Oak Grove Market

This area is extremely fortunate to have Oak Grove Market in the neighborhood. I’ve been in here several times a week for a few years now and feel spoiled to have it so close by. Their meat selection is exceptional. They almost always have prime ribeyes and NY strips, incredible filets, and I recently grilled a two pound flank steak from here that was incredible. Their pork chops, sausages, and fish are also as good as it gets, the latter being much better quality than the grocery stores but not a crazy amount more expensive. Their wine selection is surprisingly good and there’s plenty of tasty stuff in the middle aisles if you peruse a bit. The premade, prepackaged goods in the fridges are life saving. I get the chicken salad all the time when I’m in a pinch, not to mention the various cold side dishes you can get at the deli counter (shoutout to the black eyed peas stuff especially). The breakfast bar in the morning is awesome. Crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, burritos or sandwiches cooked to order, biscuits and gravy, all the classics. Oscar is usually dishing out the goods like a pro. The freezers are filled with delicious desserts like those big ole ice cream sandwiches, king of pops, or whatever other goodies they’ve got. And I’ve not even mentioned all the daily, freshly cooked hot meals! You can order ahead or see what they’ve got in the early evening. The sandwich bar and those Reuben’s are legit (all freshly sliced Boars Head). Veggies are fresh, they usually have some quality cured meats and cheeses to choose from, and even some nice homemade dressings and other treats. Of course prices will often be higher than chain stores, but you get what you pay for and you’re supporting a local business. Love this place and hope it continues to succeed for a long long time.

Great neighborhood grocery store that offers fresh produce, staples, prepared meals and takeout breakfast, lunches at the counter, and even dinners. They also have catering. One can eat outside at the tables. Friendly service and down home atmosphere. Prices are reasonable. Take out meals are fresh. They even offer a weekly menu with a nice variety of takeout dinners for two for around $25!!!

Truly a local staple! This place has everything, breakfast sandwiches, dinner meals, hot sauce, meat. You name it! Great place to pick up hot food for a tasty dinner. If only they only had espresso they really would have everything!

I love our neighborhood grocery store. I often go there for fresh produce and meat, especially for delicious, home-cooked, flavored to-go meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a reasonable price. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean. They have a few tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your meal if you are too hungry to wait until your get home:)

It's a great little neighborhood sports bar that always makes you feel welcome and serves great bar food. I bring all my friends here.

A friendly, neighborhood place to stop in for a snack or groceries or wine. They also have prepared meals to order through their website. Groceries run in expensive side but very convenient for those forgotten or specialty items. Would get 5 stars if items weren’t as expensive.

OGM is one of my favorite stores on Earth and I feel lucky to live so close by. I can always find all the essentials for a good meal and they carry high quality groceries with a full butcher shop to boot. The prepared food and dinners are great too. I regularly pick up roasted chickens, grilled meats, baked goods and am never disappointed. Amazing pico de gallo and guacamole, and the tamales are excellent. Everyone is super friendly and just a great atmosphere.

This place, OAK GROVE MARKET, has all things good & tasty! IF they don't have it, they will find it for you. Their dinners & lunches are packed very well so you cannot carry them home to dine. They are sweet people so treat them nice!

I found out about this place when I looked up good brunch places, this one took me back to NYC. This is a grocery store/meat market but towards the back, they are cooking up a hot lunch and breakfast. Now right now I can only report on breakfast (I'll be back for lunch). Got the sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll & threw in another sausage biscuit. Now let me tell you I generally have a man's appetite but these two sandwiches are too much for one sitting if you ask me. I'll have to get the extra DLC pack to eat this and not be sick and stuffed. This location has a private lot so parking shouldn't be an issue another winner for the Decatur food scene '

I purchased the fish and chips special. The fish was fishy, like noticeably and grossly and the fries were soggy. I got that special because the other special of chicken parm looked a mess on the serving stand. There was a bucket of wings over it and a plastic sauce container swimming in the red sauce so I opted for the fish. Looks great, but isn't. I feel like I wasted money and am annoyed.

This homey market is reminiscent of the small town butcher shops that had fresh meats, fruits/veggies and cheeses. This one also has a wide variety of ice cream sandwiches, which are HUGE! Everyone was friendly, the prices were very fair and they had a couple of tables out front so you can sit and enjoy the treasures you just bought. I recommend The Classic ice cream sandwhich!

