Clean, helpful staff, great meats and bakery goods. Not frozen goods put on shelves to thaw like Wal-Mart!! They still bag your groceries and will bring to your car without a long wait to find a cart person, like cub!

I love this store. It is always clean, the produce is always fresh and organized, and there is a wide selection, with unique offerings throughout the store. There are some unique soda brands that are not found in other stores as well as various novelties and deserts in the bakery area. The only negative is the pricing on some items, however, they do have some very good deals and sales quite often.

I just moved here and drove by Cub Foods to try out this place and I have found my new grocery store. I love this place. Great organic selection - amish chicken, they have a Dunn Bros cafe, they have grocery baggers, and its got a clean happy atmosphere with nice people. They even had an unusual cheese that I cant find anywhere (Havarti#4) and they have the old home crab dip that I can only ever find at cub. This place rocks!Only improvement I can think of would be to put the deli near the exit instead of the entrance. I was gonna buy a rotisserie chicken and taters at the end of my shopping and forgot...

Stand-out on 1st visit was the deli. While they had the usual supermarket fare of fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, and mayo salads, they were also offering more unusual selections that appealed to my jaded palate. Along with groceries, I went home with some excellent beer-battered cod fillets we accented with malt vinegar, tarter sauce, and chips on the side. My only regret was not buying more. Frequent visits are a given.

Festival is very similar to cub or county market, so if you want to get some grocery shopping in, festival is a great place! They also always have a garden center outside, a tree center (for Christmas time), and sometimes a firework center, for those months.

Great gluten-free and vegan choices! Really nice produce. Had to talk myself out of a nice plant in the gift area. I prefer this grocery store over most others. I like that its not like being in a warehouse. A lot.

Selection of organic is okay. The dont have everything but can find most things. I enjoy going here over Cub because its smaller. Although their customer service has a lot to be desired. That is why I give it an average mark.

Review №27

This store has a lot of specialty products for gluten and dairy free diets that are hard to find in other stores. Thats pretty much all I buy here though. Everything else is overpriced, but I understand theyre just trying to stay in business. It cant be easy having Walmart and Target right down the road. For what its worth, Ive heard from other locals that Festival has the best bakery in town.

Review №31

Festival Foods stores are always a good experience and the Andover location is no exception. The store was bright and clean, shelves were well-stocked and the staff were helpful. We werent able to find everything on our list (pad thai sauce) during this particular visit, but its hard to expect smaller chains to carry extensive product lines. That said, we got everything else we went for (and then some), and were on our way quickly. Well certainly be back. Highly recommended!

Clean store and well stocked. Was able to find an item I was looking for that 3 other grocery stores did not have. Friendly staff.

Review №33

Festival Foods is the grocery store to go to for largest selection of grocery items in our neighborhood. They have all kinds of stuff that can’t be found at it’s national chain competitors up the street: cut flowers, sour cream in a squeeze tube, Heggie’s Pizza, Blue Bunny Pistachio Almond ice cream, refill spices in bags, cherry flavored dried plums, Tamari sauce - the list goes on and on. They also have a well curated fresh vegetable and fruit section, a meat counter and an in-store bakery. Items that Festival stocks in common with its competitors are usually priced a bit higher at Festival but that is a small worthwhile trade-off when those hard-to-find items are there also.

Le
Review №34

Their produce, bakery, flowers, meat department and deli are always great! Also, they have speciality stuff you can’t find anywhere else-Chip Magnet salsa is amazing and recently found Stonewall Kitchen items! Employees are always professional and kind! Clean store!

Review №45

Convenience is the only reason I go here, well that and the have a Dunn Brothers (best coffee of all chains), but the prices are so high that you will feel like Hy-Vee is a discount center.

Sh
Review №46

Higher prices than Cub and Walmart. Plus they have expired items still for sale on their shelves. For example, I bought a bunch of baby food there and 4 jars were expired by a few months. I didnt realize it that I would have to seek out baby food that wasnt expired otherwise I wouldnt have bought them. Had to go to a different store chain just to replace the wasted baby food. Wasnt too happy after already spending more money here than I wanted to.

This is the only place I can get VioLife cheese!!! This is the a great place if you are looking for something between cub and Hy-Vee, leans closer to Hy-Vee.

