Love Fresh Market! and this store is in my area so I go often. But, I have to say I am usually disappointed with their produce. Not always so fresh, and not enough Organic selections. The store on University always has such a nice selection of produce but I shouldnt have to drive all the way over there. Also, this store stopped making the Turkey wraps, yet the store on University makes them all the time! odd! This store does have great customer service, its a clean store, great location, has unique items and specialty items.. Please bring in fresh produce and more of it. along with organic - Thank you :)

Very underwhelming experience. Went in a little after noon having heard they had a delicious rotisserie chicken. Also was looking for some unflavored instant oat meal. No instant oatmeal available and the chicken turned out to soggy and at best lukewarm

Nice experience. Honestly, quite expensive, but its really one of the only places near me that has a consistent variety of organic healthy options. Nice staff.

Some of the staff aren’t polite. Everytime I go there which has been recently I asked for something it’s easy to say no instead of just helping me to find the items I need. A lot of rude staff. There is just the nicest person in the bakery. I don’t know if it’s because I am a Latina. I am just very disappointed how people can be so rude.

Love the Fresh Market! I get the market bacon and meats from the butcher along with everything special that I really love to have on hand. The raw almonds are excellent for alt-milk. Watch for their sales because it can be pricey.

Great selection of ready to go meals with many combinations. They have great fresh fruit at comparable prices to area grocery stores and their sushi is gorgeous! I also love the variety of snack mixes that you can take exactly how much you want, organic or salt-free as well as Heart Hero, a family favorite.

Why do you allow dogs inside your store! I have two dogs and I know where they have been. I never take them inside a store or leave them in my car. It is so unsanitary to have them in a grocery cart or with unwrapped food. . Is it better to allow two people come in with there dogs or 50 people who don’t! Your prices are not that cheap, the public should expect more than having a dogs bottom sitting where your food sits.

Some random really way too expensive items but overall you Whole Foods equivalent. Staff were fantastic, friendly, and helpful. Best place for organic and really fresh produce. Wonderful fish and cakes too!

I am 70 yo and had the best tamale that I have ever eaten today, even from a Mexican restaurant here or abroad. It came from the Fresh Market deli. I have been shopping there since they first opened, but never knew they had fresh tamales in the deli. Generous amount of shredded pork encased in the tamale. Hope their selection of Mexican food is increased in the deli. Never have had any complaints of any product purchased at the Bradenton Fresh Market. They are community minded and we all appreciate that. Don’t mind paying a little higher price for their excellent service and higher quality of food, wine and flowers.Thank you,Rita BaileyHolmes Beach

Placed a Thanksgiving dinner for my son whod be alone this holiday. I placed the order online. The Fresh Market website took my credit card information. When my son showed up to get his order he was abruptly stopped and asked about a receipt. Have you payed for the dinner ?the employee asked.My son ended up having to pay for his own meal. Needless to say how embarrassing it was for him. The website nor email confirming my order stated nothing about how the payment process worked.The food may be fresh but the administration is pretty sorry. Dont waste your time with this store in person or online.

Too many people without face masks, even though there is a sign saying to not come in without a mask . Recommend moving the sign to a more prominent location and even have two signs since there are two sets of doors.

Review №52

My daughter and I were at your store this morning shortly after opening. While shopping she asked me to take her to the restroom. As we were walking down the hall we noticed one of your male employees still wearing his green apron walk directly into the women’s restroom. My daughter squeezed my hand and asked me why did the man walk into the women’s restroom. As we were about to turn around he walks out of the women’s restroom and tells us to go right in and that he’ll just wait for the men’s restroom. Instead we walked out of your store and won’t be returning.

This is my favorite grocery store in the area. I love the selections and that they carry a lot of items that bigger stores do not! Great prices on nuts in the bulk section. Olive and salad bar is very delicious. I buy meat here on Tuesdays, because their fresh meat has great sales! Definitely check them out, you will not be disappointed.

I love The Fresh Market! They have great sales, so check the ads before you go! Currently they have $2.99 ground chuck and chicken breast organic every Tuesdays! Plus, they vary the other sale items each week! I just bought 3 lb of grass-fed beef for $4.99 a pound and it was absolutely delicious! Warning, once you taste their organic beef youll never be able to go back to non-organic! Smells better raw, cooking and cooked! The Taste is phenomenal! Try it, youll like it!

It has been around 3 or so years since I shopped at a Fresh Market store. I used to go to shop at one all the time when I lived in Columbus.Never fails to surprise me all the wonderful meats and baked goods that they sell. While I was there I picked up some cold drinks, chocolates, baked goods, and some fruit.Pricing is a little high but well worth the shopping.

Awesome store! Their produce is so fresh and they have great meat specials weekly. I have dietary restrictions/ allergies and I shop here for my gluten free and dairy free foods. They have a wide selection. I was just told that in a couple of weeks, they will be getting over 600 new products! I cant wait to see what they are!

