Nearly every pick-up order or visit in store, we find expired foods, kids yogurts past dates and meats leaking fluids and simple things like organic strawberries and blackberries out of stock nearly weekly. Lexington has very few options for healthy and clean food and this store really needs to be replaced ASAP. Would much prefer a high-end Publix or ALDI compared to this Kroger. We could use a Trader Joe's too around here. Some of us do want organic and health-conscious options...this Kroger barely keeps up with new brands and healthy food for those of us here who pay for that.

Tonight, my husband and I had a horrible experience with a cashier named Justin (curly orange hair). He insisted that both of us needed to be ID'd to purchase alcohol despite the fact that only my husband was the one purchasing. That would've been fine, but after complying with his request we just were saying how we get rules are rules, but that we thought the rule was a little stupid. He then proceeded to get a nasty attitude and he refused to sell to us. When I told both of the managers Kiersten and another gm (that i didn't catch the name of); Kiersten was not apologetic for her employees behavior and seemed very apathetic/indifferent towards my complaint. The second manager seemed more professional and heard me out and said he would talk with Justin. I'm mostly disappointed that neither of them thought to apologize for the situation and offer to ring us up on a different register. After the experience, we went to Krogers down the road. Had a great experience with a cashier Alexandria. 10/10 would recommend shopping at Kroger's.

Finding them neither with the vegetables or with the alternative milks or with the coffee-based mixed drinks, I assumed they didn't have any of this sort of item, only to find a small freestanding cooler that did have some, but not quite the price or selection that I was hoping after all that searching. Similarly, some elements of the fruit and vegetable section didn't quite have everything I was hoping for. This store also had a longer wait in line than I would have expected despite three registers running. There were still some good quality food items to be had, but trying to shop comprehensively at Fresh Market often leaves me a bit frustrated.

Mac's Country Store

Sometimes the best food is in unlikely places and according to Saveur Magazine and The Washington…read morePost, Mac's is a hidden gem truly hidden in middle of nowhere backwoods Virginia. It's in cellphone reception-less Roseland, Virginia off a few country roads. Once you see the only gas station for miles, it would be easy to move on, but just wait...Mac's is in the gas station! Passing a beaten up truck and a few overall wearing locals, walk inside and order the fried chicken sandwich with all the fixins (onions, lettuce, a jumbo slice of a tomato, and mayo) for a whopping $4. If they ask if you want potato wedges, save $2 and skip it. They weren't very good and you literally get 5-6 of them. The chicken sandwich itself was good for being in a gas station. It's definitely better than Chick-fil-A but not as good as the best you've ever had. If you stumble upon Mac's randomly, you'd be blown away by how good a simple gas station in literally the middle of nowhere could make such a good sandwich. However, if you're coming from a city with good food, save the trip. Sorry Saveur and The Washington Post.

Mac's is a nondescript country store and gas station on Highway 151 in Roseland that happens to sell outstanding fried chicken - crisp and moist with just the right seasoning. This is what fried chicken is about, not that greasy junk at KFC. Indeed, Mac's chicken is as good, if not better, than Mitchell's in Lynchburg (also in the Crummy But Good genre). Choose the number of pieces, white or dark meat and whether or not you want a side and dinner rolls. Mac's offers other items, but it's hard to make a case when the chicken is this good. The store managers are friendly and there are a handful of rustic tables in the back of the store should you wish to dine-in. Mac's is a great place to stop for lunch while visiting the local orchards. If you're willing to overlook the exterior, great fried chicken will be your reward. Just be sure to top off your tank before heading back to town.
