Retro Review (1/10/26) Poppabox was around forever (11 years) but its' sudden closure gave way to Downtowner Delicatessen Cafe. An under-the-radar soft opening allowed me to try them out, just before 6 PM. I was the only paying customer, and I ordered online. First impressions? Their name is misspelled in their logo (still not fixed, 6 months later) and they don't know how to cook fried chicken. Not a great start. Affordably priced ($9.54 with fries and a soda) the Crunch Fried Chicken (8 nuggets) was cooked to death, dry & chewy like an old boot. F Fries were better... nicely seasoned, plentiful and well done. B- Six Springrolls were downright cheap (only $3.99) yet chock full of (hot) filling and a nice dipping sauce on the side. One was (still) frozen however, so... only a C+. Super clean inside with cool music (@alessir0se, @maisykay) and a broad menu for such a small space. Close proximity to @GWtweets & @WorldBankGroup warrants a 2nd chance, but the kitchen needs to pay (better) attention.
Grade: D+ (Really bad chicken)
