    Mushroom Swiss burger w/ Beer battered fries, at Olde School Deli in Canaan, Ct.
    Tom D.

    I've stopped in for breakfast sandwiches in the past, those egg sandwiches have always been decent. But yesterday, I was hankering for a burger, and I recall seeing a billboard in town claiming that Olde School Deli has "the Best burgers in Town", so I decided to order one since I was passing through. I went with a mushroom Swiss burger, and I also decided to get some beer battered fries to go with my burger. I walked back to my vehicle to consume my food, and I have to say, THAT'S ONE TASTY BURGER. It really hit the spot, loved the fries too. Honestly, I have high standards for burgers, and I always feel like I make better ones on my own grill myself, so every time I order one out, I'm disappointed. Not so with the burgers at Olde School Deli. I drove home satisfied, and look forward to another burger when I'm passing through Canaan again.

    this was $3.50 after a 30 minutes wait

    the staff was rude and screwed up my order. i specifically asked if they have turkey bacon or meat alternatives because i dont even bacon. So i ordered an egg and cheese; they gave me a bacon egg and cheese. just disappointing sorry

    The best meatball grinder I've ever had!!!

    The Deli is by far the best restaurant in this town. They have a great selection on their menu and everything is amazingly tasty! I'm very picky about my MB grinders. It's one of my favorite foods but most places can't make them right , they are always too dry with barely any peppers and onions in them even when I ask for extra. But when I asked for it my certain way at the Deli they nailed it. There was plenty of cheese, peppers and onions. I can't wait to go back and get it again. Also, they make the best truffle fries and the cheeseburger is always done to perfection too. I can't thank them enough for being a great affordable , family friendly restaurant in this small town. Service is a Leah's great too.

    Fried egg over medium, white toast, home fries with peppers and onions, and sausage Pattie's.

    The food was absolutely amazing! The food was cooked perfectly! Great temperature and the service was very fast! I highly suggest coming here! I've also. Come here for lunch and their paninis are also very delicious!

    Rein's New York Style Deli Restaurant - One or our two popular vegetarian sandwiches.  Lettuce, tomato onion, cucumber, cole slaw and sweet red peppers.  That's a cool sandwich.

    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

    I stopped into Petraroia Deli on a recent weekday and was immediately charmed by this classic…read moreItalian-style deli tucked into a beautiful old red-brick building. From the moment you see the elegant vintage sign and bright red double doors, you know you're in for something authentic. The interior feels warm and welcoming, with a big, clear menu board that makes ordering easy. They have a solid selection of hot and cold sandwiches, breakfast options, and coffee. I went with one of their specials -- it looked like a chicken cutlet or eggplant variation with fresh greens (possibly arugula), roasted red peppers or similar, and what appeared to be a touch of egg or cheese. Whatever it was, it was excellent. The sandwich came on a perfect crusty Italian roll -- the bread was fresh with a great chew and slight crisp on the outside. The fillings were generous, flavorful, and well-balanced. The greens added a nice peppery bite that cut through the richness of the protein and any sauces. It was one of those sandwiches where every bite tastes just as good as the last. Service was friendly and efficient (the guy behind the counter was busy but still took time to make sure everything was right). The place has that old-school deli atmosphere mixed with modern touches -- exactly what you want when you're craving a quality sandwich. If you're in the area and looking for a no-nonsense, delicious deli sandwich made with care, Petraroia Deli is worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from the hot sandwich list (the Porchetta and Chicken Cordon Bleu both caught my eye). Pro tip: Check their hours -- they appear to be closed on Mondays. *Highly recommend the fried artichoke sandwich. .

    Food- 4/5 Overall experience- 5/5…read more It was a fun spot to stop at to break up our drive back to Boston. The lot was small but many people were coming in and out so we didn't have to wait long to get a parking spot or outdoor seating. There are two shops: the deli and market with different vibes and items inside. The market is a quick shop with some snacks, drinks, coffee, and knickknacks. The deli is where the hot/cooked foods are at with some other specialty foods. The food was overall ok, nothing noteworthy. The main attraction is their Mac and cheese that had been circulating my IG feed. Don't think it's life changing but the shops have curated selections of local goods that are reasonable priced to get some last minute treats. Pass on the general tso(?) and the potstickers in my opinion unless you're really craving it. The desserts looked amazing and would definitely get one next time

Brattleboro was on our…read moreroute home from our trip to New Hampshire so it was a no brainer to stop in for a quick bite to break up our trip back to NY. We were able to get a spot in front with no issue, but I imagine that this was because it was a week day. We chose the Mac and cheese and the maple pulled pork. Both were worth the hype in my opinion. The mac and cheese was super creamy and paired well with the tender pulled pork. The baked goods were nothing to write home about. Maybe we just chose the wrong items? We tried: Oatmeal cookie - good, but not amazing. Chocolate chunk/ peanut butter cookie - stale as heck and basically inedible. I always am leery of saran wrapped cookies that are out on display because its impossible to know if there are actually fresh. The giant stacks of cookies were too enticing to pass up on. The chocolate cookie we purchased was definitely not fresh at all. $3.29 down the tubes - lesson on saran wrapped cookies learned (again). Carrot cake whoopie pie and original whoopie pie - both tasty, but the cake was too thick for my personal liking. We sat in the small outdoor seating area to eat. This was a nice little reprieve from the car ride.
