Awesome local corner grocery store with great produce area, meat department, deli, and grocery items for all of the necessities. Love that they have hot lunch options from 11am - 2pm (especially taco Tuesday where they use house made fresh pico) and if you miss hot lunch, you can always have a made to order sandwich at the deli. Their customer service is second to none.

What an amazing treasure in Stillwater, MN. This little grocery store is tucked in a cute neighborhood near Nelson’s Ice Cream shop. I’ve driven by this grocery store maybe a 100 times and regret not coming in sooner.The employee opened the door for me when and I came and left. The Boar’s Head beef sandwich was fantastic on dark rye bread. I also bought some smoked pork chops!It’s a very friendly and high quality neighborhood grocer and wish everyone had one in there area.

Sorta hard to comprehend how awesome literally everyone is. The sandwich wizards in back are mostly why I end up here just about every time I need lunch. But everyone from the cashier to whoever else I end up talking to is just plain nice. It goes beyond just excellent customer service. This lil' shop is the type that restores your faith in humanity.

Lens is a family business I have supported for over 20 years. I have had fantastic experiences here. And one or two disappointed events. That impacted my business for a short time. I had a huge crush on Frankie. From the meat department. I miss the great customer service I used to get while she was here. Shout out to you Frankie. Life's to short to be unhappy I wish your family tge best.

It's hard to find a place that captures the spirit of small business and people driven community as well as Len's Family Food does. The staff is always patient and ready to help me with what I need and the selection for that amount of space is insane. And now with the change of management in the meat department things are looking up even more for this place, which seemed hardly possible. If you're ever passing by, be sure to get a custom deli sandwich! The best in town!

Len's Grocery is the best! Amazing selections of fresh produce, deli counter and almost every staple one might need. So refreshing to shop in this great little store. Friendly staff, good prices. I love having it in our neighborhood. Thank you, Len's.

Lens is a great small local grocery store. It has a decent selection of most staples. The meat/deli department is great. It is quite a bit more expensive than Walmart or Cub.

Cute, family run grocery store! The store is so welcoming with staff that greets you and opens the door for you when you arrive. I have also had luck finding items here that have sold out at bigger grocery stores (e.g. molasses during the holidays)! Definitely worth checking out and adding to your places for routine grocery runs if you're in the Stillwater area.

I love Len's. Been coming here since I was a kid. The meat department is amazing, deli is great, and staff is the friendliest around.

Sadly much has changed since the passing of the name sake of this legendary store. RIP LEN.Much turnover due to unfair treatment of staff. The warmth and smiles of familiar faces are gone.You can paint the walls but what will that do if you dont invest in your longterm staff.Shame on management. Your employees deserve a cost of living increase.

Frankie-Lee deserves a raise. The sheer amount of positive reviews solely based on the meat department she runs is a great indicator of that!

Always a friendly greeting and usually have any of those things we forgot we needed! They always answer the phone and are friendly when we call and ask "do you have?" We love having this little store right in the neighborhood.

I love that tiny, family-run corner grocery shops like this still exist. You feel like you're stepping back in time to a lost America. I probably wouldn't do my entire household shopping here, but it's the perfect place to stop when you need a handful of items and don't want to make the trek into Cub. The produce selection is quite good, and the staff is always so friendly and helpful.

This is the best corner store in the state! They have pretty close to everything you need including amazing deli sandwiches. If they don't have something add it to the request notebook at front counter and they will try and accommodate.

Lens has a great meat counter, but it's their service that is second to none. I stop at least twice a week on my way home to get something for the grill & I'm always greeted with a friendly hello. Just this last week I had exceptional service from one of the guys behind the meat department who special cut a large chunk of turkey breast for me, custom. I couldn't believe it. Love this place!

Man, it is just super hard to beat Lens. If you live in Stillwater, this is everybody's favorite grocery store. Despite the small footprint, it almost always has everything I'm looking for, and the staff is super friendly.

The best deli sandwiches in town! Stop in and give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

This little store has been a neighborhood staple as long as I can remember. Nice people at the meat counter will make you a sandwich or other lunch special. You will pay a little more for your lunch/ groceries here likely due to the fact that they are a small independent store. I see a lot of locals from the neighborhood inside and I would guess most of their business comes from locals and passers-by. My daily lunch spot! Give them a try next time you are around!

Love this place, just went through it the other day as I’ll be moving here soon. I’m very happy to see masks are properly enforced and the selection provided in a family owned business. Keep it up! Can’t wait to move in the neighborhood and start shopping here regularly.

Very fortunate to have this place close by. It's amazing how many useful items they pack into a small space, even a butcher counter (and of high quality). Everyone who works there is very friendly.

Just was attacked by social justice warrior said she was the manager. Demaned to know my medical reason i could not wear a mask. I said no and was kicked out of the store she followed me around to the meat ounter. To tell them to refuse me service and told me i was trespassing. I spend thousands of dollars a year there. A d did my daily shopping. But never again this is the only store in stillwater. That attacks people. You have lost my business forever. I video taped the whole encounter i will be posting the attack so the public knows how you treat customers. I only gave you 1 star because i couldn't give a 0 star rating.
