Boston Market - Dallas (Mockingbird & Abrams)

Went to Boston Market at Abrams and Mockingbird today at the suggestion of a coworker friend. She wanted something different and decided Boston Market was the choice of difference. I have not been to a Boston Market in at least 3-5 years. It's just not a place that I felt like I had to have on a more-often basis.

Today they had a two-piece chicken and three-quarter ribs meal. Me being the barbecue 'king', it was an easy choice for me to pick this and compare with other barbecue ribs I've had. So, the picture is of this meal.

If you take a close look at the photo, everything looks fairly appealing. I mean you can't really screw up corn, mashed potatoes, sweet corn bread and even baked/rotisserie chicken. However, you can try to mask sub-par ribs by covering them in barbecue sauce.

And that's basically what Boston Market did. These ribs are essentially the same ribs you see in a grocery store deli. You know the kind that you either order hot at the counter or they have a 'cold' version that all you do is set your oven to 350 degrees and put the ribs in on a baking sheet for 20 minutes or until hot.

Yeah, those kind of ribs. Needless to say that I was NOT impressed.

Other than that, I liked everything else. I guess my expectations for the ribs was too high. Although I do believe their chicken is overpriced. I mean I really can get the same roasted chicken from the same grocery store deli!

Now that I know, I will not return to Boston Market, ever, because I can get the same foods from the grocery store and probably feed a family of four at the same cost as the one meal from Boston Market.

Frost Bite Creamery - Dallas (Lower Greenville)

The family went to eat at Snuffer's today. My oldest said that she has previously been to the Frost Bite Creamery across the street and that it was pretty good. So we decided to cross the street and give it a try.

What you see is 'The Give Me A Break' dessert. It was pretty darn good. It was a little on the pricier side for ice cream but I think it was worth it for a first-time experience.

That's my take. Would I go back? Sure but not too often because I'm not made of money. ;-)

Snuffer's - Dallas (Lower Greenville)

Took advantage of Snuffer's $5 Classic Burger/Cheeseburger Tuesdays. I believe you save $2.00 off the regular price of these two burgers. I've always liked Snuffer's burgers and most definitely their loaded cheddar cheese fries. YUM! YUM! If you are ever needing your burger fix and are near a Snuffer's, it's a good deal. Just know that the price does not apply to their specialty burgers. Sometimes you just can't go wrong with a basic burger or cheeseburger...and a fully loaded regular order of cheddar fries with bacon and chives to round out the meal!
