My first grocery store review and it's mostly in part to give a special shoutout to an employee…read morenamed Owen who works in the butcher department. These stars are for you! Owen approached us after noticing our confused and puzzled looks while in the chicken section. We wanted to buy a whole chicken (in retrospect a huge undertaking for two novices). We literally had no idea what we were looking at/for. We would pick up a package, try and gather as much information as we could from reading the label, and put it back down. We did this a few times before Owen came to our rescue. Not only did Owen share with us his impressive knowledge of the best whole chicken to purchase, he even offered to spatchcock the chicken for us (a free service I had no idea Whole Foods did for already packaged non in-store products). It was not a surprise that Owen did an amazing job with our chicken and packaged it immaculately. He even included the chicken scraps and bones, wrapped separately. Owen left a huge impression on us and we look forward to seeing his cheerful demeanor and helpful attitude every time we visit this Whole Foods location. He is also polite and a great conversationalist! Time and time again, Owen goes above and beyond what he is expected to do. Keep up the excellent attitude and work ethic, Owen! The last time I visited the butchers, I heard from Owen that he is planning to go back to school and cut down to part time work. I sincerely hope the best for him and in all his future endeavors! Besides our great experience at the butchers, this Whole Foods location is solid. It can get pretty busy sometimes on the weekends and in the middle of the day during the weekdays, but it's clean and decently big in here so I don't mind the crowding as much. We constantly purchase our produce from here and they are young, fresh and last a while in our fridge. There are no floral staff members to wrap flowers you purchase here though (I've never seen anyone behind the flower counter). They also do not have any Whole Foods brand fresh bread or a bread slicing machine here. They do carry bread packaged from other brands here though. The Whole Foods cafe (for the brown butter cookie lattes) seems to be closed indefinitely.

All the fruit at Whole Foods is amazing very fresh then you go into the meat section and the fish…read moresection is all excellent quality meat. I also like the cheese and cookie section if you go there early enough in the morning so you can make yourself a breakfast in the coffee is of a good grade also, the pizza is excellent and so the deli area.

I have been shopping at big y for 6 years, and I love this market! The most important is the fish…read moresection!! I Always get the freshest sweetest fish every time! Never have I had a mediocre piece of fish! Can't say enough good. Produce is great meat is fresh. There is no reason to shop anywhere else. Yes it is a smidge more expensive but the quality is worth it! Big Y is the perfect example of... you get what you pay for! Mgmt is great, The people who work there are so helpful and the majority are nice I love big y!!!

Big Y in Peabody is a nice store that's laid out well and usually fairly clean. Like many modern…read moresupermarkets, it carries a quite large selection of items. It also has a produce section, deli, and an excellent bakery. The doughnuts they make are big and tasty but don't have that "heavy" sweet taste. One problem with Big Y is of course the high prices. They don't compete well with Market Basket, ranking up there with Shaws and Stop & Shop instead. Second, though they do carry many items, I've found a number of products I like to buy are missing. For example, they only carry Barber/Tyson frozen stuffed chicken, omitting anything from Koch Foods or Milford Valley. And the store doesn't have quite as much variety as it first appears as they stock the same items in multiple locations in the store in some cases. I don't see the point of this. Finally, they have the gall to charge $0.10/bag. This really makes me angry--I see no reason to nickel-and-dime customers as Big Y does. All in all, there are other supermarkets that are adequate and don't rip you off by charging for bags.
