Wayfield Foods is a decent shopping option, though the customer service can vary from friendly to less accommodating, depending on the day. Generally, the store is kept clean, and the bathrooms are satisfactory. One thing that stands out is their consistent stock of meat, making it my go-to place when other stores run low.
A unique offering at Wayfield is their peanut butter cookies and Cajun dip or salad. The cook in the back seems to know their stuff, especially when it comes to the Cajun salad that I've personally enjoyed. If you're after an old-school vibe or need specific items like ham hocks for your Thanksgiving greens, this is the place to go; I've found things here that are unavailable elsewhere.
Pricing is a bit inconsistent, with some items being rather high, particularly those in the center of the store. However, the meats and seafood are reasonably priced, often even more affordable than at other stores. On the downside, their rewards program doesn't hold much value for me, and both the grocery carts and floors could use an update. Specifically, the carpeting doesn't look clean at all.
There's plenty of parking, though trash in the parking lots doesn't seem to be picked up daily. Despite these minor issues, I've been a longtime customer of this store and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. It's convenient location on the bus line makes it accessible if you're in the area and prefer to walk or take public...
Read moreThis store was wonderful the meat was well stocked the seafood department was clean and had great sales The produce was also equally esthetic. The store was well stocked and very organized. But upon getting to register which the cashier was all smiles and the front end cashier was as well I saw large cans holding up the screens that the cashier's was using and it wasn't just 1 it was 4 very highly energetic no smiling hard working cashiers. Now with the amount of money that I spent 251.38 and my friend as well over 200.00 I really feel that is a deplorable situation. There's absolutely no reason the cashier's should have to do this not to mention if a can fall on them or the patron of your store. I also noticed that all of the customers were crowded on one side of the store upon investigation all the registers were closed due to them not working, now why is this going on? Is it because most of the customers are Black and this store is in a predominantly black neighborhood? I've been to several of your other stores and these conditions aren't there??? Why? Follow up went back on Mother's day some of the cans were gone but the whole side of registers was still...
Read moreWakefield Foods is a little known grocery store maybe only to ATLantians lol. But it’s a great grocery store reasonable price is nice people and guess what they have birdseed for all the bird lovers out there. As a Digital Nomad I still feed birds squirrels deer chipmunks butterflies lizards whatever wildlife shows up. Endless entertainment as I’m working. When I’m in ATL I love going to my birdseed store, but of course they have to pay for real estate. I guess Amazon does too cause I’m always spending $13-$15 for a bag of my favorite cardinal Wild bird blend. Whereas at Wakefield, I can get a whole bag of cardinal Sunflower Seed Blend they love plus a smaller bag of the nighttime stuff I give them, ALL for under $13. Then while I’m there I stock up on veggies, fruits for my smoothies, frozen foods and they also have a great meat isle . It’s a neighborhood small store that has the feel of an old style Deli but warehouse size. Not always a big parking lot, but it’s a stop you want to make if you have a Wayfield in the neighborhood and worth exploring! You...
