Dee my cashier did an outstanding job under pressure. She was very easy going and a pleasure to talk to.

I have had their chicken breast bone in and bone out, they were both extremely tough and chewy . I ordered a rib roast for Christmas when I went in to pick it up they gave me Choice beef. I asked them to give me prime I literally watched the guy take off the paper of the one I had just handed him and rewrapped it. I was throughly embarrassed that it was so tough and no flavor. Back to Lehr's Meats in Milford, I am so disappointed on Christmas with family . read more

Expensive food, but if you GO TO the store on the right days, there are good, healthy specials. In the winter with no transportation the store is useless to me as even as a loyalty member I cannot get the specials with delivery. I don't really think I will order from them again due to this, and will stop telling my customers how great the store is. If one is a member,one should be able to get the specials regardless of how one shops. Very disappointed. read more

We stopped by this store today since we haven't been in years. We didn't miss anything special. There's some items you won't find in the big box groceries but many items can be found in the regular grocery for about $2-$3 cheaper. The produce section is small and unimpressive. My husband saw some warm, roasted whole chickens in the center deli area -and being hungry- decided he wanted one. The worker didn't greet us, just stared at us until my husband asked if he could get a chicken. Then it was handed over without a word. I said, "Thank you. Have a nice day." That's when we finally got some kind of response with a mumbled "Thanks" and walking away. The cashier was friendly. She was also really quick and efficient, so we were out the door in just a couple of minutes. The store is clean, organized and easy to move throughout. When we got home we noticed that the deli counter employee had marked the chicken wrong. We were charged a full $2 more based on their mistake. In addition to being overcharged - the chicken was over-cooked and very dry. We tossed it in the trash. No wonder this store was empty at 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Kenwood Towne Centre parking lots were packed and Trader Joe's had a very long line wrapped around the side of the building with people waiting to get inside (which is why we decided to stop in here instead) yet this store was empty. I don't think I'd return to this store. read more

The Fresh Market - the front of the store - Grocery Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I usually go to The Fresh Market in Oakley. I was running errands and wanted to stop by and get some Lemon Pepper Salmon from the Deli Section for Good Friday. Was waited on right away. Staff was very kind and quick. Pricing for grilled Lemon Pepper Salmon is only $7.99 which i not bad. The size is decent and taste great. You never have to wait a long time at check out because they are always fully staffed. The Fresh Market is very pricey, but I really love the deli section because I am always on the go and sometimes don't have time to cook dinner. There are a great selections of meals if you are vegetarian, love rotisserie chicken, sushi, etc. read more

Love this small grocery. I go every week to get produce and lunch meats. A little pricey but the people who work there are so nice and the food is good so I don't mind paying a little extra. Lots of wine and beer selections as well. They also have a couple of card displays with the greatest cards for all occasions. read more

I love their flavored coffee and some of their meats and cheeses. I bought some small buns and when I tried to use them, they were stale. Not a lot of money but this is yet another instance where I couldn't eat something I bought. Dry rotisserie chicken, tough pork are other issues I've had. Since I needed a bacon they carry, Nueskis which is fabulous, I decided to return the buns. I stood at the meat counter for several minutes before one of the butchers finally came out. He was in plain sight as they have large glass windows and could see me as well. Neither of them would look at me and the one guy never asked if I needed something...just went back in and ignored me completely. I gave up and when I returned the bread for a refund, explained what had happened, the cashier wasn't too concerned. They really need to work on customer service. It's been a problem at this store off and on for years. read more

I contacted the corporate office over 5 weeks ago about an electric wheelchair. Still not in the store. It's hard to go shopping at this store if you want to be independent. TJ across the street has several so shop there instead! . I contacted the corporate again this week to discuss and no call back. If I use curbside pick up I can not use or receive my locality points. This store is hard if you have a disability. Do better Fresh Market... your location and the people you service in this area like to be independent. read more

