Compare is one of my favorite places to shop (not for meats though) and I've been shopping there since I moved to Charlotte (over 10 years ago).
I love the produce. They have items you wouldn't find at Food Lion like hibiscus, tamarind, fresh aloe, many fresh herbs and more. I purchase salted fish to season greens and beans in lieu of pork.
I love, love, love the restaurant. The oxtails are EVERYTHING !!!
