“If you aren't shopping at the Grand Market, what are you even doing with your life? Haha
Seriously though, we are obsessed with this place. The guy who runs it is so friendly and helpful. The prices are more than fair and the selection is the best around. Do yourself a favor and stop in!”
“The staff is unbelievably friendly, the food is great and we have never had a single mistake made on our orders which are often fairly large and detailed in 'special requests'.”
“The Market at Bellair is an absolute gem! Their pre-made breakfast tacos are fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect grab-and-go option for a busy morning. The sandwiches are also top-notch, made with high-quality ingredients and always satisfying. On top of that, their rewards program is an incredible value, making it even easier to keep coming back. The staff is friendly, the selection is great, and it’s easily one of the best spots in town for a quick, delicious meal. Highly recommend!”
“This is an excellent grocery store in Charlottesville. In every aspect..far superior to the competition. You should definitely visit the market cafe if you haven't already. Wegmans wins!!”
“It was so cool shopping here, I'm excited to return. Love the fact that they had options for pasture-raised organ meats. The scrapple was so delicious and nutritious!
edit: hope the turkey offal sticks around; fool-proof to cook and a great price too, thank you”
“Good local corner market. Nice selection of niche items. You'll pay for the selection and proximity. Sandwiches are good but don't expect to get one if they are very busy, outside of lunchtime, or within an hour of closing. Good place to pick up a few needed groceries.”
“Lovely store. Looks a little dated on the outside, but inside it’s clean and organized. Good selection for Chinese veggies, tofu products, dumpling, sauces, spices, and frozen products. It doesn’t have a fresh meat or seafood counter but I typically get those from other grocery stores anyway.”
“I recommend checking dates on things before you buy them. A lot of stuff is expired. What is not is a great selection of things overall, cheap prices and kind staff. Very quick checkout process and was not too crowded. Just remember to bring a quarter!”
“I live right next to a Food Lion in Ruckersville, but I'll drive to this location because the store is much cleaner, the staff are genuinely concerned about the customers. The location near me not even close to looking as clean as the other location, and the staff are the absolute worst. It's like they're there because they need to be, not because they want to be. Not a friendly environment.”
“Stopped by while travelling to grab a quick sweet treat. The bakery worker there was very polite, kind and helped us with the desserts and walked with us to show us where the utensils were. Just prior to that we had stopped by a coffee shop where the barristas made their contempt known through their facial expressions. My family will not be going there again.
But Harris teeter gained one and we will definitely be stopping by for the great selection of products and fantastic customer service.”
“Workers are fantastic ?? the store stays stocked up. Can't ask for anything more and can't please everyone. I remember when I first moved to Charlottesville Va went to Food Lion in Pantops I asked this black lady with pretty long black hair, kind of short, she always came out the side door by the deli sometimes she worked the cash register or in the customer service area, I asked her to help me on the machine for the Food Lion card. She stopped right there on the spot and helped me until it was finished. I was having a bad day with my moving to Charlottesville Va, she brighten up my day with her kindness that was awesome ?? she was so very caring ? thanks so much... almost forgot to tell y'all that.☺️”
“Go to Safran in the back!!! Foods of all nations is the best grocery store and the new addition of the Moroccan restaurant is so great. The owner is unbelievably kind and his falafel is SO GOOD.”
“Whomever decorated this cake in the bakery department did a phenomenal job! This was a birthday cake for our boss. She is afraid of chickens. This was the perfect gag gift/cake for her. The look on her face was priceless! Thank you for the perfect chicken cake!”
“Very clean, delicious things to choose from. The cashier was very helpful with my Amazon discount. I went to work and on break ate the salad I bought which was very fresh. I enjoyed it”
“A quiet and cozy place. And comfortable environment. And very friendly service.. Thank you?? for your work? and service. God??? bless you always??”
“The manager, Mike, was so helpful, kind, AND FUNNY! I didn’t imagine that I’d have so much fun grocery shopping after work. He helped me find all the things I couldn’t. Thank you, Mike!!”
“Nothing fancy but everything you need on the cheap.
I swear though, they have someone follow me around and discontinue all the things I buy! I guess it makes me try new things but I still go elsewhere to pick up my favorites that they've closed out.”
“Interesting treasure trove of spices, halal meats and prepared foods from international markets. I can heartily recommend the frozen garlic naan bread if you make your own curries?.”

Grocery Stores
“-Huge variety of African products
-fresh grilled mackerel is delicious
-large selection of frozen meats and fresh veggies
-very friendly owners willing to help with anything”
“I've been shopping here for basically my entire life now, either with my parents on my own, and one thing I sincerely appreciate is how little the store changes the layout. Changes come and go, but I know that everything is going to be in more or less the same place every time I shop. As a result, I do basically all my shopping here. Consistency is something I really appreciate, and I always find it at Giant.”
“Best place to get bamboo and awesome little treats you cant find elsewhere. They have chichory coffee, togarashi and dark soy sauce. It has what you need to level up your asian recipes.”
“Food Lion is my favorite grocery store. It is conveniently located within 1 mile of my home. Helpful, polite employees. They clean the floors everyday and keep the shelves stocked. The produce is fresh and the deli adds to our personal experience. The prices are very competitive. Get the Food Lion card to get even better prices.”
“It was a clean and organized grocery store. I wish there were more sushi and sub sandwich selections. There was a good selection of meats, snacks, drinks, and dairy products.”
“Quiet little local shop with many food items based out of Mexico. A wonderful kitchen cooking up working man dishes of Latino flavor and money services to Latin America.”
“I always swing by when I’m up that way on the way to work and get breakfastMost of the time I call ahead a little bit ahead of time, so I don’t have to wait but the bacon egg and cheese croissant can’t be beat LOL”

One of the nicer convenience stores in the area.”
“Still the best gas and cheapest for Kroger card members around. Just buying from Kroger with my groceries, no complaints with those and prices either, plus I think another place I usually get about 30cents to $1 off fuel. Depends on how much I spend at the grocery store. It's no big deal, need to eat but saves me at the pumps!”
“Have been using Giant for the past 10 years since my sister inlaw shared her experiences with me. By far the best in the area. I have moved to another county, but still use Giant. 5 stars!”
“Very welcoming atmosphere, the employees are good people and their smile goes without saying. I also find bread, cookies, and peppers there. And well, to send money to Mexico, equally. Very good place”
“We are big fans of Trader Joe's and try to visit whenever we see one. We've been to the few locations in San Antonio, the one in Cary, North Carolina, and now this one in Charlottesville, Virginia. This one is smaller, so didn’t have few things but it has plenty of parking—and since it was Saturday, it was packed. and plenty of parking; since it was Saturday, it was packed.”
