Master Critic Review

Kennedy Fish & Chicken 7.6
South Shore
A no-frills fish-and-chicken counter where wings are best used as a simple, reliable fried option rather than a sauce laboratory. It’s a practical neighborhood stop—order tight, keep it hot, and treat it like a fast takeout lane.
Must-Try Dishes: Buffalo Wings, Fish & Chicken Combo, Chicken Nuggets
