Only place I will go to get produce and meat! Main reason is I worked in receiving and I actually know this stuff is fresh and good quality. Other stores... I cant say that I could say the same thing.

The staff is very professional, and the beef is actually grade A. The butchers are actually butchers and The place is always clean! They are a touch pricey, but the old saying you pay for what you get is spot on at this location. Many times Ive shopped here and never disappointed from the deli to the bakery to even the fresh Market brand of Goods Top notch. I really have nothing to say bad about this place what so ever...

I enjoyed seeing a large selection of fresh and better choices of produce and meats. I found the selection of deli and spice variety really nice.The employees went out of their way and above/beyond to attempt to help me gather ingredients for a non-typical recipe I want to try for my family.Though the ingredients I sought after werent there, I saw enough there to make me attempt to utilize them again with other recipes.

Nice store, really Friendly working associates. Largest assortment of product of a FM in Sc I have been in. All the Produce was fresh as it could be for inside market. Ms Brenda is a gift to that store. Her talents are worth my time and money. Baskets I saw she put together was a job of a person with know how.The front end lady older and tall had me feeling like I was just the only one on the planet so nice .I will be there soon to see the bakery in action once More. Thats good work.

I just love this place! There are so many gourmet items there. I love to go there when I am making a gift baskets because they have so many wonderful food items. I also love their coffee that you can buy pre-bagged or you can grind your own there from the variety available. They also have an amazing food bar that you can grab and go and the food is delicious. I always like to buy fresh seafood from the back counter, I love their crab cakes! They also have a great produce section. Definitely check it out, they have too many items to list them all!

I come here from saluda to get some decent produce. Im super grateful for the selection that yall have available. Due to my bodys response to food recently Im having to switch to an organic vegetarian based diet. So, it was nice to come in and be able to find a variety of nutrition for my new lifestyle choices.

Great store with high quality produce, meat and seafood. One of the few places in Aiken where the fish is of a high quality. If you are looking for unique condiments, oils and a good wine selection, this is the place.

The Fresh Market is a wonderful place to shop. They have a good variety and fresh, well, everything. They also have competitive prices to other supermarkets. It aint WalMart though. Its way better! I recommend them to everyone

The Fresh Market is an upscale super market. Overall, the quality is great, but the prices are on the higher side. Guess you pay for what you get.Outside: The store has a large parking lot and plenty of parking. There are also some items you can pick up outside, and there is usually a sign outside with specials listed. Outside of the store is also updated and attractive.The market has a wide selection of fresh fruits, vegetables and also has a butchery. Everything is always fresh. There is also a selection of nuts and sweets that you can buy by the pound, which is nice. They have a specialty deli as well that makes salads, pasta salads, pizzas, and other assorted items. They also have a selection of wines and beers that are a little more rare than you would find in another store. They are lacking on the regular items such as chips or snacks that you might go to another grocery store for. They stock the specialty chips, but you wont find Pringles here.While the selection is great, I usually only buy the Little Big Meal at the store. It is $20 for a meal for 4 people. Anything that isnt on sale is a little pricey.Ive never had an issue with the staff and checkout lines are usually pretty short. I usually go in the mornings so the store is not very crowded.

One of the few places in Aiken to offer really healthy choices that are hard to find elsewhere. Im looking at you Siete foods! I just wish they offered more Applegate deli meats rather than just the patties.

Its too bad for the people that live in Aiken because in the rest of the country there are better places like these that are a dime a dozen that put this place to shame. With the classical music and spot lighting we were half expecting someone to pop around the corner and ask us if we had any grey poupon. While the store looks clean and pretentious, thats all it is. The people working in the deli have a staring problem and will talk about you and belittle you to other employees right in front of you.... we must have obviously looked like we were from out of town. They talk down about customers to other customers when youre in line. On cheap meat Tuesdays the employees will talk about customers saying they can tell whos in there for cheap meat and whos a real customer. They charge nearly 5 times the amount for the same item at Kroger - which btw, Kroger has a larger organic selection that looks and tastes fresher and doesnt rip you off. This place is a joke and is for people who want to feel special about themselves for paying 3x the grocery bill. Their items arent special and they had nothing out of the ordinary. They put generic candy in bulk containers and then charge $10/lb. Dont waste your time and money being judged by CASHIERS in this place. They do think they are so important and special....but lets remember their job title..... grocery cashiers. Arrogant ones. Kroger is a third of a mile down the street and has everything you need and will respect you.

