This market is an absolute gem! We rode our bikes over from our hotel and were so glad we did. If you are looking for gluten-free options, this place is a goldmine--they have a massive selection including donuts, bread, muffins, pies, crackers, graham crackers, candy, and even pre-made dinners. Best of all, they clearly label the shelves with gluten-free stickers, making it incredibly easy to navigate. The staff here is also fantastic, attentive, and highly observant. While I was browsing one of the gluten-free sections, a staff member noticed, let me know there were even more options, and personally showed me where everything else was located. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

It's a nice neighborhood grocery with local produce and non local also. The apples and sweet corn were good deals ($3.99 for 5 ears of corn) and a 3 lb bag of gala apples for $1.99. Bathrooms at front and the store is clean. I enjoyed seeing what they sell here that's unique to New Buffalo MI. Fresh produce sold and I liked the sale on sweet corn before the season ends like this week kind of ... Fudge from Mackinac Island. And windmill almond cookies... nostalgia... nice staff. read more

See all

Much better than any small town grocery needs to be with prices that are reasonable for a tourist town. Great selection of wine and deli goods. Human cashiers who are pleasant without scripted idiotic statements. The tiny parking lot is not a place to trust that an antique Audi I just had repainted won't get a door ding. All the other customers were my age. read more

Barneys Market - a bottle of wine on a table - Grocery Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Barney's Market provides great organic food options. This would be a five star recommendation but would have preferred organic, pasture raised eggs. read more

Loved this place very cute friendly people. Met an extremely friendly drunk woman there. Not like ours in Illinois. You know the kind. The screaming banshees that remind you of the cat lady on simpsons. Well anyway the deals were good as well and everything was fresh. Cute store read more

New Buffalo's best grocery store. With NB's smaller population, this grocery store has EVERYTHING you need. Lots of healthy options as well. A clean and organized store with amazing staff deserves a positive review. read more

This place must be for tourists only because the prices are unreal. So expensive. Cashiers are creepy too.

Good selection for most tastes; great pleasant staff, too. Parking is a bit of a mess, and vacationing visitors are sometimes unpleasant. This institution serves hordes of people throughout the summer. It's best to come early in the day. read more

The presence of a prime grocery is dependent upon enough traffic to make it financially feasible. Barney's lies near such a nexus, a short car ride from the first I-94 exit in southwestern lower Michigan, close to a bustling pleasure boat harbor, and along the Red Arrow Highway, artery to resorts and vacation properties galore. The north entry to Barney's is where you'll find most of the parking. It looks like a typical old grocery store, but inside you'll find many varieties of deliciousness. For Therese H., there's a pretty good gluten-free selection. And for most vacationers, you'll enjoy the fact that the south portion of the store is where you'll find the alcohol, with a fine selection of beer, wine, and liquor. You also can enter this part by the south entry off the sidewalk. By early July, Covid-19 didn't seem to be slowing down operations too much during our visit. Staff wore masks. Thanks, Barney's, during a couple different summer stays, we have enjoyed shopping here. read more

Barneys is a Great place to buy most anything you need! The staff is excellent and the products a very resonable. People who live here, like me know the complete staff from Deli to Meats and groceries! I consider them all my friends. Now people from different states who have summer homes here just dont get the lay back resort atmosphere. If you have a problem here they fix it no questions asked. I hope you shop here and put your recipet in the big box. They support our local school along with the fantastic people of the Pokagon Indians. Jim Dunn read more

In the summer it is packed,that is not there fault tho. Their food is WAY overpriced and staff are rude most of the time.

The owner of this place is a crook and takes advantage of being the only grocery store in town. The items are 3-4x the cost they are at any other grocery store. We make a purposeful effort to avoid giving them our money. It is incredibly dishonest and just slimy. Get your food before you come into town. I am waiting for the day that someone opens another grocery store in town and puts this thief out of business. read more

I ordered a dash and dine turkey sub sandwich for $9.99 thinking for that price I was getting a good sub. I would like to say it was not worth making. save your money and go to subway terrible read more

Small town market. You will not be disappointed Smaller than the jewel size markets. This means that there will be a slightly smaller selection than you might be used to. This for us was not a problem. Nice deli selection Great fresh meats selection. Great alcohol selection. This was a surprise coming from Pennsylvania as we have very limited availability in grocery stores and definitely zero hard alcohol. I wish the produce selection was a little better but overall a great market read more

Like the staff, happy with the wide selection, appreciate the organized shelves and clean store but what is with the prices? They are so high!!! They never have adjusted back down to more tolerable levels since the pandemic ended like other stores. In fact - they seem to have risen! read more

