Opening their first store in 1994, the family operation has grown to 10 stores locally and ancillary businesses. The stores are complete and take care to offer a wide selection of both local and national brands, as well as a meat counter, bakery, liquor and other services. This particular store has an amazing "hot bar" as well as salads one can construct on their own. The hot bar has an extremely wide selection of choices, including chicken, fish, sausages, potatoes, soups and stews. They load the bar up early, and the location was across the street from where I was staying, so I headed over for some breakfast to take out (there are also some tables outdoors). I went back several times during my stay. This was my regular store when I lived down here, got totaled by Katrina (me too) and it took some years to come back. Now better and bigger than ever. I always stop on my way out of town, to stock up on my favorite local foods that I can't get in the snow belt. By the way, it's pronounced RO-berr (silent "t'). read more

Robert Fresh Market - Breakfast from the hot bar. - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The little market that could. While this is a full blown grocery store, it's smaller footprint packs a powerful punch. There's an amazing array of products and they seem to be well curated. One of the first things I noticed when I walked in was the heavenly aroma of the self-serve hot bar. I had to convince myself to move on and not be seduced allure of hot food ready to eat. I had a mission, and I needed to get provisions for our visit to New Orleans- onward I marched. The grocery selection is very impressive. There were many gourmet products as well as typical, mainstream brands. Overall, we (this was a girls trip and we needed to stock our rental) were able to find what everyone needed. At the end of our trip the cashier was very friendly and sweet and we began the walk back to our rental with everything we needed to get our vacation started. I only wish I was able to try some of the items on the hot bar, but this just incentivizes me to come back and give it a whirl! Oh and house packed Honey Roasted Peanut Butter is phenomenal- I loved it so much- a great fuel for exploring the streets of NOLA. read more

Dear Robert, the chuck boneless tender steak is the most abominable cut of meat I've ever encountered. Though I applaud the initiative in trying as a small insignificant grocery chain to produce new things in the meat world, this attempt was a complete failure. The cut is as tough as a Doc Martin and equally rubbery, and there is no other word to describe the meat than "spikey" my mouth was inexplicably cut several times while eating it. Adieu, read more

Robert Fresh Market - Behold, Chuck boneless tender steak. - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I think the employees need customer service training. Will walk right in front of you and never say excuse me. The cashier not all but most look like they hate being there and eating. Some checking their phones while checking you out. Please do better. read more

I am not a NOLA native, so I may have been overly impressed with the prepared food. The boiled crawfish are only $6 a lb and are very fresh. The shucked oysters and fresh local fish on Friday (catfish, red fish and drum) are recommended. Good selection of the house marinated vegetables and prepared foods. The almond chicken salad, the crawfish corn bread stuffing, fried crab balls, fried chicken, Mac n cheese, muffuletta, and black eyed peas are great. The collard greens and the desserts near the food bar were meh. The bbq brisket was inconsistent, could be good at times. The soup bar was disappointing except for the gumbo. At home, I would heat up the gumbo with the shucked oysters and shrimp for a great dinner. Good selection of blue runner canned foods, like creole beans, gumbo base etc... it is not the cheapest place to shop but if you don't want to get take out, this is a great alternative. read more

I had a very uncomfortable and escalating experience at this store that needs to be addressed. On April 26, 2026 at approximately 8:15 PM, I handed the cashier cash directly, and she took it from my hand. However, when returning my change, she refused to hand it back to me and instead placed it on the counter. When I asked why, she said she "couldn't reach that far," even though she had just reached out to take my money moments before. That explanation didn't make sense and felt intentional. As I calmly questioned this, a security guard stepped in and told me, "you better get out of here before I call the police." I was not being aggressive--I was simply asking about how I was being treated. Being threatened with police over that was unnecessary and humiliating. In addition, the individual working at the customer service desk was also dismissive and treated me in a disrespectful manner during this visit, which added to the overall experience. This experience also raises serious concerns about how different customers are treated. Based on what I've seen, individuals who are Black or appear to be lower income or possibly homeless seem to be treated with less respect. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses it. read more

Went there for some coffee and bagels, to avoid the cafe prices. Wound up grabbing breakfast at the hot buffet. Grits, eggs, and andouille sausage. Great biscuits too. read more

