Freshly cooked skewer meats, sticky rice, soup and drinks. You can buy veggies and fruits too. Wow... it was amazing.

Bring your own chair if you plan to eat outside. BRING CASH... no tax... no restroom...

This is a gem of a store in the Lincoln center. My husband and I stop here whenever we go to…read moreStockton. They have a unique collection of items ranging from supplements to teas and snacks. It feels like the Whole Foods health and beauty section on steroids(in a good way!) I always find something new and exciting at this store. It is a very small store and sometimes they have local vendors at the store. The girls at the counter seemed friendly and yes they were talking to each other but did not notice anything disrespectful as other reviewers had noticed. I highly recommend this place and also their magazine. It has delicious recipes and is a nice read for an afternoon tea time.

He told me all about the popular items, and gave me a sample of clam chowder. DELISH! Let me add that it's all freshly made & it's no water in his clam chowder (from his mouth), it's made with cream! I ordered the shrimp Louie, clam chowder, and carrot cake cupcake. I easily coulda spent $50 ordering seafood here, lol. Food was great! They also sell various seafood that if they don't have, they will order for you with a 24-hour turnaround time. Just call them & ask! I like this place & they'll definitely get to know me.

Seafood Express may not be fancy, but when it comes to flavor they sure do deliver. My Bay Shrimp sandwich had lots and lots of adorable sweet baby shrimp swimming in a light dilled mayo sauce. Genova soft roll of course! DH was a professional cook for many years and he loves my Clam Chowder full of chunky quahogs, so let's check out theirs, a crowd pleaser. Good ratio of medium-sized chopped clams to small cubes of potato. Just right milk to broth ratio and thickness. Glad I ordered the quart. I remembered to order carrot cake thanks to other Yelpers' recommendation. What came was a Texas-sized cupcake chock full of carrots, coconut, raisens, a bit of chopped nuts and all the right spices. Now the frosting can make the deal with CC. Happy to report absolute solid cream cheese flavor, not overly sweet. Winner! Lastly, DH's steak. He likes rare but when I called in to place the order, the friendly voice told me, "Sorry but all the steaks are grilled ahead of time." I saw a speck of pink in his when I was offered a bite, so medium well, oh well. He said it was dry and chewy. However, please note: when I was given this very generous bite, then stopped to grab a photo, someone was mighty quick to ask for it back and wondering about the delay! I'm here to say it was very flavorful, a generous portion and a bit dry. So we'll be back, I'm already eyeing marinated crab, the lasagna with a generous Tri Tip for Himself. 4.5 stars. Good value, good food, good people. How cool is that?

Pretty upscale market with a nice deli and bakery for this area. I'd say real close to Whole Foods…read morequality and the prices match. But this local indy store has been around in this town for over 55 years, so it is well deserved for them to be a local fave. I only got a sandwich for the road and a bakery item, so no significant grocery shopping. I was traveling back home and didn't have a cooler so I refrained. But next time if I have a cooler, their meat counter will get exercised. Got a Salami Sandwich ($11/4*) from their deli and it was pretty solid. Every sandwich is customized, so every customer fills out a card, checks off your preferences and hand it over to a deli clerk. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just your basic sandwich stuff, but with quality and fresh ingredients. I liked everything in my sandwich, was even to put alfalfa sprouts in it, as I haven't had that option in over a decade. I wished there would have been an option to add oil n vinegar to make it more 'Italian' tasting, so I had to settle on just mayo and mustard, which is more classic American tasting to me. Still a solid sandwich that I was able to eat in 2 intervals so a decent value in my book. Coffee Crunch Cake ($7/3.5*) Very impressive tall cake with a very moist crumb. A little too industrial tasting for me but better than other grocery cakes like Safeway, which taste like plastic to me, so many additives and stabilizers. Cake part had a light chocolate taste, but maybe it was supposed to be more coffee-like? I couldn't taste any coffee except for this super hard and sweet candy on top used for garnish. Indeed that candy offered a 'crunch' element but in a very cloying and awkward way. Sure it was nice and glossy and even resembled shiny coarse stone like obsidian. But to take a bite that big of hard candy to go along a delicate cake was just too extreme for me. I think if that candy were in smaller chunks, more like a crumb texture, it would disperse more sending coffee flavor more evenly and not risk breaking a tooth on that hard sweet candy. I had higher hopes for this. Gawked at their butchers counter and it was pretty darn impressive, Pretty high quality stuff but also insanely expensive. Steaks start at $20 per pound and easily rises double to triple from there. But they got some serious cut steaks here, like 2-3 inch thick cuts and they even have a couple versions of wagyu steaks. Nothing is prewrapped, everything has to go through a clerk. Produce section just meh and regular. Well kept but Safeway may have a more extensive produce section. Dry goods definitely Whole Foods level. They seem to have a guy out front bbqing meats like sausages and tri-tip, like 7 days a week, which is impressive. I got there around 11 am and the employee was just setting up. Otherwise I may have tried something. Cool store, that if this were in my town, I'd be a reg. Since I was just a passing traveler, just call me impressed.

