  Discount grocery store with competitive pricing, but lacking in overall quality. I'd suggest buying your meat elsewhere; beef products in particular. The produce section is satisfactory with a moderate degree of selection. The one caveat to shopping here is that you must be prepared to wait; lines at the cash registers extend to the aisles themselves at times.

  I love this location. They always seem to have something that I need for cheap and in stock.

  Great staff. Very friendly. Very economical but they don't always have what you want. They probably cut your food bill 25 to 40 % if you are careful. Not like a big box stores where you have to buy massive quantities of product.

  I'm still not secure with buying meat from food basics. I go for bread, cheese, or canned/bottled goods/"international" food or frozen foods. They have a pretty decent selection of "international" foods.

  This grocery store has good prices and friendly service!!! The only one issue i have regarding Food Basics is the line ups are way out of hand!!! They need to have more cashier's open at certain times of the day.... it is a little iterating to have to wait 15 mins in line for only a few items! I've walked out just because the line ups at the cash were way too long!!! Other than that it is a pretty good grocery store!!!

  This place is great to find everything you need quickly. No getting lost in here. You can get what you need and get out unlike other "grocery" stores.
