Green Hills Farms

Love this store, experience and never having to wait in line to checkout. Their rotisserie chickens are second to none… when they don’t run out, as they do very, very frequently (thus the 3-star).

Ohhh Nooo how you UP the half moons prices and they don’t taste the same 😪 wayyyy too sweet nope bring the old Baker back ASAP!

Saw thier TV ad for craft beer choices. They do have a big selection. The make your own 6-pack is a great deal.

To start off I’d like to say I’m not from the area so I don’t have the pride the locals do for this place. Are they brainwashed? $15 for a shriveled up piece of white fish with no sides? What the heck is going on? Also, is it called Green HillsFarm because it stinks like a farm? you walk in, you get punched in the face with a manure smell. I wouldn’t go here if they didnt have the little bits and pieces aldis doesn’t have.

I have been going to green hills since I was a kid and my dad before me. We won't ever be back ever. They won't do anything at all if another customer decides to start harassing you. We literally had some old lady screaming at us about our baby IN FRONT OF THE MANAGER. he just looks at me and says she's just voicing her opinion. Don't expect to feel safe shopping here

Always love the hot food here. Plus they have an amazing bakery!

The homemade sub sandwiches are great (the bread is unbelievable)the pizza is pretty good too for a grocery store

I love a grocery store that has plenty of checkout cashiers working. They do that at Green Hills. The donuts are the best. Glazed sour dough is my favorite.

The workers are very friendly and helpful. The grocery items are priced fairly and there are some nice niche items that I can't always find close to home. I decided to try their sub and some baked goods since everyone raves about them. The sub was good but it didn't blow me away. I think if the roast beef was a little better quality it would have been great. The baked goods were decent but again they did not wow me. I'm sure this is a special store for folks that live nearby but I will probably only stop in if I am in the area like I was today.

I LOVE their produce, meats, seafood, and bakery! The meats and fresh seafood are better than anywhere in the area that I've tried over the past 6+ years, highly recommended by foodies I know, and I know that it's prime by the flavor! For a local smallish grocery it stocks a vast array of items - it also features local produce, and carries an amazing variety of BBQ sauces and unique salsas, the likes of which I haven't seen anywhere else in upstate NY! The bakery is EPIC. If you haven't tried Green Hills Farms you don't know what you're missing! Lovely employees, and highly recommended!

A great little grocery store. Excellent craft beer selection. Great deli and hot food available. Spacious and fully stocked. This is a little gem in the valley that has almost everything you need.

I am usually satisfied with my purchases at Green Hills Farms. My primary complaint is the quality of the peaches in the produce department. They go from an unripe state to a tasteless mush without getting ripe.

The best doughnuts & half moon (black & white) cookies in New York. The best bakery around.

Wow... I can literally live out of this store ... fresh food , decent prices.... Wow... Prime Rib cooked and cut to order

Today was my first day at Green Hills and I WILL NEVER SHOP ANYWHERE ELSE!! This place is soooooo big and has basically everything you could ever want. I came for firewood on a whim and found more than I could imagine. They are local owned grocery so prices are a little higher, but you're paying for quality and supporting local! Staff were so friendly and helpful. I got this very yummy salad! They have food to order as well. You've got to check this place out!! Tons of parking, accessible and overall great vibes.

A great place to shop. The bakery , the deli and meat department are unbeatable. Employees are so helpful. They bag all your groceries and load your cart at no extra cost. If your hungry they will make you fresh meals while you shop. Ribs, fish, Pizza, fried chicken, wraps, and subs. Come check it out.

I feel lucky that I found this place. After spending my adult life shopping at Wal Mart, Tops, Price Chopper, etc. there's something refreshing about going to an independently owned place that makes you feel like a human being. I'll admit I do still frequent the bigger chains for stock shopping, but I do so knowing I'll be cursing out loud on my drive home. This place is out of the way for most of us, so when I do come out I usually hit the Aldi down the road for the stock items. For regular name brand items, this store doesn't compete in terms of price and selection. What keeps me driving out here is the selection and quality in produce, meat, and bakery items. I try to get here early for the best selection in donuts and bagels, as they're among the best I've tried in the area. Their produce is always fresh, and they have the best quality and selection of meat. I've never ordered prepared food that I didn't like. They make great burgers and sandwiches. Their pizza and wings are average at best, I'd recommend going elsewhere for that. I'll always go for the meatballs or the mac and cheese if they have any ready to go. It's a decent roll of the dice if you're looking for something you can't find in other stores. I actually found this place while looking for pine nuts, and even months later, it's the only place I've ever seen them in stock.

Their breaded chicken thighs in the deli have no meat on them anymore. Just breading and bones,, why did they change??

