Marilyn's

Hubby and I went out this afternoon for a little joy ride in his new (to him) Miata and noticed a sign on the road advertising healthy food. Beings as we both like to eat health AND delicious food, and the fact that we were both hungry, we decided to stop and give it a try.

Lisa is the proprietor (she's a big-time Marilyn Monroe fan) and she will lovingly prepare you a salad, panini, or wrap to order. She offers 17 different wraps/paninis and 6 salads, but, as mentioned in Nancy's review, she will custom make the salad, panini, or wrap of your dreams. We both went with a wrap (she has a variety of wraps available, including tomato basil, spinach, and even GF!). Hubby went with the Vegetarian (tomato, cucumber, red onion, roasted red peppers, feta, and hummus), and I had Marilyn's Chicken (grilled chicken breast, tomato, mozzarella, and herb mayo). Lisa threw both on the panini grill for a few minutes, something I've never had done with a wrap before. Delicious! I'm normally not a big fan of wraps because they taste so darn doughy, but the time on the panini press took that doughy taste away.

Marilyn's also offers a limited breakfast menu as well as family-sized comfort meals to go (think shepard's pie, mac & cheese, pot pies, and lasagna). They serve up to 8 people for between $25-$30. An excellent deal for a meal made with love.

Order at the counter and Lisa will bring your meal to your table. There's even outdoor seating available, but only 1 or 2 small tables for two. Be sure to try one of over a dozen different flavor's of Hosmer Soda, made in Willimantic, CT!

Closed Monday's.
