The Puritan history has a very deep and storied tradition. From its opening in 1917, the hard work and caring of the Pappas and Canotas families have lent a tremendous amount of pride to the Puritan name. "Chicken tenders" actually originated at the Puritan and to this day are still the most requested dish on the menu! As well, the boneless breast of chicken with our famous special sauce (a creation of Charlie Pappas) is still the most asked about recipe on the menu.
