Ripped grocery bag from Shaws, Wakefield, MA
Karen H.

Just an FYI to the bagger, no the grocery bag was not ok. This is what I meant by a lot of stairs.

More expired food on the shelves. I just went to make a sandwich and noticed this...moldy rolls, purchased 2 days ago.

This is my favorite grocery store in the area other than Costco, and this shoutout is long overdue…read more The prices are, like all Market Baskets, incredibly low compared to other stores, and they still have a great inventory (except for Alfredo sauce--for some strange reason they only have Rao's and Ragu amidst a sea of red sauces). I've always been greeted with kind staff members and a friendly face at the register, so top marks to all the people who work here. Perhaps my favorite section of the store is the perennially busy hot food bar: they cook up a cheap but amazingly good steak bomb (always add spicy mayo on it, trust me, it's the secret sauce), sweet potato fries, honey BBQ wings, and divinely seasoned potato wedges. I'm telling you, these are consistently the best potato wedges you will ever eat. Yep, you heard it from me: Market Basket has the best fries. Anywhere. I once asked them if they were baked or fried and received the most hilarious response: "Yes. [pause] They are fried. [pause] In oil." I will note, though, that sometimes the wings and spinach swirl pies are burnt, so do purchase them judiciously on any given day. Also, the wings that need to be heated up at home and that are sold in the refrigerated section below the hot food bar are vastly inferior--don't go for them if you can get the fresh wings: they're definitely made differently. The store is always bursting with people and is somewhat cramped compared to wholesale stores, but it's actually on the bigger side for an MB. The Stop & Shop just outside (which some MB regulars will take the liberty of visiting immediately afterward, myself included, to check for several items on sale that compete with MB) feels like a ghost town in comparison. Lastly, in terms of current COVID precautions taken: the store is no longer enforcing mask-wearing, and at least 60% of shoppers (I was last there a couple days ago) forego mask wearing (if not more). In addition, not all staff members are wearing masks anymore. Social distancing is difficult because the store is quite cramped as I mentioned previously.

This was the last place I shopped before getting all my food stamps stolen last Friday, 9/11/26…read more Pretty sure the employees were operating a skimmer machine. I'm homeless already but now I'm starving as well. Eff this place. Be careful.

This is the only grocery store in the north shore where I can find everything I need including hard…read moreto find items and don't feel totally crowded or "tailgated" by tightly wound new englanders (like the melrose Whole Foods or any Market Basket -- which are both basically contact sports). You can take some time to poke around here. I drive a little extra to shop here and it is completely worthwhile. It's a much calmer experience than any other in the area -- food shopping shouldn't be stressful. They're doing a great job. I do hope they will get pasture raised eggs soon. That's the only item I still have to suffer through Whole Foods to get. Save me Stop And Shop!

Do not use the bakery for custom cakes. The color of my cake was wrong, the piping was not the same…read morearound the entire cake. The cake board was dirty, they did not wipe it off. The lines were crooked and just made the cake look worse. I'm not sure what the purpose of custom cakes is if it's going to look so terrible. I think I would have had better luck choosing one of the premade already out cakes. Don't use the Bakery. The only reason I didn't refuse the cake is because I needed the cake. You schedule a cake for pick up for when you need it. Leaving me with not much of a choice. Yes, I was specific on what I wanted and what I wanted the look and color to be.
