First is the aesthetics. Could there be a more uninviting place than this? And what's up with the entrance where you have to walk around all the registers in the opposite direction of the produce? Since produce is normally where I like to visit 1st, I'd rather not have to do that. I get plenty of exercise outside the grocery store. People working the floor have no idea what they're doing. "We're out of that right now." Ask a different person, they go into the back and come out with exactly what you're looking for. It's just pure laziness. This one and Shaw's are the only game in town. Haven't tried Stop & Shop in Amesbury yet but it's on the list.

They need to hire more cashiers and baggers , the lines are too long. The Deli is also very slow.read more

This is the only grocery store (of size) for the city of Amesbury. However, it is serving…read moreSalisbury, Seabrook, Newburyport and Merrimack as well. SB & Nbpt have their own stores but you still get a lot of traffic from those areas. Consequently, this place is typically busy and is very busy depending on the day and forget about it when you have the beach/summer rentals!! They don't have the staff to handle it and you'll always see lines. The self checkout is encouraged (after all they have already paid for the scanners). But the line is always long and seems to have the grumpiest people around. You will be charged for your paper bags and expect the machine to glitch while you are attempting to checkout and bag your items. The machine will be audibly telling you what to do and if you are not going fast enough (not those exact words). Doesn't this sound like a good time for paying for more expensive groceries, doing the work yourself, and best case is just getting stern looks from the frustrated customers who are waiting up to actual verbal confrontation by said waiting customers. I don't remember the last time I shopped in the store and didn't find expired food items for sale on the shelves. I used to take them to the desk to get them pulled so someone would not buy it and get sick. Now they don't have the desk staffed FT anymore so I don't want to wait for them to do this. PLEASE be mindful of the expiration dates so you don't get sick or waste your money!! The cooler that houses organics and some packaged Boar's Head, packaged pasta and hummus is right next to the deli doors. Sadly, I have often seen mice droppings in this refrigerator case. While the food is packaged and remains sealed, it is disgusting and unsanitary to be going through the case touching items that mice have been on (even if they didn't get into the package they spread by touching the items). As a disabled customer, I can say that they no longer have the power chairs at both entrances. You will need to enter the store by the Elm St entrance (closest to the pharmacy) to get a chair. Both entrances have regular carriages but not the powered ones -- so don't get stranded. The bottle return is no where near that entrance so it is very inconvenient for disabled customers. The deli has an electronic ordering system which is helpful if you're in a time crunch. Avoid waiting and put the order in while you do your other shopping. I've never used the butcher section because it is typically closed when I'm there or I have waited for someone to appear and I've given up. I pharmacy is by far the best part of this store -- but it is not owned by the corporation. The staff there is very friendly, helpful and sadly overwhelmed because we have a lack of good pharmacies in the area. The bakery section is decent. Again, I rarely see anyone there and they are bringing items in from a central baking location. They cover the basics with cakes, breads, donuts, and bagels. None of the offerings are what I would consider upscale or beyond average. For the price, you're better off going with any of the several local bakeries around. Bathrooms are in the corner of the store behind the deli area. Thankfully they are typically fairly clean or clean enough that I don't feel like I need to immediately get home to scrub down. Overall, this grocery store serves a wide variety of communities and is busy because of the lack of food/staples stores in the area. They'd certainly suffer if they had a halfway decent grocery store nearby as a competitor. All in all, just be aware of expiration dates. The rest is just a matter of packing your own reusable bags and having patience. PS: Vermette's is the local store for groceries. It's small and doesn't carry a lot of stuff. But check out their review.

Not sure what they are called but there are four fake horse thingy to ride.

Another awesome sale for an item I use daily called me. So back again today!…read more After the weekend rush, Monday mornings tend to be quiet in most grocery stores. And that was the case here which I prefer. Entering - again the store is definitely COVID compliant. The store was very clean and well- stocked. I found exactly what I was there for in no time. Into the cart it went . Check out was a breeze. The cashier was friendly & also the nice woman who bagged my items. It was a great experience. Yes, again : For me this store is pricey and I only go here for a deal that just fcan't be beat. I usually shop at " the other store" across the parking lot which on the whole saves me money.

My favorite grab and go's are the pancit palabok and arroz caldo. Found some Boy Bawang and prawn crackers in their grocery store. Stocked up on ube ice cream from Island Creamery and Magnolia ice cream. They also make an awesome halo-halo! Even bought a couple of electric parols for Christmas.
