If you would have told me that I would walk into a grocery store on the WV/OH border and come out…read morewith one of the best BBQ ribs I've ever had in my life, I'd have rolled my eyes and given you a courtesy, "Oh really? That's nice, I'm sure it's good." I would have missed out. Before going in, I talked to the guy outside doing the smoking. Needless to say, the man knows his craft. He knew they were good and he'd put them up against the best of them. And he'd win. I don't need to sit here and tell you about the penetrating smoke ring or the bark or the meat tenderness. If you know BBQ, you know what I'm talking about when I say this is off-the-hook, unbelievably good BBQ. No sauce - the real way to eat BBQ. There's only one little note to make. It's not bad, it's simply a characteristic of it being from a grocery store, who has to package it up. It's not fall-off-the-bone tender. It's almost there, but leaves a little firmness to the meat for cutting, handling and packaging. But please - don't believe me. Refuse to think that good BBQ would come from a grocery store. Then go try it. And come back and tell me I'm all wet. Enjoy!

Confession: I'm a BBQ snob. I own two of my own smokers, constantly look for the best local meat…read moremarkets, look for the best off-the-shelf rubs as well as experiment with my own. I can't eat in a local restaurant because I'm spoiled. Plus, we're in the middle of moving/remodeling. Both of my smokers are in storage. And we find ourselves in St. Clairsville Ohio for this winter. I search for local BBQ joints. Come up with one and it's 30 minutes away and it only gets 3.5 stars. Not worth the trip. There was one in Morristown, one that I wrote a 5 star review for, but it's moved from BBQ to Italian. What is a BBQ snob to do? Then we go grocery shopping at the Riesbeck's in St C. There's a professional smoker outside the front entrance. Interesting. Then I see the ads in the store -- "Authentic Barbeque Smoked Daily On Site". I shake my head like any self-respecting smoking snob and think "Sure. Right. Probably dry, bland, and rubbery." and ignore it for a year or so. Then I run into the grocer's "smoking guy" and we chat about rubs, meats, and techniques. This guy actually sounds like he know what he's talking about. This isn't just some "brainstorm" from corporate HQ that thought, "Hey...BBQ's popular now...let's put a smoker out front so folks can smell that hickory coming in the front door, hire someone who's heard of BBQ, crank out some mediocre BBQ, and make some money!". He hands me copy of their smoking schedule and offers to give me a piece of smoked salmon to try, but we've already planned out our meals for the week. I told him I'd buy something in the next couple of weeks. I did. The smoked salmon. Blew my mind. Then my wife and I tried the wings, brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. Minds blown four more times. This sh**'s legit. Review I'd put this stuff up against anything I'd find in the Atlanta or Columbus areas. Certainly better than Dickey's or City but not as good as Ray Ray's. I'm going to try an post a copy of the smoking schedule the guy gave me. They only do wings once a week and they don't do whole chickens (which I recommended they add to the schedule...they do rotisserie chickens, so why not smoked?). Go give it a try. They sell it in their "hot prepared food" section, near the deli, so it's take-home only. There are a few picnic tables out front if the weather's nice. But I think you'll be incredibly pleased at any rate. Reisbeck's of all places!! Who knew??

So. Maybe you found this review searching for BBQ. Why am I looking at a review for a grocery…read morestore? Because this place actually has incredibly great, authentic, low-and-slow BBQ. We're originally from the valley but lived in "the south" for 15 and started doing our own smoking while living in the Atlanta area. We moved back here for family reasons.

Once again - this grocery store has managed to deliver mediocre quality for a special event at an…read moreoverpriced cost. On Christmas Eve I stopped to pick up donuts and a cake to make breakfast and desert easy. The donuts were dry - it was unanimous. No one could swallow any of them without washing them down with coffee. They were a choking hazard. The cake was their checkboard cake - the minute you sliced it, the pieces all fall apart and the slice looked like someone hurled it at the plate. Too many misses here lately on quality - probably won't be stopping back anytime soon.

