Chicken & The Pig opens restaurant at MarketStreet Lynnfield
Lynnfield, MA The popular North Shore based food truck, Chicken & The Pig, which has won over tens of thousands of guests over the past year for its cult worthy hand breaded chicken cutlet sandwiches, specialty gourmet hot dogs and mouth-watering sides, has opened its first-ever brick and mortar restaurant at MarketStreet Lynnfield.
The new fast-casual restaurant, owned and operated by Chicken & The Pig chef & founder and local resident, Guy Ciolfi, features some of his signature favorites on the opening menu including The Bird Is The Word with house sauce and homemade pickles as well as some other variations of Ciolfi’s famous gourmet chicken sandwiches such as the Sweet Heat with honey-chipotle sauce, tomato and lettuce and The Greek with feta cheese, lettuce, tomato and homemade Greek dressing. Gourmet specialty hot dogs are a quarter pound each and grilled to perfection with specialties including The Czar Dog wrapped in bacon and topped with Russian slaw, and the German Dog with brew pub style mustard, sauerkraut and cheddar cheese. Just as Ciolfi has done since debuting his food truck in June of last year (2021), all of Chicken & The Pig’s chicken cutlet sandwiches and gourmet hot dogs are served on signature grilled buttered brioche rolls.
The restaurant’s menu also features sides such a Truffle Parmesan Waffle Fries tossed with fresh rosemary, parmesan cheese and truffle oil and Bacon on a Stick – three pieces of thick cut bacon glazed with brown sugar & cayenne, as well as some amazing Salad options. For Dessert, enjoy some Soft Serve Vanilla Ice Cream, Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies and more! Guests will be able to wash all that goodness down with one of the restaurant’s Milk Shakes, locally brewed craft beers or as Ciolfi says, “a good ‘ol ice cold can of PBR.”
Chicken & The Pig debuts in a vibrant new space located next to Paper Source at MarketStreet Lynnfield with a design accented by reclaimed wood, concrete countertops and beautiful cast iron throughout. The new restaurant also features seating inside and out with several booths and countertop seats.

Reimagining retail for the downtown - by Carol Todreas