I can't hide my excitement for this tiny market in the suburbs of Atlanta. Over two visits I'm impressed enough to provide a full 5 star. Great service and products. The market located in a strip is easy to access. Parking seemed adequate to pull up directly in front of the business. The lot and walk up clear of debris. The store is not large but it provides a lot within its four walls. A deli and sandwich shop, butcher and prepared meals among the larger areas. They have much more. They are known for a prepared dinner menu, follow them on social media for their line up. It's a quality place so be prepared to pay a premium on items. My first visit I got a Cuban sandwich and the owner made it. He was so friendly as he worked hard on a line back to the butcher shop. The checkout was even more impressive as the woman was a delight and fun to talk to. I ate the sandwich outside at one of their tables and it was authentic and delicious. Another visit was to pick up some odds and ends for the hotel. Of particular note was the tiramisu, just WOW! If your local you already know what a gem. However if your from out of town Oak Grove should be highly considered.

We popped in to grab a sandwich and we were so glad we did! It is a cute little market with a ton of great meat selections to take home and cook too! We stuck with sandwiches to go - got the Cuban and the prime rib. Both were absolutely delicious! The prime rib was tender and very flavorful, and the pork on the Cuban was tasty too. We both got the mango broccoli salad. The dressing was light and tangy - it could have used a tad more mango but the mango that was there was a nice compliment to the crunchy broccoli. We also ended up with a couple of bags of local crackers and pimento cheese that we noticed while waiting to order our sandwiches - both the pita crackers and the Ranch saltines were so yummy! The gal that checked us out was super friendly - the guys making the sandwiches were nice too. I saw a sign about checking out the wine...next time we're in we will be buying some meat and wine to pair with it for sure.

My husband and I have been coming here every so often for years now, and I realized that I've never reviewed! We've come here just a couple of times for the Saturday special, chicken nachos, which have been a fun meal at the end of the week. You just have to come pretty early to make sure you're able to get your hands on some. We've also stopped by for the chicken salad when we're in the mood for some and don't have bandwidth to make it ourselves. It's pretty good on its own, but we tend to add a seasoning or two just to amp up the flavor. Either way, it's nice to have available for a quick snack during the week. My husband likes the brownies, and we love that there's a little something for everyone. Nice spot to have in the neighborhood!

I can't say enough about the quality of their meats!!! They have become our "go to" when we're in the mood to cook steaks. Everything steak I've made that came from here as been phenomenal. They have a large variety of meats, chicken, seafood etc. They also sell prepared foods. The to-go prepared foods that I've seen have been ridiculously overpriced in my opinion. $18 for servings of green beans, brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese that might feed 2 people is a bit much. I've always seen lines at the the counter for prepared foods though, so I'm assuming the food is good. I've tried a lemon cake from them was a bit on the dry side, but a cookie that I tried was pretty good. I've always received good customer service from the staff. I'm a huge fan of quality and they have yet to disappoint. I'd absolutely recommend them for all of your butcher needs.

Oak Grove Market is amazing!!! Such a great convenient market in the Oak Grove area down the street from Tucker. I haven't shopped there a lot but I love going stopping by in the morning for their fresh breakfast. The bacon egg and cheese biscuit is to die for. As a little neighborhood market they have the simple needs. Like bread, condiments, veggies, cold cuts, poultry, beer, pork, and seafood. The staff in there is always so kind and friendly!!

As always great food and service, whenever I'm in area I always try y stop by and grab some lunch or even baked goods. Dinners are really good too.

I love this place! It reminds me of a hometown grocery store, which it is, but a lot more. The butcher and meat counter is great here. They have some steak skewers that my kids absolutely love! They also make sandwiches and have a hot meal counter too. Chips and salsa are always on point as well.

