“ Jean recommended Bob's, I had no idea that they catered. Julie and her Deli Team helped with a corporate event for Childrens Minnesota and the Minnesota Society of Respiratory Care. Julie was wonderful to work with, and made the process very easy and seamless. The food was perfect and priced reasonably! Darren and Eric delivered and help set up. They went above and beyond to make sure we were prepared for our event and that the food was ready. Thank you, Bob's Produce, for helping with this very important event and making it even more special with fabulous food!! We will be back!!! ”
“ It's like you've taken a small step back in time. When the owners ran their business, valued their employees and bring the best they can find to their market! Nevada Peaches... who knew?! Awesome deli and FRESH salad bar. Super clean inside even a large area to sit and enjoy the "Fruits" of your findings! ”
“ Bob has more customers this year! Fresh veggies package is only .99. Many types of pumpkins and squashes reminded me the colorful fall has arrived. ”
“ Nice quality meat, good, no great selection of vegetables and fruit! Really fresh! The bakery is expensive but good treats. The old fashioned donuts are especially good- ”
“ Sometimes the prices are high but the quality is usually dependable. I haven't been in a while because I don't drive. ”
“ Always a pleasure to go into the store and see whats new. Fresh products, friendly staff. ”
“ Best place in the world!!! It's a smaller store. It's perfect for picking up fresh veggies, fruit, bakery.. Birthday cakes, ice cream in freezer section. Different meals in their refrigerated shelves, ready to go; heat up yum. During lunch they have hot food ready to serve up and you can take it to go, or eat it there on the side of the store general eating area. Everyday is a different special. They sell lottery tickets, and always have "made up trays" of fruits or veggies or Salsa with avacodo dip. It's organized and feels very friendly and family orientated. They have a butcher shop too. Specials on eg. Rib eye, ground beef or other various types of beef. Pork chops, lion pork pattis with no bone. Fresh shrimp, cod, salmon, tuna, tilapia.... It's fresh, it's friendly, it's positive & upbeat. Got lunch specials are delicious and their is usually a line. ”
“ I thought this place was pretty cool. I needed some lettuce and I was in the area. I tried the potato salad and it was delicious with plenty of egg in it. I spotted in house made mashed potatoes and immediately thought to make some Shepherd's pie and it was delicious. It's hard to pass by the bakery so I picked up some very rich eclairs. A 4 pack of chocolate cupcakes, although good had an unusually soft frosting. What a great discovery. ”
“ This is a happy place especially in late summer. Best sweet corn, peaches and all of the other MN grown vegetables. Wait!! I forgot great but I just went for the skin on weiners , I won't buy packaged any more. I got myself a couple peaches and they put them in a brown bag to ripen on counter for a day ... This place has been around for at least 50 years.... stop here before your next bbq ”
