They also have a selection of ready to go meals and sides and beer. We ordered two of the cold sandwiches and they were both delicious. We also tried some of their smoked marrow bones for our dogs. Our dogs loved the bones. This place gets pretty busy so be prepared to wait. Otherwise, definitely worth the visit.

I had McKinnon's pizza today and I loved it. I've been going to McKinnon's for groceries and…read moresupermarket items, but didn't try the pizza until now. It reminded me of tasty New York City pizza, which is hard to find in much of New England. I lived in NYC and haven't found many places they have anything like it outside of NYC.

My husband and I stopped into Maine Meat on a whim and we are so glad we did! We picked up a bone…read morein ribeye steak, condensed truffles, chicken breast and their house made kilbesa. The steak was absolutely gorgeous and truly deserved an award. It had gorgeous marbling throughout and was massive in size. The only downside was it was a bit expensive BUT 1000% worth it. All of that being said the kilbesa was the best purchase. Absolutely out of this world amazing! We both agreed it was the best kilbesa we've ever had!! There are not enough words to describe the deliciousness of that kilbesa except if you enjoy kilbesa go try Maine Meat's!!! Lastly I'd like to add the staff was delightful. They were very cheerful and knew a lot about their products!

I just feel like I HAVE to leave a review of this Trader Joe's because I have received…read moreextraordinary customer service on multiple occasions when visiting. First - my roommate and I visited Trader Joe's right after moving to Portsmouth. The cashier looked at our IDs since we were buying wine, and when she found out that we had just moved to the area, she gave us a reusable bag as a welcome gift. We were so touched by this welcome and really appreciated the gesture as we had just arrived and were starting to settle in. Second, and most recently, my partner and I were picking up a couple of items on a Sunday night. We went to get in the checkout line and then remembered that we needed to grab one more thing. Just then, the bagging attendant told us "I'll open another lane for you guys" to which we responded that we needed to grab another thing. He told us it was not a problem and he'd be ready when we got back, and returned to bagging. We went, got our item, and upon our return to the checkout line, the attendant immediately opened up another lane. Although this may seem small, I was so appreciative that the attendant not only wanted to improve our experience initially, but cared enough to keep an eye on us while we picked up another item and opened up another lane for us as soon as we returned. I felt that it truly went above and beyond and I wish I remembered his name to give him a shoutout. I would be remiss if I concluded this review with no mention of the Trader Joe's food. Their frozen meals are amazing and all of their food is so high quality; I've never had a product that disappointed.

But the real standout was the food that Chloe prepares- in addition to a lobster roll and a yummy lobster dip, I ordered the "Pulled Steak" sandwich that comes with au jus that my brother-in-law recommended and when I gave my cousin a taste, her review was a simple " oh my God!" This was the second time I was there, and I am looking forward to going back again!

Incredibly friendly staff that sounded like they've been running the family business for decades, a bright and comfortable space, and an arcade machine! I highly recommend stopping by for a bite or to grab a snack to take home. My friends and I tried a significant sampling and will definitely be back. Meatball calzone - made fresh in the morning on their homemade bread, this isn't the thick crusty calzone you're thinking of. It's more like a long stick bread, packed with meatballs, sauce and cheese on the inside. They cut one into three for us, and served with a separate cup of marinara dipping sauce each! Lobster Tail pastry and cannoli: fantastic pastries. I've had many of each of these, and DeStefano's had some of the best. The lobster tail was light and incredibly flaky, the cannoli had some crunch without being hard or overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie also had chunks of butterscotch (?) and was perfectly cooked--I know saying perfectly cooked sounds crazy, but I don't think I've ever had another cookie that nailed the crispy/soft line so well. Can't wait to head back to Portsmouth so I can visit again!
