Mikkelson's Market - Review - Reynoldstown - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"The roulette wheel of featured specials makes Mikkelson’s Market a solid option to utlize when your day-to-day gets boring. Finding the market isn't hard since the white brick building stands out like an old-school bodega in between rows of modern homes in Reynoldstown. Inside, shelves are stocked with pantry necessities, prepared foods, and a few international goods like octopus-flavored chips and winegum. On the bottom shelf, a record player soundtracks your shopping experience (Fleetwood Mac is on regular rotation). But as much as we love Stevie Nicks jams and Swedish candies, we're mainly here for their weekly hot food specials. It could be meats prepared on the grill out front. Sometimes it’s killer sandwiches on bread from Alon’s Bakery, like a mushroom melt dripping with smoked gouda. Other times, it's excellent fried chicken biscuits, beef stew, or a banh mi that made us want to stalk their Instagram for the next announced menu return. Food Rundown Prime Rib Melt Two slices of toasted, buttery white bread hold thinly shaved beef, carmelized onions, pickled mustard seeds, and a light layer of horseradish cream. It’s a hefty portion of beef that’s so tender you barely need to chew it. photo credit: Juli Horsford Fried Fish On Alon’s Lobster Roll The soft roll from Alon’s Bakery already makes this sandwich elite. Factor in the addition of three pieces of lightly fried halibut, pickles, lemony slaw, and a slathering of tangy remoulade, and you'll get why we're actively petitioning for this fish sandwich's menu permanency. photo credit: Juli Horsford Southern Cap Shrooms Mushroom Melt The mushrooms are tender and juicy and get tons of flavor from a hefty dollop of confit tomatoes and garlic. The melted gouda and burrata hold everything together so prepare for some nice cheese pulls after every bite. photo credit: Juli Horsford" - Juli Horsford
