The checkout lady was competent. She even thanked me for bringing my recycling bags, asked me how my visit was and invited me to come back to the store. The bagger was pleasant. He happily bagged my items and as I exited, I believe it was a manager, smiled and bade me farewell. Two thumbs up. This is a model class in grocery store customer service. I will be back.

Here at OI on vacation and we wanted to get deli sandwiches to bring to the beach. We did have a…read morePublix really close to us so we thought we'd get some from here (we usually like to shop local but it's a Sunday and many places are closed) Now, I'm not a huge sandwich person as I'm a picky eater so I was kinda hesitant but it was really good. The bread was very fresh and soft which is usually a deal breaker if it's hard and crunchy. I liked that you could make your own sandwich as I sub a lot of things usually and it was ready in about 25 minutes. Would recommend then for sandwiches if you are needing something fast! We also shared a pasta salad and potatoe salad!

Since there's a Food Lion in Holden Beach, I rarely take the opportunity to shop at this Shallotte…read morelocation. In town to do some appliance shopping after Thanksgiving, I opted to stop in and pick up the few things I needed from the grocery. The store is conveniently located on the main drag through Shallotte, not too far from the intersection of Highway 17 and Business 17. The layout of the store is similar to the Holden Beach one, although it feels much larger and newer, with updated flooring and signage. The wine section is larger and more varied, with specials at all price points. I like that Food Lion carries the Udi's gluten free breads, including their baguette, which is pretty decent for GF bread. The trick is to know these breads are located in a freezer case on the way to the produce area, just past the deli section. The staff is friendly and helpful, and checkout is a breeze.

This is a very good grocery store that really functions well most of the time. I have shopped at…read morethis store since they came to Shallotte years ago. They have some excellent up front associates who really present themselves well...thus making this particular store much better than other Food Lions in their chain. These quality people make shopping here a pleasure rather than a chore. The store is clean and always well stocked. Their meats are good, occasionally I have gotten some lunch meat from their deli that are tough and not quiet up to par. Their other meats are usually very good. Their vegetables are good and presented well. As a whole, for a small town grocery store, we are fortunate to have FOOD LION CORPORATION in Shallotte, NC.

We came to this Walmart to pick up some household goods while coming home from chilis. Parking lot…read moreis in need of new pavement, dips and potholes are everywhere. On the inside this is a massive Walmart. It's fairly clean but you know it's like Walmart clean. It's clean but not the cleanest. We were able to find everything we needed, and while walking around the store was well stocked. The checkout lines are short and move fast, which you know isn't always the case with Walmart. Overall pretty good experience, but it's nothing special. 4 stars here.

Okay so they remodeled, but it's just lipstick on a pig. Same nasty Walmart, same unorganized…read moreshelves just in all different places, same rude as hell, miserable employees who hate their jobs so therefore refuse to do them. Self checkout is new but already broken on a regular basis. They just tried to make the store feel a bit nicer so we don't complain about how expensive everything is getting while the quality drops. If this area had any other options for household items I'd never step foot in Walmart again, but sadly we don't. Every time I have to go to this store it ruins my whole day. At the very bare minimum I wish the employees were helpful and polite instead of rude and miserable all the time. You get paid the same, you could at least do your damn job properly.

This location would be great except the parking lot is pretty much pitch black. It's not well lit and even though this is a safe area I didn't feel very safe in this parking lot at all.

If you are looking to make big grocery store trips to get a big bunch of food or supplies for the week, you probably are going to head to the Lowes Foods right back over the bridge or the Food Lions near Sunset Beach or Shallotte. But for quick things, a few food items or convenience store things, beer, etc. then Sheffield's fits the bill. A huge walk in beer cooler, always nice especially when it is so hot outside! There is a small seafood shop in the back as well. Quick ice stop here is probably the main reason we see it so much. Very nice people working, great location, and handy items make Sheffield's one place you will probably visit many times if you make it out to OIB anytime for a vacation.

Bottom line: This Food Lion in the Holden Beach area is a good grocery store resource. Clean, with…read morereasonable grocery prices for a beach area, good selection, and both staffed/self checkout options available. Very busy place as it is nearest to the beach and at a busy intersection, so the parking lot can be crowded also. The Deets: The nearest big chain grocery store in the Holden Beach area is this Food Lion, back on the mainland in the shopping center at the first stoplight after coming back over the bridge from the beach (same on as Walgreens). The parking lot is usually pretty packed as this store/shopping center is a pretty busy one. The grocery store itself is pretty clean and has a good layout, but again usually pretty busy with customers. The grocery prices are pretty acceptable for a beach area and of course their Food Lion MVP cards for special prices are useable here. There is a pretty good selection of all grocery items, no visible lacking areas noted so far. There is a hot food bar available if you want to use for a premade meal to take home. The beer cooler is towards the front to the left as you walk in, pretty handy in a beach area obviously. There are staffed checkout lines as well as self checkout kiosks, and the self checkout area line actually moves pretty fast as well staff comes quickly when needed/screen signals them. This beach area Food Lion gets the job done and I have to say it's not bad compared to most beach area grocery stores as well as a lot of Food Lion stores in general.

Island Market is confusing. I tied my small dog, Josie, outside and came in last year. They told…read moreme to bring her in and were very nice to her. A year later, two days ago, I brought her in and the staff fussed over her. Today I came in with Josie and a guy behind the counter scowled at us. They had a dog sitting on the counter. The scowling guy said the dog did not like other animals. He also told me I couldn't bring her to the back, where they had been so nice to her the day before, and the coffee drinks and bagels were prepared. We went next door to buy my café mocha. So, Island Mart confuses me. They are either very dog friendly or not. Depends on the day of the week?
