Great when it isn't full of tourists. Well stocked, they definitely have the better cut steaks on the mountain.

Long lines but fast checkers, and they're very friendly. I am looking forward to there being more competition up here however! Update.. more competition came in the form of Grocery Outlet but unfortunately you can't really count on what they're going to carry from week to week, so i end up going to both stores.