Today was the first time in over two and a half years since I've visited Oak Grove Market, and a lot of things have changed during the time I was gone. Oak Grove Market is in a small strip mall in Decatur. I've only been here on Saturday mornings, and parking in the free parking lot has always been available. Oak Grove Market's employees all wear face masks, and customers are required to wear face masks. The employees are friendly, quick, efficient and provide excellent customer service. This business always had a Mom and Pop feel, but now it also has a Mom and Pop look. There is no longer indoor dining allowed. All of the tables have been removed from the middle of the store and were replaced by racks of packaged food items. Oak Grove Market has different sections: a fresh meat department, fresh seafood department, deli department including cold salads and deli meats, and a hot food bar that is available during breakfast and lunch hours. Refrigerated items are along one of the walls. There are some tables out front to eat at when the weather is nice. The main reason why I like this place is because of the breakfast menu at the hot food bar. My favorite item is the breakfast burrito. The employee at the hot food bar pressed a big flour tortilla in the grill and got the tortilla hot enough to melt a slice of cheese on it. While this is happened, he hand chopped strips of cooked bacon. He then piled scrambled eggs onto the burrito and placed the chopped bacon on top of the egg, and then rolled everything tightly with the tortilla and cut it in half before wrapping it in paper, and placing it and a generous amount of salsa into a plastic cup into a take out container. The breakfast burrito is fully packed with food and is so delicious. We were going to eat our burritos at home, but, instead, ate it in the car because I wanted to eat the food while it was still hot ... not to mention that I was starving already. I savored the burrito the entire time I was eating. The salsa added a nice salted spiciness that enhanced the burrito's flavor even more. I was full when I finished off the burrito. I could probably eat one of these burritos every day because they're so good! Reasonable prices, friendly and efficient employees and great tasting breakfast burritos made this morning's experience memorable! I have to come back more often.

I almost don't want to give OGM 5 stars because I want it to stay a local neighborhood favorite.. T_T I moved into the area earlier in 2018 and always pass this plaza on my commute. One Saturday afternoon, we stopped by to check it out, and then it changed our lives. Now I try to stop by every Saturday for their chicken nachos..those days are my favorite Saturdays. Food -- I've had a breakfast platter (~$5) that comes with choice of bacon or sausage, eggs, grits and biscuit, a brisket plate (~$11), shrimp and grits ($11-12??) and their chicken nachos ($7.99). And... I recommend it all! I have to slowly try more menu items. I will say that I noticed the chicken nachos taste better around noon or later. It's actually ready around 10:15ish but the cheese sauce needs time to thicken. It seems a lot soupier before noon. Ambience and service -- it's always packed here on the weekends! Not so much in the morning, but lunchtime is super busy. It's a market-style dining, it's also very small with some outside seating available. On super busy days, parking can be a challenge. But I've always had a good experience with the people behind the counters. When they know I'm waiting, they try to get my order ready as quickly as they can and then come around to personally give me my order when they're not busy.

Great "meat & 3" for a quick reasonably priced lunch with lots of choices and quick service. Friendly staff too! I also like the groceries they have available, including so many gluten free options! Their meat selection is wonderful! So nice they are in the neighborhood providing a convenient meeting place, which every community should have. Check it out, you're sure to love it!

I had never eaten here but decided to try it and ordered in with Grubhub. We ordered chicken salad sandwiches, salad combo, onion rings and wings. Everything was delicious!! Onion rings very good and that's hard to find. Wings very good without any kind of sauce. I prefer them this was. They were very tasty!! I loved the chicken salad !! Eyes bigger than stomachs so haven't tried salads yet. I'll let you know!!

This is a great local spot with a large selection of brunch/lunch items. It's pretty basic, a real old-town local market feel. I have had the lunch special (salmon+1 side) and the Reuben sandwich. Portions were large and satisfying. Basic Coca Cola cups and plastic plates/silverware. You order at the counter and pay once you leave. The sweet tea is the perfect level of sweet, and the ice is soft and crunchy. They also have an assortment of other features including a meat market, an ice cream counter (only $2.00 per two scoops), and a fruit and veggie stand. They have a pre-prepared food section where you can pick up lasagna and other items which you can pop into the stove at home. My parents live with walking distance from this place and it has become a staple in our life. I look forward to stopping by for a meal when I'm visiting from Augusta. Awesome all around! Prices are affordable!

Food is just ok. Lady that checks you out gives me bad vibes every time I'm in there.

I've been here too many times to count! Wonderful market and take away hot food with covered outdoor seating. Masks are required and staff wear them. Friendly place! Plenty of choices of beverages and fresh food.

