Very clean and friendly. I always fine what I need. I really like the Nature's Promise line of…read moreproducts which are mostly all organic. I shop at the deli and they have really good selection of Boar's head meats and cheeses. The staff is always nice and gives me samples if I ask. Like others have stated. The bonus card is really nice, I mainly use to get discount on my gas.

We used to come to Martin's a lot more frequently back in 2022-2023, but we ended up stopping…read morealtogether after a couple of bad experiences with the folks that work there and a few other factors. The first bad interaction we had was when we picked up one of the green carts, to which one of the employees snatched it out of my hands and told me this cart is for the online pick up orders only. Mind you, I had used the green carts before - I preferred them because they could hold more items - and nobody ever told me different. The lady just told me to grab another cart that wasn't green and left as though she hadn't done anything wrong. When I went to complain about it at the desk, they said they couldn't do anything about it but that I was free to pick up another green cart if there was one available. The second bad experience was with a lady working the gas station. We had saved up a lot of points through our purchases to get some money off gas, so I figured well let's try to fill up both our cars with the discount. I didn't see a sign out saying we couldn't, so we lined it up until we hit our max (which I think is 35 gallons). The attendant came telling us we weren't allowed to do that but I asked where did it say we couldn't? If the max is 35 gallons, does it matter where those gallons go into? Nowhere on the Martin's Fuel Savings page does it say you can only fuel one car with those savings. I didn't feel like arguing about it - so we only filled up the one car. God forbid anybody tried to maximize their discounts. Another factor is that the produce at this Martin's has a very annoying habit of going bad very fast. We thought it was just us - but we'd have our fruits and vegetables start to rot 2-3 days after we purchased them here. For reference, we had produce at Walmart last a week or longer - but at Martin's - it's almost like it was always ready to go bad. We noticed this on multiple visits. There was maybe a handful of times that it didn't go bad right away - but we ended up just not getting our produce here before we just quit coming. Lastly, we had one or two bad interactions with some of the other shoppers here. I think some of the folks that shop here have this idea in their mind that only some people of a specific social class shop at Martin's and it's a little hilarious because we're in Culpeper of all places. This town is filled with hardworking men and women and so it's bizarre to see a place that has people think this way. This isn't a Martin's thing - but something we've observed only here. I truly don't think every Martin's shopper thinks this way - it's just sad to have encountered it. It's all to say that I just don't feel comfortable shopping here anymore. If nothing else, the produce has consistently shown to go bad faster than the produce at Walmart and it's cheaper at Walmart than it is over here. It's a shame.

The deli sucks but checker Chris is outstanding…read more Went in to get some groceries for an outdoor class I was attending the next two days. Headed to the deli for cold cuts and was next in line as a young black dude helped a customer and a large black man (a manager) spoke to him and a female worker. The young man handed the patron in front of me their order. He looked me straight in the eye as I approached to tell him what I wanted and without a word- he TURNED AND WALKED AWAY! He went to a sink in the rear of the deli and started washing something. The manager clown kept bumping his gums and the girl responded and the (now) dish washer nodded. I however, remained unacknowledged. After the manager stopped quacking, the girl finally came up to me and asked my order only to be interrupted by the buffoon manager. It took me close to 10 minutes to get a few slices of turkey!!! Beyond unacceptable. I was literally constructing a one star Yelp review in my mind as I prepared to pay for my selections. I unloaded my basket and was greeted by an effusively friendly employee, Chris. He asked if I found everything I needed and rather than complaining about the idiots in the deli I asked where to grab a steak in town. Chris rattled off a couple of his favourite spots describing the pros and cons of each. He then asked another checker who also opined. I took Chris' advice and went to the PIEDMONT STEAK HOUSE and it was just how he described it, expensive but really good. When I came by the next evening to get some almonds, Chris remembered me and asked where I ended up going. I was blown away! I thanked him and told him that he had nailed The Piedmont. He went on to recommend a couple of other places to dine in Culpepper including a group of food trucks. Just goes to show that one good employee can make all the difference. Kudos Chris, you're a customer service NINJA! The deli still blows.

