    The Cuban
    Diane D.

    Cute roadside place Shared a Cuban and it was FANTASTIC! Stick with what she's known for!- the panini Cuban was done perfectly. Hubby couldn't resist a chocolate chip cookie but that was stale so I don't recommend.

    Adorable outside and safe for covid19 conscious!! Thank you!  Cash only tho

    Get the CUBAN! Omg it's so good. Another tourist was there (being socially distant and safe) raving about it as he was from Miami and found it even better than down in FL. We had to postpone a trip to Key West and were blown away at how tasty this spot is We'll be back! Ps CASH ONLY !

    We split the Cuban Panini. Large portion. Found this place randomly on our way to VT. So glad we did. Delicious Panini! Very clean. Family owned and operated. Friendly. Worth the stop. Highly recommend. Outdoor seating too if you have dogs like we do...

    I ordered turkey with American cheese only sandwiches. I received two turkey with Mayo and cheddar cheese. My children can not have dairy products, so I wasted money on these for nothing! Very expensive and took forever.

    The Charlie Russo! So much flavor!

    The restaurant/Country Store is quite interesting. Located in beautiful Jackson, NH and recommended…read moreto try from Yelp. There is plenty of parking with indoor or outside seating. A true American old country store. When you walk in, there is so much to look at, many jars of different pickled items. Knick Nacks, cards and such. There is a great bakery case next to the deli case where you order your sandwich. I believe there are twelve different sandwiches. I got the number eight which was a grilled panini filled with deliciousness...chicken, pesto, baby spinach, and roasted red peppers. My boyfriend got a turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. He loved it! I can't remember what number his was. They call your name when ready. You can grab any type of chips, beer, wine, or soda and then pay. Plenty of seating inside. Very quaint. Can't wait to go back again!

    J-Town was amazing. Great service and food. I had a sausage egg and cheese on an english muffin and…read moreevery element was spot on. The homemade breakfast sausage gets a 10/10 and THANK YOU for using real eggs for the breakfast sandwiches. An angel loses its wings every time an egg patty is heated in a microwave. I also had the jerk chicken wrap for lunch. I was worried about getting a wrap as it was going to sit for a few hours until lunch time, but it held up perfectly. And it wasn't dry either! The chicken seasoning was very good. Will be coming back!!

    This review is tough to write. I've heard so many people tell me how much they love this place...I…read morejust didn't. It's a cute place inside - exposed beam, warm decor and inviting space. A small bar as you enter that was full when we came in. We sat at a small table in the bar area. Everyone was very nice and our waitress was attentive enough - but she seemed a bit busy. But all was fine service wise. So....the food. It's weird. Like trying too hard to be different but just didn't hit the mark for me. I see bread on a menu and I get excited! So immediately I ordered the Parmesan bread with dill pickle butter. The bread was warm and I enjoyed it but the butter with dill pickle just didn't work for me. Lots of other things to me could have complemented the bread better. Then we order the lettuce wraps, they were ok. My friend ordered the duck and I tried it and we both really liked it! The vegetables were good! My sirloin....the steak itself was good despite being a tad overcooked for medium rare. Something on the plate had a curry flavor - it just didn't all go together well. Then the lemon ricotta cheesecake....we didn't taste any lemon, it was thick and weirdly dry for a cheesecake. It also had freeze dried something on top....we actually weren't sure what. Some bright spots - the food quality! You can tell that these are top notch high quality ingredients, and the cocktails! They were yummy! I just don't like the weird combos and what (to me) feels like being weird for the sake of being different versus just being good. Since I only come up here a few times a season I likely will go to our other favorites or try new spots.
