Check out the deli for lunch.We have beautiful decorative cakes and dessert. Check out the bakery.The meat department is always available for fresh cuts of meatProduce keeps the best of fruits and veggies to choose from.

I really like their selection. They had a broccoli salad which is delicious and fresh lemon cake. The only thing I wish is that their doors would open automatically.

The store was older but well stocked. However, staff didn't seem to care less about being helpful. I was disappointed in the lack of options of energy drinks and meats. I may have just come at a bad time. I'm willing to go back and give a second try.

It was great. Workers were very helpful and hospitable. My family has been shopping at Maxwell's Big Star for over 25 yrs and will continue to shop there.

Listen.....go to the deli and order an 8-peice fried chicken. I guarantee it will change your life. If you have some left the next day, put it in your air fryer for 5 to 10 minutes and thank me later 😏🍗

When I am in Bolivar I will stop by Maxwell's deli at times for a snack. The atmosphere is always friendly. The young people working are smiling and willing to assist. Just a nice friendly place.

The young girls that work there are rude, period. They look at you disgusted and have a theatrical scene about not ringing up sea food but yet, they work there. How does she not get contaminated with, "Sea World" working there? I call b.s... That was just a slick way to be rude to and inconvenience me.

Very nice local store. Enjoy shopping there. They have items I like that I can generally only get at stores over 40 minutes a way.

It's now food giant but either way I've always hated this store. It's very tight and stays packed so I always seem to feel claustrophobic and now since it's been under new owners it's more expensive also. Update* they've been changing things up so maybe when they're done remodeling it'll feel more open.

I was in town for a day. I had heard about the deli meats at Maxwell's so decided to go. I was very impressed at the courteous employees especially the cashiers and meat/deli departments . I left with some fried bologna biscuits and a trunk full of meats. I was really impressed with the Head Butcher. Provided "Outstanding Customer Service!" Am looking forward to going back to this store the next time I'm in town!!!

Wish they would keep enough meat in the cooler to serve this community. I can’t count on them to have what I need when I need it. If it is an advertised special, forget it if you are working folks & can’t get there until 5:00. They never have a toast big enough to feed a family of 5.

Big Star is decent and convenient, but most products are way overpriced. The staff are not friendly either and they never have been. The only reason I go is because my grandmother likes to shop there. The elderly like what they like and there's no changing their minds.

What a great grocery store! Staff are friendly and helpful. They have butchers in the meat department. Yes, people, real life butchers that will help you with your order. They have some excellent fried chicken made fresh everyday. Pre-made bagged lunches for workers and kids on the go. Lunchmeat sliced to order. Prices are good on just about everything. A great local store that is employee owned. I can't say enough about the place.

Maxwells has had a problem with quality and they seem to not have joined into the Food Giant bigger store attitude. I bought some ice cream there.and I turned around right outside the door to return it because it was defrosted and they would not take it back. I don't like it they don't have advertised items a d when they do sometimes they don't mark them with the sales price!

I have NO idea how this store has such good reviews. Everyone I met there today was sad and complained about the prices.My experience, twice...Store is dated and needs repairs. The ceilings were literally falling apart on my daughter and I. We had to maneuver around buckets catching water on the floor. An older lady did hit it and splashed water, hope no one got hurt. The meat department had meat but it was all dated for tomorrow!!!! (Except steaks)No great choices...the produce looked used and abandoned.There is name brand then best choice only on some items. No great generic options. The best choice was just as expensive as name brand if not higher. WHO SALES REGULAR DORITOS FOR THE SUGGESTED PRICE? $4.29????? I really wanted to empty my cart and run! These prices are atrocious!!!!The customer service is non existent. Workers don't smile, won't help, and get uppity when you call them out on charging too much. I cannot wait to speak to the owners, Which I found out was Food Giant. I know one unhappy person doesnt change much but I spend at least $500 a month in groceries and it does add up. Shopping here I would easily spend 3 times that, NOT IN THIS LIFE!Moral of the story: it should be illegal to overcharge customers, just because your only competition is walmart doesn't mean you can price gouge, customer service should be top priority since WE pay your bills, and don't sale ANYTHING for the suggested price. Bad business.I think it is safe to say that I was unhappy with my visits.

They have a pretty good meat department and deli. The rest of the store is a bit expensive compared to other stores.What I thought was so weird, though..... I asked to use there bathroom and I had to sign the key out with my name AND phone number. So to all you public bathroom key thieves...WHY???

Although there's a Walmart nearby, my wife and I like the hometown vibe when shopping at Big Star. The staff is helpful and courteous and the store aisles are well stocked and clean.

I have literally been coming to this store all my life. Now my grandchildren ride in the buggies. Great people, nice bargains & saver cards & pick five deals are a big help. You can find highly unusual foods here as well. Love, love, love this store!!!

All of the employees were courteous and helpful as always. My shopping experience today was very pleasant. There were a few rude customers but maybe they were just having a bad day.

Beats Wal-Mart hands down on prices, quality, and quantity! Their Meats are the best around while being extremely affordable!! Treat you like one of the family!

It is a great small grocery store if you are in a hurry to get in and out. They always have great deals in the meat department. Anything else better to get at walmart for a better price. The cashiers are freindly.
