First time in one of these Market Basket stores and I loved it. I have no idea why, but I love visiting random grocery stores that I've never been to let alone heard of lol. Market Basket is one of those stores. Neverrrr even knew this place existed. New Hampshire is such an amazing state. This was my first time there as well (and I grew in upstate NY. So weird I had never been before) NH feels like one of Americas best kept secrets. Anyway, this store is massive! It's also massively busy. Couldn't believe how crowded it was. You think...."I'm in New Hampshire, there are like 5 people who live here" You legit never hear of anyone who is from here lol. Even growing up in NY, I can't remember ever meeting anyone from NH, lol. But yeah, plenty obviously live there and yeah kinda weird right to base that off of one visit to a grocery store? Haha. Anyway, store is massive. They have everything (except for Simply Apple Juice lol). Prices are great. NH is not nearly as expensive as most states in the northeast. AND the stores still use plastic bags! Which I love bc it's so ridiculous to get rid of them...especially when like 80% of what we buy all comes in plastic! And plastic bags! What's even weirder...in NY and other stores where those plastic bags are banned...grocery stores SELL. BUNDLES. OF. PLASTIC. GROCERY. BAGS!!! WITH....their store logos on it!!! And they sell the bundles for like $8-10 lol. So ridiculous! Just bring back the bags ffs lol So yeah, that made me happy to see here...even tho my weird love for visiting random grocery stores in random states...I always buy one of their reusable bags. I swear I'm like an old granny who wear big sweaters and is lonely...and finds fun in buying reusable bags from stores across the country hahahaha! The store is very well laid out. It's not hard to find anything...except, there's lots of walking bc the store is very large. Employees are so nice! Seemed like everyone in NH is nice. I look forward to the day I get to go back. Locals probably love this store. Visitors, if you're looking for a good store with good prices, friendly, helpful employees, Market Basket is a great choice. Thanks for reading, YelperMarketers!! Cheers! read more

Can never go wrong with Market Basket. Their deli and self serve food options are spot on. Not only big portions but also affordable. This particular location is clean and easy to navigate. The team members are definitely friendly and helpful. Got my haul for the week here so, can't complain. read more

The food at markets kitchen is so inexpensive and a good option if you need something cheaper. However, I was in last week and it took over an HOUR to get my order taken and food made. Thought it was a bad day for them so whatever. Then I decided today to place an order over the phone. Took 15 mins for somebody to pick up and they said it would be ready at 4 for pickup. Which was a 35 min wait. Whatever. Then I get there at 4 and they didn't even start making it yet and it's been another 35 mins waiting over what I was supposed to wait and I still don't have my food. They need somebody in there to bang out orders or come up with a better system. It's ridiculous read more

Stopped in for a few staples. All the expected departments: deli, seafood, bakery, meats. But we had some trouble locating items like a specific brand of apple juice found in a different location. Nothing major. This is not a location we frequent. All the staff we interacted with were lovely. Jenny, our cashier, was very friendly and we had a nice chat with her while we checked out. All in all, it's a typical MB with maybe not as many options, but still well stocked. Happy shopping. read more

Absolute worst people in the kitchen. Called ahead, gave them 20 minutes and still wasted my whole break waiting for my sub because they haven't even started it until I got there and the store was dead. Service on the phone was horrible this lady sounds miserable and misery loves company absolutely terrible experience. read more

Every time I go into this location the associate is always on her phone, texting or talking in a phone. The associate is a argumentive & rude read more

I get good vibes from the cashiers Good hard working people who provide good service to the community Solid experience Sure there are sketchy people hanging outside but it's manchester I like how they have cooked warm food for purchase like pizza or baked goods I am grateful to live so close to MB read more

Maybe....it's just the overwhelming nostalgia of being away from New England for so long. Or maybe it's just the fact that we have grown tired of previously buying our groceries from a place where you can also inexplicably buy and rotate your tires (*cough*Walmart*cough*). Regardless, as a long term New Englander/East Coaster, I will tell you that Market Basket is THE staple standard for legit grocery shopping. This may be difficult for anyone not indigenous to the area. But there is something very profound and robust about the food selection at this grocery store. Best of all, they accept Apple and Google pay. Which, if some of you haven't noticed by now, is an automatic gold star on my ratings list. Also, they sell a copious selection of alcohol. Now, that may seem trivial to some. But believe it or not, I've been to plenty of grocery stores that only sell your basic food and soft beverage options and nothing more. Convenience and variety all packed inside an organized, well oiled machine of a store. What more could a damn Yankee like myself ask for? I'm giving Market Basket the ol' 5 aisles stocked with fresh seafood produce out of 5. read more

