“Today was an extremely hard day at the office for many of my staff. (local medical office) We called last minute to order some pizzas and explained this to the person at the pizza shop, they spoke with the manager to get approval to take a last minute order. They were able to accommodate us and we are most appreciative! This truly helped our staff moral and I can not thank the staff and management at the pizza shop enough for making an awful day a little more bearable!”
“When ever we are in Worcester, we make a point to stop in.
Excellent food in there.
We particularly love their marinated sirloin steak tip... perfect for the grill.
Nit to mention their Excellent wine selection.”
“Excellent place to buy organic and healthier foods, cheaper than other markets and have enough variety of foods
Furthermore, their staff is always friendly and very cordial.”
“i wish every grocery store ran this well.
the market basket experience is unparalleled in large part to their commitment to valuing their employees.
stores are stocked, check-outs are quick, every counter has at least one person helping customers at all times, all because of a well-trained and supported staff.
on top of all this, prices are some of the lowest i see around here.
market basket is almost always busy, though early mornings and late nights are less packed. if you're used to understaffed ghost-stores, market basket is not that!”
“The sandwiches here are AMAZING! The food here is only second to the service though. Thank you so much to the amazing Ava and Bridget who helped us with our delicious lunch!”
“It's fun to go to Aldi. The prices are better than other stores, although the selection is a little less than the huge grocery stores. I like the pizzas, cereals, coffee, and especially the seedtastic thin sliced bread!!”
“Lots of choices of authentic polish specialties. Many fresh made items including breads and pastries. English seems to be a second language for many staff, but we worked it out. Store was very crowded with customers, but everyone was polite, patient and waited their turn at the counter.”
“Gala Foods Supermarket in Worcester is one of those rare places that restores your faith in what a grocery store — and a community — can be. Every visit feels refreshing, abundant, and full of warmth. The energy here is bright yet gentle: colorful aisles, inviting lighting, and signage that feels caring rather than loud. Everything looks fresh, tastes vibrant, and is priced so fairly that you can shop with both joy and peace of mind.
My favorite part of Gala Foods has always been the deli — truly one of the best in all of Worcester (and I say that as a former deli worker!). Their sandwiches are made with love and precision, bursting with flavor and generosity.
I especially want to recognize Alfred, one of the deli staff members, who consistently went above and beyond. His kindness, humor, and genuine attentiveness turned an ordinary lunch stop into something special. He treated us not just like customers, but like guests, and you could tell he takes pride in making food that touches people’s hearts.
What stands out most about Gala Foods is the culture of care that shines through every person there. The whole team radiates friendliness and sincerity — it’s clear that leadership has created an environment where people love what they do and love who they work with. That kind of joy can’t be faked; it’s felt in every smile and every fresh, delicious bite.
The selection of Latin American foods is also outstanding — diverse, authentic, and beautifully presented. You can feel the pride and cultural richness that Gala Foods brings to the community.
Every time I left Gala Foods, I felt nourished not only in body but in spirit. I’m so grateful this place exists — it’s a true gem in Worcester and a reflection of everything good about food, people, and community.
If I could give more stars, I would.”

“We have been to their butcher shop multiple times in the last few months and all of our experiences have been top notch. Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about everything they sell. I asked for help in cooking a prime rib for my family and it was perfect!! I have asked for suggestions on other poultry and pork alike and have not been disappointed. It feels comfortable when you walk in by how u are greeted by staff. They are attentive to their customers by being engaging in conversation about what they are looking for today and how can they help you. We also go to their Deli that serves Boars Head products! They are also very friendly and eager to help you with anything you want. We order ahead as we travel from Hudson to W Boylston to go to S&S ! It's so yummy and my family will continue to shop here. The stores are both bright and clean! I'm impressed! Want to come to the Hudson/Berlin area!! Thank you for such great service and food!!”

“Since they have gone to bagging the veggies (3 peppers per bag), etc, I'm not as happy. Veggies/ fruits don't seem as fresh as before and it is so much nicer to pick the veggie/fruit you want. What about all the extra plastic that is producing and wasting on the environment??”
“Love the store. Love the selection. However, I didn't realize self checkout did not take cash and the employee working the area was EXTREMELY RUDE. If actually doing your job is that difficult, maybe she shouldn't work there.”
“THEY HAVE KNORR?
THEY HAVE KNORR.
THEY HAVE KNORR!

