There are two grocery stores in Mathews, Food Lion and Best Value. I'm a big fan of supporting…read morelocal businesses so I'd rather shop at Best Value. Their produce is a bit piqued looking but everything else is just fine. I'm told that their cuts of meat are good and not injected with saline or other crud to bulk them up and inflate the price but I'm a vegetarian and wouldn't know.

Well we happened to be in the area so we stopped in and ordered the fried chicken. The people working in the deli area were super friendly and all of the food looked delicious but the fried chicken was AMAZING! We went around lunchtime on a Sunday so the chicken was nice and hot and tasted super fresh! First we ordered two chicken thighs just for a taste but it was so good, we went back and ordered four more pieces. Definitely 10/10!!!

Talk about attitude! Yesterday (4/25) the sign in the case on the box said the frozen small-size…read moresoftshell crabs were $2.50 ea. or $25/dozen. When we went to checkout, the clerk tried to charge us $55 for 12. When I pointed out the pricing on the sign, he said $55 was the new price. No "sorry" or "our mistake" or honoring the store sign. We have been coming here for as long as they've been open. This isn't the 1st time they have messed up their pricing and given us a bad attitude. Sorry to see the place going down like this. So long, J&W. We won't be back.

Great sandwich shop housed in a historic home that includes a fun gift shop with many unique wines,…read morefood items and goods! Stopped by to grab a sandwich- you can either create your own or pick an already created favorite from the list. I went plain Jane and made a turkey, American, onion lettuce tomato and bay on white bread. It was a hefty sandwich filled to the brim with meats. Split it with a friend and I still couldn't finish my half. Lots of chip choices and even sides like pasta salad, macaroni salad, potato salad, and even pimento cheese. There are also lots of drink choices too. You order your sandwich at a counter from a sheet of paper with all the sandwich choices and leave it for the sandwich maker to make (on the day we visited, it was a sweet older lady) You take up your sandwich to check out and the lady behind the counter let us know that we could eat in, and where there was some tables. They also have some frozen soups, fresh meats, candy and baked goods.

Get refreshed after beach swimming with products from here. They had a avacados and produce and cat food and all that you need. Great prices. Def stop in and pick up your goodies.

Island Foods punches above its weight in terms of offerings. It's a small store in a small beach…read moretown, but they had a pretty respectable amount of grocery options available. First off, yeah, they know lots of folks are going to want alcohol, and I think half of the aisle endcaps displayed something alcoholic. While they had a lot of classic and domestic products, they do offer a decent amount of local beer, wine, and pre-mixed cocktails (even though the Untappd app said the local beer I was looking for wasn't sold anywhere in a 25 mile radius, Island Foods had it!). We came the week of Pony Penning, and the store makes a couple dozen cakes (see picture) to celebrate the occasion. The produce aisle is small, but they have enough that you could get a decent variety of fruits and vegetables for your stay. There's a pretty decent selection of meats here. I don't remember seeing too much non-frozen seafood, but I imagine it's hard to compete with the fresh catch with specialty fish markets on the island. I was pleasantly surprised to find several Gardein products, which meant vegetarian Child #1 could have some imitation meats and seafood if he wanted a protein similar to what the rest of his omnivorous family would get. Things are pricey. Inflation's here to stay and it's a touristy beach town. Considering that, it's not too bad. The folks at the register were very friendly. Whatever foodstuffs you're looking for, it's a good bet that Island Foods has it.