I really love this market but shopper beware! Too much of what I buy here (and at a premium price) isn't exactly fresh, suspect, or just inedible. Lobster salad, at $12.99 for a pint (I think) is absolutely delicious but not made and packed fresh often enough for my taste. This premium product should be made and packed every three days maximum IMHO. I bought bad milk but they made it right. They have an interesting selection of products and meat. But don't carry vegetables to cook alongside your meat for dinner. Sometimes there's broccoli casserole. And they carry lovely salads including shrimp salad with sour cream and dill and lemon, I think. Their chicken casserole did not agree with me, and that's an understatement. No bread sold. Beautiful antipasto. Lots of beloved and hard to find sodas. Check the dates on products you're considering, and enjoy!

A great local spot for breakfast or lunch in Oak Grove near Emory and Decatur. OGM's lunch specials are awesome! There's a reason why this place is packed around lunch time. I like their lobster roll that they have on Tuesdays, I believe. They have yummy onion rings and other sides to go with your sandwich. They also make tasty sandwiches made with Boar's head meats and cheeses. OGM also makes pre-made take and go dinners as well as sides like potato salad, shrimp salad and more. Back in the day this place used to have a slushee machine but I think it's no longer there. They have good ice cream and king of pops if you're still looking for a cold treat.

Great grab and go breakfast! Enjoyed the fruendly team behind the counter and the fresh breakfast options.

I first learned about the Oak Grove Market from the TV show Atlanta Eats in 2013. I'm kind of surprised I hadn't heard of this place until then. It started out as Northeast Meats in 1969 and changed its name to Oak Grove Market in 2000. This is a small, popular neighborhood market that sells produce, meats, and has a deli. One of my coworkers goes to the butcher here for his meats. I visited Oak Grove for a Saturday lunch around 1:00pm and the business was busy. There were several families, small groups, and middle-aged to elderly folks. This review is based upon my lunch experience, so I can't comment on the breakfast (7:00am-10:00am), butcher shop, or produce. Lunch is available 10:30am-3:00pm. The market totally has a throwback 1950s American diner theme from the checkerboard flooring to the retro metallic and glossy red cushioned booths and tables. A distinct red couch and coffee table are front and center when you enter the store. A few small flatscreen TVs hang from above in the middle of the dining area. There's limited, covered, outdoor patio seating. The shelves of produce are limited. You can buy refrigerated items like Oak Grove's pre-made meatloaf. The butcher is in the back and stocks a variety of meats and seafood, mostly beef. There's also chicken, pork, lamb, and veal, along with salmon, tilapia, and shrimp among other seafood. Next is the deli. You line up and order cafeteria style. The deli's menu is on the wall. Alternatively, you can just look into the deli case and underneath the hot lamps and see what's available. Almost everything has already been cooked and prepared, so the plates are assembled and handed to you on a tray. At lunchtime, they have mainstays of Brunswick stew, wild rice and chicken soup, and chili. There's a deli case filled with a variety of cold salads. Sandwiches are available using Boar's Head meats. Hot items include burgers, hot dogs, wings, ribs, chicken fingers, pizza, and chicken sandwiches. Nothing too crazy. There are rotating daily food specials. On Saturday, it's the chicken nachos ($7.99). Lunch prices are affordable as almost all meals are under $10 per person. Similar to a cafeteria, you take your tray to a cashier where he/she will ring you up. Drinks, silverware, and napkins are self-serve. I haven't tried any desserts, but I did notice a King of Pops bin on the way out. Score. I tried the following lunch items: Chicken nachos special Ribs Pulled pork Potato salad Broccoli mango salad Black bean and corn salad Coleslaw Overall, I thought the food was okay. It's straightforward, simple, and classic American foods with a sort of home-cooked quality to them. I'd say the lunch foods are comparable to cafeteria quality, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I enjoy eating at some Southern cafeterias. The chicken nachos consisted of small, deep-fried nachos drenched in a layer of shredded chicken and cheese. The shredded chicken and cheese resembled and tasted like a version of chicken salad. I wasn't a big fan of the chips. They seemed generic, hard, and overly greasy. Perhaps overcooked? The ribs were disappointing especially since they were the most expensive lunch item at $10.99. I received a half rack of ribs with a side of BBQ sauce. I waited as the ribs were reheated in a microwave before being served to me. I use a microwave at home because I can't cook, but I don't really expect a microwave to be used when go out and order food. I frown upon it like Robert Irvine of Food Network's Restaurant: Impossible frowns upon it. Restaurants should be serving food cooked fresh, not microwaved. I wouldn't have minded about the microwave as much if the ribs tasted good, but they didn't. The meat was dry and tough and the rub just wasn't flavorful nor appetizing. The ribs definitely tasted like they were leftovers that had been sitting out for a while. I gave away a couple ribs to one of my dining companions. He'll eat anything. He took a bite and put the ribs down. That's how bad they were. Another disappointment was there were no wet naps. Any place that serves ribs should stock wet naps. The pulled pork fared much better than the ribs. The pork was pulled fine and, when mixed generously with the supplied BBQ sauce, were tender, smoky, and tasty. A solid effort there and this was one of the best items I tried. I generally enjoyed the various deli salads. I found them to be mostly mild. Not too sour or tangy. The potato salad seems to be one of the most popular salads. They use red potatoes and slather it in plenty of egg and mayo. I liked the broccoli mango salad too. The corn salad and slaw were fine. One of my tablemates ordered a Boar's Head roast beef sandwich. He thought it was okay, but nothing special. You can get a similar Boar's Head sandwich from a Publix deli. The staff was friendly and hospitable. The sole restroom is located in the back, behind the meat section.

