Before buying a gift card from Woodman's, be aware that if the card is accidentally lost, they may not help you recover the information needed to use it. My daughter bought me a $35 Amazon gift card from Woodman's for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, the card was accidentally thrown away because it was still inside the envelope. The very next day, when I went to add the gift card to my Amazon account, we realized the envelope was gone. My daughter contacted Woodman's and was told to contact Amazon. Amazon said they could not help without the gift card serial number, which was not printed on the receipt, and told us to go back to Woodman's. I then called Woodman's with the original receipt and asked if they could help locate the serial number or provide any assistance. They refused to help, even after the issue was escalated to the corporate level. Update: After writing the review, someone from Woodman's did help us out. We appreciate the help. If the people at the store and corporate were as nice, I would have given an excellent experience. I enjoy the variety that Woodman's carries. Thank you customer service for caring about me and my family. read more

The variety of cheeses is AMAZING! I was in Appleton, Wisconsin to celebrate my neice and nephew's graduation from Lawrence University and my neice said that I HAD TO go to Woodman's to experience their selection of cheeses. She was so right! The store is large, clean and very well organized. As a So Cal girl, I was in awe of the snack selections...Little Debbie's, popcorn and pickle flavored chips!!! I didn't have time to go and buy another suitcase for everything I wanted to take home with me. Luckily I brought my cowboy boots that I lined with plastic and filled them both with cheese to take home. read more

Woodman's is a beautiful place to shop with many hardworking employees who do their absolute best in order to find exactly what you're looking for. The products they offer are the most affordable in the Fox Valley! read more

this place is AMAZING! I was visiting from out of town and strangely could not find a lot of online information about good grocery stores. The postings for Woodman seem to emphasize their massive liquor store and imply that they may have some few groceries attached. To the contrary! Their beautiful grocery store is so large It probably has its own planetary gravity. A few pictures attached - highlights are that they have a really wonderful fresh fruit and vegetable section with exotics that I wasn't expecting, great selections in meat, dairy and helpful, smaller sections with household and even hardware or school/stationary supplies. Also a very extensive Asian food section so you don't have to go hunting over town if that's on your list. read more

If you care about the environment, care about the millions of people that are starving across the world and care about not being a part of a garbage society then you should not go here. I saw a worker putting some food in a cart and asked why. I was informed that day's before the food even expires they throw it away. Not the day it expires but DAYS BEFORE. It is so wasteful and so insulting to people that would probably kill for that food. Instead of helping the homeless they just added to the never ending garage. Perhaps they even take it all to either the garbage mass that is in the Atlantic or the Pacific read more

I had a problem with employees not engaging when I talked to them. If they don't want to be there fire them. They said they will fix it but this is an ongoing problem. read more

I lost a gift card in the store, so I decided to ask customer service if any honest people turned it into them. Standing at the customer service desk, three employees were having a discussion about their work schedule instead of servicing myself and another gentleman waiting in line. I had to wave my arms in the air to get their attention and finally one of the employees stepped forward. At that point the attitudes set in with all three of the employees. They made it uncomfortable that I was there and I was wasting their time. These three employees need better training or better yet, stay home. They want nothing to do with customer service. I will not be going back. Rod F. read more

Good number of choices, lots of people but not crowded. Parking was sufficient . Prices were reasonable but didn't have time to compare anything. read more

I like that Woodman's have a wide variety of foods and beverages. The online grocery delivery is great the grocery came on time and delivered with care. read more

Yikes. Frenetic. Provincial. Square miles of cheese and brats. Acres of aggressive customers. First time here, I was re-entering the booze section thinking I could also exit there (where I parked) with my purchased groceries, and older dude coming the opposite way with an empty cart basically lifts and tosses his cart to the side in disgust. Yeah folks, you can say excuse me. Is there a hurricane coming or something?? It took way too much time to find coffee, eggs, butter, and broccoli. I might still be pushing my cart on one side of the lot like the main character in a game of Frogger had a kindly human not finally waved me across. Holy jeepers cripes. I live in a super busy, high-pressure part of the country and this was NUTS. read more

