Short Pump Pub - Glen Allen

When I'm in Short Pump, I make a trip to Whole Foods. I am never disappointed and today was no different. This is not a store in which you expect to save/save/save! I know the prices are a little high, but I'm able to find things here that I can't find anywhere else. I interacted with staff several times and each of those times, I was assisted and then some. Great folks. I hope they get paid well! I wanted just a smidgen of blue cheese and at the cheese board, the gentleman was super helpful and cut a small piece even smaller for me. The butcher came out from behind the counter to show me where something was in the freezer (didn't expect that as he had just told me where it was). The store was buy, but not super busy, and everyone was working hard. I always want to spend a billion dollars in the fruit and vegetable section, but got away with only one bag. Whew. It all looked great. I sure wish we had a Whole Foods in my town. I'll be back next time I'm up that way.

In a saturated grocery marketplace Wholefoods stills reigns supreme because of their SERVICE!! Everytime I go to wholefoods I'm greeted by each employee I encounter and I leave with more than I came with both literally and figuratively. On my most recent trip to Whole foods we were on a quest to find Beef Bacon (it's really good btw and also hard to find) the butcher was so excited to help us and took pleasure in showing us his selection of bacon!! We were also really excited to receive a discount on our purchases using the Amazon prime app!!

PROS (and there are many): 1. The best hot and cold food bar/buffet in Richmond. Everything's fresh, nothing's to salty or spicy, new items introduced weekly 2. To die for tiramisu and tres leche cakes these are my all time favorites. 3. The quality of loose tea they serve is outstanding. Will definitely satisfy every tea lover's taste. 4. Beers and wines served at the bar are mostly local and small batch I like that. Broad variety too. 5. Freshly made sandwiches are delicious. My favorite is on the rye bread with a slice of rare roast of beef, olives, tomato and fresh greens yam! CONS: 1. The place is a bit too crowded at times 2. Prices are slightly higher than in other grocery stores in the area.

Oysters Review $1.25, fresh, shucked on the spot oysters!! Ask for the cocktail sauce that comes with it for free and grab the pepper/hot/sauce and beer at the bar for a great meal!

Placed an order for Thanksgiving only to arrive for pick up and was told they couldn't fill my order and then was told if I wasn't happy with their replacement, I could SHOP ELSEWHERE?!?!?!?!?!?! Very poor customer service and attitudes....