We've given up on Robert unfortunately, and it is 6 blocks from our house. The staff is always very rude, the aisles are always blocked with boxes and staff, the produce and meat don't look fresh, and the lines to check out are always long. I possibly could overlook this, but the kicker is their prices are astronomically higher than other stores. We do Wal-Mart delivery now. It's a pity, because it could be nice. read more

Great neighborhood market in the Elysian Fields neighborhood! The market has vast offerings of land and turf. Food to Alcohol (wine/beer/spirits). The prices are reasonable as compared to costs of the market's closer to the French Quarter! The staff were friendly and helpful & I wish they had a delivery service to homes and hotels in the area..that would make them 5-Star perfect! read more

They raise their prices almost every week. When they get a new item, like these Yasso ice cream pops, they charge almost 200% more than the price at Whole Foods. I'm starting to believe the only reason they stay in business is the location, and the tourists who don't know any better. read more

Robert Fresh Market - $9 for Yasso pops. They are $5 at Rouses and $6 at Whole Foods. - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So I'll hit you with the negative. Robert is NOLA Whole Foods. But there are no deals for Amazon Prime members. It's PRICEY yo. But the prepared foods seemed fresh, they had a LARGE selection of food that catered to any diet, and it was RIGHT across the street from our Airbnb. The staff is super Louisiana sweet, and the store is clean and we'll stocked. The only complaint I had was no more Texas Ranch water in the intial brand we found, and I was saddened by that. No complaints from the Tum, just the wallet! They do not have the best toiletry/pharmacy selection, but aside from that it's pretty great!! read more

This store is the worst Robert market I've ever been to and ZORO customer service plus all their cashiers look either high or scary, they won't smile or not even say ONE word.... The hot bar prices are ridiculously high as well, IDK ROBERT HR NEED TO SEE THIS!!! read more

The biggest issue with this store is customer service.The cashiers are so rude here. They outright ignore you when you say good morning, thank you, anything. They even continue phone conversations at the register with you right there. It's bizarre. read more

I enjoyed the lay out of the store and friendly staff easy to get to. The cheese selection was nice! I would definitely go back

I'm unfortunately forced to shop here because of the convenience of its location. However I do not recommend this store to anyone on a budget. Even if you're not on a budget I'd recommend shopping at another place. Poor selection of products that are always overpriced when compared to their competitors. That being said the staff are remarkable and always helpful. sometimes going so far as to recommend sales at other grocery stores. read more

This place is the BEST ! Open late, and very clean. There was a wide assortment of foodstuffs to choose from. Perfect for a late dinner.

I love this store. They have cooked  food for purchase that's flavored well. It's clean and has a great variety. The prices are pretty typical of a grocery store. The parking may get tight sometimes, but for the most part, you can usually find a spot. read more

Roberts definitely has a great food bar. Their prices are high-ish but they do have a wide variety of things to choose from. It's a great little neighborhood store but you get what you pay for. It didn't have tons and tons to choose from but it does have a variety of options. I'm going to have to come back and buy meals from here. I went back again and the hot food bar was okay. Not a mail to call in love with, but solid choices. read more

Where do I start oh RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. so is the front cashier Cynthia or Cheryl whatever her name is! They Do Not have good customer service skills at all, Roy seems like he got race issues and never want to be at work. I wish another store take over. I found a cream cheese and sweet potato pie that was out dared by 2 days, I asked him to discount it and he said "No we don't do that" left it in the case and walked away. Sir it's past the sell by date! Just awful he doesn't care about nothing but a paycheck. read more

Robert Fresh Market - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I love the fact that Robert opened location on Elysian Fields. it was much needed! I love the variety of products and especially the speciality foods. HOWEVER, for the price they charge, and its an extremely expensive place to shop at, comparing maybe to Whole Foods, some say it's more expensive , this place should work perfectly well. I have no idea who ( and if anybody is managing this location). There is plenty of evidence of stealing ( people eat food , leave wrappers on the shelves ) but what really shocked me, today a cashier was causually talking on the phone while working!!!!! nobody bothered to do anything, she was talking to the person on the phone and me and other people! is that the new reality we are in? No respect for the customer? work? Please , have a manager who is actually controlling your workers. read more

Sad. Purchased heavy whipping cream, got it home and it was lumpy and soured. The French bread started turning green in 2 days. Just not feeling safe with their food. The prices are high, way to high for spoiled food. read more