I will not be going back to this store again. Your cashier that worked Wednesday morning(4/30/25) at 7:45 by the self checkouts was the rudest woman I ever had to deal with. If she doesn't want to be working & doesn't know how to treat customer THEN SHE SHOULD STAY HOME. You have lost my business. I am going to Pick & Save, where they know how to treat a customer right. Shame on you Woodmans for letting your cashier get away with this kind of treatment. If you are employee owned you are going to lose alot of business this way!!! If I could have given this rude cashier a minus rating I would have. I have been going to this store for many years and spend quite a bit of money here. I have been in customer service for 35+ yrs & I have NEVER treated anyone so rudely. I would definitely not recommend this store to anyone ever again, And by the way I am from Appleton WI. read more

They have everything you want but it can take an hour and a half to find it but well worth it

Woodman's is like a local Jungle Jim's and I love it! Every Woodman's I have been to is enormous. Ample parking outside, and rows upon rows upon rows of all the food stuffs inside! You will find everything you need here, and then some! We stopped in specifically for cheese curd buying purposes, as well as looking for a specific kind of block cheese. We happily also found all the Jolly Good soda we could want! We thought it was only at Piggly Wiggly, but it turns out Woodman's sells it too! I was also able to knock out all of my New Glarus beer buying in the liquor store area. A literal one-stop shop for all of my Wisconsin food needs! The only negative, and the one I forget every time because I don't live in Wisconsin anymore and only visit Woodman's maybe once a year, is that you can ONLY pay via debit card or Discover (or cash, I suppose). So just keep that in the brain bank and bring the right card to pay. read more

Oh Woodman's Woodman's! This brings back so many childhood memories. I love this store. It's one of the best grocery store chains I have ever visited. Of course, I grew up grocery shopping at Woodman's and so fondly remember the long aisle of so many different selections of ice cream. Woodman's has it all and with great prices too! The staff here are all so friendly and will help you find whatever you need! Of course, what do you expect it's Wisconsin! It's not just the cheese state but some of the most friendliest and nicest people you will ever meet!!! And if you drink alcohol. The liquor store area you will find just about anything you can imagine and more. read more

Generally my go-to grocery story for several reasons, including that they have the best prices on the widest range of organic items in the area and they carry specialty dog treats at significantly lower cost than the boutique pet stores. I don't love that most of the organic produce is individually packaged in plastic; it's wasteful, and sometimes you don't discover that the half of your bell pepper or summer squash that was hidden by a label or the cardboard tray is rotten or moldy until you open it to use it in a recipe. Tonight, I also learned the hard way that if you leave an item behind at the self-check registers and another customer grabs it, you are out of luck. I bought a $10 dog chew, realized when I got home that I'd left it at the register when loading my groceries, and called to ask if they could hold it for me for pickup tomorrow since I live half an hour from the store. The manager used a code on my receipt to look up security camera footage, which showed that I had indeed paid for the item and left it behind; that the next customer to check out at that register had set it aside; and that the customer after that had taken it and put it in with their own stuff. The manager literally watched me pay for the item and leave it there in the store, then cheerfully informed me there was nothing he could do and he hoped my evening got better. Definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth, to the extent that I would probably quit shopping there if there were any better options. read more

always has stuff I need in stock. I would recommend the country fresh ice cream. staff was nice and would always help me. and the ambiance was AMAZING, it was completely quiet, which I LOVE. I recommend this woodman's wholeheartedly. read more

They only accept Discover credit cards. They will be incredibly rude when telling you this, and act like you should have known this when it is not posted anywhere. Definitely not a place I would recommend to anyone based off of this service experience. read more

This review is very narrow, as I was here for one thing only: beer. Being from Minnesota, there are beers that you can buy in Wisconsin that you cannot in Minnesota. Delicious, wonderful beers. I was in town for work, and on my way out I used Yelp to look for the best place to buy beer. I tried a couple of places, and ended up here. Beer selection = Whoohoo! Service = meh. No credit cards accepted = what the what?!? Seriously it's 2012! Its time to break down and start accepting credit cards. WHAT THE HELL? Seriously, I almost never carry cash - and I have not been turned away from vendor when paying with a credit card in YEARS. Even the food trucks take credit cards using iPhones and Square. SERIOUSLY - it's time Woodman's. You went from a five star review to a three for this alone. I would come back if they accepted credit cards, until then... read more