Really disappointed as the decline of this place has been pretty steady. There is too much turnover and the new hires aren't even qualified. They are trained on the spot for the meat counter. Sadly several of the best staff has moved on to the new Whole Foods across the street. I went in today and was searching for the fresh sashimi grade ahi tuna and the pieces in the counter were just sad. Cannot believe they were even displayed for sale. They were falling apart. Had to buy frozen and changed my dinner plans. Though there weren't any customers at the meat and seafood department there was no staff to be found to ask what they had in back. In the past purchasing this product I often found the tuna steaks poorly cut and very fatty. Had to complain several times. They don't do it themselves is their excuse. I sear mine so it's important that it's cut well. I had been a loyal customer for years, but when the staff doesn't know what's advertised it's a bit disappointing. For instance, the chicken breasts and cutlets are supposed to be trimmed. No one knows this even tho it's always in their weekly email. One of the managers, not the meat counter manager mind you at the time they didn't have one, said he'd been there for three years and had never heard of this. I've repeatedly shown them this email and to no avail the chicken is never trimmed. This is disappointing as I generally shop here on my lunch break and really don't have time to wait.Especially if there are several people ahead of me. The last time I asked them to trim it it was completely butchered. Of course, I didn't realize this until I was getting ready to cook it. The cuts were uneven and it was more like hack marks as opposed to near edges. I had a 20% off coupon that one of the meat department staff at Oakley had given me. It was a little past expiration and this meat guy told me that he thought even the Kenwood location would still honor it if I told them his name. A manager that had come from West Chester informed me that she didn't know of this employee like I had made it up seemed her angle. Funny thing is when I went back and saw him in Oakley he knew exactly who she was. This hadn't been the been the first time I had encountered woman. She has a tendency to be stand offish and a bit offensive with how she had handled my issues by talking down to me. Trust me in when I say I will never step foot in her store. As of now the Oakley location is where I choose to shop unless I need something in a pinch and it's convenient. I used to shop the Kenwood store multiple times a week for their specials. Between the Oakley store and the Kenwood Whole Foods I don't really get into this location much any longer. read more

The only reason I ever come here is to get Rick Bayless' Chili Starters. They are the only place in the entire Cincinnati area that carry them. They are amazing. Take my advice and try the green chili one! As soon as I walked in I noticed a weird smell almost like something had gone bad out front. Immediately to my right I saw the potted herbs - great! I needed some sage. Every. single. herb plant was rotted and the herbs were brown and dead. Not like, on their way out - but full on brown and dead. Who let this pass?! Then onto the produce. It is neatly displayed sure, but it is lesser quality and higher priced than what you can find at a nicer Kroger Marketplace. I hate comparing businesses this is an obvious comparison that missed on both levels. Also - the takeaways are a rip off and they don't even look fresh. I picked up a small container of elbow pasta with pesto on it and it was $7! WHAT?! I literally just made 6 containers full for a picnic recently for the same price or less. I will admit they have an impressive array of peanut butters, nuts, and candies. If overpriced nuts in a fancy scoop your own box is what you are looking for - they have it! Overall, I'm just not impressed with this place. read more

This place is, like Whole Foods, is pretty pricey. At least for me it is. The products they carry are certainly the kind that I prefer to buy, but I feel like I can find reasonable prices at Trader Joe's. However, I ventured into The Fresh Market today because Graeter's announced on Instagram that The Fresh Market would be selling their pints buy one get one free! There weren't any signs or stickers announcing the sale - the pints were simply marked $5.99 ($1 more than at Kroger's or at Graeter's stores). However, I was pretty sure the sale was in fact going on because the shelves were nearly empty. There were only four flavors left - vanilla, Bourbon Pecan, Coconut Chocolate Chip and Black Cherry Chocolate Chip. I took the last pint of Coconut Chocolate Chip and one of the last Black Cherry Chocolate Chips. When I approached the cashier, I asked if the sale was indeed still running. Although he didn't know anything about it, it rang up buy one get one free, so I was good to go. The cashier also checked their flyer and it was listed there. Anyway, beautiful store, full of products I love and friendly service. read more

The Fresh Market - Bonfire Logs - Grocery Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It's expensive but good when I need specific specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere. The Cado Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is the bomb, and so is the Forager cashew yogurt and fresh goji berries. read more

I went yesterday for first time. I bought oranges, carrot sticks, beef, and sweet potatoes. Thus far I've eaten carrot sticks and an orange. They were both incredibly bland. They were awful and at a higher price. I am still in search of best place to find fresh oranges. UPDATE: I Cooked the beef I bought and I think it's probably the worst I've ever tasted. I bought over 2 lbs of it and every bit was thrown out. I can't imagine returning to this place. read more

