Another small town store where prices are very expensive went to go get frozen bubba burgers 19.98 no thank you walked out and took that 3 mile drive to Walmart for 13.97 priced these small stores that operate where there is not another store around prey on secluded areas where there is not another grocery store around

The best grocery store for locals. They have THE BEST meat quality and deals and their Deli section is next level! Hands down the best Fried Chicken in the County. Don’t forget to ask for the JoJo’s!

This place is clean and friendly. The staff is helpful and they even have little carts for the kids. The best part is being able to get in and out quickly ..... Its totally worth an extra buck to avoid trudging through Walmart

Very helpful staff - everyone is friendly and willing to go above and beyond to meet your needs! The bakery is top-notch! Their cakes, brownies, donuts, danishes, and cookies are delicious! And prices are good too! I highly suggest shopping here. Produce is fresh, and shelves are full and contain a good assortment. Across the street is a place for soft serve ice cream - what a bonus!!

Handy Foods is the greatest. They have the best stuff, hot food like chicken and tenderloins. And it’s nice when your local grocery store has prices that compete with “having to go way up north.”

I like shopping here. Their meat section is very clean and has variety. The fresh foods section is not very big but it always has everything I need. Oh and they have people who can help you load your bags in the car, I just wish I had cash on me to tip her.

Great locally owned grocery store with reasonable prices. Excellent fresh produce, terrific meat selection, and friendly staff keep my wife and I coming back frequently. If you enjoy Italian sausage make sure to check out their Valesano's sausage. It's a local recipe that was passed on to them and is a superb addition to any cookout!

Great place to shop. Excellent service and best of all, Mask are required . To protect customers and employees from spreading of a virus. For people opposed there has always been No Shirt No Shoes No Service and lately for security, No Hoods worn inside. It's all about health and safety .

This is one of my favorite grocery stores. The staff are very pleasant and helpful and they have a nice bakery and deli. It has a great homestyle atmosphere unlike the other two (Walmart and Kroger). I prefer the more relaxed and friendly feel over assembly line shopping.

Good for convenience, and the deli is delicious. Expect to pay a lot and slow checkout.

Place is clean. The food is fresh. Employees are helpful and friendly. Their prepared lunch main dishes, salads, and deserts are remarkable and worth trying. Some can goods, dairy products, and mostly brand name items have a higher mark up than other larger super markets a mile away, and that is why I give handy foods four stars.

I just moved here a few weeks ago. I tried another grocery store first. Did not care for it. Handy foods is a really nice grocery store. Friendly and helpful staff. They have a nice bakery, deli with fried chicken and a nice selection of sides. Those seem to be hard to find around here. I bought meat also. Just went today, so I haven't tried the meat yet, but it looks high quality. Also, they had somebody ready to follow me and load the groceries in my car ! This will definitely be my new grocery store.

This is my FAVORITE place to buy my groceries. It is run by one of the nicest families ever!! They always have plenty of cashiers and baggers on hand. The meat department is the best in our town and I wouldn't buy mine anywhere else! They even take your groceries out to the car and load them for you!! Everyone is super friendly and helpful!!

Love this store! I've been coming here since I was a kid. Going here just feels like home and the people there are like family. Not many Mom an Pop places like this left that bag your groceries and carry them out and put them in the car for you. A true local gem 💎! ❤️

Family Friendly, and Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable as it is a small grocery store but it is a good place to get your groceries. Don't forget to try out their tenderloin made fresh in the deli!

A little bit pricey, but the quality of their food is amazing and they have great staff. In particular, their deli is wonderful. They have probably like 20 different kinds of salads, great store to go to for a quick place to grab lunch.

It's a pretty nice grocery store. Only thing I don't like very much is the bagger coming out to help unload the cart. If the bagger would have asked if assistance was needed that would have been better. Still though I understand why and would imagine there is a specific reason they do it.

Just love this store! Great customer service. And they still help you out to your car and load! Best deli ever!

The best donuts in town, and possibly the world! (I'm a little obsessed with them.) Plus, a great meat selection at great prices. The rest of the groceries are a little on the high side, but the produce is of good quality.

I really like Handy Foods. When I ask for help they don't delay to help. They consistently take me to the product without me having to ask or just point somewhere like a Walmart employee does. Even the owner has helped me and thanked me for being there. I'm getting spoiled like I actually am important and have value as a customer. Who knew?

Not giving 5 stars only due to outdated decor... other than that, I think Handy Foods is 5 star all the way! Excellent bakery... top of the line customer service (they even help you to your car)! A+ store

Too expensive compared to elsewhere. Their hot food is overpriced and tastes like it's microwaved.

Ottawa's BEST butcher! Handy Foods does have good sales, sometimes but it can be more expensive than other grocery stores. The selection is very good as well. They have a small but good bakery & their meat selection has things that you can't get at any other stores in town.

During the Pandemic they're requiring masks for all customers and employees. Signs are posted outside. Makes shopping a lot less stressful. Great customer service, with a small town family feeling.

Handy Foods saves me from having to cook many times! Their cold and hot deli is always fresh and delicious. The quality of their meats and produce is top notch.
