Excellent meats! Got a Christmas Swedish ham this year from them, and it was not only amazing--but so hard to find. I'm so glad that they are doing them. The ham was around $130, but was almost 22 pounds, so I'd say an excellent price for such a high quality product. Wow, will order again. read more

Nodine's Smokehouse - Swedish ham before crumb top - Smokehouse Near Me - Goshen, Connecticut

ORIGIN: Ronald and Johanne Nodine began the family-owned smoked meats speciality shop in 1969. LOCATION: The shop is in a small wood-clad building set back from a rural country road. Products are processed in USDA-certified facility in neighboring Torrington. CONCEPT: The shop sells a wide variety of smoked meats, including pork, duck, and chicken, with a small inventory of smoked fish. Meats for home smoking or grilling, such as boar and venison burgers, are also available. Sandwiches are available at the counter. ATMOSPHERE: The shop is small, requiring customers to make a loop around the perimeter of the shop before returning to the check out counter with packages of meats at hand. EXPERIENCE: I was in the area during holiday season and picked up smoked bacon and smoked duck breast. These items greatly enhanced the holiday meals I prepared for family. TIPS: Although expensive due to the necessity of chilled and expedited shipping packages, Nodine's products can be purchased from their website and shipped. read more

Nice homemade style stuff! I've been past before and wanted to stop; i dont live close by. I'm glad i did great house made pastrami sliced very thin. Home made tasty cole slaw with a hint of horseradish, potato salad that actually tasted like potatoes and macaroni salad that was appropriately brined like my Mom made. Great work! I'll be back when i'm in town. read more

Terrific sandwiches. Thanks to Yelp users for highlighting Nodine's. We would never had found it otherwise.

I love stopping for sandwiches at this tucked away place! The roast beef special is my favorite but the real gems are the prepared foods. I love the chicken pot pies but finally broke away & tried the lasagna- fantastic! Also big enough for multiple portions for me Almost didn't review because I don't want anyone else buying out my potential future dinner. Keep up the great work! And thanks for my dinners when it's been too long a day to cook read more

Stopped for lunch and found they were closed! After talking with people in the lot who were waiting, found out they had no power that morning but promised to be open soon. We waited! So glad we did because the chicken bacon ranch on a grinder roll made to order as we waited was out of this world. Picked up some smoked kielbasa and some bacon ketchup on this trip. Will definitely be returning. read more

Trust your GPS, because when you arrive at 39 North Street you won't see Nodine's Smokehouse at all. If you're paying attention, what you will see are some signs directing you to a driveway in an ordinary looking neighborhood, and if you take that driveway you'll see the Smokehouse maybe 75 feet away. You will definitely not see it from the street. I've had Nodine's Smokehouse bookmarked for two years, basically because I seldom get out to Litchfield County. I remember Yelpers raving about their beef jerky and bacon and the like. At the Goshen Stampede today, I passed a booth that sold dozens of kinds of jerky, but I summoned up my willpower and resisted because I knew we were pretty close to Nodine's and figured this was my golden opportunity to check out their Yelp famous jerky. Truth is.... I was underwhelmed. At $48 a pound, I expected to be wowed. They offered one variety and I thought it was just ordinary and nothing special. We also picked up a pound of their Applewood Bacon, and in fairness, I have to say that bacon was freaking great ! . All in all, our quarter pound of jerky and pound of bacon ran us $22.40. If you're a bacon lover, you'll probably love Nodine's version. read more

Had a great pastrami Reuben, made super hot and fresh as I watched. The price was fair for the amount of food. Worth a repeat visit.

Great sandwiches and the best bacon on the planet. They are worth the trip just for the bacon.

