    Bologna

    Most things are above par at LaBonne's Watertown, but the deli is consistently far below. They have no idea how meat should be sliced. Ordered Boars Head deluxe ham and bologna, both sliced thin. Bologna sliced so thin was basically a lump of meat. Ham was sliced in wrong direction and thick, causing stringy inedible mess.

    My only experience here has been a good one. I called earlier in the morning to order some breakfast sandwiches for a meeting. When I got there they had them ready. Even better, they had them labeled so there would be no confusion. The pricing was good compared to all the fast food chains in the area. Why wouldn't you get a fresh breakfast sandwich for the same price as fast food? The staff in the deli end at the register were both friendly and helpful. I got bacon egg and cheese with avocado on a roll. It was warm enough so the cheese melted and every bite was blended with the egg cheese and avocado. The bacon was extra crispy just the way I like it. They also have a full service supermarket. They are a family owned business that has been around for a very long time. I want to say over 100 years, but I can't remember exactly. I was reading something in the store that gave the whole history and how they evolved into the supermarket they became. Stop in and find out for yourself.

    Some of the freshest sushi around, made to order each day! I was skeptical at first but really great quality.

    LaBonne's is our neighborhood grocery store but they are much more than just a store with groceries. Their staff has become like family always so friendly and welcoming you back to the store. You can tell that their staff genuinely enjoy working their & working with the customers. Most recently we ordered several trays of food from their deli/catering department and everything was delicious. They have a great catering book which clearly outlines everything offered with pricing which you don't find all over, nothing is a surprise. They also deliver their catering orders for a very low price of $10 which can't be beat. During the holidays they also offer complete holiday meals catered which saves you a lot of stress and no clean up. Highly recommend checking out their catering department.

    I have to give some well-deserved love to the butcher team at the Watertown Meat Center…read more If you're someone who enjoys cooking (or just enjoys eating really good meat), this place is a gift to have in town. The quality is consistently excellent, but what really sets them apart is that they actually have real butchers behind the counter who know their craft and are happy to help you find -- or cut -- exactly what you're looking for. Case in point: this weekend my youngest son decided he wanted picanha for dinner. Not exactly the most common suburban grocery store request. I walked up to the counter fully prepared for the usual "we might be able to order that for next week" conversation... and within moments they had it cut and ready for me. Boom. Dinner plans saved. Their meat case and selection are honestly elite. Beautiful cuts, great variety, and the kind of quality that makes you want to cook something ambitious. I'll also admit that in some of my past reviews I've had a little "constructive feedback" for other departments in the store. Let's just say I'm slowly making my amends. But the butcher shop? They've been consistently fantastic. Great service. Great product. Real expertise. We're lucky to have a place like this in town.

    It's a meat market for sure, but it's also a nice smallish grocery that serves the community. The…read morefocus is on meats, and they seem to offer for sale an excellent variety of meats -- nice looking steaks -- with mostly higher quality than we've found in area groceries. They have butchers who can cut the meats as you prefer, where in too-many chain groceries lots of the choices have already been sliced up. They have a nice selection of prepared sandwiches, and the aisles are stocked with just about everything you'd find at your local Stop and Shop, although their aisles are much close together. Prices? Not too different from a larger store, higher for some of the meat, but you're getting better cuts here, in our opinion. In sum, not for everybody maybe, but it's a well-run local shop and we like their offerings.

