“Less than a mile from Kings sits Bishop’s, quietly proving that two grocery stores can exist in the same town while operating in entirely different financial universes. Bishop’s used to be family owned, and even though it’s now part of a chain, it still feels like the kind of neighborhood grocery where someone might know your name… or at least remember your usual deli order. The store isn’t huge, but it’s well stocked in a way that suggests someone actually thought about what people in the area buy. You won’t find twenty-seven varieties of artisanal quinoa imported from a Scandinavian monastery, but you will find the things you actually need. And here’s the big difference compared with its nearby neighbor. The prices at Bishop’s do not require a consultation with your financial advisor. They’re not bargain basement cheap, but they’re noticeably lower than Kings down the road. It’s the kind of place where you can fill a basket without quietly wondering if you should have refinanced the house first. The deli is excellent. Properly run, good meats, good sandwiches, and the sense that they take it seriously without making a theatrical production out of it. The fried chicken deserves special recognition. Shockingly good. The kind of fried chicken that makes you pause mid-bite and reconsider your entire dinner plan for the evening. Crispy, flavorful, and absolutely capable of derailing any sensible meal prep intentions you had when you walked in. The cheese selection is good, though not as extensive as Kings. You won’t find quite the same international cheese diplomacy happening in the dairy case, but what’s there is solid. The real sleeper hit is the store-cured bacon. Excellent flavor, nicely done, and very capable of upgrading a Saturday morning breakfast from “normal” to “we should do this more often.” Overall, Bishop’s feels like the practical sibling in the family. Kings is the fancy cousin who shows up wearing linen and talking about olive oil regions. Bishop’s is the one who says, “Yeah that’s nice… but we also have great fried chicken and you can still afford gas on the way home.” A very good neighborhood grocery store. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you want.”
“Got the spicy chicken sandwich and fries and both were really good. The sandwich was crispy and flavorful, and the fries were fresh.. Everything came out fast and the staff were very polite and welcoming. I'll definitely order from here again.”
“Excellent customer service! When my first shipment was delivered I noticed that the produce wasn’t fresh enough. This was totally on the shipping company as they didn’t deliver the produce in a timely manner. It was supposed to be “2 day shipping” but unfortunately it took them 5 days to deliver. Upon contacting Basil Grocery, they immediately sent me the same produce with no charge. Unfortunately, the shipment company failed to deliver the produce in a timely manner again. I contacted Basil Grocery and explained them the issue. This time, they used a different company to ship the produce with no extra charge. They took full responsibility to ensure customer satisfaction. They were very quick to respond. I received my produce (Erik / plums) nice and fresh. I highly recommend Basil Grocery.”
“Always been a fan of Aldi Supermarket, great prices and a very easy store to shop in as opposed to places where they make sure you have to walk by everything to encourage impulse buying.”
“Marique was so helpful on my visit to ShopRite. He went out of his way to help you get my favorite flavor of a drink that was only in the back of the store. Nice guy and a hard worker.”
“I love this store! They are so nice and helpful and there's some good deals. Plus they have my soda flavor that I can't find at any of the stores closer to my house. I always stop in here every time I'm driving past that way.”
“I love this store. They have a lot of unique items that I don't see in other grocery stores. Definetly worth checking out. I make a 25 min trio once a month to stock up, especially cookies”
“My trip to the Latino Market was a pleasant surprise. The empanadas were fantastic. my first time trying them and they were delicious. I had a deep conversation in Spanish, which was a bit surprising they helped me translate back which improved my ability to speak Spanish. If you're open to unexpected cultural experiences, this market is worth it, but be ready for surprises because it's not like your normal ShopRite. Overall, I'd rate it 4 stars.”
“A bit pricey but worth it. Limited selection of really good products. Great Deli section, bakery & lots of fresh fruit & vegetables. The staff is also very friendly and helpful.”
