    If you're looking for fine dining with a romantic atmosphere, go somewhere else. If you're looking for really good food, with reasonable prices, this is the place. In the middle of nowhere, but with a nice view of a pond. Patronized by a lot of friendly locals. Open seven days a week (over 100 hours!). Owned and operated by hard-working and very capable Sheri. My friend, Demanding Dan, recently read about the MPCS in the Journal Inquirer. That article raved about their CBH. I'm hooked. Unfortunately, this morning, they were out of CBH. But Sheri mentioned they had smoked a brisket overnight. I had never had brisket for breakfast before (I guess I lead a sheltered life), but had to try it. With 2 eggs, home fries, and a buttered bagel. DD had a fried egg on a bagel w cheese and brisket. Both of us loved the food. Dining area is smallish. Food comes on paper plates w plastic utensils. But the ambience is "home-spun" Andy Griffith-like. Next time, I have to try the CBH. A little gem in the country. And the homemade pastries were very tempting....next time.

    Brisket tacos - you get 2 per order.  Very flavorful!

    Had the Brisket tacos tonight via take out. You get 2 per order. They were pretty good but i think they needed a few jalapeños but that's just me. We love their sandwiches. I usually get the Turkey Avocado kicker (it has jalapeño mayo - are you seeing a trend here?) and hubby gets the Brookline or Steak n cheese. We have had their brisket sandwiches which are served with beer cheese and pickles. If your in Stafford make the trip into the Millpond. You won't regret it.

    I live in Storrs and when I saw the rating that this specific store was getting I was taken aback…read more 1. This is NOT a full sized PriceChopper store. For that you would have to go out to Vernon. They will not have the selection of a full sized store (like the local Big Y or Stop&Shop or even PriceRite) 2. I can tell you for a FACT that the prices are pretty even with either of the local Big Y stores. There are several items that I get on a weekly basis that are less expensive than the local Big Y. 3. I LOVE the people working in the Pharmacy. They are great, have real personalities, and are a joy to interact with. I have moved all of my prescriptions to the Pharmacy here, they are so much better than CVS. 3a. Every time I have ever stopped an employee to ask where I might find something, that person stopped what they were doing and then TOOK ME TO THE ITEM. none of this... pointing down the aisle and saying "its down there on the right somewhere". Once when they couldn't find it they paged the grocery manager and stayed with me until I had an answer. 3b. Every time I have used the regular checkout here I have been asked if I would need any help taking my groceries out to my car. Never had that happen at any other store in the area. 4. Because it is a smaller store they will only stock items that sell often (its called increased turns), they don't want anything sitting on the shelves too long. So if you are looking for a niche item, call first. 5. The Deli and food counter offer may options that are very reasonably priced. Even the fresh sushi is priced the same as I have seen in all of the other stores. BUT, and this is a big one, THEY WILL LET YOU CUSTOMIZE YOUR SANDWICH/SUB. I went into the Mansfield Big Y and asked for an italian, but without salami. Was told "no substitutions". I asked to 'build my own sub' instead and was told 'Not an option'. Guess who doesn't get subs from Big Y? That's right... this guy. 6. Someone mentioned that the carts won't accommodate baby seats. Not sure where they were, because I took my grandson into this store (as an infant) and locked his car seat carrier into the full sized carts here. In addition, now that he is 4 and wants to help with shopping, he LOVES the tiny carts with the (Shopper in training) flag. I am in this store 2-3 times per week and am glad to have it in Storrs. As with any retail establishment there will be items that are priced higher than other stores but also there will be some good deals. You just need to look.

    I would go here if I wanted overpriced and bad quality food. Why is everything 2-5$ more than…read morenormal and the worst quality ever. Save ur money and just drive to Big Y.

    I have been a fan since the mid-70's. Vernon is the place to go, but I have very fond memories of…read morethe former Reins Deli in the Hartford Civic Center way back when for a late night snack or heavier refueling sandwich. Which brings me to my newly crowned favorite sandwich - Tongue On Rye; ask for the tip slices very lean. I even got a dependable guarantee from our server she'd provide an unforgettable tongue sandwich. In a comedic mood, I asked our server to not give me any lip! She doubled over giggling and said thank you for your honesty and THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I've been asked just Tongue with "No Lip." Despite the comedy and light hearted conversation the table for two was perfect Harry & Sally style! Watching the action, enjoying the lean tongue on rye with mustard an unforgettable delight.

    Quality is still good, price and portion are askew…read more We came here as a quick sandwich bite on our way around the state. Service was good, and the ambiance is still lively. The still tastes good, with some exceptions. The frier oil seemed burnt, so the pickle chips we had just had that little bit of carbon taste on them. The pickle chips batter was very thick, and the mayo was the only respite. The sandwich, still tasty, seemed much smaller than normal, the meat still had good flavor, but the portion was lighter in comparison. The prices are also a bit high. The sandwich coming out to about 15 bucks. The bargain is very much gone now, and the portion is okay for a sandwich but pricy because of this shrinkage. Not shown are the overcooked onion rings. We returned those and the server promptly removed them from the bill. So really good customer service. I opted for a brownie for dessert, and the brownie was a disappointment. Too sugary, no flavor, gummy, and disappointingly small and thin. A detractor for sure. As a deli, it feels like it's on the decline. I know things are pricier now, but what you pay vs what you get doesn't match up. I'm hoping they pivot from this path, but right now it's no longer my go-to. It's still tasty, just pricy
