I got very unhappy with Ideal , the grocery store today . Yesterday ,I bought Tuna on sale, $6.99 A lbs ( one bag) I bought 2, one lb. Bags My husband was the one that paid He is not very good at checking his bill, and when we got home he gave me the bill Looking at it, they charge me $12.99 a lbs for tuna that had a big sign $6.99 lbs So I went back today with my bill to show there mistake ,they agreed ,they have made a mistake ,the price on the counter was wrong but refused to gave me back my money ,at the price $6.99 They want me to bring back in 24 hours , the tuna, and they would give me back the difference in the price I had all the proof of there mistake, Why should I I go back again just to show them in person the tuna You can understand that I was not very happy, this is not the first time that they charge me the wrong price on some articles in my grocery. I tried so hard to really show them there error in price on my bill, that I had brought them, a package of the tuna , to show them there mistake. But not paying attention when I got it out of the freezer to bring it with me, to show them I took the wrong package that was originally in the freezer, but that should not had make a difference, because there mistake of over charging me was still there , and they should had gave me back the money of the difference in prices . I wish them good luck but not being customers friendly won't help them ,and will keep that store with not many customers It has been low for business since they open, and there next move will be to close the place read more

I learned about this supermarket when I began receiving its sales flyer in the mail; so while I was out shopping today and was in the area, I decided to stop by and quickly check out the place. Located along Dania Beach Blvd., Ideal Food Basket (used to be Winn-Dixie) is a large supermarket that caters to the American, Hispanic, and Caribbean population. The market is clean with organized aisles. Surprisingly there were a few people shopping so the atmosphere was very quiet. I could actually think while walking each aisle and I didn't have to worry about standing in a long line or making sure people kept their distance from me. You can find a vast variety of items such as fruits, produce, packaged meats & seafood, frozen items, baby & pet care, beverages - including beer & wine, health & beauty, grocery & international items, and many more. There's a butcher (meat), seafood, and deli department; as well as a juice bar. Yes, I can see myself shopping here. Most of the items are priced reasonably where I was able to find a loose onion for under $1 and some ripe plantains priced 2 for $1. The selection of meats looked fresh which I like and the supermarket seems to have the majority of the items I frequently purchase in stock. I was informed by one of the employees that the supermarket has been open for two months. I hope it does well and stays open, Dania Beach needs a local supermarket in the area. read more

Another supermarket market other than Publix. The difference between this supermarket and the other is that they offer a large goya and other hispanic brands. Their prices are somewhat cheaper depending on what you are looking for. The store is not fancy but it is very large. It's great to have choices and I have been coming here for their juice's and fresh fruits. Definitely a great addition to the area. read more

The hot food at the deli is not good. I ordered scarmbled eggs and bacon. Ok the eggs were hard they'd been sitting under the heat lamp.since they eere made also more than likely over-cooked. The bacon was undercooked and very chewy, it too had been sitting under the heat lamp since it was "cooked". The store as a whole is very clean. Regardless I more than likely will not be buying food from the deli again. The owner made a huge mistake in firing the original manager Jose. If there was a problem he would make it right. read more

This supermarket has great quality's be great prices! I try to shop here whenever I'm in the area! It's always clean, produce and fruits always look fresh. There is great variety and it's never too busy. Prices are even better than Walmart! Specially for fruit and veggies! read more

Visited for the first time and won't be my last. Loved the international products, prices and selection. Can't wait to try some of the "fun" items. Flowers, wine, produce, they have it all. read more

Ideal Food Basket - Corner of store. - Grocery Near Me - Dania Beach, Florida

Worst service. No care for customers. Produce very low quality. Will never return store really dirty. Have shopped here for awhile won't return. They should Care about their customers read more

The store in Orlando had a strange smell. I bought chicken and pork. One package of chicken was spoiled. The smell was awful. I will be buying my meat at freshfields from now on. Hopefully, Ideal and Aldi won't poison anyone. read more

We though it was going to be amazing. The variety of products was impressive The produce department put Publix to shame . The staff friendly and courteous. Price point was competitive. Sadly when we got home and unpacked we found green mold at the bottom of the grated Parm bag. The baby artichokes went off in less than 48 hours. The seafood that looked appetizing in the case had an odd taste even after cooking. I had high hopes, but found it disappointing. To be fair, it was close to opening day, so there may have been hiccups. I'll might try one more time..... read more

