“I was going to give this location a five star rating however I ate one of their “fruit freezey bars” and there was no message on the popsicle stick :/ ehh, there customer service was top notch, great job!”
“The inside of the store is very clean and tidy, and the products are high-quality and fresh. The customer service is always excellent. What more could we ask for?
Thank you”
“I just had the most kind experience ever. Wilfredo is an amazing person. His positive energy, kindness and his geniuen care for others really made my day. Today I was specially having a rough day because of my mom not feeling well. And his great customer service really made a difference. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Not as big and organized as the one in Ellicot City. Parking is compact and not as plentiful. During high volume times the produce and seafood it gets congested and chaotic. Otherwise they have most everything for Asian groceries and gift shop.”
“I love Roots and highly recommend this store for a number of reasons. I have been shopping at Roots since it opened and can bear witness to their consistent commitment to make the shopping experience better for every customer. I live approximately 1 hour away but make the trip a couple of times a month to shop here. Why do I drive so far? Because the customer service, selection and sales are top tier! I will share just some of my experiences shopping at Roots Market.
I am a healthcare professional who worked through the pandemic. At a time when we didn’t know much about the virus, I decided that it was best if I did not enter the store for the staff’s and customer’s safety. I would arrive after a long shift with scrubs on. I stood outside of the door with a list. The team members would collect my list and gladly shopped for my items bringing them outside to me. Additionally, every item that I have ever requested has been brought in without hesitation. I have been a plant based traveler for over 3 decades and often have opportunities to try a variety of new products. I have requested everything from Rebel and Dare plant based cheese to Abbots plant based proteins. Within weeks they were all there!
I regularly place orders for cases of unique items like soy free tofu and coconut cherry yogurt . They are happily fulfilled! I always receive a call within days informing me of products arrival.
I have done a comparison at other local stores and can honestly say Roots market has the area’s largest selection of plant based goods. Whether you are making a charcuterie board or a lasagna they have you covered.
Additionally, their sales and every day value products are amongst the best of any locally owned grocery store.”
“Boarman's is great! They offer a great selection of quality meats, awesome service at competitive prices. I live further away now, but try to get their as often as possible. My family has been shopping their for generations. We love that it's a family run business.”
“Easily the best grocery store in the area. I’ve been here dozens of times and have never thought to leave a review, but had to today after having Laura check us out at the registers. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. The attention to detail, the thoughtfulness, just an all around wonderful person. She deserves all the recognition!”
“Incredible Indian market and kitchen. Get the buffet and dine in! They have everything here and the staff are very kind and generous. I’ll be going back.”

“I go here all the time and its my go to, but recently got a half cow here for an amazing price with amazing quality on all the steak, the fat is yellow and you can tell it's grass fed and a well-treated healthy animal.
But I called one day in advance, they had the cow ready by the next day and the process was super quick, easy and affordable, and the owner plus all the employees there are great people, very respectful and helpful.
No more trips to the grocery store for a couple months thanks to them, and the quality is 100x better than grocery store meat, you can feel a genuine difference in the energy and focus it gives you, I give them an 11/10 and recommend to anyone.”
“Emasculate Clean Store, very well organized, ample parking space, phenomenal staff and excellent customer service. Their prices are very reasonable and they have everything to meet consumers need.

Steve is excellent, have great customer service, and friendly which Moms Organic needs.
Because of Steve, I have been lifelong Mom’s Organic store (at Jessup, Maryland) customer and I know talent when I see Steve and want Mom’s Organic store to succeed. Steve goes above and beyond to satisfy customers needs, and he makes sure to bring smile to every customer. Everyone loves Steve as he shines on the sales floor at Mom’s organic.
Thanks again Mr. Steve. You are the best. Keep up the excellent work. All 5-stars are honest and well deserved.
Very Respectfully,
Mobeen”
“I used to love this place, but the prices are through the roof. Still, some items are cheaper than buying on Amazon. It still provides dairy products that are NOT offered anywhere else, and is a cut above other health food stores. But too many times the items I go there to get are sold out. We rely on it for dairy. Has lots of pasture raised products. Two bags of groceries can easily run $200.”

