A ton of different food options to select from. From bread, cheese, nuts, chocolates, coffee, meats and much much more. Almost like a cross between a high end Trader Joe's and Sprouts to fulfill all your bougie needs. Best friendly service, with a very relaxed ambience. read more

This place is wonderful and happily reminiscent of a Sprouts Farmers Market. They offer a variety of specialty and organic groceries. I love their deli, bakery, tea, and spices sections, to name just a few. They carry unique brands that you won't find in conventional grocery stores in this area. One item in particular I was extremely happy to find was Rufus Teague's Steak Rub. I've only been able to order it online until now! Prices are on the higher side but to be expected at a specialty market. This place is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something unique and quality. The produce has been good, and their bulk barrel section of various snacks, coffees, and sweet treats is just as wonderful. Overall, it was an excellent shopping experience with a thoughtful and cozy atmosphere with friendly service and a clean store with great offerings. I am looking forward to returning and sharing this find with family and friends. read more

Really love the store. Fresh Market has lots of really nice food choices that you won't see at other grocery stores. They also have great sales all week long. Check their schedule. Really need another store out in Hixson or Red Bank. Fresh Market needs to expand closer to the downtown Chattanooga area. Why let Whole Foods have that entire customer base? read more

I had the strangest interaction with a store manager this evening that I have ever had in my life. First of all I went to the seafood department and asked for four Chilean sea bass cakes and four lump crab cakes for my dinner this evening with my kids. The worker next to the one waiting on me said " there are crab cakes already packaged behind you in a case" and I responded "those are frozen" and he responded "these used to be too." Now my 21 yr old son told him to mind his business because we wanted them all to be at the same temperature and he wasn't who was waiting on us anyway. We carry on shopping buying oysters and creme brûlée and fruit tarts and asparagus and risotto and a ton of other things. Suddenly at the end the store manager comes up to us and says another customer complained to him that we were abusing his seafood guy and he wouldn't tolerate that. I told him what happened and he argued with me. I then asked if I had to leave the store without my hundreds of dollars of purchases and he said no so I said "well I am going to go check out then." He came back to my son again while we were in line to argue more about the situation. Whatever happened to the customer is always right? Without us you don't have a job sir. read more

Wonderful selection of beautiful fresh flowers. The folks in the deli and bakery are always incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Especially love the rotisserie chickens, cheese bread rolls, and both the cherry and the chocolate silk pies! Also wonderful selection of specialty cheeses, crackers, olives, nuts, fresh & dried fruits etc for charcuterie! read more

Outstanding selection of specialty products, organic foods, coffees/teas and chocolate/nuts. And let's talk about the delicious fresh meat counter. Lamb, all kinds of ground beef, kebabs, and more! The fresh seafood is amazing, especially the shrimp. And if you have a sweet tooth, I don't even know where to start. Hard candy, licorice, specialty marshmallows, bulk chocolates like malted milk balls. I highly recommend anything from the bakery. From the black forest cake to the eclairs, everything is fabulous. Go here now! read more

At Fresh Market, there are standout items you usually can't get anywhere else that match their freshness. I come here mainly for a few items. One being sushi, but again, I'm going to quantify that and say sometimes I've gotten not-so-fresh sushi at FM and fresher quality sushi at Publix. As with all fresh-made take away foods, it depends on the time you shop. It's generally a good indication the sushi is going to be fresh if you see the sushi-guy there making it at either grocery store. One item in particular I do love that you won't find elsewhere is the Fresh Market brand Limoncello Gelato. There are a few other flavors, but the Limoncello is my favorite. Also a fangirl favorite of mine is Jenni's ice creams. An assortment of these ice creams is found at FM, and they're priced well below what Whole Foods prices them out at. Fresh Market has lovely and healthy flowers, the produce couldn't get any fresher unless you picked it off the vine or tree, and the store is pleasantly small, which makes for an easy shopping visit. It's always lovely to walk in to this store for a number of reasons: - It's simply breathtakingly beautiful - clean - has a small, intimate setting - and is uniquely different. The customer service at this location was friendly and appropriate on my visits. I most definitely will return from time to time. read more

Delicious cookies and pastries with an unbelievable selection. I love this store. From the moment you walk in and see the beautiful flowers both potted and fresh cut which are reasonably priced. The produce department is so inviting and fresh. Meat department staffed with knowledgeable people and the deli is incredible. It's a little pricey but truly a pleasure to shop. This is a full service grocery store which sells wine and beer. They also make sushi on premises. read more

Okay... I am totally in love with this overpriced grocery store. If price is equivalent to quality... yep they are BRINGING IT. I recently purchased a soup I have been stalking to try. It was an insane 9$ but came in a glass jar... and was intriguing. It was foul. Maybe bad? Totally unable to be eaten! Stank up the house. Flavor horrid. I emailed Fresh Market. They emailed back in 48 hrs to say I would be refunded. Lovely! Wow! So... even when their products are not great... they MAKE up for it in customer service! read more

I love the Fresh Market! The produce is always so good! The staff at the Gunbarrel rd Fresh Market is always nice and helpful.

