Literally the worst grocery store I have ever set foot in. I've never been desperate enough to spend the absurd amount of money they charge for "fresh" produce. And don't even bother opting for frozen veggies because the pickings are slim to none. Dairy free creamer? You'll spend your life savings and it'll still probably be rotten. Oh you want to check out with the items you managed to find, great! Too bad there's nobody working! Please sell this store to someone who cares, Ben Lomond is begging you.

Wonderful little grocery store. My wife and I shop here weekly and they have an excellent meat selection, fresh produce and relatively reasonable prices. Not sure why this place has such a low rating, so I wanted to add my 5 stars and share my frequent positive experiences there.

Their deli is amazing and has become a sandwich go to for a few years. Fast and friendly is an understatement. Check them out.

Service is not good. Found insects in my pasta box. Have been overcharged more than once. Have informed "management" but the response has not been satisfactory.

I'm new to the SLV but am rapidly being won over by the Ben Lomond Market. Their selection of quality meats and vegetables is excellent, as is their good assortment of fine wines. I was surprised to discover such an upscale grocery store in a small town like BL but that's what makes the town so special. BL Market has become my favorite stop for a fresh deli sandwich -I had turkey with all the fixings (which was large enough to share with my husband) and was not disappointed. Add to that their very charming picnic tables and its the the perfect spot to beat the heat and enjoy a nice lunch! I always like to support small businesses and the locally owned and operated Ben Lomond Market has my endorsement - its a real gem!

they are the owners of the hazard of a building that is at the corner of the block, which has been abandoned for over ten years. it has a negative effect on the community not to mention that it is a health hazard to have the roof caved in and rodents/raccoons living there. HOW IS THIS IGNORED???

Recently, let's say in the last 7 months I found this lil treasure so I thought. I normally complete my weekly shopping Thursday or Friday evening. I preface this because the market is ran by a skeleton crew at night. However, I am always greeted, and the guys are extremely helpful. After picking up some building materials across the street, I decide to go shopping. BIG MISTAKE! The morning crew was initially nowhere to be found, then 3 females appeared 1 working in the liquor department, 1 in various areas of the front in, and the other checking groceries. I wish I had gotten their names. What I can tell you is the female checker was contrite, rude, snarky and unprofessional I was at the self check out, as when I was ready to check out their were ZERO staff to be found... somehow she made this a issue, as I was having problems with some of the bar codes registering. As I was walking out I said " thank you ", she stated, in front of a customer... next time just come to me". I.was embarrassed, clearly my lil 178.00 a week doesn't matter to BL Market. I can spend my money elsewhere.. or just make sure I only go in the evening, where the male crew is at least friendly. Pls note, one of the Lady's.. let's call her front end/fountain girl... she made a effort to assist. But did not rectify the problem. If upper Management happens to read this review be fully aware.. you have a nice market..my family and I normally shop at Draggers, ( which I can't always get to. ) I found your market to be a close 2nd... my point.. don't let this person destroy your business and pls don't get over confident that it can't happen. People are not going to put up with blatant nasty checkers.

Tried and true local market. Slightly more expensive than a big box grocery store but it makes up for it with its quaint mountain town vibes. They have great gifts in the front of the store and a banging cheese and meat section for all your charcuterie board needs. Seriously there's like nine different types of olives... it's pretty impressive. I've never ordered a sandwich but it has been on my to do list. I don't normally like grocery store sushi but theirs is surprisingly tasty and good for a quick lunch. I've tried quite a few of their "ben lomond market" house brands - from Bloody Mary mix to marinades to spicy olive juice (they apparently really like their olives!) and all have been great. I've always had great service from the cashiers - my only comment is it'd be nice to see more people throughout the store if you need to ask a question. All in all, I almost always find what I need and then some!

My wife went to Ben Lomand Market to redeem recycling voucher from the Ben Lomand transfer Station. The genitalman at the store said she couldn't redeem it unless she bought something. Never shopping there again. Poor services

I am 5th generation of people in the SLValley. My Grandfather was the chief of the fire department and my other grandfather worked for this store as a butcher. I have been going here since I was a child yet recently the balding middle aged manager that is there is constantly treating me like a nuissance EVERYTIME im in this store. I am a single mom and always have my toddler with me while shopping. The other workers are always great however this middpe management tough guy always has put off such an arrogant and demeaning attitude whenever my baby and I are in the store. I tried telling myself that it was just me or in my head until today when I was checking out and I had a welcome mat on the under part of my cart and this guy called out over the intercom "Marcy , code green" to which my checker JUMPED to ouck up her line and answer "yes...i already did" I knew it was this man and I asked my checker "was that your manager asking if I was stealing this mat?" She said "yes, but he does it all the time" this threw me into an outward rage of indifference. I payed the $265 for 3 bags of groceries and marched down to him and asked if "I had done something to make him always watch me and give me this condescending look he always does" and he responding so arrogant and cocky that "what look is that?" I am do over this shithole overpriced store and I only shop there because of the location....but I GUARANTEE after 30 years I will NEVER step foot there again ESPECIALLY when Safeway is not much further and they are always amazing and kind and the manager has even done curbside delivery with a gift card which is not required but he wanted to help me when my son was sick. I am so disappointed and saddened to be judged so harshly and accused of stealing with my young child.

the guy at this place carded my friend- and after seeing her license was valid said she should go update it because she "clearly didn't weigh that little anymore".

I've been shopping at BLMarket for 22 years. I always thought they did a good job even when times were tough. But lately it's been awful. Moldy bread, items past expiration date with no options. But today took the cake. I paid more than $30 for a crab cleaned and cracked. When I got it home it was so god-awful I couldn't eat it. It was sticky to the touch and stunk like rotten meat. I was so disappointed after looking forward to my crab meal all day. They offered to let me come back and get another one. There was no way I would want one of those crabs. I can't imagine that the person at the meat counter allowed me to buy it. Never again.