Market Basket is a hidden gem for quick dinners that taste good! We got Steak and Cheese and service was fast, filled my steak up with meat! AND ONLY $6.99 for like a foot long! Also their pizza is some of the best around and you get a 19' pizza for $11 it's crazy deal for the quality of food! Definitely recommend! read more

Probably the largest best Market Basket and i think with what they stock, provide and have they are probably one of the best stores in New Hampshire. The crowds here will also tell you that is the story as there isn't a time in the day when there aren't 100s of people here and you have to walk halfway through the parking lot to get in. Lots of hot item choices too they are the choice for not only daily shopping needs but for lunch options too for people working in the area. Highly recommend. read more

If you want GOOD, FRESH New England seafood, this is the place to go. It's always fresh, abundant and best prices anywhere!!! It's always my go to for seafood to bring back to PA. They're always busy so be prepared to possibly wait a bit. read more

I ordered two cold subs and a steak and cheese wrap from the Market Kitchen. The gentleman who made my order couldn't read English or my very neat handwriting. He had to keep asking the lady working with him what was written on the paper I gave him. He took his slow time making my order and cooked my steak and cheese wrap first. I asked for extra cheese, extra mustard and extra pickles in my wrap and maybe got the minimal normal portions of everything. The steak was soggy and was stone cold. The overall sandwich was pathetic and extremely unappetizing. The entire food service area was full of cross contaminated foods and sandwiches were being cut with the same knife without it being cleaned in between. The nicest thing I can say about this place is it needs a thorough inspection by the health department. read more

Market Basket - This is supposed to be extra cheese, extra pickle and extra mustard? - Grocery Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

WTF kind of store is this? The checkout clerks openly laugh and mock customers appearance behind their backs and to their faces, while there usually only three checkout lanes open at a time. Slow, rude and unprofessional do not begin to cover how bad this store is. read more

I like this store better than whole foods, they actually have a lot of different ingredients. If you are looking for mediterranean , or hispanics cheeses etc they have them at reasonable prices. The produce department is most likely the weakest section. The staff was cheerful, and nice. read more

Today was the worst I have ever had at the Manchester store first the person in front of us had her daughter finish the shopping while she held her place in line she also wanted everything double bagged. Then the cashier was the slowest unpleasant one that I have ever experienced, I snail could have mover faster then her. The whole experience took 30 mins in line. Which it never should have taken that long read more

I went to market basket and there was SO many people there I was close to hangin having an anxiety attack. THEN, I went to the aisle where the y have the Aloe water. Which is basically water with chunks of aloe in it. It came in MANY flavors. Come to find out, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them expired LAST YEAR! Every single one, in EVERY SINGLE FLAVOR! I bet they still haven't got gray ones now! read more

After shopping here for a very long time, I will no longer shop here. I hope they start holding their employees accountable for their actions. Dora is the rudest, most ridiculous Cashier I believe I have ever encountered! I hope they start hiring people with customer service skills instead of just having a body there to cover staffing issues! read more

You want to be belittled by cashiers that you use ebt come here You want to get no actually help pnly to be pointed in the wrong direction come here read more

A general request, PLEASE, PLEASE, train the baggers how to pack groceries. On more than one visit I have had to repack my groceries. 1. When a customer brings in bags, use as many as needed . Don't feel that you need to put everything in as few bags as possible. Distribute the weight. If you have a hard time lifting my bag to place in the carriage, how can I carry it into the house and up the stairs? 2. Place heavy items on the bottom, lighter, breakable items on top. This doesn't always happen. 3. Refrigerated items can be put in the same bag for ease of unpacking once home. Thank you for the chance to improve our shopping experience. read more

A wonderful place to work ! Great staff! And an excellent shopping experience with a good selection .

The absolute WORST in the MB chain. Terribly understaffed and the ones that work there don't have ANY sense of urgency. And they NEVER have half of the items advertised at the food counter. Place is abysmal. read more

Recently I've had some bad experiences with Manchester Market Basket and had actually switched to Hannaford. Purely by the luck of the draw I went back to MB today. Because of how fantastic my cashier was, I think I will give MB another shot! I've attached a copy of my receipt. Hopefully someone within Market Basket will acknowledge this young lady. Hard work and professionalism should be rewarded! Do the right thing Market Basket management and acknowledge your employee! The five stars are for the cashier I had this evening! read more

See all

Employees at the deli/pizza bar are lazy and unprofessional. Was standing in line with 10 or more people and they were just staring at us. It was 2 of them standing there chopping one steak on the grill! Are you kidding me? They didn't even acknowledge anybody! Unreal! 0 stars read more

