Another terrible meal from an establishment that used to be a staple in the community! Ordered Food for my Mom on Mother's Day via Door Dash. She was supposed to have a slab of ribs, potato salad , greens , chicken livers and chicken wings . She received random burnt pieces of ribs, NOT the slab she was supposed to have . Greens were super spicy- she wasn't able to enjoy . Potato Salad had WAY too much mayo, gross! AND the oil needed to be changed for the chicken livers and wings . They tasted burnt! This order was over $100.00 and we only received a $50 credit . This is unacceptable. Slades has to do better and get back to the way things used to be . read more

I'm writing to share feedback about my recent Uber Eats order from Slade's. I dine in regularly and typically order wings, steak, and fries with no issues, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I understood that delivery food may need reheating and was fully prepared to air fry the wings and fries. That was not the issue. The problem was the quality and accuracy of the sides and entrées. The collard greens were so salty they were inedible and honestly concerning from a health standpoint. One plate that was supposed to include chicken, mac and cheese, and yams arrived with double yams and no mac and cheese at all. The other plate with catfish, potato salad, and collards was also disappointing. The catfish was overcooked, the potato salad was watery, and again, the collards could not be eaten. Additionally, the yams were gummy and seemed undercooked, as if they needed more time in the oven. Aside from the wings and fries, the rest of the order was a complete letdown. I have no issue paying for food I enjoy and love, but unfortunately this order was neither enjoyable nor acceptable based on the quality I usually expect from Slade's. read more

Community! Slade's a local hotspot for good vibes, great drinks, and amazing music -- especially on Tuesday's for Open Mic Night. During a recent trip to Beantown, a coworker took me here for an evening out on the town. Slade's was very chill and you could tell was full of usuals who frequent the spot. The menu has plenty of options, service was great especially being a first timer I didn't feel out of place. Known for their chicken wings and other items, the menu has variety and almost feels more soul foodish. Music wise, the jazz band who played that night kept the spot going. Also offering impromptu musicians to join. A great night out in Boston, Slade's is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Don't let anyone tell you different. read more

I've been to Slade's a few times, but this was my mom's 1st time dining here. Since then, she has done takeout twice! I know how busy they can get so I decided to come in around 3pm before the rush. Our waitress was kind and helpful. I ordered their fried chicken wing dinner with the sides: mac & cheese and black-eyed peas & rice. My mother ordered their rib dinner with the sides: potato salad and collard greens. Everything came out hot and fresh. I never tried their ribs, potato salad, and black-eyed peas & rice until now and I am blown away! We will be back to order more items off the menu! read more

I ordered the whiting dinner with yams and collards. This is the third and last time supporting this bar & grill. The first time they put wings instead of whiting in my order. The second time, everything was excellent - hot, flaky whiting . Tonight's meal was inedible!! The whiting was burnt, fried so much the inside was burnt brown - snapped in two. Disgusting. How they could send this out of their kitchen. Thank goodness Uber reimbursed my meal. I called Slade's to let them know as well. The person who answered tried to tell me whiting is not like chicken/chicken nuggets ??????? Try some place else or do pickup only. Not worth the inconsistency and poor quality. So disappointing. Do better. read more

Boston go to for southern food. Slade's hits every-time. Their wings are fried to the right crisp, and the chicken stays juicy and tender. Their collards hold a good texture and stay flavorful. It's also a vibe, staff is always friendly and you can catch community getting down on the dance floor too. a great spot for food or to build. read more

The food was not worth the 191 dollars that I had to pay. We looked at a menu and the prices weren't honored. That charged a higher amount than was on the menu. The service was good until it was time to pay the bill. They had the nerve to give a bill for $191 for 4 chicken tenders they charged $54 and they said that French fries came with them but still charged me for the fries. I will never go back there when I visit Boston Mass. I would never refer a friend or an enemy to eat there. I think I should receive a refund. read more

Very disappointing experience. The employee was extremely rude and acted like customers were bothering him instead of doing his job. The place also looked very dirty and not hygienic at all. Tables and the counter area did not look clean, and the overall atmosphere was unpleasant. Definitely not a place I would recommend. read more

