This is a fun place. Sure, it’s expensive, but it’s a treat. I needed an airport meal so I picked up a roast beef and cheese sandwich for $10 - to give you an idea of price. Very good so no regrets! Edit: the airport sandwiches were $13-14
This grocery store is nice. The isles are a bit narrow for the amount of customers that come to shop. There is a diverse selection of items. Some of the appeal here is a variety that you will not find in the big brand grocery outlets.
The hot food bar was looking skimpy today at 1 pm. Maybe it will be replenished soon? I could not wait. For that, one star missed.
The checkout process is friendly and fast. Parking is tight in the shopping center but a little bit easier on the far end of the strip where Balducci’s is located. Carts were scattered around today for some reason.
I want to start off by addressing what many other reviewers have commented on and have given the store a lower rating because of it. Yes, this place is pricier than what you may be used to at other stores but you pay for quality and at the end of the day if you are shopping at Balducci’s this should be a non-factor. For me personally this isn't my everyday grocery item store. This is a place that I utilize for special gatherings and events because I know its outstanding quality and I want to provide that to my guests. It doesn't matter if you're looking for meats, poultry, seafood, wine, produce or ready to eat meals you will have an amazing selection to choose from. You may even find it difficult to decide. I know I have to walk the store several times making sure I have considered all my options before purchasing. Usually I just get a little bit of everything and enjoy making a sampler. You will see from my pictures the place is clean and organized. The staff is polite and helpful and the store offers plenty of parking.