Its Market Basket! Great prices, many many options and willing to work with the community by hiring teens! Not perfect, but great for the area!! 5 stars! read more

I have shopped at Market Basket for years and I have to say that I love this place. I have shopped at Hannaford and Whole Foods with my wife, and I can say that between Hannaford, and Market Basket I save about 30% shopping at Market Basket. When we shop at Whole Foods it's more expensive but if you want something that is out of stock at other stores Whole Foods has it. You might pay more but you can at least buy it, for example my wife can't do dairy, so she likes oat yogurt, and it isn't available anywhere but at Whole Foods has all you want. I always arrive at the open when few people are there and always check Best by Dates to make sure I get the freshest and within 1/2 hour my shopping experience is over, and I enjoy every minute of it. I save most of my receipts and match them to my wife's Hannaford and on a lot of items I save at least 30% read more

I used to live market basket but lately they have a bunch of young punks that like to be rude to customers if the punks keep the attitude up I'll stop going to mb in Manchester read more

Honestly this is likely the best standard Grocery in Manchester. Prices are reasonable and when I am looking for particular items like "key lime juice" and etc, I usually find it here over Hannaford. This place is a bit of a drive from my place but it is worth it! Happy Hunting Yelpers! read more

Ah. The Manchester Market basket. Long afternoons I've spent in this place just looking for a few items, or perhaps stocking my pantry. The experience is always the same, abject chaos, and extreme nostalgia. Everything is exactly where it belongs, and the teenage staff, unbothered by your presence, is actually a comfort. The Goya and Asian section is incredible, and they always have a good selection of meat and produce. Thank you, Market Basket. read more

Prices are always decent. But the employees are little punks from the inner city. You alway hear them swearing or talking about something inappropriate. Lines are alway a mile long. And the parking lot is always fun. Filled with homeless people and drug addicts begging for money. read more

If I could give a negative 1,000,000 I would. While checking out yesterday the cash register malfunctioned because the screen was smashed. In hind sight I think Big Babs punched it. The young cashier was very nervous and flustered. The bagger Barbara was rude and verbally abusive to the kid. Because he was having trouble. When I told him no worries, it's not his fault. Big Babs said to me "if I were you I'd shut up!" I was stunned and asked the manager Joel standing at the next register. (he must've been scared of her she had to weigh at least 250lbs) he didn't even acknowledge me, the customer. The whole time the manager was trying get the machine working she continued to threaten me. On the 3rd threat he did finally touch her shoulder. was all he did to "rectify" the situation. She didn't care that her boss was there and kept up the threats. Please beware folks, if you somehow piss her off she'll jump you. Such a shame that Market Basket allows this kind of violence! read more

A manager kicked me and my friends out for no logical reason. We came in 10 minutes before close just to grab a quick bite to eat, go to the bathroom, and get out. Apparently one of my friends jokingly threw a paper towel at another friend in the bathroom right as the manager walked in. Any normal person would view that as playful and mostly harmless, but he had such a huge problem with it that he escorted us out. He was clearly either on a power trip or something was happening at home and he decided to take it out on us, I don't know. He gave us unnecessarily harsh attitude and insulted us by asking "how old are you guys? Like 13?" When we're clearly not. You'd think he'd be more concerned about the state of that disgusting bathroom. Bottom line, the manager turned a genuinely harmless little thing into a giant problem and kicked us out. If anything the worst thing we did was give him a nasty attitude, which he deserved, and was no worse than what he was doing to us. Miserable and bitter man. Shouldn't be a manager of anything. I don't understand how he worked at Market Basket for 20 years without being fired. Do NOT shop at this Market Basket. read more

I'm pretty much patient and never usually complain about anything. i had got to the checkout and started putting my groceries on the belt i asked the cashier if the young man bagging could go get a couple heads of lettuce. I walk with a cane do to two bum knees. The cashier flatly stated no he can't i shop here usually twice a month usually spending close to $400. i Couldn't believe it was wondering the difference between that and a pack of cigarettes. i told the girl i didn't think i could make it back my knees were already taxed shopping 45 minutes. If this is policy of some sort id change it, i'm sure there are many more seniors than i that forget one item by the time they go check out. read more

This place is awful. First off, on the 5th of the month, forget even trying to get near the front door or you'll be stuck in lines for an hour or more. Anytime of the day the deli is terrible. I've tried different hours and I'm always stuck at the deli line for at least 15 minutes before they call my number. Most recently I went to get three items from the deli as well as three grocery items off the shelves. By the time I took my deli number I had more than enough time to go get all my shopping done, come back and still wait 10 minutes to be called. By the time I checked out of the store, what started with me needing 6 items for my weeks worth of lunch ended up costing me 50 minutes. More staff, more deli workers, more cashiers. They need a lot of help at this store. read more

