I sure hope this doesn't last, as I worry it won't be long before I read a headline in the local paper announcing that, "Star Market Sold to Soviet Supermarket Chain". That would explain a lot.

Didn't know how to read, and only point. I was looking for a specific item ... I even spelled it out for the lady and she kept on pointing at items as this is that ? I'm like can you read ? They're definitely short staffed. However, the bagger was really nice and even went the extra mile and help me with my bundles out of the store. I didn't catch his name but I did want to thank him again Customer Service that lady just didn't seem interested in helping. More about standing behind The, Counter and looking important .

The dumplings, scallion pancakes, chicken dishes, turkey meatballs, turkey burgers, fried rice, edamame, and also the croissants and baked goods! We go in for a couple things and leave with two bags full lol ;)!! The service was great too - we were just going to wait in line at one of the checkout lanes when a friendly guy came up to us and brought us over to one of the open lanes and helped us check out there. The restroom was reasonably clean and the exhaust fan was on but still was a bit stinky. The door had a full length mirror though which is a nice touch and I've never seen that in grocery store bathrooms. Parking was easy and it's right on the highway so easy to get to. Was not too crowded so we were in and out quick!

Worse thing they did was changing opening hours to 9!! Some people like to go before work or early…read moreon a weekend.

I did need some assistance today and the lady behind the Service desk was so helpful. I wanna again thank her but the lady behind the register I can't say what she was on this thing but use your imagination. I did make a small complaint to the Manager, but he said he would take care of it. My experience with her was more about what's convenient for her and not what was better for me. The Customer Service Manager took care of it but again why pass off responsibility to someone else. * FYI I was advised that the handicapped vehicle was lost or stolen.

Huge store, nice and bright. Has quite a good section of prepared foods. Just got a couple sandwiches to go - I got the chicken Caesar wrap and the hubs got the Italian sub. I have also picked up some soups here before. Service was friendly at the cashier at the checkout.

Ignore the haters, this is a solid grocery store. I live in Harvard Square and I come out here for…read moregroceries and have been for 20 years. The prices are actually sustainable, unlike most of the places in Cambridge/somerville, Boston. Many of the same folks have been working here for 10+ yrs. It's got the hometown feel and the prices are decent. Sure, it's not perfect or pristine, but it's solid. If you want curated dinners go blow your savings at Whole Foods or Wegmans. This is the kind of grocery store you want to stay.

I have been to this store numerous times. I love their selection of olive oils. I don't think…read morethere's any better place in the greater Boston area for olive oil and greek yogurt. They import their olive oil from Greece. The ones I have had are fruity, slightly bitter, nutty, and slightly burns your throat when it goes down. Their homemade greek yogurt is so creamy and dense. It almost feels like you're are chewing on yogurt. Probably the best Greek yogurt I have had. I am also a fan of their meat pies; the crispy phyllo pastry and the well seasoned meat are addictive. The staff is always welcoming. They have helped me answer questions regarding which olive oil to buy. They have a lot of exotic meat, cheese (some even from Bulgaria), and grains selection. Honestly, I really like this place. Give them a visit.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking it might have been a fluke, and have since stopped in a couple more times. Yesterday I purchased a block of cheddar cheese that wasn't set to expire until six months from now, but realized after eating some that it was totally moldy at the bottom. I'm not sure what's going on here with regards to food safety, but it seems they're pretty lacking in that regard.

I am new to the area and went for the first time tonight because I read online they carried a specific brew I was looking for. When I arrive, I was amazed by how great this place really is... think Whole Foods meets your liquor and convenience needs. All the food items had a hand picked feel, health conscious options with such variety! One of the stores family members (I believe the owners son) was as the register and was such a pleasure to speak with -- very friendly and polite. I told him I was so exited to find the store and that I will definitely be coming back! Who wants to make a trip to the grocery when you can drive down the street, not stress and buy food (even fresh produce) for any meal?!
