    Salad with chicken topping (there's a chicken option and  shrimp option)
    Denise G.

    Not to be confused with The Market on St Simons, The Market on Newcastle or The Coastal Market (same owner but different concept) - lol - this is The Market. It's a small seafood market combined with takeout restaurant located in Darien. Exterior They are next door to the Darien Post office (formerly local Ga Power office). Very limited parking but since there's no dine-in, most people are in & out, so parking shouldn't truly ever be a problem. Interior No public bathrooms & very tiny interior. Hot food, fresh seafood & several freezer-to-table options. They also have seafood breader, a few spices & seasonings & individually packaged of delicious looking blondies (ordered from a company that I forgot the name of). Food I used to love the fried flounder & would order this every time I was in town, but the last few time / visits - my fish had the consistency of fish that's been pulled from the fryer a bit too early & they're not draining it long enough either, so that crispy delicious batter just splits, splinters & cracks & falls off when you're trying to eat the fillets. The pork chop sandwich is amazing & the chicken nuggets & tenders are delicious. The salad with the chopped chicken strips is pretty doggone tasty. My friends & family rave about the shrimp. The only meals I've had that I didn't enjoy were 1) the roast beef sandwich - there's no flat top grill, so its microwaved roast beef & 2) the loaded nuggets. In fact, the 'loaded nuggets' & the way they handled the situation is the reason I gave them 3 stars instead of 4 or even 5 stars. One day my nephew & his gf dropped by the house just as I was preparing to head to Brunswick for errands & my millionth trip to Goodwill. Thrilled to have a set of good knees & strong arms (& a strong back), I asked my nephew to go through some of his things & bag up some stuff for Goodwill. While he was doing that, I decided to run down to The Market to grab myself some grub & I decided to get something for both of them. I'd never had the loaded nuggets so I decided to give them a try. Ok - so for clarification - most restaurants call this dish - or dishes like this 'loaded fries' or 'loaded potatoes.' Because it's a potato base, loaded with cheese, sour cream, bacon & topped with protein (chicken, shrimp, steak, etc - with a specific price for each protein, of course). But The Market made the decision to create two distinct dishes & call them loaded shrimp & loaded nuggets. There's a reason why I' m giving this detail, so bear with me. I ordered two loaded nuggets & one order of loaded shrimp. I called the order in, picked up all 3 orders, then dropped two dinners off with my nephew & his gf, locked the house up behind them, wished them well on their journey back to Atlanta, then headed off to Brunswick with my food. I snagged 2 bites of chicken but had my first potato while sitting in the queue in front of Goodwill & it was crunchy. No biggie. Accidents happen. Attempted to fork & it resisted - too hard. I poked & prodded more until I found one that seemed fine - but nope - it was crunchy too. Tested a few more & they were all like this. I called my nephew - asked if they enjoyed their food. Initially they said Yes. I said, 'Oh, ok - I just asked because my potatoes were crunchy - nearly raw.' They started laughing & gf told me to check my phone. I did. She'd sent a pic of their uneaten potatoes. Turns out they said Yes initially because they didn't want to sound rude / ungrateful. I called the restaurant & explained that I wanted to return & replace my meal & that aside from two small bites of chicken & few half bites of potato, the meal was intact. Bobbi asked me 'what about the other meals?' I explained that they were also undercooked but the kids were nearly an hour away on their way back to Atlanta. She then told me that she was shocked to hear this because they'd had no other complaints that day. So she asks me what I'd like her to do. I repeat myself & explain that I'd just like it re-done - with cooked potatoes. She said ok, but she sounded distinctly annoyed. When I went back, the granddaughter scowled during entire conversation then asked if I was returning the chicken or the shrimp - even though I was using 'their' verbiage of 'nuggets' the entire time & even though she was holding the tray of returned food. Then Bobbi came over expressing her disbelief again, like I get a secret kick out of not eating & coming back 3 hrs later. Price / Value Prices are consistent with what you'd expect to pay for this type of fare. Customer Service The owner (Joann, I think) is super friendly since it's family owned & operated - all the employees are relatives of the owners. The younger folks can be a little blah & snappy but I've come to expect that with this generation. Overall Overall, I love this place. Just wish they didn't get so defensive & hostile when an error is made & wish they had a few semi-healthy options to choose from.