This market has great deals on cooked, prepared, organic meals my family picks up sometimes, as well as a variety of grains, coffees, cheeses, and desserts I enjoy choosing from time to time when I want something special. My brother enjoys their worldly selection when he's visiting. It's worth the extra 10-15 minute drive. My best galentine picked up a sweet, delicious dessert for me from here yesterday - a Tuxedo Truffle Napoleon. It's a pastry made up of a few layers of chocolate liquor and white chocolate with a slightly rich chocolate top. And big enough to split. read more

The Fresh Market - Tuxedo Truffle Napoleon - Grocery Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

First, as a senior, I must say that Fresh Market was one of the first grocery stores to recognize the seriousness of the CoVid-19 virus and require both employees and shoppers to wear masks. In fact, they were recently recognized by Consumer Reports for their efforts. However, I have been a fan for years. I am single and while some of their items are pricey, it is much cheaper to buy for one of something and get exactly what I need as opposed to throwing out food I didn't use because it spoiled. This is the place to go when you need a single portion of fruit or vegetable, a quality steak, just 2 pieces of bacon or some fraction of ground meat. I'm not telling you to give up your COSTCO membership ... it's still the place for gas and toilet paper! read more

I ordered a full Thanksgiving meal and can say we were underwhelmed. This is disappointing since several people recommended this meal. I assumed a cooked turkey meant I would take it home and remove the meat and be done. Instead this was a cooked turkey in a bag that I had to cook. The instructions did not match those on the bag but I followed the printed instructions and it was overcooked and did not have much flavor to it at all. Both potato dishes were very bland and that was after adding a topping to the sweet potatoes. The dressing was very soupy and once cooked was still not dry enough. The gravy was fine and the cranberry sauce was really good. The meal was packaged in a very nice portable cooker. I would prefer the money spent on that go to aluminum containers for the food as most items came in plastic which had to then be transferred to a baking dish then a serving dish. The meal was expensive and time consuming and except for the cranberry sauce I would not order this again. read more

Love this Fresh Market! I've shopped TFM for years now and always have a fantastic experience there! This morning, Jordan and Robert at the Chattanooga store were absolutely lovely. Jordan was patient, helpful, and so kind with my large order. Robert helped me to my car and loaded everything for me. Excellent customer service at the Chattanooga store. Give it a try, you won't regret shopping here. read more

Very disappointed in this NY Strip. Had it hand cut and it had way too much gristle through it. The flavor of the meet was delicious but it's very disappointing to have to spit out almost every bite because it can't be properly chewed and swallowed. read more

The Fresh Market has always offered friendly and helpful customer service, but today was so above and beyond that I wish I could give a six- star rating. On this very busy grocery shopping day of Thanksgiving Eve, I stopped in only to pick up one of the delicious FM meal kits that my husband and I love. There were no meal kits in their usual spot so I asked an associate who was fulfilling Thanksgiving pick up orders nearby where I might find the meal kits. He apologized and said they had been so busy that they had not put together any meal kits. I was disappointed, but certainly understood. BUT WAIT FOR IT... he then asked if he could put one together for me! He left his spot, went in the back, and made a kit for me with fresh salmon!! Now that is CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

If you need curbside pickup, this location will disappoint. Waited 25 minutes before being told that no one was available and had to pick up items in store. Another wait and when employee arrived, she asked if she could carry items to car. I stated no as I had to go into store since no one was available. I need curbside due ambulatory issues at this time. Wow just wow! Worst curbside experience. read more

