Currently, they are decorated for the holidays and have special sales on Thanksgiving dinner ingredients.

Made a decent size list and really only missed out on a few things we wanted to pick up. They should probably break down the skids and put some stuff away. Pretty hard to get through the store.

But before all that, it was a good shop to pick up some drinks and snacks and a few things to use for making lunch. This Walmart is well stocked - better than the Supercenters - for food and it's well organized. Most of the checkout lanes have been converted to "Scan & Go" so it moves quickly.

I was expecting high prices at a grocery store on the beach, but was surprised by this little IGA…read more They had everything I needed and the prices were reasonable. I even found Southern specialties that I love and had been craving including stone ground grits and pimento cheese. The store is neat, tidy and well-organized. They carry all meats except fresh seafood. Most of the vegetables looked very fresh (except the cucumbers). The clerk was jovial and efficient. A second clerk was proactively helpful. 5 Star service. There seems to be plenty of parking. I'll be back.

I got shrimp and red snapper from here to cook for dinner. The shrimp was phenomenal. The red…read moresnapper was good. I'm a fan of small local fish markets, and this one fits the bill. When you walk in, it doesn't exactly scream "fish market" - as it took me a few minutes to even find the fish. The staff there that day (one person) was friendly, but when asked for suggestions of what was good "everything." The owner of the bar (of the same name) next door came by to hard sell his place. He wasn't wearing a mask, and I tried to interject that I wouldn't be coming by because my kid is too young to eat out around people - but he really didn't catch on. Sigh. I went on to get the shrimp and the red snapper. I paused trying to do the math on how much. The friendly bar owner then insisted I wasn't getting enough for "that many people" - and I should double it. I don't exactly know why I listened to him (I think I was just ready to go) - so I bought what he said. After a rather hefty bill. Getting home, I pulled out the fish and it was 2x what I needed. Sure enough, we had left overs. I don't know if you've ever microwaved left over red snapper - I don't recommend it. So - the interloper from next door brought down the score, but the shrimp was so good I can't imagine going less than 4 stars.

The cashier that was at that station was friendly and immediately greeted us inquiring how could she help? That was despite the fact that she was in the middle of ringing another customer's order at the register. When she found out why we were there she advised us that the loyalty cards were issued at kiosk when you first enter the store. A young man escorted us over there and walked us through the process. He stayed close by in case we had any questions but did not hover over us. We received our temporary paperwork and started on our shopping. The store was not set up the way our Kroger is at-home but was easy enough to shop and explore. The few items that were on our list but we were unable to locate we asked either other shoppers or employees and everybody was friendly and willing to help. I can certainly see why people living in this area make this their regular store. The prices are fair, the sales are great, the cleanliness is good and the attitudes are fantastic! We definitely will shop here when in this area. 2024 #4

I'll be going back for more today. They carry every fish you can imagine and live crabs. The fish is in coolers and they will fillet the larger fish for you. Prices are downright reasonable. The clerks are super friendly and will bag up your purchases with plenty of ice. They also carry seasonings and a few frozen prepared fish foods. There was plenty of parking during off season and no wait for service. I'm guessing that during peak season, things get busy. This market is a MUST visit for seafood lovers.
