Unfortunately, we found Nodines a complete letdown. We cut them a break since they are newly opened, but wow. Food was awful!!! They didn't have all of the ingredients to make our order, but instead of telling us...they improvised our philly cheese steak sandwiches with red onion and mystery meat. Yuck. We spent $40 on four uneatable sandwiches. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

First learned about this place in our local residential magazine, Northington Living, then happened to see a Groupon offer this week, so we tried it out yesterday.
Fantastic! We will be back for sure.
My husband declared his BLT, "the best BLT I've ever had." He does not say anything like that easily. My chili was delicious and tasted like authentic Tex-Mex chili. My son's wings were devoured, and he didn't care that he needed 7 napkins to clean up his hands. Service was delightful. Prices were reasonable, servings were generous.
They have a little storefront where you can purchase their bacon, sauces, etc.
I can't figure out why this place isn't getting more traffic. The location is a little difficult. You drive by and miss it easily. Their ad in Northington Living definitely caught my eye, but they need to do more social media marketing. I see ads for local restaurants all day long on my Facebook and Instagram feeds (Avon Prime Meats, Luna Pizza, etc.) but nothing from Nodine's. You can't beat social media targeted ads to stay "top of mind" with your local prospects. They're missing out on that front.
We'll be back often - it was a great food experience and a great family meal value.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brian C.Torrington, CT0129Feb 3, 2017
My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch today. I had the pulled pork on a hard roll and she had the BLT. The girl at the counter was helpful and friendly and walked us through the ordering process.
The food came to us fast and the smell and size of the sandwiches were impressive.
Note: The pulled pork sandwich is messy. No hard roll can contain that amount of awesome for too long.
Both sandwiches were amazing and with chips and soda came in at the lower $20's range. Well worth it.
The pulled pork had coleslaw piled on top and was a sweet dream.
The only thing I think that could have added to it would have been a cider vinegar based Carolina sauce to add some sour to the sweetness of the BBQ sauce and the slaw.
I read an article that they plan on adding more to the menu in the coming months so I plan on returning to sample something new.
They also sell some of the packaged products that they sell at their store in Goshen.
As anyone who is familiar with Nodine's products already knows, it's not inexpensive. I think of it as fair priced. I don't mind paying a little extra for the gourmet stuff.
I suggest you give them a try and I dare you to be disappointed. If you are....try McD's down the road. It may be more your speed.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kristyn R.Canton, CT05Mar 2, 2017
As if being greeted by smiling, friendly faces wasn't enough, my family and I were pleasantly surprised with our overall experience. Menu gave great options, food was incredible, but service was out of this world! We'd love to see this small business thrive! Check it out for yourself!!

I've been going to their shop in Goshen for years, and love their food. I've seen in other reviews that some feel it expensive, and frankly, it is a little. That said though, all great things are worth paying for and Nodine's is definitely worth buying, without question. My son and I had the pizza, and we were floored that a meathouse could make such great pie. I will definitely be coming back. If you want a quality meal, at a reasonable price, stop down. They also sell their delicious beef jerky there too.

We've ordered pizza from this location a few times and have gotten similar results each time. The pizza has "promise" but their use of flour on the dough results in your eating paste at some point. There are areas of the crust that are so heavily coated with flour that it mixes with your saliva and creates a paste in your mouth.
Certain toppings are fairly bland (like the sausage), so we avoid those. They need to get the flour issue figured out or we're going to be "former customers" very quickly. And it's too bad because the pizza otherwise is better than many of the surrounding places.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Julie B.West Hartford, CT14436Aug 31, 2017
Please eat here. Please! My family LOVES the food from here and every time we go in it's not busy. I want them to stay around, so please try Nodines! We've never eaten in, but have ordered out several times. Every single meal has been a knockout. Tonight we had the smoked duck over polenta and it was insanely good. The duck was so tender, you could cut it with a spoon. The sauce was rich and mouth watering and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly. The polenta was OUT OF THIS WORLD. My husband loves their wings. They're always cooked crispy and juicy. Every flavor he's had has been delicious and surprising. The flavor profiles aren't common or normal. They're very complex and frankly, I didn't imagine it coming from this place. I've had their meatball sub three times now. The bread isn't my favorite but the meatballs and sauce are super good and this is coming from a critical Italian woman. We've also had their pulled pork and brisket. We buy their packaged bacon every time we go in. PLEASE TRY IT! It's honestly one of the best bacon brands I've had. OMG, I almost forgot about the cheesy artichoke dip I got tonight. It was so yummy...a true mouth party. Everyone who has worked there has always been nice, down to earth and willing to chat with us. I need this restaurant to stay around, folks. Go try it for yourself!

Went there for a late lunch on the weekend, and it was delicious! Large portions, lots of flavor, can't complain about anything! Chicken sandwich & meatloaf special hit the spot