Tempted to give them a 4th star simply because I'm so glad they're here, but tbh, three is the accurate rating. With a little effort, you'll probably find what you're after, but won't likely feel totally satisfied. This little market has so much potential. They packed a lot into a relatively small space. I wondered if that's why it feels crowded and cluttered, but I'm convinced it's just sloppy merchandising and lack of passion. Case in point, look at the pictures from a few years ago when they first opened and compare them to current pics. They had the same departments at that point, but it was much easier to navigate. The staff, for the most part, seems indifferent and not engaged. There are exceptions, of course, and in fact one staff member was borderline helpful today. The others did their best to avoid eye contact. Oh, and the prices are noticeably higher than what I'm used to at Rouse's on Baronne or even Fresh Market on St Charles, both of which are much more pleasant to shop. Bottom line, I'll pop onto Robert's in a pinch and will likely find what I need, but when I'm serious about making groceries you'll find me elsewhere. read more

I bought some boil shrimps and from what I can tell whatever they don't sell they will bring it out the next day to sell. The shrimps were dry and they were bad!! A few of them were slimy!! I emailed the store and I haven't received a response. I will not be buying they boil shrimps again. My kids and I could've gotten sick. Very disappointed read more

It is great to finally have a grocery store in the Marigney/Bywater. Robert's has a great selection of pre-cooked items my favorite are the smoked salmon, chicken and steaks. It also has a good selection of liquor, wines and beers plus the usual grocery items. For me it lacks in the produce department especially in the fresh lettuce section. Other than that it can be pricey on a few items. read more

Loving it ALREADY!!! Newly opened about 3 weeks ago as of today January 13, 2018; HELLO & WELCOME to the neighborhood!!!!! Love the clean open loom of the store. It's fashioned, similar to the previous store in this same location; Schwegmann's, I can see me here MANY NIGHTS for a midnight snack run. The aisles are small, but considering all that's packed inside, it's no wonder. Love the fresh floral area. And the pizza oven, THIS GIRL LOVESSSSSSSS PIZZA... Oh and there SUSHI!!!!! Can you say Winnnning on all levels???? I think most people ae pleasently surprised at the quick building process and the overall look and feel of this location. Parking is a bit scarce, but hey, again, whadduya expect? read more

The old Black woman at customer service should learn how to speak and at least don't come off as racist. She helped the African American woman before me. She was very friendly. I came up and she shook her head at me. I said what's wrong. Shift change. No, im sorry boo, nothing. Shift change. Ok. I'll wait. It'll be quick younger lady told me. 15 ?minutes is quick. 15 mins is lazy. I'd fire the old lady. Robert's why does it take 15 minutes in the middle of the day to change shifts? A good grocer can do that in a minute. I own a store on Bourbon Street. I'd never let customers wait that long. Secondly the old lady needs to be friendly and speak up. I realize she's wearing a mask, I'm great with that. But, she needs to speak up. I can't read her mind. Secondly don't treat one race differently from another. That's racism. read more

I am happy to have a store in the neighborhood that's bigger than the co-op but I have had it with the horrible berry selection/storage. Y'all are charging ungodly prices for basic things and I have NEVER EVER bought berries from here without seeing things covered in mold. You have to pick through. Even the grapes had mold today. I was so annoyed I just left. I just want to be able to make a grocery run for school lunch and not have to worry about everything being half rotten. Would be so great if you guys could fix the refrigeration problem you must know you have. 3 stars bc we need it, the folks who work there are nice and im hopeful y'all will get pricing right for the neighborhood and take better care with your produce. Id rather not go elsewhere but you don't give me much of a choice read more

Love this place favorite grocery outlet in all of Louisiana. There chicken was amazing and there Mac and cheese was good as well service was great as well and very clean inside . And cashiers are very nice and helpful read more

Everything you need. The Bellegarde baked breads are out of this world. Best baguette this side of the Atlantic.

