Ok, here are two of my favorite things that go together like peanut butter and jelly. Pops Family Restaurant and a Joseph Foran Post Prom Fundraiser -- win/win.
After years of going to the spot on New Haven Avenue for breakfast, it's now just a stone's throw away to head to their new location at 134 Old Gate Lane. If you haven't been to the new location; what are you waiting for? It's a beautiful spot that's bright, comfy and modern with a kind of cottage seaside vibe. It's also much, much larger than the old space.
There is something really special about Pops. It's a family restaurant. Each time I go, I'm reminded of that in subtle ways. The service is friendly and efficient and it doesn't matter if you're there at 5am on a Monday morning or 8:30pm on a Sunday night.
It's the kind of place where you can always find something on the menu that will satisfy your cravings. From omeletts, to french toast and eggs benedict, pancakes and french toast, they will absolutely satisfy everyone at the table. A friend of mine loves to get grits and turkey sausage. I love eggs so for me it's just a matter of deciding on how to get them, but they're always cooked exactly they way I ask.
In addition to a fabulous breakfast, they have salads, sandwiches and soups, panini's and wraps, burgers and clubs (cold and open-face). The reuben sandwich can really hit the spot and it comes with fries and cole slaw. Over the years I've had salads, wraps, soups and way too many breakfasts to count. The chicken quesadilla appetizer is big enough for a lighter entrée and their portions are good.
On Tuesday, February 25th the Foran Post Prom Committee will be hosting a fundraiser at Pop's. It's an ALL DAY event and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Foran Post Prom. *The Post Prom is an important event that keeps the junior students safe and engaged following the prom. Without the support of the entire community this event cannot be successful. Please support the Post Prom and help keep our community safe for our children by coming out to dine on the 25th. Please mention Foran Post Prom when you get your check.
