Nick's Grocery & Deli

Get the tamales!

Went out to Marshall this morning to peruse a furniture/antique shop on the recommendation of the owner of the antique shop I visited in The Plains earlier in the week. But it did not occur to me that the place might not be open today - and as luck would have it - it was indeed closed. So while in Marshall, I grabbed some grub.

Pulled into Nick's - what is amusing about this little old country store is that outside - they've got one of these massive lighted highway traffic warning type signs on a trailer - blinking off the various specials! I saw the one for their breakfast sandwiches and was lured in.

Once inside - you note that the place is an old time general store/convenience store - in the back is the deli area. I walked up and the proprietor greeted me with a smile and a pair of tongs - he handed me one hot, thick cut wedge of steak fry - I thought that was a nice touch. He did that for each person who came in to order food.

I ordered a breakfast sandwich - sausage, egg, and cheese on wheat toast. I was amused that one of my bread options was to have the sandwich on a hamburger bun!

They had all kinds of hot foods available as well as sandwiches - I was sorely tempted by their meatloaf - next time I am in Marshall I will have to get the Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. A large guy in overalls came in and ordered that - apparently it is quite tasty!

I talked with them while they were making my food - they also own the Nick's Deli off of U.S. 29 in Warrenton, VA. I took a pic of them - see the pix of the business.

I sat in my car and wolfed down the sandwich - it was very good - I should have asked them to butter the toast in the sandwich - that would have made it a 5 star sandwich!
