Joey's Northside Grocery

"We love walking to Joey's when we can My 4yr old is Obsessed with stopping by, He's a fan of Diesal being there sometimes, Good store always clean, Friendly staff!"

"The farmer's market outside had great produce, with some of it at reasonable prices. The inside wasn't so welcoming though. We were in need of a snack, beverages, and a rest room after a long ride and then hiking at Zurich Bog. The lady at the counter was curt and rather dismissive-- we asked if there was a bathroom we could use and she said no. We explained we were from out of town and paying customers (we bought produce, two drinks and ice cream) but she wouldn't relent. She then pointed out the window in a vague direction and said, "there's a bar over there down that street not too far, maybe they'll let you use theirs" and went back to ringing up customers. Additionally, we grabbed a couple ice cream bars that were labeled as 2/$1 in the freezer, but when I checked my receipt I'd been charged $2.49 for one of them, and $0.99 for another. If the wait hadn't been so long the first time, and I wasn't in such a hurry to go find someplace with a bathroom, I would have gone back. We still waited in line with our ice cream, and to her credit, she did notice that the wrapper on my boyfriends cream sickle bar was torn and insisted he go get a new one, as she didn't think he should eat this one. That's why I gave the store 3 stars instead of only 1 or 2. If we're ever in that area again, I'd stop by one more time just to see if this was a fluke-- a bad day for the staff or something. But the store was small, crowded and kind of run down on the inside-- and it seemed like everyone else there knew each other well. So perhaps it's just that we were outsiders, and not locals."

"Everyone loves Joey's. Huge beer selection including growlers. They also have a great selection of cigars in their humidor. It really is a convenient store!"

"Joey and his team are great. It is like a little beers of the world, all while maintaining the local Newark charm. Joey is a standup guy and a great member of the community. His selection in the store is great and his top employee, Diesel, is always friendly."

"The workers in the store are always friendly and helpful. The store has a nice location on the north side of town which makes it easy to get a last minute item that you might have forgotten at the store and don't wish to drive back into town to get. They also tend to have a nice selection of craft beers to fill a growler with."
