Small but we'll stocked store. Employees are helpful and very nice. Check out is usually fast which is awesome

One of the few remaining "old-school" supermarkets from when the term was first coined back in the 50's. At one time, this style of store was modern and different, when compared to the old-fashioned stores where clerks did all the work for shoppers. Now it seems small, cramped and dark compared to the vast shopping monoliths at the mall where you can get lost in the frozen peas and not be discovered for weeks. Aesthetics aside, Main Street always offers an assortment of sale items advertised weekly in the local paper. They somehow manage to compete with the big boys like ShopRite, PathMark & Acme. Their specialty is meat. They have real butchers on premises who can actually cut meat to order. Where their service really shines is the parking lot service to the elderly and "differently-abled". If you need any assistance getting your groceries from the store to your car, one of their cheerful staff is ready and willing to help. I know this is standard issue at supermarkets in many parts of the country, but in New Jersey we think differently: You can't pump your own gas and grandma has to schlep her own grocery bags at the market. It's probably why the store is a hit with the AARP set. read more

Main Street has been a fixture in the area for as long as I can remember. It is a small, family-run grocery that embodies the neighborhood. The owners were always been helpful and hospitable when I went in with my parents 20+ years ago, and I hope that has not changed. Not wanting to deal with the big-box supermarket across town, I recently ran in to grab some pantry staples and was impressed with the quality of produce and meat. They don't have as much variety as a bigger mainstream grocery, but the selection is more than adequate if you aren't looking for something super-specific. They have fresh-ground meats in the case and carry everything from chicken breast to fresh sausages. The other day I saw pork jowl in the case at a very reasonable price. This is something they sell for three times that price where I live ,and it's labeled its more "exotic, marketable" (eyeroll) and Italian name, guanciale. The aisles are still super small and you'll squeeze by people even when it's not super busy, but the prices are more than reasonable and everything is fresh. It seems like the hard-working staff gives just as much attention to quality at Main St as they did when I was a kid. Support small business! read more

It's convenient. Because of that, we run down the road to pick up things when needed. Prices are usually higher because it's such a small store. Once upon a time, Main Street was known for its meat. I am not certain I can support that any longer. I have seen some nasty looking stuff in their cases. At the same tome, I have seen some good cuts too. The inconsistency is such that I rarely look here for meat. While they have a small variety of bacon, they also carry some of the worst bacon I have ever had. The workers are always friendly. We use it as a quick stop when we need an item or two. We do not complete our grocery shop here. It also serves as a prominent landmark when we give directions. read more

Simply put, you won't find better hamburger meat than you'll find here. It may be packaged poorly and usually leak blood on your hands (ugh), but there is _no_ better ground beef in all of the tri state area...believe me, I've tried. The downside is the rest of the store is rather expensive. Mostly everything is significantly higher than you can find at shoprite. It seems everyone from Millville is too stupid to drive an extra 3 miles to shoprite to pay 50% less on their groceries because I've seen people gleefully pay 12 bucks for a jar of mayo when the same brand and size is 4 bucks at wal-mart or shoprite down on Delsea drive. Rednecks aren't known for their brains. The upside is that you actually get your groceries bagged and the atmosphere is really laid back. If you go early in the morning you can escape the crowds (It gets super crowded around 1-4pm) and grab some of that fine ground beef before the millville savages come in. read more

This store has been there for as long as I can remember, 50 years ago and counting. It hasn't changed much. It smells those years, too. Lack of cleanliness, the floors are dirty and the ceiling has plenty of spots from water leaking from many places. There is water on the floor and little or nothing is done to repair it. The boss must be a cheapskate. read more

Great local grocery store with a full time butcher. Meats and deli are very reasonably priced and great selection. Staff is very helpful. I ask the butcher for extra thick steaks for the grill and he takes care of it. Local breads also are very good. Overall prices are better than large grocer. Support small business. read more

This store has been a part of the community for a long time. They offer a reasonable variety and a very reasonable price, and I've been impressed by their meat selection and quality. However, their service has always made it a difficult decision to go in. I've been yelled at for coming in 20 min before closing, with the butcher yelling " I told you we should have locked the doors...", rolling his eyes, and interrupting my " May I please have" with a loud "WHAT DO YOU WANT!?!" (I know that end of day feeling, but it's a small store, and I'm almost never in there longer than 5 minutes. Regardless, yelling a patron should never be acceptable. ) There are the cashiers that refuse eye contact, and do not speak to you at all. I've even initiated to try to be friendly with a "Hi, how are you today?". There are at least two that will ignore that completely, but hear and respond to you when you ask this weeks sale on eggs. I've tried this at least a dozen times. (I was taught as least a "hello" was part of good customer service.) There was the time when they ran out of a deli meat on sale, the clerk in the meat department recommended a particular honey smoked substitute. I was happy! He said its a great quality and I trusted that it was. As I move on and peruse the chicken, I hear another patron request the same meat that he had just sold me. The clerk then said that he should not try it, explaining that is was of poor quality, very dry, etc. Why was it recommended to me?? And a simple request to change a $20 turning into a recommendation that I **do not return**. I paid debit, received cash $50 back, and asked if he could break (1) $20. He declined, I asked if he could instead break the (1) $10. I was told he had no fives, tens, or ones; implying that if I had attempted to pay with this aforementioned $20 or $10 bill, (4:00 in the afternoon, 8 hours into the day), that he would have no means by which to give me my change. I will say that, till that point, I had turned the other cheek, and ignored every slight I'd received thus far. However, I'm ashamed to say that I did respond with "This is the only store I know that doesn't hold change". The reply from a cashier bagging was "Well don't come back." Honestly, even with their history, I was shocked. I've always said to respond to poor treatment with kindness, and had done so for every incidence except the last. Most people in this world would be less rude or at least act tolerant, if not friendly, in return. But I've never felt anything but unwelcome in this store, and that outweighs their best cut of meat. I've never been rude to them or given them reason to hold any animosity against me. I also haven't ever walked in wearing a suit.(maybe that's the problem?) These events didn't happen in a week, or in a month. This review is a result longstanding, habitual treatment that has spanned at least 2 years. One can't excuse them all as "bad days", though I did for the longest. It's a shame that I'll have to drive past this store to one 15 minutes away the next time I run out of milk. But I'm sure they won't mind. read more

Love this small family run supermarket. I've found the prices the same as Shop Rite. While they may not the variety as the big supermarkets we are real happy with what they have. As far as employees not being friendly we always have friendly helpful employees. My only problem is they close a little to early. read more
