    A lot of people are quick to dismiss the fresh market as some sort of high-end supermarket with outlandish prices. Wall in some respects and with some products this is 100% true oh, you can also find some pretty good deals at The Fresh Market. Service is good here and I like how when you are checking out your products, it is almost like a small town, local business type feel. Of course, this is an illusion. The Fresh Market is at least a national chain, if not an international chain. But still, it is a nice experience overall. Aliya at checkout was fantastic. Again, this place can be expensive. However, keep an eye out for the deals and you can find some good deals and the quality of the items in here are usually very good. I am a big fan of their meat and their sausage is pretty good, as well. All in all, I would give this location of The Fresh Market five stars.

    Hoping to upgrade your grocery experience? Then maybe you should check out The Fresh Market! When it comes to my food, I like quality, especially when I'm preparing or eating it at home! With a wide range of locally-harvested produce, and freshly-prepared meat and seafood available, a bakery section that will make you gain 10 pounds if you linger too long, a wine section that would make anyone wish it was 5 o'clock (or 11 o'clock, no judgement!) - there are a number of reasons to stop in! It's always so clean, seemingly quiet and the staff has always been quite friendly! I love to shop in peace with my airpods in, and enjoy that I'm not bumping into others or being interrupted much while shopping because it's truly a favorite errand of mine. The Fresh Market has become a favorite store to pop into to grab my necessities (or random cravings), knowing that each item I choose is fresh and prepared with TLC. My personal favorites? The prepared meals, the cheeses, the bulk fancy candy/chocolate section and of course, the wine section! So maybe I'm not coming here to live the healthy lifestyle that The Fresh Market continues to offer so many of us, but I am enjoying the decadent one that it's helping me offer to myself! :P

    Mmmmmm I love The Fresh Market. It smells wonderful inside. In the autumn the foyer smells like cinnamon but the store always smells good. It reminds me of the markets we would go to when I lived in Germany. I can't not give TFM five stars. I would love to only give them two because the store is filled with food I can't eat. All the pastries. All the European chocolate. At Christmas it is the worst because of all the German Christmas food (or at least all the treats I remember getting in Germany). Tonight we came in an hour before closing. It was blissfully quiet and I could just walk about sniffing the air like the weirdo I am. We have always had really wonderful experiences with the associates in the shop. People seem to enjoy their jobs and enjoy working with you. It's just always a pleasant shopping experience even at the busiest times of the year. How do they get that smell? I would suffuse my home with that smell if I could.

    I have been going to this store for over 2 months now and I absolutely fell in love with this European style store. The atmosphere and the environment of this market is amazing here. I love going grocery shopping here. This place has fresh produce from meat to vegetables to blossoming fresh flowers. I had a chance to buy their aloe plant and also had chance to get a closer look at their products. Their coffee collection is just woow [idk how to put it in words]. The smell of that particular area just makes you wanna drink the coffee right then and there..lol. I bought their vanilla creme brulee coffee anndd lemme tell you from a coffee lover's perspective, you can get a sense of how this coffee tastes just by its aromatic smell when you open the package, I fell in lovvve with this coffee. Next up, their lobster mac n cheese. Im not a fan of mac n cheese but oh my gawdd im in love with their lobster thingy. Another amazing product is Texas Caviar, this shit is just fabulous. I eat this caviar with their garlic and parsley italian Bruschetta toast. It is a mind blowing party in my mouth. :D Each time I visit this store, its a totally different experience. On top of all this, they have an amazing and beautiful staff who is always ready to help you. Also, you get a 10% discount if you show your UF ID at the register each visit, who doesn't want that. I highly recommend to check this store y'all!

    This is a must go place for BBQ. I always get steaks, bacon, and seafood over there. They are fresh and good quality. However, their chicken has a wired texture, it is like rubber(did not over cook/ under). They also have pretty good coleslaw and potato salad.

    They have a very good selection of organic foods and they do charge premium prices even for nonorganic foods. It is an overall very good shopping experience, but it does lack some of the more cost conscientious shopping experience. I've never been appalled by the fresh market but overall it's just okay and I try to stay away from it unless they have some huge sale or unless they are trying to do an event to help a charity like the JDR F.

