After owner Mark Romano won awards at his other restaurant for the best fried chicken in Boston, he decided to open up this joint to focus exclusively on the dish. His chicken is tender and crispy, and pairs well with his drink menu, which is an entire lineup of classic Tiki drinks, like the Mai Tai and the Painkiller. Guy and Hunter also loved the barbecue gumbo.
Highland Fried permanently closed its featured location on September 30, 2021. You can read about the closure here. You can still visit Highland Fried at its other location in Somerville.
Highland Fried was originally located at 1271 Cambridge St, Cambridge, MA, 02139.
Guy Fieri is grabbing Southern flavor without ever hittin' the South. In Cambridge, Mass., a funky joint fryin' up Nashville hot chicken and cookin' up gangster gumbo. A smokin' spot in Sparks, Nev., firing up wagyu brisket and wing nachos, and finally, in Juneau, Alaska, an Asian-Southern fusion house puttin' out smoked-brisket pho and honey-bourbon ribs.