I love this store! Everything is beautiful and so fresh. They should call it... oh, wait, they do. But seriously, everything I've gotten there is delicious and the people have been super helpful (knowledgeable and patient meat counter, etc). I watch for their sales and love their "little big meals", $5 Thursday fresh pizzas, chicken dinners. Incredible deals on superior product. read more

The Fresh Market ain't so fresh! I've never been & my friend and I stopped there after lunch in the area to pick up some snacks for a New Year's Eve party. The man working in the deli wasn't very friendly when I asked about some Brie cheese but happily assisted another customer. The women's bathroom in the store was DISGUSTING! There were 2 stalls, one didn't have toilet paper & the other had feces on the seat and "used" toilet paper on the floor. When I told an employee he seemed unphased. I was not pleased. The only redeeming quality was the amazing smell of the coffee brewing in the store. It smelled great! I will never shop there. I expect more from an "upscale" grocery store in that area. read more

This is one of two Fresh Market locations in Cincinnati. This particular location is just now a year old, and it's easier to get in and out of than the Oakley area location, I think. I shop there for fresh seafood and meat, produce, specialty items and fresh flowers. They have wonderful cookie, pastry and fresh bread choices. They also feature prepared foods: rotisserie chicken, salads, wings, etc. and have a huge selection of cheeses. The Fresh Markets here also sell wine and beer and they have a rather extensive floral department. read more

I have shopped here frequently ever since opening and at Oakley before that. The good. 1. A great bakery with very good croissants and fruit tarts. 2. Good fresh peanut butter. 3. Some good deli items excepting the dried out rotisserie stuff. 4. Decent sushi. 5. Butcher. A better selection than most places if you eat anything beside beef, chicken and pork. Somehow they often get our Xmas order wrong. 6..Nice ambiance, love the lighting, wood and music .7. Easy access - park right outside. Staff OK but not up to Trader Joe's.. The bad. 1.The produce. Quite often outdated and sometimes rotten. Spends much too much time on the shelf. Fresh it ain't. It is very pricey. This has been the case ever since it opened. They should really find another name. 2. The wines. I don't know why anyone would buy from this selection. 3. Seafood. The fish always look very dead. read more

Love the freshness of the fruits and vegetables. The seafood is also excellent. Very nice assortment of international foods. Nice crusty bread and terrific pies. read more

Fresh Market is one of those awesome stores that you walk in to with the intention of buying one or two things and yet leave with several delicious items. I prefer it to Trader Joe's because I feel that is has a better layout and a better selection. It is worth noting that Fresh Market's prices are a bit higher than Trader Joe's. The absolute best area of this store is the meat and seafood. It's so incredibly fresh and the quality is excellent. My husband always requests Fresh Market steaks for his birthday rather than going out to eat. I have to admit that the steaks we always get are melt in your mouth delicious. Again, you can expect to pay a pretty penny for any fresh meat or seafood but it's worth it. They also have a very large produce section and floral section that I often find myself frolicking through. They have a really fun and impressive candy and coffee section in the middle of their store. I love stopping over here because they have some "healthier" candy options for my kids. The organic vitamin C gummies and suckers are our personal favorite. They sell candy by the pound which is always fun and nostalgic. What I really appreciate about Fresh Market is that they are always fully staffed meaning you can easily find an employee to answer a question or assist you in finding something. The checkout lines are impressively fast making it really easy to run in and grab something if you're in a hurry. read more

Such a disappointment - always look at the fish before you buy! We are Fresh Market regulars in Oakley - probably 2 to 4 times per week - buying a variety of items, but specifically meats and fish. We were in the Kenwood area and decided to see if they had any Chilean sea bass in stock. There was only one small and thin piece in the case, but the butcher volunteered to see if there was anymore and offered to go ahead and cut another piece for us to grill. We were SO DISAPPOINTED when we got home tonight and realized that the man who had cut our sea bass (@$29.99/lb) gave us a very small and thin cut (4oz) and a very large and thick cut (12oz). THIS GUY KNEW BETTER! We regularly shop Fresh Market because of the quality of the foods and service. THIS WAS SO UNACCEPTABLE. read more