This is the only grocery store in my neighborhood. Everything is ridiculously overpriced; the prices exceed Whole Foods by miles. Frozen egg rolls for $12. Granola for $10. Little cups of yogurt for $2.50. I will go there in a pinch for broth or bananas but I get the feeling that management is greedy. There is no need to gouge customers for products at these prices. Avoid read more

Overpriced items. And I probably wouldn't mind IF it was convenient. The liquor counter is THE worst. Always a long line. Only one register open and usually 3-4 people in a huddle trying to figure something out. Either they don't know anything about spirits or they don't know how to print out anything but the most basic lottery ticket. Train them better or fire them and get better employees. read more

Stocks expired food in the freezers/coolers at the front instead of pulling it from the shelves. If it says use or freeze by June and it's august! Maybe throw it out and don't let some unsuspecting customer grab it. 6$ down the drain. Check the dates, because clearly they can't be bothered. read more

Robert Fresh Market - 2 months expired sausages. - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Where to begin. Well, I go here about 3-4 times a week. It is a little pricey, but hey it's not Walmart. Always clean. Employees are always VERY friendly and helpful! They have a salad, breakfast, and lunch/dinner bar!! This little grocery store stays with all the best brands and everything you'll need for your home. The only reason I gave it the 4 stars was because of it being a bit overpriced with a lot of things, but that's really not a complaint! read more

Robert Fresh Market - Passing the bakery with my mini-me while grocery shopping @ Roberts - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Robert's is a great market. This new location is very accessible. The prepared food is plentiful and delicious. It is not the cheapest option but I still go. I wish they were open later however and had indoor seating. The outdoor seating is a little grim, it's not a cute atmosphere. To my excitement I learned they now have their own version of Poké bowls! If you ask nicely you can even get one custom-ish. It was so yummy! Mine featured crab salad and crawfish! Amazing. For around $9 which was great. I'm also a big fan of they ready made sandwich. It a good quick bite. Robert's makes me feel a little fancy and I like that! read more

Robert Fresh Market - Robert's does Poke now! - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

A *real* supermarket in the Marigny, with friendly people saying hello as you peruse the bright aisles, lots of grab & go options (hot/cold bar, pizza counter, coffee counter), a glorious wine department, tons of prepackaged produce and other fridge section prepared snacks/meals that you can easily pop into a microwave or oven, plus flowers/gifty items too. Yes, this is very much geared towards convenience because the immediate surrounding areas (St Roch/Marigny) are heavily populated by visitors. I realize this annoys locals, but I have a fondness for it because it reminds me of my beloved Korean delis in NYC (minus the 24 hour part). Their selection of vegan/organic stuff is a humble beginning (though, 7+ bucks for packaged yuba noodles? I don't think so) but could use serious improvement, as it's regulated to a couple shelves in the refrigerated section. More vegan cheese, please! Props for the huge non dairy milk selection! Prices are definitely higher than Winn Dixie and hover around the same as Rouses, which is a similar type of more bougie market offering up specialty items. There are sales. Just look for them. 2 for $4 bags of Zapps? Hells, yeah. I bought an enormous head of cauliflower this week for 2 bucks. Yep, sales are random, but they have them. Give Robert a chance, people! What earns them four rather than three stars is that they are eager to please and are asking for suggestions. Hope to update to five stars soon. read more

Yippee!!! This store is all the buzz round the Marigny as a much needed grocery story finally returns for the first time since before the storm. It was opened a bit faster than anticipated to meet and receive a tax break or something like that...so it's still likely going to improve its organization and its variety but it defiantly has everything you need. The space is smaller than I envisioned as they are adding additional business and possible restaurants to the adjacent storefronts. They have a small parking lot on either side of the store so if one lot is full go around to the other side. Offering prepared foods, meats and produce, full wine beer and liquor section, bakery, floral etc. Pricing is a bit high but not ridiculous and for me I'm just thrilled to have them in the hood. Potential to move up to 5 Stars is there but as it stands now some of their selection and the way it's organized stands to improve as they get up to speed. Welcome back Roberts!! We missed you! read more

I'm disappointed in their bakery. Ordered a birthday cake with wording two days in advance. When I went to get it the order was there but no cake. Could not accommodate me. Bought a more inferior cake for a special birthday. Extremely disappointed will never use their bakery agsin. Manager not helpful at all. read more

They stop making pizza for the day at 12 pm. Old pizza sitting on the counter. Sandwiches out of date. Manager unresponsive. Also got macroni salad from salad bar that was bad.. Fresh??? Not. Samples are old as well. Had to spit them out. Gross!!! Sad. It's so close to my house. Back of the house people rude. How are you still in business? There's a reason you have 3 stars. Management. Period!!! read more
