“ Definitely priced higher but the choices available and convenience are great. I was willing to pay a bit more for how close it is. Also- supporting local businesses is important! ”
“ Market that has the basics if you are in town and forgot to stop in Payson on the way in. Everything is very overpriced but hey you are supporting a small business and supply and demand so .... Just how it goes . :) ”
“ This is a great little market in Pine. They have most anything you need. It's more expensive than a big box store but here you don't have to drive 20 minutes to Payson, you're also supporting a local business. ”
“ Always friendly staff. They have saved me gallons of gasoline by not having to travel back into payson. They have frozen foods, canned goods? Small quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables. Large selection of beer, chip and bread. Just about everything. They are doing a small remodel moving the checkout from the middle to the side. They should be able to stock more items with this update. Ponderosa provides a valuable service to this small town. They may never compete with the mega supermarkets, but the prices are reasonable. I am grateful to have the Ponderosa Market. ”
“ Well, it's a small mountain town market. But it surprisingly has about anything that you need. It also carries unique snacks. Not too small, I would say a medium sized store. Friendly cashier. If you are in the Strawberry/Pine area, this is it. And it's not that bad. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! ”
“ Small town grocery store that has all the little things you may have not packed, and some great locally made chips and salsa! The gentleman had samples and we had to have for wine and cocktails in our cottage later in the evening. ”
“ This market has a surprisingly good selection of grocery and fresh produce items and the prices are reasonable given its location in the small town of Pine. There is a large selection of snack food, drinks and liquor typical of any quick stop type market, but there is also a good selection of canned and boxed goods like cereal, pasta, beans, fruit and veg. The frozen section is heavy on ice cream, sausages and meets, and frozen dinners. There is also a decent amount of fresh meat, poultry, cheese and all the typical fresh produce such as bananas, apples, broccoli, onions, carrots, mushrooms and even asparagus. The small deli area has fried chicken and some packaged bakery sweets like brownies, cakes and cookies. If you are visiting the Pine area for a few days, you will find everything you need without having to drive down to Payson. ”
