The deli offers tasty home-cooked meals with good sized portions at affordable prices and a different special every day. Its always interesting to look at the selection of European groceries they offer. I enjoy some of the sausage and dried smoked meats that they offer. Their meat department has quality cuts at very reasonable prices too.

This is a great store to pick up a few items rather than going to Walmart. The prices are higher expect to pay a extra dollar or two per item. Check your expiration dates! Sometimes there is employees and customers not speaking English and I feel a little unwelcome and unsafe around them. Over not bad

This is a small grocery store but that doesnt stop them from being a good grocery store. They carry store brands as well as name brands. Every time I have been there the employees are extremely nice. They take the time to say hello. How is your day. Very unlike larger grocery stores or box stores. Hometown Foods has really good sales. You can get the weekly sale flyer online. I enjoy shopping here.

This is a nice grocery store to shop at. It is very clean. It is a smaller, smaller than HyVee or Walmart, which makes it easier to find things. I dont shop here often. But it is close to my home which makes it easy to get to if I only need one or two things such as milk or eggs.

Its a good neighborhood grocery. Not much variety and always a foul odor by the meat counter. But its quick, convenient, and you can get staples there. They do have lots of imported European foods (e.g., yummy cakes), serving the Bosnian community.

Hometown Foods is a small neighborhood store. They have a smaller selection of items and some slightly higher prices. I enjoy the convenient location and the pleasant cashiers.

Review №54

Their gyros are some of the best in town. Meat department is very fresh too. For regular grocery items, you can find lower prices in town. But for meats...I think for the price its better than fareway. Although selection is smaller

Review №84

I came to your deli 3 different times around 6 and 6:30 pm and was denied fresh broasted chicken. Because the cooks where too lazy and/or didnt want to make it. I think this is unacceptable. Whats the since of having chicken on sale if u cant get none. I went there this Sunday and the cook said she will not make me fresh chicken because she cleaned it already. Never heard of such. You ever go to mc Donalds ask for a sandwich and they said they cant cuz they just cleaned the grill..Preposterous
