They spun up and decided to start selling their menu and I was hungry. Easy, pleasy. I opted for the most keto-friendly thing on the menu, a meatball sub. Served with plenty of sauce and plenty of cheese on a toasted sub roll, I don't know how anyone would pick this up and try to eat it without wearing half of it. But there's me with a knife and fork, since I'm not eating the bun. Tasty, rich sauce. Spicy meatballs. Melted cheese. It was quite good. [Review 10199 overall, 1785 of 2018.]

TOLA-Rose Italian Eats paired with my building to do a soft launch this evening. It was pretty…read morecool. Roomie and I got dinner for free. But it wasn't just any dinner. It was a good, fast, warm, filling, and delicious dinner. Here's the run down. They're in this mostly-black food truck with Italian trappings--the red/white/green flags, garlic braids hanging around, the aroma of sausages and freshly sautéed vegetables, and a family-run, incredibly friendly vibe. They have both a digital menu (flatscreen on the truck) and a hand-written chalkboard menu out in front of the truck. There are five food options, three drink options (all variations on "water"), and pudding cups for dessert. The food options range from $7-9, the drinks from $1.50-2.50, and the dessert comes in at a flat $3. So, depending on how big of an eater you are, you can have a nice meal between $10 and $20. We grabbed a lasagna and a caprese salad, each taking a can of San Pellegrino sparkling water (flavor options available were lemon-mint, clementine, and sangria orange--I'd guess whatever is normally available from your typical wholesale market). For us, the food came in plastic containers. That was nice because we didn't actually eat right away and yet nothing dried out. We ran into our neighbors who had ordered sandwiches (meatball and garlic bread grilled cheese) and those came in open-faced trays with the checkered paper. All of us enjoyed our meals and walked away satisfied although I did supplement my salad with some popcorn and a movie later... I suppose the salad isn't supposed to be a meal, but I'm always a sucker for a good caprese. Dish highlights and lowlights from the group (as reported, I didn't try everything): The lasagna wasn't pretty. Maybe I didn't carry it nicely, but it was a little bit "unmade" when we opened it up. That didn't stop it from tasting delicious. It was tender and generously flavored. The caprese was fresh, nicely proportioned (I always HATE it when a caprese runs out of something before the end, which didn't happen here), and had a good strong kick to the balsamic. I do wish there was a full meal-sized salad option, but at least it was generous with the cheese and bigger than your standard appetizer. It's good that roomie doesn't like fresh tomatoes, because I was not going to be sharing. The sandwiches both seemed to be made out of the same pre-garlic-bread mini-loaves. The meatball sandwich had 4 meatballs and provolone on the bottom, red sauce on the top. The meatballs were tender and juicy, but it seemed like there was a desire for more cheese. Chen Don, if you're listening, this is a revenue opportunity. Add extra cheese for $0.50 or extra XYZ for $ABC (cheese, additional meatballs, more sauce, peppers, you name it). If this works for you, feel free to thank me with a check--or another free food item. ;) Or just be wildly successful and name your first child after me. Back to the food. The garlic bread grilled cheese seemed to be not as much garlic as desired for this particular garlic lover, although the marinara dipping sauce seemed to be homemade with large chunks of garlic. Again, I'd recommend selling extra sauce and putting that as a recommended menu item. Would I visit them again, if I were paying? Yes, but I'd ask for napkins. If anyone tries the pudding cups, please post a photo. I didn't ask but was wondering if these were something special or just standard wholesale cups from a large pack.

