i live in Maine and usually love MB, but today not so much. I ordered a lobster to be cooked (1.4 lb). I asked if it was soft shell or hard. was told soft. when I got home I took the lobster out and was able to get all the lobster out with just my hands. Literally was no effort. The lobster was so soft I didn't need anything! Not a good thing because the amount of lobster I got out was so tiny, I'm talking if I could squish my palm together the entire lobster would fit! Disappointed because I was really looking forward to this treat. Guy in Seafood was very nice. Hopefully the tuna and swordfish are ok. read more

Worst Market Basket I have ever been in.Most employees do no speak English. When we asked a question the answer was " No English". One employee ran into my basket and turned and walked away without a word. The bathrooms need serious attention. read more

Really enjoyed food shopping here while we were on vacation. Store is neat and clean. We found everything we needed

This is our go-to grocery store. The selection is great, the prices are great, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Years ago, we wouldn't buy meat there, but they have really stepped it up and now we buy everything there. My biggest pet peeve is that it's always really cold there. I suppose that's better for keeping the food fresh, but I always try to bring a sweater when shopping in the summer. Brrrrr! read more

Fresh Maine lobsters steamed perfectly, cracked & ready to eat! Found a nice ocean front park in Rye, NH & had a wonderful birthday picnic.

Great service and great sandwich from the deli today! Was very pleased, attentive staff and friendly. read more

Some I know works at this place and their boss is down right rude. This place treats their employees badly and doesn't pay them enough. They want their employees to work full time but then they cut hours and don't pay them enough for the work they do. read more

I know going to the grocery store on Sunday is a bad idea, it felt like there was a church next door. Slow shoppers and all in the dairy isle. The dairy isle is too small. Make it bigger you have the room. The deli was too slow as well the already took down one of their slicers at 3pm when they close at 7. The staff alone were helpful. Also when the sign says service dogs are allowed that doesnt mean you carry around your little shitzu in your jacket. open a window in your car and itll be fine. This market basket is too small and too over crowded for the city. finally all parking lots for market baskets are terrible!! read more

Great prices on Haagen dazs ice cream. Great prices, great prices. (Have I filled up enough letters here?)

Not comfortable with the Trump set up in front of Market Basket... this puts a Black Cloud over the store. Even though manager claims they have no jurisdiction because they lease the lot, it sure makes the store look BAD! This needs to go!!! read more

I don't know how to review. Aisles crammed ceiling to floor with stuff--it hurts my brain to be in this store. Ugly as heck. The produce looks pretty good and the prices on some things are quite good-but if you are claustrophobic, I can't recommend. Perhaps this is a tourist season thing? read more

If it was only once I could be more understanding with Market Basket Woodbury Ave. BUT...This is the 7 th...!SEVEN! Times we have spent good money on what appears to be a nice juicy steak because the front of the package looks great. Problem is...we get it home ...geat ready for that cookout( as the package describes) annnnd flip it over! WHAT DO WE FIND!? NOTHING BUT UNEDABLE FAT AND GR!IZZLE! Not even one quarter of this steak was of any use. So much for the "Cookout!" Thanks Market Basket Meat Department! You Have Failed Us Once Again!...Very Sad! read more

I always buy beef to cook for myself and my dogs so I usually stock up a little and put some in the freezer .... Well I started to cook a couple pounds for dinner. I started to stir it around when I noticed something odd in the pan .... A nasty bandage.... With hair still on it .... I will never buy beef or any fresh products from this place ever again ... absolutely nasty. read more

See all

This is why I don't shop here. Fix your time thing. It's says 7:00 closed. Guess what it closes at 8 and not 7. Yeah that's not the problem. There is no customer service. Girl and bagger shoot the breeze with the girl in front of me. FYI they were the register closes to the customer service booth. But no hi how are you with me. Because after I moved away another came up behind and they were hi how are you. What is it because I am a different race. I grew up here. So learn your manners. Stop the Asian hate assholes. Learn some Manners. Also it eggs. You bag it alone or it wail crack. They put a bag of ice and mangos and stuff with it. How frigging stupid are you. Never going to come back to this annoying store. This is the store I lost my wallet and it got returned but missing over $800 dollars. read more

October 9 went into get some cooked lobster but was on the cusp of closing. Young seafood/deli girl was more than accommodating. I can't thank her enough for making my night. Great service kudos to her!! read more

It used to be nice now they have a gang of Thugs as managers not so good at customer service as it was I guess they are getting to big for their britches. One rude little old lady so called assistant store manager told me she was gonna throw Me out for life because I didn't buy anything I guess .... I've been a customer Since the first opened the lower prices Aren't worth being treated like that over Not to mention the crowded aisles ect... Too much I'll pay more someplace else for A much better shopping experience than this place..... read more