So sadly, even though I've been in Goshen for years, today was the first time I've been to Nodine's. It's so cute! There's not a lot of room in the store, it's not a sit down place, but it has all the fun, local, food things you never knew you needed. I've never seen so many smoked cheeses in my life, and I'd like to try all of them. New Year's will be the perfect opportunity to try out their sweet and hot wings. They have a deli as well, they had posted about six sandwich offerings but I'm sure would customize as they have available. They did have some premade items that looks and smelled delicious - sausage and cheese baked into bread? The only downside is they posted each have onions, so if you like onions, this is the place for you. The two women working were really nice, offered to help me find anything, and made the adventure very pleasant. When you go down the driveway (because Nodine's is located behind a big white house), the shop is on your left. Be careful coming in and out, because there really is only room for one car at a time (especially in the snow). read more

My family went to the ActionLife Zoo and it was way past lunchtime. My neice looked up Yelp reviews, the resulting choice was Nodine's Smokehouse. It was a great choice; the staff was very friendly and accommodating all our questions. The sandwiches and baked goods were outstanding. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Even my 5-year-old grandnephew, who is a fussy eater, finished half his sandwich in record time. Since it's only a takeout shop we went back to the Zoo to eat at their picnic area. Next time we'll get our picnic lunch ahead of time! Definitely will be back to this hidden gem! read more

Great Easter ham! Don't love the styrofoam packaging though, there are some recyclable options available now!

Bacon I shouldn't have to say anything else, should I? This place has some of the best bacon I've ever eaten. Besides the incredible flavor(s), this bacon holds it shape & size in the pan. They have lots of other great pork and meat products here, along with smoked cheeses & fish (get some fish!) and assorted groceries. While my review may be biased because I'm visiting the land of my birth, I know that plenty of folks come here from far & wide just to eat a sandwich & buy a slab or two of bacon. Join the fun! read more

If you like smoked meat, cheeses then nodines is your place. They have an amazing selection of delicous things including a great variety of bacon. There beef jerky is some of the best and you buy it by the pound. There sandwiches are delicous as well. The pastrami might have been some of the tastiest i have ever had. They are very welcoming and friendly in there was well. read more

Always pleasant and helpful. I have not once seen the employees without a face mask. I have sent their gift packages over the years to many and always well done. I drive from New Milford to the store in Goshen when I want to showcase local businesses and a great sandwich. Their political beliefs...well last time I checked we are living in a country where we are free to voice our political opinions. read more

They don't wear masks while cutting the meat and they just put Trump signs out front. Too bad--they just lost a long time customer.

A long time favorite. Perhaps the very best jerky I've ever had and worth every cent. Just a neat little shop that holds delicious treats. I want to try everything every time I'm there. read more

The locale of this place is worth 5 stars. Set in beautiful CT countryside near Cornwall Bridge, Kent and Litchfield. Nodines is a tiny little shop packed with smokey goodness. I head up here at least twice a year and guaranteed on Good Friday to get my smoked spiral cut ham. After 15 years of making the trip I've never been disappointed. My family and friends look forward to me serving up this pre-cooked-reheat-it-in-the-oven masterpiece at Easter. While I'm there I pick up a supply of slab bacon (4lb for only $28). I'm a big fan of the pepper bacon, but my partner prefers the apple smoked - so I HAVE to get both. I've also tried their game selections which include venison sausages and buffalo burgers. I don't want to get too smoked out so I pass over the cheese, fish and chicken selections - but if you're inclined it's good know it's there. And as you're cashing out be sure to ask for some beef jerky. It ain't cheep at $35lb (but that's a lot of jerky, jerky) but it's a chewy smokey delicious manly snack that you shouldn't pass up. read more

The best sandwich EVER!!!!!!! Try the Rachel, you won't be disappointed. If you are, you don't know what a good sandwich is. But don't hesitate to ask for extra dressing. It's a little messy, but that is what makes it soooooo good. read more

My mouth is watering just thinking about the jerky!! This is one of the best smokehouses I have ever been too. The beef jerky is unbelievable! Chewy, smoky, deliciousness. I love that I consistently see Nodines on the menu at fine dining establishments. It's a small local place with great cheese, sausage and smoked meats. I travel up here a few times a year and always buy a ton of jerky! Go go go! read more

