Great selection for a small local store. Very friendly staff as well!

I go all the time to this store and I love it! Today was the worse time I felt there I wanted to get out as fast as I could. I asked an employee a question about an item that you always carried and for some reason I didn’t see them so I asked her where they were and her response was awful,very rude and I didn’t not like it at all! If she was having a bad day that’s ok but don’t take it out on the customers.

If you get WIC do not go to this store. They dont have half of what WIC approves, and they have stuff labeled as WIC Approved that is not. Also have poor customer service, and I have seen mice there on several occasions. Never going back!

They have all you need, food wise and adult drinks. Friendly workers, bakery products are excellent And ready to eat meals. Pizza kits and fair prices .

We are so lucky to have this small-town grocery store!

The employees that have been working there for years are so friendly and helpful. Some of the newer employees, not so much. But they have a good selection, the prices fair on all the products Ive bought there.

I go here for home made breads and pastries. Also the stuff u forgot . Ill run in and pick up things like maple syrup, fresh vegetables, tonic, potatoes. Just odds and ends . They always seem to have what Im looking for. Always friendly service.

Has a little bit of everything, including a lot of meals they make there.

This is a hometown IGA. All of your basic grocery needs. They have a deli and weekly deals on a variety of items throughout the store. Not a huge shopping facility, but quaint and has your basic needs. Good prices on most things and a friendly small town atmosphere. They also have beer, wine and spirits.

Small town store. Prices are high. Gotta watch the dates on items. A few times I have bought milk and it was out dated. This also happened when I bought sour cream. I try to avoid this store unless I am in a pinch. Its usually worth the extra time to go to a bigger store about 10 minutes farther. The employees are so-so. Many times I am cashing out and they dont say a word to me they talk to each other or other customers. They stock the shelves during the day and dont move or help you if you need an item. Overall not a great place. I give it 1 star only because I have to go there at times.

Rarely shop there but there are many good items such as the salads,bread an ready made meals.However,I bought wings that were outrageously overpriced and even my dog wouldnt eat them.Wont go there again.

Nice little store. They cut there own meat there. Not quite as cheap as the big box stores but isnt to bad

Neighborhood grocery store. Great for last minute groceries. Prices very reasonable.

Buddies is a small family owned store in Oakland and its been there for as long as I can remember. Owned by the same people since I was a little girl. They remember their regulars and treat all of their customers very well. They are very helpful and have some AMAZING home made soups, baked goods and entrees which I always find helpful after a hard day at work when Im hungry, but dont want to have to cook. In stead of grabbing greasy, fatty poor quality food at a fast food joint, I grab a much more healthy meal at Buddies. I get their chilli at least a few times a week and they always have at least two other soups to choose from. They also have sandwiches and pre-made little dinner plates; usually lasagna, American chop suey, meatloaf and lots more.

Great place to get all the things you need. Always clean and no long lines.

Decent food Outback you can find some really tasty eats homemade bean soups all of that stuff is really good

Awesome little grocery store, has ju about everything you need! Good customer service!

Buddies brings back many of the childhood feelings as the typical Town Grocery Store. Be sure to stop in Buddies next time your in Oakland.

Nice small town grocery store. Good in store home style cooking & baking.

Very nice local owned company, good place to get your groceries..

Great little hometown grocery store !! Friendly ppl and a big variety of items. Including premade meals and sandwiches for that quick lunch...

Love all the home made food there chili is to die for love the meats always fresh

Place for something quick to get items on the way to the lake, after work, or weekly shopping

Convention stop when your on your way home for the basic and a quick meal if your not wanting to cook.alway got a crock pot going with something hot n quick

Great local store with pretty much something for everyone. Buy locally

Buddies remind me of the Ma&Pop stores where everyone is kind and very helpful .

I shop there all the time great meat awesome Deli

Local grocery store. Prices are higher, but more personal as well.

Very polite and helpful staff,and the prices are fair.

Not a bad in town grocery store, prices are fair

Little of everything. Little higher prices but friendly service.

Family owned Grocery Store A Great Place to Shop.

Okay for simple shopping, but a little sketchy when it comes to produce. The store has a bit of an odd smell.

Way over priced on their items! Store is really small and compacted. The deli is a joke, have got spoiled meat from them before. Milk also twice! If you have the means drive 5 minutes down the road and go to Shaws or Hannafords.

Great experience every time!

If you need one or two things, this store is okay, but for full grocery trips its worth it to drive to hannaford. Limited selection and high prices define this iga.

Nice to be local but very expensive

Very pricey and very arrogant

Buddies is the best !

Buy local

Convenient

Excellent variety, you will find almost everything one can look for. The only drawback is that in my opinion it is a bit expensive.
