Market Basket

Love market basket. So glad they finally opened close by. Much better quality and selection of prepared foods in many different department. Clean, super friendly staff such a delightful change from many of the bigger chains that have the variety that is needed. :)

Ok so, I might love to go grocery shopping, a lot… A REAL LOT! I love it as a matter of fact. I am known to head out to store by 11am and return around 5. I could and I do walk around for HOURS…
Coming from several years working for Whole Foods Market I have been accustomed to expect QUALITY when it comes to my food, I also look for variety, freshness and over all PRICE!
Market Basket kinda hits the nail on the head on all of these! I was blown away by the selection, over all appearance, cleanliness, and prices of just about everything… There were sooooo many things to look at that it made me wonder how its possible that one store could sell enough food to go through the amount of items they have on hand.
I highly recommend the Breaded Eggplant from the prepared foods department… I stuffed two of the «cutlets» with a ricotta and basil mixture and then threw them into the oven… They crisped right up, i then topped them with a little mozzarella and red sauce and VOILA… FANTASTIC, EASY AND DELICIOUS!
The 99 cent iced coffee for the ride home was awesome as well!
Honestly, this grocery store has everything going for it! I am so glad I stopped in and will definitely be doing ALL MY SHOPPING here from now on… YOU CANNOT BEAT THE PRICES!!!

You need realistic expectations– This is not hannafords or roche bros… it is market basket. the walmart of grocery stores. It has great prices but it isn’t always as organized or pristine as the other stores. I personally do not buy meat or produce here but would buy anything shelf stable!

FIRST TIMER:
I read the reviews before I went shopping Friday after work (around 7:30). I must admit it was a bit crowded. But the reason I wanted to write was about customer service. I did ask two different employees question and both was rude as if I was bugging them. but I don’t want to focus on them. The cashier Alexa W (662) was not only extremely nice but very professional. I hope management read this because she was the one that convinced me to come back. Sometimes low prices aren’t enough if there is bad customer service.

This isn’t my first choice grocery store for a plethora of reasons, but it’ll do in a bind. Mainly due to convenience, it’s the closest grocery store to me. Things I love: they have a rockin takeout area; great place to grab a hot sandwich or fresh sushi for lunch and my son loves their freshly popped popcorn bags (and I like the prices). Thats another thing I love, the prices are pretty exceptional and they have an abundnce of selection. So the abundance of selection is a pro and a con for me. I sometimes find myself staring for awhile before making a decision because there is so much to choose from. The store is a bit too big for my taste, it always takes awhile to check out and the organic section in produce isn’t a huge selection. Ill stick to stop m shop and whole foods for most of my grocery store needs but I won’t hesitate to pop in here when i want a quick lunch or to grab an item or two.

first this market basket is always clean
the big crowds and hurds of customers is not the employee or workers fault
every employee ive met in there is always great and super friendly
the food is priced way cheaper and priced to sell which is why they need to keep stocking shelves
anyone you ask for help or where an item is they will not only tell you what aisle but will walk with you there
the aisles are wider than both taunton/​Raynham and new Bedford locations
just about every register is always open each has a bagger too
they have maps where certain stuff is located when you walk in very convenient, grab one or two on your way out this way you know better for next time if you get lost

Walked in and ordered a pizza. Told it was 25 minutes. Came back after shopping for 30 minutes and it wasn’t even put in the oven yet. Same thing to the guy who ordered immediately after me. A guy came to pick up his pizza for 5pm that he ordered at 10am. 5:14pm and his didn’t even go in yet. This place needs to get its stiff in order. The store manager went behind after I went looking for him to tell him. He just made excuses and didn’t offer to do anything. So I walked out to order from a real pizza place. Stick to groceries and leave pizza business to professionals.

Love Market Basket. Wish it wasn’t so far from home.
This place has tons of stuff and the prices are great. It’s a very large store and it can take a lot of time to see everything. They have lots of prepared food (which I haven’t gotten any of but it looks really good) and a large assortment of bakery goods. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I try to get out to MB as much as possible.

We’ve been to the Market Basket once so far, probably back around March. It was OK. At least for the foods we (my wife and I) eat, the selection wasn’t better or worse than what’s at Stop & Shop. Prices seemed the same.
I liked that it was spacious and clean. But just you wait. The masses will crud that up. That was the only part I outright didn’t like. Too many people and too many lines. I felt like I was waiting in line for bread in Soviet Russia. («In Soviet Market Basket, bargain hunts you!»)
It sure was an interesting feeling to pick out broccoli in the exact same place I stood to pick out CDs when it was a Strawberries. (Remember that place?)

Stop and Shop may as well just close its doors as MB is far superior. Firstly the staff is always smiling and helpful. Imagine a store that has a good amount of checkout lines open and each one has a bagger!
There’s endless brands to choose from when searching for an item; choice is a good thing. The store is much better stocked than Stop and Shop which should change its name to, «We don’t have it!»
I’m very impressed with the specialty items and again, it’s nice to have a choice. I do find that I am saving money as compared to «the other place» who can keep their gas points as my credit card got compromised at their gas pump!

I have a love /​hate relationship with this store. They have great prices and a great take out area. They also have an abundance of ethnic products but the store is very unorganized. The way they have their aisles set up have no rhyme or reason. It takes me forever to locate items. It’s also super busy and the aisles are very tight for the kind of traffic they get. Maybe opening more stores in the area will help… hopefully sooner than later.

