Boston Market

"I went to there on Essex St, Lodi, NJ before they changed over to new management. A few times the corn was like biting into raw corn not cooked. The woman who worked there was so nice and willing to check the corn. Next time the corn was better and actually cooked. Now recently I went back this week in April and the corn was worse this time and to make it worse under this new management the chicken was way over cooked. It was burnt on the skin part and inside when I bit into the tiny drumstick it was over cooked and dry same with the thigh. The new person serving me was nice also but the other woman before the new management was more of a people person and very nice. Unfortunately this new one didn't pay attention to how long those chickens were cooking and to how little the corn was cooked. I didn't want to travel all the way back to show her this time. BTW I got the cut potatoes slices not mashed. At least this time the payment terminal for the charge card works. Though she did ask me if I had cash instead of using the card I said no I don't does the terminal work? I used the terminal. I won't be going back unless I have no other choice. EDIT (9/20/23)I recently went back when the new management is now not so new and see a big difference with the corn now. It is cooked just right now. Sometimes the chicken is a little over cooked but I see an improvement with that too. Thank you for that."

"Spent $33 on a family meal for 3, and it was a waste of money. The chicken was dry and no flavor in the Mac n cheese + mashed potatoes. It is under new management, however the previous management was much better! Mashed potatoes and gravy tasted like cardboard. Mac n cheese had no flavor despite it being cheesy. No idea how they messed the usual Boston market formula! Smh"

"I live in Florida and the Boston market by my house close down. Currently visiting family up here and saw a Boston Market under new management. I was guessing that they would have fixed whatever pass issues they had. I WAS WRONG. The food was lacking in salt. The cheese sauce for the Mac and cheese tasted like water. Chicken was bland. Only thing that still tasted good was the cornbread and gravy (kinda). I know they just got new management but they should do like the one from my hometown and just shut it down."

"The servings are much smaller. The chicken was tough and chewy. The sweet potatoes were okay for commercial ones and let’s talk the spinach I kept pulling out these gray hairs in the spinach. I tried to give them the benefit of doubt that maybe it’s from the spinach itself. Anyway I didn’t eat it."

"First time I go to a Boston market that does not taste like a Boston market. I would never come here again. If I can put 0 stars I would. Mac & cheese was watery, did not taste like it had any cheese at all. The chicken was tough inside & out. The flavor of both the chicken and Mac was so bad I threw it out. The mashed potatoes taste just like butter & the soda was flat. They did not even had a top for the cup. Brownie was burnt & now they’re prices are going up.. $30 wasted on garbage.. The one in Clifton nj is so delicious I never had an issue with them. I suggest u guys go over there & see the difference in taste.. this is a disgrace to Boston market. You guys are going to give a bad reputation to the franchise."