Pricey, but they have the best products! Great price on FR eggs. Wide selection of Almond milk coffee blends and cold-brew coffee brands and healthy cold drinks. Cashiers are friendly. Special ice cream brand, try Cool Haus, it is awesome. Great produce. Well stocked, except snack aisle - mouth-watering bakery too.

I just was overcharged at this place. The item was marked at the wrong price. It was a hassle trying to chase down the difference.....pretty aggravating. This seems to happen a lot if you start paying attention......not real happy with this place at the moment....the staff wasnt even apologetic and I dont believe they lifted a finger to try and correct the sign that was displaying the wrong price!

Review №71

Very nice place inside. If you like Publix, you will love this place also. Large selection of deli, meat, produce, trail mixes/ nuts, heathy and organic items. Might end up spending more than you intended, cause the prices arent like Walmart. But everything is clean and looks high quality. They take EBT.

I have been going to the Fresh Market since they opened. I really enjoy the store and the nice employees. I mostly shop for the organic vegetables & fruits but lately they have been carrying a new brand of vegetables from a company called Foxy Organic and must admit their quality is far from acceptable. Even though the location is so close to my home and convenient, I am going to have start looking for other stores with a better quality of organic vegetables and I hear there will be some new ones opening up in the area soon. My rating would of been a 5 star but since they are using this new supplier I am only giving a 1 start rating.

Questionable food handling at meat counter. This review is specific to this one visit.I dont expect much when Im grocery shopping, but I do expect cleanliness at any counter that serves raw or prepared food.Heres what I encountered today.  I asked for a couple cuts of pork.  The employee grabbed the two pieces with small plastic squares and placed them on the scale.  To be clear, he placed the raw meat on the scale.  There was also a raw beef scrap on the same scale, as well as on the customer counter.  I wonder what else was left on the scale prior to my order, chicken possibly?  I do wash my food thoroughly prior to cooking, but this is just poor food handling in my opinion.I did think about stopping and talking to the manager before I left, but if they were consistent at making proper food handling mandatory, I would not have witnessed this.  Hopefully the management staff reads this and takes the time to ensure all food handlers understand the importance of food safety, and the potential consequences of substandard practices.Watch the meat and poultry handling here carefully; food poisoning is a pain in the butt to deal with.Other than that, Ive never had a problem with the store.

The food was fresh and good ( I got the salad bar) and price was comparable. The employees were a disappointment though. No one spoke a word to me the whole time I was in the store except when the cashier told me the price.

Review №77

I like the selections and variety. The meat and seafood selections are always fantastic! The Bakery items always look great. The prices overall are fair for a specialty store and the employees are helpful and pleasant. The only reason I didnt rate it a 5 star is the deli. The selections sometimes look average or stale and the area behind the counter looks dirty. I rarely buy the pre-cooked foods because they look over done. I still buy produce from Publix.

Review №81

Went there yesterday for fish. The tuna was from Thailand so did not want to buy it, but the salmon was US wild caught. We bought it and served it to dinner guests. It was the worst quality or was it just too old? In any case, a great disappointment and an embarrassment in front of guests. The cheese is very expensive and Trader Joes has a better selection and lower prices. As others have noted, the organic selection is meager. Will not shop here again...They followed up suggesting that I call. I did and the customer service person just wanted to get rid of me with as little fuss and money as possible. She sounded like a recording. Confirmed my opinion.

I was told to wear a papermask. Viruses are 0.1µ, papermasks work with particales at >0.3µ (i.e. bacteria) and cloths do pretty no filtering. These masks are a petri dishes for growing bacteria and virus just under someones nose when worn for extended periods > 30 minutes.It is unbelievable how you put your associates life and your customers health at risk by your selfish, ignorant and senseless policies. Very very unfortunate.

Fresh Market has an incredible selection of fresh beef, poultry and seafood. They offer ground meats and pre-made gourmet burgers at the butcher counter.For those days you dont feel like shopping for much and dont feel like cooking; then this deli offers a great peace of mind for those occasions.The deli offers a very broad assortment of hot and cold pasta salads, hot entrees, sandwiches, and fresh sushi prepared there daily.You must go and experience it for yourself and see how much more they have to offer, such as natural foods and wonderful selection of beer and wine. They are a little pricey, however, well worth in my opinion based on quality of everything they have to offer anyone they would shop at their establishment.

I generally love the fresh market but this location has some very poor management. i have been in here a few times when i am on this side of town and i have never once been happy with my visit. i went here Saturday the 20th and it will be the last time i enter this location. not a single person in the deli or meat department washed their hands and i saw several people using the same gloves, handling different kinds of meats. when i asked an employee why they used the same gloves they told me management limited the amount of gloves they get!!! This is a dangerous place, if they wont get their employees gloves what other safety things are they skimping on?!
