Nu Chicken was ABSOLUTELY a little treat for myself! Their carefully crafted spicy chicken sandwich is one of the better things I've eaten in Worcester so far! If you like a little kick, definitely go for their medium spice option - it packs a good punch without sacrificing flavor! Their loaded fries are to die for and who doesn't love a good shake to top off the meal?? Highly recommend checking them out! read more

Very good chicken! The sides were great as well! The people there were helpful and nice. read more

I love the concept here and genuinely appreciate a restaurant committed to skipping seed oils. That said I've eaten here at least a dozen times and outside of opening week every single sandwich has arrived soaked in oil. It's a real shame because the flavors underneath are excellent. If they can dial in the frying and stop the chicken and bun from turning into a greasy soggy mess this would easily be my favorite chicken spot in the area. read more

I had rated NU Chicken 4 star on my first visit, but after coming back a few times it's a solid 5 for me now. I even attended their grand opening celebration and got a free cap and the strawberry shortcake sundae--it didn't look like much but it was rich, creamy soft serve and super tasty. This visit I went with the one tendie meal, and it was the right portion for me. Their tendies are massive--juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. Two was a little too much for me last time, so one was the perfect portion. Service has been consistently great--friendly and fast every time. NU Chicken has officially earned a spot on my go-to list when I'm craving quality tendies. They also updated their patio area by adding additional seeing and a nice pergola. Cheers. read more

Gave NuChicken a try! Staff - 5/5. super friendly and polite Restaurant - 5/5. well done, they just added outdoor seating. Clean, limited tables. Food - 4/5. Got medium spice and the flavor was overwhelmingly paprika and really spicy. One tender was enough for me. Fries were crispy. I will definitely go back, maybe next time I will try the tenders plain. Keep this cursed location in business! read more

Had the tenders and fries yesterday. The staff was friendly. The chicken was perfectly fried and so moist. The fries were incredible. The ranch... 10/10. This restaurant serves the best food. Eat here NOW! read more

Got takeout from Nu Chicken on Park Ave, Worcester. Ordered the tender meal with meteor shower spice, it was super crispy & fresh. The beef tallow-fried french fries stayed crispy, even to go. Kola Lite from Tractor Drinks was a nice surprise. read more

NU Chicken - 1 Tender Meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Ordered a chicken sandwich a side of the cauliflower bites and fries. This was one of the greasiest meals I've ever had. The box was covered in grease. There was so much grease that the fries and the cauliflower bites soaked through their containers into the box with the chicken. The cauliflower had zero flavor, no salt no taste, even after air frying and adding salt, it lacked any flavor. The fries were decent, I heated those up in my air fryer. The spice level was satisfactory for what I wanted. It seems as though they should drain the fat or put paper towels over it before they put it into the containers. This had more grease in the box than any french fry stand at any county fair! Don't run to try this place. I was disappointed. read more

It was very good nice clean place We went on grand opening day and the owner was there. Very nice gentleman great staff very friendly, easy parking and the chicken was delicious. read more

Yo. Honest review. Staff 10/10 super nice even tho i didn't know what i wanted bc i was a newbie Food 9.5/10 chicken was real chicken. Big size and tender. I got the first level spice and was pretty solid! I'm not big on spicy food but it was flavorful and just enough for me to still enjoy the chicken haha. Mac and cheese wayyyyyy better than chick fila and their French fries taste really good bc they cook them in healthy oil idk if my wife said they cook it in beef talon or something like that. The loaded fries are LOADED. Worth the price! Atmosphere 10/10 super chill and just good vibes. Honestly the only reason i don't give the place a 10/10 is bc the soda is healthy soda. (I'm not a big fan) And the cola tasted like apple cinnamon soda idk. My wife liked it but I'm not a big soda person. The lemonade is prreeettttyyy good tho! Def helped me out with the spicy chicken All that said. Dave's chicken and Chick-fil-A who?????? NU Chicken got a new big back customer 33 bucks for 2 meals is a win for that quality food. Pictures may not justify how good it is. But i say definitely give it a shot! read more

Best hot chicken I've ever had. Fries and mango juice were delicious too. Very fresh!

Honestly disappointing. I gave 3 stars because the service was good and the food came out quick and steaming hot. I was one of 4 people in there, though. Food is better than Dave's Hot chicken or whatever the place down the street is, not better than chick-fil-a. I got 2 tenders ($10) and a Mac and cheese ($6). I also tried a sample of their frozen custard, but did not end up ordering a sundae because it had the tiniest hint of spoiled taste. Just the tiniest hint, it could've even been just bitterness because it's custard not ice cream, but the taste wasn't it for me. I got a half iced tea half lemonade that must've been at least $4 even though it was a 16 oz cup that they filled 3/4 with ice and it probably had a total of 6oz liquid in it if that. Ok, back to the food. The chicken came out steaming hot and it was moist in the loveliest way. Those were the good things. I ordered zero level spice. The batter was really salty and garlicky and almost all of it fell off the chicken as I cut it. So that was that. The Mac and cheese was sub par. Noodles were over cooked, cheese wasn't fully melted even though it was hot and bread crumbs were just that- bread crumbs- and more salt, no real seasonings. I spent $26 (granted I tipped $5 when I paid at the register) and it just wasn't amazing. Next time I'll probably just go to chick fil a. read more

I was initially skeptical, but I've ordered a few times from Nu Chicken now, and it's fantastic--the Nashville chicken sandwich is far superior to Dave's Hot Chicken (in my opinion), the fries are delicious, and the sauces are a highlight of their own (love the Moonboy and the ranch tastes homemade). They don't hold back on the spice if you want it. Custard was pretty good, maybe not the star of the show, but loving everything else I've tried. read more

Amazing food! I love the fact that the fries are cook on beef tallow! Also the service was fast and friendly. read more

Great sandwich! Healthly option fried in avacado oil. Been there 3 times since opening and perfect every time. read more

The food at this place is beyond disappointing. The oil was dripping off the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich buns. No piece of meat and just the tasteless crunch. Even Wendy's is way better than this place Not coming back again. read more

The food tasted old.... Recommend cooking the food and smaller batches and keeping it under the heating lights for a short amount of time making new stuff every 40 minutes read more

NU Chicken - Very good environment - Chicken Shop Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Anything above the recommended is tooo spicy in my opinion but but everything else was good

We ordered tenders, mac&cheese, and a shake. the tenders were burning hot and not terribly appetizing with a few soft pickles on the side. The mac&cheese was also cold and the shake was nowhere to be seen. The service itself wasn't great and felt very laid back. read more

This is "the" place for chicken tenders to say the least!! Chicken cooked to perfection and fries as well

Just had lunch at Nu Chicken. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The chicken was so big it hung out larger than the bun. Staff was super nice. Can't wait to go back! read more