Green Hills Farms is a local grocery store that's been in Syracuse for eons. It's rare to see an independent grocer these days, so that fact in itself is worth the visit. A little bit of a drive, but worth the trek. As you pull into the parking lot, a massive cow on the roof greats you. The interior decor is similarly striking. The baked good section is centered around a giant fake tree. I like to imagine this means that all the cakes and cookies are grown, not baked, and thus contain way fewer calories. Hearing legend of the store's epic cider donuts, I had my sights set on this classic fall treat. Unfortunately, when I arrived I found that all the donuts were in a pick-your-own cabinet, and in these times, I'm just too squeamish to count on the hygiene and common courtesy of my fellow human beings. This was a major bummer. There was a sign that you could call ahead 24 hours to request pre-packaged donuts 24 hours in advance, but I didn't see this notice on the website when I looked before coming. Was hoping that there would be a couple of packs of cider donuts on the pre-packaged table, since they're such a major draw, but no dice. Quickly pivoted and selected other Autumn goodies instead: pumpkin walnut cookies and apple cider cinnamon bread. The cookies were super soft, more like muffin tops really, than cookies, but I was all about it. The bread was sweet and fragrant and put me in the fall spirit. Worth noting that there's an admirable craft beer section, and lots of other areas of the market I didn't get a chance to explore. Cashiers and staff were very pleasant. This place definitely deserves the community's continued support!

Really need a zero rating. I did a poor review for this store about 10 months ago and never went back there. My son decided to go there. He ordered me a chicken salad wrap. It was horrific, the potato chips was soggy and some stale. Look at the pickles in the photo. It look like someone chewed and sucked the juice out of them. What a waste of a sale.

I am only reviewing the lunch I had here. I ordered the panini of the day, which was a tuna melt. First of all it was huge and only cost 7.49. It took me two days to eat. It came with home made kettle chips which were delicious as well. I also noticed they had a 2 slice of pizza and a soda deal there for 5 bucks, which nowadays is super cheap. They also had stuffed pizza or as some call it lunas that looked phenomenal. If you are in the area this is a great place for a inexpensive, tasty lunch.

You have to go there on Thursday at 4pm and try their fish dinner. I usually don't like fried fish, especially haddock. However, this fish was so fresh it was like it was from the water that Jesus walked on and fried to perfection. You get 2 sides with it as well. The potato wedges were delicious and seasoned nicely. I'll be saving the baked beans for later as I'm so full currently.

Such a great independently owned grocer that I've been coming to my whole life. Such a great variety, baked breads and goods, awesome deli and hot bar as well.

The best grocery store in Syracuse! They excel in customer service! You feel like you're with friends!

In 1925 on Rte 80, Carrie Hawkins sold vegetables on the road next to the family dairy farm. Her little stand was so successful that the family was encouraged to plant more crops and open a stand on the busier route 11 just down the road. Her son, Clifford, had the stand built in 1934 and it was named by Clifford's wife, Gladys, who looked out of her kitchen window one day at the hills surrounding the family farm and declared that the little business should be called the Green Hills Farm Stand. After a barn fire in 1949, they decided to sell the dairy farm and get into the grocery business instead. It is one of only 3 independent grocery stores left in the city, and by going here, you're supporting small, local business. Despite it's claim to be the "best little grocery store in America", many people seem to avoid Green Hills because of it's location on the city's south side, but I'm here to tell you, Green Hills is worth the trip. While it's not as nice as a Wegmans, Green Hills makes up for it with their selection. You'll find a lot of things here that you won't find at other, bigger grocery stores, smaller specialty brands and local favorites as well. Their produce and meat departments are always well stocked, and their bakery is amazing. Some of their breads and desserts are second to none in the city. They also have a pretty good deli, one of the few places in the city that sells select Boar's Head meats. Their customer service can be so-so, depending on who you deal with, but that can be said about any place. I find their prices to be pretty comparable to bigger chains, especially if you have their Green Hills card. I'd recommend a trip to anyone in the area, and the best little grocery store in America just might make you a regular!

Green Hills has excellent Donuts in baked goods in the bakery department they are big in size. Their hot food department is also great for lunch all around great little Farm Stand well I should say store I used to be a stand

Green Hills is a great grocery store. Thank you to the management team for enforcing the mask mandate, protecting your co -workers and customers. It is the right thing to do and all retail establishments should follow your lead. Now for all of the good things to talk about. The deli and the seafood department are amazing! I called an order into Rich for shrimp and their store made crab cakes with romoulade sauce. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and made a beautiful presents on our table. The crab cakes and sauce are so delicious, there is not a high enough number to give them. Over the years, the meat department has always provided their USD choice meats. For special events we request special cuts. They never miss! The baked goods have a multiple county wide reputation. When we tell people we live near Green Hills, they say tell me about their baked goods. Even though I am a senior senior citizen Heather always treats me with a smile and a cookie. I kid you not.

