Food Lion's Corporate and Store Management should be ashamed. The professionalism of some managers…read moreand employees is lacking. 1. Employees are often seen smoking and wandering around the front of the store wearing a store uniform. It looks sleazy and not becoming of a grocery store. 2. Recently, an older woman was seen sitting outside with her back against the store wall smoking a cigarette and wearing a store uniform. This gave the appearance of a homeless person one might expect to see in a large city. 3. Store management condones employees with bad language. The "f" word and other bad language should never be used by employees especially with customers nearby. 4. Management allows misplacement of signage and then argues with customers with insults telling customers to be more observant.

Nice store! It is definitely small. Try to go when there is not a special event going on. We went…read morewhen they had a town event going on. Let's just say, if you want to make a special charcuterie board, go here. So many options. We loved the options for pickles. They had nice produce when we were there as well. I have heard nothing but positive things about their meat. We hope to purchase some when we return. We ended up not purchasing anything. But, we definitely plan to come back when the town is not having a special event.

There's a little section of shelves with unique gift items. This is a not to miss shopping experience for those who like to shop small and help your local farmers!

I'm a fan of this Walmart Supercenter in Ashland. It's just around the corner from my hotel where I…read morestayed over the weekend. This Supercenter is smaller than I used to in Texas. But it has everything I needed and more. I have been looking for wheel cover all over the place (I'm not from this area). I felt so lucky to pick one from many selections on the shelf. I actually came here during Tropical Depression 16 on Saturday September 23. Right in the middle of my shopping trip, the rain started to pour. Non-stop for over an hour. I was glad there were no roof leaks at the Ashland Walmart Supercenter. I stayed for as long as I could, like shop till you drop. Employees were friendly and I had no issues (Asians are rarely seen in this part of town). If I stay in Ashland next time, I would come back for fruits to eat at hotel.

Like most Walmarts, the employees on the floor aren't very helpful or friendly. They just want to stock the shelves and mind their own business. It wasn't busy, so checkout was fast. That doesn't happen often, and the clerk at checkout was friendly.

We arrived shortly after 11 on a Monday and the business was steady. The cafe is situated behind a wine market and has indoor and outdoor dining. We were greeted shortly after being sat and my friend ordered a cappuccino which she enjoyed sipping on. On Monday's (at the time) they had a special were guests could build their own burgers or hot dogs (thus our being there). The topping list was pleasantly surprising and included some really unusual options (and I've seen a LOT of topping options). I got my hot dog with pimento cheese and hot pepper relish. My friend got hers with curtido kraut and sriracha mayo. The curtido kraut had a wonderful latin slant on typical kraut. These were great hot dogs! The frank itself had great flavor and a good bite and the toppings were fun and different. Yum! I got the pesto pasta salad and my friend got their garden salad. We both liked our sides a lot. We'd definitely return to the Caboose Market and Cafe!

What a treasure! Take a step back in time when things were uncomplicated and slow paced. When I…read morewas in Ashland a few months back. I had an incredible VA country ham sandwich here. It was so simple and so good!! Now I'm back and I want the full Southern experience. The deli lunch special was pimento grilled sandwich, and I added VA ham! It was FABULOUS! Ordered Cherrwine soda, a bag of chips and a double chocolate ice cream sandwich all for $16! What an experience!! I didn't get any of their meats or other gourmet products, but this would be my go-to place if I lived nearby. I ate this on a picnic table outside the public library and got to take in the quiet downtown area. I very much enjoyed Ashland Meat Market and everything the town has to offer. Now I'm off to my meeting, then back to DCA then on to Boston. I am so glad I got to soak in an hour of the good life!

I ordered my Christmas eve ham from here over a month ago, on the phone when ordering i was…read moreEXTREMELY specific in saying (multiple times) that I needed a cured but UNSMOKED ham because I was planning on smoking it myself. They said they could do it (after i verified what i wanted a couple more times and was ASSURED that the ham would not be already smoked) so I placed the order. I went to pick it up today and this is a cured and ALREADY smoked ham. When I called to address the issue, the manager laughed at me and said "oh, well I guess we dont have what you wanted then" I now have to entirely change my plans AND disappoint my family on Christmas eve because I promised them all a home smoked ham for dinner. I wouldn't recommend ordering from here unless you want incompetence.
