Central Market maintained their five star status with me. My family remembered, I lived closed by here so, they asked me to pick up a Grandmother's Sheet Cake with Pecans. I really love my family so, I went days before Thanksgiving. Smh. Here's what went down. All the Central Market lovers were there buying their dinner, getting their groceries and preparing for Thanksgiving! Parking was packed but, there were several Parking spaces available!? It had rained the night before so,an Employee was cleaning up the water. The decor was so festive. The desserts are pretty easy to find but you have to carefully look. I was glad I was able to find it without having to ask. However, then had all hands on deck. I was able to check out right away. I was the only one in line! The Cashier was friendly and told me the restaurant part was closed down to prepare for Thanksgiving Meals. I was Thankful to get a Parking Spot, find my affordable dessert and check out quickly. read more

I have been coming to Central Market just by myself, with my immediate family, or with my boyfriend for a couple of years now. I have generally had pleasant experiences here until today. Since starting graduate school this past August, I have been frequently visiting Central Market to utilize the free WiFi, to purchase pre-made foods, and to sit upstairs to complete schoolwork. This has been convenient for me since I struggle to concentrate alone at home or at a library since it gets way too quiet and understimulating. My campus is also a bit out of the way, but Central Market is super close by from where I live. However, today, my boyfriend and I were quietly studying upstairs at the seating area until we were approached by an employee or manager (??) named Cody. He told us that backpacks were not allowed in the store because of theft. I asked him when this policy was implemented, and Cody replied by saying that this has always been the case??? I have never been told this before- I carry a backpack as a student with my journal, laptop, headphones, etc. My boyfriend does the same thing with his backpack. I even told my mom this evening about the backpack policy and she was just as confused- she has lived in Fort Worth and has gone to Central Market for longer than I have been alive. I figured that this policy could have been implemented due to a potential increase in petty theft caused by the Arlington Heights high school students, but still, there was no sign at the entrance regarding this policy, ever, and nothing on the Central Market website indicated this rule either. This seemed like bs. If you are going to enforce a rule, make sure all employees enforce it consistently all the time and make sure shoppers know it. Do not just approach customers, pretending that a policy has always been a thing when it hasn't been, telling them to leave their backpacks outside (it was raining that day). Make sure the employees at the front behind the desk catch backpack carriers. This policy was carried out in a highly unprofessional manner. I don't even know if a large tote bag is allowed at this point because I need to carry my laptop in to do schoolwork. I don't even mind having my backpack searched at this point- I have nothing to hide. I don't just hang around the store for schoolwork, I always purchase things while there. This whole ordeal was super inconvenient to deal with, and I don't want to return here again, as disappointing as it is. read more

Haven't eaten at their deli in quite awhile. A friend wanted to meet for lunch, and this is the place we chose. Ordered a "Build Your Own" sandwich (sourdough and lemon roasted chicken with chipotle sauce). Utterly delicious! The weather was so cool and beautiful, we ate outside on their patio. Everything looked clean and maintained. In addition, the service was very guest-oriented. What an incredible experience. Will come back again. read more

Never thought I would come across Not Fried Chicken Ice Cream during my visit. It was delicious! For almost $5 it's worth trying once for the experience. I love the ambiance, tropical fruit and mushroom selection. The staff is friendly and the store is organized. read more

This is THE grocery store in the Fort! It's truly the BEST in every department: quality of produce, quality of meats, quality of seafood, quality of wine and beer selection, quality of coffee selection, quality of breads, quality of cheeses, quality of in-house made hot items... if you haven't caught the trend it's just PURE QUALITY everywhere! Plus, you can try anything in the store. All you have to do is ask an employee and they will happily get you a sample. It's unbelievable! Which takes me to the people that work here, they are just the BEST too. They wear proud smiles with helpful hearts. Finally, the layout of this grocery store is one of my favorites. It just flows so well. It makes your shopping experience feel like a little circuit track. I love slowly zooming through it. :D ___________ RANDOM FUN FACT: I actually take friends and family here when they come visit from out of state. Now, I don't know if I'm just surrounded by a bunch of grocery store nerds like myself but it consistently ranks as one of their top moments of the trip haha. ;D read more

