Not too welcoming ... maybe better lighting would improve that?. Deli looks sketchy, I avoided it. Meats look great, produce ok. Not a huge selection, but adequate for necessities. A bit overpriced. Check out woman carried on personal conversation with co-worker, never said one word to me... NOT good customer relations.

Friendly. Convenient. Clean.Their meat department is excellent.Their shelves are well stocked. While their selection of items is limited compared to large grocery stores, I can almost always find what I need for us between trips to Athens.It's great having a local grocery store to depend on.

If you live in the Crawford-Lexington area or farther out, this store is a godsend for basic necessities. To those for whom Athens is equally convenient, it's hardly "destination shopping." The meat case is surprisingly good-- the one thing Clarence Bell takes seriously at this location. Every other department is "meh" except Produce, which is pitiful and a dilemma for the store. Fresh veggies sell slowly here and deteriorate on the shelf. If they tossed out bad stuff like they should they'd have to face facts and get rid of Produce entirely-- but then it's not a "real" grocery store. This is true in ALL Bell's stores, which is a local family chain. As such, they have a unique opportunity to stop purchasing produce from Atlanta wholesalers and partner creatively with local CSA-type farmers, of which there are plenty with lots of potential for more. That could be win-win for both parties and make Bell's produce super-quality, "neato," and a major draw.

My favorite locally-owned and locally-operated old fashioned grocery store. Friendly, helpful people, wide aisles compared to modern grocers and never any self check or long lines to check out.

A good selection of fruits and vegetables at really good prices. Every now and then they get interesting products and their deli is fantastic. I really love how I'm treated like a friend by those who work there. Always a pleasant experience.

Love the Southern Country Charm of the store. The ladies there are very kind and helpful and make me feel welcome. Employees actually speak to me there.

I have mixed input for this place. The meat cuts are fantastic! It's great for convenience if you need something in a pinch. Limited variety of items. Not always the cleanest. Prices are high. Staff is friendly. Parking... well park wherever because it does not really matter. Park in the fire lane if you want. Park along the curb...never been to a place where spaces are optional .