Here is why you get a five! For caring about your customers. Open at 530am to 7:00am for seniors - for being able to get what they can't get when the stores open at regular times. For a lot of seniors its so hard to get out to the stores and you made it so much easier with this plan. Thank you to the decision makers and thank you to the staff - everyone was awake, efficient and helpful. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! I've been shopping at Demoulas/Market Basket my entire life. I was lucky enough to join your employees and many other loyal customers in Tewksbury a few years ago for the demonstrations. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Yes, older store, yes smaller aisles - but always better prices and always great staff. You guy truly rock and you have my gratitude and loyalty tied up for as long as I am out shopping. Hang in there during this trying time. read more

Market Basket earned my respect when years ago one of the owners (Arthur?), stood up to his family and the board to protect his employees and customers. The store has also always maintained a good selection of food at very fair prices. Unfortunately, their Covid policies have been very weak, allowing too many customers into the store at one time, no oversight of proper mask wearing by customers and employees, and no enforcement of social distancing other than directional signs on the floor. So sadly, my family has opted to shop at Hannaford and Trader Joe's where they are much more diligent about protecting the safety of everyone in their stores amidst this pandemic. read more

I was at this Market Basket this afternoon. Although all the employees were 'masked', one bagger was wearing a mask made from one layer of an old t-shirt so thin you could see through it. I saw two others wearing masks below their noses. Every shopper I saw was properly masked and observing social distance as best we could. Your mask protects me; my mask protects you. Until management explains and enforces proper masking, I will not return. My safety and the safety of those I love matters more than shopping here. read more

For the company as a whole, generally prices are a better deal than the competition, including, in some circumstances, the 'big box' mass marketers - with the caveat the those competitors' specials, especially in meats, sometimes represent a better value. On occasion, the quality of a produce item can be problematic, however, it is never a problem if one takes the time to *look* at the items. Of the various branches in NH with which I am familiar, the Newington and Stratham stores are clearly the leaders overall. Best discount deals and other elements which reflect superior skills by the location managers, easily demonstrated by their conduct as they circulate the floor. read more

This review is simply based on the beer selection and prices. We shop at a lot of market baskets and have always been happy with the service, quality and price At this location the beer selection is superb and extremely well priced. I a, a bit of a beer geek and like to find beers from local breweies. This location has a great selection and pricing for beers. Not only domestic and imports, but craft beers as well. Nye also have a decent selection of 22oz bottles. Great prices. $6 less for a 12pack of Sierra Nevada than I pay in Mass. read more

Market Basket - Bottle selection. - Grocery Near Me - Portsmouth, New Hampshire

I love Market Basket in general, it's a great company. I routinely shop at the Somersworth, Laffayette and Woodbury Ave. locations depending on where I am in my busy schedule. Never had a problem in Somersworth or Portsmouth on Laffayette, but the Woodbury Ave location is staffed with some of the rudest people I've ever had the misfortune to encounter (with a couple of notable exceptions- they should go work at a better location). This isn't a review prompted by some one-off bad experience, I'm talkin' EVERY TIME I go there the employees are snotty, unfriendly, bad tempered and lack even rudimentary customer service skills. I've read the other reviews her and don't see much mention of this, and yet I hear local people talk about it all the time. Management should do something about this, unless of course the management is the problem. read more

Market Basket is a decent supermarket. Prices are better than Shaw's, Hannaford's, and Fresh Market. I like Hannaford's better because it's more convenient and the produce lasts a little longer, but Market Basket will be cheaper. My favorite answer to supermarket shopping is to cross the bridge and go to Kittery. The combination of Golden Harvest, Carl's, Terra Cotta, Beach Pea, and Hebert's are way better than any supermarket but Market Basket is cheaper than the Kittery stores too. read more

Well, thanks to Yelp I was able to find this very efficient grocery on my way to Maine. It's not dazzling, just basic, but shopping in NH means no sales tax on anything and no deposits on every bit of plastic that you buy (I like to stock up on designer bubbles water). On the day I went they had an incredible deal on deli roast beef, $4.99/lb. for some awesome rare delicious beef. I haven't encountered rb this good in a long time, which hints at their butcher dept. being on the ball. Easy to get to from I-95. read more

If you are looking for value in grocery shopping....as they say in Salt Lake City "this is the place" There is no atmosphere..period, the Belgian owners of Hannaford win that in spades. The produce is pretty good, what they claim they are known for...but it almost always wrapped,so forget about small portions. The house brands are usually pretty good, often on sale and way less expensive than brand names. As a family company they do not have to pay off big debts courtesy of their investment bankers. They do not require you to give up your privacy to get a fair price (ditto Hannaford). Gave up years of shopping at Shaws after they got bought out for the umpteenth time and require your life history to receive a fair price. Oh did I say free coffee? (caveat: the regular stuff is often unavailable..so only decaf is still on tap) They frequently have specials with very low prices.... read more

