Locally small town grocery store, and if you live in Athens AL. you know the place Im 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 Im 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 !!!

Hometown Grocery is always clean & well stocked. They are always helpful. They always have plenty of people to check out, I never have to stand in a long line. They are always friendly. Love this place!

Never will go here again. After a short walk around the store it was very clear I could not spend money here. It smells gross upon entering. The shelves are stocked with dusty and out of date canned and boxed foods. There was mold on some of the bread and produce. The meats looked all but rotten and was evidently the source of the smell at the front of the store even though the meat dept is in the back. Absolutely nasty grocery store. The managers and employees should be ashamed of themselves.

Great prices and deals. Cashiers are friendly. Have had several baggers just throw things into the cart without a care though (typically theyre 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 cant blame on the workers. They cant 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 cant 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!

It is a nice store to grocery shop. Some items are most expensive than else where in the dog and cat food department. But then, other items are a lot cheaper. Being vegan, I wish they would carry more vegan food.