They have a small cheese section, it was sad and disappointing. Eclairs were pretty good, I would…read moredefinitely get them again.

I must say that Lidl has now become our #1 grocery-shopping spot. Consider this a 4.5-star review…read more Can't give it 5 stars because we honestly can't get "everything" on our weekly shopping list here, but can get pretty close. And the quality continues to be superb. Both fresh & frozen seafood has been wonderful, & I like that nearly everything in their cases are either BAP-certified or USA-sourced. They also have some very interesting & reasonably-priced frozen seafood items like in-shell Escargot (6 for $3.49) & oysters on the half (6 for $6.99). While I'm not a fan of raw oysters & even if I was, wouldn't eat them frozen/thawed, these are FABULOUS when used for half-shell dishes cooked like "Oysters Rockefeller", & in fact we bought two trays today to enjoy for Valentine's Day for just that recipe. Anything keeps me from having to shuck them myself is fine with me. As for other protein products, their ground turkey is the least expensive in town, chicken prices are terrific, & I enjoyed a 10-oz. boneless ribeye steak last week that was a poem of butter tenderness for a mere $5.99 total. Yes - produce does sometimes need a look-see to ensure freshness, but do keep in mind that one reason Lidl manages to keep prices low is that they get a lot of their produce shipped in a few days a week, as they do not keep storage facilities on-site. So yes, some produce suffers. But if you use your head (& your eyes), you can easily select some really wonderful fresh produce at bargain prices. (Two-pound bag of Sunkist lemons for $1.69 anyone? Fresh limes for $.19 each?) As for bakery goods - their Apple Turnovers & crusty baguettes are to die for! As for "complainers" re: lack to stock - the store is only open until 9 p.m., thus by around 6-7 p.m., yes, stocks of fresh bakery items are depleted & they don't re-bake & restock just for latecomers. This is something else that helps keep waste & prices down. You snooze, you lose. Show up earlier. Last item - you can find some very nice wines here at really nice prices. Their Chiantis in particular have proved to be excellent. And while they do not keep a lot of staff on hand (yet another cost-saver), the few times we've had to ask an employee for something, they've been friendly & accommodating, even to the point of going into the back to see if they have something we want that hadn't been brought out & restocked yet. All in all, we now make this our very first stop when grocery shopping & will continue to do so. We save a bundle on some terrific food, & only visit the other local markets for the few things we can't get here.

good value but front counter have lazy people. Special at self checkout. I had a question and the…read morelady was texting and did not pay attention to me.

Inexpensive, and plenty of leftovers so now we have lunch for tomorrow too. This store is laid out the same as other ALDIs, same merchandise, same shelving and we had no problem finding exactly what we wanted. No surprises here! Inexpensive, good quality, and an easy shop.

I appreciate this German food chain. Aldi is a grocery store that gives you savings instead of…read more"frills." You won't see spacious shelves, food demonstrations or tons of employees in the grocery aisle. I like the food selections. The produce items are usually high quality and cheaper than most other stores. I have gotten a bunch of bananas for as low as .24. That price varies but it always cheaper than Safeway, Giant, Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and Shopper's. Crackers are normally cheaper at Aldi too. Merci chocolate packages range from $6.99 to .$9.99 at other stores. I just bought several for thank you gifts and paid $4.99 a piece. The owners have an innovative way of never having to collect their own shopping carts. You have to have a quarter to "deposit" into the cart to unlock it from the other carts. Your quarter is returned to you as soon as you replace the cart. If you don't have change, the cashiers are happy to give you change for any bills. Bring grocery bags. If you forget them Aldi has a wonderful giant reusable bag that you can purchase. I am not a fan of their plastic bags. They don't last long if you have heavy items. You won't find many brand name items but the products are produced in the same warehouses as the brand name items and are just as good. This location isn't near my house but I enjoy stopping by when I am in the area. The employees are nice. The bathrooms are clean.
