The Fresh Market

Always a lovely selection of vegetables and fruits. Their chicken wings are tender and not overly fatty. Cooked just right. I always try to get their "feed 4 for $25" meal special every week, because it saves so much time and it usually feeds 5. It's all packaged and I just have to follow some easy directions or actually anyone in the house can! Very nice and helpful associates as well as knowledgeable meat counter staff. A fantastic selection of ready made soups and chowders. If you're in a hurry or maybe you just don't feel like cooking, there are quiches ready for the oven and nice Artisan bread varieties you can pair with a bisque and you're all set!

Having moved from a tony north shore suburb of Chicago, Lake Forest, to Midway over eight years ago, I was totally shocked to find my favorite grocery store from Lake Forest was in Lexington! I was able to buy all my favorites, baby back ribs, in house made meat loaf, chicken pot pie, freshly squeezed orange juice (a must have), and more missed items then I can remember, The staff are very friendly and helpful, and to be able to have a go to butcher is a special experience on my weekly shopping visits. I especially appreciate the FM prepared gourmet quick to prepared meals...........they are DELICIOUS.

When buying seafood for a large group, it seems like a good idea to place the order well ahead of time (4 days) and when your order is confirmed and credit card charged you don’t expect any issues. Not a very nice situation to then receive a text 30 minutes prior to pickup saying that they didn’t have 85% of what I ordered. Not even an apology….just “oh that’s the way we do it”. Needless to say, I’ll shop elsewhere in the future.

First time here or in any Fresh Market. Color me impressed! It's kind of like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods had a baby lol The interior has what I would call a rustic bougie vibe, and everything is super fresh and vibrant. Prices aren't as high as I expected, and they have really great deals on their member specials and sale items. Excellent selection of fresh produce and meats, and we watched their fresh sushi being made—I wish I'd taken a picture of that, bc it's Instagram-worthy. I can't explain how much fresher and better it looks than the vast majority of the sushi I've ever eaten (check my reviews, I eat sushi every chance I get lol). And speaking of sushi, they have sushi-grade tuna which is so hard to find! Super friendly and helpful employees too. I'll definitely be back! P.S. I almost forgot! They have a ridiculous selection of mushrooms (fresh as well as dried), including lion's mane, oyster, King trumpet, maitake, etc.! I picked up a 'chef's blend' and sauteed them to have with our supper. They were DELICIOUS.
