🍽️ I visited Not Your Average Joe’s in Peabody at the North Shore Mall this past weekend 🌟. From what I’ve heard, this place was a total high school hangout hotspot 🏫🍹. So, I was super excited to see what all the buzz 🐝 was about at this beloved chain.

To kick things off, we tried some of their mocktails 🍹 - a perfect choice for anyone doing Dry January! And let’s talk about their table side focaccia bread with olive oil 🥖🫒 - simply divine!

For starters, we had their whipped feta dip 🧀. It was creamy, reminiscent of tzatziki sauce, and served with marinated garbanzo beans, sesame crisps, cucumbers, and warm house pita chips 🥙 - a solid 7/10.

Next up, Buffalo Chicken Caribbean Tenders 🍗. These hand-breaded beauties were tossed in a mango-buffalo BBQ sauce and served with pineapple-jalapeño salsa and blue cheese dressing. Not too spicy, but a tender lover’s dream - 7/10.

But the star of the appetizers? The Coconut Shrimp 🍤. The tangy sauce was a hit - this dish deserves a permanent spot on the menu! 9/10 for sure.

Moving on to mains, we had their Chicken Poblano Enchiladas 🌯, Bacon Bleu Burger 🍔, and Mustard-Crusted Chicken 🍗. The enchiladas 7/10 and burger, both specials, were delicious, but my top pick? The Bacon Bleu Burger - an 8/10 thanks to the perfect pairing of bleu cheese. And those sweet potato fries 🍟? Cooked to perfection. The mustard-crusted chicken, served with mashed potatoes and green beans, was a classic but maybe just lacked in flavor - 6/10.

For dessert 🍰, we went all out! The “Peanut Butter Thing” 🥜🍫 was a colossal treat - a peanut butter and chocolate chunk vanilla ice cream pie slice, rolled in Oreo crumbs, topped with whipped cream, and drizzled with hot chocolate and caramel sauces - a heavenly 9/10. And the donuts in a bag 🍩, served with caramel sauce and apple slices, were great too, although I wished for a bit more cinnamon sugar - 8/10.

Overall, Not Your Average Joe’s delivered a fantastic experience! With their extensive menu, you’re sure to find something tantalizing 😋.
