Stoltzfus Sausage Sandwiches — Restaurant in New Castle

The New Castle Farmer's Market was one of those places early on I was eyeing to check out when I moved out to Delaware. This especially includes the whole wing that is Stoltzfus' different shops. For my first time here, I decided to have some breakfast as the market opened. Being a sausage sandwich shop, I was definitely expecting some sort of breakfast offering. This is something they definitely offer in addition to a lunch menu. For that morning, I had their breakfast special which is a sausage with egg...and optionally cheese, onions and peppers...on a sausage roll, served with a hashbrown and drink for around $10. You can also choose between a mild sausage and a spicy one; given how hit-and-miss sausage can be for me, I stuck with mild. The sausage was well-cooked, juicy and just about the right about of snap from the casing and the eggs were fluffy and fresh...but maybe needs a little bit of salt to taste. The roll does a great job holding up the sausage and fixings. The only shortfall was that the hashbrown was a little greasy and perhaps a little small for a side; won't hold it against them that much as hashbrowns aren't the easiest form of potato to keep grease-free. There is a sitting area behind their stand behind Stoltzfus' bakery stand so you can sit and enjoy that sausage or their other fare including other breakfast dishes. The atmosphere...it's a Farmer's Market so I don’t over think it. It simple yet functional and feels like how a market stall should. I might come by for their lunch menu sometime (which I believe is served from when the market opens except on Sunday when the Stoltzfus stalls are closed). But for breakfast, definitely give them a try. Pro tip: be sure to pick up a pint of juice from the nearby juice counter...

The New Castle Farmers Market has a large selection of foods to eat.

Today I settled with Stoltzfus Sausage Sandwiches. I have to say. These sausage sandwiches are the real deal. The bread was nice and soft and the sausage had a crispness on the exterior while keeping its juicyness on the inside. Mine had grilled onions and a sauce. (No cheese) 😋 The fries had a good balance of salt. (No extra salt needed) The macaroni salad was ok. It wasn't traditional Amish but it had a nice peppery spice. Pretty balanced if you ask me.

A friend of mine had a plain cheese steak. (No pictures) She said the meat was flavored and seasoned well but she wasn't moved by it. The cheese didn't complement the sandwich. She said it just seemed like it was two entities rather than one sandwich.

Customer service was great. Everyone was smiling in the back and it seemed like everyone wanted to be there and was happy to serve.

Overall I'll...

I have been patronzing ths sandwich shop for decades since it opened. It used to be simply the best, but it has gone downhill over the last 5 or so years. The food is just okay now. In the last few years or so, you are lucky to get any peppers in their "peppers" and onions topping, and the prices have gottten riduclous. You can get a better and cheaper sausage sandwhich at Helen's...
