    Angry Chicken
    John P.

    Ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, angry chicken sandwich, and corned beef cabbage soup. My wife enjoyed her wrap and I really enjoyed the sandwich. It had a huge piece of crispy chicken with nice heat from the condiments. The soup was excellent and you could tell everything is homemade. The coleslaw and potato salad were also good.

    A cute little spot that's a must try. I love the customer service as well as the variety of the menu. There are tons of sandwiches and salads to choose from. I've had both breakfast and lunch and really enjoyed it.

    Chicken Salad on Gluten-free Bread w/Fries
    Ian L.

    What an excellent spot for lunch. Not much to say other than the fact this place really makes you feel like you're in one's home. Well I mean it looks like a house from the outside. Everybody was helpful, friendly and informative especially the lady who took my order. I was able to get my basic chicken salad on gluten-free bread w/french fries and absolutely no issues at all. The sandwhich had excellent structure, it was litterally picture perfect. The chicken salad was really good. Tasty, not mushy. French Fries were good. Really the only thing that lacked a little as some of them were on the very soft side. No biggie. Just be careful as when they're soft they could get super oily and greasy (etc.) Other than that, it's cheap, they have options, the food is good quality and they make you feel at home.

    Very disappointed in this place. I got a sandwich with potatoe salad, the sandwich as you can see from my picture had more mozzarella then meat. I mean literally looks like two slices of meat and the potatoe salad had ZERO salt, pepper or flavor of any kind. For $13 I expect a meal from a deli and this was literally smaller then my hand with barely any meat. I feel scammed out of my hard earned money and will most likely take days if not weeks to recover from such a emotionally traumatic experience. I will say the woman working behind the counter were very kind so they get a star for that. Whoever ownes this place has no business calling it a deli. They should rename it to "sandwiches for ants" because that's the only thing that will feel full after dining here. SHAAAAAAAAME! SHAME SHAME SHAME

    Yum!! Great sandwich options. I had the keeney club which is basically a club sandwich with avocado and garlic mayo. It soo good. I love their side options, Very creative and all slightly different than the usual. I loved the herb pasta salad- it had chunks of sun dried tomatoes. Everything was perfect, I'll definitely be back.

    Solid spot for a quick sandwich, and the young woman working the counter was really friendly. Parking is luck of the draw (very linited), and the sandwiches all sound awesome. I had #1 and found it to be quite good, but not amazing, and a bit pricey for what it is. I'll be back to try others eventually, but can't see myself going out of my way any time soon.

    The George Washington. Roast beef arugula cheddar and Apple slices with horseradish. Yum!

    Working on trying to dine at some of the local establishments in Wethersfield, I can finally cross The Cove Deli off my list. I had recently tried them at a Taste of Wethersfield event and was looking forward to try something more than the samples they offered at the event. The store itself is quite small so I think that if I were to have gone in the winter it might have been a problem if I went around lunch time but luckily it was later in the afternoon AND the weather was awesome so I was able to sit out side and people watch. The employees were working hard and even at about 2pm they were doing a brisk dine in as well as take out business. Pleasant and polite - the girl that assisted me was helpful in helping me decide on a sandwich. She put the order in, I paid and then sat outside for my order to be brought to me. I ordered the George Washington - roast beef, cheddar, arugula (I subbed for lettuce), apple and horseradish on pumpernickel along with a bag of pretzels and their herbed pasta salad. It was not long before my sandwich was brought out and although I enjoyed it I thought that for $9.50 my sandwich was lacking in its filling. It was good but I was expecting and left wanting more. I understand that quality ingredients cost more, but really all I was asking for was another piece (or 2 of roast beef slices) I loved the herbed pasta salad but again - I was left wanting more. All in all a nice place and I will be back, especially as a place to sit outside and people watch but it will not be a place that I immediately think to go when looking for a place to grab a sandwich.

    Now at $9.50

    NYPD is probably Rocky Hill's best kept secret. From the outside, the restaurant is very…read moreunassuming. You expect, like the other establishments in the plaza, to find a small cafe style restaurant. When you walk in, you are surprised with fun decor and spacious dining area. Everyone who has gone with me says the same thing "I would never expect it to look like this based on the outside." As for food, they have the Best Reuben sandwich in Rocky Hill. Fries are crispy and price on point. Every meal I've had there has been great! The only downside is table service during lunch is very slow. So make sure you have a full hour to burn if you go for lunch.