MY FAVORITE PLACE IN ATLANTA- they have a woman who makes the absolute best cake slices fresh every day- an inspiration. their breakfast (and all their hot foods really) is so good and super affordable. they are also in the same complex as ella guru records, best record store in atl

This is a very nice corner store and market. Everyone was nice and it's a great place to meet family and friends for lunch. The area is really nice also.

Another place I've been meaning to try since moving to Tucker, finally made it my last weekend here. The locals love this place and the only time the parking has availability is when it's closed. They have a lot of loyal fans but my review is for my lunch only. It's located in a small strip mall in the middle of a residential area. The parking lot is on a pretty decent slope and shared with several other popular spots. Going on a Saturday afternoon I had to drive around and wait for a spot, any spot. There's a small eating area in the middle of the deli and a few more tables on the sidewalk outside. My order was to go. I had the chicken nachos and a half slab of ribs for later. The chicken nachos could be a lot less chicken and a lot more cheese. It was bland and was lacking texture and taste. I mostly ate around the dish. I'm glad I had the ribs for later because I had to eat some to have good lunch. The actual ribs were very meaty but again lacked taste that I expected. No smoke flavor at all. It was like they were boiled and maybe baked with sauce? Now again that's just from what I had and you don't keep folks loyal without some good items. They have lots of sandwich options and other hot items as well. Best of all is they have an icee machine

This place makes everyone happy! Kids love the chicken fingers and burgers. Adults love their signature chicken salad, perfectly roasted salmon, and Thursday steak lunch special. The nightly dinner to go is delicious and perfect for busy nights where cooking at home is a challenge. Their staff is so friendly, helpful and they carry many local products. Definitely the perfect spot to grab lunch or dinner to go, pick up something for the grill, get ice cream or an icee, and kitchen essentials.

This local spot is the BEST place to meet for lunch. From the perfectly sweetened tea to the HUGE variety available for lunch, there is something for every one! If you go on Saturday, make SURE you get the chicken nachos. I have to mention this is also a first rate meat market with fresh produce and prepared foods. They ALSO offer nightly dinner specials you can order ahead and pick up.

I have wanted to try this place since it was on Atlanta Eats and it didn't disappoint! Cute little market with a good butcher selection plus little produce and dairy coolers. Good selection of local sauces and rubs for meat. The deli/take away counter has a great selection of salads, sandwiches and meat + options. We tried the bbq ribs with broccoli salad and beet salad and the wings (1/2 honey bbq and 1/2 plain seasoning). Everything was delicious. Ribs were fall off the bone. Wings were well season and cooked perfectly. I really like their beer salad. Cute little dining area that has an old soda shop feel. Really cute breakfast or lunch spot.

really awesome little local market. I bought some artisan bread from a local Atlanta bakery and some roast beef from their deli. It made a killer sandwich when i got home. I'll definitely be back!

The reviews on here do not this place justice! I was so worried going in that there wouldn't be enough seating, but that wasn't the case. The place was packed but there was still plenty of space inside and even a couple of tables outside. I got a hot pastrami melt with pasta salad which was delicious! My husband got the meatloaf and two sides and it was also so good! I loved the laid back mom and pop deli feel. We will definitely be back!

