"Boston Market may be past its glory days as a giant national chain, as locations have been reduced to only a handful of states. But, you can still get classic Boston Market favorites in the frozen section of the grocery store. Their line of frozen dinners models in-store menu items. That's why we tasted nine frozen Boston Market dinners, ranking them according to taste, texture, cohesion, and stand-out ingredients."
"Boston Market used to make a delicious meatloaf in-house, but the meatloaf in this frozen meal was tough and flavorless. We were hoping a thick, rich gravy would soak into the meatloaf, soften its tough texture, and infuse it with flavor. But, alas, the thin gravy was as sad and insufficient as the meatloaf. The mashed potatoes were a watery mess, and no matter how much we tried to stir them after heating them in the microwave, they were still a pool of beige."
Boston Market offers a line of frozen dinners modeled on in-store menu items and sold in grocery stores. Nine frozen Boston Market dinners were tasted and ranked by taste, texture, cohesion, and stand-out ingredients. Several frozen meals performed well, but the meatloaf and mashed potatoes ranked last due to severe textural and flavor problems. The meatloaf was described as tough and flavorless, with a thin, insufficient gravy. The mashed potatoes became watery and pooled after microwaving, losing the expected creaminess. Many customers reported similar complaints, noting gluey or grainy mashed potatoes and meatloaf unlike the in-restaurant version.
