The Coop Wings & BBQ - Westborough

Got takeout and it was super quick. What we got: The Jamaican sandwich, Brisket Dinner w/Mac and cheese & cornbread, cheesy fries, and fried pickles. What we loved: very delicious. My partner said The Jamaican is the best chicken sandwich he ever had (we are in our 30s and love trying restaurant food, so there's been a lot of chicken sandwiches) and it was huge. Everything tasted amazing and the regular fries were great, along with the fried pickles. You get a ton of brisket and I was full halfway through the dinner, so even though it's fatty, you get a ton and there's still a lot of meat to eat there. Cornbread was great. What we didn't like: The cheesy fries are made with real melted cheese and not nacho/liquid cheese. They come in a container where they're packed tightly. They don't just pull apart, you just kinda gotta take a fork to them. I'm not a fan of this kind of cheesy fries, but that is a personal preference. The brisket was extremely oily and very fatty.

My mom and I were so excited to try one of the newest restaurants in Westborough, The Coop, because of the fabulous Instagram photos and the delicious sounding menu, but we were nothing close to satisfied. We ordered the fry daddy and the chips and dip because we are big fans of wings. Each portion came with only 3 wings each for around $12 . With tip in total we spent $30 on 6 wings… the chicken was so dry and chewy with a ton of fat. We also were missing some of our condiments such as the sour cream for our chips and dip loaded wings. If you are planning on getting any good wings in Westborough with good portions and prices JP’s and the Central House is where it’s at.

I live a couple blocks away and have been to the The Coop 5-6 times since it opened last year. I find it a great place to grab a quick snack or beer down town and will continue to stop by. The BBQ is respectable with prices in line with the other restaurants in town. The ribs and chicken are fine; I haven't tried the pulled pork or brisket yet, but their reputation is town is very good. For such a tiny place, they also have a great selection of local craft brews both on tap and in the can. I generally grab the table right up against "the bar" so service is good; I just turn my head and ask for something and someone passes it to me.