Enjoyed my lunch on the patio with a friend after perusing the options inside. She enjoyed her salad and my wrap was ok. Great selection of food. Spring patio season makes it a great non restaurant option to consider! Helpful staff always. Love this gem in town! read more

Disappointed this morning FLYS FLYS FLYS IN THE BREAD PUDDING, in the GRITS, workers standing around like they didn't see them made it even worse. I told the girl serving up the breakfast and she wasn't very interested or concerned. Very nonchalant Busy Sunday as usual. Nice location, always friendly workers. Someone is always ready to help. I would recommend this location for your home needs. Please improve the quality of caring for the food you guys serve. It's not cheap. Great job otherwise. read more

I LOVE Central Market!! No matter what time you go.. you will always find something new to try!!

I have never been so excited to go grocery shopping! I love this place ever since moving to Fort Worth. The lay out is like an IKEA but for groceries. They have great quality control from the produce to the meat and cheese. I have been trying out new products from around the world. It's a bit pricey but you can find fancy stuff and regular stuff. I fin the produce is great for the price. If you know how to shop it's worth it. I recently tried the prepared food and coffee area and it's so good I've been going more often just for a quick meal! Service is always amazing and the ambiance overall makes me keep coming back for more! read more

Met a friend to join in on Central Markets 30th anniversary celebration. What a well organized stroll. Unfortunately we missed the chance to get tickets as they sold out quick! So we didn't score the reusable shopping bag, $10 coupon, a private upstairs event & other goodies that they gave away with the tickets. However anyone coming into the store could enjoy the stroll so we jumped right in. Store was organized and well stocked as always. The staff were very engaging, knowledgeable of the product or wine that they were sampling. It was visible they were well prepared for the influx of shoppers coming in for the festivities. Samples at each turn in the store. A lot of fun signs and set ups just for the 30th celebration. Fun things like "where were you in this year.." or "write your favorite Central Market memory/food" We enjoyed many samples as we made our way around. Although a bit more crowded than usual it never felt over packed or overwhelming. Also noticed the upgraded deck/patio on the way out. Will definitely be back when it cools down to enjoy it. read more

Citlalli and Ary were super helpful! Always love central market! The pistachio gelato is stunning!!!

I love EVERYTHING about central market. The employees are so friendly and I never feel bad about overspending because WHAT budget?! I'm literally in heaven on earth when I'm here. I had my 1st not so pleasant experience at the wine bar. I walked up to look at the non alcoholic spirits and made a comment to the blonde lady sitting behind the counter and she kept eating her snack and didn't even acknowledge me. Looked right through me like I was invisible so I just turned and walked off. No way was I going to let that ruin my shopping trip. I got all my goodies I went specifically for and then some. Look forward to my next grocery haul. read more

Past time for an update. Central Market is my favorite grocery store in the metroplex. My one and only complaint (that doesn't really even count) is that it gets so crowded, but duh, everyone loves it here. It's not exactly the biggest store so it fills up quickly. I always want to leisurely stroll each aisle, so I don't come during peak traffic! Lunchtime can be especially busy because of the cafe and fresh chef-prepared food section, where anyone can find a delicious version of something they love to eat. During my last dine-in visit, I had delicious tomato bisque, this Mediterranean salad that I loooove made with salami, cheese, and peppers, a bag of Central Market waffle-cut potato chips, and a bottle of Tempranillo Blanco from the refrigerated drink section. Jon had an enormous quesadilla, cilantro lime rice, cream of mushroom soup, and some canned beer. All reasonably priced and it's so fun to put your own lunch together. We ate outside on the patio because the weather was fair, which we all know is rare. After lunch we strolled through the market because it wasn't crowded. We could spend forever browsing produce but I'm always especially in awe of the cheese department and bakery. There are just so many beautiful cheeses and this insane variety of gorgeous breads and pastries. Central Market focuses on featuring local goods and I love how they really lean into the holidays and celebrations of so many different cultures. I always learn something new, like recently I learned what Colomba di Pasqua is (it's a sweet Italian traditional Easter bread). The floral department is also a must-see every visit. It smells incredible and the flowers are stunning. They have some really lovely affordable bouquets and you can also put your own arrangements together, they sell plenty of flowers by the stem. read more

