I'm a bit surprised how low the rating is for this location...really, for ANY location of this amazing grocery chain. I was finally able to check out this particular location today; and as always, I'm impressed. They have stringent Covid measures as you enter the door...and like the other Fresh Market locations, everything seems so clean and orderly. Now, I haven't bought any veggies from here, but everything else I've purchased, including meats, were always fresh and highest of quality. I may have mentioned this from one of my reviews for the other locations, but I really love their extensive selection of breads and pastries, as well as exclusive selection of unusual brands, including European labels. And again, I LOVE its signature Classical Music overhead! The Fresh Market was also my mom's (RIP) favorite chain; and she always had one of their bright, beautiful Orchids on her table (think she bought one every 3-4 weeks for decades!)...and seeing these flowers always make me feel at home somehow. Today, I just stopped in to grab a few French Vanilla bread loaves (OMG!!), and some varieties of bottled drinks, including "detox" water drinks. Honestly, I've never had a bad experience here...and I've been coming to this chain for decades. Definitely my fave grocery chain...even more so than Whole Foods. Think I liked the South Park location the best, but this one at Providence isn't bad at all. I like the wide, easy-to-manuever layout...actually very similar to the Southpark location, but possibly a tad smaller? I'm just so glad to see how this chain has branched out into several locations by now...and I hope there will be more in the future. read more

Such a disappointment, going here for great quality products and unwrapping them up only to see how old they are! read more

The Fresh Market - a hand holding a chocolate bar - Grocery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Love their chicken pot pie and meat department! They have a wonderful variety of meat cuts, favorites including chicken cordon bleau, crabcakes, steak. Amazing meal deals with changing menus, good variety and values. I love their fresh bakery, cookies, breads and frozen treats. Excellent wines and beers too!! They have a good selection of teas, crackers and cheese too. I liked the variety of cool snacks, Christmas chocolate advent calendars and stocking stuffers. They have yummy sandwiches in the deli too. Parking lot is busy, I try to go during the week. Great service! read more

FRESH IS BEST! This place is like a lot like Whole Foods. They have a lot of great goodies. They have a good selection of ready to go prepared meals to take home to your Awesome family and friends! Worth the trip. God Bless my fellow foodies Always read more

I feel that service has gone downhill, every time I pick food up to go, it just does not seem to be up to par! Picked up a salad and my dressing (pay extra for) is expired? Nothing fresh about that.... everything is over priced for the quality. There IS potential! Not rushing back read more

The Fresh Market - Today is a August 4th ugh - Grocery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I purchased a pound of baked potato salad and had to throw it out. The dressing was soupy and the potatoes had the consistency of a well-done stalk of broccoli -- very strange for "baked potato" salad. $6 wasted! read more

issue of unresponsive staff. I must admit, I've never encountered such a lack of motivation to assist customers before. For instance, if you're in the mood for a pastry, be prepared to patiently observe a lovely lady assemble for a good ten minutes before she realizes you're waiting at the counter. Seeking a steak? Well, the sole mam in the meat department strolls into the back without acknowledging waiting customers, and the same goes for the deli department. There was a new employee, a woman, who couldn't find the right sticker for a deli item she was weighing, and no one was willing to assist her after she asked two employees for help! It's quite disheartening. I'd be interested in meeting the manager who oversees this store, as they say, it all begins with management and then trickles down... We will not return to this location, the lack of clients speaks for itself. read more

Prices are on the higher end. You can get cool specialty items. They also have locally-sourced items, which helps to justify the price tag. They have sales on different days as well. For example, Wednesday, there is a sale on chicken. The store is very clean and the food looks great but bear in mind, the prices. The location is in south Charlotte. read more

Cannot stand this place. Wife sends me for meal deals every once in a blue moon. No signage. Walked around entire store twice couldn't find anyone to ask. Finally found someone to ask he's a third party wine vendor doesn't work there. I left. Cannot imagine I am the only one that's left unable to find things. Or even find someone to ask. This place is doomed. read more

Medium sides footprint for a grocery store, the Fresh Market is focused on fresh. Duh. Large produce section, bakery, cheeses, spreads, deli and the like. Not much of a canned/bottled grocery section. Lots of wine and beer though. Lots of really great organic stuff to be found! Prices range from medium to high. read more

