We stopped into the general store for lunch after a road race in Easton. The general store is…read moresmall. Only a handful of tables, but it was delightful and quaint. The deli options are extensive and a bit overwhelming if I'm honest. I had a Reuben and gluten-free bread and my GF had a turkey sandwich. There are endless potato chip options and beverage options. We sat and had our lunch at one of the small tables. We really enjoyed our visit. If you're in the Newtown area, I recommend the new town general store and their deli.

It included a mix of ham, bacon, sausage, and plain egg and cheese sandwiches. The order was ready as promised, and I was helped outside. Sadly, I did not take a picture of the giant box that was given to me with the sandwiches. There is a special for one dollar off per sandwich when you buy a large amount. I don't know the actual amount. I had a ham, egg and cheese on a roll. It tasted really good especially for the discounted price. There is a huge drink selection and a full menu for breakfast and lunch. The decor inside is really cool. It looks like a store from early 20th century America with all the wood. Tables inside to sit and enjoy your food. I will definitely be returning to try one of their lunch sandwiches.

Now that I've tried the place I will make it a regular stop for me too.

He remembered my husband's request for thickness and preferred amount of fat around the chop - perfect for searing. My husband has been preparing chops Steven's way for years now and it is flawless. It certainly doesn't hurt that the meat he starts with is fabulous. Since I had many errands to run, I asked Steven if he had any ice I could use in my insulated bag. He graciously supplied me with several sealed bags of ice which would be sure to keep the pork safe until I reached home. We enjoyed them tonight. One chop was enough for the two of us ( picture below), but we will have one tomorrow in our salad. They always preserve their juiciness and flavor well into the following day.

I stopped by during my travels looking for a sandwich and just loved the whole set up of the place…read more There is a butcher area for all kinds of meats, all looked fresh and of great quality. Customers were coming in to pick up their meat orders. The deli area offers a variety of cold and hot sandwiches, salads, sides. Great selection. I ordered a roast beef and Swiss on a hard roll, with coleslaw and horseradish sauce. It was fantastic! The meat was flavorful and plentiful and that homemade slaw added a great little kick. They also have baked breads and goodies. I left with a sourdough bread and a choc chip cookie. There are some tables outside to eat. They also sell unwashed, unrefrigerated chicken eggs from a local farm. So great! I did buy these, but somehow they didn't make it into my bag which I did not discover until I got home, but other than that, service was super friendly and helpful. So refreshing to have quality customer service. The store is well organized, nicely decorated, and extremely clean. I recommend a stop in and I will make a point to return as soon as possible.

I enjoyed a sausage egg and cheese sandwich. There's also some premade items to grab and a little trinket table to browse. There's a large fridge with a lot of bottle drink options but also a fountain soda machine. They really got it all! They have a lot of coffee options including some rotating specialty lattes. And there's a cute coffee bar to sit and order from. Most importantly I want to highlight the service and staff. I met the owner and her family and they were the kindest and most welcoming people I've ever met. And I was there super early for a latte! In a world full of chain restaurants, it's important to remember to visit your local businesses. It's often filled with hardworking families. I encourage you to give it a try!

So, my wife and I, along with our tween daughter, visited Hilltop Kitchen on a whim last Saturday…read more First impressions were wonderful. The dining room was empty as we came early, and it looked beautiful. The entire restaurant, to the eye, is absolutely a vibe. There was one server on shift at the time and she was very nice and welcoming. We had very high hopes for the meal to come. We were fairly disappointed. It was during a brunch service. Initially ordered the calamari as an appetizer. Yes, calamari as a brunch app is kind of strange however since it was available I ordered it. I typically order this wherever I go, because I execution-wise, it's not the easiest thing to prepare correctly. This app was tiny, as in the serving size. Additionally the calamari itself was super small as well. No nice meaty rings. No crispy tentacles. Just a greasy mess. The dish purports the dipping sauce to be that of a fra diavolo, it was not. It was more like a marinara with chunky bits of aromatics and perhaps a bit of crushed red pepper. It was also very pricey given everything. Even if it were perfect, still on the pricey side. At the same time my daughter ordered French toast. For $18. We are talking $6 a slice of brioche. Wild business, that. As mains, my wife ordered the avocado toast. Which she actually seemed to enjoy, although the bread was soggy, and the other items on the plate severely lacking. I ordered the "lobster" cake eggs Benedict. If this was lobster, then I'm the Mother Theresa. It was, by my palate overly processed canned crab meat. At best, overly processed lobster meat, but I highly doubt that given the taste, color, and texture. The CRAB cake itself was meh, the accompanying potato hash was okay, and the hollandaise sauce was passable if not good. We ordered drinks as well. My lemon drop martinis were pretty good. My wife was dissatisfied with her margarita, then ordered a dirty martini that was okay. We walked out with a tab of nearly $200. To say it was worth the money would be absurd. I hate to be so blatantly honest with this review, but this experience (food and drink-wise) was not one I would recommend.

At first, I wasn't really going to ever write a review here. However, I've now visited this place…read moreenough times in the morning over the last few months that I can write something here. I mainly just come here to grab coffee if I'm driving to work, and that's been a real good find since. I'm honestly impressed you can still have a large coffee for under $3. It's been $2.46 every time I've come. I did also once have their cinnamon roll as well, and even that doesn't break the bank. Really, the main reason why I don't give it five stars is because I haven't had enough items for this deli to really decide if it's worth that fifth star or not, but service is good, price is good, and the coffee is worth the commute every time. Maybe one time I'll come here to grab something else if I need gas on the way home.
