This has got to be the cleanest, nicest, well kept grocery store I've ever seen. We came down for a…read morefamily vacation and ordered several meat / cheese / chicken salad / fruit trays to have at the AirBnB. I had never been in the store before, I'd never even heard of it because we're from the north. The manager talked to us. Employees showed us where to go to find anything we needed. I was very impressed. I wish Ohio had a Publix and not a nasty Kroger's that we currently have. See the pictures for these gorgeous food trays they put together. Everything was all so fresh.

The food at the deli was great, the service less so. Despite placing an order online to avoid…read morewaiting in line, when we arrived at 3:30 (when our food was supposed to be ready, as we'd placed our order around 45 minutes earlier), the food wasn't ready. Our food (four subs) was STILL not ready for another 30 minutes. There was a steady line of in person customers, of course, but they had three workers actively making subs, and all three of them appeared to be prioritizing the in-person line. Only sporadically did they work on our online order, even though they were already behind on our order & those in line had only just arrived. Three other customers who had placed online orders arrived while we were waiting and were still waiting when we left. We finally got our last sub just as they finished serving their last customer in line. Again, this was 30 minutes after we had arrived, 30 minutes after our food was supposed to be ready, and fully an hour and 15 minutes past when our order had been originally placed. This was quite frustrating. I appreciate that the workers appeared to be doing their best, and they did apologize for the wait, which I also appreciate. But I could have gotten my food within 15 minutes if I had just gotten in line with everyone else. I'm not sure what the point is of having online ordering available, if the food isn't going to be ready when promised and the online orders are going to be so deprioritized compared to the in-person orders. Either they need to change their "ready by" times or they need to change their workflow. I will say, the sandwich, which was a vegan turkey situation, was absolutely delicious. I just wish I hadn't had to stand for 30 minutes and watch them make food for other people when our order had already been pending for longer than anyone in line.

The most polite way to approach someone is to 1st ask if they need help! Wait for the customers response and proceed depending on their answer! I no help is needed then let them know that you will be near by if needed! If the answer is yes then help them! I go to 4 different Food Lions depending on where I am. The Swansboro Store is the most irritating of them all! A while ago I was in line as the next customer and a cashier overlooked me as if I weren't there. I made a comment and both the Customer Service manager and the young lady looked at me and walked away, no apology! Today I was in the self-check out service line and the lady guarding the registers approached me and said, if you use the codes on the melons they will come back as not found. I acknowledged her by saying okay and then kept ringing up my order. I had placed all my items on the ticket and she pointed out that I had 2 different types of things on my order and that they were not the same price. I became annoyed! I pointed out on the screen the two items she spoke about and read the prices out loud because she had also said she didn't see the items on the screen so again I pointed them out and read the prices aloud! She came back with an attitude, I was only trying to help you and make some suggestions. I advised her that I frequent Food Lions often and very much aware of the process on how to locate items with or without numbers on them. I thanked her for her help and she got an attitude. Walked away saying the same thing! I was only trying to help. Help what ? Not looking at the screen to see that the items were already added to the screen! I'm gonna pass on Swansboro Food Lion going forward! I rather be treated like a wanted customer!

This grocery store and gas station took over the space vacated by the very briefly present Wal-Mart convenience store, and is a huge improvement over that atrocity. Walking in, the improvements over the Wal-Mart are easy to see. Attractive interior that doesn't feel overstuffed. A large variety of fresh foods and meats. There is even a small bakery and deli counter where you can order sandwiches to go. One of the best parts of this location, however, is that they have quite an impressive beer selection (wine, too)! You'll find everything from standard domestics all the way up to local, state, and larger craft brews. I picked up a 6 pack of "Not your Mother's Iced Tea" because who doesn't want to sip on a cold tea laced with a bit of alcohol while lazing on the beach?? This place really packs a lot of great services into their smaller location. They also double as a gas station, propane retailer, and red box movie stop. Be sure and support the pig when you're in town, so we don't have to drive all the way to Bayboro to get groceries again!
