Pre-packaged greens that are slimy and smelly, wilted red, yellow, and orange peppers, hot food bar that sits out likely far beyond acceptable limits, marketed "house made" sausage with far too much fat, poor quality beef, crappy chicken. I still go because it's convenient, but typically regret it.

The store was clean, organized, and surprisingly well‑stocked for its size. It's great for grabbing essentials without having to trek across town. Parking is tiny, but that's pretty normal for the area, and honestly the location made up for it since it was right next to our Airbnb. I also appreciated that they had security on site, which made the whole experience feel safer and more comfortable. Where things went downhill was with the checker named Sebastian. His attitude was unnecessarily rude, and it really stood out compared to the otherwise positive experience. Everything else about the store gets five stars, but the interaction at checkout definitely took away from the visit.

The variety of local and housemate product is simply amazing. Most of it looks delicious and they carry a wide variety of food. From coffee to prepared food, to bottled and even ice cream the local presence fits New Orleans perfectly. It was immediately decided that this would be tomorrows dinner spot! The aisles are great to perused and search for unique things. I wish I could take a shopping cart home with me, but, alas merely a pipedream. There's plenty of parking lot area, in front and across the street.

There's never a line. The people behind the counter are always so kind. Food comes out fast. And the poboy hits the spot everytime. Definitely a local neighborhood joint that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This place has drinks, snacks, and other hot foods. Stop by if you're wanting to support a local business. Anyways, the shrimp are seasoned just right & there's always sooo much shrimp. I love adding mustard and Crystals hot sauce to my poboys. Last order is at 5:30 so get your fix early!

I've been shopping here since the store opened six years ago. That ends now…read more Being selectively asked to leave my bag at the front is unacceptable. I won't shop somewhere that treats paying customers like suspects. If you don't trust me to walk your aisles without stealing, then the equivalent would be me inviting the owner into my home and asking him to empty his pockets before he leaves. Same principle--same level of disrespect. If this is truly a policy, then apply it consistently. Purses are just as capable of concealing merchandise as backpacks, yet they're not treated the same. That inconsistency makes this feel less like security and more like selective enforcement. Other stores in the area--including Rouse's, Breauxmart, Zuppardo's, Robért's, Dorignac's, and even Walmart--manage theft risk without treating customers this way. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I've never bought frozen food here that wasn't so over frozen and freezer burnt that I was able to…read morecook it. All of their freezers are so crap. Some leak constantly or don't have a good seal on the doors, so they just crank them all up. So some things are not cold enough and everything else so cold that it is ruined before you bring it home. And from how the other reviews look, I doubt I could ever get a refund with jumping through a million hoops or straight up just getting told no. The produce is covered in flies and I've found myself buying extra because I know I'll be disappointed in quality once I get home and cut into it. Some prices are a little better than the grocery stores near my house, but I've thrown away so much money shopping here. They promote it as they "classic" or "historic" Circle Food Store, but it's obvious Sidney Torres doesn't care about preserving whatever importance this store once held. It's dirty all over. I'd never buy meat or fish from the butcher. The amount of flies and bugs in produce travel over to the meat department and land on the fresh food in the display chases. So only shop here if you don't need anything fresh or frozen. And even then check the dates on whatever you buy. I feel like I'm throwing away money when I shop here. However much money I save, I just throw away in food when I try to cook it A rat could run a cleaner and better store than Sydney Torres
