I love sprouts so much it's my favorite grocery store I think ever. Their produce and meat is…read morealways so good. They have great specialty dairy and all of their non-perishables are top tier. As a gluten free person I know I can get a full cart of groceries here and not have to compromise. Some of my ALL TIME favorite Sprouts picks are: - Bizzy espresso roast cold brew - good culture full fat cottage cheese - bubbies pickles and sauerkraut - LIVE SODA SPICY CHERRY BERRY flavor!!! - sprouts dill pickle chips made with avocado oil - Kalona farms heavy cream - siggi's vanilla skyr yogurt - sprouts mayo (weirdly good) - lesser evil popcorn - groundwork coffee - rotten foods sour gummy cruncheez The staff are always nice and accommodating. Today I saw them have a group staff huddle on the floor which was cool. I hope they treat their employees right and pay them well!! Chris is super nice

I am an ALDI junkie. I have found that almost all of my weekly shopping can be done here, and they…read morehave fantastic prices. A lot of people have a hard time getting used to the way ALDI works; ALDI's model is based on German and European markets, where people tend to shop more often in smaller trips. So you aren't usually going to find produce that can be held over for lengthy amounts of time. That said, they are shopped enough that their produce is fresh and has a high turnover. Be sure to catch deals on seasonal produce, as they regularly have the best prices on watermelons in summer and pumpkins in fall. ALDI is great for trying new and "off-brand" products. They offer a wide range of specialty items including cheese and wine. I've found most to be better than average with much of it sourced in Europe. While they do offer name products, who doesn't love "generic" European wines and real milk chocolate at "chocolate flavored" prices? Be sure to bring a quarter in order to use a shopping cart. At checkout, you can purchase bags, use your own from home, or grab a box from a shelf or bin and recycle it later.

Be very careful when buying meat specials at Aldi. Yesterday their online ad had Boneless Chicken…read moreThigs listed for $1.99 per pound. I grabbed a pack at the meat counter but it was marked at $2.99 so when I got to the check ouit I pointed that our to the register man. He picked up his pphone and checked with someone in the back that told him only certain packages were marked with that price. My wife took that package back to the meat counter and picked up a different package but it also was marked at $2.99. The register man said he would go back and find the rigt kind of package. He did so and came back with a differetn type of package that was marked at $1.99. I found him helpful but I believed this is a very sneaky way of doing business. If you advertise them at $1.99 than all packages with tohose contents that are on the counter should be at that price.

Stopped by Smiley Brothers for lunch. Nice little restaurant with an old world vibe. Excellent wine…read morechoice, fresh cheese, dry aged ribeyes and fresh cut steaks. We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!

This ALDI location delivers very good value in groceries. The food (especially pantry items,…read moreprivate-labels, and everyday staples) offers strong bang for your buck. The basic store layout and checkout process are efficient, making it ideal for quick trips or budget-conscious shopping. I like I can get in and out fast. Usually all the customers are nice and just getting their list done. Produce is usually good. I like their protein bread choices. Good selection of cheese but not many skim or low fat choices. I like their low fat cottage cheese, sour cream and Greek yogurt. They have low sodium chicken and beef broth. I bring my own grocery bags in and I don't get a cart. I will overload if I get a cart. This location has self checkout. Not all locations have self checkout. Then usually 1 lane that is staffed. There are not many employees working there so if you are looking for higher service levels you might want to go somewhere else. The staff are usually nice. I always check their app before I go. It's a smaller grocery store so they don't carry nearly as much as a Whole Foods, Publix, Walmart, etc. For the price, it's a dependable option that ticks most boxes. It's the grocery store I visit most frequently.

This place is truly like no other in the area -- a true hidden gem among the shops of Alabaster…read more Out of the 10+ times I have gone since the store has opened, I have had beyond a pleasant experience each time. The staff are relatable and friendly and always greet you with a genuine smile. Iris, especially, has been particularly warm and hospitable. It's been a joy getting to talk to them each time I visit. The menu has a massive selection of drinks (and you can even customize your own!) and a respectable amount of pastries, each of which has been well worth my money. In the odd case that you don't like your first drink, you are sure to find one you love among the rest of the menu. My favorite fruit tea/lemonade so far is the Rainbow Road, while my favorite milk tea is hands-down the cotton candy. Whatever you like - sweet, bitter, spicy - they have it or are willing to adjust drinks to meet your desired sweetness, bitterness, etc. If you are in the area, you absolutely MUST visit this establishment. You won't regret it.

The vibe, the layout, the cleanliness, and inside is always perfect for real. Each and every server you have is always wonderful and nice too. Then this bowl I have actually ordered every single time over the years at this place and their other locations too, had been my favorite for real. I basically wish I could just have this for lunch or dinner every single day of my life. I am likely the only person ever that has them not add Nutella but use some honey instead. I may be the only person that doesn't like Nutella since almost everyone loves that flavor. That's the single only edit I ever make because all their flavors are super yummy over many years every single time.
