let me just say, cool place to shop in - I was blown away by the selection, especially in the produce. not to mention I love all the samples throughout & layout of the store

I always go here with my girlfriend and she gets the Cali Connection while I get the Portobello . I wish I could say more, but that's what the picture is for. Waiting to find parking is soooo worth it!

They can teach you wild boar preparation here. I must say, their methods differ from mine. In my experience the best way to prepare for a wild boar is plenty of cardio .

This Market become better than the whole food market .. i love how they serve everything from the bakery fresh. Also the butchery side is huge and surely you will find what you want if you come early

BriAnna Wehnert

I’m obsessed. Everything is great. Go here if you love food or want to expand/ try different things. Personally, I can’t shop here all of the time but it’s great for spoiling yourself.

Marissa Z-Gray

Great selection of everything. Go to the salad bar and try the Southwestern salad with chipotle dressing or try the different selections in the sushi section. Soups are great too! Good spot for lunch

Victoria Orellana

Central Market is a great place to go for lunch ! You can walk in and get a salad or a sandwich made, etc. I recommend the "Club 491" or "California Connection", amazing!

Dana An

I stop here whenever I am visiting Houston. they have loads of variety. If you ask to try something, you can take a free sample home and prepare it.

Sapna Rajani

Amazing grocery store with such an assortment of unique foods. Love their chocolate and hot sauce collection!

Clifton M

Best grocery store in town , hands down. Finest quality meats, seafood , veggies , prepared foods, etc. Quality ain't cheap , but they have occasional discount specials. Purchase staples elsewhere.

David C

Amazing food and specialty items , but the layout makes it extremely difficult to move around when it's crowded

My favorite grocery store . Literally everything you could want. Huge organic produce selection and meats/seafood. Also, has its own bakery .

Johnathon Kok

In the refrigerated drink coolers located in the ready made food area grab the Sparkling Grapefruit Juice if you like citrus . Terrific for the heat of the summer. Happy Seasons everyone.

Amyn Zindani

Fresh squeezed juices and cold pressed cider in season is awesome

Arthur Wehl

The finest grocery store in Houston . Their baked goods , soups and prepared foods are outstanding. Sample things....

The California Connection is the single greatest sandwich ever created. It does get a little sweet with too many caramelized onions so just ask them to go light or remove entirely.

Scott Fisher

They will break any container in the bakery , just ask. Don't want the four pack, they will happily make it a two (or one or three!)

Harrison Broker

The sandwich bar can't be matched. My favorite sandwich shop and go here for fresh meat and seafood

Ryan

Come during the weekend, daytime before 2pm or so for a feast of samples as you wander lackidasically around the labyrinth

Cecilia Resweber

Great produce selection. ..especially if you like apples ! A bit pricey but a fun place to shop!

Kin Seong

When I don't know what I want or I'm craving a combo no restaurant can offer, but I know I want a complete, healthy, freshly made meal, this place never fails.

Kathy Jones

Go to sandwich bar and order the grilled veggie sandwich on toasted ciabatta bread . Grilled eggplant , asparagus , carmelized onions , goat cheese , hummus , grilled zucchini ..Loads of good, fresh veggies

Marni

One of my favorite grocery stores . The selection is amazing, especially the cheese department.

Stephanie Y Cavazos

Like this place better than Whole Foods - look for Norma - shes the best !!!

Lynhdan Nguyen

Very nice layout. Freshness all around.

Marc S

The bakery does a good job on my items but unfortunately NOT on a basic French baguette . It’s totally devoid of substance: too light, bland, unsatisfying.

Dallas Cook

The salad bar (with pre-designed salads ) is the best! The chopped salad is delicious. Sub oil & vinegar for the Catalina dressing , though!

Merei Adai

Love this market ! Everything fresh and delicious!

Amyn Zindani

Learn the short cuts through the store save you a ton of time if you are just going for specific items.

Bethany Fitzgerald

Great place to go! However, make sure you are very patient, and i go so far as to leave my kids at home.

Fernando Covas

They change up the roast chicken flavors all the time, and I still haven't found one that isn't tasty and tender!

Samah Alsammahi

Best meat/seafood selection by far... Expect long lines on Sunday evenings...

Donna Weaver

Go to Sandwich shop and order a turkey and manchego panini ...SO good and the guy who makes the sandwiches does a sort of dance while he balances all the different ones that's entertaining to watch. Read more

For sammies, order the California Connection , and for dinner , get prepared food, heat it up and voila, save money and eat in your pajamas!

Dave Turnbull

Well , the people that work upstairs had a Dominos guy bring pizzas , and they're well off. What does that tell you about the CBA of the food here?

Jochen Meyer

Try the California salad from the salad bar ! The wine selection is great too.
