I'm a big fan of Publix grocery store. I absolutely love them, but this has gotta be the…read morefriendliest Publix store on the planet. My experience in the store was just so pleasant. The checkout lady was competent. She even thanked me for bringing my recycling bags, asked me how my visit was and invited me to come back to the store. The bagger was pleasant. He happily bagged my items and as I exited, I believe it was a manager, smiled and bade me farewell. Two thumbs up. This is a model class in grocery store customer service. I will be back.

Here at OI on vacation and we wanted to get deli sandwiches to bring to the beach. We did have a…read morePublix really close to us so we thought we'd get some from here (we usually like to shop local but it's a Sunday and many places are closed) Now, I'm not a huge sandwich person as I'm a picky eater so I was kinda hesitant but it was really good. The bread was very fresh and soft which is usually a deal breaker if it's hard and crunchy. I liked that you could make your own sandwich as I sub a lot of things usually and it was ready in about 25 minutes. Would recommend then for sandwiches if you are needing something fast! We also shared a pasta salad and potatoe salad!

Bottom line: This Food Lion in the Holden Beach area is a good grocery store resource. Clean, with…read morereasonable grocery prices for a beach area, good selection, and both staffed/self checkout options available. Very busy place as it is nearest to the beach and at a busy intersection, so the parking lot can be crowded also. The Deets: The nearest big chain grocery store in the Holden Beach area is this Food Lion, back on the mainland in the shopping center at the first stoplight after coming back over the bridge from the beach (same on as Walgreens). The parking lot is usually pretty packed as this store/shopping center is a pretty busy one. The grocery store itself is pretty clean and has a good layout, but again usually pretty busy with customers. The grocery prices are pretty acceptable for a beach area and of course their Food Lion MVP cards for special prices are useable here. There is a pretty good selection of all grocery items, no visible lacking areas noted so far. There is a hot food bar available if you want to use for a premade meal to take home. The beer cooler is towards the front to the left as you walk in, pretty handy in a beach area obviously. There are staffed checkout lines as well as self checkout kiosks, and the self checkout area line actually moves pretty fast as well staff comes quickly when needed/screen signals them. This beach area Food Lion gets the job done and I have to say it's not bad compared to most beach area grocery stores as well as a lot of Food Lion stores in general.

Self checkout is new but already broken on a regular basis. They just tried to make the store feel a bit nicer so we don't complain about how expensive everything is getting while the quality drops. If this area had any other options for household items I'd never step foot in Walmart again, but sadly we don't. Every time I have to go to this store it ruins my whole day. At the very bare minimum I wish the employees were helpful and polite instead of rude and miserable all the time. You get paid the same, you could at least do your damn job properly.

This location would be great except the parking lot is pretty much pitch black. It's not well lit and even though this is a safe area I didn't feel very safe in this parking lot at all.

Omg, this place is amazing!!…read more My bf and I stopped in during Memorial Day weekend to pick up beer/wine hostess gifts before staying with family in St James. Being from NY, just being able to have the convenience of finding both good wine and good beer in a grocery store is amazing enough, but this is the best grocery chain I think I've ever been to. The employees are super friendly, even complimenting me on my Smashing Pumpkins shirt and swapping concert experience stories :) They have a "snip your own" fresh herb garden, again, lots of local beer, cheeses, BBQ sauces, mustards, inhouse smoked/cured meats. They even have a little beer corner with taps so you can either fill a growler, sit and relax with a drink, or walk around with it while you shop. We even picked up fire works, just for fun

If you are looking to make big grocery store trips to get a big bunch of food or supplies for the week, you probably are going to head to the Lowes Foods right back over the bridge or the Food Lions near Sunset Beach or Shallotte. But for quick things, a few food items or convenience store things, beer, etc. then Sheffield's fits the bill. A huge walk in beer cooler, always nice especially when it is so hot outside! There is a small seafood shop in the back as well. Quick ice stop here is probably the main reason we see it so much. Very nice people working, great location, and handy items make Sheffield's one place you will probably visit many times if you make it out to OIB anytime for a vacation.

Since there's a Food Lion in Holden Beach, I rarely take the opportunity to shop at this Shallotte…read morelocation. In town to do some appliance shopping after Thanksgiving, I opted to stop in and pick up the few things I needed from the grocery. The store is conveniently located on the main drag through Shallotte, not too far from the intersection of Highway 17 and Business 17. The layout of the store is similar to the Holden Beach one, although it feels much larger and newer, with updated flooring and signage. The wine section is larger and more varied, with specials at all price points. I like that Food Lion carries the Udi's gluten free breads, including their baguette, which is pretty decent for GF bread. The trick is to know these breads are located in a freezer case on the way to the produce area, just past the deli section. The staff is friendly and helpful, and checkout is a breeze.

They have some excellent up front associates who really present themselves well...thus making this particular store much better than other Food Lions in their chain. These quality people make shopping here a pleasure rather than a chore. The store is clean and always well stocked. Their meats are good, occasionally I have gotten some lunch meat from their deli that are tough and not quiet up to par. Their other meats are usually very good. Their vegetables are good and presented well. As a whole, for a small town grocery store, we are fortunate to have FOOD LION CORPORATION in Shallotte, NC.