I love Market Basket. They are forever "DeMoulas" to me, by the way. I worked at store #4 1988-1992. Back on point, this store has an awesome array of grocery options. I find that the items I buy cost less here than Hannaford (where I shopped before this store opened). Only four stars because of location, and how many times I get beggars asking for money on my way in and out. It's not Market Basket's "fault" of course, but it does impact the experience. Otherwise, I love it. For those that like unhealthy but tasty food: I am a bit of a junk food person, so the fact that there are fresh baked goods on tables all over the place makes me happy. They also have a ton of unhealthy frozen food things - i.e. chicken tenders, cheese sticks, poppers, that sort of thing, all really low price yet I enjoy them For those that are healthier or have allergies: They have increased the number of items they carry that are gluten free - bonus. Drawback on that though: they are not in a separate section. You have to find the gluten free items from among the regular items. That can take a lot of time, which is why most places give a separate section. Overall? Favorite grocery store in Manchester even with the people asking for money. That there always seems to be a cop standing inside the door makes me feel... better, I guess. Oh, and all summer when I was waiting the quick 20 minutes for my $3.99/lb. lobster to cook, I'd enjoy a fresh coffee and slice of excellent pizza in their huge cafe with free wifi. Check 'em out. Cheers! read more

Came in here a few min before closing but I did not know it because there were a ton of people in here . The store gave an announcement on the PA so I headed to the line which were reminiscent of DMV lines during Armegeddon. Area is kind of sketchy and I had this guy in line in back of me trying to tell me to go to a longer line. Weirdo. But they did have my favorite ramen. Large grocery store. read more

Today wasn't a good day to get pizza at the deli because of a careless employee and Thier personal judgement of me or the way I was dressed I will never know but the facts are true and the pizza is undercooked with 4 inches of crust and cold tomato suace. Very dull experience waiting in line twice to pay because the worker couldn't print my tag or help me in any way other than bare minimum at best. Triple the time I was told waiting in the store with my groceries lost because of horrid customer service. I was then out of patience so I approached the place I thought I would find relief....customer service desk and that's when my experience took another putrid plunge into this, the women interrupting my voice with nothing she could do. So I realized I was going to have to take initiative for my own behalf and asked for the store manager. 10 minutes later I become encountured by a giant with a tie named Dan and his 15 years experience name tag. Dan wouldn't let me explain and just wanted to talk to the deli person. My pizza was ready by then and I was standing in line again to pay but still not happy or satisfied or anything but mistreated. So I reapproached Dan and his security team to present my problem again wich was the cook time givin to me was tripled and no help with paying ahead via printing out the tag to save me a second wait in line. And the final product undercooked and not what I paid for at all. I was then escorted out of the store with Dan yelling and pointing out side "get your pizza and go" I feel like I was in some other place or dreaming it up. Not the same store. I asked if it was because the way I looked or the way I dressed no reply. I was the enemy I guess and I don't remember doing a thing wrong. read more

ATD you are my CEO. I was a fan of this grocery chain before the 2014 protests but now I'm a major fan! Market Basket is a no thrills grocery chain. They don't have membership cards, no major giveaways, they don't even have an official website. It's people serving people. Quality products targeted for families on a budget that work hard to put food on the table. Shopping here has saved me hundreds over the years compared to other chains. The prices are low and the quality is the same. Complaints? Well, the target demographic of Market Basket is poorer people. So you see this reflected at the downtown Manchester location. Low income families who many not be as "easy on the eye" as you'd like. But, that's life. Don't blame Market Basket for targeting the 99% because if you're reading this review, you're probably one of them. read more

I like the store overall but, every time I deal with 1 manager it's not good. The kitchen manager (pizza and subs) has NO customer service skills at all. Every time I ask him something it's always "what ever is there it's all we have" and walks away. NO customer service skills, NO thank you, NO have a nice day. It always seems like your bothering him. You can tell with his speaking skills he only has a 8th grade education. So many good employees they make him the manager??? read more

My dining experience overall has been pretty good here. I particularly love their sushi, and their burgers. The meat loaf, corn and Mack and cheese I am not in love with,but that is my preference. Service is average, which is what they are losing one star for. I must add that the pastry section is highly recommended, with their freshly baked pastries, amazing presentation and wonderful taste- try the cheesecake and fruit tart! read more