I love Woodman's! They have everything and super duper deals on things you Really need. Also so convenient is the EZ Pass kiosk in the entryway. Renew your license plate in seconds. No lines at DMV... ta dah!!! read more

Woodman is a customer friendly store with wide aisles and the largest selection of various food items than any grocery store in metro Milwaukee. My favorite grocery store. read more

We shop here often due to proximity. It never fails that every visit, the produce section is filled with rotted fruits and vegetables making it hard to get all the items you need. If you do go home with all your items, it's more than likely it will rot at home within a few days. I like Woodmans overall but this location is terrible. read more

Very nice location and the staff is very friendly. They keep the sales floor very clean and everything in the fresh foods area routinely checked and ensured to be fresh. Very easy access and the store is set up nicely! read more

Ahhhh Woodman's. 'Tis a love/hate relationship I share with this place. Since I have been going here since I was a child, it is familiar and they have the best variety and prices around. Their liquor store is well stocked and has a huge selection as well! But, their produce is unremarkable and if you go there on a Sunday evening or night to try and avoid crowds, most of the stock is cleared out like folks are preparing for the Apocalypse. With that said, Woodman's is usually packed, so have time on your hands and patience on the brain if you have big shopping to do. read more

I deeply appreciate all the employees and managers doing their best to keep us all safe. I wouldn't eat half as good without this store and I'll continue being a loyal customer after we get through this. To the customers who are literally running past the sign to wear a mask and past everyone else in the community- someone might trip you read more

The absolutely best place for Holiday Spirits, wine, and beer. Fabulous selection, and the best prices in the Fox Valley.

Absolutely amazing service! I live about 45 minutes away from Appleton and my father in law was in need of a specific kind of wheat flour. I was already in the Appleton area with my young son and I called the story and the super kind lady from the grocery department went and checked if they carried it which they did! Definitely would be worth the trip back over just for Woodman's! Great products and amazing prices. Thank you! read more

Great grocery store to walk around if you are from out of town. Large cheese selection!

Woodman's, oh my Woodman's. you are a treasure trove or a grocery store. Huge selections of everything, but as a I no longer live in WI, when visiting I stop her for CHEESE. Cheese and Jolly Good Soda sold by the can. They stock my favorite kind of cheese but sometimes it is sold out. Also curds. All the cheese curds. Jolly Good, a locally made soda, is normally stocked here too, and you can buy it by the can. There is plenty of other stuff available too, but that is what I go here for. read more

Woodmans can be overwhelming because of how it's laid out and how huge it really is. But if you need something that you can't find at other stores they always seem to have it. The fact that they have so much is great but the layout of the store needs some updating. The first few times I went there I didn't even know there was more isles running a different way. Since cashiers are the face of the store I really think some skills could be stepped up. Not that they don't know how to do their job but a smile goes a long way. How are you? Did you find everything you needed today? Simple yet nice. Say it with a smile. read more

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! Assis. Manager Brenda was extremely rude, wouldn't let me explain a situation when I called, kept interrupting me. The staff is inconsistent when giving out information. Shopping at Woodman's is worst then Walmart!!! They would never get another dollar out of me. I did call corporate Peter was great, Sarah and the dispatcher was rude. When I called I thought I had the wrong number they were talking to the background. I didn't get a greeting or anything. Peter said he'll pass my name and number to a lady that will help with the complaint and super apologetic read more

I went to Woodman's once and never returned for reasons I will outline below. But first, the good! PROS: -The store is large for Appleton grocery store standards and you know what that means: lots of options! There are tons of different brands, which is perfect for someone like me who likes to compare the nutrition labels as well as the prices. -The prices are cheaper than the prices I've seen at competitor grocery stores in the area. CONS: -The produce is very "meh." It's definitely not their specialty. -No credit cards. No credit cards?! It's 2013! I almost never carry cash, so having to use cash here is a HUGE inconvenience. Despite all the positive attributes of Woodman's, not accepting credit cards lost my business here. I would consider paying cash at a restaurant that isn't up with the times yet, but for a grocery store to not accept credit cards...it's ridiculous. Sometimes grocery shopping is expensive and you have to go at least a couple times a month. There's no way I'm going to have that much cash sitting around in my wallet to pay for groceries here. If paying in cash or using a debit card doesn't bother you at all, then I honestly highly recommend Woodman's for its prices, selection, and convenient location to the mall. Unfortunately, no credit cards is a deal breaker for me. read more

