Local Market Foods

"I am from TX & as a southerner, I was definitely in awe when I walked in here. I was totally caught off guard when I noticed the grocery store had a buffet of hot food! I am not used to anything like that. the closest to a grocery store with a mini restaurant inside in Houston is Costco. And that is a bore seeing how you have to have a membership just to buy, it’s annoying. I was also in joy when I seen their cupcakes! the strawberry cheesecake cupcakes… ARE LITERALLY TO DIE FOR. seriously. I will be back in the summertime to really shop at the local market. BUT! I do want to advise those that even if you are getting cold or hot foods, ALWAYS CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE! i bought a southwestern salad and had to throw it away because the lettuce wilted and smelled. if you are getting cold foods like soup, chicken salad or even a regular salad… eat it the same day or the next. don’t wait to save it for a different moment, it’s not gonna be good. I’m telling you, you will be upset. always ask the cooks how long has hot foods been sitting out, what time did the (let’s say shrimp fried rice) was cooked? always make sure! people nowadays will be selfish and not care for others."

"Prices are sky high. I live right down the street and never shop there. They are ripping people off. Shop at Aldi, or food for less even marianos is cheaper and they have better quality meat and produce, and sells. You will save a ton of money."

"The buffet is so good. The boneless jerk is my favorite I like to put it on top of the fettuccine with chicken and spinach. I love the baked sweet potatoes they are slightly sweet, the best flavor, trust me, I'm the queen of candid yams so I know. There's are perfect. The fish, so many choices of BAKED fish and all delicious. I love ❤️ this place."

"Stopped in for the buffet. 9.99 a lb. , mashed potatoes were good, potato salad tasted like dill Pickles, it was different but good. Brisket was a little tough, same for the bbq ribs. Macaroni okay, rice so-so. Overall, the buffet was a little on the salty side, but it's not that bad, i guess. Ribs and brisket were a little chewy, like they were a little dried out from sitting, maybe. The store is pretty big, with a large selection. Bathrooms were clean. You can instacart from this store. It's kinda like a better Marianos. The meat department has a larger selection of meats and meat organs than I've seen anywhere. Great if you have pets on a raw diet."

"Stopped in Local Market today to grab some lunch and found out they offer my FAVORITE on-the-go quick bite, Soul Vegan!! Some of the employees in this establishment aren’t as friendly as other place but the amazing produce section makes up for lack of customer support. The prices are fair, the produce area, and did I mention that Local Market Foods has Soul Vegan products on the shelves…"
