The food is your expected deli fare, and salads like Potato, Cola Slaw, etc are delicious and cold and fresh anytime I've had them. My favorite is their Roast Beef sub which I doubt I can afford anymore. I used to get it when Trump was President and prices were reasonable. They give you what seemed like 1/2 lb or more on one long sub roll-like a loaf of Italian bread! I believe they use Boars Head. C'mon everybody! MAGA! So I can buy a roast beef sub at Mariaville Lakeside Country Store again! Jack from Lake Rd.

Great prices and insanely good quality food are what we had: chicken tikka masala and my favorite: Chana masala. Both rivaled the quality Indian fare that I have been used to growing up in NYC. So this is super exciting...but it's a bit of a trek from where I currently live. That said, I still get to Latham and /or pass by frequently...so this will be on the frequent stop list for sure. Besides Indian fare, I spied others waiting for fish tacos, burgers and wraps...so there's something for everyone. They have an app for ordering ahead. You'll find the QR code next to the food ordering kiosks. Download it!! The person behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. We were hungry, so we ate at the available seats near the window and happily took home leftovers.

Check. Kool-Aid packets? Check. Salt, Pepper, Ketchup? Check. Catnip? Check. If you don't know who Monty is than you obviously have never truly been to Albany. A friend once told me a story about Pine Hills and his sister's ex-boyfriend's roommate. This guy, Philbert, said he was on vacation with his great grandparents in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and he saw Monty's new commercial during Dancing with the Stars and his senile Great Grandpa Cox was so adamant about having one of Monty's famous Lettuce Sandwiches that he forced Philbert to call Pine Hills and order him one... and DELIVER IT TO CANADA! Monty, a man of the people, accommodated that poor old man's interests and some 7 to 10 days later, he had that lettuce sandwich and it was the best god damn sandwich of his life. I don't think much else needs to be said about the overall quality and customer service of Pine Hills Market.
