Box Hill Grocer — Local services in Clayton

My first time visiting! was welcomed in , took my time shopping , lovely helpful people behind the prepared foods & deli counters, tasted & purchased delicious roast beef .. i will definitely be back.

That said - I rated a 4 only because the checkout person at the end was rude - made a loud comment to a few young male customers ‘you bring a nice young vibe here. everyone else who comes here is old’, with me standing there, grey hair, wrinkles & all.

I was not going to say anything about it. But then the rude dismissive manner she used with me + the nasty face she made as I was collecting my 3 bags & clearly my left shoulder pain was making her wait too long . I was too slow. not giving me my requested receipt … she didn’t care that I saw her & didn’t even realise what is wrong with treating anyone that way. I hope the management pays attention. & that they care enough to stop that behavior asap. Really bad for business..1 of those young men held the door for me on my way out . Much...

Unique. Creative. Groceries. Box Hill Grocer in Clayton, Missouri is the kind of place that makes you question why every street corner isn’t graced with its presence. Right next to Wright’s Tavern on Wydown Boulevard, this little gem is what happens when a farmers’ market and a boutique deli have a love child.

I wandered in expecting to grab a quick bite, and left emotionally attached. I got the the tuna salad of course #stlouispescatarianapproved creamy and perfect.

The store itself is a visual feast. Fresh produce, shelves stocked with gourmet goodies, and an ambiance that says you’re not just shopping; you’re experiencing.

Honestly, if I could, I’d petition to have a Box Hill Grocer on every block. It’s not just a grocery store; it’s a lifestyle. One visit, and you’ll understand why...

I just had the best ham sandwich of my life at Box Hill Grocer. It was the Ham & Gruyère with country-style mustard on a croissant (their life-changing recommendation). Apparently, the ham is from William’s Brothers in Washington, MO, and somehow they’ve created a sandwich that’s on a totally different level than any other I’ve ever eaten.

Matt McGuire and his team have always been magicians when it comes to food, but I usually find ham sandwiches boring. Thank you for showing me this is even possible!

So sorry I don’t have a picture — it was beautiful, but I ate...