This place is without a doubt the largest grocery selling establishment I have ever happened upon! They Have some short comings for sure... No credit card, just check or debit or cash here... (this kinda sucks for the traveler who likes to earn perks) I was blown away by the selection in most cases, I had a hard time finding ample dry nut selections but I have a feeling I just wasn't finding the whole nut selection, beyond that the selections for the most part were ridiculously diverse... The store boasts employee ownership which gives it an extra star in my book; this is the stark opposite of Walmart for sure! Hooooray for Woodman's Bring your walking shoes and a map because this place is huge! read more

This is absolutely the best cheese selection anywhere. Try the Bellavitano and the 12 year aged cheddar. You will not be dissappointed. read more

Went here for the beer and liquor store and it was a blast! Seriously the selection here is amazing! I could spend hours looking at everything they have to offer. From front to the back it is just stocked with tons of variety and different kinds of spirits. I am not the biggest wine consumer in the world so I cant speak about how the selection for that is, but the rest of the store should have what you need! read more

Awful service, mean employees, horrible store layout and the carts are so loud on the tile floor

Great grocery store! I almost exclusively use Woodman's as my store. They have a wide selection and good prices.

Let me put this in bold: NO CREDIT CARDS!!!!! Excellent selection of beer. I was traveling in from MN and heard this was the place to shop. I spent 30 minutes picking out over $120 in craft beer, got up to the checkout and had to put over half of it back. read more

Their prices are fantastic, and Woodmans is where I go for my middle-of-the-store stuff. Flour, butter, frozen items, cereal, soup, syrup, etc. (especially if I don't have a coupon, Woodman's is the place to go!) Yeah, the store looks outdated and it's crowded to the point where the lines sometimes are just ridiculous, but this is just what you have to do to pay the prices that Woodmans offers. I personally only go once every six weeks or so, so it's not that big of a deal. Their produce is awful and I won't generally buy it from there; the bananas go straight from green to brown. And I'm not sure about buying fresh meat there, but I will buy prepackaged or frozen or processed meats there. The lighting gives me a headache, so I try my best to get in there and out of there as fast as I can. The parking lot is sometimes a zoo, but that's to be expected. What I like a lot about Woodmans is the variety and selection. Sometimes there are items there that you just can't find anywhere else unless you go to a specialty store. My husband makes a lot of authentic Middle Eastern or Mexican or Italian dishes, because he loves to experiment in the kitchen. We find weird ingredients at Woodmans that we wouldn't be able to find anywhere else. Their service desk people are very nice and understanding if there ever is an issue. Though it can be hard to find somebody in the middle of the store to help you, they will always go digging around up on the top shelves looking for whatever it is that you need. read more

The boyfriend and I made our first trip here to do our Thanksgiving grocery shopping, lured by the prospect of a big selection and better prices than our neighborhood Festival. After navigating the parking lot and finding the door, I looked around for a map, having been warned by my mother than I should not attempt to shop without one. However, the rack that supposed held maps instead only held job applications, so we were map-less. Not a good start. Thus, we stumbled through the store, finding most of what we needed and wishing for traffic lights to navigate the jam-packed aisles. We couldn't find several things on our list, and gave up searching for them, since we did want to leave at some point. Checking out went smoothly enough, though as many reviewers have mentioned, they do NOT take credit cards, so be sure you've got debit or cash on you. We were offered a carry-out service (you drive around and they load up your car), but since we'd passed numerous doors and registers and were afraid we'd never find our groceries again if we left them, we declined and schlepped it all back out into the rain. However, a major plus of Woodman's is the prices. Our cart was piled high (though admittedly no meat or liquor), and our total was much lower than either of us expected. So in this case, I think the savings were worth it, although living in Oshkosh, I would never do any regular shopping here just due to the distance. Honestly, if you live close by and don't mind navigating the crowds, it might be worth it, but for us at least, Woodman's is for big parties only. read more