Festival is a little pricey compared to the Walmart nearby, but what youre getting is better every thing. Better produce. Better deli. Better Bakery. They have the biggest variety, and the most accessible gluten free and vegan options

LOVE the ribs in the deli!!! On top of being yummy (please bare in mind I eat small meals compared to the general population), I got enough ribs for a satisfying lunch for less than $2.00... If it gives a better pic/idea I had 7 bones when I was done.

Not typically over crowded, fresh produce, reasonable meat counter. Some think Festival is expensive, but some higher end items I like are typically cheaper.

Hi
Review №58

Ok Festival. Im really trying not to write bad reviews but you really need to do something about your store. Ive been going to your store for years now and the quality never improves, just gets worse.Youre not only over-priced but a lot of your stuff are old. I even had one of your guys in the meat section sell me shrimp that was freezer burnt! Your avocados, too disgusting when you open them!And now this lemon, again overpriced, thats rotting inside the package!Lastly, teach your baggers to separate raw food in a different bag. Theyll put bread or fruits with raw meat! They need training AND common sense.

Review №62

Thee prices are little more expensive compared to their competitors but there are some great perks to shopping here. The store is clean. There are delicious samples throughout the store. The deli food is fresh and delicious. They also have fresh sushi that is prepared everyday. So good. Great store layout. The women in the bakery are awesome and helpful. Ive had nothing but positive experiences here. They have a customer rewards program but Im still trying to understand it. I dont shop here for a essentials but it is a treat to shop here. Can I say that I love and like it? 😉 Oh also, they have the Dunn Brothers coffee shop in the store and the manager there is so nice, so is the coffee.

I only go to Festival stores for alfalfa sprouts because it seems to be the only place I can find them. I wouldnt do any regular shopping here because they are way overpriced and carry many of the same brands of products other stores have.

Love festival foods, theyre awesome and always clean. The variety they offer is huge and better prices than cub. I enjoy their bakery and deli the most. Excellent baked goods. Wide selection of fresh produce. Staff are friendly and helpful as well. My pup enjoys the fresh marrow bones, and turkey parts. Overall really nice grocery store, will choose them over big box office places.

This looks like a low end grocery store until you walk in and see it IS low end; then you see their prices.... outrageous. Especially, because there are better grocery stores nearby. I was in the store for only a few minutes to check the place out. Prices so high i would never go back.

Last night was our first time we went to this restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the courteous service, with the finest cuisine and wine and with the comfortable pay. We will surely visit there again.

I grocery shop here often when I am in town. I love this store! They are very organized, have items in stock, are very clean, and staff are helpful and very friendly! And they bag groceries for their customers! Love the service! They also offer shopping and delivery of groceries for home-bound customers. Wish we had a Festival Foods store in Grand Rapids, MN!

I dont shop here very often but I may have to start quite a wide selection in the deli and seafoods especially, a little spendy but worth it.

Review №85

The service is great, from the deli through the meat market to checkout. The problem I have with the store are the vegetables. It us rare that I get a bag if onions of potatoes that do not have a bad one included. I would also love to see crisp celery every now and again. Other than the vegetables the stir us great.

I really like this store, because is really clean. Im always satisfied with the quality of the produce and I find the meats and cuts more tasty here than any other store. This place is smaller than the other stores around but I usually find items that I cant find anywhere else. The personnel is always kind and helpful. They help you pack your groceries while you pay.

Love this store! Many hard to find items. Several are only sold here. Very clean, colorful, and excellent produce. Scoured the local stores looking for redfish for a recipe. This was the only store that carried it and it was one of the highest quality fillets Ive seen in awhile. Seafood here is the best in town!

Review №99

They have a good variety of breads, produce, lots of organic fruit. Their selection of vegetables is very good. Dressings, salad fixings par excellence. Soups, meats, fish, organic corn chips, cheeses, frozen foods good selection also. My 2 complaints are they dont have the Jamaican Pick -a- Peppa sauce anymore which is my favorite, and their oils for cooking is under par. Plenty of olive oils, but I dont use Canola or corn or soy or peanut. Prefer Safflower and only had 1 kind, organic small expensive bottle. Brought this to their attention so hopefully they will get more variety of oils. Also, lest I not forget, the Dunn Bros. Coffee shop in the store had my hard to find flavor of syrup for purchase and you get a discount for your next visit. Always fresh roasted beans which I love.
