This piggly is a bit newer and nicer than a lot of the ones I've been to in Birmingham. I've always had great interactions with the cashiers and other staff here. While I don't shop primarily for groceries here, they do have a lot of harder to find brands and great deli selections. Most things run a little pricier but not by much. Where I think this piggly excels is their coffee and beer selection. The coffee aisle has a lot of local coffee beans, and outside of Whole Foods it's hard to find a lot of whole bean coffee. It's one of the main reasons I frequent this piggly so often! They also have a great beer selection that's stocked with the latest releases. read more

Fan-tastic! The last time I went (along with all the other times) has been wonderful. The staff is amazing, and are always kind to help. I love Cindy and Max and Madison. They are super knowledgeable and always greeting me so friendly. Tyler offered my little boy a balloon, and Matt the manager played with him while we were checking out. He ended up giving him a little heart shaped toy to occupy his time while we were finishing up with Kaitlyn, the cashier. She was also very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this PW. Even the security guys who are there are super nice and always greeting me. read more

BEST MEAT DEPARTMENT in all locations. I shop BLUFF PARK New Store! Excellent MEATS and PRODUCE. The best customer service and team members by far. The new location is full of local flavors. The deli has wonderful aromatherapy for my selecting great lunches. Great music and easy to shop food aisles Mahe a joy to shop. I miss Mr. Philip, but Lenny has done very well! Thank you for being here and giving us a chance to avoid the CHAIN GROCERY STORES THAT DO NOT CARRY FRESH ALABAMA PRODUCTS. read more

I'm updating this review because I came in again on a Saturday and just browsed. This is a small market but I can see why people who are local would enjoy shopping here. Customer service is good and the staff here were just great. At least 2 people asked me if they could help me find something. They were really very friendly and made some good suggestions. If you are looking for anything locally made, come here. Chances are they sell it. I saw so many things for sale here that I have seen for sale at Pepper Place. I love that they carry so many local products. I even saw beignet mix from Cafe Dumond that I previously bought in New Orleans. They have a really good selection of wine and beer and I would say 75 percent of their wine was on sale. So if you are in the area, definitely check it out! read more

Overall really impressed with this small location located in the heart of Bluff Park. I have been in a couple Piggly Wiggly's and none of them are huge grocery stores. They take great advantage of their space and have an overall good amount of stock on hand. So where they differ a little than the other grocery stores in the area is the available selection. They have the brand names, obviously because they are known and to compete with the other stores in the area. They may not have a ton on hand, but they do have it and at a reasonable price. So what sets them apart is the non-household name brands they carry. This really stood out when I was looking at the Salsa they had on hand. Several kinds I have not seen in other stores. These items tend to be a little more than the household name brands, but if you are looking for something different and are feeling a little adventurous this is a great place to try and find something new spice up a normal meal. Another place they shine is on the liquor isles. I was in shock to see the space they had set aside for the beer they carry on tap. Reasonable priced growlers and excellent pricing to get them filled. A little bit of everything and some a little more obscure that can be found on tap. Plan on trying this out soon! They also have an exceptionally large beer and wine selection, especially when you take into consideration the overall size of the store. Several different styles of beer I haven't seen anywhere else. Pretty cool! Staff was friendly and available through out the store and made sure that I didn't need anything. I would recommend to anyone that is looking for something a little different. I plan on returning soon! read more

The Pig is totally A-OK. It's definitely nothing fancy and I can't use it as my primary store, but it absolutely serves its purpose. That purpose being a convenient stop when you forget a thing or two at the bigger, nicer, cleaner store. Because of the size, the selection seems to be about 75% of the big stores. With that said, the beer selection is much more extensive that a lot of places. While we are talking about good things, I've gotten several steaks here that were as good as I've ever had. Pig, you are like my distant family member that I like seeing every now and then, but don't want to hang with every day. That means I love you, by the way. read more

in the last week The meat department is unbelievably atrocious. Only 3 packs of filets on display for sale. All were out of date and rancid. Check out these pics. It seems they are more interested in selling craft beer than quality food product. The only "manager" we could find to alert the problem to was too busy fraternizing with the beer rep to talk to us. Such a shame, as this location has the potential to be a nice neighborhood store. read more

Piggly Wiggly - a display in a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