Not sure why I've never reviewed Slade's as I've eaten here plenty of times before, but stopped in here yesterday with my cousin since she was visiting Boston for the first time, and I wanted to bring her to a place with a nice vibe and good food. Slade's did not disappoint. We got there a little after 5 pm, so it was still relatively empty. It did take a while before we were brought our menu which was odd since there really wasn't anyone there, but once it finally came, we ordered our food and I got the peachie cocktail which was very strong! The food, as always, was good. I ordered the chicken wing dinner with a side of candied yams and collard greens. I loved the greens and wings which I thought was just the right amount of crunch and crisp. The yams were also good, but just a bit too sweet. What I really liked though was the music. My sister, cousin and I were singing along to all the throwbacks and really had a nice time. Love it! read more

This review is just about the food really... Food here is good. Got large sampler with the steak tips, fried okra, fried white fish (no catfish at the time) and fried wings. What impressed me was that even though the food was fried, it wasn't oily of that makes sense. Service was good. It was just a group of six of us on a Sunday afternoon, everyone else that came in were picking up their orders to go. Ambience in the daytime is a bit dark, you can tell it really livens up in the night time. read more

Lived in Boston my entire life. 35 years. I finally decided to try slades and now I'm upset with myself for waiting so damn long. So many years wasted!! That fried chicken is the closest to grandmas fried chicken you will get. CRISPY yet Juicyyyy. Went in and I saw a group of elders doing the electric slide. I love my people! Will go back again n again n again n again!! read more

Loved this place. Keep in mind I'm from way out of town. My homie said meet him at this spot and it did not disappoint. Felt like I was with all my aunties and uncles. Maybe I am the uncle now! I had the 6 piece fried wings, Mac and cheese, and fries. I should've went for the yams. The fries were just okay. I wasn't too moved. The wings and Mac and cheese? I STAMP!!! Wings perfectly cooked and seasoned. Not too salty, not too bland. I didn't even really need hot sauce to enjoy. The Mac and fleeze? Elite. Seasoning in Mac and cheese matters and you can tell Slade's cares. I know you can't tell by these pictures but just believe me, they can COOK. The waitress was attentive and helpful, the vibe was very chill and relaxing on a Tuesday. Live band and DJ, the aunties and uncs dancing? Great energy. I will be back next time I'm in Boston! read more

The taste and quality of the side dish have gone down. the collard greens were very salty, uneatable to eat and the yams had so much sugar, I just could not enjoy my meal. read more

The portions definitely make it worth the price!! I eat a lot and I still had left over ribs and my boyfriend had some steak tips and they were big in size as well! We were both happily full! The chicken wings as well are large and everything is cooked to perfection. Not one complain at all! Enjoy! read more

The food was good but be aware there is a 20% service charge separate from the tip. A burger and fries + two small sides came out to $40 making the place kind of expensive. I do like supporting local restaurants and this place clearly has a lot of history, so I recommend going if you're willing to pay a slight upcharge for the food. read more

The food was recently getting better. I don't know what happened I ate here about a week ago, got the chicken wing dinner with greens & yams. I got food poisoning & ended up in the ER. So not sure if it was who was cooking, but got the food at night, picked up and some young folks working & in the kitchen. I love them I do, but now I can't eat there again. Also the food taste different most times, so it's definitely different cooks. Just keep the chicken when cooking or washing away from the other food. read more

My friends took me here after we had tried to go to Daryl's and it was closed for a private visit. They talk about how the place can get a bit sketchy but "braved" the visit. I thought nothing of it, I just wanted to experience the food. And when it came, I yelled at my fiends for not taking me here sooner. The food is on POINT! The wings were cooked perfectly. And the sides were dope. Also the music was so good. It reminded me of being at some dope wing spots in Atlanta. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for great soul food and good music. Service was fine and drinks are forgettable but looking for amazing food and good hip-hop music this is the place. read more