Great meat department Good produce Expensive, pay for "resort" area convenience Good attached liquor store with local offerings and more Go elsewhere for Staples but a great asset for this area read more

Incredible selection of quality, well, everything! For those staying in the New Buffalo southern west side of Michigan, this store does not disappoint. A bit pricey, and, I can't compare prices in this area (because I'm new and just got here). I figured it was a Fresh Market upscale and in a tourist area kinda thing. Ya get what you pay for. Will definitely shop here anytime I return. read more

When we are travelling, we love to check out local grocery stores to see what beers they have and other fun grocery items that may be different than our usual circuit. Well, this place for sure has the beer and wine! I loved that it's a two part store- a beer/wine section with a ramp into the regular grocery area. It allowed for a big inventory of grocery and booze. Win-win! They sell a lot of individual bottoms to do a make-your-own 6 pack, which we ended up doing. The only downers to this is there's no discount for buying 6, AND there's that Michigan 10 cent bottle deposit. The bottles are all individually priced so this does not sell at a set rate. I was impressed with the grocery side, complete with a butcher area, frozen section, craft soda, etc. etc. I perused here quickly but everything looked great. It's nice too that you can shop in the grocery side but check out on the beer side (not sure if that rule is reversible). This place is definitely worth a stop in, especially for wine and beer! read more

I've been coming here on and off for 17 years--and really like this place. It's not perfect, but on the whole the staff are pretty good, and considering they have to deal with some of Chicago's superior attitudes, quite restrained. I also like how they hire people with developmental disabilities--something you don't see often enough. The steaks are great--also the Amish chicken--. And the prices are not so bad as many say--considering the quality of what you are getting. I'll take Barneys over Whole Foods any day. read more

Barneys is a great grocery store for the vacation towns around it. Conveniently located right off Red Arrowhead Highway with plenty of parking. The store is a little crammed, but it has pretty much anything you would need for a getaway to Berrien County, including bundles of firewood. We stocked up with groceries and lots of beer here the first day we arrived. Their beer section is pretty large and you can buy individual bottles if you like rather than a whole sixer. The meat counter sucked us in and we impulsed bought three delicious kebobs which we grilled later that evening. As mentioned before, it can get a bit crowded in here so come early or come prepared to throw some 'bows. just kidding, just come mentally prepared to deal with crowds in tight spaces. read more

Not the most helpful staff upon calling to ask about their beer selection. Decided to make the drive from Chicago anyways not knowing for sure if they had the Shorts Brewery Beer style I was looking for. They did not have exactly what I was looking for but another great option in this beers place. None of the employees seemed very helpful and the liquor guy kept bumping into me with his cart (5 times!) Way overcrowded!!! Kinda like a Whole Foods I guess you might say... read more

An excellent market in a tourist town. I have a penchant for independent small town grocery markets....family owned and service orientated. A local grocery market can tell a tale of a neighborhood like no other. Not too many places you can order "Kick Ass" compression fried chicken served in sealed foiled bags... moist, tender and seasoned to perfection. Then, taste test while you shop the beer and wine cooler! "Miss Manners" would not approve the etiquette! Extra napkins please. The butcher counter offers pre cooked 12-16 oz. portions of medium rare perfectly seasoned slices of Prime Rib. For those of us who opt for a single slice "for you and me", and prefer not to buy a 5-6 pound roast and drive our cholesterol levels to extinction, this is a superior option! We were impressed with the options here. Too bad it's 100 miles from my front door. 5 stars for the Market 4 stars overall for the cattle prod checkout process. Some patrons view this as "Stand my Ground" while the checkout process exceeds your actual shopping time. I like this place but timing is everything. Tell me something new! read more

Two years later, they are still catering to that Chicago yuppie, although they should really have some knowledgeable staffers on the floor instead of the pre-renovation oldies but goodies. We love loyal employees, however let's try to be helpful. When I asked someone who was unloading wine onto the racks, "can I ask you a question about the wines", he abruptly said "I don't know anything about them." Without an offer to find someone, I bravely selected my own and made a mental note to bring my cheat sheet next time. They have expanded their parking lot to accommodate all the traffic, but it remains a snarl on Saturdays about 3pm. Shop early! read more

i went there yesterday to return cans and bottles. The person taking them acted like i was trying to rob the place. She examined about 20 of 30, seeming eager to find one that wasn't redeemable. She didn't. Then she told me that next time i had to rinse them. Then handed me the box i brought them in like it was a dead rat. i have shopped there for years and always treat the staff with kindness and respect. She knew me. Three bucks means nothing to me. i just don't like throwing money away. i understand they have people who gather cans and deposits to eat, but i don't act or look like one of them. A little basic respect is in order. read more