Let me begin with: I do not live anywhere near a Market Basket. Sad. When I am in an area that has a Market Basket, I make it a point to stop. (The closest one is about an hour away.) They have such a great selection and the prices are so good. I picked up some celery salt here for $ 0.99 — same item was almost $ 4.00 at my local grocery. (Arrgh.) I hope the folks who live nearby appreciate what a gem they have in their own back yard. My only disappointment is the organic produce section is pretty thin.
When we travel, we’ll stop and pick up some pre-​made meals to heat up in the microwave of our lodging. So many choices. Full bakery, café, prepared foods, wine and beer, so much food. Like every grocery store, you have to be a smart shopper: some things will be more expensive and others will be less. These stores are quite large and the staff is always friendly.

I don’t get the excitement. Its crowded, the prices… are fine. There I said it.
I see no major difference in my shopping here than I do at Trader Joes or a Price Rite.
Some of the items I like from a major supermarket end up costing more on average here than other places. Polar Seltzer is typically a $ 1 on special, whereas everywhere else a sale price is 60 – 80 cents.
I have never not seen this placed be anything but overwhelmingly mobbed, and they have some inconvenient hours closing at 7 on sundays.

They are the only supermarket chain in our area that makes you turn over your credit card at checkout. You may all remember the incident 5 years ago when millions of credit card number were stolen at supermarket stores!!! Keep your paws to yourself! Do you think someone with a stolen credit card is going to use it for $ 50 bucks in groceries??? I don’t think so
Most food products okay, prices decent… but not cheap

Yeah, I don’t get the hype. There are some deals, but none that you can’t get elsewhere by being a shrewd shopper. Its almost always packed, and it is just not an enjoyable experience, not that shopping necessary is, but its more like a chore here.

Overrated if you ask me. Their prices aren’t as cheap as word of mouth suggested. They have some items on sale sure but their regular priced items are no cheaper then the average grocery store’s. Another issue I have with this store is their own brand items. They are terrible, especially the bread. I literally tried to make a sandwich with their bread and the bread fell apart as I was trying to eat my sandwich. The same thing happened when I tried their own brand flour tortillas. Never buy any of their own brand bread!
Another thing is the store is never fully stocked. If you come in early, there are big sections that are empty; the meat section, produce. One would think they would have everything filled overnight by their crew but apparently all their deliveries come in the middle of the day. You have a ton of people stocking shelves and blocking off aisles with pallets during the busiest times during the day when it should all be done at night with no customers like most stores do. It’s hard to believe how behind the times this company is. If you come in early on most days they only have one or two registers open as well as only one or two people at the deli. I don’t even get my deli meat here because the line is too long with only one person working there who is slow as molasses by the way. Of course on the weekend they are heavily staffed, but try the week days and the staff is like a ghost town.
Lastly I have interacted with some of their staff and some of them are stuck up. I have been in the store and have actually heard an employee be belittled right on the intercom when he got a price wrong and pretty much was told he couldn’t do basic math. To me this store is more like a Wal-​Mart type of store instead of a conventional grocery store like Stop and Shop which isn’t good in my book. A big store with a lot of employees who don’t have the best people skills. After giving this store many tries, I think I will stick with Stop and Shop. Not only do I still get my gas points but Stop and Shop has better branded items, better staff, and overall a better grocery shopping experience.

Market basket is still the leader in low prices and selection. I come in first thing in the morning and it’s easy to shop for things.

I’ve grown increasingly disappointed with this Market Basket over the past few weeks, and not just for the reasons stated in my previous review. Aside from stocking issues, I’ve had interactions with employees that have been just sad. A rude bakery clerk, a stocker who ran over my toe and didn’t even apologize, just stared at me, and cashiers who complain nonstop about how management gets them in trouble and how they hate working there. Worst of all is the cocky floor/​register manager dude who barely pretends to be helpful and polite while he’s berating his employees for, honestly, the stupidest things.
I’m sort of done with this MB except in case of special items or emergencies, and then I plan to be in and out quickly. If no one’s happy here, then why should my money support a business that makes people miserable? These people need sensitivity training or team building or something to cheer themselves the hell up.

Yesterday was my first time at a Market Basket, and I was totally floored by the low prices, cleanliness, and quality of the produce at this South Attleboro location. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a nicer grocery store of its type. My bf and I came from Providence in a Zipcar to check it out, and the low prices more than made up for the cost of renting the car.
We took our time going around the entire store and filled up our cart with beautiful seasonal produce, ice cream (Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen Dasz are only $ 3.69! whereas they’re almost $ 6 at many Providence stores), packs of frozen fish filets (including snapper and mahi mahi– fancy!), meats to fill up our freezer and grill later this summer, great gourmet cheeses and olives, and pantry staples. A whole rotisserie chicken for under $ 5, and a beautiful container of arugula for $ 3. At the checkout we guessed we spent $ 150 – 170, and the total ended up being (drumroll…) only $ 120. I was totally shocked. At any of our regular Providence grocery stores, it would have definitely been over $ 200.
It was fairly crowded, but no more so than Eastside Market or Whole Foods are in Providence on the weekends. Service at the checkout lanes was pleasant and efficient. I know the place is relatively new, but if it’s really always this clean and organized, I will seriously consider commuting here regularly to get our groceries. It’s a 15 minute drive away, which seems worth it when some items cost a full 30% less than elsewhere! Rock on, Market Basket.

Came here today for the opening day and was worried they might not handle the crowd very well, but my shopping experience went smoothly. The prices are competitive, well organized, great pre-​made food selection and best of all there is a coffee/​pastry bar! Also cheerful and helpful employees (hope not just because it is the first day lol).
I truly hope that they maintain all of the above in the future!
