We shop here often. It is locally owned and that's what I like best. Prices are reasonable. As with everywhere we shop for food, always check the expiration date on the products you intend to buy.

Always has great prices on glass cokes. The one in Decatur does not and will not match prices

Best meat prices I've seen in a while. Clean, well organized. This was my first time at the store. Bye-bye Publix.

I love this place! Friendly workers. Excellent selection of various products. They don't carry omeprazole but there's a Dollar General in the same parking structure that DOES. Prices vary on the item but most items are fairly cheap and they have a 5 for $25 deal on meats and other acceptable items. EBT is accepted on most items. Always has a large milk selection...I don't think I've EVER seen them low on milk. 😂 Eggs of every variety. Breads of every kind. Full drink selection. And they have simple t-shirts for kids and adults for $1! They no longer cash certain checks due to people being greedy and trying to trick them by taking a pic of their check and cashing it via mobile banking and taking the ACTUAL check and cashing it with them as well. So I get it. There's a little check cashing place in the same structure as well it is the business beside the antique/furniture store closest to the road. There's also a Redstone if you cross over Highway 72 at the Burger King light though...its less than 6 min away and It's on the left past the gas station and KFC. I love the helpfulness and pure DECENCY of the people they tend to hire here! NOOOOOOOOOBODY has ever made me feel any way but cheerful when I leave...EVER!

The employees were very friendly. Glad to stop by and will probably go back. Very kind to out of state people.

They are not very friendly, the energy is uncomfortable, the employees just stared at me instead of asking if they can help or getting someone to help. They are young cashiers but the management could do better as well. It's really important to make people feel welcome in these types of businesses, Ill probably just lay off this place for a while.

We usually get our groceries from here! I love the selection, fresh fruit and veggies, fresh meat, and they usually have a good stock of everything. My favorite is the cakes they have. Great prices and friendly staff! I prefer the Jefferson St. Hometown over the one on 31. 10/10 recommend.

Nice store good selection of products but not safe for women with purses. My mom had hers stolen from here and when we went to the DMV the lady said another woman had hers stolen from this same store a week before my mom's was stolen. They said they checked the cam footage but his details he told us was wrong. He said the wrong parking space and that my mom walked over to the DG store she did not so I'm not sure who he saw or if he even looked. We drove to the DG on 99 and found out her purse was gone. When she had exited hometown some guy made lots of noise at the carts and guess another person grabbed her purse when she turned to look. Great store but don't take a purse in and if you do secure it to the cart some how.

Ladies in the back cooking has the best food. They tucked in the corner so if you know you in if you dont you missing out. Try to call in a order on dressing day ,they sell out fast

The meat is the main reason I go there....5 for $25 is such an AMAZING deal!! I'm single so I can make those 5 pkgs into at least 8-9 meals!The staff is always friendly and helpful, too! We are living in a world where service seems to be a thing of the past, but not at Hometown! They are awesome 👍👍

Very nice and friendly people. Everyone is always willing to help. Cashiers are always smiling and giving a fast checkout.

Great prices and deals. Cashiers are friendly. Have had several baggers just throw things into the cart without a care though (typically they're preoccupied with chatting up cashiers rather than doing their job), would definitely prefer to bag/load my own groceries.

The owners are great. Prices are alright. They have some good sales. Bathrooms are not always the cleanest which I can't blame on the workers. They can't be everywhere. I put the blame on the public. People go in there and make a huge mess often. It has been that way for years. I wonder what type of people want to go in and trash these public restrooms that are there to serve us, the public. I wonder if these people have children because when I carry my child on there and the bathroom is torn to shreds and has filth all over I have to get my child to either hold it, (which they can't always do) or I have had to clean up the mess myself. I think you should treat a public restroom like you know the next person to use it will be your own flesh and blood.It is what it is called.. Your Hometown Market!

Locally small town grocery store, and if you live in Athens AL. you know the place I'm sure. We as a family have always shopped here they used to have very good quality food and meats , however the last few times we went I bought meats, cause I love firing up the smoker and cooking some good food for any occasion lol, but when I opened the meats they smelled like rotten eggs and it was multiple packs of pork chops and ribs , had some kind of nasty grady white substance on them and smelled like 3 day old rotten eggs !! So just a warning if you get the meats its a possability you may have a similar experience lol and thats not fun when you drop 50 dollars on meats and throw away 5 packs of the ten you bought!! Other than that it is a great grocery store been around d a long time and I'm sure whatever was wrong they are taking care of it as for me I just wont buy no meats from there for a couple months give them some time to figure it out lol !!!

i went here a while ago. this place is so threatening. i don't know if it's the plain white walls or if it's the outdated equipment, but oh boy does it add to the atmosphere. the entire got damn store looks like the manifestation of my fever dreams. i love it so much. 10/10.

Exceptional staff. Always friendly & eager to help. Especially appreciate the diversity of goods available in the Hispanic section. Only wish they carried more vegetarian meat substitutes in the frozen food section.

Southern hospitality, fresh cut meat, people just waiting to help you. You don't have to check yourself out, bag your groceries, nor carry them to the car. Always get a thank you along with you have a Blessed Day.

This place is always good to shop at. Don't let the old look fool you. The workers there are super friendly and helpful and typically the layout of the store hasn't changed any since I was.a kid so stuff is easy to find.
