“It's definitely the best grocery shop EVER, excellent selection of products, fair prices, and best of all, the store's customer service is spectacular, always very kind and helpful both in the store and over the phone!!!”
“While Stop and Shop is probably marginally cheaper, it doesn’t have the Vineyard feel that Cronig’s Market boasts. As soon as I stepped in, I could tell this was a grocery store on the Island, as opposed to a Stop and Shop that could be anywhere, just a little scrunched up. The prices are high to be sure, but so is the quality. They also have some nice touches, like an excellent floral selection and MVY postcards. If and when I return to Martha’s Vineyard, this is where I’ll be getting my groceries.”
“BEST Italian food around. I'm a local but never remember that they are here at new location. I THINK THEY WOULD DO SO MUCH MORE BUSINESS IF THEY GOT A REAL LARGE SIGN AT THE ROAD then I would remember to go more often!!! A wonderful place to eat.”
“The delivery is amazing! Clean & fresh ingredients, fast wait times, and a great selection. Joe was great with service, didnt skimp on the toppings and toasted it just right. Definitely coming back!”
“Great little market in the heart of Oak Bluffs. They have just about everything you need and their prices are very competitive. Oh and their chicken and beef are excellent.”
“Family Foods Steak & Cheese is nothing short of legendary. The roll is perfectly delightful — holding together a flawless balance of juicy steak and rich, gooey cheese. Not too much, not too little… just pure perfection. Every bite is indulgent, melty, and comforting in the way only a truly great sandwich can be. The cheese blankets the steak so beautifully it literally melts in your mouth and makes you stop mid-bite to appreciate it. If you’re craving the ultimate steak & cheese, this is the one.”
“We were so thankful to have Black Sheep as our wedding caterer for a ~150 person wedding with a tented dinner reception. We were so impressed by Mel and her staff and they were a key part in making our wedding day a success. Their service was very professional and the food was so delicious - we received so many positive comments on it, especially for the salmon and short ribs! The passed apps were really tasty too. We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!”
“This store has quickly become my go-to for grocery shopping! The prices are unbeatable, and the selection is always fresh and diverse. The staff is friendly and super helpful, making every visit a pleasant experience.”
“I went to the store to have a screen saver replaced and get a new band for my Apple Watch. Yhe band snapped off and I did not know if it could be replaced. I was concerned that I would have to buy a new watch. In under 5 minutes the screen was replaced and a new case and band was put on the watch. Total cost of $30 plus tax. Great service at a very affordable price.”
“OMG. I struggle to express the delight this place gave me. The butcher was notably welcoming and even cut the picanha for us, while the kind cashier offered a similar warmth - keep going and you will succeed. I hope she reaches New York one day, as that was her ambition. I was pleased to buy Brazilian goods that mirror my neighborhood along with amazing service from the staff. I genuinely wanted to give this special acknowledgment to these two employees. They were remarkable people.”
“North Tisbury Farm is out of a storybook. It is the most quaint, dreamy farm stand. The selection is so thoughtful, curated, and high quality. It's an elevated grocery experience that we are lucky to have. The food is fresh, the baked goods are delicious, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who lives here or is visiting!”
“I had the most amazing experience with Jackie and her crew!! Their kindness and hospitality know no bounds and if you’re ever in a pickle I highly recommend visiting and asking for help! They have your back!!!”
“Don't miss the Reuben at Woods Hole Market. 🥪 It's super tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best around. Take your food to the back seating area for a great view while you eat. Highly recommended”
“Awesome spot. Great products. Not only worth a visit, but absolutely essential as a resource for kitchen necessities and products you won't find in a grocery store.”
“Tony's is a great convenient market for all your grab and go needs!! They have a great selection of basics and a wonderful deli. Thankful for Tonys in town!!”
“Get the hard dough bread... Do not leave without getting some spicy rolls or bread!... Be certain to get an empanada.... Do not cheat yourself make sure you get some Jamaican gingerbread cookies. This place is a local secret! It also happens to be the only Western Union on the island... It is set back off the road just to the left of the gas station it has its own little parking spot. Go for the empanadas stay for the smiles!”
“The location is fine. The size of the store is small but fine. Parking lot very good. Employees are friendly (some of them). The pantry could be better. Warmer and fresher “ salgados”.”
“Some cart guy ran at me in the lot to take my cart back. 11/10 service. Was parked right next to the cart thing too. Dono what he’s on but I wana be on it too.”