I don't shop here often. It's just not convenient for me, but I happened to be shopping and needed dinner fixings. They had a pretty good selection of seafood. Bought a nice piece of snapper. Also walked by the ready-made section and noticed a sign for ordering a brie en croute for the holidays. It comes in three flavors (raspberry almond, apricot and some nut, and cranberry walnut I think). We called and ordered two raspberry almond wheels to bring to two different holiday parties. Also picked up containers of crispy french bread rounds in the bakery section to spread the brie on. We baked them before the parties, and they were the a hit! Not a bit left of mine. My hubby's was almost finished as well. Both got great reviews from the guests. They ran about $15. Would definitely buy again! read more

i stopped in today to look for some fresh whole grain bread, and found a very limited selection. All of the bread items in the bakery section looked to be made of white flour. I did buy one bamboo charcoal round loaf that was very good. while checking out, the clerk didnt even acknowledge me, or make eye contact. She seems so stuck up! I finally said "how are you doing today?" she replied and asked after me also, but with a very flat disinterested tone. She left my two grocery bags on the counter and took my cart and put it away in the car rack without seeing if i needed it to get to my car, and total ignored me. There is no excuse that a store so high priced would have check out clerks that are just rude! Ill probably never return. Panera across the street would have been a better choice for breads. read more

Very pricey. Produce is so-so. Can get better quality for the price at Pipkin's. Meat department has good quality but employees are not so friendly. Ordered a large order of chicken cutlets for a cookout a few days in advance. They didn't have my order at pick up time. So came back an hour later to pick up our "new" order and it was obvious whoever prepared my order was not happy. When I came home and unwrapped my very expensive chicken, nothing looked like a cutlet and I spent more time cutting and trimming than I did making any other food item that day. Buy organic at Kroger!! read more

It's a niche type grocery. We go there for their in house smoked salmon, applewood bacon, bread, crab cakes, fish, teas, occasional rotisserie chicken, and more, though we usually buy fresh fruits and vegetables elsewhere. It's not for the thrifty, but it's great, in a limited kind of way. read more

I go to the Fresh Market in Kenwood. Lovely, clean store with helpful, knowledgeable and hardworking employees. After church or on your way home from work, take a moment to stop in, have a coffee sample and browse! ----- If nothing else, be sure to get the Frozen Silver Queen corn - just like fresh and unbelievable good. (far superior to any packaged corn I have purchased before.) It is worth the trip for this alone. ----- Soft lighting promotes a slow and stress-free shopping experience. Rarely do I wait in line at the checkout. If I do, someone comes running to open another line. Aisles are not filled with kids nor people on their cell phones talking loud and blocking your path. ----- $2.99 Tuesdays - with great ground beef and boneless chicken breasts (not organic, but antibiotic free and hormone free) A wonderful value! Chicken breasts are huge and fresh. ----- They have a crispy, thin, salted caramel cookie that your guests will be impressed with- no matter who they are. This is not the place for 100% of your shopping, but for certain specialty items that they excel in, great hot rotisserie chicken breasts done in the store and sandwiches made to order. If you are in a hurry, this is the place to go! If you only want a few choice treasures or something for a party... perfect! They will even help you do a nice package to take as a hostess gift in their floral department. Along with many others, I am praying they do not get eaten up by the huge Kroger conglomerate with their overabundance of kroger made products.... read more

This is a really great store. They have a fabulous bakery. Some of the best hamburger/hotdog buns, cakes, cookies, donuts, bagels, and sweet breads ever. I don't know how all of their bakery items are so moist and delicious. Plus they have lots of great organic produce, fresh meat and fish, and unique specialty items throughout the store. The store is inviting and just fun to walk around and look at all of their products. read more

Really they have a huge management problem. There's no reason why so many people under one roof should be so unhappy, unhelpful, and disinterested in their jobs. Managers seem to come and go. Love the products but the atmosphere and the products don't match. Whole foods and trader joes are so much more enjoyable. read more

Very similar to Trader Joe's/Whole Foods but it is much more expensive. Everything I could tell was made in the USA so that is good. Other than that, it is a specialty grocery store with "natural" name brand foods. read more

already wrote a long, long review. And when I pressed red sign up & post it vanished. Can you please find it. I put it so nicely and am too tired to even try it again, let alone say it as nicely. read more

