Poppa B's: moving, not gone

Posted by Devra First September 16, 2009 11:31 AM

Take a break to let your arteries clear. Soul food restaurant Poppa B's, which looked as though it might be closed, is simply in the process of relocating.

The new spot will be on Washington Street near Codman Square, reports owner Boyce Slayman. It's a smaller restaurant, and it will now be takeout and catering only. The original Poppa B's was a great gathering spot, and that will be missed. But at least we'll still be able to get our fried chicken fix. The new restaurant should be open in early to mid-November after renovations.

  1. I frequented Poppa B's for breakfast after church on Sunday mornings. The only problem was that spaces for parking were minimal, but other than that the food was great.

  1. Thank you for tracking down this wonderful news! My favorite fried chicken in town. Too bad about the chicken and waffles, which I would be surprised to see making the transition to a takeout format. Still, better this than gone!
