    "I know a man who works the night shift He's lucky to get a job and some pay" (The Who) Our first visit to I Know a Guy Deli was a very positive experience. Their menu is pretty deep, with breakfast sandwiches, paninis, wings, soups, salads, and a ton of sandwich options. We were intrigued with their special sandwich menu. It was a Police vs. Fire Department kind of a thing with each of the two public services represented by two sandwiches. I went with a "Fire Marshall Tim" - a great tasting combination opf a chicken cutlet, honey ham, cheese and mustard on a hard roll. It was a big sandwich and was very reasonably priced at $12. The store's interior is pretty roomy and there are a lot of sitting to choose from. If you eat your food here (like we did) you won't feel cramped or crowded at all. Service was nice and friendly. Oh. and they have a super-cool logo, don't they?

    An amazingly delicious version of a tuna melt!

    This place is amazing! It's a family run business, and you can see and feel the love and connection when you are in there. They make you feel so welcome! Not to mention that these people serve fantastic delicious food! In addition, they give to their community (and surrounding communities), and they keep their word... they are people of integrity. They also have a food truck, so if you see their truck at a festival, stop by and get some of their delicious food! I highly recommend this business! If you are in the Burlington area or passing by, stop in! You will not be disappointed.

    Breakfast roll with ham and cheese

    I'm here for my 3rd visit since they opened and this place is still as great as the very first day. A real local gem. Breakfasts are fast hot and fresh. They do local bagels on the weekends that are as close to a jersey bagel as you'll ever find in ct. breakfast sandwiches remind me of my college days. Prices are super reasonable and the staf is very personable. You can get marble rye, wheat, rolls, tons of bread options. Coffee is at the bar and always hot and fresh. I love this spot. Don't miss it!

    Italian combo!
    Erin C.

    Stopped her on a whim! Cool place. They have a few outdoor, dog friendly seats, tables and umbrellas. I ordered the Italian chicken cutlet. And my husband ordered the Italian combo grinder. HUGE!!! The bread on both was excellent! Lots of meat on the grinder. They do have some amazing looking cookies for dessert but we were to full! I also noticed they had bottled IPA's in the cooler.

    Grab n Go options

    It's here..this is the place you've all been looking for...a true local deli that stands up to the competition with quality, affordability and tastiness. They offer a great selection of breakfast items, sandwiches, paninis, salads and grinders all in a convenient location. I couldn't be more happy with the chicken cutlet grinder that I tried. Crispy made in house chicken cutlet on a solid grinder roll with Mayo, lettuce, tomatoes. I look forward to sampling more of their fantastic options and recommend that you do the same.

    Neat little sitting area inside

    River Glenn Park is a food truck area that recently opened in the summer of 2025. They will have a…read morevariety of food trucks on a rotating schedule. There is a parking lot for about 20-ish cars. There are a few picnic tables, trash cans, and restrooms. Across the street is the Farmington River trail in Burlington, CT. We came here on a Saturday for dinner to check it out. There were a few cars and people. Since it's new, there was an ice cream truck, taco truck, Little Axe farm stand, and a beverage vendor. I know it's still new so I see a lot of potential of this place being a popular spot and I'm assuming more food trucks coming soon!

    "Keep on truckin', baby I got to keep on truckin'…read moreGot to get to your good lovin' " (Eddie Kendricks) Food trucks seem to be everywhere! At your favorite park, at fairs and festivals all over the state, and at a growing number of food truck parks. What's a food truck park? Well, it's pretty much like an outdoor shopping mall lined with food trucks instead of stores. We visited a fairly new one today - the River Glenn Park on Canton Road (Route 179) in Burlington. Our first impression was extremely favorable. It is very well organized, with a gravel lot, marked traffic flow lanes, and plenty of parking. They have a large restroom facility, and plenty of brand-new wood picnic tables with bench seating and wood dining tables with conventional chairs. The food trucks on premises rotate on schedule, and today we saw a Taco Shack truck, a Cowboy Butter BBQ truck, a Wiener Time cart, and a Little Axe Market stand. We both had lunch from the Taco Shack, and each went for a "Three Tacos for $13" special. They offer nine different tacos, and the special lets you mix or match any three for $13. The choices are pretty cool - Classic Beef, Chicken, Pork, Crispy Chicken, Buffalo Crispy Chicken, El Diablo, Sweet Potato, and Deep-Fried Pickle. My wife went with sweet potato, chicken and pork, while I went with pork, Buffalo Crispy Chicken and an El Diablo. I love spice, and the El Diablo promised plenty of heat with spicy rubbed chicken, sriracha, sriracha crème, and fresh jalapenos. Honestly, it disappointed me -it was barely spicy at all, and the fresh jalapenos were nowhere to be found. On the other hand, the Buffalo Crispy Chicken was great. It had a good-sized chicken tender with some hi-test hot sauce slathered inside the taco. It was by far my favorite. Now, listen up because the food trucks don't sell drinks. Instead, you need to go over to the Little Axe Market stand that sells cans and bottles of soda, along with fresh tomatoes and baskets of mums. A 20-ounce bottle of Diet Coke cost us $3.50. We grabbed a picnic table, enjoyed the beautiful day, chatted with a lovely lady who was there with her dog, enjoyed our tacos, and drank our $3.50 bottle of soda. Well done, River Glenn Park. Thanks for a very positive first visit.

Skinny Pines aims to keep its pies as local as possible, buying all its produce and many of their key ingredients from farms in Connecticut and New York. In fact, Borofsky and his truck are headquartered in Easton, just less than five miles from Sport Hill Farm, where they are regular customers. The dough is made from hard red winter wheat, a 100% whole wheat grain milled to 00, sourced from Wild Hive Farm and Bakery in Clinton Corners, New York. The dough itself is treated to a 12-hour cold fermentation before it's left to rise for its weekly market appearance. This whole wheat dough is used on each and every Skinny Pines pie. The combination of finely ground 00 whole wheat flour and the wood-fired oven creates a light and airy crust, with just a hint of pleasant nuttiness. The Bianca is my recent pie pick, a white kalamata olive and rosemary pizza. Borofsky's toppings change seasonally, so check back often for his seasonal pie offerings and call ahead for their location. A locavore pizza truck with an eye for organic quality ingredients, don't miss Skinny Pines at the Westport Farmers' Markets!

We had an event planned yesterday, 5/6/21 for our employees; 55 people were expecting a pizza truck lunch. At 4:20pm the evening before the event, I received an email from Jeff saying he had 2 problems and would not be able to do the event. Zero notice and no other options. Just, sorry. Just thought you might want to know this because hiring a reliable caterer is typically the most important quality if you are hosting any kind of event. I do not recommend. Find someone else, anyone else!

As I was leaving today from my first (and definitely not my last) lunch visit, I told the awesome staff "I hope to have reason to host a catered party so I can call you." *** The look and feel of this place screams of "home" to me. I'm from NJ and miss the true delis in every neighborhood. No offense to the Litchfield Hills, but I don't want books, artwork for sale, or jazz in my deli - and I sure don't want prefabricated sandwiches that are trying to inspire my esoteric side. Alfredo's just hits home. Home cooking. Very generous portion. Fantastic bread/rolls. Staff that made my experience great beyond expectation (they even gave me a sample of the day's special panini for my feedback... spoiler alert, it was terrific)! From what I tried today, everything was good. But the chicken cutlet is literally worth the drive from anywhere.
