Food Basket is a long-running, family-owned one-stop-shop serving Silver City and surrounding areas. It is described as a great small grocery store and a convenient place to get gas, snacks, or weekly groceries. The store features a fully-stocked bakery, floral shop, deli, local produce, and is the only place in town to get dry ice. Many customers find the staff extremely friendly, kind, and willing to go the extra mile, which makes for a pleasant, less hectic shopping experience compared to other grocers. The deli's fried chicken and prepared items are frequently praised as good. However, experiences with service are mixed. Some employees are noted as rude or providing just OK service, sometimes spending more time talking to each other than assisting customers. Specific issues are noted in the deli, where orders can be wrong and some staff are described as having no personality or customer service. Some products, like jalapeno poppers, are often out of stock. While convenient, some prices are considered semi-high with a very limited organic selection. Concerns are also raised about freezer maintenance leading to icy or refrozen items, and customers advise carefully checking sell-by dates. A recent produce remodel is viewed as very modern but as having a reduced selection that discourages browsing.

The staff today were an absolute delight. Happy St. Pats! Found everything I needed plus some unique finds. Fitness bread! Less pricey than the bigger chains down the road.

Love that they carry the gluten-free Midel Chocolate Chip Cookies! There are some interesting foods in their health food aisle.
