Modern Rotisserie

Tried this place after seeing their video on Phantom Gourmet and was pleasantly surprised. Got the half chicken meal with two sides, so I chose the mango habanero chicken, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. Real homestyle, comfort atmosphere that matches the food being served.
Chicken was juicy and tender, mashed potatoes and gravy was very tasty, and the mac & cheese was creamy, fresh and delicious.
Only gripes would have to be the price ($ 16 for this + a can of soda), and my chicken was flooded with the mango habanero sauce, which made it difficult to manage in the tray provided. A little less sauce would have made the meat stand out more as well. Overall a good experience.

I am a huge fan of rotisserie chicken so when walking through Newton looking for a place to grab lunch I just had to try this place. This place is pricier than the well known rotisserie chicken chain but you get what you paid for. The organic chicken is juicy and flavorful. Even the sides are an upscale version of what you might get at the other place. There are over a dozen sides to choose from. I got to try kale and brussel sprouts, and the country potato salad. Both were delicious. If you like spicy splurge on a side of the sticky mango jalapeño sauce, it was amazing!

I had the very good fortune to meet Chef and talk with her. Chef’s style is to find and make the eclectic– foods you may not consider that work together.
We enjoyed a great conversation about food styles, supplies (of food) and so on. They make everything fresh — nothing processed here as near as I can tell.
I devoured the black cherry chicken and wanted more!
This was one of the most awesome places I have ever eaten and when my travels bring me here again — this is where I’m going!

This place should be considered a serious step up from Boston Market, but with prices to match. The chicken, whether it be their traditional rotisserie style or their flavored daily styles, are always flavorful and ooooh-​so-​delicious. I will agree with others — sometimes the chicken can be a tad dry. it’s a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ shot.
Their gravy is also to die for! I end up getting it all over the various sides I order with my chicken plates. Some of the other sides, again, are hit-​or-​miss. I’d hoped to love their cornbread stuffing, instead I sorta thought Stove Top could possibly beat it.
So far, my favorite side has to be their habañero pasta salad — always great to warm the mouth and widen your eyes! LOL But there is consistency here.
Sister company to the New England Soup Factory which is connected directly to it.
My two smallish gripes — price is a tad high, and I wish I could order from Soup or Rotisserie and pay all at once versus ordering, paying, then ordering again and paying again.

Wanted to try some side dishes for possible Thanksgiving order; Staff not very accommodating in terms of trying foods. Ended up purchasing Vegetarian Plate with 3 items on it. Ordered carrots, brussels sprouts with kale and creamed spinach. Nothing wowed me: carrots ok and the best of the three, Brussel sprouts not good as the kale was very bitter; and creamed spinach a little too salty and just ok. Not sure how their chicken is but sides are not worth traveling for.

Someone once said this was the best chicken in the state. I tried a half chicken yesterday and was not blown away. I have also had their brussel sprouts/​kale side dish which was heavy on the oil and lacking on flavor… Back to the drawing board.

Great lemon brine chicken so tender and the side dishes are always changing so I try something new every time.

Unlike my older reviews I am going to keep this short.
My wife wanted rotisserie chicken. I did a quick research and came across Modern Rotisserie. I went inside and was immediately greater with the wonderful smells of the chicken and much more. Everyone one was friendly and helpful.
Not only did i order the chicken that my wife asked me for, but I also got a side of roasted potatoes as well as mashed potatoes and a chicken salad (but I can’t remember the name) the price for all these things, I feel was reasonable. When I got home the food was still warm and ready to eat. I think b that the chicken was maybe a little dry, but very tasty, the mashed potatoes were good but not great, and the roasted potatoes with ok onions had a strange flavoring (to me) but still pretty good. The chicken salad was very good. They had lots of stuff to choose from and I plan on returning sometime and trying more. I hope they are consistent because overall I enjoyed my food and I feel I won’t be alone in my thinking. And that’s my two cents.

Great place for a meal. I like getting a half chicken, brussel sprouts, and roasted beets. Service is quick, but seating is limited during lunch hour. Get it to go if you can.

Chicken was OK
Sides horrible-​roasted beets not cooked, hard and crunchy
Mashed potatoes very lumpy and got something that was not identifiable in them that really turned me off
Soup factory should be ashamed to be in the same space

I’ve been here about 10 times and have never had a bad meal. From the rotisserie chicken to the lasagna, everything is scratch made and it shows. The chicken is amazing (probably the best rotisserie i’ve ever had), the Cheez-​It Mac & Cheese is some of the best Mac & Cheese I’ve ever had, and the cornbread stuffing and mashed potatoes are excellent. The brown gravy is equally as good. The only complaint is the cost (a bit pricey), but sourcing your chickens locally, natural food and scratch making it comes with a cost and I’m ok with that. If they opened one of these in my town I’d be there 3 – 4 times a week. If you live or work in the area, go there and you won’t be disappointed.