I recently moved cross-town from the area near the Lafayette Rd. store to an area near the Woodbury Ave. store. To all exterior appearances, they look very similar -- but a closer look reveals significant issues with the Woodbury Ave. store. First, it is smaller, and thus the aisles are narrower and more cramped. Secondly, it is nowhere near as clean or well-maintained. My third issue is the layout -- it makes no sense in places. In most stores the paper goods and cleaning products are in adjacent aisles (as they are on Lafayette Rd.); here they are four aisles apart. But the "last straw" is the check-out experience: always crowded, always slow -- and the checkers are more interested in talking to each other than providing service to the customer. It is high time Portsmouth had a nice Market Basket like the stores in Seabrook and Epping. read more

Right next to my parents house and my old residence at osprey landing, friendly environment, great food and selection and competitive pricing I still remember spending long minutes staring at the kitty food trying to get the right ones for my cat kitty. Now that I moved to NYC, I stack up on stuff every time I visit my folks. I recommend them over Wal mart for sure read more

Nice place. Clean and friendly cashier. They have good food as well. At least that was my experience.

Prices are great, but cleanliness not so much the meat counter area smelt bad and there bathroom are some what clean but just gross looking in need of new floors and toilet seats. read more

I've been comparison shopping on the Seacoast for a while and the prices at Market Basket just can't be beat. Meats are fresh; veggies are usually looking pretty good and they accept internet coupons. Staff has been pleasant and when I've got my hands full with the kids they've even helped me get my cart & groceries out to the car. I'm thrilled that they have begun posting coupons on the grocery aisles. And if you're there with the kids you can get free American cheese slices at the deli and cookies at the bakery to keep little hands (and mouths) occupied while you shop. read more

Love it! Good selection, great prices, and SERVICE! They are old-school with guys in jackets and ties. Not Hoity-Toity upscale, just excellence. read more

You should not buy food from a deli/meat section/seafood section that smells like someone is behind the counter microwaving my dog some wet dog food. The whole place is filled with horrible smells of rotting meat fish, filled with employees everywhere blocking the isles, and horrible service. And if you say lowest prices in town , Go to walmart !!! It doesn't smell it's clean and 2 people can walk down the aisle at the same time . Also this is a direct conversation from me and a employee last week: Me : excuse me, where is your Tupperware? Employee: what's that? Me: Tupperware? Glad makes them so does rubbermade , there're containers. Employee: I'm not sure what those are. Me: YOU PUT FOOD IN THE CONTAINER TO STORE FOR LATER? It's CLEAR! Employee:oh those are right here. Nice job. read more

This is where we've been shopping every week for decades. It's not perfect but close to. They've done a nice job integrating organic products and produce and meats. Yes the aisles are tight. Yes the kids overfill the bags you bring in. But they're good folks there, I can find what I need, prices are great, and employees seem to enjoy their work environment (at least the adults lol). And we're addicted to their sourdough bread (if we don't go upscale at Beach Pea). read more

This store has great prices on almost everything and when you compare the prices to those at Hannaford, shaw's or stop & shop you will see why people drive 30 miles to shop there. read more

This is our first choice when shopping. Not fancy, but supplies necessities at very reasonable prices. Selection is good, but not great and I think that is just do to space. Prices are better than all but Walmart. Can be busy, busy, busy and long lines. But overall they are our first choice. read more

Extremely inconsistent with stocking products. Don't get me wrong, i love MB and support it whole heartedly, but they're so inconsistent with stocking product that it's really irritating...ugh. read more

I love the market basket chain because their prices are really great. The one thing I don't like about this store are the right isles and the huge crowds, no matter what time of day you go. The parking lot is also a zoo. But good place to buy groceries none the less. read more

I was excited to check out a Market Basket store after hearing all the hype about the low, low prices so when I saw this location from the street after driving around frantically trying to find a gas station off 95, I had to stop in. This store does get points for being very clean and well maintained but I didn't think the prices were super, crazy low. They do have their own Market Basket brand of stuff which is a good price, but in some cases the sale prices of name brand items were the same price as the MB brand items. Also, their sale prices on some name brand items were not that exceptional. For example, they were selling Wheat Thins for 2/$5 but I just picked up a bunch at CVS last week for 2/$4. Blah. Also, the prices their fruits and vegetables I found to be on par with other large grocery stores. I did end up stockpiling their Market Basket brand flavored seltzer water which was 69 cents for a 2 liter. Now that's a good deal. I'd stop in again if I was in the area, but I caution you to be sketpical of all the low, low prices hype. read more
