I can't say enough wonderful things about this place! People making negative comments how many grocery businesses have YOU owned I worked for a large grocery chain for almost 40 years and I have raised my beef for how many years The prices are not outrageous, think about it you're in a town that has to get its products delivered not from next door and shelves are well stocked, you have anything you may have forgotten in the big city, you are not a chain grocery store, best of all the owner has worked hard to build what they have, the employees, the food and customer service is spot on!! I bought some hamburger as I was running out of mine and it was excellent AND it's not packaged meat it is fresh and affordable!! Thank you all who work there and to the owners and family...from, Melinda Witt...

This place has everything you need. We stopped for some jerky and fishing tackle and found just that. It also has groceries, liquor, sweaters, wood, and I think I saw a deli spot with hot food. This will be our spot to stop at from now on when we head out that way. Oh and the customer service was great. 😊

Everyone who worked here was amazing and super helpful in finding what I needed, even when it was in the back. The beer selection is great and the deli was delicious. The store is not inexpensive but very well stocked.

Within the last year, this market is went downhill incredibly fast. I was there yesterday and the produce on the shelves were rotten and they were still trying to sell it at at all-time record high. I tried to get help to find out how much things cost because Was priced wrong or not priced at all, but no one spoke English so I took everything up to the cashier Pamela, who was wonderful She is clearly overworked at it is very sad. I will never go there again.

One of the best grocery stores out there. I couldn't give them 5 stars because of one fatal problem.

I bought a 24 pack of Aquafina that tasted like plastic, so I dumped them all, and I recycled the bottles. I brought this to the attention of the manager about these water bottles being left out in the sunlight, and she didn't do anything about it.

I wash there often; therefore, I walk past the receiving department in the back. I saw with my own eyes she's leaving plastic water bottles out in the sunlight. Needless to say, I don't buy anything plastic with liquid in it from this place. I bought an expensive 4-stage reverse osmosis filters countertop water dispenser system capable of filtering everything, including arsenic, instead of buying water in plastic bottles.

Prices are HIGH. They brag about their meat and produce sections. They both look great with their display and variety. The veggies are simply veggies...no better no worse than most places.
Their meats though are very deceiving. I tried a smoked pork chop. Nice flavor but ridiculously dry. Total fail. Their hamburger looks nice but tastes odd. I did not like it, possibly the worst flavor hamburger I've ever had. Tried their chicken breasts, probably the best of the meats I tried. But again, not really better or worse than most places.
Tried their spareribs, and while okay tasting, they really screwed me on them. OVER half of it was unedible on both pieces, so much waste. Between the fat and the huge bone, maybe half was actually edible, certainly not more than half. You can see the price and waste in the photo below. It turns out to actually be OVER $8 a pound because of them selling you half fat and bone. WHAT A RIPOFF.
You guys have no right to brag. And I feel bad that the locals don't know any better....they are stuck having to buy from you.

I will say I was very impressed with the guy who manages the far end of the store in sporting goods. He did impress me.

I broke my sons fishing rod and went to Sierra Market looking for a replacement. The gentlemen in the tackle shop made a great recommendation which in turn caught us a beautiful trout. Thanks for the help!