Coming to Podesto's Market is a treat for me. I get to indulge in treats that very from cookies to…read moreslices of cake, pies, and even hand pies, which I believe the hand pies are made in house. It has taken me some time, but I think I'm able to tell what items are made here at the store compared to items prepared elsewhere and sold here. The items that they have brought in are very good quality and taste great, I just prefer to have items that are made in-house, it satisfies my taste buds. Today I purchased "Podesto's Own" cookies. These are cookies they make in house. Today the flavours I purchased was lemon, malted white chocolate and a peppermint shortbread cookie. The price is $19.99/pound for these cookies and I bought roughly 4 to 6 of each of those flavours I mentioned, so I spent $11.51 total, but like I said, I get to indulge when I come to this store and it's no surprise to me when I get to the register. Some times I even surprise myself because I over estimate the prices which makes me happy to feel like I saved a little Today I also purchased three different kinds of cheeses that I was able to find in very small sizes. Literally, I think I paid $1.76 for the smallest one and I paid $3.12 for the bigger one. These are name brands that are expensive. (For my price range anyways) However these are cheeses that I would like to know what they taste like but I don't want to buy the full amount because what if I don't like it, they're too expensive for me to buy and then have to throw away so I'm excited to try the cheeses that I bought today. The last thing that I bought today was a green onion dip mix that I can only find at this store. I used to be able to find it at another store that is close by but for some reason, they stopped selling the green onion flavour and only sell the French onion, which I haven't even tried. I just know that the green onion is amazing and it doesn't matter what brand I try nothing compares to this one so I come to Podesto's to get this dip because thankfully they have carried it for years. It was really busy today, especially in the bakery and deli area, however, the people working today in that area were very friendly and tried to get to everyone as soon as possible. Once I got to the cashier everything went smooth. The long lines were gone and I got out of there without spending more than $40 today which is great. Oh, I forgot about something. I came across a fruit preserve that I did not think would be available at any store because I've only been able to find this online but it tastes amazing and it's low in sugar, which is what I'm always looking for as well. (Let's pretend like I didn't buy all those cookies today please...) Anyways, it's Fior di frutta, wild blueberries. I'm very excited for this. Now I know where to purchase this. I hope you have a successful shopping trip as I have today at Podesto's. There's so much to stumble upon and excite your taste buds!

The taffy is displayed in big barrels, which makes it so fun for the kids to mix and match their favorites. My husband is obsessed with the pickle-flavored taffy (and says it really does taste just like a pickle!), while I stick with the sweeter flavors. My daughters picked out an assortment of taffy, my youngest walked out with a baseball-sized jawbreaker, and my son had a blast putting together his own candy mix and grabbing a Mexican Coca-Cola. It's a cute little shop with a nostalgic feel, and the owner is always friendly and welcoming. We've been here more than once, and every time it's such a fun experience. Definitely a great spot for a unique sweet treat, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!
