First, the fresh fruit section was small and the fruit was very expensive. So, I deducted a star. But, the store itself was pretty large. I did buy some strawberries and bananas. The surprises came in the ready to eat section. There was a ton of homemade soups, which looked delicious. I thought the prepared salads also looked really tasty. I ended up leaving with a Greek salad, which was fresh and delicious. Lots of feta cheese, lettuce, red peppers, olives and Greek dressing. Another, pleasant surprise was the bread section. There were a lot of freshly made breads. I bought a sourdough bread that was really good. It was hard to choose from the many different selections. The vegetable selections were plentiful and looked really nice. The service was excellent. I was checked out in a jiffy. My grocery helper was so nice and accommodating. The store was clean and well organized. I am sure the quality of food is higher, than a regular supermarket. I would probably return for the prepared foods and breads. But, the cost is pretty high. So, shop carefully.

I've been eating fish in DC since I was a little kid, but this was my first time ask Yelp to direct me to a spot in my hood. OCS was the closest place with the best reviews, so with my mom's advice to "make sure the place doesn't smell fishy, I headed right on over. First of all, no fishy smell and clean clean. Secondly, Nicholas helps you select the fish, so no strange outside hands on the fish. Great selections, great prices, and they had EVERYTHING I needed, right on down to the fish heads. They made sure everything was skinned and filleted and I was out of there fast fast. Nicholas is charming and his staff is efficient. Next time I need a bunch of fish, I'm definitely coming here!

The fresh produce is a feast for the eyes. I feel stress melt away when I step inside this market--a reprieve from the MoCo culture. Kind of a throwback to when I was young and lived where there were many more stores like this. We'd love to support this business more than we do, but we don't live nearby. We love stopping here on road trips, though. The owner is so kind. He is also very passionate about the quality of his products.

Boarman Meat Market is the only place I purchase whole chicken to make chicken soup from scratch. I…read morehave found that there is no after taste of preservatives or chemicals in my chicken soup. None! Just fresh cooked chicken, broth, veggies, and herbs. I realized this after using chicken from other stores, (Boreman's ran out of whole chicken one day) even tried Whole Foods "fresh organic chicken"! Note - I believe that since the meats has no preservatives or chemicals on their meats you need to use within a few days or freeze. Ask yourself when purchasing meats from other stores, - How long ago was the meat butchered..........

Ordered a half bushel and they were ready in just under an hour. They were mixed medium and large and they were great! Down to the bottom of the box they were excellent. I also got some of their deviled eggs which were a little sweet but tasty and a pint of their shrimp salad which was good. Spiced shrimp came in 3 different size shrimp for you to choose and they were also great. I sat in the parking area while waiting for it to all be ready as the shop is big enough to accommodate folks ordering but if you stay you'll be in the way. If I want to get crabs this is where I'm going.

They have their top combos or you can build your own. They also have blue crab of course and make sure you place orders in advance as they sell out especially on holidays. There is nowhere to eat inside or sit so you can order to go prior or stop in and get yours to go as well. The staff is wonderful and it was nice to talk with the other customers as we waited for ours. It's not big inside just a couple counters with food options to choose from and you take with you to go. They have all the seasoning and sides for sale also, along with frozen items and even paper for your crabs if you need it.

If the place is not crazy talk to this great bunch of nice folks who know their stuff. When it gets crazy be patient please because seafood takes time and is hells hard work. Enjoy!

No greeting just silence and then got hung up on after a second of them picking up. I called again and they finally young lady decided to answer with a greeting. Upon arriving to grab our LG dozen... we've always been able to stack military discount and the online coupon for $5 off since our last visit. I even confirmed with the cashier during our last visit because I thought that was really nice of them. The young lady cashiering this time around had no remorse or explanation but a "NO" just military or the coupon. If you're okay with this type of customer service and can over look it plus this place being a bit $$$ definitely try their steam crabs and fish they got here. Customer Service definitely needs work. Its very awkward coming inside to an awkward staring contest with everyone behind the fish counter and cashier ( NO GREETING OR HELLO) as if your trespassing into the building or hi how can we help you today? Are you looking for anything specific???. ... Anyways ... not sure when we'll return..