Love this place!! Wish we could bring it home with us! So much variety in every department! The condiment isle was the bomb! Make sure you visit the bakery and their amazing butcher counter! The brats and bacon we bought made up some of our favorite meals. In fact, my family said next time we visit New Buffalo they'd rather we buy from the butcher counter and just cook at home because it was so good. Don't miss out on their huge liquor department. So much to look from beer to whiskey, to Michigan wines. The lines move slow here so you must be patient but we didn't mind because their products were top notch. Come build a store in our neighborhood, please! read more

For the only grocery in the downtown area, Barneys is great. Does it have all your favorites... probably not, but it comes close with great alternatives. Is it the cheapest, nope. There are cheaper alternatives closer to the highway. But in a pinch Barneys is great. I'm super picky about veggies / fruit and Barneys always has a decent selection. Is it grade A, probably not. But I only need the veggies & fruit to stay for at least 4 days. So far so good. They also have a good gluten free selection for my honey. read more

This place kind of reminds me of Mariano's -- maybe it was the white shirt blue tie/pants theme or the friendly service, or maybe I just missed being away from Illinois for a few days In either case, place saved us driving 20-minutes to the closest Walmart. read more

Perfect little vacation town store! All the essentials, plus fancy pieces for special occasions. read more

Barneys Market - a car parked in front of the store - Grocery Near Me - New Buffalo, Michigan

Barneys has a great selection for such a quaint store. There produce, meat and deli sections are great. Funny even though it seems like a smaller store I can always find my favorite tea here even when it's hot or miss at home (so I stock up here). The cashiers are super quick and very courteous. read more

There was 2 people shopping at Barney's not wearing a mask although it says wear a mask on the door but its not enforced. if you cant enforce a mandate I cant shop there. read more

I know I'm a tourist in a tourist town but holy goodness were some of the prices steep. (and this is coming from the lady who lives in Chicago and is used to Whole Foods prices) The market itself had everything we needed for our weekend and it is clean and cute! read more

Best grocery store in the area. They carry a lot of craft beers. Good wine and great thick cut steaks. Lots of cheeses. Sometimes they are out of brie but I still love this place. No need to pack food from Chicago on the way up. They have everything you would need. Good people too. Easy parking. read more

Helpful staff, everything you need, slightly pricy (likely related to the locale and the clientele, and the lack-of-chain-ness) but very high quality products. The fresh veggies were superb. read more

Great beer selection, friendly staff... have driven to there from chicago to stock up on hard to find Michigan brews

The service staff here just bum rushed my 3 yr old daughter and I out the door and refused to sell me a half gallon of lactose milk that I need to put her to sleep claiming they close at 8. It's a Monday and there were still people checking out so I said cmon I only need milk. Their security screamed "sir we are closed" and I looked at my phone and then held it up for him to see the time read 7:54. Again he screamed we're closed and approached me aggressively. I'm sure he was threatened by my 3year old daughter. Most of my stay in New Buffalo has been great but this was unprofessional and ridiculous. I understand this is a tourist town but that business hasn't started back up yet so you would think they would accommodate I'm shaking still that this poor excuse for a man would come at my child and I in such a manor. Despicable Barney's, despicable!!!!!!!! read more

Great place! A NICE amount of vegetarian and vegan products is a HUGE PLUS in my book!! Super clean, the cashiers are constantly wiping down the conveyor belts at the registers and everything is nicely organized. The layout is a bit awkward and it can become congested during the busy seasons but other than that I was extremely happy with the craft beer and food selections. read more

Really good market with nice produce and good meat selection when stocked. Pretty good alcohol selection and nice other specialty items like cheeses, dips, and snacks. Not sure if there is another store like it in the area. Reasonable prices read more

I can't believe we were caught off guard, but while we were visiting my cousin in LaPorte we realized we only had like 12 beers for a house full of people on a Sunday afternoon and there are seemingly no liquor stores open on Sundays in Indiana for some reason. Our only option was to drive 30 minutes to New Buffalo if we wanted to get our drink on - and we certainly did want to do that. I don't know who Barney is (or was) but I imagine he was a guy who liked very cold beer because Barney's Market gets that beer as close to absolute zero as humanly possible - it is almost impossibly cold; magnificently frigid. Two twelvers of Coronas set us back like $35 but it's almost like they were doing us a favor by being open on a Sunday afternoon. read more

This is our go to market in Union Pier, MI. They have a good beer selection and decent wine selection.

Surprisingly good grocery store for such a small town. They have a lot of gourmet items and also gluten-free items. Some very unusual foods, too. The place was crawling with yuppies. It was a bit crowded, but a great find. read more