    They have Ginger Juice at Fresh Market! ;)

    A 3 star rating is too low, but 4 is too high, I need a 3.7 option. I will go 4 because as far as Gainesville goes, this is better than other alternatives. It's a nice store as far as cleanliness & customer service goes. It is certainly WAY better than the Gainesville Trader Joe's which consists of some fruit and the rest is frozen or boxed food...gross. Fresh Market has a decent selection of fruits and veggies, as well as meats/seafood. They also have a deli with pre-made food if you're in a hurry, good sushi, and a small salad bar. I do also get my biodegradable sponges here. Other than that, there's a pretty big pre-made sugar area (unnecessary in size compared to the size of the store being that it's a "health food store"). There are also 2 aisles of boxed food, a bunch of frozen food and a large way overpriced wine section. I get my wine else where in town, this store tags an extra $5+ on retail cost which is bs in my opinion. So, overall it's just OK...me personally, I want a Whole Foods in Gainesville, it's a MUCH BETTER store!!!

    Finally tried this awesome spot located in the 4th Ave Food Park! I had heard so much about this…read moreplace and it was even featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives". Their menu consists of some staple sandwiches, wraps, sausage dogs, and salads, along with daily specials. They also have a meat counter where you can buy a variety of very unique flavored/seasoned meats that are all made in house. The shop isn't super big and there is limited indoor seating. Although the food park offers plenty of coveted outdoor seating options. Service was great and pretty quick. The guy who took my order was helpful in answering my questions too. Everything is made fresh to order with higher quality ingredients. This is very evident in the taste of the sandwiches, they are truly next level! I ended up ordering a Muffuletta sandwich and a walking taco. Both of these were on the daily special menu. The muffuletta was loaded with ham, salami, mortadella, Swiss cheese, provolone, olives, Dijon aioli, lettuce, tomato, and onion on ciabatta. This sandwich was huge! The meat was super flavorful and you could really taste each one of them in each bite. I loved the ciabatta, especially because it wasn't too thick and didn't take away from the sandwich. The cheeses were mild melted perfectly on the sandwich. The fresh tomato's, lettuce, and onion complimented the other components nicely as well. I will say I wish the olives and aioli had been more prominent, as this is what truly makes a muffuletta of muffuletta. So I wouldn't really classify this as a traditional muffuletta sandwich and it reminded me more of an Italian sandwich. The walking taco included Fritos, chilli, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, and house-made ranch. I thought these were decent. This wasn't the most impressive thing, but it was still tasty. I wish there had been more meat in the chilli and the cheese was melted on top of the Fritos. The onions were simply chopped red onions and seemed too strong for the dish. While this was good, it isn't something I'd go out of the way to order. I would probably stick to the sandwiches and such as that is what truly shines here! Overall, I was more than impressed with this place. I love that it is located in the food park too! Ordering is easy and the service is welcoming. They offer a nice variety of deli options and there is something for everyone. You can taste the difference in the food here compared to other places. They use high quality ingredients and put a lot of passion into their work. I also love that they have fun switching up parts of the menu daily with unique options. While my muffuletta reminded me more of an Italian sando, it was still one of the best sandwiches I've had in the area by far. The sandwich was absolutely packed with meat and made the price completely justifiable. The bread was really fresh and not too thick, which I really appreciated. The walking taco was decent, but nothing to ride home about. If you are in the area and want a good sandwich, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by.

This year we called 3 months in advance and booked an appointment. After spending time loading and driving 30 miles they wouldn't honor our appointment.

I'm staying in a gorgeous cabin on the Suwannee River that has a grill and fire pit. We decided that for my birthday-tomorrow-we would cook outside. He mentioned Mobley's and off I went. What a great local business! As I entered I was met by a customer, (what a huge friendly smile he had!) as well as a wonderful lady behind the counter-I'm off to a great start. The location is small, but it is very well stocked! I decided to grab some hot pork sausage to make sausage and peppers tonight! I continued to explore and realized that not only is this a great meat market, but you can purchase everything needed to make a meal, or a week's worth of meals! The frozen section included various fish choices as well as alligator meat. There is also a pantry section that is neat and clean. Did I mention fresh veggies? They have them too. I grabbed the sausage, a bottle of Mobley's sweet BBQ sauce and some sweet/spicy pickles then I headed to the meat cooler. My son loves beef so I wanted to make the grill night fun and I grabbed a package of evenly trimmed beef cuts for tomorrow night. I overheard another customer ordering a ham and a turkey, presumably for Thanksgiving. The butcher appeared from the back with a MASSIVE ham. I laughed, he laughed, the customer laughed. He then explained, "I can get you whatever you want." After enjoying my experience at Mobley's I headed to my cabin. My son and his wife stopped by and we opened up those hot sausages and had a delicious meal. I cannot wait to taste tomorrow's fresh grilled beef. I will return EVERY trip to visit my son.
