Wards was always a staple when I lived in town. Good deals and a pretty solid selection of food, snacks and beers! I was meeting a buddy and he asked me to pick up a sandwich for him on my way. He also directed me to get some beer. Wards always has a six pack or two on sale so it's nice to try something you normally wouldn't at a discounted price. Their beer selection is pretty good so there were lots of other things that caught my attention. Check out was easy and everyone working at Wards was friendly and happy.

Overall, this is my favorite grocery store. It's locally owned, not a chain, offers bulk goods (spices, beans, grains, etc) that can be special ordered in large quantities a fabulous selection of beers at good prices, and the wine choices are good, too. The produce section is extensive with a large section of organic produce, often times locally grown. They also have a discount produce bin, which is great for soup making or that day use. They also have a fine selection of plants, from flowers to vegetables, some hard to find. Downside is parking. It can be a little hairy if you want to park in front of the store. It's also often crowded, but that's because it's so popular here.

I am so pleased with Ward's, it has become my primary source for groceries. In addition to produce, meats, and dairy, they have a good selection of bulk foods, such as beans, rice, dried fruit, and herbs. I only go to other stores if Ward's doesn't have what I need.

Probably the down homiest supermarket in existence! Love this place for how much you feel like family by literally just shopping here. I make a consistent stop to just get some kombucha from the local brewer they have on tap. This place is an incredible selection of local produce and high quality groceries

One of the tried and true establishments of this town. They have a great atmosphere, and a curated selection of goods that are hard to find elsewhere in Gainesville. Great local coffee selection, local wines, and local beers. The butcher is fully functional, so you can get basically any cut of meat you could want. Support local!

I love this small family owned grocery store. They carry a fair selection of natural and organic products and they have very knowledgeable staff. The meat department is awesome as is their produce. Definitely one of my go-to stores I Gainesville and I do enjoy supporting small businesses like this one.

Wards has been my favorite store in Gainesville for years now. I've made 5 star reviews in the past, but for some reason they have been removed. So, I'm here again to say this store is amazing! Their selection of fresh produce, the plants, the meat section. I was excited to finally find some pink guava! All very reasonable prices too. They have prepared hot foods like smoked meats and side dishes like Mac and cheese, collards, macaroni salad and more. I've tried them all and they are delicious! Don't forget to grab one of their homemade cookies on the way out. The peanut butter cup cookies are my absolute favorite! The people are oh so very nice. I never leave Gainesville without stopping here first!

Locally owned and operated. This is your old timer grocery spot. Closest thing to farm fresh veggies, grab and go options, the wine section is wonderful and the plants are always so healthy and happy. You can get vegan grocery items and bulk items. Plenary of parking , but small inside. Not the place to buy paper towels, etc. Stick to food items.

Ward's Supermarket in Gainesville offers an exceptional shopping experience with its abundant and fresh selection of produce and meats. Their commitment to quality is evident through their wide array of organics. What truly sets them apart is their impressive variety of spices sourced from around the world, making it a local gem for culinary enthusiasts.

Great place to buy plants, fresh produce, meats, fish, and everything one usually finds at the market. We love that they carry holistic products such as essential oils and body care items. We also love to support a local business ?

I love the vibe at Ward's. It is truly a community market where you can find produce that is not available anywhere else. Their meat is top quality, good wine and chocolate selection, and the BEST chicken salad in town.
