I was so excited to find that there was a liquor store/market close to where I live in my new…read moreapartment! There aren't many other stores within a close distance in this area. However, they are price gouging people for that reason. They know there's no other stores in the area so they are charging the most they can possibly charge.. a bottle of average Chardonnay that I could get for $12-$14 at the supermarket they are charging $24. TEN dollars more! I even said "you guys charge way too much" to the owner and he didn't even respond to me. He couldn't care less. Everything is sky high there. And the owner is not friendly. If you can get to another store, go there.

I'm only posting this review because this is the second time this has happened in a very short…read moreperiod. I don't usually jump to leave negative reviews--if you check my account, I haven't posted one in a long time--but this needs to be addressed. I've now ordered from this business twice through DoorDash, paying a premium for convenience. Both times, the order was handled poorly. In my most recent order, I wasn't given the option to substitute items. I specifically ordered from them because they had the tequila I wanted and a particular brand of beer. Instead, they sent me a different beer I don't like, without asking for a substitution or contacting me. To make matters worse, my Dasher waited while they finished the order--only for it to be incorrect. I tried calling the business, but no one answered. Now I'm stuck with beer I won't drink and will likely have to give away. If you're in the downtown area, I'd recommend ordering from somewhere else. This feels like a bait-and-switch, and it's frustrating to deal with more than once.

This was my first visit to this business…read more Around 11:30 AM on April 22, 2026, I stopped in while out on a break from work, hoping to support a local business and grab a quick lunch. I planned to order a their soup and half-sandwich combo. After waiting my turn, I asked what the soup of the day was. Instead of a direct response, the employee behind the counter (wearing a black shirt) pointed vaguely toward the counter and said, "It's right there." There were multiple signs and items, and it wasn't clear what he was referring to. I asked again for clarification, and he repeated himself--this time with clear irritation. I said "I don't see it". With some distain he replied "chicken noodle soup". At that point, it was obvious the interaction wasn't going anywhere productive or that this individual did not value his customers. I made a comment about the attitude and left. Here's the reality: in today's economic environment, every customer matters. I came in with the intention of spending money and potentially becoming a repeat customer. Instead, I was met with dismissive and unfriendly service for no reason. What are we doing? I wasn't rude or confrontational - I simply asked a basic question. The employee could have have simply stated what the soup of the day was. Instead, his attitude was unnecessarily hostile and reflects poorly on the business. Interactions like that don't just lose a single sale, they cost long-term customers and referrals. If ownership is paying attention, fire this guy!Staff represent your brand, and this experience fell well below any reasonable standard of hospitality. Unfortunately, I will never be returning, and I will not recommend this place based on this experience. In fact, I will provide this account of my experience with Royal Food Mart to many!

I ordered the BBQ beef brisket sandwich and can't wait to go back to try the whole menu. The sandwich was made to perfection. The bread was amazing, and I finished it before I knew it! It had cheese, onion, tomato, mayo, and BBQ sauce - this was so good. I'm usually not big on tomato or heavy BBQ sauce, but if it's worth it, I'll eat both... and this was absolutely worth it. The BBQ sauce has officially grown on me. The wait wasn't long at all. I didn't go inside to pick up my order, so I can't speak for customer service yet, but I can 100% vouch for the food. Got lucky with parking right out front. Can't wait to come back!
