A true local country store with a ton of zany and mouthwatering sandwiches invented by the husband…read moreand wife owners of 30 years! On a way back from a Catskills cabin retreat, we wanted to find a country store, to perhaps find some local goods like local honey, jams, etc. Unfortunately, this place wasn't that because it was more of a deli/general store type on a main road, but they made up for it with delicious sandwich offerings featuring Boar's Head products! We had to wait for the dynamic husband and wife duo to help loyal customers who were coming back for "the usual" or trying something different "this week" and knew immediately how integral they were to this community! Later when trying to decide, the owner told us how he grew up there, wanted to be out of this woods so badly as a young man but never got to leave, and ended up sticking around - running this store for 30 yrs and how happy he was with family and a nice property with fields and stuff! We really bonded in that short while! My wife got the Honey Mama? which had turkey and ham with honey mustard and cheese. It was really loaded, maybe too loaded with ham that I felt the flavor was a bit skewed towards being too heavy. They were too generous! I had to have the pastrami on rye with swiss and horseradish sauce and the man asked, "you want bacon?" to which I obviously couldn't refuse! It took a bit long and the lady told me that she threw away the first toasted rye cuz she wasn't happy with how it was over toasted... much appreciated because when I bit into that gorgeous thing, I was in heaven. Pastrami wasn't too salty and had a great taste, buffered by refreshing horseradish sauce, accented by occasional bits of really crispy bacon. My wife stole a few bites of mine. Overall, other than sandwiches, the store offers usual fare of drinks, they have some beers, some baked goods and other usual packaged essentials but sandwich is their main game! You can see so many random sandwich concoctions scribbled on laminated sheets and posted everywhere near the sandwich counter! If you're passing by and want a great meal on the go, give this wonderful folks your time & business. You won't be sorry! Thanks again.

And while you're checking out, remember you'd pay much for these cuts in a fancy steakhouse. For every day budgets the "Wagyu" pork chops are just $10 a pound, a relative bargain. They also have excellent deli sandwiches. The Soprano is their take on a classic Italian mix, and the Amore is thick slices of prosciutto with balsamic dressing and fresh mozz and arugula. Get one to go along with a drink, and enjoy it in one of the many public open spaces in Round Lake on the other side of the Northway. *Prices are on the blackboard, but dry aged steaks are not on display because they are cut to order as they should be.

Having this place close has spoiled us; the deli and prepared foods make cooking virtually unnecessary. The fresh-made takeout is also delicious.

This is a delightful, friendly neighborhood butcher and specialty grocer. Often just walking through inspires my creative side.

Parking is somewhat spread out on the side and behind the building, but there should be space for everyone even when they're busy. There's quite a few tables outside for dining in nice weather. Inside might be considered cozy if there's many folks ordering, but the crew behind the counter work well as a team and keep the orders coming out quickly. My 12" Italian sub was very well made and quite thick with all the cold cuts and fixin's. It's definitely a filling meal. You have lots of options there for food and drink, and there's that large cooler on the side with pasta available for take-home. This place rates high on taste and convenience for me.

Lately there have been a lot of reviews for this spot from other yelpers about this spot…read more When I first read it, I was like, where is this breakfast spot in Ballston Spa. I'm not beven exaggerating, but I have probably passed this spot like a 1000 times and didn't know this was a deli spot. A big tip here, make sure you market it properly as only locals who have tried would be aware of it. And guess what, this local never knew and mistook it for a convenience store. The deli has a lot of potential with a little upgrades. The deli has few spots for indoor seating and an amazing spot with picnic benches, in the woods with a view of a creek. The deli has been voted Saratogas best multiple times. I just got to know it but, this deli is listed for sale. We tried an eggplant panini and a chicken cheese steak. Both of which were good. We took the tiramisu to go. They do get a few bakerybitems from NYC everyday. Small local restaurant that is definitely worth a try. They have ample parking and could get crowded.

This is my first time through since the turnover. Right away you can see the decor that used to cover the walls, giving this spot massive character, is gone, hopefully that is something to be added by the new owners going forward. There are some things from my experience that may be chalked up to the recent turnover such as a messed up order that was fixed and the longer than typical wait for this type of food, but the quality of the food also took a hit. The sandwich was mediocre and the muffin was incredibly dry.