A pillar in Roxbury, Slade's was once owned by Bill Russell. Relishing soul food classics from fried fish to their gigantic fried chicken. Fried okra is a great option to get your meal started. DJ's on weekends too! I highly recommend this spot and it's rich in history! read more

I have heard so much about this place once I moved to Boston. In any new city I need to know where the best wings, blues, soul food, and strong drinks are. Bonus points if it's a spot frequented by the Elders and bonus bonus points if it's historical. Slade's met all of these expectations and had them in.....Spades! I went with my frat brothers after some Xmas community service. Little did I know the spot was hosting a graduation ceremony of sorts for a group of Steppers/Line Dancers in the New Englad area. Unc and Aunty vibes--Check! Music made it so conversations had to be close or shouted and the poor bartender was the only staffer on hand (apparently no one told him about the steppers' party), but he was calling and running plays like a veteran QB. Drinks might've taken a while, but once they arrived they were strong enough to where you didn't need to ask for another one for quite a while. Food was amazing. Well-seasoned, generous portions, and piping hot! I could only down half of it and was too excited to take the rest home for later. This spot got some bad press recently, but I know my experience was exactly what I wanted and I'll be back, soon! read more

Food want what I expected...I spent 120 dollars...wings has zero flavor... I also got collard greens (not good)...potato salad (terrible) and white rice which happened to beat the best out of all!!! I don't like to leave a bad review on a place I've known for over 40 years!!! I don't k know if they got rid of the of cooks or what!!!! But I wish I could have cancel the order on my credit card!!!! No one liked the food ,when they ate it!!! HIGHLY DISSAPOINTED!!! Slade's has always been a staple for great soul food!!! Either it was an off night,or the cook lost something on his fast ball!!! Either way it was 120 bucks for a sub par meal read more

This Soul Food in the South End sure hits the spot! We ordered online, picked it up, and ate at a picnic table in Franklin Park. What we loved: -Extra crispy chicken wings! Meaty, crunchy, and great with hot sauce. -BBQ ribs! A big, tender slab with bbq sauce sticking to the meat. YES. -Mac and cheese! Deliciously cheesy. Perfection. -Candied yams! Sweet with warm spices like cinnamon. What you order when you want to eat dessert alongside your meal. What was just ok: -String beans. What you get when you feel like you need something green. Fine consistency and slightly seasoned with salt. -Spicy fries. Not as crispy or spicy as I would have liked. Passable. -They forgot to include the corn bread I ordered, which was a bummer. Happy to support this Black-owned South End institution! I'll be coming back soon! read more

If you are an urban professional and looking for a grown and sexy establishment to see other people of color in Boston this is your spot! I've been coming to Slades for over 10 years and even after I left Boston, I Always check it out once a year. I stopped in last night as I'm in town visiting Family for Thanksgiving ! It's my understanding, it's under new management for the last year and I really like the updates and how modern it looks now! We walked in at about 430pm and were advised food is not available until 5pm so we sat at the bar. We ordered a Moscow mule and a Kentucky mule! I took off a star because they weren't served in the copper cups. The Spanish man at the bar was very nice and was handling the whole bar by himself! Kudos! The dj was amazing! They played everything from r&b, reggae, soca, and hip hop. People were dancing in their chairs and on the dance floor. At about 7-8pm, the crowd was picking up and Slades was buzzing! We also ordered the 12 piece wing with a side of greens and plantains! The wings were delicious and I would argue they are the best fried wings in the city! The decor is nice . The women's bathroom is so much nicer than it was years ago! The menu was updated. There are TVs screens through the building and the artwork in the dining area is nice! I'll be back read more

I loved Slade's!!! I will be going back! The food reminded me of being home in South Carolina. The mac n cheese is not quite what I'm used to (it's seasoned differently), but you can definitely tell they seasoned it!!! It was good. Nothing like the "mac n cheese" I typically find up here in the northeast. The prices were reasonable for the cost of living in this area. My friend and I ordered the Catfish Sandwich dinner wifh mac n cheese as well as the fried shrimp with "okra poppers" and fried plantains. Take note that the plantains are tostones and not maduros (sweet)!!! My order took a little minute to come out, but the waitress was really nice and the food was hot and delicious. read more

It's my favorite spot in Boston. Those over baked wings served on Tuesdays and Fridays are worth the awful commute into and out of the city.