    The customer service was great on the phone and the food was prepared by the time I got there... but I didn't enjoy it. I have to say I love the hush puppies but the shrimp was overcooked and not shelled and deveined properly and everything was way over seasoned! I even had someone who likes more seasoning, try it and they agreed with me. The fried okra was not crunchy but it tasted OK. I would buy hush puppies but I would not buy the other food. Sad too, because I was hoping to have another place to eat in town.

    Chicken sandwich.....sooooo friggin good!

    Exterior This grocery store has had several iterations since…read moreI was a little girl. Piggly, Bi-Lo and a host of others that I can't remember. Same big, spacious parking lot. Interior The most recent owner has done some stuff to make it look more upscale, like faux interior wood flooring. Price / Value / Food I found some very good deals in the meat department. Unlike any of it's predecessors, they have Boar's Head deli meats. They have a hot bar with stuff like fried chicken, fried pork chops, mac & cheese. Apparently the offerings change daily but there's a schedule (ie fried fish on Fridays). Customer Service As usual, the customer service was top notch. The deli attendant made a mistake and sliced nearly 2.5 lbs of turkey instead of a quarter pound (0.25) and one night when I ventured in, someone from the deli had dished up portions of food and priced them without labeling the contents so the staff had no way of knowing if the containers contained sweet potato casserole, mac n cheese or what - but we all gotta give people grace in this day of struggle staffing. Overall I hope these guys stick around. They also own The Market (restaurant and seafood market).

    Much needed in the Darien area. Has not only what you want but what you need…read more The staff are wonderful and so many there to help. Some of the prices are a bit high compared to competitors but shop local!!! The prices are fine when you factor in the convenience of location. The parking lot was completely done along with the interior. It's clean, modern and well organized. When it was BiLo it felt horribly crowded. Welcome to Darien because this store makes our tiny town look good!

    In a bit of a crunch this morning needing two tires and AJ came thru for me in the automotive…read morecenter! I must say overall each and everytime I to get an oil change or tires I am never dissatisfied with the customer service in that department. They always employee the nicest of their employees back there besides the older tall black gentalmen with glasses that use to walk the store and knew everything. Haven't seen him in years but I digress. She was very knowledgeable about the services back there and the products and prices. Most of all I commend AJ for her patience. Over the phone she provided kind curtious care as if I were in person and for that she needs applauding. How easy would it have been for her to be dismissive and or rude but I got the exact opposite. Thanks Walmart you did great! Now the confusion your app provides for instock items/delivery-pickup and appointments, lets just table that conversation for now.

    Attempted to return few items purchased from previous day. Put credit card in credit card machine,…read moreseveral times she told me it's not the card I used. I expressed to it's the only card I have and use. I'm showing you a digital receipt. Anniha kept telling me I didn't use that card or purchase from that store. I expressed that the gentleman behind the counter is the person that helped me to get someone to get someone to dressing room to unlock. She flat out said " I don't care who you say helped you", and we're moving on from the card and receipt I will give you credit on a store card. I finally found paper receipt in my purse and told her I have my receipt as she's handling me the store card with credit. I explained I want it put on my credit card I put with as shown on my paper and digital receipt. With an attitude as nasty as can be she said "I said we've moved on from that. I said no I gave a paper and digital receipt with the tags for these items and the credit all go back on my card. She didn't like it and eventually did put on my card with a great deal of attitude. This store is not worth going to, id rather spend a little more at Target!!

    I love to write a positive review and do so often to support a well run business. Let me start with…read morethe food was good. Unfortunately nothing else went well. We had a reservation for 9 people at 7:30. We were seated at 7:30 and sat there for 15 minutes before I went to the hostess and asked if we had a server assigned. She apologized and went to correct the situation. Approximately 5 minutes later our waiter Johnny introduced himself. We finally got drinks after we had been there for a half hour. A young man shows up with salads. He hands me the first bowl and asks me to pass the bowl around the table. I don't necessarily like that everyone at the table handled multiple bowls. Food orders were then taken. Our waiter was asked questions and he answered speaking extremely fast and at times we were not able to understand what he was saying. Our meal arrived and no one came back to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything else. We were never served bread and I had to find another server to help us. The atmosphere and food were very good unfortunately our overall experience was not. Since we were a larger party we were atomically charged a standard gratuity that didn't match the service provided. My husband and his team will be here working for the next 6 months. I hope the management of Bennie's reads this review and takes this as an opportunity for improvement.
