Best damn chicken in the state!

In the past we've mentioned all of the neighborhood's few restaurants. We've even hyped the (still) yet to be opened U and I Café. Well even though the café is still yet to be sampled, all of our patient waiting has paid off. Our neighborhood finally has it's own full restaurant. Not just a lunch and diner Asian food place, but a full fledged 3 square family restaurant.

Saturday we made our first visit to the recently opened Pops Family Café. We already knew that the atmosphere would be to our liking, as we had been to the building's former occupant, Café Nikita. We also knew that we would at least find a decent meal there as we had read all of the reviews of the (then yet to be opened) place in the neighborhood and city papers. But we still came away amazed. Heather had just the sort of patty melt that we used to have to travel great distances for. David had a tasty chicken sandwich which he honestly feel warrants the famous Aretha Franklin quote. On top of it all, we were served by some of the best staff we've seen since Bonnie's Café (they'd probably be better if they'd had Bonnie's years of experience).

When we woke up Sunday morning, we were tempted to go back for breakfast. But a good thing might be best if rationed. Perhaps we'll do breakfast there today or Tuesday instead.