Oh how I enjoy The Fresh Market! It's one of the most wonderful experiences to be on your lunch break and walk into this grocery store. It's so much more than that! I walk in and smell coffee, flowers and baked goods. Every where I go there are beautifully stocked tables full of fruits and vegetables. I go there as often as I can for their huge apples! One is plenty for a filling snack. They have a deli counter with wonderful sandwiches and sushi across from the butcher counter. Fresh meats are aplenty and displayed in a way that makes you want to fire up the grill! Browsing through the bakery area I didn't see any vegan options which is why I can't give them five stars. They have vegan options in other areas, but not in the bakery. I asked. That particular day I wanted to take my Daughter a special baked treat. I had to go elsewhere for it. That's ok though. I will continue to stop in for my lunchtime visits on occasion. read more

I stopped by this location of Fresh Market on New Years Eve when I was doing some last minute shopping for our NYE dinner. I am a fan of Fresh Market: great produce, a much better meat/fish selection than your Kroger/Publix stores, good wine selection, and lots of international and foodie ingredients. I'm a foodie who loves to cook. It isn't unheard of for me to spend an entire day in the kitchen (pies, pelmeni, matzo ball soup - these things take time), and while I've never found my all-purpose store, Fresh Market is definitely in my rotation of stores. I currently live in Nashville, which has a location, and I often visit my mom and stepdad in Chattanooga. I was excited to learn Chattanooga has a Fresh Market. When I visited this location a few weeks ago, I saw that it is much the same as other Fresh Market locations I have visited: definitely small, but with excellent products. Fresh Market is definitely a more expensive option for grocery shopping. If you're shopping for products that you can get at Kroger/Publix or other stores, Fresh Market probably isn't where you should head. But if you're cooking a fancy dinner and need a cut of meat that isn't available at your everyday store or fancy cheeses for a cheese plate or if you're cooking something that requires some special ingredients (herbs, spices, gluten-free or allergen-free products, some international products), Fresh Market is a good stop. It's small, so it probably won't replace all other stores in your rotation. But it's a good to have in your rotation for when you need something a little special. This Fresh Market location - like others - makes my foodie heart happy. read more

Giving two stars because the product selection and quality are great. However, the people that work here are the WORST. From the people who answer the phone, and hang up on you-twice, to the order pick up guy that points to his watch and says "we waited 40 minutes for you to get here" to get your pick up order when you live 40 minutes away and make the drive willingly to visit this store. So frustrating to have to deal with crap employees here. read more

I dont know that i have ever had a bad experience here. The key to success is consistency. This store is always clean, the staff is always kind. It's not close to home- so its not our every week store. We always get a lovely flower arrangement, fresh almond butter and some specialty breads. I super love shopping here during the holidays. It's right around the corner! read more

The most pleasant experience shopping for groceries I've ever had. The atmosphere is tangibly nostalgic, yet modern all at once. I stumbled upon this store by myself one day, and brought my sister the next time. She was confused as to why I was excited about a grocery store, but once she stepped inside the first thing she said was, "Are we in Diagon Alley?" Truly a magical place and every time I shop here is a treat. I wish there was one closer to me! read more

I wanted a roasted chicken on sale today. An employee was busy emptying ice into a sink and I waited. I heard someone clearing his throat very loudly. At first I ignored it and was deciding which chicken I wanted. Then I heard this throat clearing again, very loudly. The man who was emptying ice was looking at me. Finally he said, "Do you need something?". I said yes and got the chicken. This was so rude and uncalled for. This is not customer service and now I wish I had just left him to continue dumping ice into a sink. read more

Hands down the best butcher shop in the greater Chattanooga area. Variety and premium cuts abound and the shops manager has always been excited and willing to order "odd-ball" cuts of meat that they don't normally carry (ie - duck, lamb, etc....). Tō bōte, they have a "Willy Wonka" like selection of oddities that you won't find in any other market. Albeit, when I'm watching the Food Network and decide that I'm going to tackle some obscure recipe, I save myself the trouble and head straight here. read more

I love that more organic and varied grocers are coming to the Chattanooga area, and this little gem is a good one. Really great vibe here where you can stop in and pick up something quick for dinner, fresh flowers or a healthy snack. I like that they carry the largest selection of Jones sodas I've ever seen in the area. Decent pricing for the kind of shop that it is. Convenient location as well. read more

There is pretty much nothinh I have purchased from here that i do not enjoy eating....the produce is excellent and mostly local amazing viriety of everything...coffee beans...seafood...bakeries...produce....and just overal groceries...i was able to find all my goodies from back home...the deli is so fresh and the viriety is amazing...great for those that love to entertain...but what brings me here so frequently is the SUSHI WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW IS GRADE A SUSHI AT a very affortable price!!!