This was an awesome experience. Looked for a breakfast place around the area my company is working at and I chose to give this place a try. You walk in and the place is alive! The noise level surprised me a bit but it's just a bunch of people interacting during a great breakfast experience. I walked around and looked at everything that they sell and then I proceeded to the hot food area. I told the gentleman I had never been here before but that I wanted a breakfast sandwich. He asked me a couple of questions and in less than 3 minutes my sandwich was ready. It cost me $5.05 which I think is pretty freaking cheap and it is really good, made with real ingredients! Everyone is very friendly and everything looks appealing! The style of this place is like you're going back in time to Johnny Cash's time or Pulp Fiction. All these elders dressed with so much style. I dig it & i'm coming again

This is one of my favorite places in all metro Atlanta. It's a butcher shop that started grilling it's own meat for breakfast and lunch. What's great is not only their meat dishes, but also their salads are supreme. When someone comes into town in my neighborhood, this is where I take them.

The meals are a real deal. The lunch and breakfast meals here are an amazing deal. You can get a hearty breakfast for under 5 bucks. I get two sides of meat, some grits and a juice for 4.50. Really. Lunch is a deal as well with weekly specials. Everyone has their favorite. I like the steak special. It is a neighborhood scene from Norman Rockwell. They have booths and tables where the locals hang out to catch up with each other. In the morning, there are old timers grouped together telling the same old tales and talking politics. There are business folks that stop by for a quick bite. There are parents enjoying a cup of coffee or a snack in a safe place with their kids. The owner is usually at the register and chats up the regulars. School kids mill about all afternoon. The butcher shop here is not organic so I don't buy that here. If you like that safe, small-town, family feel at great prices, eat here.

I stepped in for lunch earlier today and it was bustling; most of the tables inside were occupied, there were lines at the register and counter, but the staff worked quite efficiently and we received our meals and paid in no time at all. There's such a large variety on the menu, you can definitely find what you're looking for: several different types of sandwiches, there's hot dogs, pizza, pasta, even ribs! I chose the lunch special ($7.99) which was a Tilapia Taco and a choice of side - I had potato salad. I was hoping there was a missing 's' from the taco - $8 for one taco is just crazy. There wasn't - but was much larger than your average taco - they used a medium size tortilla and there were several thin fillets of tilapia inside. It was pretty decent, nothing spectacular. The potato salad was good but spicy - too spicy for my taste, I think I may have had my first heart burn afterwards. The BF had a roast beef sandwich, which was cut into two halves. It was good, the roast beef was definitely some quality cuts. Still I found the sandwich as a whole to be a lesser quality of those served at Savi and Sugar Shack and they're all at the same price range. Overall it was a decent meal but a little pricey for what is served.

Wow. Thursday lunch special: Steak and two sides for $9.99. The steak was juicy and tasty. I got a baked potato and onion rings on the side. The potato was good and the onion rings were ok. I've never been to the market. Very cool place. 5 stars for the steak and for the price.

This is one of those places where everybody knows your name. Maybe if this is your first time they won't. But soon afterwards you'll be recognized as a regular. There's a good group of folks who go here daily on the morning lunchtime afternoon rituals. You can get fixings for dinner your morning coffee, breakfast, lunch, almost anything you need. The Oak Grove market is a small store with a great meat department prepared food and a small grocery area, but really they have almost everything you need in this small store. I usually use the Oak Grove market for breakfast once a week and for the occasional dinner rescue mission in the afternoon.

Great daily specials. The food never disappoints us. The service is always helpful and super friendly. Many choices for a quick lunch in the neighborhood!!

