Underdog Hot Chicken

By far my favorite place to order from! Every time I order I swear I'm impressed by the first bite. I'm like, no way it's as good as I remember, and I'm right, because it's better!! Highly recommend.

Really good fried chicken sandwich spot in Allston. I was skeptical when I walked in because it was so empty. We got the chicken sandwich-mild combo with cajun fries. My cousin got their bowl with mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, and gravy. If you like the one from kfc, you'll like this. I was surprised the chicken stayed crispy even in the gravy. I love fried chicken sandwiches and this one was an 8/10. I love that they give you gloves to eat the sandwich.

Came here after a Boston college football game and glad this was our stop. I'm obviously not familiar with the area but high yelp reviews can never let you down. The place is cute. It was loud I feel like there was a party upstairs or something the bass was vibrating lol. It was kind of busy so I did have a bit of a wait for my food. The chicken was seasoned well , had a lot of flavor. The sauce on the side was good also ! I do wish I got a different side to try than fries but this place is solid.

Flavors - 4/5Textures - 4.5/5Presentation - 4/5Value for Money - 4.2/5Would return? Yes First impressions? This sandwich is no joke--it's hefty and it slaps just by the looks of it. I opted for their fried chicken sandwich at a Medium heat level. Classic Nashville hot chicken flavors shine through, though the Medium heat level leaned towards the mild side. The chicken itself was crispy, with a thin batter that held its ground, though it verged on the dry side.The size of the sandwich throws off the proportions, making it a bit tricky to get that perfect bite with everything. The pickles are the secret sauce here--they tie it all together beautifully.

Very clean and open inside. We ordered online and picked up inside, staff was very friendly and efficient. We ordered one combo with 2 pieces (medium spicy, it was spicier than most places' medium level spice) and it comes with a side, we went with Mac and cheese. The second combo was chicken tender wrap with Mac and cheese. The chicken wasn't dry, right crisp, came with coleslaw inside the wrap, if you don't want something heavy, the wrap is a good balance with something fried. The Mac and cheese was ok, nothing too special or flavorful, might try the fried pickles or Cajun fries next time instead.

Came back for the hot chicken sandwich and it's delicious! Batter is so light and crispy and super juicy. Though I got hot, it's barely anything. One of the best fried chicken sandwiches for sure As for the sides, would pass on them... the potato salad was so overwhelmingly tasting of corn and the fried pickles were not fried enough or with any flavor

Underdog was not really packed on Monday evening as it seemed like more people ordered take-out or delivery. I got the combo#1 with French fries and got medium as the spice level. I did not wait too long before it was ready. The sandwich was spicy, but not to the point where it was overwhelming. The fries were not bad, although I wish it tasted slightly less oily. I am glad they provided gloves as the process of eating this sandwich was really messy. The chicken tenders are breaded nicely, and each bite is quite crispy. The tenders are decently sized, so you get quite a bit of meat in each bite. The kaleslaw was not overwhelming and went well with the sandwich. I think they add a bit too many pickles to this sandwich, but if you are a fan of them, then you are in for a treat. I wish the bun was better quality as it falls apart way too fast while eating. Overall, I think it is alright if you want a decent chicken sandwich as it leaves me satisfied, but it is hard to justify its increasing prices so I would not come back that often.

My favorite hot chicken sandwich ever!!! Chicken is sooo tender/juicy and flavorful. I've probably been here nearly 10 times and only once has the chicken been not perfect. Buns are delicious, and the kale slaw is so refreshing. Their sauce is also amazing (some kind of gochujang aioli maybe?) and perfectly brings everything together. I usually go for the medium spice for the sandwich and then mild if I'm getting just the fried chicken itself (which is also delicious but needs the dipping sauce for enough flavor). Sides - I usually get the kale slaw to balance out the heavy fried food. Have also had the fried pickles and the Cajun fries which are both delicioussss. Please come here if u love fried chicken!!! You will not regret it.

The chicken is 5/5. It's super crispy on the outside and super juicy and tender on the inside. Every time. The mild has ok kick and underdog is very spicy but still tons of flavor. The French fries are always crispy and tasty too. The Mac and cheese is meh. Not a lot of flavor. I'd skip that.

Excellent chicken ... eaten there few times and consistently moist, fresh. Have multiple heat ranges to choose from... I started at medium and now mild and still plenty heat. Tried the fried Oreos and they were good, but should use the double stuff ones as more cream needed in fried cookie...Staff a well oiled machine as tons of Uber eats or other delivery pickups non stop... prices reasonable too ... I wish this place was around when I was a college person in area ...
