I may be a townie, but I know my meat. Been shopping here since the early 90's, it's my meat headquarters. The grapes are good too.
We have been spending more time here for several reasons. First, it is important to work from the community on out, and the tremendous selection of local meats is phenomenal. We use the ground lamb and ground sirloin to make the best burgers in the world, as well as for the basis of great meatballs for soups or casseroles. The layout is so much more inviting than our big-box stores, and though the prices for regular commodities can be a bit higher, it works out fine for quick-to-grab items. The cheese selection is exemplary for a small store, and also a great selection of decent wines and beers. The frozen meat selection is also extensive and will fit your any need from brats to chorizo. Fantastic staff, and a great place to get only what you need in a brief time.
They have the best prices on meats, and it's hard not to stock up every time you go! It's a nice small shop that isn't overwhelming, but still has a nice selection of groceries --and lots of great wines! - Highly recommended!
I've only been there three times, but every time I come I realize I need to go here instead of all the way on the other side of town to Kroger. Apple Pay is super convenient, and it feels so cool to pay with your phone in a traditional supermarket setting. Retro futurism. Besides that, it's always clean when I go in, and they always have what I need. (Granted, a small selection, but still!)
They have all the local Athens stuff and are super convenient! Super sweet folks & the rotisserie chicken is awesome!
Seaman's is always a special stop when I visit Athens. There normally aren't many reasons to review a fairly nondescript smallish supermarket, but great things hide behind the doors of this anonymous looking building. Seaman's has a number of local products that no other grocery offers. I'm principally attracted to its frozen Athens Own offerings, which include dry-aged beef, sausage, lamb, goat and other delights. They also have fresh local beef and a good number of other local specialties like Frog Ranch salsa and Jackie O's beer.