The Oak Grove Market is located in Decatur on Lavista RD and Oak Grove RD. It is in the same shopping center as two establishments I have mentioned earlier, Beer Growler Nation and Carolyn's Cupcakes. I would like to begin this review with a disclaimer. The Oak Grove Market is a business that sells a number of quality meats as well as serves meals prepared in store. This review is only about the meals served, as I have not yet sampled the cut meats. The menu is extensive enough and quite ordinary - one can order BBQ ribs, chicken tenders or wings, several types of fish, a variety of sandwiches, hamburgers and hot dogs as well as a number of prepared salads and cakes. The Oak Grove Market is nearly always quite busy but the staff is friendly, quick and never makes their customers feel rushed. I have been several times and sampled the steak and pastrami sandwich. For better or worse, their simply isn't much to say about them. The meat is certainly of good quality. The bread is, well, bread. The sandwiches can be dressed in any way you desire, but that certain "umph" is lacking. In other words, it's a good meal. You won't leave hungry or unsatisfied, nor will you particularly blown away. Truth be told however, I'd take a sandwich from the Publix deli over this one. That may come across as crass and insulting, but let it be said I'm actually quite the fan of that place. The pricing for the prepared food is a bit out of range for the taste and portioning. The prepared salads are approximately $8.00 and most sandwiches range from $7.00 - 10.00. Finally, if you had to ask me if I'd visit The Oak Grove Market again, the answer would be maybe. There is a prime rib sandwich on the menu that does look quite good that may warrant bumping the restaurant up another star in my review. We shall see. Given the generally positive reviews The Oak Grove Market as received you may want to give it a shot if you're in the area, but at this point I'm neither especially high or low on this business. Pros: Decent, serviceable, quickly made sandwiches and friendly staff. From all I've heard, outstanding quality cut meats. Cons: Price somewhat out of range for quality and size of sandwiches. Verdict: Recommended, if someone else is buying you lunch.

This is your adorable neighborhood butcher shop and diner. I usually go here for breakfast. The food is fresh and reasonably priced. We got two breakfast sandwiches (bigger than my face) for under $10. I got the egg, cheese and bacon on wheat toast and my boyfriend got egg, cheese, homemade sausage, and bacon on rye bread. They do not skimp on the bacon! The sandwich was so big, I ended up just eating the insides without the bread. Some other items I've tried: OGM breakfast- $4.99 for eggs, bacon, biscuit and grits. You really can't beat that price! Soup - chicken and wild rice or Brunswick stew $4.99 or 6.99 depending on the size They also do a lunch menu too with a deli section. I haven't purchased any of their meat, poultry, or seafood yet, but it looks fresh. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. You usually see a lot of the neighborhood there and definitely makes feel more connected

A friend brought the Super Bowl cupcakes to our Super Bowl party. They were divine! Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting. I'm still thinking about them.

Five stars because there is no other place like this in Atlanta. To begin with lets talk about a top notch butcher shop. Need a rib roast crowned? Brisket that they trim and tenderize? Pork chops that are the right thickness? This is a butcher shop with knowledge, and quality a foodie looks for. There are a lot of specialty shops for ingredients but OGM is a place you can buy all your meats that wont break your budget. Along with a butcher shop how about a local sandwich shop, meat and 2, and ice cream shop in one? The menu is basic with a different special daily. The don't miss is the chicken nachos on Saturdays, the chicken and wild rice soup, and the shrimp and dill salad! This is a local hangout so expect to find families and the local tweens eating lunch or picking up a selection to put on the grill. Go more than once and Mark will know your name.

Sooooo....what does $10 get you in the ATL?? Well at Oak Grove Market it gets you steak (strip or filet), potato, salad and a drink every Thursday. As far as I am concerned this is the best lunch deal in the city - a belief underscored by the fact that there were no less than 3 different law enforcement organizations represented at the oak Grove Market today. These guys know a good deal and so do I!! This isn't Rathbun's or BLT Steak but I am not going there for that type of experience. Great food & an exceptional price = regular visits in the future.

My review is only for Oak Grove as a butcher shop, not a restaurant. This is no longer the place to go for custom butchering. I used to be able to get beef short ribs, lamb leg steaks, veal chops, goat - pretty much anything. They now have good quality commodity beef. To get anything unusual you have to buy a large part of the animal and break it down yourself. The NC trout is excellent. The ground beef is good but they did not have ground lamb. Maybe I came on a series of bad days.

Best meal in town on any given day there is a special , Thursday is my Favorite "SteakDay" for $9.99. Love the area , plenty of seating indoors or out .

Awesome find!!! Cutie little place and the people who run the market are extremely friendly! They have a quick buffet style for lunches and dinners along with daily specials! You can also find fresh meat here including steaks, ground chuck/sirloin, hot dogs and more! OGM is very reasonably priced!!! Also, don't forget to try weekend breakfast buffet style! It is cheap and amazing!