But really though, it's just nice to have another amazing breakfast place that's a bit closer to where I live for a change. Only a couple of towns over from Nashua, MPD epitomizes what the "farm to fork" experience is all about. From the farm fresh eggs, to the perfectly toasted bread, and homefries that seem tough to come by in most places these days. And wouldn't you know it - they even offer a choice between homemade hash or the canned variety. Diners like these automatically get bonus points in my book when they offer both styles of corned beef hash! If you viewed the photos before reading this review, you already know what I got. It's my all time favorite breakfast, baby! And I'll just say....they absolutely nailed everything on the plate! 10 out of 10, would highly recommend. The servers here are wicked friendly and inviting. I would expect nothing less from a diner so quaint. Yes, the dining area is rather small. Something tells me it's a good thing I came here on a Monday because I can only imagine how packed this place must get on the weekends. Should I happen by here on a Saturday or something, I'll make sure to arrive early just in case. It's one of those "seat yourself" type places. Because when you first walk in, you can literally see the entire dining area with but a glance. That's how small it is. A hole in the wall, if you will. And they most certainly live up to the reputation. There weren't many photos at the time of me first discovering their page here on Yelp. Perhaps I'll change that, should I decide to give their curbside take-away ordering a whirl and try a custom omelet or something. Whatever my next dish is, I can already tell this will become a frequent revisit for me. I'm giving Market Place Diner 5 plates of perfected farm fresh hash & eggs out of 5.

We ordered a ham & cheese omelette with home fries, wheat toast, 1 French toast with apple topping. Our order was served reasonable amount of time. Omelette was good, homefries were small pieces of overcooked potatoes, dark toasted toast. French toast was cold and sent back to stick in the microwave. Prices were the most shocking. Omelette was $15 bucks 1 French toast was $11.50, toppings extra, of course. Our breakfast meal was $29 and definitely not worth the price. Other menu items included $8 for 2 pancakes. Take cash, they charge a 4% credit card fee. We went a few years ago and had a nice priced meal, I doubt if we'll go back, too many other better priced diners to eat from with better quality for the price.

The only issue that anyone could have is that the food although good, lacks seasoning. That could be due to an older clientele that watches their salt. Not a bad thing but, as a foodie, I like my food a little more seasoned. We ordered whole-belly clams they were huge and crispy but a little over-breaded. I was pulling some of the breading off. I ordered a side of their homemade redskin potato salad/macaroni salad combo. Both are good, but again, a little lacking in flavor. The macaroni could be improved by a little chopped green pepper and onion because it was one-note. Now my partner's meal was also good. But the best part was the homemade corned beef hash. This was excellent! No salt was added and no salt was needed. My man raved over it. He also ordered the Codfish sandwich with a side of the redskin potato salad. Thank goodness we ordered only the sandwich because we saw the Codfish plate and were floored by the size of the plate. The prices were excellent as was the service. They had a lady who had been there since the restaurant's inception. We will try them again. There were many tasty-looking offerings on their menu. Get there early because they are only open for breakfast and lunch.

The space is very basic and geared towards takeout. They offer fresh brewed coffee drinks, espresso, lattes, specialty hot & iced drinks, and teas. For food, they offer made to order breakfast and lunch sandwiches, bagels, and baked goods. I've stopped in at Steam Cafe over two visits. Back in February, they just opened with a basic printed menu on the wall behind the counter. I stopped by for a breakfast sandwich on my way out of town. I ordered a Sausage Egg & Cheese on an Everything Bagel ($6.50 plus tax). I already picked up coffee from another place beforehand, but the owner offered me a sample size of their fresh brewed coffee which I got black. Their black coffee was strong and was told that there were no additives or chemicals like the bigger coffee chains use. The breakfast sandwich with egg patty, melted cheese and sausage patty on a toasted chewy everything bagel was very good with their coffee and my larger coffee from the other place (not Dunks). On a recent visit, the place progressed to offering more drinks and food choices and overhead lighted menu screens. I ordered a lunch sandwich and got the Rachel ($10.25 plus tax) which included a bag of Cape Cod potato chips & pickle. The Rachel had roasted turkey, American cheese, thousand island dressing, & cole slaw on slices of sourdough bread, cut in half. This sandwich was a solid choice for a quick lunch. I promised myself that I would try one of their specialty iced drinks on the next visit.

There is no seating inside or outside the shop, even though it has been open for ~8 months. Service was good; the barista was nice. The two lattes we got were very average; not notably bad or good, just very standard drinks. The food we got was a bacon / egg / cheese and an avocado / egg / cheese. Avocado was fresh, the eggs were like a poached store bought frozen / re-heated patty that were not good quality, and the bacon was again pretty standard. Nothing other than the avocado seemed notably great or fresh. For reference, the competition you have right down the road at Buckley's provides many of the same drinks / food of noticeably better quality for the same price.