Today I had a fish dinner with sides and cornbread. The fish was cooked just how I like it. The side of potato salad and string beans were okay. My biggest complaint was the cornbread. It was burnt, hard as a rock, and wrapped in paper. I was really looking forward to some cornbread with my meal. read more

Went here last night for dinner at the recommendation of one of the workers at the hotel we were staying. Best suggestion ever. Food was BOMB!! I had the chicken wings, mac n cheese and yams. Everything was delicious. Chicken wings were hot, flavorful, and crispy. Mac n cheese and yams were delicious. Hubby had the fried chicken livers with mac and greens. I tasted the greens and they were good. I had the Ciroc punch for a drink and it they did not spare the liquor and it was good. Service was good. Everyone was nice. The place turned into a club later in the evening. All in all it was a great experience. read more

Thanks to the amazing staff at Slades, I am delighted. I called and spoke to Laenah. We ordered the Super Sampler: chicken, shrimp, steak tips, and fries. The best thing about Slades is that their food is made with love, and it feels like a family member made a plate for you. This is home cooking at it's best. After my brother's 16-hour work shift, he was so happy to enjoy this amazing plate of goodness. You have to check them out when you are in the mood for some well-seasoned food. You will be happy when you arrive and realize they put lots of attention to their food quality! Enjoy, and thanks again to my friend, Laenah. Stay Safe! Also important to note: When my brother arrived, they followed CDC guidelines and practiced safe guidelines during the pickup. read more

Worth it every time, it's something about the seasoning on the meat that bring out each bite. They are opening during COVID with both inside and outside dinning, we sat inside.

I live in Brockton. I wanted some fried Okra so what better place than Slades on Tremont Street. So my husband and I drove down making family and friend stops in between. Of course it was the usual double parking, people going and coming from everywhere and the music so loud you couldn't hear. We ordered our food, fried okra, 3 chicken dinners with 2 Mac & Cheese, 2 Black Eye peas and Rice, 2 Collard Greens, 1 Yams. What we received was 1Mac & Cheese, 2 Black Eye Peas no Rice, Yams, 1 Collard Greens and 3 Chickens none of which was the standard Dinners and no utensils or napkins we have grown to know from Slade's. The kitchen was filled with young adults playing and catering to the Bar crowd instead of the ones who ordered to take out. The phone doesn't have anyone answering it, the mailbox is full. So this is the only Avenue possible for this review. Jackie read more

Ribs and chicken & salad were to perfection! 5+ stars. From out of town at a convention. Best meal in my entire week here. Can't say enough good things about the chicken & ribs cooked to perfection.

Hospitality Review; I was solo looking to wrap up my Aries celebration & Yelp brought me here. From the moment I walked up being welcomed by the Security staff, to the Door Attendant, the Bartenders & any other employee passing me by with friendly salutations, SB&G offers welcoming environment. Deemed as one of Boston's oldest establishments providing a rich culture in food & entertainment. I found out a little later, the owner of Darryl's Bar & Kitchen co-owns SB&G. As an aside, I hosted my WomanBaby's graduation dinner at DB&K two years back & was pleased with the experience. The versatility from a bar, to a full menu eatery with live / DJ music is on a positive. However, I wasn't too keen on paying $10 to gain access to a 'bar & grill' at 9ish on a Saturday night. Yet, around 10:30P the mixed crowd between ages 30-45, along with the DJ & wine per glass prices balanced out the cover fee. Although I didn't eat, I saw vast plates of Seafood, Steak, Salads & massive orders of their specificity Chicken Wings. Special thanks to BJ (Security) & Sean/Shawn (GM) for ensuring the solo patron from the DMV was well taking care of. I will bring the family to Slades next month when I return for the WomanBaby's graduation celebration. Perhaps the ownership team / Executive Chef can add a Vegan Burger & or a Vegetarian item to their menu in the interim. :-) read more
