I can only speak of my experiences at Cliff's, so after looking at some of the critical reviews, I…read morethought I should note my own recent experience for balance. I needed some smoked items (boneless turkey breast, boneless ham) in fairly large quantities, and the staff were great at helping me sort through my options, unlike the $$$ caterers who invariably just gave me a checklist where the items rarely matched my plans. The guys at Cliff's were patient and helpful, and super-cheerful. The special order was ready right on schedule -- they do their own smoking -- and the quality of the items was outstanding, not just in my opinion, but also as reflected in the endless compliments made by my guests. The meat was not delivered like some sloppy product, but was beautifully produced, attractive, and easy to cut and serve. Perfect. The total cost was not simply reasonable -- for the quality and service, it was a steal. Other than the crowd that sometimes gathers at lunch time, I lover going to Cliff's, not simply for the outstanding range of offerings, but because I like the vibe of the place. Every time I've been there, all I see are enthusiastic and appreciative customers, and true experts delivering superior products in an upbeat, helpful way. I don't dispute anyone else's experience, but the points of criticism I read here are not at all part of my experience. I love Cliff's!

HANDICAPPED VEHCILE LOCATION VS HANDICAPPED PARKING LOCATION IS CRAZY, MAKES NO SENSE! This store…read morehas royallly messed up the location of their handicapped vehicles.The handicapped parking is no where near these little vehicles. To get to them you have to park in a non0-handicapped space, then go IN a door that is marked "EXIT" only. (I only know you can enter thru this"exit" door since a store employee tipped me off). Then to ride your cart to your car, you have to bump down a curb and since there will be another car parked close to yours (no handicappe spaces here) there is some difficulty in 1(getting groceeries into your car and 2)Getting the cart out of the way,.
