🍕 Rocko’s Modern Reviews — Stop #5 Hamilton’s on Main

We walked in and were greeted by a staff member sitting in the corner on her phone. Paul instantly said, “No, I’m good. We don’t have to eat here.” I, however, opted to at least order something to go and give it a shot.
I was super excited to try the Detroit-style pizza we had seen advertised online, so I was disappointed to find out it wasn’t actually an option. They do offer a pretty wide variety of pizzas, slices, sandwiches, strombolis, and loaded potatoes.

While ordering, the cashier kept directing her answers to Paul—even though I was the one asking the questions AND holding the card. 🤷‍♀️
We went with the Downtown Deluxe Stromboli, no green peppers, sub jalapeños. We were upcharged $2.50 rather than just swapping them—not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. The dough was good and had a nice cheese pull, but the toppings were pretty skimpy. The sausage appeared precooked, was very gray, and unfortunately didn't have much flavor.
We also tried the BBQ Brisket Spud. The portion itself was BIG and the overall flavor was good. Unfortunately, there wasn't much brisket compared to everything else, and what we did get was pretty fatty. At $16, that left us a little disappointed.

If you're looking for a huge variety Hamilton's definitely checks the box. Unfortunately, the food and service just didn't quite hit the mark for us this time.
And Paul’s description of the smell when we walked in? 😳 Yeahhh…we decided that one might not be Facebook-friendly. Use your imagination.

That being said, we’re not completely writing Hamilton’s off. We’d give it another shot to see if maybe we just caught them on an off day — because one visit doesn’t always tell the whole story.

As always, this was OUR experience. Give it a try for yourself and don't just take our word for it!

🍝 ROCKO’S MODERN REVIEWS STOP #4- MAZZA MONDAY 🍕

You know we’re always looking for good food and a good deal… so when we heard about Mazza Monday, we were in. 😂

On Mondays, menu items starting with “M” are 50% off — which conveniently fell on Mom’s birthday so we had to celebrate 🎉

🍝 Dad went with the lasagna and loved it.

🇮🇹 Mom chose the Little Italy.

🍕 Paul, shocking absolutely no one, got pizza. 😂

🤌 I went with the manicotti and meatballs. The manicotti had a surprisingly strong lemon flavor that was a little weird for me, but those meatballs were delicious.

And obviously… you can’t go to Mazza’s without getting the famous Mazza’s Salad. 🥗 If you know, you know.

And we have to shout out our girl Katy❤️ If you stop in, ask for Katy and tell her Rocko’s Modern Reviews sent you!

Good food, a great Monday deal, and even better company — Mazza Monday is definitely worth checking out.

☕️ Rocko’s Modern Reviews: Stop #3 Relax Its Coffee

Sometimes you just need a little pick-me-up, and this stop took us to Relax, It’s Just Coffee in downtown Mansfield.

As usual, Paul and I went in two completely different directions. 😂

🍵 Paul: Green Tea — keeping it simple, refreshing.

🥥☕ Marissa: Coconut Cold Brew — because if there’s a way to make coffee taste a little more like vacation, I’m probably ordering it.

Featuring great coffee, teas, kombuchas, and pastries of all varieties.

Relax has that cozy, laid-back downtown coffee shop feel where you can grab your drink and go or hang around and, well… relax.

We love checking out local spots like this and seeing what makes each one different.

Two drinks. Two very different orders. One more
Mansfield stop checked off the Rocko’s list. ☕️

As always, this is our experience — try it for yourself!

Rocko’s Modern Reviews Stop #2: Coney Island Diner🌭

If you've lived in Mansfield for any amount of time, you've probably heard of Coney Island Diner. As the oldest restaurant in Mansfield, we figured it was finally time to see what all the hype was about.

Now, full disclosure—we're more chili dog people than traditional coney fans. But if you love a classic coney, they've been making them with the same recipe since 1936, and that's pretty cool.

The retro diner vibes were our favorite part. From the moment we walked in, we were instantly seated, greeted by friendly staff, and had that old-school diner experience that feels harder and harder to find.

We ordered the King Coney, fries, and of course had to get a side of their famous coney sauce for dipping. With tip, our total came to just under $16, making it an affordable lunch with a side of Mansfield history.

Would we go back? Absolutely—for the atmosphere, the history, and the experience. Sometimes it's not just about the food; it's about supporting the places that have been a part of a community for 100 years.

⭐️ Rating: 7/10

As always, these are just our opinions. Support local, try it for yourself, and let us know your thoughts!