After years of giving this store second chances because it was convenient, I'm officially done. A persistent issue is the deli and prepared foods counter, where staff repeatedly push larger portions than you ask for. On multiple occasions, I've gotten to my car only to realize I had been given and charged for significantly more food than I wanted. The next few times I went in, I vowed to stand firm and not accept any more food than I wanted to pay for. The employee still overfilled the portion. It actually became a battle to leave with only the amount I had ordered. It became so predictable that I started going in and asking for a fraction of what I actually wanted, knowing they would likely go over anyway. However, that didn't work either! Most recently, I stopped in while in a rush before an event, hadn't eaten all day, and just needed something quickly. I have been souring on the place due to all the reasons listed, but was desperate. I went in already bracing myself for the same routine and determined not to be pushed into buying more food than I wanted. The interaction at the deli was so aggressive and unpleasant that I walked out empty-handed. (In a nutshell: They said they had to sell me more food than I wanted because they wouldn't be able to sell it. I said I didn't want to buy the extra food. Their attitude was like "oh well, too bad for you." ) Then there's the bizarre pricing strategy. Numerous items have no prices displayed at all. When you ask what something costs, you can be met with annoyance, as though basic consumer transparency is somehow an unreasonable request. If you don't put prices on things, what exactly do you expect customers to do? Guess? And when prices are displayed, some are extraordinary. I once saw frozen raspberries priced at approximately $25. I'm accustomed to paying more for fresh, healthy, high-quality food, but I have shopped in The Hamptons and other very expensive places and had never seen anything quite like that. The high prices would be easier to understand if the freshness were exceptional, but I have repeatedly seen products that appeared to be expired. A local friend told me she stopped shopping there for the same reason. She also said the employees/owners made disparaging remarks to her about customers after they walked away. Between the missing prices, aggressive upselling at the deli, questionable freshness and the general attitude, the store seems almost determined to discourage repeat business. At a minimum, customers should know what something costs before buying it and receive the amount of food they actually ordered. Save yourself the headache and shop elsewhere. It is worth driving to Woodbury to New Morning, which is the Holy Grail in Connecticut. There is also a good health food store in Middletown. If anyone knows of another good option in the immediate area, please shout it out. Or better yet, someone buy Nature's Goods. At this point, a change in ownership might be the most promising item on the menu. The owners there would probably love it if someone took the place off their hands, they seem quite miserable at what they do and they seem to really dislike their customers. I could go on about the nasty and boorish attitudes I've encountered there over the years from the owners/workers, but these are the major highlights.

What's unique about their toast is you can customize it to add more or less toppings to your liking. Now to get micro cilantro from what's technically a gas station blows my mind. They have little touches that scream EXTRAORDINARY! They always have samples. Today I'm so happy they offered their soups. The brisket soup is phenomenal. By the way they smoke the brisket on site!!! A perfect treat for a cold, winter day. So rich in flavor. I finished my meal with self service coffee. I had accumulated points by downloading their app taking $5 off my order. The app is great, you get coupons for discounts and the points add up quick. Definitely worth the space on your phone.

It's a Boston based radio and TV show that visits restaurants and food shacks across New England. It's a very fun show and I love their hosts (especially Leigh!). So we're watching a few weeks ago and they did a report on "some of the best barbecue we've had in a while". Now if that wasn't even to grab my attention, what they said next sure did -because this barbecue came from a gas station. Or rather a gas station/convenience store. There are 14 Alltown Fresh stations sprinkled across New England and four of them sell Barbecue. Once I discovered we didn't live too far from one, that sold barbecue (in Waterbury) I bookmarked it and we visited yesterday. It sure resembles a Cumberland Farms/Pride convenience store, but the distinguishing difference is they cook up fresh barbecue dishes to order. We got our barbecue fix with a big barbecue plate and a big barbecue bowl for around $20. They will give us four portions. My wife ordered a pulled pork plate that included bread and butter pickles, a big hunk of cornbread, and a choice of 2 sides from this selection - bbq baked beans, black bean salad, coleslaw, corn chow-chow, cucumber salad, mac n' cheese, macaroni salad, and potato salad. She went with slaw and mac and cheese and with my own eyes I saw their cook whipping up a fresh batch of mac and cheese in a saute pan behind the counter. I went with a BBQ Pork bowl with slow-cooked bbq pork, queso fresco, avocado, pico de gallo, and cilantro on a bed of shredded romaine lettuce and latin rice. The food was terrific and very reasonably priced at about ten bucks each. We had half of our orders for dinner last night and will finish them off tonight.
