Poppa B's

Radiating Dixieland comfort, the Mattapan storefront wins raves for a crackling good fried chicken that pairs a complex, herb-heavy batter with juicy dark meat. Don't limit yourself to dinner, though. The rib-sticking breakfasts are legendary: smothered pork chops, homemade biscuits, grits, and tender waffles (served with syrup or, in true soul food style, with the aforementioned chicken).
