Now that I've tried the place I will make it a regular stop for me too.

He remembered my husband's request for thickness and preferred amount of fat around the chop - perfect for searing. My husband has been preparing chops Steven's way for years now and it is flawless. It certainly doesn't hurt that the meat he starts with is fabulous. Since I had many errands to run, I asked Steven if he had any ice I could use in my insulated bag. He graciously supplied me with several sealed bags of ice which would be sure to keep the pork safe until I reached home. We enjoyed them tonight. One chop was enough for the two of us ( picture below), but we will have one tomorrow in our salad. They always preserve their juiciness and flavor well into the following day.

I stopped by during my travels looking for a sandwich and just loved the whole set up of the place…read more There is a butcher area for all kinds of meats, all looked fresh and of great quality. Customers were coming in to pick up their meat orders. The deli area offers a variety of cold and hot sandwiches, salads, sides. Great selection. I ordered a roast beef and Swiss on a hard roll, with coleslaw and horseradish sauce. It was fantastic! The meat was flavorful and plentiful and that homemade slaw added a great little kick. They also have baked breads and goodies. I left with a sourdough bread and a choc chip cookie. There are some tables outside to eat. They also sell unwashed, unrefrigerated chicken eggs from a local farm. So great! I did buy these, but somehow they didn't make it into my bag which I did not discover until I got home, but other than that, service was super friendly and helpful. So refreshing to have quality customer service. The store is well organized, nicely decorated, and extremely clean. I recommend a stop in and I will make a point to return as soon as possible.

What a cute market with a coffee bar that has specialty drinks! There are so many lovely things to…read moremention about this place. It has a large food menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I enjoyed a sausage egg and cheese sandwich. There's also some premade items to grab and a little trinket table to browse. There's a large fridge with a lot of bottle drink options but also a fountain soda machine. They really got it all! They have a lot of coffee options including some rotating specialty lattes. And there's a cute coffee bar to sit and order from. Most importantly I want to highlight the service and staff. I met the owner and her family and they were the kindest and most welcoming people I've ever met. And I was there super early for a latte! In a world full of chain restaurants, it's important to remember to visit your local businesses. It's often filled with hardworking families. I encourage you to give it a try!

Today was my 2nd time at Dodingtown Market & Deli. I wish I would have taken a pic of my sandwich…read morefrom the 1st time the George Foreman with the homemade tortilla chips, and homemade pickles. That sandwich is what made me want to go back. Today I brought my husband in based on pics of their pizza from reviews on Facebook. We ordered a large Hot Oil Pie, and Garlic Knots to eat there. Then a large cheese pizza to take home. In addition I had an iced carmel salted latte one there ,and it was so good I took one to go. On top of it the family that owns Dodingtown were just as friendly and welcoming as the first time I came into their business. Now lets start with the iced salted carmel latte so creamy, and refreshing but not too sweet. The garlic knots have sliced pieces of garlic, nice plump dough, and the sauce was to me perfect! The hot oil pie if you like HOT this is your pizza. The peppers used on this pizza are green chill peppers, and red italian long peppers. These peppers together bring the heat. The crust is thin and crispy, and the sauce is a delightful homemade sauce. You can tell their pizza is made with the best ingredients. Dodgingtown is a local business You want to know from their sandwiches, pizza, baked goods, coffees, teas, etc. I am looking foward to the next time I can eat at Dodgingtown Market & Deli‼

There are a few spots but depending when you come it could be tight Also the spots have those cement barriers so if your car is lower to the ground just be careful AMBIANCE - inside the store is very clean and nicely designed PRODUCTS - lots of interesting gourmet items and a plethora of gluten free choices. We came for the De Pumas frozen pasta. For gluten free this brand is about as close to the real thing as you can get CHOCOLATE - they have some nice stuff including Bridgewater bars. Their sugar free ones are really excellent SERVICE - the lady at the counter was cordial and congenial. Extremely welcoming PRICES - it's a gourmet shop so the prices are pretty high.

So, my wife and I, along with our tween daughter, visited Hilltop Kitchen on a whim last Saturday…read more First impressions were wonderful. The dining room was empty as we came early, and it looked beautiful. The entire restaurant, to the eye, is absolutely a vibe. There was one server on shift at the time and she was very nice and welcoming. We had very high hopes for the meal to come. We were fairly disappointed. It was during a brunch service. Initially ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Yes, calamari as a brunch app is kind of strange however since it was available I ordered it. I typically order this wherever I go, because I execution-wise, it's not the easiest thing to prepare correctly. This app was tiny, as in the serving size. Additionally the calamari itself was super small as well. No nice meaty rings. No crispy tentacles. Just a greasy mess. The dish purports the dipping sauce to be that of a fra diavolo, it was not. It was more like a marinara with chunky bits of aromatics and perhaps a bit of crushed red pepper. It was also very pricey given everything. Even if it were perfect, still on the pricey side. At the same time my daughter ordered French toast. For $18. We are talking $6 a slice of brioche. Wild business, that. As mains, my wife ordered the avocado toast. Which she actually seemed to enjoy, although the bread was soggy, and the other items on the plate severely lacking. I ordered the "lobster" cake eggs Benedict. If this was lobster, then I'm the Mother Theresa. It was, by my palate overly processed canned crab meat. At best, overly processed lobster meat, but I highly doubt that given the taste, color, and texture. The CRAB cake itself was meh, the accompanying potato hash was okay, and the hollandaise sauce was passable if not good. We ordered drinks as well. My lemon drop martinis were pretty good. My wife was dissatisfied with her margarita, then ordered a dirty martini that was okay. We walked out with a tab of nearly $200. To say it was worth the money would be absurd. I hate to be so blatantly honest with this review, but this experience (food and drink-wise) was not one I would recommend.

We were sat quickly by a lovely young lady who I came to find out is the owner's daughter. There were several tables occupied but we were greeted promptly and attended to. We ordered the grilled cantaloupe with whipped ricotta crostini and it may be one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted, ever! The drizzle of hot honey topped with pistachios was the perfect accompaniment. I also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad and my husband had the Philly sandwich , both were perfection. We were not planning on dessert, but, then, we did with no regrets. The black cherry cheesecake was delicious and shareable. Honestly, even after a wonderful meal, the best part of our lunch when was the owner came over to chat with us. She introduced herself and told us a little about herself and her story. She is a remarkable, strong, woman who has worked hard to build her business and I truly can't wait to go back and to bring friends!

At first, I wasn't really going to ever write a review here. However, I've now visited this place…read moreenough times in the morning over the last few months that I can write something here. I mainly just come here to grab coffee if I'm driving to work, and that's been a real good find since. I'm honestly impressed you can still have a large coffee for under $3. It's been $2.46 every time I've come. I did also once have their cinnamon roll as well, and even that doesn't break the bank. Really, the main reason why I don't give it five stars is because I haven't had enough items for this deli to really decide if it's worth that fifth star or not, but service is good, price is good, and the coffee is worth the commute every time. Maybe one time I'll come here to grab something else if I need gas on the way home.
