The chicken salad sandwich at Hinckley's caught my eye. I normally shy away from mayo based sandwiches for fear they are made with Miracle Whip. The customer rep assured me that the chicken salad was good and was lemony, not sweet. Wow! It was absolutely delicious! There were large chunks of white meat chicken in a delicious creamy, lemony base. There were nice size bites of celery that gave it a nice crunch. I am not sure what kind of roll the sandwich was served on but it was warmed and was perfect with the chicken salad. The sandwich is definitely large enough to share. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

Parking: 3.8/5 it's East End Market, parking is selective and few during peak times, the weekend and Fridays are always pretty busy. That being said, any other times you go parking might not be a problem. Service: 5/5 Hinckley ls one of the longest serving businesses in east end market, with that comes service knowledge, and the entire team knocks it out of the park Price: 4.5/5 not much else can be said here, do you like quality ingredients? Do you like great food? That comes at a naturally higher price. Where I think their great value is at, is inside the "deli case" if they have their chicken salad there it's worth picking up. Ambiance: 4.2/5 the store front is in a prime location with an extremely open plan, it's got a great flow to the front deli case and up towards a very legible menu screen, their tinned fish wall on the left is beautifully organized then flowing down is their wine selection. The only thing holding back hinckleys is east end market itself, this is due to the sometimes loud and unmatched music being played. * recommendation * oxtail and Egg is absolutely delicious. Make sure to check out their vast tinned fish wall there is so much more to tinned fish than many realize

Stopped in for a late lunch based on the recommendations of fellow Yelpers. I used to go to this…read morelocation when it was Hungry Pants. I did not realize it was also a restaurant with sit down service. I thought it was just a butcher shop. The inside is simple, but also nicely decorated. Seating can be at the bar or at tables. You walk in and order from the menu on the screen above the cashier. You are given a table number and your food is brought to you once it is ready. The prices are a little on the high side, but you are getting top grade Wagyu so it is well worth it. Claire was the young lady behind the counter who took our order and brought our food to the table. She couldn't have been nicer and she explained what her favorites were on the menu and answered all our questions. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Tapa and my friends each ordered the Wagyu Burrito. We added an order of fries to the menu based on recommendations from previous Yelp reviews. We all agreed these were some of the best tasting fries we've had in a long time. Along with water, two of us ordered glasses of the Pinot to enjoy with our lunch selections. Our items were quickly brought to our table. However, the orders all did not come at once. My tapa plate was provided at least five minutes before my friends got their burritos. Not sure if this is their normal serving process, but keep this in mind if a large group comes for lunch or dinner. We all enjoyed the delicious Wagyu beef in our selections. The tapa came with garlic fried rice, atchara and a fried egg on top. The amount of Wagyu was maybe about 3 ounces, but the entire plate was filling for lunch. Both of my friends enjoyed their burritos, which included Wagyu, black beans, rice, cilantro creme, cotija cheese, pickled red onions, and fried green tomatoes. They also liked the toasted soft tortilla that's surrounded the burrito. All in all, a nice lunch at this cute restaurant/butcher shop. Various types of Wagyu meat and other supplies can be purchased also.

Ended up being a good decision. A definite standout was our server CD. We really enjoyed chatting with him. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and genuinely cared for. We went with the $29.99 option for everyone in our group. The Bulgogi Pork was our favorite meat. Such a tasty marinade! You will definitely leave stuffed. Large space inside. The Banchan bar could use some better labels, but that didn't stop me from loading up my plate. Enjoyed the Japchae and appreciated the nearby scissors which came in handy. The main challenge for this place is it's nearby competitors, Izziban and Korea House. Wish K-BBQ had a more unique name, but regardless they can hold their own. My experience was pleasing from beginning to end.

The server explained appropriately how long to cook each item. Delicious, pricy, but overall totally worth it for the meal.

The restaurant seating is omakase style, the menu has 3 options featuring Japanese Wagyu, tuna and curry menchi katsu with U.S. beef. Each order is presented beautifully in a set with 2 small sides, a bowl of barley rice, 2 different dipping sauces and a cabbage salad that you pair with goma (sesame) dressing. You also get a hot bowl of suimono soup towards the end of your meal. Unfortunately it was a bit to salty for my preference. To cook the wagyu, you place the pieces onto the hot stone butane grill in front of you and sear to your preference. There's no smoke and the market is open air enough you don't smell like BBQ. The meat is so tender and buttery. It was delightful. The potato salad was delicious and the pickled cabbage complimented the richness of the wagyu very well. My husband had the surf and turf. A nice big portion good enough to share. The tuna was fresh and breaded well but I preferred the wagyu for sure. Will definitely be back again.

We tried their Italian, sub of the week and caprese with chicken. All of the sandwiches were delicious and huge. Definitely shareable but you won't want to share because they are that good. The vinaigrette on the subs is heavenly. I also can't leave without getting the beet salad, tomato/mozzerella, and the pasta salad. All of them are so good. The beets are so fresh and light - they are my favorite. If you go early enough you can also snag some Sfogliatella or rainbow cookies. They also have a variety of cakes in different varieties and flavors. In addition to fresh offerings, they have a variety of Italian grocery items from pastas and sauces, to cookies and wafers, to canned or pickled veggies. Definitely an Orlando staple that you have to try!

That personal touch makes the experience feel extra special. A heads-up on parking; the lot is pretty small and shared with a brewery, so it can get a little tricky. With a bit of patience, though, you should be able to find a spot. I tried the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and it was so good! I love that they offer it all day. The bread was freshly made, and they use real eggs. It was perfectly seasoned that I didn't even need to add salt or pepper. I also tried their Italian wedding and rainbow cookies, both delicious. Prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. They have a deli, where you can pick up fresh meats, they have a coffee bar, with a selection of desserts, and a little shopping area where you can pick up authentic Italian pantry staples like pasta and sauces. Seating includes a few bar seats along the back wall and covered outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, especially the chicken parm sandwich. Between the quality of the food, welcoming staff, and charming atmosphere, I highly recommend Stasio's.

I've been going there since they opened…read more It's a clean and modern aesthetic with typical hot pot and grill at the tables The staff and servers are always attentive and nice. The front staff remembers us every time we go. I am obsessed with the herbal and spicy hot pot, so I usually have them make it 50/50 mix. The vegetables are fresh and there's a wide selection of meats and seafood. I also like to make my dipping sauce with the garlic sauce blend. My favorite is the Galbi which is seasoned well. Both savory and sweet. Another obsession is the asago dessert which is a tapioca pearls, black beans, fruits and jelly in a sweet coconut milk. I really enjoy going here since it's a good alternative to other AYCE in the surrounding vicinity because of the better quality. I want to see this place get more traffic because it's hidden in the old JoAnn's shopping center next to Aldi. There's plenty of parking in the commercial lot.

Storytime: a husband wanted to open a BBQ joint.

Friends, this place is proof that compromise can be beautiful. Sweet meets spicy meets (meats?) savory. Every bite felt like someone dared a pitmaster and a pastry chef to create the ultimate brunch, and somehow they pulled it off. The only drawback? Ventilation. It's stuffy inside. Plan on smelling like a smoky glazed donut the rest of the day. PS. If anyone wants to bring this concept to KC, I'd like to be considered an early investor. Or at the very least, a highly enthusiastic taste tester. Holy hell. Brunch of champions.

The restaurant is cute and vibey. Reminds me of Austin, Tx a lot since there were many places like…read morethis one. It brought me back a great memory and the ambiance in general was nice. Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
