Boston Market

It's May 2023 and we are witnessing the end of an era for so many of our favorite retail stores and restaurants...this is just the beginning folks. Boston Market is no different. I was actually surprised to stumble upon a Boston Market that was actually still in business. Well...this location is still open...but it is surely showing signs that it has jumped the shark. I pulled in to get some dinner for Sunday evening. Immediately noticed no one in the drive-thru, and no cars parked. I thought it was closed. I pull up to the drive thru window and there is a sign that is listing all of the items they don't have. It was pretty much 50 percent of the menu. I ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes for my meal. I wanted Mac and cheese but they were out of that too so I ordered double mashed potatoes. This meal was $15...and they couldn't even be bothered to heat up my roll that came with it...felt like they just pulled it out of the fridge and stuck it in my bag. The dinner was very yummy though. Boston Market used to be one of my favorite chains when it was in its prime. I am not of fan of paying $15 for a small meatloaf meal with no drink included and a cold bread roll...so to me its not worth it anymore...prices are only headed up, and our supply chain getting squeezed tighter. Sadly like so many restaurants post covid and in our apocalyptic inflation fested economy...I don't see them being around too much longer.

When I think of Boston market, I usually think of Thanksgiving food. However, to my surprise there was no turkey sold here! My fault for not eating here often enough and knowing! However, the ribs and rotisserie chicken were delicious so I would come back for that. I got my food relatively quick to-go and the folks here were friendly.