I have been visiting Fresh Market every time I visit the Destin, Fl area. I am impressed and love getting special treats from this place. The produce is superb and you want to be sure to pick up snacks for your party or when you have guests for dinner. The last time I was here I found the French Macaroons and became addicted. From their self help area of chocolate covered nuts and fruits and other snacks to their bakery, produce and meat selection and olive bar, there is a little for everyone. I am Happy to say that I found a Fresh Market in my home state. Although it is a couple of hours away, I am sure a couple trips a year are in the cards for us to go there. read more

I have been a Fresh Market fan for years, particularly for the one on Pineville-Matthews Rd at Carmel Commons, but I find this one lacking in charm, atmosphere and customer service. It's more like a small, overpriced Harris Teeter instead of The Fresh Market that I have learned to love. After going a couple times I have lost interest. It does have a good meat department, which as a former butcher, I appreciate, but again it offers nothing a whole lot more than Harris Teeter or Publix. These days if I want to really splurge on meats, I'll go to The Butcher's Market at Rea Road. I'll pass on this locarion going forward, and whenever I get the hankering for the old days, I'll visit The Fresh Market at Carmel Commons Shopping Center.. read more

Had the Turkey Harvard cranberry sandwich!!! Delicious and so fresh... Yum Love this time of year to see all the holiday items and food favorites out and on display! The Fresh Market never disappoints with the displays and layout of great products in the fresh departments and center store! read more

I am a bread baker. I have had a hard time finding the flours that I need for pizza crust and 000 flour. I was able to find them all at Fresh Market. There were even some special bread flour that I'm excited to try. Just walking into the store you are greeted by the flower department. They had Peony's! So beautiful. On the left is their freshly prepared foods to take home. The selection had me ah struck. I will be back for those nights I don't want to cook. The also had a nice bakery and meat department. There were several people behind the counter waiting to help you. The store is a great place to shop to find things you may want to try out. The store is super clean and well lit. The parking out front is plentiful. The cashiers were very pleasant. A very nice alternative to the HT. read more

Just had to add a little note here. Ordered the New Little Big Meal for this week which was Chicken Parmesan. It was fantastic. It had a beautiful Marinara Sauce. the chicken breasts were huge and coated perfectly and the veggie tray to cook along with the Chicken was so complimentary to the whole dinner , Also it was great that I could order this on Curbside pickup along with my other groceries, I didn't realize that could be done. So easy and time saving for someone who works ! Try those dinners for the price its unreal!! read more

Service here has gone downhill, I haven't shopped here in a while since the new HT opened in Waverly and I'm very happy shopping there, from food quality to customer service, just great experience. Today I decided to stop at The Fresh M for a couple of items and everyone seems miserable, long wait at the meat section, one poor guy there trying to keep up. And nothing better than getting doubled charged at the register for an item that I am sure it's way overpriced already ‍ I called to see if "maybe" with technology now a day, this could be corrected over the phone, of course we are not there yet, (yes I get it, it's way too ambitious of thought) but is such an inconvenience to drive back to the store, ugh! Instead I got a "fresh"attitude on the phone some person that had 0 courtesy to even acknowledge the issue, cut me off to put me to a manager... yeah I won't be back read more

I really like the Fresh Market, however some things are definitely overpriced. Plus, my problem when I come in here is impulse buys on things that I don't need but look delicious! So I always spend more than I had planned. They do have a pretty good selection of prepared foods for those times when you are in a hurry & looking for a quick & convenient & somewhat healthy meal. On Saturday I stopped by to pick up some fish to grill and got a nice piece of sea bass. I also grabbed a prepared side - tortellini salad with cherry tomatos and parmesan. It was ok, but I expected it to have a little more flavor than it did. As usual when I stop in here, I made one unexpected impulse buy... they had a small red velevet loaf cake that was made with chocolate chips. Hubs and I both thought it was yummy! I am on the email list so I get emails all the time about their meal-deal specials. I haven't gotten one yet, but I have seen several that sound very good! read more

Excellent service today, Jeff was a great help at the meat section. I recommend that you out this new location at the Promenade Lots of delicious cuts and very good quality. read more

