I can't believe that I am the first person to write a review of this place but I will do my best…read more I'm from California and had the pleasure of working in Tuskegee AL. When I asked where I should eat, lots of people told me to go to the Yellow Store. Ok cool so I ask for directions and head out looking for this place. Drove by it a number of times until I stopped and asked an old timer on the road, "hey do you know where the Yellow Store is?" He points me back to the end of the road where I just came from... So I finally see this dingy old building that has some yellow painted walls, but the sign above says Village Mart. I go inside and ask, is this the Yellow Store? They tell me that that's what people call it but its really the Village Mart. OMG that was so funny! This is really a small town and this kind of stuff is just charming. So the Village Mart is a small convenience store that also cooks food in the back and has it in a glass case in the corner. They have all the standards like whiting, catfish and fried chicken. They also had fried okra, red beans, mean greens, yams, etc... Their corn bread is made on the grill so resembles a pancake. I guess they have no oven. Had the fried chicken, fried okra, mac n cheese and red beans with white bread. It was the bomb and classic soul food. What I like about soul food is the combination of various flavors that come together as you eat everything. So the red beans and white bread are perfect compliments to the fried foods making it a sweet symphony of flavors. So if you ever find yourself in Tuskegee, you gotta stop at the Yellow Store for a bite to eat. Get there early or all the good stuff will be gone.

Let's talk about THE YELLOW STORE. Omg this is the pinnacle of Southern Cuisine. My first…read moreexperience with The Yellow Store was my freshman year when I attended The Tuskegee University. The Yellow Store was a hidden gem to us. I had two fried pork chops, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, a ho cake (hot water cornbread) and a drink all for like eight dollars. The food was OUTSTANDING. The service was good as well. As for Covid-19 guidelines, not all the workers wore masks but the ones who I had to encounter did. There were a bit of people inside , but the ones around me socially distanced themselves as much as they were able. As for sustainability, my food was in a styrofoam container with parchment paper covering my food and protecting my ho cake. I definitely recommend this small hole in the wall to anyone that happens to pass through or want to try some good food for the soul.

He loves them and I love getting them for his celebrations since he's not big into actual cake cake. Don't worry, he gets other nice gifts too but cookie cakes are just nostalgic for us. I've been using Publix a lot lately, and was in town for his OCS graduation at Fort Moore. I picked a Publix closest to my Airbnb which happened to be this location. On the date/time of our pick up after phoning an order in the previous week, no cookie cake order was ready in my name. I was disappointed but luckily the gentleman working at the bakery very quickly remedied the situation and made one up for me immediately. He then discounted it a few dollars which was kind of him. This won't be my sons home Publix but in a pinch it is nearby and I am very grateful for the exceptional same day service the bakery staff member provided to me. The cake was for the next afternoon and when we served it, it was delish as per the usual with Publix cookie cakes.

Employees are often chatting near the registers during shift changes, but I have not noticed duties being neglected or areas needing attention because of it. The self checkout stations are also a nice convenience when you're trying to get in and out quickly. They also have a huge variety of snacks and drinks for just about everyone. Whether you're craving something sweet, salty, hot, cold, healthier options, or pure gas station chaos in the form of roller grill food at midnight... there's probably something there you'll enjoy!
