Slade's Bar & Grill

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

This is no longer an African American owned business and I no longer frequent it. It doesn't seem as appealing and last I checked the food had gone downhill.

Chose their catering service for an event. First time ever that we've had amazing catered food. Friend chicken, macaroni and cheese, greens, catfish, all were on point. If there was anything bad to say it's that we should have gotten hot sauce. Great food and not one complaint. All the food went! Great job Slades.

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.