When I lived in Homewood, this was the closest available grocery, so I tended to use it for the quick stop type items: brew, milk,sugar, sassafras leaves, plaster of Paris, the usual stuff. It definitely has its high and low points. Being from GA, I am not used to seeing Piggly Wiggly's often. In fact, I believe that most of them in GA have gone out of business. When I visited Myrtle Beach on vacation one year, I found a Pig and they sold the "I'm Big on the Pig" shirts, which had a Pigs head on the front and a pigs hind quarters on the back. I love that shirt. Typically, that is the shirt I wear when I am setting out on a quest to consume the best Bacon dishes an area has to offer. Anyway, I just am not used to seeing Piggly Wiggly stores. The ones I used to see were all dirty and grimy, not a place that you would want to purchase groceries from. This one in Homewood has the initial appearance of filth, but actually isn't too bad. I do have an issue with the parking. The lot is very narrow, where at times it feels like you could be backing out of your parking space onto Highway 31, which is no good. There is also some confusing parts blocked off, where you get disoriented in how to get out of the parking lot. This is insane, because the parking lot is about 6 feet wide, but somehow, it happens. Some people like to try the food from their Deli. I tried the Country Fried Steak with Okra and some type of cheese potatoes. It was average, at best. To be fair, it was around 2 PM and I think they were about to shut down the hot foods at the deli, so I may have been getting the scraps. The service was friendly, though, and the portions were large. The positive thing about this Grocery store is the Craft Brew selection. While it is actually a quite small store, there is a large selection of both local and national craft brews. This makes me a happy boy, typically. So I will continue to utilize this location if I am in the area, even if only for a quick pick up. I have heard rumor of a quite Posh Pig in another area, I may have to venture out and experiment. read more

Great, local grocery store in the Bluff Park area. Have been here many times to grab some quick groceries but also to get beer and occasionally wine. Their selection is HUGE and they have anywhere from 15-20 beers on tap; so, if you have a growler, bring it on in. They usually let you taste some to figure out what you want to take with you! CONS: smaller store, so you may not find all the grocery items you need; this also makes for longer and crowded lines on busier days; also a bit pricey depending on what you buy PROS: Friendly staff, great beverage selection, and very convenient if you live in the Hoover/Bluff Park area. Never had a bad experience here, so will keep going back! read more

This Piggly Wiggly is in my neighborhood, so it's very convenient when I need to make a quick run for something. The good: They have one of the best beer and wine selections out of any grocery store in this area. They offer double coupons every day and have great prices all around. The staff has always been pretty friendly. Not so good: It's a smaller store, so they don't carry all the things I get on my normal grocery run. They don't offer the selection of locally grown veggies that most of the other Pigs have. I've run across some produce going bad on many visits. Usually the onions. read more

I used to be a loyal customer in this store. My husband and I even went out of town just to get to this location. Well, never again! I was in there the other day and I asked a cashier very politely for a copy of the coupon policy. She snapped, "NO!" I told her to forget it and she once again snapped, "Well, you have to go to our website!" So, I called up the manager to complain and to tell him that I wouldn't be back. He apologized and said that he'd say something. Fair enough, but then he said, "I'd hate to lose your business." I stood there and waited for him to say something else, but he didn't. He was mute. So I just told him OK and hung up. I didn't expect him to start crying and beg me for my business. He didn't have to give me a gift card, either. But when other stores have disappointed me, the manager would say that they wanted me as a customer. They made me feel valued. It's not hard to say sorry and then say that you want someone as a customer and their business, instead of just passively saying that you'd hate to lose it and not making any sort of an effort to keep it! Well, it really makes me feel disappointed that they didn't care, but oh well. From now on, Publix will get my business. read more

I gotta give some mad shout-outs to the amazing management and cashiers of "the Pig" in Bluff Park!! The place is clean, the staff is friendly and the management is helpful. NEVER a problem in this place whether I go in at opening time or near closing. These folks seem to have not forgotten the concept of CUSTOMER SERVICE !! Did you big box corporate stores hear that?! FRESH produce and a new produce tent with locally grown veggies and fruits from locally owned farms. Chilton County peaches can be purchased here in season for example. Let's talk about meat products which are also FRESH! This place has real trained butchers who actually inspect what they put on the shelves. The art and science of meat cutting is still alive here and they will do anything for you FAST. The final thing that puts this place over the top is the great selection of wines and beers. They even have wine and beer tasting on certain nights of the week where new products may be sampled. I am a loyal customer here when I am in town. I go nearly everyday. Oh yeah...you can also pay a phone bill here if you need to do so for a buck-fifty. This place is a one stop shop. read more

Piggly Wiggly - a car parked in front of a store - Grocery Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Great beer and wine selections with a knowledgeable staff. They carry a lot of lacolly crafted salsas, bbq sauces, honey, cookies, etc. They are always bringing in new items that you can't find anywhere else. Just ask and they will find it and atock it. LOTS of items seen on shark tank read more

My rating is based solely on the beer/wine department. But just the beer. I'm sure the wine is great, but THE BEER! Talk about selection. And now their draft to go wall is up to 20 taps, at prices that are unrivaled in Birmingham. I've seen Snakehandler here for $10.99 for a half gallon. That's a good $5 cheaper than most other draft to go places. Cheers to Piggly Wiggly keeping Bluff Park Craftly Beerly! read more
