“Friendly staff, a spotless and welcoming environment, and produce that honestly beats anything you’ll find at local grocery stores. Their fruits and vegetables are always fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. And their bakery? Absolutely delicious. They surprisingly have the best black and white cookies you’ll find south of New York! You can really tell they take pride in the quality of everything they offer.”

“Went on Thursday morning last week with a car seat in the buggy I was packing groceries around. Usually I can get it all but today it was a bit fuller than usual with the holiday weekend coming up. The bagger and cashier worked together to fill another buggy with my groceries, pushed it out and helped me load my vehicle! Both ladies were so sweet and amazing. I haven't had a bad experience here and it's a very convenient location to the island.”

“What a great dining experience. Me & my 2 girlfriend's went here for dinner. I got the grilled shrimp on a skewer. They were cooked perfect. My friend got the crab dip & stuffed flounder. She said it was on spot.
Our waitress was great as well. I'm telling everyone about this place.”
“The service is super friendly. It is a small place, and it could use an update, but I was able to get everything I needed conveniently and was happy. Lots of parking. Feels like a small hometown supermarket where they get to know you and try to be a helpful as possible.”
“What can I say, but every worker here is pleasant and upbeat, and this place has saved me time going into surf city when I am missing an ingredient while baking/cooking. The owners are also just as pleasant as their staff. Thank you for this gem ? oh, and I love how they created the ice cream shop next door.”
“Complete supermarket. I fo6nd 3verything I needed on this trip with good prices and sales. Make sure you check-in your MVP account when you get to the store for the best deals.”
“Every time I come into the store there’s nothing but friendly employees and great tasting food. I highly recommend the steaks from the meat department, every time my family comes over we grow out and buy our steaks from Lowes Foods”
“Exceptional cleanliness and variety of every thing you can get. Freshest fruits and veggies by far. They also have a breakfast lunch and bar if your craving something while you shop. Couldn't ask for better service or selection. All that action cost a bit more on some things but its worth the experience. You get what ya pay for! Thanks Harris teet for making life so easy for us.”
“I went in for a few items last night and had to pleasure of doing business with a young man named Dean. He was my cashier and was extremely helpful and friendly. I always seem to encounter very hard working staff whenever I go there.”
“Lots of home decor items- frames, blankets, kitchen and bathroom towels, hampers, soap dispensers, etc. Also has gift bags, tissue paper, craft supplies, cups, reusable water bottles, soaps and other toiletries, nail polish, makeup, earphones/ear buds, small toys, seasonal decor, snacks, non perishable food, socks, t-shirts, and more.”
“I love the DG...Always Great Staff... I do have a problem with advertized savings and then don't get my discount at Checkout.. Marboro's advertized at a 1.30 off any 2 packs and I only got .25 off each pack..I'M buying 4 packs every day and that adds up to quite a bit of money...”
“The best old school supermarket! I'm a local and can always count on the IGA to have what I need. When we had the infamous 2022 hot sauce debacle where Siracha was NOWHERE to be found, the IGA came through. You can find whatever you need here and please give them some grace if the credit card machines go down. It's family run and they do an amazing job. A+++”

“One of my favorite grocery stores. Always buy stuff on sale. Grabbed a bucket of fried chicken. $5.99 for 8 pieces. Also got the cooked ribs for $9.99. Both were prepared on the same day I bought them. Also some potato salad, which was prepackaged. Liked it better when you used to be able to get it at the deli counter.”
“The staff at Atlantic food mart are awsome!!! Always have what i need and open great hours. They cater to the locals and love to see the vacationers when they arrive. Will deffinately be going back to spend my money with this local business!!”
“I had a great experience while shopping here bathrooms were clean and during my checkout process it was pretty fast and easy and I was helped while at checkout counter”
“This place is awesome. I wouldn’t say it’s the cheapest place to go, but in terms of what accessible on the south part of the island this is phenomenal including the members that work here, I definitely want to name drop Mrs Ellen, she is phenomenal and is always a helping hand anytime I come in here. She has a great charisma and attitude and it’s just a breath of fresh air in the morning to get my day going when I come in there to get my coffee. It’s never a bother to ask for questions and she’s always smiling, Smitty is great too! Definitely recommend this place and the people, the energy is great. They have a little bit of everything That you might need during your beach day/vacation.”