I support our local grocery store as my family and I have for over 60 years but after today I am Sorry to say I Will no longer . I placed an order for a dish dinner . After waiting in the store for an hour and 30 minutes I complains to the manager who apologized and then the 2nd manager laughed at me and said he checked the time I called and it was just over an hour I had to Wait not the full 2 hours . My fish was served to me cold despite numerous pieces of fish being brought up and placed for sale in the hot foods sold by the pound. Customer service catered only to the frequent fliers there and it was quite obvious. Blatant in fact. The fish as I stated was cold and also social distancing was not being recognized as people stood waiting for their dinners. We are in the middle of a pandemic and had my elderly mother-in-law not wanted this dinner I would have left . My mother in law through the coleslaw away before I could take a photo.

I have been shopping at Greenhills in the valley , where we purchased our first home in 2003. We moved to another, newest house in 2008 in Lafayette and continue to shop there once or twice a week. Their bakery is absolutely the best that I've seen in the Syracuse area. I only buy meat there when I know I will be cooking with it in a day or two, because I have noticed it goes bad quickly. The produce is good, although it doesn't compare to the Wegmans in DeWitt, so that if I know I am buying meat and produce I will make the longer trip there. The staff at Greenhills are courteous and friendly. It's a nice little place to shop when I am time constrained as there are no grocery stores in the Lafayette/ Tully area.

This is a solid grocery store with a nice selection of most items. We still miss our small grocery store (Nichols in Liverpool) but the prices here have been pretty comparable, and we typically come here weekly.

This place is fantastic! It's like if your local small grocery store and Whole Foods has a baby. They have so much stuff in their location! It's pretty shocking too because it's not exactly a large place. They have groceries, a bakery, an eatery, and even a bank! The food is super good too. I absolutely love their sandwiches! On top of that, their soups are so good. I shocked my wife when I said their chicken noodle soup was even better than the mighty Wegman's. Their bakery has some great stuff too. They recently were featured online for their amazing half moon cookies. After I read that article I flew to this place and they didn't disappoint at all! You will love coming here, that I can assure you. Don't worry about the location either. It's not too far away from Syracuse and it's not in a sketchy area either.

Great little community grocery store. Bakery and deli or fantastic. For added convenience they have a credit union inside.

I go shopping here at least once a week and always had a positive experience until recently. Was picking up pizza and beer, got to the register and the guy laughed at me and said my ID was probably fake because I looked young. Won't be going here for awhile now.

Great independent grocery store. Not as good as Wegmans and the other big guys as far as quality generics or pricing on non-grocery items, but Green Hills makes up for it with a good selection of different (many local) brands, an awesome bakery (great fresh doughnuts), good prepared foods, and a solid butchershop. Also, their beer selection is on-point these days.

Cute store with a good selection of items, when we lived here we used to go to Green Hills quite often. I like the selection of cheese and the canollis! It is a smaller store than Wegmans but if you need something quick this is definitely a good option. They used to sell elephant ears (pasty) but I haven't see them there the last few times I have been, perhaps they will bring then back soon :).

I have driven by this store for years and never stopped in. My mistake. While the store layout is a bit quirky, once you figure it out, you find they have a wide selection of foods, rivaling the big chain stores, with very reasonable prices. The bakery has a large selection of fresh baked goods. The meat selection is very good, the deli has Avery wide variety of meats, salads and prepared meals. I have found everyone to be friendly and efficient. I plan on visiting this store more often.

My very first job was as a bagger at Green Hills, and even then, I realized its value to the community. The store curates its products the way a museum curated art -- the items that are selected are thoughtful and varied but do not overwhelm you with too many options. They've done some of the work. They take pride in what they sell! The beer selection is great with a mixture of interesting craft beers and major brands. There's often a deal beer too. And finally -- the deli and the bakery. If you've had GH donuts then you know exactly what I'm talking about; they're so good that I have friends that will get angry at me if I visit without them. And the deli has a pizza and wings combination that is affordable and delicious. If you're a fried fish fan then order ahead on Friday and skip the crazy line. The sides are all choice.

Wonderful grocery store especially if you want to stay away from the "big box stores". I love the in store roasted pork in the deli section! If you love a pork roast this is for you, sandwiches or steam a slice or two for a quick dinner. They truly try to support local farms (their beginning) for fresh produce and dairy, think Hudson eggs and Byrne dairy milk, yogurts and butter. We also love the in store made, not just baked, breads and donuts.

The absolute best of everything quality meats friendly staff they make you feel like family And oh those doughnuts are the the best you will find anywhere

If you fancy a change from Wegmans or Pricechopper, try this place. Good selection, great meat choice and 1st class bakery. They also have a hot food station, hamburgers and so forth. Even a branch of Empower inside complete with ATM and coin changer.

