The Fresh Market

Not the best service but in and out quickly

Updated review. Previously, I thought the place was fine, like any other Fresh Market we've been to in other towns. They don't always have in-stock what online says they have in-stock, and instead, carry off-brand substitutes - something to keep in mind with curbside service. Nice layout, usually nice workers. This Fresh Market doesn't always sell fresh items as the name would indicate. Several items on the shelf were well past their "sell by" dates. Not "best by", but "sell by." At least a dozen rotisserie chickens they put out early in the morning were still sitting under the heat lamps at 6pm alongside chickens they put out around 5pm. They probably presume college kids won't be looking at the dates/times, and they're probably right. For everyone else, though, you may want to look twice. For the prices they charge, you'd think they'd do a better job in keeping with their namesake. Recently, I went in to buy two avocados among other things. They weren't individually/weight priced, which is a big no-no in retail produce. However, they were running a special where a bag of four were 2 for $10 (which should be $5 each bag, right?). So, if they were $5 for a bag of 4, wouldn't that mean they should be $1.25 each if NO OTHER PRICING is displayed? I even walked the cashier to the display of all the individual avocados and politely asked her to tell me the price for the individual avocados. She couldn't. She said the sale was only if you bought a bag of 4, and held to that. Rather than ask for a manager, I just let it go, paid $2.50 for each avocado because I was already there, and then was rewarded to find both were bad when we got home. Next time, manager, then police for trying to sell unpriced items. If you've ever worked/managed retail, you know it's a thing. As with most establishments in this town, once management starts to slip, things go downhill quickly and there is little incentive to stop the trend, or improve it. Most folks would agree there is a higher expectation from Fresh Market when factoring in the premium price of things. The question, then, is whether the premium price for sub-par high-end products is worth the convenience of the buying location. I'll probably still go here for items I can't find anywhere else, and are less likely to be out-of-date. But, for everything else, I'll drive a little longer and pay a little less for actual "fresh" food.

My husband bought the Valentine’s Day meal and we LOVED it! We got the filets and they were great quality. Even the directions that were enclosed were perfect! We did everything according to the directions and it was amazing! The steamed asparagus and the potatoes were the perfect accompaniment! Can’t thank you enough for this wonderful meal! The staff in our local Fresh Market are definitely the best!!

Excellente...

Very Good. I love it

The girl with the lip rings and dirty looking hair name Anika isn’t friendly at all she’s so rude and looks so dirty at the Tuscaloosa Alabama location probably won’t be back

More expensive than Whole Foods but I have to settle for The Fresh Market. Update: I am an avid and ongoing shopper of the Fresh Market. I have fallen in love with the exceptional customer service, friendly staff and fresh produce and seafood options. I want to highlight one Fresh Market team member “Justin” who always seems to know exactly where everything is. Not only does he tell you where to find your item but he physically guides you and put the item in your hand. “Is this the item you are looking for ma’am?” He is a pleasant and knowledgeable team member and that’s why I will continue to shop at Fresh Market. Thank you Justin for going above and beyond for your customers. You are sensational!