Not my favorite. It’s like an upgraded form of Boston Market with fancier sides, but the food is not as good.
It comes out to $ 11.74 (with tax) for a double leg and thigh meal with two sides. The chicken is a little dry and for a place that boasts on rotisserie chicken, it’s not a must-​try. I hate how they do not allow me to try samples of the sides. Luckily, my friend got the creamed spinach first, and when I tried it, it was WAY too dense and fatty. I got the carrots, which had a soapy taste to them. They need to improve their food.

We stopped in for a late lunch this afternoon, after shopping at TJ Maxx and seeing the chicken logo on the door as we passed the place. I love a good chicken place and was excited that there was one i had not seen before.
The choices of sides was very diverse and exciting, from the normal comfort food sides, to some more gourmet options.
I had the chicken breast plate, with Boston baked beans and Cheezit Mac ‘n Cheese. my fiancé had the leg and thigh plate with the Mac ‘n Cheese and Mashed potatoes.
We both really enjoyed the juicy, fresh chicken, which fell off the bone and the tasty sides.
It was a nice, unexpected lunch, and we will definitely return.
2 people, a good deal of food and 2 sodas for $ 25.

After seeing this place on phantom gormet this morning we had to go! We were dying for the French dip sandwiches they had advertised as their Saturday special. We were very disappointed to arrive after a 30 minute drive to find out they had run out of said special well before lunch hour. We were informed by the very patient and kind staff member that we should arrive when they opened to enjoy the sandwich. I wish this was advertised. We ordered some of the famous chicken and it was very good. I’d love to go back and try that sandwich but we may choose a closer lunch spot in the future.

Great quality and tasty comfort food at a reasonable price. Many sides to choose from and the chicken was excellent.

Enjoyed my meal here. Got the chicken breast plate with two sides — mac-​n– cheese and kale with brussel sprouts. It’s definitely a better version of Boston Market and a good spot for a casual meal out. The chicken was juicy and didn’t need any sauce — with the tasty charcoal skin on it. I did try the mango-​habenero sauce which was swet but had a kick at the end. The mac-​n-​cheese was creamy but try the jalapeño version too. The kale and brussel sprouts were very lemony — it made me a fan of kale which I don’t generally like. Definitely worth trying for a quick, casual meal.

I had lunch here with some colleagues. We were all impressed. It reminded us of a nicer Boston Market with a slightly higher quality of chicken and sides. I had a pudding cup like homemade desert that I am sure will bring me back to the modern rotisserie just for that.
The chicken was roasted perfectly and juicy with good tasting seasonings. It was reasonably priced for a fast food type place. Counter service employees were nice and the entire experience was good. Looking forward to going back.

The food is so good at this restaurant, I had to create a Unilocal page for them just so I can write a review and let everyone else know how good it is.
Modern Rotisserie is the sister restaurant of New England Soup Factory. I heard about this restaurant on Phantom Gourmet yesterday morning and before the segment was over, I was already searching for the directions of how to get there. The menu selection and the quality of the food looked so invited that I just had to check it out for myself.
I made the 30 minute drive from East Boston to Newton and I was so glad that I did. I was NOT disappointed. I had the rotisserie chicken leg and thigh (cooked perfectly with a carmelization on the skin that is finger-​licking good) with the two sides of baked macaroni and cheese with a crushed Cheez-​It crust (so good that your eyes automatically roll in the back of your head) and the cole slaw (just the right amount of creamy and crunchy). My boyfriend had the Saturday special of Roast Beef sandwich (so tender that it melted in your mouth) with the two sides of grits (with short ribs and cheese mixed which was a creamy heavenly surprise) and southern succotash (just perfect). The food was seasoned so perfectly that you didn’t need to add anything to it.
The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly and always there to make sure that the seating area was cleaned and ready for the next customer. On top of this, the owner is so friendly with a warm personality. It’s like talking to an old friend. She even came over to ask how everything was. There was not enough adjectives to describe how good everything tasted.
We can’t wait to go back and try something else on the menu. There are so many different sides that it’s so hard to just choose two. The portions are so big that you will definitely leave full and satisfied. They also have homemade desserts if you happen to have room left.
If I had to criticize one thing, I guess it would be that I wished that there was a bigger dining room and I didn’t notice a bathroom on the premises. Other than that, I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
