Drove an additional 15 miles to go and visit Stew Leonard's…read more I preface this review by saying I've seen the owner of Stew Leonard's on the morning news in the past. Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?

It's Lobsta Season in New England…read more Stew Leonard's had such an incredible deal. $15.99 Full of meat and claws on a buttered roll. Kinda gummy underneath the meat. Definitely made it work once I threw the roll away. Service was great! Fast turn over to receive my order. Packaged appealing to the eye. Outside setting with picnic tables to enjoy. They also had other options like Burgers, and Hotdogs. Wonderful way to end my grocery shopping day

I wish that I lived closer to a Trader Joe's because it's amazing!! Although I would probably be…read morethere all the time! :) I don't get here often, so when I do I love to walk around and look at everything they have. Everything is fresh and very organized. I got a few things for the holidays, including a few stocking stuffers!There were many workers running around making sure the store was stocked. I saw a worker ask a lady if she wanted him to get her a basket because he could see she couldn't hold everything. She was very thankful. I thought the prices were pretty fair too. The store was very busy. I wish that the isles were a little wider. It's not a huge store, but it was crowded, which made it hard to move around. There were many cashiers, so I was able to check right out. I look forward to going back.

I don't do my "regular food shopping" at Trader Joe's, but I do pick up a few speciality items when…read moreI'm in the area. Like, Trader Joe's Green Dragon Hot Sauce, it's fantastic. And the Trader Joe's Organic mayonnaise. And most importantly, Trader Joe's Organic Peanut Butter (made with Valencia peanuts, much less aflatoxins, which could damage your liver). Also, a nice selection of cheeses can be found at Trader Joe's. I just try to get to this store super early on the weekends, like w/i the 1st hour after it's opening, so I avoid the craziness in the parking lot. Those are my recommendations.

Produce rang up as the wrong price. The cashier acted like we were being petty for pointing it…read moreout. The incorrect price was not fixed. We were told, "it's just a $3 difference." It is not the cashier's job or place to criticize me for pointing out that I'm being overcharged. We showed pictures of the prices, but instead of correcting their mistake, the cashier asked us if we "wanted them or not." This is not only horrible customer service, it shows a deep disdain for their customer base. I will never return to this location, and am seriously reconsidering Big Y in general.

Something has changed with the hamburger meat. I have been going to public market for the last…read morecouple of years, and my last batch of premade hamburgers was off. The taste was off, as well as the consistency of the meat. I don't know how to describe it but the meat came apart (after cooked). It was like old and new meat mixed together, but not mixed together well enough. My husband said something about his hamburger tasting different, and I told him I felt the same way.

Welcome to the great stuffed shrimp taste-off of 2021!!…read more In search of the best stuffed shrimp in the area to serve on Christmas Eve, I posted on various Facebook pages to solicit recommendations. Of course, I can't just trust strangers on Facebook, so we did what any self respecting Yelpers would do...we did a trial run of five spots over a two day period, ordering 4 stuffed shrimp from each. We sampled them plain, with lemon, butter, and cocktail sauce, critiquing the size, quality of the shrimp, taste and quality of the stuffing, and overall value for the price. With, of course, photos of both the raw starting point and the cooked final product. As Public Market received the most accolades in my surveys, it was our first stop. I had not been there before, it's a cute Italian market with a good selection of stuff. There is no signage for the stuffed shrimp, and they aren't in the case. So I guess it's one of those...if you know, you know. Otherwise, no shrimp for you! I audibly gasped when the woman handed me a plastic container with 4 shrimp and $32 and change noted on top. Was it upside down? Were my glasses dirty? No...at $26.99/lb, these bad boys rang in at $8+ each, the most expensive by far in the taste-off. They also topped the charts in cooking time, needing nearly 40 minutes to cook at 375. Most others were in the 25 minute range at 350. But just look at them - they're beautiful. I so wanted to love them! Unfortunately, the stuffing wasn't appetizing to me. It had chunks of what I think were fresh celery and onion, that remained crunchy even after baking for 40 minutes. It wasn't a texture I appreciated, and the stuffing was otherwise pretty bland. Better with lemon, even better dipped in butter, but for the price, they should shine alone. Hubby was hoping for something more like the ritz cracker type of stuffing, so he was also disappointed. Public Market came in at #2 out of 5 in the great shrimp taste-off of 2021. While I wasn't thrilled about the price or the taste of the stuffing, there's no arguing that the shrimp had a commanding presence, were fresh, perfectly cleaned, and tasty. I knew if we ordered these I'd be broke and figuring out how to amp up the seasoning at home, but my guests would have been visually impressed. And it seems like so many others love these shrimp, so maybe it's just an us problem. I will go back to Public Market to try other things, as the service was friendly and the quality of their ingredients to be top notch.

My mom walked in one day and spoke to the owner as she was the sweetest lady ever and super nice. My mom talked about how she immigrated and how she's been looking for a local store like this to feed her sweet tooth! (European delights and sides/snacks for when having tea/coffee) from that day on we have been considered regulars. My mom introduced my dad, then they showed me the ropes, etc. we have witnessed the change of ownership from the previous owner to the apprentice and the service has stayed just as great, nothing less expected from the amazing team. Anyways, 100/10 would recommend always as they always helps us and are always doing it with a smile.

I stopped by the Walmart in Newington in an attempt to try to find my Cetaphil moisturizer…read more This Walmart is pretty big, it features a garden center, a vision center, a nail salon, Subway, car care and a pharmacy. Currently they have a large assortment of Easter bunnies, eggs and baskets. Most shelves appeared well stocked and organized. In the skincare isle the Cetaphil stuff and some other brands were under lock and key. They didn't have what I was looking for. I don't think this is Walmart's fault, as it is likely discontinued. I saw a cute shirt on my way out. The cashier completely ignored me. She was talking to a customer behind me. I've been to better Walmarts.
