Vic’s Grocery

We are lucky to have a convenient place in Florence to shop that doesn’t involve a trip to Georgetown or Killeen. Small town grocery store with friendly staff. If they don’t carry what you want ask them and often they can stock it for your convenience. Glad they are close by.

I’ve never been to Florence, but one night passing through on my way home to Austin I stopped in at Vic’s on Main Street and had a pretty memorable experience.
Small town grocery w/​lots of products, homemade offerings, and a kitchen in the back that makes pizza, burgers, philly cheesesteaks, and several other meals. Here’s where I ran into an obstacle — — a language barrier. I think the owners here are from India, and they speak Spanish, so it’s like a melting pot when someone half Japanese and German walks in… it’s starting to look like a G8 Summit Meeting in the back by the deli.
I just asked what the top sellers were, the guy says «cheesesteak». So for five bucks I thought why not — — I’m not in the mood for a burger or a pizza. They have regular and Texas style (w/​peppers + jalapenos) cheesesteaks. The guy started making the sandwich while I cruised around the isles to check out the offerings.
Lots of stuff you don’t usually see, various new energy drinks, some items imported from Mexico, some pies and pastries, but I came across «Oma’s Choice» jarred foods from nearby Schulenburg, TX. Looking over the large selection I opted to go for the dill pickles, salsa, queso, dill garlic, and chipotle olives. At $ 5.95 a piece why not give it a shot and support our local businesses? So far — the pickles, garlic, queso, and olives all rocked. I shoulda bought more. They also had a few relishes, habanero jams, cobblers, and more salsas.
Very nice and friendly staff, nice hometown country feel, great selection of options, some groceries are a tad bit pricey but the philly cheesesteaks are awesome. I saved them both in the fridge and took a couple of bites each night after getting home after the gym, the bread is soft and the sandwich is very tasty.
We just need someone from the UK, Russia, Canada, Italy and France to stop by so we can have an official G8 Florence Summit Meeting at Vic’s w/​plenty of cheesesteaks, baked goods, and Oma’s products to go around.

Excellent small town grocery. Outstanding home made bread, pizza and a great hamburger. Prices for groceries are a bit higher than the big stores but Florence is very lucky to have a place like this. Give the burgers or sandwiches a try!

Friendly folks. Good selection. Awesome grill with good food at great prices.

Florence, Texas is lucky to have Vics! Easy to grab a few groceries, and not as bad pricing as a convience store!
