    After several years of shopping at Holiday Market I have grown to understand that their meat…read moredepartment is seriously lacking. They don't subscribe to the usual country-wide USDA meat standards at all, instead push some off brand "sterling silver" stuff that they call the top 2/3ths of choice meats. They don't label things (like everywhere else) as select, choice or prime. That's the USDA standard across the USA. I discovered WHY they don't do that--they don't want to invest in a trained meat grader. It takes money to achieve the USDA standards. So if you buy any beef from them it's a complete gamble. Toss your dice, instead of your money away. I called them three times to get the manager's attention to this problem but she never bothered to return my calls. If you break down and buy their stuff just be prepared to have to return it--they don't trim the excessive fat off anything. Their logic--force the buyer to have to pay for it. Being choice fundamentally means we are being denied the ability to purchase quality beef at all from Holiday Market. Apparently it's quite common for customers to have to return meats. Other than beef, we have discovered other meats to be spoiled--literally rotten. Fortunately, it was so rotten we avoided eating it so as not to get food poisoning. On the positive side Holiday Market has a great in-store pharmacy and excellent employees (other than a non-responsive manager).

    After nine years of shopping here, I still like this market, the new layout and the variety of…read moreproducts offered. But the prices are way out of control. I get all the inflation, etc, but when i can buy the same item in Chico or Susanville for much less, it's not inflation. Example: an Amy's frozen meal at Holiday is about $6.49, $5.89 in Chico. A pack of Oscar Meyer Hot dogs is $5.49, $1.99 in Chico. Lemons are .69 or more each. $.40 in Chico. The list goes on and on. Some products are increased as much as dollar or more at a time. That's not inflation, as much as corporate greed. They have Whole Food prices to sell to tourists in the summer, but we locals have to pay the high prices all year long. I'm disappointed.

    Went twice for breakfast while in town. Had 2 eggs over easy with bacon and sourdough toast one day…read moreand waffle (regular, not Belgian) the next. Generous serving of bacon. Great service. My son had fresh muffins both days which were outstanding. Others in our party enjoyed their meals too. They wet so accommodating and friendly with repeated coffee refills. Would definitely go back.

    We were in town to bury my father in law, a lifetime Greenville resident. Thinking it would be a…read morenice break, we took our mother in law out to breakfast. We asked for a table outside because she can't hear well, and the cafe was bustling and loud. The staff seated us, but had to move tables around outside. The hostess and a "regular" of the cafe said things like "this is what we do in a tourist economy." "We have to accommodate the tourists." As if we were a bother and they were bending over backward to accommodate us. Because my mother in law was there, and she is emotionally raw right now, I avoided conflict. So I'll say now, what I wanted to say to those snarky, rude employees Thursday: My husband's family has had a plot in the Taylorsville cemetery for longer than those two ladies been alive -- combined. His grandmother had 2 restaurants in Greenville. His mother is a fixture in the community, living through the Dixie fire and coming back to rebuild her life. Now she'll bury her husband there. My sister and brother in law worked in public service in Quincy for decades. We aren't tourists. And even if we were, you were incredibly unwelcoming. You made a sad day worse. The food was fine.

I have not stopped at the Mark for quite a few years. I knew the original owners but the business has been under the current ownership for a while. I stopped there believing I could buy fishing supplies, but they did not have what I wanted. I asked politely if I could use their bathroom, and I was told the bathrooms were for "customers only." My reply was, "I walked in here as a potential customer, but I found out you no longer carry what I wanted to buy." The lady I was having this conversation with answered me with, "Cleaning supplies cost money, baby. The bathrooms are for customers only." That reply was inappropriate and unexpected. Good thing I had another 10-12 minutes more driving time. I am thankful it wasn't a child or someone who may have been in dire need of using the bathroom, the closest rest area is about 20 minutes away. I was perplexed at the attitude of the owners, knowing that I was a potential customer, I was non-threatening, and I was polite. I walked out like I walked in, but I will never stop there again. If I could give this business "0" stars, I would.