Great sandwiches and lunch selection. Not a bad price. The only complaint is you have to pay at the regular checkout and then go around again to get back to the (very small) cafe. I think it is the best little grocery store in America. The people are nice. There is a Red Box outside.

stopped in to get their famous doughnuts and half moon cookies. doughnuts was a gamble bc only a few were labeled. picked up 3 and only the apple fritter was was correctly label, but it didn't have any apple in it. The half moon cookies were ok. Definitely not worth the drive from Syracuse to get them. The store was hopping however and the employees were nice. always great to support small businesses! we need them!

I love Green Hills. My family used to shop here when I was a kid, but as the price of everything is getting more expensive, I have returned to "The Best Little Grocery Store in America", home of the Black Angus beef. Green Hills is a smaller store that has a very impressive collection of eclectic brands that you find in the "gourmet" grocery stores. They have very fresh, local farm produce. Their bakery section is among the very best around. Their deli makes terrific fried chicken and other home-cooked dinners during the week. They have a great selection of deli salads that you won't find at many other places, and the prices are great. I literally get twice as many bags of food for the same price as I would pay at Wegmans. Now, I always go to Green Hills first, and save Wegmans for any fill ins. The only down side to Green Hills is their seafood section, which is OK, but you can't stock tons of everything when you are a small store and still be profitable. Seafood, of course, is very perishable. But they always have very affordable cooked whole lobsters, terrific shrimp salad, and so much more.

Donuts are second to none, excellent produce, bakery, and meat departments. Always hit and miss on the service you are going to get ordering a burger or pizza from the deli, as well as what kind of miserable mood your cashier will be in. Really good selection from a independent grocery store, and prices can be decent if you shop the sale ad. Just don't say I didn't warn you about the miserable employees!

Green Hills to me has the best donuts and muffins. The size, the taste, the simplicity, everything. The dough for their donuts is always the perfect texture and consistency. It almost has a sort of sweetness to it unlike other donuts I've had where Its just plain ol' dough. They don't have any wacky flavors like other places which is what I like. Old fashioned donuts will always win. I have had many chocolate muffins in my time and Green Hills still wins. It's like a dark chocolate batter instead of a regular chocolate. With chocolate chips on the inside and a little drizzle of some icing, they are perfect. They are so soft and moist on the inside. Their red velvet muffin is amazing as well. This is always my go to place for a donut or a muffin!

I really like this place. They have a lot of items other stores don't have. They have real butchers here so they have cuts of meats here that you don't normally see. They even butcher their turkeys on site. I like the way they take a turkey breast, debone it and roll it with the skin on. I cook those for dinner and then have enough for sandwiches. Their stuffed pork chops are great too. I don't do all my shopping here because it's pretty expensive on staple items. It seems that their philosophy is "We're going to carry a lot of items in stock so we're going to have to charge you to be able to do it". That seems fair enough. I always seem to get new dinner ideas when I come here.

Poor customer service, no one smiles, employees complaining in front of customers. Rethinking going here again, it's expensive too.

Bakery and produce is top notch, but in general the store is overpriced.

I stopped here with my family to get just a few things, I was just dropping off my passenger real quick in the front of the building, no cars lined up behind me. This worker comes out, " you cant park there in a rather rude manner" she said, no excuse ma'am we need you to pull up or anything, I told her I was just dropping off someone real fast, she rudely replied " your not allowed to be right here. So, I moved but it didnt stop there, I backed up in the parking spot and she comes back out, yells all the way from the door " you have a sign behind you that says no parking or standing", I told her I didnt see a sign and asked if these were parking spots since they looked like it. She repeated herself and then went in, I didn't appreciate her yelling across the lot to me or her rude tone. The sign she refers to, I checked, its facing towards the lot behind therefore, no one in front can see it. Thanks Green Hill lady for making my 1st time experience awful, I will not go in where I don't feel welcomed.

Went to Green Hills Farms as I heard meats, bakery and prepared foods selection is great. Made the mistake of purchasing some of the prepared foods only to realize they don't list heating/cooking instructions on their labels. When I called the store I was immediately put on hold and no one ever answered the phone. Probably won't shop or recommend to others. They do have a nice selection of meats and bakery items although their prepared meats (like kabobs) also lack cooking instructions.

Been going to GHF since I was little. Great neighborhood store with personality. Privately owned. Many of the employees have been there a long time and feel like family. Although many prices may be higher than some stores, their weekly specials are always good. Weekly drawings for free groceries. Quality meat offerings, an above average produce department, a bakery with the best doughnuts around and a deli with lots of delicious choices - with specials - makes this store one I suggest you should check out.
