Insider Pages Reviews for Whole Foods Market
I am a private chef in Atlanta and this is by far the the best customer service I have received in Atlanta period! Everyone is always so friendly and eager to help. I call their seafood department and have them hold stuff for me and it's the same in the meat department also. I feel so spoiled when I go there and I'm always expecting this kind of service at other whole foods and it's night and day. This is a model store and I just wanted to spread the word. I shop there everyday and the service is consistent throughout the entire store.

Mind boggling variety of healthy foods, organic foods, cheeses, and more. Busy store, but employees are still helpful. Clean and neat. It feels like a nice place to shop inside. There is also a small cafe and coffee area near the registers. I plan to go back again sometime to look around some more. There was so much that I really couldn't take it all in on one trip. Some prices may be high. As with any shopping, if you know your prices, you will know which are good deals and which aren't.

As is typical of most Whole Foods, the deli is excellent as is the service. I love stopping in on my way home from work and picking up an already prepared dinner. The salad bar is excellent and I love the wine selection. There is always someone knowledgable and friendly available to help you.
PROS: great deli, prepared foods, and wine
CONS: can be expensive

I really love this grocery store, the prices are a bit more expensive than the typical grocery store but they offer a variety of healthy food choices. I love the fresh organic meats and vegetables they offer.

Buyer Beware
by atlja43
Although whole foods does some very nice items, they also have old vegetables and short dated products. You have to be very careful shopping there as several times I have found out the items I bought were already stale or old.

Fine Dining Prices At A Grocery Store? It's Good, But................!
by jaymaygm
Whole Foods on Ponce is a stunner! Walk in, and all the excitement, just overtakes you, and one does not know where to begin. Beautiful organic fruits and veggies. Top quality seafood and meat, all beautifully displayed. And then there are the prepared foods. Mind you, I don't mind cooking, but in here, you just want it now, and cooked. Decided to take items home for dinner. Two nice grilled pork chops, 1/2 lb. Green Beans, and 1/2 lb. Baked Mac and Cheese. All that cost me a whopping $30.00 plus, and I had to use my own untensils, clean up my own mess, and serve myself. I don't know about everyone else, but that is just crazy. I can go to a sit-down restaurant, be waited on, tip, and spend about the same amount. Beautiful organic foods, minus ultra high prices for hot prepared items, just equal AVERAGE. Remember what happened to EatZi's, and now little Fresh Market is on the scene, with much lower prices, without all the hype. Time will tell!
Pros: Beautiful Fresh Organic Produce & Meats/Seafood!
Cons: Ultra High Prices For Takeaway Prepared Foods!
