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!
Great meatloaf with russet potatoes grat tasting .
Very clean, well stock, great bakery and meat department
Clean well laid out store. A little more expensive than Cub but a solid 2nd choice.
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...
A little bit more expensive than cub or walmart product is always fresh
Quick and easy to pickup things for dinner or lunch.
Nice clean store. Good produce. Median prices. Dunn Brothers coffee shop in store.
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.
Best meat, produce and Taste of Scandinavia bakery items anywhere around!
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.
Had so many options for coconut water. Thank goodness!
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.
Got everything on my listVery nice store and service
Found a good variety of low sodium food for my new diet.
Lovely store. Always well stocked,neat and clean. If I cant find a perticular item Im looking for elsewhere I can usually find it at Festival. The staff is always friendly an helpful. Thanks Festival for your great store!
Queen fresh produce great value for what you get
Good produce and meat departments, but extremely over priced. Exact same items are up to 30% cheaper at other stores.
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.
Has a good selection of organic and non dairy foods.
Always friendly and clean. Some things are pricey but great deals on other items. Nice floral area offering fresh cut flowers and potted plants.
First time here. Was a nice place pretty big and good selection
We love festival!!! And all other union grocers
Very nice people and very helpful when looking for things in there and there deli got some good food
Clean, well stocked. Always has what you need. Great place to shop.
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.
Stocked shelves and plenty of check out options
Clean and friendly environment. Has a huge assortment of floral items. Bakery is one of the best around.
Good Clean Store, Friendly People..
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.
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.
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!
When cannot find it anywhere, its probably at Festival.
There Bakery is Excellent! The Employees are nice!
Clean, great bakery. Helpful staff.
Ive shopped here for 15 years. Never been on a ban. Clean, fresh, quality food. Have to pick the produce carefully at times. Helpful, friendly people work here. You get your food bagged dont complain. Cleanest grocery store bathroom. A
Love their selection, and staff are very friendly!
Strong sewer smell in produce area so strong it stopped me fork normal produce stock up and employees talking bout cleaning up dead mice. Staff did not seem to care.
Great place for non gmo foods.
Very friendly staff, and easy to shop on.
I did not go to festival. But I still love it.
Great groceries and most of the time someone packed my bag for me
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.
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.
A bit more expensive and the eye appeal isnt the best but everyone here is great. Service is nice and fast usually (including deli)
Nice clean place. Only place I can find my flavor of sparkling water I like.
Always great service and selection
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
Good selection of produce. Good prices. Super friendly helpful manager. Nice meat department.
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.
Clean, well organized and a fantastic bakery. Also they have great produce and meats. A bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Nice clean store, prices on the high side. Friendly and helpful staff.
Clean, nice selection, but high-priced.
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.
The store for organic and healthy foods. This is my first time of visiting this store. The staff are very helpful and the store is neat and clean. I love their chicken and plantain chips.
Great selection and prices for quality products and awesome floral department
So clean and well kept. Very helpful staff. Well stocked and beautiful fruit and other produce too. All other areas of this store have the products I want and need.
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.
Love this store. Only issue is ive gotten home to find some of my food items are past the expiration dates a few times so I just make sure to check myself before I leave the store. So much better produce and much cleaner than walmart across the street!
I love stopping at Festival Foods. Always friendly and fast staff. Store is always cleaned and stocked. Prices are always low and that makes me happy! 5 stars!
The prices are alot higher in MN then they are in WI. Otherwise a nice store!
Great Grocery store. Yummy baked goods
Meats are fresh and more flavor than others near by.
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.
Lost my wallet in the asparagus then left asparagus there, came back and wallet and asparagus were still there
Love this store. So many fun things, great meat choices, bakery and good deli. Went in for take out fried chicken which is great and so reasonably priced. Clean and always well stocked. Friendly staff. Great place to shop.
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 is an old style grocery store with friendly staff eager to help you with your selections.
Real nice large festival food / set up of aisle a little confusing but everything else in store is great only negative comment I have seem like very nice employees very helpful and nice look forward to shopping more there just moved into area and cant wait to enjoy this festival and make it my new one to shop at keep up good work
Please check your dates!
Very clean and stocked well. Good prices
Good store. Busy little more expensive but have almost everything you need.
Always a great experience
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.
Just a nice grocery store. Not so big that you get lost. Always nice produce and meat selection. Never too busy. Quick in and out.
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.
Spotless, clean, friendly and maticulesly stocked. Amazingly managed! The chicken pot pie on Mondays are worth making a special trip. Absolutely delicious, the crust is awesome, made with loving care.
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.
The store clean, well stocked and the employees are pleasant and helpful.
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.
My new favorite store!
Very happy was the only store I could find skin on chicken breast
Always love going to festival! I just moved to the area and was sad to move away from the festival by my old house. But then I found this one! So clean and everyone is nice
Excellent seafood and meat counter, and always beautiful fresh flower selections!
I feel comfortable wearing a mask in their store. Clean, well stocked.
Nice product. A little expensive. Some tomato were bad.But it was clean
A little more expensive but the produce and meat are well worth while.
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!
Good selection with affordable price.
Best grocery store in town. Freashist food and best quality. Pice is reflected in food quality. Very clean store and they bag your groceries for you.
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.
Love this store. Less busy than Walmart across the road, clean and friendly.
