I am a glutton for new things, new places and new adventures so off I went to find Joey's to the seldom driven far reaches of Gunn Hwy west. Past Van Dyke, past Lake Fern and coming to a rest near Ashley Lakes where urban development has spread its tendrils. Shock and Awe. As I entered a warm and fuzzy perception of exitement and recognition swelled in me. A small but concentrated area with authentic Italian products and "atmosfera italiana". From the nostalgic Big Apple crooners singing the italian-american classics, to the colorful displays, legitimate italian products, geniune italian butcher choices to fridges full of bona-fide pre-prepared italian food products the stank of authenticity permeated. The deli/meat area was packed with delectable choices and fresh assortments that any italian would be proud to put on his table. Even things like pre-wrapped bracciole (beef & pork), veal cutlets, homemade italian sausage, steaks and all the standards. I even took home some Korean BBQ Baby Back Ribs After my long and detailed perusal my attention my attention was drawn to the slender aisle leading to the other side of the store and what I thought would be shelfs of canned, bottled and dry package products. But behold, it was a small dining area with a wide variety of pizza by the slice or whole, sandwiches, hero's, salads and pasta's. A cornacopia of foods, all the italian masterpieces that the American-Italian community has to offer, and the place was packed with eager diners. I bought 4 slices for the road and was tempted to try other things but I already had nearly a $100 in products. Fresh Pecorino Romano to grate for my Carbonara, a gorgeous piece of guanciale, regular and hot italian sausage, the ribs and a package of spaghetti from Italy. The pizza was superb, different from any other in town, complex, delicious, thin crust with a proper char. The Korean ribs were excellent, a hint of spicy heat with an umami bbq sauce. Buying a whole pizza next time, plus I am already excited about returning. As soon as I finish makung my Carbonara and try the italian sausage, I will return for the beef bracciloe, some veal and some of the premade sauces. There is not a lot that gets me ranting these days, so when I tell you this place is amazing, you can take that to the bank. COME GET YA SOME!!

Pre made meals to heat up, cuts of meat and everything needed for your home to cook with. Service was great on the market and the bakery/restaurant part.

Quick lunch to pick up or eat in with some table on the inside and out. Chix parm was great good portion for lunch, the roll that came with was unbelievable.

I grabbed their Blackberry Chantilly iced coffee and--wow--this is not your average drive-thru caffeine fix. The smooth espresso, subtle blackberry sweetness, and creamy Chantilly topping hit that perfect balance between indulgent and refreshing. It's basically summer in a cup with just enough caffeine to make you feel like you can conquer life (or at least your inbox). The space is stunning--think industrial-chic meets cozy farmhouse. Exposed wood, black iron accents, hanging Edison bulbs, and greenery that's just enough to make you feel like your Pinterest board came to life. The "ODESSA" wall art and rustic shelving add a local, welcoming touch. The counter area is equally inviting, with shelves of Foxtail merch, cheeky coffee signs ("Without coffee I literally can't even"), and a dedicated Kelly's Ice Cream counter--because nothing says "treat yourself" like pairing an artisanal latte with a scoop of locally made ice cream. Staff was friendly, the vibe was relaxed, and the details were on point. Whether you're meeting friends, working remotely, or just want to sip something beautiful, this is the spot.

There is a covered patio for when the weather is behaving like Florida, and open tables with umbrellas for when the weather is nice.

We have driven past this for years, assuming that it was connected to a convenience store and realized today that the entire building is dedicated to the restaurant. The only drawback is that there is no indoor dining, so pay attention to the weather before you go. I imagine this is very popular with the locals who live in the near vicinity. We did not save room for ice cream, but we hear that that is definitely worth a stop.

The wings were perfectly cooked, flavorful, and coated in a rich Garlic Parmesan sauce. The nachos were crispy, well-seasoned, and paired nicely with the wings. The highlight of our meal was the Smothered BBQ Chicken Sandwich--a juicy, tender chicken patty topped with fresh salad. We wrapped up our lunch with Bruschetta, a fresh and flavorful Italian classic, which was the perfect way to end our meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our food from The Trough at Starkey Market.
