OMG! We were so pleased with the new ownership during our recent visit to town. We had LOTS of questions due to dietary needs and they were VERY accommodating. Not to mention they have great butternut squash in the prepared section (4star); prepared lobster (definitely worth the $$) and a chip isle not to miss. Thanks so much for making our dinner with family a great one. We will be back! read more

Jerry's - Asparagus; Butternut squash; already prepared lobster (steak was from home) - Grocery Near Me - Sanford, Maine

For over 15 years, on trips back to Maine to visit my wife's family an annual stop is always Jerry's Market in Sanford. Always thought it was quite good. However, since Steve and Tanya Davies bought it almost a year ago, it is now FAN-TAS-TIC. I don't even know where to start. Their place is so good it makes me consider moving to Sanford. Let's start with their house made lobster rolls. As good as any in Maine and probably the least expensive....$12. (I saw rolls going for $28-32 throughout our time in Maine this summer.) Steve even goes out on the boats himself sometimes for the catch. Though he is generally way too busy for that to happen. Primarily, because he runs about the best meat market I have ever seen. If he doesn't have what you want, he'll get it. Just while I was there a couple customers came in for orders of bone for both their pets and homemade soups. If you want the freshest meats you are in the right places at Jerry's. Steve's partner in the meat department is Tom, a long time employee at Jerry's who can regale you with everything from the quality of different ranchers to the merits of soft vs hard shell lobsters. What probably impressed me the most is Steve is one of the best BBQ men I have ever seen in America. With a giant offset smoker out back using real Maine hardwoods, he's Tom Brady with a football. (I've run an award winning BBQ business specializing in coast to coast BBQ and respect the traditions deeply.). However, what Steve does is extraordinary. Literally, things I have never seen at a local market. Hot, giant Tomahawk ribeye steaks at nearly 3 pounds each infused with herbs and butter? YES! At Jerry's Market, regularly. I have never seen this cut prepared outside of the most high end steakhouses. Bravo, genius. Brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs and on. They are doing it all and doing it expertly. In the mood for a whole chicken not just dusted but stuffed with whole oranges and lemons? Welcome to Jerry's Market. Everything we had over our 10 days in the area was outstanding. I kept finding excuses to go back. Steve's wife Tanya is in charge of a whole home made man section featuring chicken and pork pot pies with a cooler case of take away pasta, chicken and other salads. It's just remarkable. They work so hard but always find the time to chat, laugh and joke with their many regulars. We came in strangers and were immediately treated better than family. And Jerry's ready ready for multi-generational ownership with their charming daughter, Bryanna, working up front. A funny, helpful young man, Seth, also works up front handing the register and the area that has daily hot, fresh sandwiches and soups. Some I saw included Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken Parm. Clam chowder and beef vegetable. You can have a whole week of hot sandwiches and soups and never see the same dish. There was just too much to try. Jerry's is worth driving in from another County. The world is too quickly becoming corporate, standardized, without personality, personal treatment or a desire to be different and better. The Davies are running Jerry's Market in ways that counter these trends. The world is so much better with personal touch. The Davies understand this fact and work so hard to make it happen. Special, little places like Jerry's will fall away from our world without our support and appreciation. On occasion, I'll meet a person that is absolutely working to be the best they can be....that is what is happening at Jerry's Market. Fascinating to watch. Tantalizing to taste. Quit reading. Go enjoy Jerry's Market. read more

I have been getting lobster from Jerry's for the past 30 years, but will no longer. I had placed and order for 6 lobsters 24 hours before desired pick up. Picked up my cooked lobster and luckily my husband thought the price was wrong, we opened the bag in the car and there were only 4 lobster. They had given me someone else's order and my order had never been prepared. I then waited to have 6 lobster cooked, soft shell because there were no hard shell left, and paid for the extra two. Got in car to leave with lobster and woman who had messed up my order came out to my car to say that I had not paid. Needless to say I was angry and will no longer get my lobster at Jerry's. I believe in supporting small businesses but not when there is as much confusion and poor customer service as at Jerry's. It is also concerning that amid the Corona virus pandemic, the two women who work at store and are often behind the meat and seafood counters, do not wear masks read more