I do not usually shop in the Chattanooga Fresh Market. It was not laid out the same way the stores I am familiar with are laid out. I enjoyed looking at the different aisles. There were lots of Christmas goodies. The floral section had beautiful orchids. Big orchids!! The fresh hydrangeas were huge. The Little Big Meals were in the middle of the store. read more

Prices are generally high without the good deals found at Publix. I do like to get the high quality meat when I can afford it. When I am really in a time crunch, I will get the meal deals and bite my teeth at the price. Example: last time included fresh fruit salad (melons, kiwi, berries, grapes), brioche buns, good beef, Alexia potatoes, and fancy cheese. The food is really delicious. The selection of breads is always top notch! The personnel are friendly, and the store always has a nice ambiance. Usually, they have the same products I can find elsewhere in my travels so I don't find myself making a special trip to the store. The perk of having my receipt emailed to me automatically makes me smile though. read more

I love Fresh Market! It reminds me of the food court at Harrod's. It's smaller, of course, but you find things you can't find anywhere else. At Christmas, I love their maple sugar candy! It's a real treat for me to shop there! read more

Love their produce, snacks and healthy food, but NEVER get food from their deli. Worst food ever. I now have the duty to tear them up with this review in the same way they tore mine and my wife's stomachs up. We purchased two different meals from their deli...my wife a sandwich and me a salad. Within a few hours my wife and I were spending the rest of the evening in the bathroom with terrible stomach aches and the squirts. Never ever get food from their deli! They do not live up to the "Fresh" name with their nasty e-coli ridden food! read more

Fresh Market, which has come from the south I think - to recently infiltrate the Midwest, is a place I just don;t understand. I walk in and always think Treasure Island (grocery store in the Midwest). Like Treasure Island I think this type of grocery store is a bit schizophrenic. Over here we have barrels of gummi bears in 42 colors! Over here we have fine cheeses! ...but we really don't have any real food...or at least not any things you, yourself, could cook or bake into real food. This store seems to be caught between Faux European market, faux trader joes (it's the barrels), and dark designer flower shop. If you need interesting frozen dinners to pop in the microwave you can find them here. If you want mediocre sushi to go from the fridge case and a sushi chef to tell you not to take extra soy sauce (?) you can find that here too. If I had to come to this town again I would try GreenLife for a possible salad bar, or just hit a regular grocery store that doesn't have mood lighting in every section as Fresh Market does. read more

My experience is way different than that of the previous reviewer and maybe it's because our reviews are three years apart. I find lots of food to cook at Fresh Market, including high quality meats and even some unusual items for this area like chimichurri steaks. Sure, there are barrels of candies and snacks. There are also barrels of bulk coffee beans in flavored and regular/decaf varieties. My favorite is chocolate orange coffee. The almond amaretto is nice, too. I don't think you'll find a better selection of cheeses in Chattanooga than here. They also carry baking ingredients and spices in bulk. You can even find weird sodas and teas. They also have a decent selection of the kinds of plants and flowers you place on a dinner table or give as a gift. I refreshing difference from regular grocery stores. read more

I really like the fresh market I first visited back home. Everything always looks so fresh and inviting. This one is ok and I've had decent experiences here except the last time. I went for a bakery item and there were none available. So I asked about it and was told "he hasn't made any yet." So, ok. Nothing else. The exact item I wanted was in the display case but no offer to prepare me a box and no indication of when "he" would actually make the item I was looking for was given. That was just weird and not helpful at all. Otherwise, their veggies and fruits are always fresh looking and I always end up spending more money here than I should. LOL. read more

Stopped by here on a fundraising trip for our adoption and needed some supplies for the get together. Must say the quality was amazing the variety was amazing, and the cost was amazing. I give it 3 stars because of the cost. I appreciate quality to a point but it is hard to justify the cost for product when I can find fresh product at grocery stores for 3/4 the price. I will give it 5 stars for quality of fresh meats though. Sashimi grade tuna is a hard find, and having their meat and seafood department with the quality it had is Actualy a unique find. read more

basic health food store, kind of like whole foods, but not. clean, well organized, typical selection of what you'd want and need. read more

The entire selection is not the best but their veggies and meat are outstanding. the chicken, beef and lamb have all been fabulous. I'm also a fan of their specials. Like tuesdays chicken day!!! They have a large selection of food that is already prepared. Veggies has a large fresh selection so all the important points are covered. I think the supplements department is lacking but all else is fine for my family read more

The Fresh Market has the best meat department of any store in Chattanooga.
