Some of the rudest people I've ever met work here. It only exists because of the local senior citizens. They shop here to remember the good old days and this store charges then way too much. read more

Clean good produce nice checkout experience. Waaaay helpful staff when looking for something.

There are happy and easy going people to help all over the store. I've never taken more than a few minutes in a checkout line, and they have a great bakery! read more

This place is separate, yet affiliated with the IGA grocery store. I mention this as if you go to the customer service desk in the grocery store and you can get a loyalty card which adds up points overtime when you grocery shop which can be used at this IGA - Midtown Fuels gas station, when getting gas. The price of the gas was in line with the surrounding stations, at least 9 pumping stations, each dispensing unleaded or diesel gas. The good point it you do get discounted prices when using the IGA loyalty card. (assuming you shop regularly at the IGA.) There was also plenty of space between pumps so it should not get overly crowded. There is also a small convenience store offering the typical item one would expect from such a place. The place was clean and the service was friendly. They also seem to have a drive-up window for your convenience. read more

Martin's IGA Plus - Bakeries Near Me - Effingham, Illinois

This IGA has a great variety of selection. It is a family owned business that has been a part of Effingham my whole life and more. I worked here during my years in college. I was the lucky guy who got to clean up the mess in the meat department after the day of butchering; it wasn't a fun job. The meat department has a great selection of fresh, quality meats. They will cut any piece of meat, sharpen your knives and special order anything you want. The butchers are very knowledgeable and helpful. The produce department has a wide variety of fruits and vegetables that are all fresh and beautifully displayed. Possibly the best bonus is the Iron Horse Cafe connected to the store. When I lived in Effingham and tended bar I would always stop in here after work to get a late night breakfast. At that time they were open 24 hours a day, but now I believe they close at 10pm. In any case, the food was made fresh to order and delivered quickly to the table. They do offer a hot case of foods that already prepared. Such items as fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, etc. Very "down home" dishes, but all made very well. I'm so glad that this place has been able to survive since Wal-Mart added their grocery department to the local store. However, the four-star rating is due to pricing. I know it's difficult to provide low prices compared to Wal-Mart and I'm ok with paying a little more to get better quality produce and meats, but some people don't understand value. Also, I'm really disappointed the restaurant is no longer 24 hours. Of course, maybe they had to start closing early since I left town; who knows? read more

This was a pretty nice grocery store. They had a good selection of fresh deli items, and they had a lot of Amish noodles and cheese and other things, that was really neat. They even had a natural foods section. Found everything we were looking for, it was clean, organized, and the staff were friendly. read more

This is a really nice place! One can tell that the owner and folks that work here really take pride in this store. Prices are very reasonable. Along with the deli, restaurant and bakery, one can get about anything when it comes to food. read more

Great local store - Clean. Friendly Staff. Pharmacy in store. Bakery. Deli, Meat Counter. Floral Shop.

Really great Texas donuts, almost as big as a record album...if you love donuts u gotta try these...they are fresh every morning

I love this store. The employees are the greatest. You ask where something is they actually walk you over to the product instead of pointing and saying its over there. They all know how to say Thank You. I believe it is the only store left that will offer to help put your groceries in your car. I love the Iron Horse. I eat there at least twice a month. The prices i can live with due to the better over all selection and quality of the products. The meat is outstanding and the produce is fresh. I just love this store. read more

Love this store. They are friendly and courteous. The bakery serves delicious pastries and receive guests with a warm friendly smile.. The floral department is just as friendly and eager to get your order out to you in a professional manner. We hired the catering services and we was very pleased with the courteous and friendliness of service and the food was well prepared. The food was served hot and everything tasted fresh. And at a great price.The caterers came in quietly and did their job. Again very polite and well mannered. I live 30 minutes from this store but I keep going back to them. Wonderful service, quality products and a friendly attitude keeps us coming back. read more
