that is not too acidic! I'm not a huge pickles fan, but I find that their pickles aren't too pickled so I like it with the sandwich. They have a special sauce that very well with the other flavors of the sandwich. The only thing about this place that doesn't compare to its counterparts is that the spicy chicken sandwiches aren't super spicy, compared to some of the other places in Oakland. So if you're looking for a super spicy hot chicken sandwich, this might not be the best option in my opinion. Regardless, I am a huge fan place and find myself coming back often. Unfortunately, the store is located on a side street in Alameda so it's all street parking with not very many options. They also only take online orders through the website and not phone orders. There's not too much seating, a couple of benches around. Seems like it's a one-man show!

    Kudos to this one man shop! We got lucky and placed an online order while driving out to alameda, and thank goodness we did because as people were coming in after us their wait time was anywhere between 45min-1hr. The brisket was well cooked, as with the fried chicken. All the flavors were well blended together. And the portion sizing were definitely not skimped on either! 1 could easily feed 2, maybe even 3 depending on the group. Was glad we were able to make a trip out to try it. Outdoor seating is limited, and there is no bathroom available for the customers either.

    Classic Chicken Sandwich
    Lauren W.

    Small and simple chicken stand, with a few tables outside for seating. There is one person taking orders and one person cooking, and a fridge for a selection of beverages to purchase. Casual music played overhead. I was hoping to try the black garlic chicken sandwich but unfortunately they did not have this in stock for the day. I opted for the original chicken sandwich instead, and it was very light and crispy! The sauce pairs well with the sandwich and we also got fries which were nice and crispy. I appreciated and was very surprised that I wasn't hit with an overwhelming sense of sleepiness after eating this chicken sandwich (which I oftentimes do with something this heavy). Great spot to have a quick midday bite!

    Black Garlic Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Amanda S.

    I don't know that I would have ever found this place without a friend's referral but so glad I went and now I want to go again! Counter service with limited outdoor seating near the side walk by the road so it isn't intimate but it isn't noisy either. When I went there was a gentleman that was a one man show (perhaps owner) was taking orders, cooking, and still checked in with us (by name!) to see how things were. Talk about incredible service! The black garlic sandwich was delicious! Tender, juicy, with nicely seasoned fries to accompany. They have some really interesting chicken sandwiches so I want to go back and try the others!

    On the day of the transaction, we contacted the business by phone. At that time, no refund was offered -- only a discount on a future visit. Because no refund had been issued, we filed a dispute with our bank. As shown in the attached transaction screenshot, the dispute was initiated before any refund was reflected on our account. The owner later contacted us directly using the personal phone number provided for the pickup order. In that message (see screenshot), we were accused of being dishonest and told the order had already been refunded. We are sharing this update so other consumers are aware of our experience and the fact that contact information provided for an order was later used to send an accusatory message following a dispute.

    Classic burger

    After posting this review, the owner contacted us directly on a personal phone number used for the order and accused us of dishonesty while falsely stating that a refund had already been issued. The refund was only initiated after a bank dispute. We believe customers should be aware of this conduct. The chicken was like rubber and it looks raw. It's like they just slapped sauces on it and called it food. Also the vegetables like the pickles and coleslaw taste expired and bitter. I'm sure it is expired. I had high hopes for this place because of the reviews. Now I'm convinced the ratings are fake. I never even review places but this was just so bad.

    Charred Lemon Pepper Fries
    Shirene B.

    After seeing the spot on IG thanks to one of my foodie bosses, we finally put in an order. I had the Charred Lemon Pepper Fries and he had the Charred Lemon Pepper sandwich. Both were excellent. There was plenty of chicken, sauce and fries in my order. Pick up was super easy and the owner was nice. I spoke with another patron who was picking up her order and she recommended the citric hot sandwich. I definitely will be trying that or the black garlic chicken sandwich. The pineapple also sounds amazing. Ordering ahead is definitely the way to go as the owner is a one person show right now. It'll definitely be worth the wait if you don't though.

    Food was so tasty and well worth the wait! 10/10 recommend! I got a chicken Cesar salad and whatever the cook is doing back there he's doing it right lol

The first time I went with my toddler and I was in a wheelchair after ankle surgery. We ordered food, the cashier said I would get a text, and we picked a table. 49 minutes later I wheeled up and asked if our grilled cheese, popcorn chicken, and tater tots would be ready soon. The cashier was on his phone and said "did you even check your messages? That order's been ready for a while now." I look inside and it's been shoved to the side. A nice lady handed me the tray and the grilled cheese is cold. I told the cashier and he just shrugged. Then I'm in the wheelchair with the tray on my lap, but I can't wheel and carry a tray. I asked the cashier for help. Since I'm interrupting him from his cell phone again, he makes a big deal of sighing then asking the lady inside to help me. The chicken was mostly breading. Fries didn't seem salted. I gave the cold grilled cheese to my dogs when I got home. Every time we have gone since then, there are a ton of kids running around. But there isn't a kids menu. I don't want to buy a 5-year-old crummy chicken or an overpriced burger. Now we leave and grab sushi then come back. The vast majority of my friends are disappointed in Southie as well.
