“An enjoyable shopping experience, with reasonable prices.
Recommend for all your needs in the south end of town. I always enjoy the deli items.”
“Just discovered this because of a uhaul rental. Was very pleased to find such an interesting selection and the Owners are absolutely lovely. Will definitely be making it a regular stop.”
“At the food court a small child accidentally fell and bumped her head, enough to leave a small welt. Within minutes, Morgan was there giving assistance. He saw it from his till, got someone to cover and immediately came to her aid. For a younger man, I was imlressed as how he took control of the incident and made the little girl feel comfortable and safe. He checked her out thoroughly and reassured the little girl the whole time it was going to be alright. She remained calm the whole time. To know what to do when medical attention is needed is one thing, but to be that compassionate is another. Very impressed. Well done!!! Also, we come every week for something and it never disappoints. Fast service, plenty of stock and price wise its fair. Been a member since 2000 and we moved here (Parksville) March 2024 and this is by far the best Costco we have been to.”
“This store is a great little convenient store, very nice couple running it, sometimes if you short a couple bucks they’re happy to help you out. Some regular customers even have credit account.”
“I absolutely love the staffs at M&M food market by Mary Allen drive. They are always so friendly and willing to help anyone finding products. Danielle and Karen were super nice, and Danielle helped me find all things on my list!! You two made my day!!! Thank you so very much again.”
“They will let us pre order lamb so we are sure to get some, and cut and package it to our preferences. You won't find better quality lamb chops in town! They have a wide variety of meats / sides to choose from and they're definitely our go to shop, for meat. Good service all around.”
“This is a small friendly store offering all delicious options. From store brands. Gluten free and organic options. Fresh veg. Fresh meats and fish. Delicious baked goods and a lovely selection in the deli.
Worth the shop!”
“5 stars if you come in the hour before they close--4 stars the rest of the day. But the 10pm staff seems like mostly teenagers and that's great that they can earn some money, but I'd rather you close at 9 PM and I have to be a little earlier, and let those kids go home.”
“The absolute best value for fast food. Try the caramel sundae, unreal and way better ice cream than DQ.
Vegetarian options: No vegan options but they have cheese pizza”
“Excellent little store has everything you need happy people working there helpful as can be I love living in Cedar and this chain of stores makes my day this one or the other one that's down by the school recommended 100% have a nice day”
“Excellent service, respectful phone calls, attention to accuracy!We switched to Costco because our friends told us that the rates were lower, so off we go to Costco. The only hassle would be if you have mobility issues, because the parking lot is large, the building is huge inside and there can be waiting in line. But my husband is doing the picking up while I wait for hip replacements :) I'm IMPRESSED with the courtesy and respectful friendliness which overlies the high degree of professionalism of the pharmacists and the adjunct staff. If ever there is a problem with them, we will have this good basis for our dealings with them.”
“Much better than Bowen rds. Wish they delivered from here for us in the North end. BUT, I have asked that they clean the shrimp properly before deep frying. They always leave the poop shoot in & thats disgusting and shrimp do not taste as good. They are sweeter when cleaned. I guess they are to busy or lazy idk but I have mentioned it a few times over the years. She rolls her eyes. PLEASE LISTEN! After 6 years I tried again.. nope still there. I guess they figure nobody looks. Its time consuming yes but in the food industry it needs to be done ! Man this grosses me out. $9.50 wasted.”
“Save On Foods at Island Highway, I'm very new to the island and BC in general, wanted to make this review for one person who made my experience in a grocery store memorable and absolutely easy transition I'm not very sociable Michelle M a cashier what a fantastic personality helpful good information made me feel very comfortable I will definitely be back. Thank you Michelle M”
“The Port Place Thrifty's bakery is one of the best in town. When it comes to sweet treats this bakery in particular takes the cake. Even their cinnamon buns are better made than other Thrifty's bakeries. They put a lot of care in the things they bake and it makes a huge difference compared to other stores.”
“I ordered a meat and cheese tray to be picked at a certain time and showed up early. Tray was not ready and I had to get to work. Dede was the person whom helped me. She could see I was worried on how I'm going to get back for the tray as I would have to leave work and Xmas is such a busy time for retail. This lovely lady offered to bring to my place of work, I couldn't believe it! She was a breath of fresh air, her customer service was amazing and she was sincere! Quality Food Harewood you are very fortunate to have such dedicated employees! I will be a loyal customer here on in as well! Thank you Dede ❤️”
“QFC has been a wonderful island fixture for years (Starting in Qualicum beach). The staff is still great. The dipper/LPC prices are hard to take of late but grocers margins are paper thin, thank your dim prog neighbors and friends. Hopefully the QFC brand isn't harmed under the Pattinson group umbrella.”
“This is my preferred grocery store. Friendly, accommodating staff. Fairly high quality produce, good meat department. Plus, they'll price match anyone else's flyer, so I end up getting Walmart prices on higher quality food. Plus, I use the points to get free BC Ferry passes.”
“Want to thank my cashier today, Danny, he was working so devotedly. I hope him all the success and happiness. Amazing man, thank you Danny for trying so hard to do everything right!”
“I had a coworker recommend this market to me. I will definitely be making this place a stop for me. My first time in, super clean, very friendly, welcoming, atmosphere. Hidden Gem I can't wait to go back to”
“We love this butcher. Everytime we pass through Nanaimo we go. They have an excellent selection of game meats and non-pork sausages. Also really great staples from Europe.”
