Hamilton Street Market — Restaurant in New London

There is one thing and one thing only you're going to do here: Get an amazing grinder. Sure, they have other sandwiches that are good, and an array of breakfast items and homemade mayo-based salads that are also top-notch, but their grinders are legendary in an area that literally invented the grinder (really, look it up).

They're absolutely huge and crammed full of fresh ingredients. The mother-and-daughter team that runs the place are friendly and provide rapid fire service... necessary in a tiny place that routinely has lines out the door.

Be aware of the one drawback: Hamilton Market closes at 3 pm and does not open on weekends. This place is strictly breakfast and lunch, and most of the clientele consists of folks on their way to work or on their break.

Hamilton Market Deli is an absolute hidden gem! As a newcomer to Connecticut from Massachusetts, I’m so happy I found this local deli and will definitely be a regular. I ordered an egg and cheese wrap with some added deli meat (a bit of a weird request, but they were totally cool with it), and it was delicious and the perfect size. I also grabbed a large tub of their potato salad, and wow—it’s amazing and totally hit the spot!

This is the kind of small business where they know you by name, and it’s clearly a local favorite. You can’t beat the friendly service, great food, and welcoming atmosphere. Their grinders are top-notch, and I can’t wait to come back for their March specials. We should all be supporting local markets like this—if you’re in the area, definitely...

My wife and I along with a great many friends have been going here since the 80's and, they still make the best grinders in New London County. Even their side dishes are very good.

Now, let me warn you. This family does grinders right so, if you want a real grinder, you need to go here. Fellows, bring your best appetite because, your going to love this. Around this time of the year about the 1st week in November, they also take orders for home made special "T" baked pies.

Think about it ladies, no more standing over that hot oven baking for Thanksgiving. These pies are made with a great deal of love fresh fruit and a taste to remember. Hamilton Street Market does it right!!! Don't let the building fool you because, great things come out of...
