Popeye’s Chicken
I had FINALLY made my way over to the new Popeye’s Chicken at 645 Beacon Street behind the Pizzeria Uno’s near Fenway Park. Well, kind of behind Uno’s. More like behind and then down to the basement. Now, I’ve lived in the South, so I was more than beyond THRILLED that Popeye’s was coming. (Although I remember over 5 years ago, there used to be a Popeye’s at the Framingham Plaza rest area on the Mass Pike because every time I went out of town, I made sure to get me some 3-piece meal dealy). I digress…
I stopped by Popeye’s just for take out. I knew the place is small, the dining area would be crowded and dismal-feeling. It actually was not crowded at all. I had planned my surgical strike well as the Red Sox game was still going on.
Let me just say if you are a fan of KFC, then Popeye’s is another option of greasy, proprietary blend of herbs and spices fried chicken goodness as finger-licking as you can get. The biscuits SURPASS those of KFC’s as all you’re tasting is pure buttery crispness. The dirty rice is a nice side when you are sick of coleslaw, mac and cheese or mashed potatoes with gravy. My ONLY complaint (Popeye’s big-wigs…please hear me on this) is that you MUST have sweet tea on the beverage menu!!! It’s not a true Popeye’s meal without it!