Catering for 50 was seamless, food delicious, generous portions, well presented! WONDERFUL!! read more

So much more selection of quality meats, fruits and vegetables than the average DFW grocery. Unique items in dry goods similar to a Whole Foods selection. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices on nice thick cuts of prime meats. Prime NY Strips were on sale at excellent pricing (comparatively) and while non-sale items may have been slightly more than average, the cuts and quality did appear to be superior to Kroger & Tom Thumb with now shortage of Prime graded beef. read more

Store is very organized and clean. They had an item I couldn't find anywhere else. Saved my recipe!

I went yesterday and the hatch chili event was unbelievable. Instead of chestnuts roasting on an open fire, it was hatch chilis tumbling over the grill! Smoke was right on! No where but Central Market. read more

The worst lobster Mac and cheese ever tried . My Dad paid $50.00 for 2 small containers. It tasted like bad catfish. I'll never buy another item from this company. read more

Central Market - Grocery Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Wow, I was blown away by the meat counter and seafood counter. The smells at both were of fresh seafood and meat and no bleach smell that is typical of most grocery stores. The selection of imported food items was also remarkable. Best I have seen since I lived in Manhattan and I have been all over the US. This place is dangerous because there are too many yummy temptations and prices are expensive too. I picked up a bunch of hard to find delicious cookies, filet mignon and some veggies, and dairy. Nice selection of dairy products. The only section I was disappointed in was the fruits and vegetables. There was a large selection but I would rather have a hyper local fresh section than a bunch of stuff from far away that doesn't look fresh. read more

I really just want to give a shout out to ANA IN BAKERY!!!!! I swear I miss her when she's not working!!! She's the sweetest and her attitude is just amazing!

I love this place! They have a huge selection of fresh produce, fresh meat and fish, a soup bar, a sandwich bar, extensive wine selection, great weekly specials, and they have live entertainment on the weekends! read more

5 stars for the store bc I LOVE it! 3 stars for their cafeteria area. There are so many things with horrible ingredients: caramel color, canola oil, bioengineered food ingredient( what is that!!!?). We came here specifically for lunch and ended up getting nothing bc we couldn't find anything with clean ingredients. It's very unfortunate that you can't trust a store like central market to make your food with quality ingredients especially for the price point! We still got some ice cream while we were there. If there is nothing healthy to eat you might as well indulge in ice cream!! It was way way too sweet however! We got the s'mores one. Their lemon cookie one is super good though. read more

HATCH CHILI SEASON, and the items in certain areas are in full force with Hatch Chilis right now. Walk into produce and they have a big area of fresh hatch peppers, of which we grabbed a handful. The fresh bread, they had a dozen or so different breads and desserts with hatch peppers in them. Hatch Chili Sourdough bread, Hatch Chili Lemon Cake, Hatch Chili Cookies, the list goes on. Around the corner, Hatch Chili hot recipes and cheeses, we tried some Hatch Chili Sushi, was really good!!! Still a great place to frequent, 90% of the items are ala carte, very little in mad produced packaging like at the normal HEB stores. read more

I don't know what has happened to the employees at this location but the guy in the Meat Dept was not friendly, the lady in the bakery is not friendly and the cashiers are not friendly often. Most often have to sack your own groceries. Employees act miserable. read more

Went to the meat deli tonight to get some sliced luncheon meat. There was a male employee with black/dark hair talking to some lady/employee also behind the deli. It was 8:30 pm, there was no one else waiting to be served. I kept looking at the guy and not once did he say anything to me or look up to acknowledge me. I just stood there like a bump on a long for a good 2-3 minutes. I left. I'll get my groceries at Whole Foods where I know they will help me. read more

Great food! Awesome delicious deli selection of food! Always packed! Great service and the ambiance is amazing! Central market does a great job with stocking fresh produce and other items too. They have some live music on weekends too! 4 star because of the restrooms and the inside sitting area is dirty. read more

