Boston Fish Supreme, known by most Jackson State University students as just Boston’s, seems to be a favorite among students.
With its close location, not even a mile down the road from campus, Boston’s is a go-to spot for students hit with late night cravings.
Although it is very popular, it is hard to ignore the condition the little restaurant is in.
The place is in desperate need of updating and it is clear that the building has been through some tough times. It is painted a flashy gold and blue and the inside is doesn’t look much better with an old air conditioning system and various menus taped to the wall and glass.
When walking through the door, the first thing you see is a deep freezer and an ordering window that resembles an old bank teller’s station and a few chairs that are probably already taken by other customers. The space is so limited inside the cramped restaurant that the place always appears packed. There is only room for about ten customers to fit comfortably.
Ordering is sometimes a hassle because you have to deal with the fact that the same person who takes the orders gives out the food. This system can be time consuming, leading to long waits for food, confusion, and mix-ups.
From the looks of the restaurant, some would question the quality of the food there, but despite its appearance, Boston’s has made a name for itself in the community.
The food really speaks for itself. As the name says, Boston Fish Supreme is a great place to go for good fish. It is by far the best thing on the menu and is really what the place is known for.
Other popular things on the menu are their wings and chicken tenders. The chicken tenders are very good and they deserve the hype that they receive. They have become one of my favorites on the menu.
Some people really love the wings, but they are decent at best. The sauces they have for the wings are amazing, my favorite being the sweet mild sauce. It is always recommended that when ordering fries to ask for “sauce on fries”, meaning adding heaps of wing sauce to the fries for added flavor.
There are only three drink choices in the restaurant: peach, lemonade, and fruit punch, so don’t expect to order your favorite soda.
Going to Boston’s is really an experience in itself. The building is shady and there is little room for sitting, but the food is good and keeps people coming back for more. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about trying it out. Despite the cons, Boston’s makes up for it with good food that won’t disappoint.
