Coming out from Market Basket I saw this store and thought of checking the place being Indian…read more After checking I asked when they usually top up their store items from the lady standing at the counter, she reacted very rudely while making faces with another lady standing next to her who was also indian. I really felt offended by the kind of attitude they showed me ( especially the older lady standing at the counter always). Never gonna visit that store again.

Conveniently located next to Market Basket, you can come here after shopping at Market Basket to…read morepick up Indian food as well as some beer and wine. They had a lot of rice, spices, snacks, and a small selection of frozen food. I could not find the expiration date of some of the frozen food. My advice would be to take a good look at what you are buying to make sure it is not expired. The other side of the store has beer and wine, with decent prices. The cashier tried not to give me a plastic bag since plastic bags have to be free during COVID. I had to ask nicely and she gave me one.

The fresh offerings are delicious, the ice cream is worth every excruciating dollar, and it's perfect if you're in a pinch for some necessary items as the nearest supermarket is like a 20 minute drive.

So I was just breezing through some reviews and noticed that I've never reviewed Mckinnon's Market…read more So here's a quick overview of this fabulous small butchery. I've actually been a customer at McKinnon's going back all the way to the 80s. Back in the day my dad and I used to drive over to Everett and get truckloads full of meats for our barbecues. We roll up with a truck loaded up with ice. We used to purchase about 15 pork roasts 50 to 100 pounds of hamburg, same for chicken wings, sausages etc. as we used to have huge Fourth of July parties with approximately 400 people at our house and we purchased all the meats here. Always a good experience, always good quality never any negativity at this store. Onto the present I still currently stop in a couple times a month to pick up a porterhouse or some of their specialty marinated meats. They also have killer homemade deli roast beef behind the counter for sandwiches. As most markets, they have the miscellaneous, a little vegetable section, some dry goods, etc., etc. but I still consider this a butchery. They have fabulous meats, chickens etc. go by you might get lucky with a special. There's about 8 or 10 offstreet parking spots so hopefully you get lucky and get one. If not, wait about five minutes circle the block and one will open up. FYI, parking on Broadway you do need to pay the meter. The staff here are either seasoned veterans or high school kids all which are very respectful and helpful. Check them out for your next barbecue or if you're just in the market for a protein, you'll probably be a customer for life.

Miss marked obviously, but my point is you can always get a great find if you know where to look. The packaged fruit, huge portions for the price. My only negative is the take out... Hit or miss. A nice verity as a meat market, limited stock on everyday pantry items.

Quality of their sandwiches have suffered greatly since change in ownership…read more Sandwiches are so overpriced now. You get no meat with your order. It's all a fluff of lettuce and bread

Realized I'd forgotten to buy beans in the middle of making my turkey chili. When the number didn't work, and the other nearby convenience store didn't answer the phone, I decided to walk the 1/2 mile to check and see if they had beans. I'd heard good things about the place, and had been meaning to stop in. Very clean and organized, and the owner was super friendly. Had exactly what I needed. I'll give them more business for sure!

Her customer service is 10 out of 10. She is so sweet and personable and so is her daughter and the man that works the front counter. It's a tiny intimate store that packs all the punches. It has everything you need to make an authentic Asian meal with many naturopathic remedies behind the counter that my mom used to use on me when I would get hurt or not feel well. I love this place so much you brought back so many memories.

This is a small family owned Lao store and the man and woman are both the nicest people ever! You'd…read morewant to call them Mom and Dad. Whenever I come into town from Seattle, I ALWAYS make it a priority to stop by this Lao store. I love that they're true to their spice and if you want it XXXXTRA spicy, you'll definitely get that XXXXTRA spicy. I normally order a Large raw beef larb/laap and a Large papaya salad. These usually come with a side of cabbage and cucumbers. I love this place so much that I came back the next day, ordered more raw beef laap and papaya salad but also got their Nam Khao and Meekathung/laadna, and they were delicious! Definitely order ahead of time by phone if you're ordering plenty since there is only one person doing the cooking. Since this is also a store, they do have ingredients/seasonings you would need to make your typical lao dishes. They also got instant noodles, som moo, different asian fruit drinks, mortar and pestle, bamboo sticky rice holders, rice cooker and so much more. I did happen to see that they even had thai flavored chips (salted egg, tomyum shrimp, etc) you usually wouldn't be able to get in the states! I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I used to go to this place when there were friendly people…read more 1. Their prices are very high compared to other Middle Eastern stores. 2. It is not clean at all. I don't understand how the Health Department doesn't close this place. 3. Every time you go there, you buy the same things but you are charged different prices. 4. Today at my last trip to this place, they tried to charge me $15 for the pound of boneless lamb. They said they pay too much so they have to charge too much. And when I told them this is wrong I don't believe it. The tall lady with glasses told me that is your problem. 5. I will never go back there. Save your money and time don't go there.

Very friendly woman at the cash register. The butcher works out of the basement…read more The butcher sent up my order of some cut up lamb which was in very large size pieces. When I asked for the meat to be cut up into smaller pieces, the butcher sent a message that he could not do any further cutting because he had cut his finger. Of course I left as quickly as I could. The meat is cut in the basement out of customers sight. Hard to know what goes on in the basement area. I hope city inspectors are checking out the place often for cleanliness. I am not going there again.

Small grocery store, probably the size of a convenience store... and since this pocket of…read moreSomerville doesn't have an actual/full-sized grocery store, neighborhood produce IS convenient. It has all the produce I usually get, a great selection of grains, local dairy products, but what I love about this place is they also throw in unique items that I can't find elsewhere: ORGANIC sunflower seed butter, Moroccan preserved lemons, gourmet mushrooms, chili oil made with grape seed oil, Vermont goat cheese. There are usually a few staff members working, and for some reason I always get this young man at checkout, and he's really memorable because every time he asks me about at least one of my items -- asking me how I cook with it or if I recommend it, etc. I enjoy these little interactions very much! Random side notes, they keep a water bowl outside for dogs and it is right by a green line extension stop.

I especially love their bulk section because there's so much variety. They have so many types of grains, beans, spices, and teas. They also sell soap, dishwasher detergent, body wash and castille soap in bulk. You can bring your own containers which they'll weigh for you or use one of theirs. Definitely check this place out of you're looking to shop sustainably or just need to pick up a few grocery items!
