“Adams is top notch!! Staff, management and product have always been top notch. To the lady who posted about the store being closed when she got there after closing: They agreed ahead of time to allow you in at the time they close at 5pm because they knew you were coming a distance. Which is by itself a courteous gesture. And then you show up at 5:02 with no phone call letting them know you'll be later and they're closed. Then you rant about how inconvenienced you were and that they lost a customer. First of all, they didn't lose a customer...they lost a headache. Your absence is their aspirin. There's always your type who isn't happy unless the world works around only you. I work in customer service and understand how important it is to go the extra mile....and Adams Farm did. In the future respect everyone's time and leave sooner or go somewhere else”
“tiramisu was to die for and all the cookies i had were great! chai, honey butter and the pumpkin maple was my fave. staff was incredibly friendly helpful and kind”
“I really like Not Just Produce! Their steaks are out of this world. Whatever they use to spice their spicy chicken wings, they do a terrific job of it. Their twice baked potatoes are to die for. The Mexican dip they make is pretty dang good also. The hamburger is a cut above the rest. Let’s just say for a small store their prices are comparable and their meats are extremely tasteful. I’d be lost without them!!!”
“We have shopped at Market Basket Athol every week on Wednesday morning for the past several years, and travel 1/2 hour each way to do so because the values are so great. But two of the departments that require direct customer service, the deli/seafood dept and the prepared foods at the cafe (we often get lunch at the end) had really degenerated in the past few months. Service in both departments had gotten inattentive, slow and sometimes even rude. The quality of the prepared foods had gotten uneven and sometimes poor (sloppily made subs, overcooked chicken tenders, foods not available). But this past Wednesday there were new people manning these two areas, and our experience was very positive. Workers were quick, cheerful, energetic, and very courteous and competent.. It seemed there has been a shake-up in staffing, which positively affected our experience. And even our check-out experience was better than before, with new, more competent checkers and baggers. We hope these changes will continue! Shout out especially to the person who made our meatball sub, she was genuinely responsive, competent and upbeat, and I thanked her for that!! When you pair good value with great customer service, that’s a win in my book! Keep up the good work! (Note that not all of the “older” workers were lacking, and we saw that they were still onboard)”
“Travellers, nana’s country store is a hidden gem up in north orange. It is behind the boiler grille, which a review for another day. While there aren’t many breakfast restaurants in the north quabbin area, nana’s is a wonderful surprise. When you walk in the smell is delicious. And the coffee is very good too. They have a wonderful breakfast and lunch menu but they have some wonderful items on their breakfast menu. The sausage gravy is homemade. The portions are huge and the food is perfectly cooked. There are other things there too because it is a store. So it has many items and a wonderful baked goods section. If you want an off the beaten path through beautiful north quabbin go to nana’s. Check it out. We recommend.”
“So convenient and well stocked. Wholesome Farmers Market always has what we need, so we rarely need to venture out to a larger grocery store. Love that they have local products and a decent selection of organic foods.”

“Store has every thing u need really nice people work her personal experience you will not regret I will return to to. The a.1 mart I like this idea of one on one not this large chain store u cant get in and out of”
“Been going here since 1985, back when it was called Shop 'n Save (a long defunct New England grocery store chain). I miss the free cookie jar and the rows of hundreds and hundreds of VHS rentals, but still a great grocery store. Tapes are coming back.. Hannaford should jump on that, just saying.”
“Hannaford's is my go-to store in Gardner. Carries a variety of foods, reasonably priced. Check the flyers to be sure. Out of the 4 grocery options in town ( Walmart, Price Chopper & Aldi are the other 3), I like this one best”
“Pretty good Now that they rearrange the store it's a little hard to find the stuff but, The store is always clean and most of the time I can always get what I need there.”
“Reasonably priced and always clean! Staff is always friendly and willing to assist. pricing is pretty good for the location and equal to NH pricing if you consider the cost to have to drive to NH”
