Day #6: Boardwalk BBQ 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken and Macaroni & Cheese



Day #6 and I was very hungry. I had just left my synagogue for my Intro to Judaism class, and I had skipped breakfast earlier on this particular day. It was a Sunday afternoon, so I figured some options I have been wanting to try would be out thanks to the longer lines. I knew I needed to make a plan of action since even finding a parking spot on the premises proved challenging, but I managed to make it in right by the Soaked City Water Park

I was craving meat and felt really insatiable at this point, so I decided to give "The Boardwalk BBQ" another chance. I hoped that since it was the weekend there would probably be more demand, and a better chance of a generous portion with all the tourists in town. This assumption proved to be accurate later. 

I waited in line today for a little more than 30 minutes, but after smelling all the delicious chickens roasting and rotating round and round in the oven I knew I had to try one. I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie-style chicken that is rubbed with poultry spices and lemon slices as well as a side of macaroni & cheese, and a cornbread muffin. I wasn't sure at first if I made a mistake since I saw that the Mac & Cheese bowls were such generous portions, but I knew to satisfy my need for protein I would want the larger portion of chicken instead of macaroni. 

As I was handed my plate I was very grateful to see that the server today honored the same generous portion sizes that had been promised in the YouTube videos I watched about the location. My plate was heavy, and looked scrumptious. I happily handed over my meal pass card so I could "pay" for my food, as well as my usual Boysenberry Punch. I went outside to grab my utensils and napkins, but I was pleasantly surprised to see they had restocked the Boysenberry BBQ Sauce today.

If you ever get a chance to come here I highly recommend the 1/2 rotisserie chicken dipped in Boysenberry BBQ sauce. The meat was already flavorful and juicy on its own, but with the Boysenberry BBQ sauce it made the meat tangy, flavorful, and added just the right amount of sweetness. I thought it was going to almost taste like cranberry sauce, but I was pleasantly wrong since it tasted like a true BBQ. The macaroni and cheese was moist, flavorful, and surprisingly had a small kick to it. This was the perfect side dish to the chicken, and even though it was a hefty portion of food I was able to finish the whole plate.

This dish was just as delicious the smoked turkey leg I boasted so much about on Day #1, so I would have to give it a 9/10 as well. The meal would have been $19.50 without the pass, so along with the drink I saved a total of $25. 


*I was so hungry on this particular day that I forgot to take a picture of the food, so I am including pictures of the chicken, and macaroni & cheese separately.