Okay, so this place isn't a market exactly. Well, it is kind of is, but not really. It's more of a deli... but not entirely. Maybe it's better described as a cafe, but again, not really. While I cannot tell you what this place is exactly, I can say that I really enjoyed my experience there. It's like a coffee shop made it with a deli and a bodega. You buy your eats from the counters around the edge of the store, deli/cafeteria-style, then you either head on your way or do what I did and chill out while you eat on the huge velour sectional sofa that dominates the decor! It was like eating at a friends house or something; you can just sit back and chill, using a coffee table to eat off and chatting with the strangers from the neighborhood who come in and out throughout the lunch hours. A really interesting experience, and a good place for a first date. As for the food, it's very good. I had a prime-rib sandwich and savored every bite! I'm looking for excuses to get back that way for lunch just so I can see what else is really good on the menu. High recommend it for lunch!

I have had luck at Oak Grove Market buying tender steak and pork tenderloin at the butcher counter. My steak of choice is New York Strip. Steak can be hit or miss tenderness-wise in general, but we have had no clunkers here. OGM also carries seafood and gourmet and convenience items and they run a lunch counter where you can eat sandwiches in. It is reminiscent of a deli with a different product selection. OGM made Ms. Di and I a meat dish (sliced beef tenderloin) and two veggie sides for a party for 25. We picked up the food and served it hot in our home shortly thereafter. Reliable and timely service, accurate cost estimate and great-tasting. So, catering is also recommended. Mmm-mmm-mmm. If you live in the Emory/CDC/VA area and enjoy gourmet, or long for the era of the guilt free butcher shop that does not have pamphlets at the front of the store lecturing you that cattle methane destroys ozone, stop by here. Butcher counter service is knowledgeable at Oak Grove and the cashier is friendly and charming. OGM is a UGA hangout, big time.

Great place to go to lunch. Located in a great neighborhood. The staff and owner are super friendly. They offer great lunch specials with great pricing. Had the baked salmon with grilled zucchini. Excellent seasoning and perfectly cooked. You can call ahead and they will fix your dinner for you take it home and feed yourself and your family.

This morning I discovered the Oak Grove market. All in all, a very good find. For the uninitiated, this is a neighborhood hangout/market that serves up some really simple but tasty food for breakfast. And when I say neighborhood hangout, I'm not kidding--people are on first name basis with their cooks (and not just the management). And the breakfast is goooood. Hardy and simple. The sausage patties as large as your fist. (Your fist, not mine. Making a sausage patty as large as my fist would be a very large patty, indeed. And that would just be ridiculous.) The eggs are unremarkable, but I think that's a good thing. Some unremarkable eggs and a slice of cheese on a biscuit makes me very happy. Everyone here was very friendly. And there appears to be something of a butcher shop attached. I may have to return to do a little shopping some day. Holler if you're coming with.

This is the place we went to! I have been trying to remember where it was and what it was called. Thanks to this easy-to-search-and-find-what-you-can't-remember site, I finally found it! Sorry for the dorkiness. I can't hide it when I'm gleeful. The Saturday that we visited the Oak Grove Market was a revelation to me. This is what a market should be like. If you feel like eating what you just bought, sit down and eat it. Peruse the shelves and scan the displays. The decor is pleasing and not cookie cutter. It's a visual and sensory pleasure being in the market. It's also very busy! You can buy ready-made food and eat it on the spot. I don't remember what I bought and ate but it was very good. However, I bought a yogurt lemon pound cake to take home. Let me tell you this: it was a pound cake unlike any I have ever had! It was moist, sweet, tangy from the yogurt and lemony. I could have eaten the whole thing! But, I was nice and served it to our friends and gave them seconds! Why o why didn't I buy two loaves?? I don't know since I'm not a good keeper of myself. I do know that I've searched for a recipe that comes close to the pound cake from OGM without success. I have to go back again. If you've never been, you must go!

Had lunch for the first time here today, and I was very impressed. Usually, I don't write a review for a place based on one experience, but it was that good. Went here for lunch and had the prime rib steak sandwich. Good bread, great horseradish sauce, good steak. Had a mango broccoli salad and a five fruit salad, both of them were good. Tried the Brunswick stew and it was really good. I make a mean Brunswick stew, so I rarely can eat another stew than my own. This one is right up there with Harold's. Had a piece of very good cornbread with it. Got some half and half sweet tea and noticed that they had crushed ice. For me, every BBQ place should have crushed/pebble ice. Seems insignificant, but sweet tea just tastes better with it. So, I'm giving this place 4 stars because it is very rare for me to go to a place and have everything that I got be great on the first visit. I can't wait to get to know this place better as a butcher shop as well.