“After the Fish House closed for the season, I started coming here for my salmon. A bit more expensive but it's always nice to grab their steak sandwich and a Starbucks drink on the way out. Very friendly customer service every time I go.”
“Shout out to Jamison and the guys and gals for their excellent service of a massive order for our wedding back in October. They were honest, timely, and accommodating through the entire process. We are so appreciative and absolutely recommend Your Market for any party planning needs!”
“One of the best outlets of Stop and Shop that caters this island's population.The showroom was very big and beautiful containing countless number of items to purchase.”
“A True Martha’s Vineyard Gem! The Chilmark General Store is the heart of the community and an absolute treasure on Martha’s Vineyard. Whether you’re grabbing a fresh coffee in the morning, picking up one of their legendary pizzas, or just browsing the well-curated selection of local goods and essentials, this place has everything you need. The porch is the perfect gathering spot — relaxed, welcoming, and full of island charm. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the vibe is as authentic as it gets. A perfect stop for locals and visitors alike. Can't wait to go back!”
“Can't say enough about this place. A treasure trove of crafted merchandise made locally and in places like Maine. Old fashioned goodies coupled with mighty cool gourmet foods and condiments. Shopping here for any age is easy. Big children's section. You can satisfy friends, family - truly something for everyone. Beach supplies, kitchen finds, decorative and personal items. Staff here treat everyone so so well. Can't heap enough praise on the whole experience.”
“This is my store. I love the regular longtime staff at Stop and shop, especially the produce guys. They take their time to help you. I see the diligence in their work, as I do with many of the long time employees who take their job seriously and they do it with integrity. I am so grateful for my Edgartown newly expanded Stop and Shop.”
“Shop & Stop was great. The team is very cooperative and helpful. Some blueberries spilled from my box as was not properly locked, immediately a staff/support person stepped in and offered to replace it with a new box.”
“Had a great trip to Falmouth this week..Waze took me on ways that I never knew were ways before..I hope she knew something that I didn't know about why we didn't take the more expeditious route..She took me down twisty, curvy, turnsy narrow residential streets, roads, lanes, drives, pathways, etc with lots of tight right turns and switchback lefts for a long time before I finally got to where at I was going t go..I usually have very good situational awareness but I lost my orientation early on and didn't have time to stop and check trees for moss growing on the north side..Was very thankful that when I finally got there, I was very close to where I wanted to be..Had a great lunch at Casa Vallarta Mexican Restaurant..Great waitress Ana did an excellent job and provided excellent service and made the whole experience very pleasurable..She is a great booster for the restaurant..Thanks, Ana..The food was well prepared, well presented, very generous servings, and very reasonably priced..The bean dip that came with the nachos was to die for..That could have been my lunch..I hope it was nutritious because it was delicious..Thanks, Chef..I look very much forward to going back to Casa Vallarta Mexican Restaurant again, the next time I'm allowed to go that far away from home..After lunch, I went to Walmart..Another great experience..The greeter engaged me in conversation while I set up the electric shopping cart..Very nice lady..Thank you for your kindness..Walmart is a massive store, of course, but it is well laid out and with plenty of room to navigate up and down the aisles..I was very happy that I was able to find everything I was looking for at good Walmart prices..On the way out, there was another greater saying goodbye..Does shopping get any better than that?.Talked to the store manager briefly..She is a wonderful ambassador for Walmart..She is relatively new to the company but comes with 30 years of experience in retail..Walmart is very lucky to have her on its team..The drive home was more expeditious even though it took me by the two flash points at both bridges over the Canal..Thank you, Waze..Very happy when I was home safely..What a wonderful trip, what a wonderful day; how wonderful it is to be alive..”
“I've never encountered ANY staff here who was less than really helpful. Yes, the aisles are tight, and you have to go thru to the back section to find toiletries and health items (which you could get yourself at Leslie's Pharmacy right up the street). This is a GROCERY STORE, not a drug store. ( And I'm assuming you are disabled, and therefore cannot manage the trip to the room in back of the regular store.)Don't like being squeezed in the aisles? I suggest shopping in the upscale, tony food and toiletry shops up-island. (They might be a tad more expensive.) Or go back home to whatever suburban utopia you came from.”
“This Cronigs location serves the up island area of Martha's Vineyard, so their uniquely positioned to provide food and products. They are limited by the space available?, however manage to provide a good selection and very fresh produce, meats, poultry and bread. They are adequately staffed and go out of their way to help and accommodate your needs. Recently the owner retired and sold store to their manager...service never faltered.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
