| - Boston Market really gave my roommate and I one easy, satisfying Thanksgiving tonight! I am so glad they were open and the food was really that good!
I do feel bad in a way that the employees here had to work on Thanksgiving but there were 6 of them behind the counter and they were all contributing something to help each customer. They were fairly busy as that was kind of expected, I mean, it was Thanksgiving after all and in today's time (and preparing for Black Friday) more people are looking for the "easy" route in making Thanksgiving. This Boston Market being open until 7pm on Thanksgiving helped us with that and had a positive impact as well.
My roommate and I have been very busy with trying to clean up, fix and prepare her parents house and we have been working on this for 6 months and meanwhile she had to study for a test. Pretty much, cooking for us on Thanksgiving was going to be difficult. We didn't have time and I couldn't prepare all of that myself. So, I looked around online and saw that not only Boston Market was open on Thanksgiving but that they had several options in making an entire Thanksgiving! Well, I won't list all the options (trust me when I say this, there were SEVERAL from feeding yourself to feeding 12 people for $119.99 with multiple options!) but I looked over their menu choices and saw the feast for 3 at $34.99. This was quite the deal in our opinions. This meal deal included 1 1/2 rotisserie chickens (we are not big fans with turkey but if chicken is available next to turkey, we would chose chicken pretty much every time so we chose chicken). 3 large side dishes, 3 cornbread muffins and your choice of either a whole apple or whole pumpkin pie. We chose pumpkin. A nice combination for all of us because we were sharing this with my roommates parents for a total of 4 people but her parents do not usually have a big appetite. As a gift to my roommate and all her hard work, I bought this for her parents and us.
The food was excellent. Now, I really mean the food was good because Boston Market was facing one of their BIGGEST critics and that would be my roommate's mom. She is one of the pickiest, particular and judgmental eaters I have ever met! Usually everything is either "too salty" or "too sweet". Well, when she tried this chicken, vegetable stuffing, mashed potatoes and green beans, not one complaint. Not one negative comment or dislike and we even received a "It's good" from her and I was SO happy! That was the greatest Thanksgiving gift I could have received!
Overall, we are definitely coming back to this Boston Market. It is close to where and what we need. The quantity, quality and price are all decent here for what you receive. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something else on the menu. Maybe their meatloaf or ribs?
Their menu is worth a look and a try.
