"I want to be able to give a place like this 5 stars but almost gave it 2..\nI love the idea of Local and go out of my way to support places like this. \n\nThe storefront is extremely homespun and looks like it could be in a third world country. The business name \"the grocery\" is haphazardly scrawled across the facade, (not saying this is necessarily a bad thing). Upon entrance, the first thing I noticed on several occasions was severely wilted produce to my left and a table of bread to my right left out in the open with tons of flies on it. Definitely not an appetizing way to start. \nI expected the place to be kind of expensive considering it is so tiny and in a blighted area of town, though I typically don't mind paying extra for quality small businesses that are trying to do something conscious. \nI have ordered several sandwiches here myself and with friends. I would say they aren't necessarily bad but definitely not worth it. I made better sandwiches at age 5. The portions are small and just lacking. My all Ohio roast beef sandwich had 2 small pieces of lunch meat, a slice of cheese, a piece of lettuce and maybe a 1/2 teaspoon of sauce. That would be ok for $4.50 but not double. I don't think I will shop there anymore and hope they can make the necessary changes to stay open."^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . "2018-03-12T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . .
