Well this was my first time here and it was okay until I got to a cashier working. There was no one in her line so I went to it and started putting my things on the belt, she didnt say hi to me so I did and she didnt say it back, so I spoke up and said How are you and she said good. I just felt like she didnt want to work there or like her job. She wasnt too welcoming. The owner would really watch who they hire.
Absolutely rude customer service worker. She was an elderly black lady, didnt catch her name. She was blatantly rude with her first words to me and it didnt get better from there- luckily enough I chose to ignore her but now I will never spend money with this location or the location on Jefferson as both places are dumpster fires of grocery stores with horrendously rude workers and nasty, out of date and damaged products. Because of this incident, youve lost mine and quite a few others I spread this to. Word of mouth in a small town goes far, you should take more care in how you treat your customers.
Love the environment! I also love the cashiers! My favorite would have to be Julianna I think. Such a sweet young lady she is and she always has a smile on her face when I come in! Hollie is also a amazing sweet girl! Always very friendly and has a smile on her face! Don’t let anyone else fool you, these teens are so sweet and have such good manners. Always happy to help and ready to work. Never once has any of them been rude to anyone! Riley is also a sweet boy. Nice and offers to take out my grocery sometimes! Just an amazing place to shop at and I will continue to shop there.
Always have loved shopping at Hometown since I was a kid. The employees are extremely helpful and polite. I love how they cash payroll and social security checks for a smaller fee than any bank. Their prices are lowest around and the 5 for $25 meat deal is great. Highly recommend shopping at Hometown.
Nice employees and good prices but there is one thing wrong with theyre store they need to unclutter there isles and clean up the store especially the restroom and stock there shelves they was out of a lot of items. And clean up the parking lot I would appreciate it a lot thanks from Mary Lewis tomboy outlaw harmonica player
This is a very well run store and I have frequently shopped here for years now. The employees are always really kind and helpful whenever I need assistance. That bakery manager especially, hes a wonderful guy and knows the answer to pretty much any question I ever have. Keep up the good work Hometown!
I love Hometown because I can park reasonably close and if I just need a few things, I can quickly go in, select my items, check out, and be on my way!
Very good quality goods at a very fair price. Very neat and clean store. Very friendly and helpful staff! Love it there!!
Hometown is the BEST grocery store in Athens!! They always have great deals, has everything I need and I dont have to go to Walmart! Also, every employee in that store is always so nice and helpful! I also use the Pharmacy, AWESOME people there too! Thank you Hometown for making life a little easier!
It was great! Cashier was very friendly. Just wish they carried a little more variety but not bad. Prices over all were good.
This is a good little store. Stopped by on a holiday and it was pretty empty. Prices are decent, staff is nice, facilities clean. No complaints. Definitely recommend
Best deals in town. Great service. Friendly employees. Good selection on many things. Always something special in the deli. Sweet stuff for you in bakery. Yum.
Again this is one of the best markets we have in this town today. You guys took a failed Southern Family Market, Piggly Wiggly, and all it took was some cleaning up and making it that kind of store again. Great job guys!
One of my favorite grocery stores these days. They have real butchers!, and if you ask they will cut any meat product anyway you ask. Not many stores do this anymore. Most other stores only have meat stockers. Everything comes in pre-cut frozen bulk packages. Not at Hometown Grocery, everyone should be on a first name basis with their butcher.
Very good grocery store. Great selection and low prices. Store always looks clean and well stocked when Ive been there.
Great grocery store and very nice employees. The prices are very good with deals and specials on lots of items. Weve found our local grocery store, thats for sure.
I love Hometown Grocery. I always do 95% of my grocery shopping there. Great deals Really great Meats and Wonderful Friendly People. They are like family.
Friendly and helpful staff. Big selection of meat and dry goods. Clean store. Good deals. Always ready to open another check out. Great place.
Great place to shop! Good prices.. Friendly service
My favorite grocery store, they actually still have a butcher! Not processed meat coming in on a truck!You cant beat their prices either.
I love getting my meats from here. The location is always clean. Staff is always nice and meats are always fresh.
Great store! Long lines open other registers right away. If it wasnt for the Lady at the sevice desk, who helped me put my groceries in the 4 egg boxes they gave me, I would be without my cane also. I left it, now she is holding it for me! All good, country folk !!
Get canned whole chicken there when I need to make my chicken stew quicker.
Great prices and great deals on groceries and the workers are very helpful. You can always find what your looking for and its easy and convenient with two locations in Athens,al to choose from.
I love this store i can find what i am looking for and more .the employees are friendly .The cashiers are scarce and never enough their lines are hectic at time but overall i give the store a five and very clean except the bathrooms, thank you
After finding this place, it has become my favorite grocery shopping spot. The employees are friendly and helpful, and I love the fresh meat section. Produce department is great, too.
Outstanding customer service. The people here are really friendly and professional.
We always get our meats from here they are a small town style grocery store that has actual butchers in their meat department during the day. A bell to ring if you have questions or need something specific that they dont already have out there
There service tech Rodney got my car in and out real quick and I like that kind of service thanks guys
Nice local chain, better selection than the smaller Jefferson store. My only complaint is some produce isnt as fresh as Id like, and there is a ton of junk food crowded directly up front. Im not a health food nut, I just prefer less processed foods.
A certain cashier here is very quick to discriminate !!! Terrible moral values. I’ve dealt with this 2 times already here.
I have only been to this location two times. Both times I left disappointed and rolling my eyes at how rude and inconsiderate the cashiers have been during checkouts. Not to say that all of them are, but the young high school/college aged students at work during the times I was there are completely unprofessional and care more about their own side conversations than the customers. The young lady wouldnt even slide my bags down to me. Instead I could only reach them up and over the credit card machine. I will continue to shop at Hometown Grocery, not Hometown Market, like I usually do. Sometimes convenience is not worth it.
Great store, well stocked, fresh meats and produce. Staff are really nice Everytime we go in.Thanks.
Always have their shelves stocked and employees are so helpful and kind
Love Hometown...great prices...nice and helpful employees.
Love this store you may pay a few cents more but its better than the big box stores
I love this store. Convenient, super nice staff and usually fast check out.
The deli is awesome, but the prices could be a little cheaper.
This is one of my favorite places to shop for groceries. they usually have good sales and are not as expensive as some others.
Its A nice place to get groceries and friendly place.
I found what I wanted and the employes at the store was good and the store was neat and clean.
DONT... i repeat, DONT APPLY THE JOB! i am deaf and i applied for the job 3 times within a year and the manager discriminated me, how did i know? i gave my application.. (3 times) and the dude who handle the hiring, said the papers are overload which I did not buy what he said, because the employees told me the store is badly needed to hire. and i asked one employee to see if they got my application, but said my application wasnt there next day... 3 times! it is disability discrimination... and I KID YOU NOT!!
One star because negative stars isnt an option. One the freezers was unplugged or broken all the meat in was thawed and warm! Gross!!!
Love to get Sunday lunch from the deli!! Always delicious!!
Nice small town grocery store not too crowded & good selection of groceries good prices too
Good grocery store great prices on meat, have to be careful with other products some are higher than other grocery stores
One of the last stores you can get fresh cut meat in town at a reasonable price.
Always friendly & helpful to all customers.Deals with enough space to shop without getting pushing people.
Cost more than Wal-Mart, but easy in easy out.
Seems to be a nice place and prices are fair.
Good cheap place to get your groceries
Love this place most of everything is pretty reasonable and the people here are great
The Store across town is better than this one. Im really surprised at how lazy,rude and sloppy they act here. They dont want to help. Especially if you need help at the service desk. Then all they do is complain. They should be very Happy they have a job but instead they are miserable. They get equally frustrated if you use the coinstar. That confuses me to why that bothers then so much. I guess different strokes for different folks.
I only buy my groceries here. Nice people that work there
Prices on the shelves are way higher than other stores. A bottle of Gatorade that sells for .80 at Walmart everyday is $1.49 at Hometown. Other items that sell for $1 most places are 2 for $3 here. Thats a 50% increase, for nothing. Do people not understand that on the non sale items they are being completely ripped off? Hometown had better hope their customers never set foot in Walmart or Aldi and compare prices.The meat department is tiny and meat prices are high. Cheap chicken thighs are priced higher than boneless skinless breasts a mile up the road. Best of all, check out is totally stalled out. They currently have one slow lady running a resister with six people lined up waiting to check out. Meanwhile store employees file past the registers looking grim, and no one is the slightest bit concerned about the wait. I guess opening register #2 would be way too much trouble. The good reviews this place receives are a complete mystery to me.
Nice clean grocery store and nice people and good bargains
A easy place to park rink in and pick up a few groceries
Always find what I am looking for.
Nice employees. Clean store. Great prices on meat

Friendly staff. Good products. Decent prices.
A great selection and good pricing. A real home town feel!
Its not new but its easy to run in & grab everyday items... dont buy cereal or detergent though... its really quite a bit higher than discount stores. .. unless youre in a pinch. I grab basics because its on my route home from work sometimes. I do not regularly shop for main groceries.
Good prices but lower quality.
Great team members and well organized shop
Great selection and fresh produce. Friendly staff and NO waiting to check out!
Great service, great products, fabulous prices and very knowledgeable, helpful and courteous staff!!
Its ok. Produce could be better.
Good prices and friendly cashiers.
We have been here 3 times to buy corn that according to there add in the News paper was on sale. It is never out on the floor we usually wind up asking someone about it and wait 30 min maybe longer. Looks like neitherthe manager or produce person knows how to run a business
Great selection of pick 5 items for $19.99
Thanks to WSLV CAT Country 105.1 FM for running the weekly specials on the radio my freezer is full of Hometown bargins!!
