They had slices of pizza they warmed up for the kids and meat platters with fried chicken or pulled pork along with several slides to choose from. The portions were large as well.

You can also go upstairs to eat and it wasn't crowded with lots of tables.

The store itself is fantastic. They have so many products. Everything is always in stock and the…read morefresh foods are fresh. The customer service really needs some work. There are staff who do the shopping for online customers with those giant cards that are always in the way and the staff are incredibly rude. They don't make eye contact they don't ask you to please excuse me they are rude or absolutely ignore you completely. The people who choose to do their own shopping, deserve a nice staff and a friendly shopping experience. I constantly do the survey from the receipts explaining how terrible their customer service services. Now the bakery. They never the bread area and those of us who don't know how to slice bread well get it sliced. Or if there is very limited staff in the bakery, they choose to not make eye contact and ignore you. Again the store is great of finding products and the ease of self checkout is wonderful, it's the customer service that is lacking completely.

Grab your shopping cart and go inside. This is a large grocery store with about everything you want or need. The aisles are clearly marked with signage hanging from the ceiling.

Absolute chaos trying to pick up online ordered Easter dinner. One young woman at the pickup table…read moreand literally 75 to 100 people in a line going out the door, to pickup their orders. It was so unorganized, people getting irritated and shoppers unable to move around the store because of the winding line out the door. Maybe next year have 2 or 3 people taking names for pickup. Also, I could have just walked in and got my ham and 2 sides right from deli without having to stand in line for 45 minutes. Do better Fresh Market!

Inside it is a standard Aldi but they do have the Aldi finds (the aisle of shame!) which you cannot find at every Aldi. My experience with their produce and meats has been very good; I have bought their hamburgers several times and found them to be excellent in quality. Checkout is pretty quick; there are no self-scan registers in this store (that would be nice) but I have never waited in line more than a few minutes. Given its location, the excellent prices, and that aisle of shame, I will be here often.

Market Square is a public space in the downtown area with a variety of shops and restaurants…read moresurrounding it. It was recently renovated just in time for the NFL Draft to allow more accessibility and better space for events. In the public area, there are some tables and chairs to sit and enjoy the area. They also seem to plan to have a lot more semi-permenant attractions in the space. Currently their is a roller rink (which is surprisingly affordably priced) . It has historically been home to the Holiday Market (which was moved into the theater area this year because of the construction). I hope the market does move back because Market Square was definitely the better space for it. There is plenty of parking nearby in garages, surface lots and street parking. The one downside is that it is really tough to drive through, especially with the way the renovated it. Drivers seem to be stopping to take in the new look or don't understand directional signage so there is often traffic backups.

Another stop on our Strip District Food Tour! Labad's…read moremimics of gas station convenience store and an ethnic grocery store combined. Shelves are lined with canned goods, fresh ingredients stored in baskets to buy by the pound, and for some reason branded tourist soap bars. For the Food Tour, we were treated to the fresh hummus and pita. The hummus was very fresh - the owner even discussed how he made it over the last evening, but the pita was extremely dry and flavorless. He was clearly a true chef and creates amazing cuisines. So it is very disappointing that the store has to morph into a touristy shop. The hookah and culture items make sense somewhat, but the Harry Potter and Star Wars themed soap bars just seem like a gimmick that takes away from the true essence of the store. If you like hummus, you should definitely grab a container of the fresh made. But honestly, I doubt many people stop here based on the appearance.

I had purchased some elsewhere recently, but felt compelled to stop in to see Labad's selection. The store ambiance is welcoming, and the man who assisted me was kind and calm when he showed me several types of halva. I chose the Lebanon Valley Halawa Plain. As soon as I got home, I tried a small piece. Oh, my gosh!! I couldn't believe how much better it tastes than any other brand I have tried. What a wonderful flavor and texture! Just perfect. I highly recommend Labad's.