Don't let the name fool you, IDEAL Food Basket is more than just a thing you use to carry food in, it's a full-fledged supermarket replete with produce, meats, frozen novelties, servants, fish mongers, air conditioning, Chips Ahoy, beans, Doritos, huevos, frying cheese, Corona Light, Bok Choy, shopping carts, graphic signage, Spanish ham, fancy sweet potatoes, frozen fried meat pastries, toilet paper, giant cheese ball containers, wine, etc.... and yes, food baskets to carry your soon-to-be-procured items in. It's tucked away in a sleepy, inconspicuous shopping plaza in the heart of soon-to-be-gentrified Dania Beach. Rumor has it, this used to be the same building that housed a Winn-Dixie way back when. They were probably pushed out for being racist fear-merchants with a name like that. If you're a counter-social Covid commando like myself, this is the perfect place to be. I counted about only 4 other humans shopping, excluding my ladyfriend and myself, and about the same number of servants stooped at their selling posts and ALL wearing appropriate facial coverings. This was on a Saturday night, mind you. (Weekends are the new every other day). Going to this new market would be the most exciting thing I'd do all week. They keep all of the produce right at the front of the store to make you feel bad by the time you get to the Ho-Hos, Chicharones, and White Castle Jalapeño cheeseburgers you came there to get. My Ladyfriend was elated to find all of the accoutrements from her mother country (viva Peru!) plus all of the obscure veggies she needed for some weird soup she wanted to make. Their modest wine selection boasted a specific title I had never heard of before called "Culitos." That's "little asses" for you uninitiated gringos. Almost half of one of the aisles is dedicated to beans. They've got every type of bean you can shake a spoon at. And yes, many alternatives to the recently cancelled Goya variety. In ambiance, Ideal market conjures up memories of markets passed. The different sections have on display bold typographical solutions in the vein of Lucky's Market (RIP) most likely inspired by the vintage-modern Czechoslovakian signwriter typefaces of the early 1900's. The down-home, working class aesthetic and occasional fruit fly call to mind Penn Dutch (RIP), a local market which stood behind the innuendo-laced slogan "Nobody Beats Our Meats." A slogan which in fact reigned true as nobody could touch their filet mignon deals back in that day. You'd be hard-pressed to find an equal cut anywhere else cept for maybe Peter Luger's (yeah, ex-New Yawker here! Whaat, foggetaboutit). Speaking of New York, a quick google search of Ideal yields comparisons to NY market staple C-Town, at one point in time a Brooklyn oasis of pig's feet, cramped aisles, and expensive ginger sodas I would deal with for my weekly shopping needs. "Where shopping is a pressure." I'd rather deal with Ideal. Like I said, not many people shopping in the store so the fish monger and deli servant looked rather lonely at their posts, not like the deli at Publix which at most times resembles a DMV. We decided to procure some provisions from the nice deli servant. The deli servant had never heard of roast beef so we decided to go with some Jamón Serrano and Provolon. My ladyfriend did all the talking as she generally develops a camaraderie with her own people. The prices are pretty nice. The fancy coffee my ladyfriend usually buys was only $7 instead of $10. Although we bought some frozen lobster meat for $13 and it actually turned out to be pretty gross. You get what you paid for! Frozen croquetta game on point though. I deal with a number of food merchants on the regular (Publix, Aldis, Trader Joe, Hole Foods) and I have to say in the midst of a pandemic there is no better place than Ideal. It's "ideal." Plus, it's s short car ride from home, the full duration of one No Doubt song to be exact. PROS: Obscure South American products galore, innuendo-laced alcohol, friendly servants, lack of human bodies. There's a pizza hut express in the same plaza. CONS: Ideal is easy to miss as there are big trees blocking the sign from the street. It would be ideal to cut those trees down. There's a Wells Fargo ATM in the same plaza. I tried to get some cash there a long time ago and it ate my card! read more

Finally I found something very nice and much affordable then Publix next plaza. The 1st time I shopped there my basket was full of everything I needed for a week and the receipt was only $89. Now this is my favorite store to shop. Excellent variety of things available. Everything clean and nice. Highly recommend! read more

The international isle here is soo yummy, good selection of authentic seasonings. good service!

Well-stocked, clean and a much welcome alternative to the overcrowded Publixes and WalMarts. The produce and wine selections were expansive. Nice juice bar. The staff was friendly and offered help. read more

My first and not my last time visiting this newer grocery store. I went in for the specials, but came out with a full cart of all different items. The one thing that stands out is the prices and quality of the meat. Some grass fed beef at reasonable prices. Excellent prices and selection on all. Vegetables and fruits were all very fresh, bins full of nuts, seeds, grains and dried fruit. The entire store was very clean and a joy to shop. I highly recommend giving them some business. read more

Even though I don't live here anymore, decided to stop in after reading about it in the Dania Press. It is located where the old Winn Dixie was on Dania Beach Blvd. it was very neat and organized with good prices. They had a lot of different foods that are not available at Publix or Walmart. My only complaint is that it was too cold in there. read more

Hot food from the deli was absolutely inedible and disgusting! Rice hard as a rock. Plantains dry and hard also. I won't be returning. read more

First I will start with the positive things about the store- it is usually clean, fairly well organized and they have lower prices. Their selection on some products, such as pet food is limited. However the biggest drawback is something quite bizarre; When I went in today the checkouts had a sign saying "NO CHANGE GIVEN". I assumed this meant if you pay with cash you need exact change. Really weird. I had exact change but the cashier gave me a hard time about taking one of my dollar bills because it had a small tear on the side. This whole strange experience has made me less likely to go back there. read more

The place is an overpriced Publix with a horrible selection. Looking at the rundown building from the outside should give you an idea of what's inside. Not worth going here. read more
