bb.q Chicken Allston

bb.q Chicken in Allston was one of the chain's first locations in Boston/MA! Since then, they've opened & continue to open more locations. This location is opened the latest daily, until 2am, with take out last call being 10pm. Quality and taste of chicken is definitely the best here tbh. My go-to is the honey garlic! Always super crispy somehow with all the sauce. Service is quick & easy with menu scannable via QR code. A must try if you haven't yet... highly recommend the honey garlic. My favorite flavor that they offer ;))

My go to bbq chicken place because this is the only location that allows you to do half and half with ANY KIND OF FLAVORS you want!They have street parking in the front, and the servers are always quick to accommodate us. If you love crispy and cheese powder, I would recommend you cheesling! The wings always come out steamy fresh and extra crispy with a side of radish.The ambiance is depending on which hours of the day you there, but it always uplift with kpop music in the background. Nice spot to go with friends/co workers for destress

Really yummy chicken and side dishes too. The bulgolgi poutine was such a unique twist on korean food and really yummy. The chicken was all very good as well, pretty standard korean fried chicken. We tried to get as many types as possible but honestly couldn't super differentiate between them. The service was phenomenal, everyone was super welcoming and attentive. They kept a constant eye on our water and plates. At the end, we did credit card roulette and the waitress was so sweet, she said that she knew one of the cards had the best cashback on dining so she picked that one.

The first red flag was when I stood at the counter for almost 5 minutes before a woman bagging orders, who clearly saw me standing there, to acknowledged me as a waitress walked past me trying not to make eye contact. Now on to the food; I ordered the original fried wings and the Secret Sauce boneless wings, the original wing were dry as if sitting in the warmer for some time and the Boneless sauce nuggets had the same consistency only topped off with sauce. Needless to say, after looking at this food and experiencing the poor customer service, not only will I NOT be returning others might want to think twice before eating here unless they want old food and poor customer service!

Super delicious! My friends and I always come here for dine-in or takeout when we are craving chicken. I LOVE cheesling. Please try this flavor if you haven't yet! The other flavor we like is the Hot Mala wings. It's not spicy if you eat spice frequently.The service is nice and quick. Not much to say about it to be honest!The ambiance is chill, but somewhat lively. There are always booths filled with customers eating chicken. Good place to go with friends/fam, simple date, pretty much anything!

My go to place for Korean fried chicken! I've tried three bb.q chicken branches - Allston, Kendall Square and Lowell and Allston branch has the best flavor in my opinion. It also has the shortest wait.Both bone-in and boneless taste great and you can choose from a variety of sauce options. Other dishes are good and shareable as well.

Note: this review is for the food only! I have only ever gotten takeout or delivery from bbq, so I can't really speak to the ambiance for dining in at the restaurant, or the service here. This is hands-down my FAVORITE korean fried chicken spot in the area. Every time I've ordered (which had been several times now), the chicken is always crispy with the juiciest, most tender meat inside. BBQ chicken never misses! Here are some of my favorite flavors: Secret Sauce If you're Korean and looking for the classic 양념 flavor, this is it. A little sweet, a little tangy, a bit of heat, and a slight fruity flavor to balance out the spice. Honey Garlic This somehow always has THE crispiest texture, and strikes a perfect balance between sweet and savory. I always order this flavor and it has never let me down. Golden Original & Spicy Original A classic for a reason - always super light and crispy on the outside, and the meat is somehow juicier for these flavors. I've never experienced the breading getting soggy or un-crispy on the way to my place for delivery. If you want to try korean fried chicken, this place is it!

Update as of July 2023: I went to BBQ Chicken again 2 more times this past week and they continue to impress me. The quality and size of their chicken is excellent. The flavor is spot on and consistent with other times I've bought (which is very very many). They now have a machine right up front if you want to order take out on the spot. You can still call in or use food apps. Indoor dining is opened up again since Covid... been open for a long time. Update to parking situation: all the meters on Harvard st/ave? are taken away. You'll have to park elsewhere and walk over. Try Comm ave, perhaps in front of Herb Chambers BMW/Mini.

BBQ chicken is our go to for korean fried chicken. So many options for flavors and various entrees/side dishes. My favorite is the honey garlic! Great service and ambience.

I have ordered bb.q for so long but this is just unacceptable and poor quality. The rose ddeokbokki came in a smaller container (not its usual bb.q to-go bowl) and with Mexican cheese blend?? They didn't even have the decency to melt it....If you're Korean, you know we use Mozzarella cheese and bb.q has always done it right. This makes so sense at all. The chicken isn't fried correctly and undercooked.