Fresh Market is a different kind of Grocery store. Oh yes. I don't know how someone with less-than-great eye sight will find anything in this store, because of the 'Gourmet' lighting they have in the store keeps the dark inside. Sometimes when i don't want to make the trip to Biggs to buy just one thing, I give in and go here.As always, i come out with not just the one thing. Compared to Whole Foods which has the national chain strength, TFM has less variety of stuff. But both seem to have contracted different vendors as far as non-produce stuff is concerned. TFM is much more pricey also. Where as Whole Foods is the heaven of hipsters, I see mostly 30+ women and men in Fresh Market. Some of the stuff like Okra chips or veggie chips which my wife loves, can be found only here. I really wish we had something like the Sunflower market of Denver, where you could get Organic and similar stuff without paying much premium price. Real reason I prefer to go to Biggs (Hyde Park location) here, is that they have the same Organic milk and produce at a lower rate. The other day i found Natural Delight dates here (which are really tasty).Somehow i find that if you need ripe bananas, this is the place to go. Even with a name fresh market, their produce section was underwhelming. They have the same non-organic stuff you get in Kroger, just marked up. I looked at the Trauth milk and realized it is $1 more than Biggs. "Ah to hell with it." I thought, I don't want to make the 15 minutes trip to Biggs. read more

Fresh Market is a good store. The highlight of it is their prepared foods and their specials. They have a good selection . It is not as big as whole foods, which is great if you only need a few things, but it does not have the variety of whole foods has, so there is a trade off there. Not everything they sell is natural or organic, but it means they sell some things that you cannot get at Whole foods. The service there is very good, everyone is friendly and very helpful. read more

I like the products and the service here but it is pricier than other places. When I need something special and I really don't have the time or energy to drive for it I know they'll usually have it here. The premade meals they sell at the kiosk in the center of the store are fantastic! read more

NON ORGANIC at ORGANIC PRICES Not a fan of this place which should be called MEXICO MARKET (nearly 80% of the produce is from Mexico and CONVENTIONALLY GROWN) that's grocery speak for NON-ORGANIC. The meat counter is also not a butcher...you can't get anything done specially but they do have a nice selection and are very helpful. Of the specialty items in the store they have a very good selection. I also posted a photo of some rotted produce, it was one of the few organic items. read more

We love their abundant selection of breads and all fresh baked and internationally sourced pastries. Always plenty of parking. Another small detail that really took me over positively was the serene instrumental music. Silly but it relaxes me. Beware, many high priced items @ Fresh Market. We go for specifics we really like and when we just need a cpl items to cross off our groceries if we find ourselves in kenwood area,.. SOmetimes for a bbq, or similar event, I'll buy the pasta goat chs salad made in house - it's amazing! read more

They have chicken breasts (and sometimes chicken thighs), and hamburger (ground chuck) for $2.99/lb. on most Tuesdays. If it weren't for this great sale, I don't know what I would do. Thanks, Fresh Market for remembering those of us who can't afford the more expensive cuts! read more

I grocery shop here with my fiancé all the time. They have some of the best fresh food around. If you get a pizza ask for Greg. He makes a perfect pizza. read more

They have good food its just massively over priced. I really like their burgers everything else for me is just okay. The best part about this place is their pre made desserts especially the cookies and pies are awesome. I would still recommend the place because Cincinnati has so few high end grocery stores compared to what I am used when I go back to Miami Beach. read more

I agree with the post a few above. What happened to the Fresh in Fresh market. I have picked up moldy produce and brought home smelly bad meat more than once from here. I love the convenience and atmosphere of this store...but fresh it is not!! I hope they get "fresher" again soon!! read more

The only reason I give this place 2 stars as opposed to 1 is their Tuesday meat specials. Other than that, it is very pricey. I tend to pop in once a week to grab a to-go salad for lunch, but have finally had enough. Probably every other trip the check out lines are 10 people deep (15-20 min). There is never a manager in sight. They never open additional lanes to accommodate demand. All the cashiers are painfully slow, and are typically forced to bag as well. It is like most of the employees are numb zombies just trying to slog through the day. It is infuriating and it happens very often (ditto the line at the butcher on Tuesdays). The salads are just mediocre. It is a further trip for me, but I will just go to the salad bar at the Madeira Kroger or grab a salad from Honeybaked in the future. Can't believe this place is still ticking given how poorly this individual store is managed. read more