Great smokehouse! Lots of choices for meats including pheasant, kielbasa, bacon and more. Every time I'm in the area I have to stop by and pick up some jerky. It has gotten a little pricey over the years but good things cost good money. read more

OMG This place is fantastic! You know those places where people tell you, "You have to try this place I went to" and "it's a little off the beaten path" - this is it! We had the Rueben and BBQ Beef sandwiches, both were killer! Definitely worth the drive. read more

I have lived near and have been going to nodines for 30 years. Today we brought friends from out of state bragging about how good the jerky is. The jerky was so rubbery, it was like chewing an elastic band with no flavor. No one could eat it. What a disappointing visit. read more

Excellent smoked meats, I've used their chorizo for Portuguese kale soup, andouille for red beans and rice and their English bangers are spot on! All of these items you can get at some of the local markets in the northwest corner but please go to their store in Goshen and pick up one of the house made sandwiches... perfection read more

I tried their "Double Smoked Bacon". Nodine's should be fined for fraudulent advertising. Double smoked? It didn't even tasteSINGLE smoked. You can find the same quality of bacon at any supermarket for much less. I'm baffled by the reviews of how "smoky" their meats are --- maybe New Englanders have super-sensitive palates that can detect nano-particles of smoke? Nodine's would go bankrupt in the the rest of the country. I suggest you try these bacons: Benton's, Father's, Scott's and Nueske's. Now, those are smoky goodness! read more

Nodines smoked meats and cheeses are excellent. I love the smoked duck, the pheasant, the andouille, the venison sausage, and the smoked fish. Their corn nuts are wonderful. Their chicken pies are also good and convenient. Their coldslaw is also terrific. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

A let down. Bought beef jerky and it was so dry and overdone it crumbled in my mouth. Didn't have much flavor to speak of. And $40 a pound? Really? I was expecting the best jerky I've ever had. Not sure what the hoopla is over this place. Owner/manager can't bother to look up when answering questions. Oh well, there's got to be a great place in CT for jerky. Sadly, this was not it. read more

It's ok...just that really. We stopped in (after we finally found it) to get lunch and some items to bring home. The sandwiches they had were decent, nothing amazing, small but overall flavorful. We also ordered one or two sides to go with our meal, along with some of their 'famous' (and very overpriced) beef jerky and a package of thick cut bacon to bring home. The beef jerky was pretty bad. Very dry and unevenly flavored. Definitely something I'd never get again. The bacon (which we've since cooked up) was pretty good and probably the best thing we got from there. The service was slow and very forgetful. We got home only to notice they never gave us the other sides we ordered. Not sure if we'd come back...maybe give it one more shot, but it's definitely not the be all and end all when it comes to smokehouses. read more

Excellent smoky goodness - chorizo, andouille, venison summer sausage, smoked cheeses. Seek out Nodine's and get some.

Just got home from the Goshen fair. Tried their beef jerky after hearing how good it was. Not sure if it was a bad batch but it had no salt, sweetness, spice...nothing. No flavor at all except for a slightly sour taste. 4 friends i was with all who love beef jerky tried it and said the same. I was about to send it back but figured all my friends took so much of it from trying it, that they'd probably say "if its so bad then why is so much of it gone"? It costed $12 for 3 strips! Most expensive and the absolute worst BY FAR beef jerky ive ever had. Had to write a review since it was such a waste of $12. read more

Nodine's has always had quality food. is it better than other brands? maybe, but teh fact that their local and family owned is a great plus. the real star is their beef jerky. it's like somethink clint eastwood would eat in teh movie "outlaw josey wales," real old-school traditional. but its pricey at $36 a pound. definitely better than any other jerky, but expensive. teh rest of their food is really good and their sandwiches are great. teh cost is the real reason i'm not givng a 4 star. def would give them 4+ stars if the prices were a little better. IF you are in teh area you should try. read more
