They had slices of pizza they warmed up for the kids and meat platters with fried chicken or pulled pork along with several slides to choose from. The portions were large as well. They have a huge selection of drink coolers to pick from. We also grabbed some pre made options for lunch the next day. We were able to get a nice variety to please everyone. You can also go upstairs to eat and it wasn't crowded with lots of tables.

Grab your shopping cart and go inside. This is a large grocery store with about everything you want or need. The aisles are clearly marked with signage hanging from the ceiling. Plenty of self checkouts and also regular checkout lines available to keep the lines moving. If you get Mr. Brett at checkout you are in luck. He's funny and very helpful.

It was so unorganized, people getting irritated and shoppers unable to move around the store because of the winding line out the door. Maybe next year have 2 or 3 people taking names for pickup. Also, I could have just walked in and got my ham and 2 sides right from deli without having to stand in line for 45 minutes. Do better Fresh Market!

Inside it is a standard Aldi but they do have the Aldi finds (the aisle of shame!) which you cannot find at every Aldi. My experience with their produce and meats has been very good; I have bought their hamburgers several times and found them to be excellent in quality. Checkout is pretty quick; there are no self-scan registers in this store (that would be nice) but I have never waited in line more than a few minutes. Given its location, the excellent prices, and that aisle of shame, I will be here often.

I have enjoyed shopping here since it has opened roughly 16 years ago. They have always had great…read morestaff and the products are usually pretty good quality. I also appreciate the fair return policy, if something is wrong they refund your money and also you can replace the item. They don't give you any grief if you need to return something like Giant Eagle. They have certainly expanded their selection and the quality has always been good. The only issue is that the items come and go just like Trader Joe's. I love the hummus chips that pop up every once in a while, but then they go away quickly. I have always loved the fact that they never use plastic bags, which is very sustainable. It is very good to have them in the neighborhood. Please note: if you park out in the front you will not be able to transport your groceries in a cart out to your car. The store is wired so that the cart gets locked up if you try to leave out of the front door. This can suck if the back parking lot is full.

As I walked around, no employee greeted me. I looked at the prices on the shelves and packages, and I thought that they were slightly high.

First time I've been here since they finished renovating market square. It is such an improvement!…read moreNo more ankle twisting cobblestone. It's been replaced with smooth brick. The square has a covered area now too, with lots of seating so it can be enjoyed year round.

Market Square is a public space in the downtown area with a variety of shops and restaurants…read moresurrounding it. It was recently renovated just in time for the NFL Draft to allow more accessibility and better space for events. In the public area, there are some tables and chairs to sit and enjoy the area. They also seem to plan to have a lot more semi-permenant attractions in the space. Currently their is a roller rink (which is surprisingly affordably priced) . It has historically been home to the Holiday Market (which was moved into the theater area this year because of the construction). I hope the market does move back because Market Square was definitely the better space for it. There is plenty of parking nearby in garages, surface lots and street parking. The one downside is that it is really tough to drive through, especially with the way the renovated it. Drivers seem to be stopping to take in the new look or don't understand directional signage so there is often traffic backups.

I'm regularly coming in for a roast beef sandwich, lettuce, tomato, mayo on rye bread and they make it just the way I ask them because I'm fussy like that.

I truly appreciate that they have high-quality fresh produce, excellent meats, pantry staples, a quality selection of crackers and cookies, Bread Works bread, and the best local ice creams. But they also have ready to bake hors d'oeuvres and fancy little tidbits for a last-minute party. I don't know what our neighborhood would do without them.

Shelves are lined with canned goods, fresh ingredients stored in baskets to buy by the pound, and for some reason branded tourist soap bars. For the Food Tour, we were treated to the fresh hummus and pita. The hummus was very fresh - the owner even discussed how he made it over the last evening, but the pita was extremely dry and flavorless. He was clearly a true chef and creates amazing cuisines. So it is very disappointing that the store has to morph into a touristy shop. The hookah and culture items make sense somewhat, but the Harry Potter and Star Wars themed soap bars just seem like a gimmick that takes away from the true essence of the store. If you like hummus, you should definitely grab a container of the fresh made. But honestly, I doubt many people stop here based on the appearance.