Good morning WalMart,     This Email concerns an ongoing corporate complaint that no one seems to…read morebe taking seriously. The complaint should come up under Lori Bolen with phone number 602-448-6735. We have been shopping at store #2199 since we moved here in 2020. We utilize the grocery pickup feature on a consistent basis. Over the last 6 months or so the service has become quite terrible. The current complaint concerns the amount of times you have to call the grocery pickup line before reaching a live person instead of a recording. This seems to be an ongoing issue that is not being addressed. I have had to actually get out of my car and walk up to the door where they bring the items out and check in with them, all the while cars that have pulled in after us have received their items and have left. My wife received an email last week informing her that WalMart was refunding the last order of $79.24 and while this was unexpected and appreciated, throwing money at the issue does not resolve the underlying problem. On our last visit on May 8th, around 8:30 pm, it took 33 phone calls to get our groceries. There should be a screenshot attached. An associate actually answered on the 8th call and informed us that they were running behind and it would be about 20 minutes. I said ok. After waiting ANOTHER 45 minutes I decided to call back. It took ANOTHER 24 phone calls to reach an associate who informed me that they were not going to be able to get our order until tomorrow because they would be closing in 30 minutes.Remember, it's only 9:30pm.  As you can imagine at this point I am totally unhappy but trying to remain civil. I went inside to speak to the grocery pickup manager. I said to him I thought you closed at 11pm not 10pm. He said they didn't have enough people to pull the orders. ANY manager that closes a store early should be immediately terminated. So I tell him it's Mothers Day weekend and we have family in for a couple days and I need my order. He says to me that I SHOULD GO PICK IT MYSELF. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. . After that statement I AM NO LONGER CIVIL. I raise my voice and ask to speak to a store manager. He informs me that he is the only manager there. I cannot believe that the grocery pickup manager is the only "MANAGER" in the store. I again tell him I need our groceries. He tells me I can either come back tomorrow or again pick them myself. I demand to get the corporate number for Bentonville, AR which he tells me he's not allowed to give it out. The only other number for corporate complaints gos to INDIA. That's utterly ridiculous. Not having a corporate complaint line that customers can call when there is a serious issue tells me that you don't care about your customers enough to help them. You just shuffle them off to INDIA where us older people can't hear or understand them. I told him I am going to take the time to file a formal complaint with WalMart and also the BBB and all of the review sites I can find. Then ALL OF A SUDDEN he says the order is ready. WOW.  But when I get home there are several items missing.  The wife is really fed up after this last encounter with your rude grocery pickup manager and is now shopping across the street at Kroger. You do not have the correct people in the proper positions. I don't know if you can't find good management or that you just don't care but your main store manager needs to get their act together or get REPLACED. This is undoubtedly one of the worst store experiences I have ever encountered. Dale and Lori Bolen142 Markatan St.,Flushing, Ohio 43977330-718-2510602-448-6735

I occasionally shop at this Whole Foods grocery store. It offers a decent selection of vegetables,…read morefruits, pantry foods, dairy products, meats, seafoods, baked goods, beverages, health and hygiene products, household products, etcetera. Most recently, I needed to purchase vegan foods for a get-together, and I found a few flavors of vegan cupcakes here. Furthermore, my husband felt happy with this store's large selection of cheeses. We picked out several other foods to buy. At the checkout, we did not have to wait in line for long. The cashier spoke politely with us. However, for some reason, Whole Foods does not link my cell-phone number from Amazon, and I cannot get my cellular connection or Wi-Fi to work in their store, so I never receive the Prime discounts. Overall, I will continue to do my regular grocery shopping at other stores, and I will continue to occasionally visit this Whole Foods for particular types of foods.

This was my first time visiting Giant Eagle. As a vistor from out of town, I fount the variety of…read morevegan options to be very good but what was surprising was how everything in the Giant Eagle location was more expensive than my local grocery stores with even some of my local grocery stores being super expensive. In Boise, Albertsons and Fred Meyer are the most expensive not counting Whole Foods. Giant Eagle had Whole Food prices for regular groceries. The produce in particular was shocking. I had never seen two Bell Peppers for $5.00 before. I was able to find a couple of things to complement what I had ordered to be delivered to where I was staying in Pittsburgh. In the end, if I lived in Pittsburgh, Giant Eagle would not be my first choice for groceries on price alone.

This Giant Eagle was my family's go-to shopping spot for years. Of course, that was before Giant…read moreEagle introduced their Market Districts, let alone before a Target, Whole Foods, and other grocery options opened up in the South Hills. I wanted to add this introduction as a disclaimer since it's entirely possible that I just don't notice a lot of the problems other people have, because I literally grew up walking through this Giant Eagle on an almost weekly basis. That said: normally, I wouldn't really have any issues with this Giant Eagle. When you walk in you basically just walk in a big circle from the entrance to the exit, which isn't that unusual to me - that's what I do at Market Districts and Targets, too. (Probably because I learned to do that here, now that I think about it!) Some of the sections criss-cross a bit, which I can see being a pain; but in my case, the things I want are always easy to grab, so I can't complain. Granted, this store IS small, and that's the biggest thing going against it. Shopping here at a popular time is a bit of a claustrophobic nightmare, plus it doesn't have the same extensive stock as its larger counterparts. But that can be worked around; that makes it a nice go-to for a weekday grocery run, maybe an option for when you realize you forgot one thing at the bigger store. In 2020, the small size of the store is admittedly a bigger issue because being close to other people is a big no-no right now. I can't remember offhand if the store still has directional signs on the floor (Walk This Way, Do Not Enter, that sort of thing), but when these were in use, they definitely made walking through the crisscrossing sections of shelves harder. I'm not saying traffic control shouldn't be used when we're working around a pandemic, just acknowledging that yeah, dealing with that is a pain. What can you do. With that in mind, most of my challenges with this store are purely due to 2020 being 2020; outside of this specific year, I would rate this store at 4 stars, so that's what I'm doing. I've been shopping here all year long as needed, and will continue to do so. P.S. Just want to note that I have no idea what the comments about limited parking are about. There's always plenty of parking when I shop here - unless you're trying to park right in front of the store doors, of course. Those spots are always filled and I don't even check them!
