This was my first trip to Lancaster County, PA. My daughter and I took a buggy ride and wanted to…read morewalk to a spot for lunch. Perusing Yelp, I saw Stoltzfus (a local last name that was mentioned by our buggy guide) and it was a deli/restaurant- you had me at meat! You order at a walk up counter, get a buzzer, wait as they make it fresh, get buzzed, and pick your order up. Plenty of clean seating is available. The Philly cheesesteak was awesome! Lots of meat, tender but substantial roll, and hot! I got it sauced - this was new for me. I was thinking cheese sauce, but it was a red sauce. I loved it regardless ( my daughter wasn't as happy - not because it tasted bad, but she wasn't expecting it). We didn't have to wait to order, but once we were eating-the line was easily 25-30 deep. The eating section is called Amos' Place. The meat section is Stoltzfus Meats. A wonderland of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated meats and all the accompanying side dishes! There is also a very good selection of baked goods, spices, and munchies. Oh, the white root beer was good! I will definitely be back!

Well organized and wide selection…read more And a great source for a Thanksgiving smoked turkey (order in advance). The scrapple and smoked Ham hocks are also very good. The staff is helpful.

I strolled all the aisles, got coffee, a donut, a cinnamon roll, and a bacon egg and cheese sandwich surprisingly on a pretzel. Everyone was friendly, lovely scene, amazing smells. I just wish I had something like this close to home. Can't wait to go back.

This was so fun to walk around during a busy Saturday morning! Despite the 80° weather, the place…read morewas packed. My friend and I had fun touring not only the inside, but several shops that had set up outside the day we came. Plenty of fresh produce, homemade goods, flowers, and fun things to look at. I wish the air control was a little better, coming on such a hot day! We preferred to be outside as it was very stuffy inside. Still a very fun spot to walk around, and a much bigger farmers market than I am used to. We ended up, leaving with several items, and were very happy with our purchases!

Great specialty shop. I could have shopped and snacked here all day!…read more Service was friendly. It was busy, and took a minute, but quality was worth the wait. Ended up with an Italian sub with some of the best bacon I ever had. And some chips. And some cookies. I was lucky to get out of there without having to purchase additional luggage.

Not bad, would likely go back, but no urgency…read more Had the brisket sandwich with pickles and the bourbon BBQ sauce. Didn't seem right to have much else on it like cheese or lettuce given it's a sandwich, but it was a touch dry although I did like the level of fattiness it had as well. IG - @lanco.food.dude

Outside, there wasn't much to identify what the business offered, so we decided to explore. We found that Alicia (AJ's) offers top quality, delicious chef prepared food items for carryout. We talked with her about her history at Central Market, and her new location just outside the east side of the market. The storefront is accessible from both the alley and the first block of 12 N. Queen St. While making our selections, she shared how she prepares food and menus, sources ingredients, and offers grab-n-go as well as catering. We ordered eggplant Parmesan, which was absolutely delicious! The preparation was consistent and the dish was so flavorful. I'm looking forward to returning to try some of the other dishes that are offered. I think Alicia's is a great reason to skip cooking and just enjoy life!

I am here to tell you that as a cheese lover, these spreads are BEYOND ridiculous. Seriously. I WISH that we had something this awesome in North Carolina. I swear she uses these dips as an enticement to get me to visit. She tells me that they make a fantastic smoked kielbasa as well. I will be honest, I can't see this shop doing ANYTHING badly. I am so not kidding here. It's like they have an extra ingredient that makes it so addicting. You don't even have to be hungry, once you try the garlic herb dip you can't stop. Until that is you notice the tub is now empty. Run, don't walk, to any of these locations for these truly delicious spreads!

I told my wife, let's break tradition and serve something different for Thanksgiving. Instead of a supermarket ham, let's buy a smoked ham from the Amish country. I found online S. Clive Weaver. I called the store and spoke with the manager. I asked about the store hours as well as Thanksgiving Ham. (I'm thinking it's going to be a blood bath, 1000 people running into the store screaming HAM!) The manager assured me this is not the case, there will be plenty of boneless, smoked ham for us to choose. We pulled up to, it seems like a mini supermarket. Once inside, it felt like when the Wizard of Oz went from Black & White to color. There is EVERYTHING one would need for a holiday dinner. The first thing I noticed was the beautifully arrangement of baskets. There were multiple sizes of meat and cheese baskets, I never had a sweet salami? The blocks of cheese, were cubed and served to our Thanksgiving guests. Everyone loved the unique flavors that are not regional to where I live. They also had a pie station with many different flavors of homemade pies. I brought home a Shoo Fly Pie? Filled with the warm spices of the holiday, another hit with my Family. Now for the Ham, there was a wall of ham! Ham everywhere. I chose a hefty porker, it was very easy to cook. Again, everyone loved the flavor of the smoked ham that I snuck across state lines. S. Clive Weaver, it was a pleasure to shop at your establishment.