The Fresh Market - Excellent lamb kabob quality, fresh and yummy after 48-72 hour marinate.... - Grocery Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

It's time to lose some stars. They were great when they first opened, but the magic is gone. We just bough Korean chicken, ceasar salad and blueberry scones. The chicken tasted like a pasty version of Mcnuggets, the ceasar salad had no cheese, and instead of croutons, they had a few pieces of white bread. I returned them this morning, and they could care less. I asked for the manager. Some woman said she was filling in. I explained our displeasure with the food and she said "We do have some problems. Back to Dean and Deluca read more

I ordered the salami panini, my 18 yr old daughter ordered turkey and Swiss, we asked to eat them there! Both paninis were not good, they were cold in the middle and warm around the edges, the lettuce and onions were wilted and soft, and there was very little meat and cheese on the sandwiches! My daughter, who wanted to eat there looked at me and said this is a BIG miss huh? I ate the warm edges and put the first half down and was going to eat the warm edges of the second half, picked it up and the bottom was soggy and just yucky! Looked at daughter shoving the sand which in its bag and said yep miss! Looked at the counter to say something and everyone was busy with people, plus I was pretty upset that I spent 16$ and knew the possibility of making a scene was pretty high! So did some shopping and went to check out and put the sand which on the counter by accident and she went to ring it up again and I said that was horrible do not charge me for that again, she just looked at me as if English wasn't her language! I felt that was a passive aggressive way of saying you should refund me for that! But didn't fluster her a bit! I was not impressed with this store, went to the fish market and it had nothing different than my HT! It seemed smaller! Already discussed checkout, but as I was walking out 2 different bagging people cut me off as they were talking & ignoring customers! Upon realizing what one of them had done he said he was sorry, asked for me to go ahead and at that point I was done asked him to go ahead he wouldn't and very uncomfortably followed me out. The checkout physical lane was very small and wasn't set up very well for bagging with customers own bags! Not happy and not going to return! I told my daughter I felt bad that I had even ventured in there as I drove past my HT, felt like I was cheating on her! Domonique read more

I was in the deli at 1:40 pm and there were at least five or six employees behind the counter doing various things. There was a lady with two small kids ahead of me. I waited five minutes assuming someone was helping her but then one of the deli employees strolled by and told us he'd be with us as soon as he could then walked away. I suppose I should have said something but instead I left and went to Harris teeter where they actually care. Five stars for selection and less than zero for service. Update 12/18/15- well folks nothing has changed here. Why precook things like chicken etc if you make it impossible for your customers to buy it? How long do I have to wait when nobody else is in line? 10? 15 minutes? Both Harris teeters and the public that are within 3 miles of fresh market have it figured out. Hopefully when fresh market has alienated all their customers and closed at this location something better will move in. read more

I absolutely love this store. The people are all so nice and helpful. The selections are great for the more specialty grocery store...and the prices are the same as other stores. The meal deals are great! read more

Update to my previous review. Got a call from the Fresh Market this morning. They were able to update my order and apologized for the issue I encountered. I'm impressed that they care about their customer reviews and take them seriously. I always try to be sure to give praise when deserved and sometimes get frustrated when I encounter poor service or experience. Thank you Fresh Market for caring about your customers! read more

Customer service at this store is unbelievably horrible i can't even stress enough how unprofessional they are as a whole and the different experiences i have encountered. I see think they just hire literally anyone these days. No one answers the phone all day, i was put on hold 3 different times to try and get the correct person, then that person never got back to me after 15 min on hold checking on an item, called again and spoke w assistant manager about items, he did absolutely nothing on a CS level whatsoever!!! I was thinking you are really an assistant manager??!!!!! What is wrong w this store anymore!!!??? No one is ever nice either, they just give you your receipt and never everrr say thank you and look so miserable. I even said thank you when handed receipt and she said barely nothing. read more

The Fresh Market is not a place I usually go to buy my weekly groceries but I do like to stop by when I want a quick and fresh lunch to go from their deli. You can get an entrée and two sides for $8 bucks. Lately I've been hooked on their curry chicken salad! I like most of the sides I've tried too. The cucumber salad is really good and so is the broccoli and pear salad( this one was recommended to me by a fellow customer while I was waiting to order and it did not disappoint). They also offer up a salad bar and anti pasta bar too. I do wish they had a self check out isle but other than that, no complaints. read more