“We are not residents of this area and just needed a few things for dinner and breakfast. We got way more than what we came for withing $5.00 of budget.
Everyone (customers and employees) were friendly and helpful. If I lived in this area, Food Lion is where I would shop. 🛒”
“One of my favorite places to go. Has the best candy section and nutrients isle. The prepared fruits section could be better and the prepared ready cut veggies are ok. But that is becoming a common issue for most stores. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Parking lot is a little tight but ok.”

“I’m usually in and out but they regularly have what I need. Never had an issue with employees here! One tip would be getting a self check out or hire more clerks to make the experience smoother. The latter would be the better move so folks keep jobs.”
“This charming corner store is a piece of local Oella history. Jay was very kind, and made a delicious homemade hamburger with homemade sauce and fresh locally butchered meat.”

“Really cool beer selection. Plenty of cold beer too! Lots of different regional wines to choose from. As well as snacks and other little last minute essentials you might need. Think bodega but bigger. This place is a four corners staple.”
“Cashier was so quick! Never going back to the Walmart across the street where the Indian employees look at you as if you'd stolen something just for not being Indian.”
“Great local grocery store that is a real throwback in an era of only chain supermarkets. Staff really get to know the customers and you can get some great deals if you go in open to cooking whatever the sales are. Incredible wine department for a small store!”
“Looking to save money on your grocery bill? The Commissary at Ft. Meade is a great alternative to larger grocery stores with a variety of options for customers to choose from. The staff is friendly and responsive to needs. The Commissary offers a meat department with organic and vegan options, deli department with Boar’s Head brand meats and Sara Lee (low sodium) brands, fresh seafood display, pet supplies, and baby supplies. Convenient located off of highway 32.”
“Well-stocked Indian grocery store with a great selection of items. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is helpful. A reliable spot for authentic Indian ingredients.”
“The prices here are often lower per unit quantity than most other grocery stores in the region. I often visit here for discounted food items that are often more than two months from expiration.”

“this store is awesome. I’ve never actually been here but I always drive by when going to Costco. This is Aldi and they have a good prices but just not about as good as Costco I couldn’t go in because I didn’t have a cooler to put in my cart and I need a quarter a quarter a quarter but overwatch just like a great store and it’s so it looks clean on the outside but I don’t know about the inside but I’ve heard they have good prices so definitely just really like a good like a good go to place on your shopping.”
“This store has to be the busiest store. Locally for Aldi. This store suffered a detriment to its efficiency when the Self-Checkout lanes were eliminated. The reason given was that shoplifting was rampant and profits were affected. However, in order to handle the large amounts of customers more than 2 checkout lanes need to be open at all times. It's often discouraging for a shopper that has an small amount of items to see a line backed up to the Aldi finds isle upon entering the store. Perhaps they can revisit the Self-Checkout in another capacity. Maybe similar to the system at Primark where you have to scan your receipt to exit. In this case you have 1 employee to overwatch multiple registers. In this age of automation surely the German based company can devise a new system rather that having to revert after making such progress in grocery store efficiency.”
“Great selection of specialty foods from, no surprise, around the Caspian. My Eastern European family can find the uncommon imported foods and ingredients we need. I bought pickled cabbages, sour cherries, two of five (!) types of eggplant spreads, some spicy pickled veggies. Good stuff.”

“Excellent shop. Fish & meat delicious & I love this shop. Cutting section excellent. All Asian people as well as other people should visit & buy product from this shop.”
“The meat here is very fresh and affordable. Very polite staff here. And a very wide choice for (desi) supplies. They got almost everything from Asia. I would recommend this store for people who love freshness and quality! From now on i’m a regular costumer here.”
“Becoming my favorite place to shop in the area. Not very crowded and and they have many human checkout stations Prius they are fast and friendly. I don't even remember seeing a self checkout. Overall a very clean store with lots of stuff.”