Overall good selection of harder to find ingredients. The staff are always friendly, and the food quality is good. Some of the prices for more common things are a little higher, but for those harder to find things theyre great. They have a decent selection of foreign goods. Their deli has good foods and the employees are very knowledgeable about whats in their products and how theyre prepared. They have great weekly family meals but you definitely have to get there early in the week as the meals are picked over pretty quick. This place is great for when you want to cook something foreign or a seasonal limited time treat. They also have a decent selection of those harder to find spices and seasonings. Overall, Fresh Market is worth the trip for that occasional special meal, but not so much for your every day cooking as their overall selection just really doesnt support a daily meal plan.

Review №54

Overpriced produce that is of average or below quality.Meat department is staffed with inexperienced butchers that are front cashiers in training. This was my experience the last two times I was in the store.I do not shop this store today.The Augusta store is better staffed with knowledgable staff and the produce is far superior. My favorite shopping destination is Sprouts in Augusta.Extraordinary quality and pricing.This has the Whole Foods vibe with very reduced pricing.This store offers remarkable selection of specialty foods that are again priced very reasonably.

I love Fresh Markets chicken salad. Unfortunately, because the experience I had this morning, I wont be able to support Fresh Market again. The management was excellent in trying to resolve my issue. However, I think it would be extremely helpful to coach their staff in customer service. Thanks to the manager for attempting to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, I dont think this is something a freebie can fix.

The fresh market always has some new gourmet dish for me to try. When Im looking for the unusual and exotic, this is where I go. Their pecan crusted trout is fantastic. I also love that I can get sandwich quality brioche there because its hard to find. Its ts like the big city market has come to Aiken. Yay!

Clean, well-organized aisles; fully-stocked shelves; wide array of common and unique offerings. Friendly, courteous staff.

Very friendly staff, super helpful, but products are just way too overpriced. Im a super clean eater, and you cant go there and expect to find mostly healthy things, because theyre not. Its more fresh with the trending foods than it is with whats healthiest. That said, its a great place to find some of the more unique or difficult to find foods like spices, root vegetables, and/or variations of cheeses (unpasteurized/ grass-fed) for example.

The shopping center is easily accessible and not usually busy which is nice considering I’m usually a get in and get out type of person. Very helpful staff and a special thanks to the lady in the fresh deli department for going above and beyond to help me. I came in to get a chicken salad sandwich that they always have several premade. They were out(probably because everyone is picking them up) and I asked her if there might be some they just prepared that I might grab. She said if they weren’t where I had checked they were out but she then offered to make one specifically for me. I grabbed a box of the fresh croissants for her and she fixed one up for me on the spot and even cut a fresh tomato/lettuce for it. Outstanding customer service! I didn’t catch her name but please pass this along to the staff in deli, she made my night.

Review №92

Fresh market is a very trendy grocery store. It is almost impossible to leave this store with more than two items and not spend 20 dollars unless you go in the store and buy two things just to prove this wrong. I prefer an organic section in a grocery store to an entire store of organic food. If you need some specific weird food, there is a chance you can find it here, but be prepared to pay big for it.

Whats happened to The Fresh Market I thought they used to be a gourmet grocer providing the ultimate in products I still stood at the meat counter and waited 12 minutes one person waiting on 96 ft of service Meat and seafood was so overwhelmed she went and got the nineteen-year-old to help her who was clueless to anything that was going on poor guy was not trained right not his fault at all. Fresh market what a fail no wonder your clothes and stores all over the nation