Customer Service needs to be stepped up at the Deli & Meat counter. You always have to stand there for a few minutes before anyone bothers to acknowledge you. Then you're made to feel it's a bother if you order more than one thing. I dealt with this many times. I spend alot of money here for overpriced items because it's convenient and I want more than what Harris Teeter has to offer but I will go out of my way to go to Whole Foods or Publix who has much better service for the same kind of foods if I don't see an improvement. read more

This is going to sound crazy but it is a pleasure to go shopping at the Fresh Market. Between the lighting, the music, the way the store is set up, the Thursday Meal Deals and the people it is one of the first of all the magical places we found in Charlotte and that same feeling appears every time we walk into the store. read more

Always a disappointment . Saw some lovely irises I wanted to buy for my kid's teachers. Came back 5 days later to pick some up and they were the exact same irises... all sad and wilted and awful looking. For the exact same price as 5 days earlier!! Customer service is poor, I always feel like I'm annoying the cashiers just by being there. read more

I love fresh market at promenade, but lately they are short in alot of items. I have been loking for certain cookie and ask the bakery ,and they said it's coming soon.but it didn't happen. I looked for certain meet ,they didn't have, sausage,they are out of. Certain bread ,they discontinued. These are some of the reasons I come to this store,and I find myself not wanting to go there. You guys are short in items. I don't care if you have cleaning stuff ,your main job was to bring bit more special and fresh things that other stores don't have.iam kind od disappointed.

This was the worst experience due to the Manager named David. I took over an hour to place a curbside pickup of $150 of CHRISTMAS groceries on 12/23 for pickup the following day 12/24 Christmas Eve day. I received text alerts yesterday and today with the last text that they were too busy and can only have my groceries ready the next day instead....12/25 CHRISTMAS! Too late. I called Fresh Market to explain my situation thinking they would remedy this. Both the person who answered the phone "sorry we are slammed today" and David the Manager would not even try to help. David abruptly responded to call Instacart!!!! The curbside pickup is not Instarct and even it so, NEITHER of them took the minute to try to even help. David...Merry Christmas! You ruined mine without any FOOD. I am posting this on Facebook that will automatically repost every 5 minutes with Davids name included! HE SHOUlD BE FIRED. What kind of person would do that? I am also posting this on every website out there. read more

I was so happy to have a fresh market open close to where I live. I usually go to earth fare but fresh market has more of what I like. I like the more open layout, selection was fab and bulk foods was excellent. Only hiccup I had was I asked at the meat service counter if they could cut a couple of steaks I had chosen out of their case into strips for stir fry. Meat person looked at me very confused and I said, "Please cut into thin slices?" Thinking he didn't know what strips or stir fry meant in my first attempt. He said, "Oh thin slices, okay." I see him hand the steaks to.a meat cutter at the far end. I waited for. about ten minutes, even though it wasn't busy (9ish on a Tuesday). Got my brown wrapped package and thanked them. Opened it at home and turned out they cut my 3 steaks into 6 thin steaks. Will try to clarify next time. read more

I love this grocery store! It's cozy, inviting, clean, calming and a joy to enter. The aisles are wide. The ceilings are high. The floors are gorgeous. The food selections are top notch and priced fairly. The staff are helpful and kind. The meat counter is unmatched in Charlotte. The bakery is wonderful and the deli is good. The cheese selection is fantastic. It doesn't have the "big box store" feel of Whole foods. Basically it's what all grocery stores should aspire to be. I feel like I'm in Europe as I stroll down the aisles, not another big chain monstrosity. It has character, style and pizazz. Did I mention I love this store? read more

Have shopped in various Fresh Markets across several states, I must say the Providence Road location is disappointing. Customer service at Checkout, Deli and Meat sections is inattentive and at times, rude. At best, inconsistent. Highway 51 location seems to do a much better job, albeit a bit more of a crowded space. Seems the more spacious location at Providence Rd. could benefit from the store management and service culture at the other nearest location on Hwy 51. read more