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! The food on the table plays an important part. There were multiple recommendations to try their holiday meal. Let me tell you...those folks were absolutely right! It's a good idea to order your holiday meal ahead of time. Central Market won't take any other orders when it gets closer to Thanksgiving, especially the day before and on Thanksgiving. I had the traditional turkey meal, which serves about 6-8 people. The turkey came with a disposable foil roasting pan. We heated the turkey in the oven with the provided roasting bag for approximately 2.5 hours. The turkey was super juicy with crispy skin. It was delicious with a little dab of cranberry sauce as well. One of my favorite sides was the cornbread dressing. It was crumbly and soft; definitely well-seasoned and not dry whatsoever. The whipped potatoes aka mash potatoes and gravy was spot on. I loved the green beans that kept the meal balanced. The brioche rolls complimented the meal, but was not spectacular. Don't forget to get pie! The turkey meal doesn't come with this. I had pumpkin pie, which turned out great! In terms of pickup, you schedule a time once you finalize your order. I made the mistake of going into the store to pickup my meal. Apparently, the holiday meal line is at the cafe entrance of Central Market. Overall, I'm impressed with the service and food. I'm making this an annual thing. read more

This place is amazing. It is not cheap and I used to be able to get El Milagro corn tortillas Here. I like El Milagro because it's corn water and lime without all the other chemicals but not anymore. I do like shopping here occasionally not a lot because it's very expensive. I love their breads. Fresh! It's worth buying the homemade bread. Just need to walk through this place and see what they have . Love the loose bins on teas, spices and foods. Clean and neat store read more

An employee asked what I was looking for and jokingly said "a gift for my neighbors, they are watching my dog". He picked this out and said it's pretty popular. And look how cute the label is! I love shopping here. Great experience every time read more

Omg the greatest high-end bougie market ive ever been in. I was trying to put together the greatest Italian dinner ever and CM had all the goodies i needed.

Central Market has it all! Gourmet food options are abound, and I never leave this place without a ton of tasty food stuffs. Besides being a high end grocery store, they have a great cafe and hot bar that you can grab a quick meal. I especially like their premade burger options in the meat section. If you've never been to CM before, be prepared to have your mind blown! read more

I love hatch chili season and Central Market does too! Their 2022 Hatchstock has more food units prepared with hatch chilies than you can fathom. They kicked the season off on a Friday evening with tastings of many - if not all - of these items. The hatch stuffed mushrooms and fajita meat were my favorites. That meat melted in my mouth. I'm a little disappointed that I haven't been able to get any of the hatch Mac & cheese to go. I'll drop by and get the "not today " from a CM foodie. If you'd like the summer hatch sushi roll I recommend dropping by during the lunch hour as they are usually gone by dinner. The hatch pecan toffee is tasty as are the hatch pistachios. Well done Central Market! Well done! read more

I love this place, I just wish they were closer... well maybe them being further saves me money, anyway they always have top notch food products, meats, cheeses and all sorts of items, everytime I do a big dinner I always shop there for the items, this is a must stop for shopping read more

We love CM. So, we had high expectations. But, their Thanksgiving order was awful! Turkey and dressing were dry, green beans were not cooked. Even the pie was disappointing. Maybe they cook different when making large orders. We threw most of it out! We will NOT order Thanksgiving again from them. We will still order lots of other items. read more

So I was driving down I-30 and decided I wanted to buy bacon and juice so I took the Hulen exit. Why look, a Central Market came into view. I turned in, parked and went in to grab my juice and bacon. So...is it just me or is this store set up in some kind of maze. If it is just me, please don't tell me. While wondering around searching for bacon (never found it) I discovered a bread shop and a cheese shop. A bakery filled with beautiful treats. And macarons! I left the store with my purchase that included coffee flavored macarons, strawberry macarons, mini cream puffs and blueberry green tea. No bacon though. Does Central Market sell bacon? Next time I go maybe I'll use Google maps or Apple Maps to navigate the aisles. read more