“This store was better than I expected. I have visited the Goldstar Blvd location and was less than impressed there. The staff were helpful and pleasant with finding things I was looking for and found someone who could understand me better when it was needed. They didn't have everything I was looking for though. Their prices were pretty good. You will need your own bags or pay for theirs. The self check out noticed the weight of my empty bags when I put them down while paying. The store was nicer looking inside than I was expecting and well stocked with what they did have.”
“They had more vegan options than I thought they would, and several that I hadn't seen elsewhere. We recently moved to the area so despite it being more expensive than Market Basket, this will be our new regular grocery store. (The nearby Price Chopper may do in a pinch, but just isnt as nice inside.)”

“Fresh produce and all pastries are baked in store. Cakes, cupcakes. Puff pastries, fruit bites, cinnamon rolls, bagels on Sunday, large muffins. Freshly baked bread”
“Great little local spot. They have everything you need in a pinch. Obviously, you're not doing your grocery shopping here, but if you need something quick, whether it's a prepared meal, deli meats, marinated meats to cook for an emergency family gathering (speaking from experience) beer, etc. they have you covered.”
“After several visits to A&T Halal Crispy Fried Chicken and Convenience, I am beyond impressed with both the quality of their food and the warm, welcoming service. Every dish I've tried, especially the crispy fried chicken, was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and left me craving more. The convenience aspect is just as commendable; it’s a one-stop shop for many essentials. The staff always greets me with a smile and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. It's clear they take pride in their establishment, and it shines through in every aspect. A must-visit for anyone in the area! 5 stars.”
“Absolutely love wallmart always find what I need in a one stop shop ! Prices are amazing and unbeatable, convenience is everything and they definitely provide that!”
“I have been to stores that sell Vietnamese products, but there is a general situation that fresh seafood is very unhygienic because it is not stored in a glass cabinet, the store has a very smelly smell. When I go to buy food, I feel that the store is not hygienic. It is recommended that the manager should put fresh seafood for sale in a glass cabinet to ensure hygiene, especially seafood products. The 3rd time I came here on a Sunday and found the store smells too bad, the rice place is very dirty and unhygienic.”
“Huge parking lot. Found everything that i needed but there were a few places in the veggie section that needed restocking. There is also a gas station on the premises.”

“Delicious fish and chips and this time We tried the platter! Yum!! Fresh and well cooked!!! I don’t know if they forgot the coleslaw or it’s different now but We ordered 4 dishes: 2 fish and chips and 2 platters and we didn’t get any coleslaw. I will ask next time because this was unexpected. That’s my reason for the 4 stars”
“Not a big 'supermarket', but they have the essentials. They have some really good meat & deli products such as marinated meats, deli meats & cheeses, a nice selection of greeting cards, some local merchandise, etc. They also carry a large selection of beer and wines.There's also a full-service Post Office counter in the store, so that's a plus too. It's nice to have a local market, especially one that has a really GREAT owner/operator. Carlos is a very personable and very accommodating local store owner! Just what a small town like Paxton needs.”
“Awesome place, owner is a great guy and they have a larger variety ranging from Spanish foods to toiletries. If you need anything chances are they have it! Hours are convenient for people who need to get something early or grab something late u forgot!. And they are still open Incase the previous reviewer made an honest mistake . They are still right on Belmont st Worceste, just names changes to three Js”
“I adore the no name store! Muhammad, Shanto, and Jose are the best. So kind and even though the store is small it's always clean. Can't recommend it enough- this is the first review I've ever written!”
“Here, folks do their jobs, they're on top of everything. Plenty of different items. If you need to grab a quick bite. They got a nice little station on the side where you can sit down and eat food is good and
A bunch of other little items they sell.I truly do like this location.”
“ANDIE AND JEFF ARE THE BEST OF THE GREAT PEOPLE THAT I KNOW FOR LONG TIME AND ALSO THE GREAT FOOD THEY'VE DONE IT IS FRESH AND REALLY GOOD TO EAT. PROBABLY HERE FOR A WHILE AND PUBLIC HEALTH IS VERY GREAT THAT PEOPLE GO THERE MUST OF A TIME.”
“It is for me a great place to shop I'm 72 years old and this is the closest supermarket that's close by my home I hope they don't close it on Market it's a convenient place for me to shop”
“Mashallah. Small but full of the best goodies from Iraq and other Arab countries including tea sets and Jordanian soap. Produce of top choice to give your dinner the authentic taste of "back home" flavors. Halal items as well.”
“Great experience every time we go. Multiple times they helped us to the car when my husband was on crutches. Just an amazing mom and pop store with good people. I'd rather support them than big businesses.”
