I only gave it one star because they didn’t have a no star. This store is the worse in the chain. The employees that work at this store are awful. Rude, and unsanitary. If they ever hired a nice person it would be a miracle. Would it hurt the old self check lady to smile or be helpful. I could go on but they never change.

Not a top rated supermarket. Meats are mostly Standard grade. Stock is so so with thousands of items not sold as in better markets. Try to get Taylor Ham at Ingles. Prices are sky high with $ 1.68 being the normal for soup. Watch out for the sales especially the meat section. Bought pork chops that were marked $ 1.98 for a small package and was charged over $ 10.00. Had to return to the store to fight for my money back. This was the ingles on New Leicester Highway. Very bad management.

Shopping here is like going down memory lane… but with a Harris Teeter and Trader Joe being built near town I fear its days are limited as driving all the way out here to grocery shop won’t make sense. It still is the place to go to fill in the gaps of places like Greenlife and Fresh Market… Ingles always has things those other places don’t…

I was in Asheville for a conference last weekend, and I needed to make a beer run to get some dark brew for a lesbian friend. … Go ahead, make some typical lesbian beer jokes… Back to the review… This Ingle’s has a beer section like I’ve never seen before. I’m not really a beer drink and I was amazed. Not only was there a huge wall of beer but there was a freaking beer cave. I didn’t browse the massive beer cave because I found what I needed on the wall, but I was impressed. If you’re in Asheville and trying to be mainstream instead of being cool and hitting the local breweries then Ingles is your place.

This is a ‘super” supermarket. I wasn’t needing to do grocery shopping, but I was nearby and thought I might pop in and see what these Asheville folks do for their shopping. I was seriously impressed. The store is as large as any Wal-Mart Supercenter that I’ve seen but the focus here is on the food. A great produce section. I mean, really good. Everything looked super fresh and clean. An section where you could make fresh peanut or cashew butter. Lots and lots and LOTS of groceries. A massive butchery section with everything looking really pretty. Prices seemed decent. About 10 to 15% higher than Wal-Mart in my wild guessification. But you get what looks like better quality and better selection and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. I was not surprised at all to note that my shopping cart did not have a bust wheel. Yes, they have a Starbucks inside the store.

All Ingles stores are definitely not equal. If the Sylva Ingles is the most convenient, please join me in boycotting it. It’s a complete disgrace.

Great local Asheville area based grocery chain. They try hard. They have paired with Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project to get more local foods in their store. Kudos to them!

It is definitely correct that not all Ingles are created equal. For the most part I only have good things to say about this Ingles on Merrimon. They have a good variety of items, but I m always suprised that the cost of their organic items are more expensive than Earth fare. They have a good wine selection and a great salad bar. I am not keen on the hot food section, but then fried food and lots of fat laden food is not condusive to good health. Love the fish counter and the staff, Sarge, Joan and Virginia are great. Also Mike and Steve on the checkouts are great. I do not know these people outside the store, but wish I did. Do not like how the Manager speaks to the staff in front of customers. He needs to take it out the back. That is poor management.

I was in for a surprise when I found out that not all ingle’s are as nice as this one. When in search for a gluten free cake for a potluck dinner party, I was quick to assume that since this ingle’s offers them in droves, with quite a selection, that any and all ingle’s must offer the same choice in health conscious decadence. But as we all know, to assume makes an ass out of u and me… or maybe just me. This here ingle’s also offers such a beatiful and wonderful selection of fine micro and import beers that I find myself spending an ever increasing amount of time just standing in front of the beer case, breathing deeply, and smiling. Staffing this ingle’s are also fine fine people, like Sharon, your late night cashier who is ever so polite and kind, and that one guy that is totally in to ren-fairs.(Nice pony tail good sir, it’s always an honor to watch you carry pallets of groceries with such chivalrous galantry.) Currently, I hang my hat in the Northern Asheville area, making this my local ingle’s, but when I make my bed in a different area of town, I fear I will have to suffice with an ingle’s that pales in comparison to this flagship of a market.
