Yellowbird Chicken - WEST ROXBURY

To much salt on the food be a lil light on the salt never

Not sure where these bad reviews came from. This food is exactly what you’re looking for out of a fried chicken joint. The chicken is fantastic. I saw a few people say it was too salty. Perhaps, but I like well-seasoned food. Sides are great, especially the mac cheese and fast food style fries. The prices are also very fair. A good-sized Buffalo chicken sandwich for $7.99 is a steal these days.

Their quickest menu items are like the best KFC items, only cooked to order, so much tastier and fresher, even if the wait is a little longer. Their dinners are kind of like Boston Market fare, very comparable. If you select carefully among the side dishes, you will have a very decent meal. Love the bird 's nest fries, and the customized grilled chicken sandwiches (fresh onion tomato, chipotle mayo). Greens and sweet potato are good sides. Locally-owned, so they seem to care a bit more. 98% take-out: I 've never seen anyone sitting and eating inside, though that is possible.

The owner is super nice but the food is so so. The mac and cheese was good. The potato salad and cornbread were not bad. Coleslaw was watery. The chicken was salty and dry. I tried making crispy chicken salad out of the boneless wings and tenders to salvage what I paid for but just ended up throwing everything away. Place smells like old grease and that is how the chicken tastes as well. Honestly KFC on Washington Street has better tenders. Place could use a refresh or cleaning.

19.99 for a whole chicken? Bigger ones rotisserie chickens at Costco 4.99? Granted he can't sell for 4.99 , but 14.99 if more flavors than Costco? But quality and size and rotisserie flavor at Costco very good. Maybe buy hot sides at KFC and a Costco chicken and good under Brandon inflation
