Certain items are worth the splurge- e.g., the homemade potato salad in the deli section... Soooo good!! They also carry a number of homemade soups. They also carry things my mom loves (e.g., turkey wings). For everyday items, you'll do better price-wise shopping at your local Kroger or other such stores. Again, this doesn't replace the pleasure of walking into a hometown shopping store. I also love that they hire people with disabilities - love love to experience this! Still, based on the pricing, I need to rate this store at 4 stars, as much as I love and recommend them for excellent quality and for carrying certain items that are difficult to find elsewhere (my mom loves Kasia's sauerkraut dumplings)! Check them out because it's a feel-good small grocery store, locally owned!!

this is not your every day grocery store. I would never go here to get my weekly groceries, but I…read morewill go here to do some rubbernecking and bargain hunting. They have some weird stuff here. Erie, Michigan is not exactly a booming metropolis or Haven for culturally diverse food, but tucked away unassuming off the highway is a hidden gem known aw Erie IGA. I was able to find some eastern European Staples and oddities. Think big lots meets a flea market for groceries and booze. They do have fresh produce and fresh meats, (and typically even fresh pizza) but a lot of what they have is odd overstocked nearly expired items. Not to complain, because expiration dates are just dates that say best used by... They aren't truly expired. And as a bargain hunter, I love paying half the amount for food that is still perfectly fine. Let's talk booze, beer, and wine. This place is staffed Floor to ceiling in one section full of bargain and bizarre. alcohol options. If you have never been here, you have to go in to understand what I am talking about. When I throw parties, this is my stop for a way to cheaply pump my guess full of drunken delight. They also have some houseware stuff sprinkled in between the nearly expired freezer food, and the Eastern European soup options. My husband and I spent over an hour just looking at everything. We went in to pick up some cabbage on our way home from an event a few years back and left with $100 worth of food and alcohol that looks more like $300 worth. I'm not sure if the owner is Russian or Ukrainian, but he was cool is hell. I picked up the best frozen spinach pies I have ever had. They had blitzes and my favorite kosher split pea soup in the freezer. We try to go back every three months or so even though it's completely out of our way just so we can see what cool finds they have procured. The days of small grocery stores are numbered, but every time I see one I go in. And usually, I keep going back. Maybe it's the nostalgia, maybe it's the 1950s housewife in me, but I love a good small town grocery store.

I picked my son up from school and almost got a hot and ready, but this is closer and doesn't require me to drive out of my way.

I literally can't say enough good things about this place. Go check it out if you have not. And stop by Sidon next door before you go shopping for a great meal.

It's always fresh (they sell tons of it, so no worries about it being old), never oily, extremely smooth without any dominate flavors. It's simply amazing! they have amazing salads, falafel, kabobs, etc. They have fresh pita bread every day, a real treat! Oh, their kafta pies are outrageously great! Honestly, they're all great, but I love the kafta. Perfectly seasoned, perfect pastry, etc. If you want feta, they always have at least 3 choices, and the prices are better than anywhere else in Toledo. Their produce is usually great. Once in a while you'll get something that's a little older than you'd like, or it's lacking flavor, but produce is all natural, so these things can be hard to control. They have great shelf-stable things like olive oil, spices, grains, etc. They have a great olive bar, refrigerated/frozen items, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Need puff pastry or phyllo, no need to go anywhere else. My only quibble is one of the guys working behind the butcher counter isn't always that friendly. I try to wait until he's busy and then get served by one of his co-workers. The place is always spotless and it's in a very safe part of town! I can't recommend this place strongly enough to anyone who loves Middle Eastern food! OMG, I think I need to go there for lunch today!

We've been customers of Danny's since moving to Monroe in 2006. On a recent 90 degree day my…read morehusbands car broke down near Walnut Street, about two blocks from Danny's at Cole Road. He forgot his cell that day and walked the two blocks to Danny's to use their phone to call me to pick him up. It would have been another two miles to walk home on a hot day, and he is in his mid 80's, not a good idea. He walked into the store and asked the woman at the cash register if he could use the phone, he had a break down and needed a ride. "NO" was her response. Surprised, and with disbelief, he walked back to the meat counter where two men were working and said again, "could I use the phone please" ? Both totally ignored him as if they didn't hear!!!!! Very fortunate that a man my husband had worked with came in right then, and offered to take my husband home. What has this world come to that three people in that store refused to let a Senior citizen use the phone when he had a car brake down? This was stunning, shocking, surprising, and really CRUEL too, on a 90 degree day. He would have had to walk the two miles home if that customer had not come in. This experience has put a new light on this local business that we have patronized for years. It's the neighbors here who keep them open, and this is how they treat customers and neighbors! This will not be soon forgotten.
