Geresbeck's has been a staple in east Baltimore county for decades! This is the only place I go for…read morecrab meat, shrimp, lobster, packaged & baked goods and now- WESTERN FRIES!!! Geresbeck's has the best sales in town when it comes to seafood. The shrimp is always cheap & they steam on site. On a recent visit while waiting for my shrimp to be steamed, I took a walk around the market to see what else I could buy. Geresbeck's has a great speciality ice cream section. They had my favorite Taharka Brother's honey graham ice cream and some other tasty choices. I ended up in the bakery department and saw SO MANY delicious looking baked goods from a peanut butter Boston crème cake to banana pudding parfaits to mini cheesecakes. Their doughnuts are huge and made with the love of someone that loves to bake. I took quite a bit of photos showcasing their selections. As I walked through the store, I started to get a little hungry for a snack. I came back around to the deli/hot foods department and saw a mountain of tasty looking western fries. Now, western fries are extremely popular in Baltimore and the surrounding counties. I've had my share of western fries from the center of the city, to Brass Hen in Eastpoint mall, to even Royal Farms. All were delicious, BUT THESE FRIES WERE ABSOLUTE LOVE AT FIRST BITE!!! They were crunchy like a piece of fried chicken and tender inside like a fluffy baked potato. Omg, I can taste them right now. They were so, so amazingly yummy. If you love potatoes, or any variation of fries, you'd LOVE these. I actually may go back very soon for a fix. I didn't need salt, pepper, ketchup, NOTHING. Now, for my only gripe about Geresbeck's is that I wouldn't necessarily buy goods outside of the seafood, bakery or specialty items. I found that other items in the store, unless on sale, are higher priced than other grocery stores. But they have to counterbalance that with the affordable seafood prices, right? Anyways, if you're in the area, stop by and pick you up some delicious doughnuts and western fries while you're there. Geresbeck's is a piece of nostalgia that will make you feel like you were back in a time when everything was simpler and easy. They will always be solid with me.

I called first to make sure that they had the items that I was looking to purchase and the man that answered the phone was friendly and helpful. The store is your typical African convenience store. It's a bit small, but has all of the staples that you need. On the Google reviews, I saw someone mention that they felt the items were overpriced; maybe when compared to purchasing in one's home country, however for imported goods, I felt that each item was priced pretty fairly, especially relative to other African stores that I have visited.

Nobody answered phone when I called 4 occasions, and the staff member I was told to talk to was never present when I was. Finally, tonight I waited 15 minutes for a actual manager. After telling her my ordeal, she's like I can apologize but I don't know what you expect.

I also think it's weird that the last couple times I've gone, there was an employee at the exit giving out survey codes asking me to rate the store a 10. Kind of defeats the purpose of a survey if you tell me what to rate, no?

The fresh peppers selection is lacking here. We were on the hunt for some Thai Bird's Eye chilis,…read morebut all they had were bell peppers and some habeneros. We were able to find a small Styrofoam cooler though, which was great. We struck out at the Dollar Tree first. I don't know if this is Giant's fault, or not, but there are two benches out front on the sidewalk. These benches are placed right next to a building support column, leaving JUST enough space for me to get through in my wheelchair. Yet less than three feet away, the sidewalk is double wide, which would put the benches out of the walkway. So when I was trying to get from the Dollar Store to Giant, there was a large dude sitting on the end of the bench, making it impossible for me to get through because his legs and shoes were in the way. And, for reasons I do not understand, he refused to stand up and move for a second. He swiveled on the bench to sit sideways. I missed smashing his feet by millimeters. The best thing about this store is the ice cream room. Seriously. There are like 8 freezers, all secluded in a bumped out section of the store. I saw frozen delights in there that I have never before seen in my life. If it didn't take 15+ minutes for me to get to this store, I'd do all my ice cream shopping there and never have to get the same flavor twice. EVER. Other than that, it's your average grocery store. Giant can be pricey, but then again I'm usually an Aldi shopper. There are just some things you can't get at Aldi. Decent. Would recommend if you're in the area.
