Isaac greeted my friend and I when we arrived for breakfast and recommended the corned beef hash…read morewith eggs on top. It's homemade and was a really good recommendation! The corned beef is large chunks, not small diced pieces found in most commercial and canned hash. The potatoes, peppers, and onions gave a nice texture and flavor. I had it topped with two over medium eggs which were perfectly cooked. As I was eyeing the French toast, he gave me a single piece which included their fruit infused whipped cream and was really, really good! That might be my entree next time. My friend got the crepes and her face was doing happy expressions while she was eating. My new best friend Maria kept my coffee mug full-she visited the table frequently to make sure my mug never got low nor cold. She also took care to clean the table promptly as plates were finished. Now if my kids could learn that... oh wait, this is a diner review. The ambiance is cute and chic. There was easy access to accommodate wheel chairs and they have their menu clearly marked for gluten free available and vegan options (most of the menu). The menu is on the fancier side; they will prepare whatever someone wants (e.g. if someone just wants 2 eggs and bacon, they can easily do that). The location is on Main St. so parking is hit or miss. If you are nearby and want something good, this is a good option!

We drove all the way from the South Shore for one of the "Grand Tasting" events at Life Love…read moreCheese, but unfortunately, the trip was a complete letdown. The atmosphere felt chaotic and poorly organized from the moment we arrived. In addition, several vendors and offerings promised in the event marketing were nowhere to be found. For a ticketed "grand tasting," the cheese selection was surprisingly basic, focusing on standard fare like basic cheddar and colby jack rather than unique, artisanal varieties. The pairings were scattered randomly around the store like an unintended scavenger hunt, and the drink tastings felt rushed and performative amidst the surrounding disorganization. The service only made matters worse. The store's staff appeared visibly stressed and uncoordinated; while waiting in line to use the restroom after our long drive, two separate team members approached to scold us for being inside the store early. To make matters more uncomfortable, we overheard the owner nearly reprimand an employee before stopping herself when she noticed customers were nearby. Basic inquiries were met with subtle side-eye and dismissive energy, making us feel unwelcome throughout the visit. A feeling further compounded as people of color in an environment where we felt distinctly out of place. We left very hungry and thoroughly disappointed after paying for a ticketed experience. We won't be returning.

The pricing is moderate here and they also offer DoorDash delivery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating along the wall and front windows, plus a gumball machine. I ordered the fan favorite Turkey Apple Cheddar ($12 plus tax) making it Fat Larry-Double Meat (add $2) which was made to order promptly and wrapped to go. The sandwich had plenty of deli sliced roast turkey, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, apples, mayo, & an onion fig jam between toasted marble rye (my choice of bread). This sandwich was amazing and I will have to also try out their other sandwiches on my next visits to Fat Larry's.

I usually get an American or Italian sub and they tend to be excellent, well-stuffed with the good meats, and on nice firm sub rolls. A reviewer claimed the rolls are old but I've never once gotten a stale one. It's possible the reviewer confused good crunchy Italian rolls with day-old rolls. As a connoisseur of good Italian bread, I look for rolls that are crunchy outside and firm inside and DiCara's are exactly that. They have a friendly staff who make the subs very quickly and never make a mistake on the order. The store has a lot of other food, for example, olive salads and tuna salad which my Mom liked. Also sometimes, you can find various cuttings left over from when the salami sticks near their end sealed up in plastic. Yum! They also have a number of imported products (not all from Italy). I like their imported pastas such as the big Rigatoni and Fusilli. They have some spices too--I always get the Rosemary from Cento. Oddly, they also have an excellent variety of potato chip brands--Utz, Cape Cod, Wachusett, Zapp's, Dirty, and sometimes Wise. Finally, they carry some nice cupcakes & desserts from nearby bakeries.

We used Professors Market for our daughters christening yesterday and I cannot recommend them enough! Lisa was so attentive to what we wanted, she took so much time out of her busy schedule to check back in on our order over the past few weeks and make any changes we requested- she even tweaked the order for us last minute when we wanted to change the amount of some of the salads. The food was incredibly fresh, all of our guests were RAVING about it! We ordered the southwest power salad, edamame salad, pasta salad, chicken salad, turkey roll ups and vegetable and hummus roll ups for about 30 people. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Everyone kept saying how lucky we are to have such a delicious restaurant in town with such good fresh food!Thank you Lisa and PM for a wonderful catering order! read more

Ya know, I once navigated to this place on accident before? Yeah. Still not sure what my GPS was…read moredoing that day. Because I normally go to the one in Salem. But on this day, I thought to myself, "Self, I really hate making that busy-as-hell left turn on South Broadway in Salem. What if we took a journey to the Andover location instead?" And so it was. I enter this cozy little restaurant carefully tucked against a slightly submerged parking garage. Although, I probably shouldn't say "little" because the interior was noticeably larger than its Salem counterpart. It's also noisy AF in there when it gets busier than a New York subway. So naturally, I ordered my usual to-go (a Country Classic with an extra egg and hashbrowns for those who don't know). Only it wasn't *quite* ready on time. Which, to be fair, is kind of a minor point. Thing is, they have to shout your name whenever your order is finally ready. This in and of itself can prove to be quite the challenge when bellowing atop the already roaring crowd of customers impeding the otherwise accessible pickup shelves. I'll do my best to describe the interior since I wasn't really able to take pictures. But try to imagine an L-shaped dining area with the longest part hosting a row of countertop seats facing the windows. Beyond that sits a rather modest dining area with a few more tables. Next to that sits the gender neutral restrooms. It's strange and cramp, particularly when the place is packed tighter than a sardine can. Sufficed to say, I'm not much a fan of the interior design here. Being the partial recluse that I am, I offer the following best practice for a place so riotous: mobile order that shiz, cuh! Seriously. I had to put in my noise cancelling earbuds to appease my misophonia. The good news is....the food is still awesome. The eggs? Creamier than crème fraîche. Taters? Eh, I don't why...but these seemed way more seasoned the very first time I tried them. Fortunately, they actually pair rather well with their refined version of ketchup. The bacon? Well...let's just say I wish it were served well done. Not sure if I'm able to request that. But I'll scope out my options next time and get back to you all. That's it though. Nice place, WAY easier to get to than its Salem counterpart, but a bit too cramp and noisy for my taste which means....I'll likely ever dine in here. It's all good though, because I'm still giving Crack'd Kitchen & Coffee in Andover 4 Country Classics with all the fixins out of 5.
