"Y 'know how Aunt Bee made big Sunday dinners for Sheriff Andy Taylor and his boy Opie? Still watching reruns on MeTV, I think The Andy Griffith Show shaped my expectations of what a home cooked meal should be like. I 've never been to Patatas in Emeryville, but their Whole Roasted Chicken has impressed me enough that during the depths of this pandemic, it 's become one of my go to 's for appetizing poultry with picnic type fixings on the side. Upon delivery, it 's never failed Jamie W. and me when it comes to tender meat under a nicely crisped skin. Even the breast meat has been nicely brined to make it moist (photo: The $44.50 Family Meal is the way to go if you 're looking for a full fledged feast with a whole chicken, three pints of sides, and two sauces. We chose the Black Beans mixed with red onion, chilis, and oregano (photo: the Mixed Cabbage Slaw with a kick of jalapeño (photo: and most impressive, the No Mayo Potato Salad. It was mixed with celery, scallions, and lemon dressing (photo: For the sauces, we picked the Salsa Verde (photo: and the Herb Aioli (photo: both quite tasty on their own. If you 're not as hungry, you can get the whole chicken a la carte for $19 and add sides at $6.90 each with the black beans a dollar less. They also prepare plates and bowls for more human size appetites, but we 're all about the leftovers since we spread out our food over 2 3 meals. My five star rating was no accident, and I think Aunt Bee would approve, too. FOOD 5 stars...if you 're looking for first rate roast chicken and no mayo potato salad AMBIANCE n/a...don 't know but I 'll find out soon SERVICE 5 stars...very nicely packaged, preparation is fast TOTAL 5 stars...have a surefire picnic at home RELATED Exploring Emeryville?
