They exceeded even my highest expectations! Delicious; Healthy; Gorgeous; & hard to believe such tasty food is nutritious too. I was putting together an awesome buffet for 50 midday guests at a Reception for my husband, Guest Artist June-July at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center -- and wanted a casual, no-utensils, yet utterly delicious feast. Special sandwiches seemed perfect, so naturally Joppa Fine Foods immediately came to mind. I will cheerfully praise & recommend every item ordered. All were beautifully arranged on platters: * Fresh Fruit & Veggies/Crudités Platters; * Scrumptious Sandwiches: [big: cut in half] - Chicken Salad Wraps (house-made chicken salad, aioli, herbs & arugula] - Jambon Buerre [Prosciutto, butter, brie, arugula, baguette -- Ham with a 'tude] - Caprese sandwiches on Ciabatta [heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, oil + vinegar] Sometimes a detailed description does best justice to enthusiastic kudos! BIGtime thanks to the warm, friendly, exceedingly competent team at Joppa Fine Foods for making our reception so memorable. A few photos don't hurt either: _____________________ All items for events?

I have driven thru N. Reading and past this location for many years. Saturday afternoon, I made my first pilgrimage to Ryer's! I ordered a grilled chicken with ketchup and chicken. I ordered at deli and paid at counter. I got a water and a bag of chips, too. I walked around the store a bit as my sandwich was being prepped. They have alot to offer, including wine/beer. I entered at a busy time. Alot of customers coming in after calling on the phone or ordering on-line. Much like D'Agostino's in Winchester....Business was good, which is always a good sign, as I waited for my food. My chicken sandwich was brought to my table and after my first bite, I was thrilled! The chicken was cooked well, just the right amount of ketchup and pickles! Delicious! I will definitely return. Way back when, I use to go to "Gloria's" in Winchester for an incredible grilled chicken sandwich. However, they have closed so may Ryer's is my new go to when I am looking for a chicken sandwich! Price: Fair ($15 for sandwich, drink and chips) Parking: Plenty of spots out front Vibe: Friendly and Easy-going help Pepsi/Coke: Both available Service: Reasonable....on time...not a long wait Will I come again? : For sure! 5-stars....I liked it!

I just finished reading all the reviews and while most of them were positive and well deserved, a…read morecouple of things stood out that I think deserve some comment. Before I get to them I want to jump on the bandwagon and say Rob and Jannette (the owners) are some of my favorite people now. I park my car in the garage across the street from them and feel a gravitational pull to the market every time I park. I sometimes go in there with no need and no idea why I'm going in and walk out with something special. Now to the complaints (which were few but shouldn't go unchallenged). First, some complained that the prices are high. That's true, as well as inevitable at such a small scale. I know the owners aren't becoming rich via this venture. If you're the type of person that only considers prices when forming a value statement, you might be better off going to BJ's. For me, value is a complex calculation that doesn't actually result in something that you can put a dollar sign in front of. I live in the neighborhood so convenience is a factor. The selection, in particular the beer and wine choices, is something that I literally can't find at any other grocery store nearby, thanks to the invisible Puritans in my state that voted down a referendum to allow grocery stores to sell beer and wine. Much of what's available is sourced locally. More important than those, and something that I saw in many reviews, is the wonderful relationship I have with the owners. I can't even walk past the place without a friendly wave from them. They know their products and are happy to answer questions about them. And they know me. They know I try to only eat vegan foods, their amazing Muffaletta sandwich being a notable exception. They know I'm allergic to chocolate. As a regular customer, I get special treatment from them. Try THAT at Market Basket! Just this morning, I ran out of turmeric and ran to the market. They didn't have it on the shelf, but they had it in the kitchen. Rob got me what I needed and refused to take my money. What's something like that worth to you? I also saw some people complain that the produce can be on the edge of spoilage. I can't deny that there have been times when I purchased things only to have them inedible the next day. I understand that this is just normal for a small, owner-operated grocery store with moderate turnover and minimal staff. But instead of writing them off, I alert them when I think something in the display fridge should be removed. Also, I don't stock my refrigerator from MSM. I buy what I need when I'm going to use it and inspect it before putting it my shopping basket. In other words, I don't attempt to treat them like a tiny Hannaford. I treat them like an amazing pantry, which is easy for me since they're in the neighborhood. Before the MSM opened the city conducted a survey among downtown residents that attempted to figure out what types of businesses people would most like to have appear in the neighborhood. A small grocer was at the top of most resident's preferences. I'd like to remind people that now that we have one, we'd better use it... or we'll lose it. I'd also add that whatever problems may exist at MSM, they'll only get better if we reach out to them the way they've reached out to us.

Market Street Market is the only locally-owned grocery store as of the time of writing this. The…read moreowner of the store also owns the building, and he is as friendly and helpful as anyone could ask for. The market carries a nice assortment of fruits and veggies (mostly local), deli meat & cheese, pastas, sauces, breads, coffees, etc. They have a great MA-roasted coffee that is excellent, and you can even get fresh-squeezed OJ by the glass - there's a fancy contraption that allows you to watch the process - or you can get watermelon by the slice. Perfect for those hot summer evenings. There are some muffins and pastries if you need a quick snack, frozen foods, and a decent selection of laundry soaps (like method) and other household necessities. In short, pretty much anything (basic) you'd need to run your home, especially if you already eat out several nights a week. They're open 8am - 8pm. Also, since it's a smaller store, I'm assuming that the owners will stock anything you ask for if there is a growing demand for it. They seem pretty flexible and are definitely open to opinions and feedback on how to make store as good as they possibly can. So why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well, it is pretty small, so there's no way they can stock EVERYthing that I need, which means I'll still probably have to go to a larger store for some things. That and the prices have to be a little higher because they get such small quantities. Otherwise, I'm a fan. I'll try to get at least a few items there every week just to keep them in business, because it's something that was sorely missing from the downtown Lowell area. Stop by and check them out! Tell 'em Jen + Tommy sent you :)

The parking lot may seem small but it has only been so full once that I had to wait for a space to open up. This is the local place where you can get a bunch of your necessities. I don't think it is the place where I could ever get everything I need for my shopping list. But it does have some produce, meat, frozen food and ice cream. They have a small curated selection of alcohol too. Because it's so small just about everything is either a heavily used item or it is a careful curation of choices that they are offering. The store has always been clean and organized when I'm there. Which is amazing because I don't see people roaming around doing this task. I don't think I have ever heard customers verbally confront each other in the store (doesn't mean it doesn't happen, I just have not witnessed it). It just seems to be a little more laidback than the corporate grocery stores. As a local business, I try to shop there and support them. They are a vital part of our community. We have a lot of people who want to walk or bike to get their groceries and they can here. Prices are reasonable. They could be obscene because of their size and location but they are not interested in going that route. That speaks volumes to the store owners and management. I'm a member of a local civic organization and we regularly ask them for their help with prizes for our fundraising etc. They really do an amazing job and give back to the community. I cannot imagine a reason why I wouldn't want to shop there other than I can't get everything there. The benefits outweigh that though. An added bonus is that you will be paying an actual clerk that will greet you and be nice throughout the process!!
