After a brisk 3.5-mile walk around Hopedale Parklands, it was time for lunch. A quick Yelp search…read moreturned up a highly rated deli nearby, with a 4.8-star rating and more than 150 reviews. We decided to check it out. From the outside, Gene's Variety is a very modest building, located a little off the beaten path. Inside, it's a welcoming neighborhood deli that also carries selected groceries, bread, pasta, and other essentials. There's also a full deli case and a great selection of made-to-order sandwiches. After some deliberation, we ordered: * The Pilgrim: Roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and mayo * The Water Street Special: Chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts, American cheese, and lettuce (hold the tomato) You can select any bread or roll you prefer, and we chose Portuguese rolls. The chicken salad was good, although I think I'd prefer that sandwich as a wrap. The Pilgrim was outstanding. The stuffing was some of the best I've ever tasted, and I'd be happy to serve it as a side at my own Thanksgiving table. We also left with a loaf of meatball and cheese bread. We enjoyed it later at home, and it was very tasty. Gene's Variety is our new go-to spot for deli sandwiches in the Milford area!

They have prepared foods ready to bake like chicken cordon blue and and egg rolls. There is a menu of fresh made sandwiches that are amazing. They also sell a variety of rubs and seasonings.

I feel like they've stayed true to themselves over the years with their theming, but especially with their prices. It's so nice to see that their prices haven't gone through the roof, despite the difficult economy. I think The Beef Barn is a perfect example of an establishment that has done things right and stayed loyal to their customers, therefore having their customers stay loyal to them. You always know what you're getting at The Beef Barn and that's exactly how it should be. I typically visit the other location because it is closer to me, but I was in the Bellingham area and was happy to be able to visit this location. I will continue visiting The Beef Barn in the future. I love it and I hope they continue to be successful for years and years to come!

They offer a wide variety of drinks, prepared meals, and desserts, and the menu itself is extensive with plenty of options. I ordered three different sandwiches to try. The chicken parm was solid, though it could have used a bit more sauce. The triple decker was definitely a standout--really flavorful and well put together. Unfortunately, the Italian sandwich didn't meet expectations. Despite being the most expensive option, it had very little meat, lacked flavor, and the bread was dry. It just felt like it was missing something and wasn't worth the price. On a positive note, the Sicilian pizza was absolutely amazing--perfectly doughy and packed with flavor. I'd definitely come back, but would skip the Italian next time.

We tried a slice of pizza in the Sicilian version which had amazing taste with just the right amount of sauce. I ordered the number 80 and added pickles. I got the small size which was just enough for someone who does not eat a ton. The proportion on the sandwich was perfect and the jalapeño mayo was amazingly delicious. Parking was easy right in front of the restaurant. There was a variety of pre-cooked meals, as well as desserts, chips and a wide variety of drinks available. The menu is quite extensive with 80 sandwiches alone. Never mind the pizzas, pasta dishes and appetizers available. I highly suggest looking over the menu prior to your arrival at the restaurant or it could probably be overwhelming. I will definitely go back to try other menu items.

Both macaronis were delicious, tasted like my mom's home cooking in Virginia. I paid $29 and tipped. The buffalo chicken mac has quite a bit of buffalo sauce, breadcrumbs (not distracting from the overall taste), chicken cubes (very juicy and easy to eat! no texture issues here), a cavatappi-like macaroni, and their cheese blend. I ordered the steak mac, which is pictured. The steak mac was intensely creamy, with a stretchy cheese (12+ inches)! The steak added to the taste of the macaroni, but did not overtake the meal! I parked in their very handy, and spacious!!! parking lot, walked inside to pick up my order, and was surprised by all the ice cream flavors! A very kind young woman helped me pick up my order, and a very courteous man offered free samples of the ice cream! I tried their: graham cracker flavor, cinnamon bun, mint chocolate chip (it's green and chunky!! /pos), extreme chocolate, and smore's flavor. My favorite by far is the graham cracker flavor! The person serving ice cream is very knowledgeable and helpful, everything you expect + more in any service setting! What a helpful person! The place looks small on the outside, but it's quite spacious on the inside, with plenty of tables for seating on a semi-busy day. Please try this place out. I had driven past probably 99 times before stopping; I couldn't have expected more than what I received when I finally went. A perfect distance from the campus laundromat and franklin laundromat = perfect time to place an order during a wash and be eating by the time the dryer's on. There is a public, outdoor seating area directly across the street. Unfortunately, I came on a very rainy day and could not take advantage. Don't beat me to it!

Ice cream sourced from local place in Attleboro, I forget the name. Went back a few days later to try the chicken tikka masala Mac, fantastic. Will absolutely be back. My discerning 8 year old was also happy with her nugs and fries. A few cute tables inside. Free parking available. Highly recommend!