    So happy I finally caught this restaurant when they were open!…read moreI'm now making an effort to get out of the house early to catch them. Firstly, this restaurant is bigger than it looks! Secondly, the latte, cocktail & mocktail options are amazing, along with the many many options of food. I've heard that food from restaurants with large menus are mediocre...this DOES NOT apply here. My party of 2 tried breakfast & lunch options. Both were fresh & so flavorful, especially that homemade syrup I had with the French Egg Holes & Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (3). The home fries came out & were seasoned to perfection. Also, not 1 hard potato to be found. The over medium egg in my thick french toast was actually medium! And they gave me the wholes that were cut from the center of the bread. The pancakes were so fluffy & the icing delish. Tasted exactly like a cinnamon roll. We also ordered 2 different mimosas. The cranberry & the classic. Both were made crispy cold, with quality juices & came garnished. The Salted Cinnamon Mocha Latte, was velvet. It wasn't overly sweet, it wasn't watery or overly bold. I was surprised about how tall the cup was...I drank all of it. It wasn't served scorching hot, so I could sip right away. The Greek Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup was lovely. Typically, soup is watery & looks like it was the last bits, but this had chunky meat, the broth had flavor with hints of lemon. You could see the herbs. This didn't scream, I'm from a can at all. The service was also nice & the waitresses didn't mind that we couldn't make our decisions right away. She & her counterpart offered suggestions & were very kind with checking on us. At the end of the meal, we couldn't help but order some take home from the lunch menu for later. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    Good fresh sandwiches, little pricy…read more Came here because the good burger place was full up. Opted to get a quick sandwich for the road instead. The place is small, and the staff were very much in work mode. Not very friendly but efficient. I ordered the Italian combo and the girlfriend got a custom made. The staff got the sandwiches made quickly and I was back in the car in no time. It's a good sub, but not a 14 dollar sub. There's a decent amount of meat and it was fresh. But the upcharge for the grinder roll and the portion was pricy for what I got. Would've liked to see some more veggies on the roll to bulk it out. Or some spreads to amp the flavor up. It's a good stop for a basic sandwich. But it's not as good as some other places I've been to in that area. It works for what it is

We politely asked the staff member to lower the volume, and she did. Our sandwiches arrived, but as soon as two other customers left, Bad Bunny came on full blast again. We asked her to lower the volume once more, as it felt more like a nightclub than a sandwich shop. Eventually, we decided to leave, said our goodbyes, and went next door to the cigar shop, where we could still hear the loud music thumping through the walls. Honestly, it was pretty obnoxious. As for the sandwiches.... Average

    Pulled in on this Wednesday in August at about 2:00 PM…read more Rocky Hill Jersey Mike's was hopping, even though it was the end of lunch I was quickly waited on, and I ordered my favorite, with a new twist.... And if you want to try a sandwich that explodes with flavors you've gotta follow me on this. I ordered the Italian sub, Mike's Way, with spices and wet Now here's where it gets really interesting and the explosion happens On top of the sandwich construction, I asked for jalapeño peppers and banana peppers, finished off with pickles And the plain piece of bread that's gonna be the top piece, I added mayonnaise and the spicy relish Once these flavors mesh together, this is possibly the best combo there is at any grinder shop in the world in my humble opinion The explosion of flavors and crunch is simply amazing. Done this way it is possibly the greatest tasting grinder ever constructed. The heat, the banana peppers, the hot relish, oil/vinegar wetness, Italian spices freshness to the bread, flavor in the meats and cheese, with a pickle on top, oh my! Thank you jersey Mike's Rocky Hill, you made this guest feel like a king. The sandwich was constructed with love and attention, adding that smile and Good nature twist from the employee. Is this location my favorite? , you bet it is ! I was so excited about ordering the sandwich, I forgot to check in. And then while consuming this sandwich, I got totally distracted and forgot to take pictures of my experience. This is how good these sandwiches are.
