Boston Market was one of my first choice in fast food for years and I was disappointed when they went out of business. Then I stumbled onto the last one standing. The entire team provided great customer service and the food was not lacking. Continue to raise the bar!

After a rigorous workout, I visited this Boston Market on Thanksgiving Day! Known for its comfort food, Boston Market particularly used to be my go-to for Thanksgiving dinner during a piece of my time in the military which it serves on the menu the day of. Via Google, I found this location in Melrose Park being the nearest to me at the time while in Broadview for my workout. Once I entered the location, I stood in an assembly style of a line which moved at a very acceptable pace! Being that I am a vegetarian, I had my mind on ordering nothing but their sides as I overlooked while in line waiting for my turn to order. The sides I ended up choosing were a regular sized macaroni & cheese, dressing, mashed potatoes with gravy, and corn! As the employee neared the register filling the containers with each of my sides, I could not take my eyes off of the pies near the register, which were sliced and in a container. I thought to myself, a Thanksgiving meal is just not complete without pie, so I ended up grabbing a slice of apple pie to go with my four sides. Even though I took my order to go, I took notice of the number of tables and seats available inside of the dine-in area inside of this casual-style of a restaurant. Now as for my food, the macaroni and cheese was the first of the sides I started off with, which I must say was my favorite. It tasted delightful! Out of the four sides I chose, the dressing was the side I had high expectations of, but it did not disappoint! I enjoyed it despite my desire to have it with cranberries which in my opinion makes it taste just right. I questioned the corn while in line once I locked eyes on it because its look was not appeasing, nor did it look like typical corn. However, once I tasted it, it ended up tasting better than I imagined it would. And lastly, the mashed potatoes! Out of the other sides, they were my least favorite, but not bad! I felt that it was missing something! Maybe salt, I do not know because they did not have a taste that would make my mouth salivate for more in-between bites; or in better words devour it in one sitting, tehehe. Being that I had a good experience, I am very well open to re-visiting this Boston Market location again whether it be on Thanksgiving Day, or any other day. And as Google recommended this location to me, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all. Atmosphere: 4 | Service: 5 | Food: 4 ~ You Are Your Choices. ~ Thomas G
