Matherne's Supermarket

The store is stocked full of so many different items. It really is a downtown gem both for the residents of downtown and those who work nearby and need to grab items before hitting the road. The store is usually pretty clean with registers at both entrances of the store. The liquor department is fantastic. they also have freshly prepared foods as well as lots of good produce and meats. There is a small private lot where you can park that is specifically for the sore. The staff is usually pretty friendly, but there have been some less than helpful employees on occasion. I think the later you go, the less attentive they are or the more they're looking at their phones. However, it is a good store.

I'm so glad this market is open downtown. Great place. Wonderful staff. Highly rated!

Matherne's Supermarket is a lot of things: a mainstay of the Downtown community; a great deli; indoor and outdoor dining; locally owned an operated; convenient; clean and nice; historical; and has great customer service. It is accessible from both Third Street or Fourth Street, and its dedicated parking area is on Fourth.It is located in what was once the first floor of a bank building, and keeps some historical features of this space. The most striking of these is the giant vault door by the deli and salad bar area. The former vault space is now their wine cellar. Other retained features are the sculptural coins located high on the walls. It's kind of interesting to look for these details...The main attraction around lunch time is the amazing deli. They have a serving line that offers southern staples like fried and baked chicken and catfish, and a hearty casserole or special dish. These can be had with a rotation of two sides, and with bread and dessert, or in any other combination. There are also burgers, hot dogs, and other items available on request. It need not be lunch to enjoy the deli offerings, because many are packaged up into single serving containers for get-and-go enjoyment anytime. It is always worth cruising through the deli shelves to see what is available, there are often tantalizing desserts tucked into the refrigerated shelves, along with super special offerings like chicken salad, and pimento cheese. Did I mention they also bake in house? This is a great place to pick up cookies for the kids or a King Cake for the office. All their baked goods are top notch.While you can pick up these foods to take home or back to your office, you can also choose to eat in their indoor dining area on the Fourth Street side of the store, or on the outdoor tables on this side. The indoor dining area has large floor to ceiling windows on two sides making you feel as if you were outdoors (without the weather, of course). The outdoor area has a brick patio and is partially surrounded by shrubbery, very nice indeed.Matherne's is also a pretty well stocked grocery store, which is quite reasonably priced. I often stop there to pick up something to cook for dinner at home, or to pick up an item I need around the house. They have great meat selections and a extensive frozen food isle. Their weekly sales are competitive with the big box stores. One thing that is definitely different about Matherne's is the customer service. Thief staff are always very personable and helpful. They are an anchor of the Downtown community, and a great asset to all those who work, live, or visit there.

To my surprise while working in the area I came across this place. Decent size grocery store. They also serve plate lunches, burgers and pre-made meals. A friendly staff and really good prices on the items in the deli section. I will definitely return.

So in the middle of Baton Rouge this little gem showed up on my map.I needed coffee and some creamer, I walked in and found a very cool place!The people are so friendly and helpful they acted like they knew meEven though it's small they have a lot of stuffA deli, and bakery and lost of fresh stuffPlus, almost everything you need from a marketVery cool and clean

I love that this place is so close to campus (LSU). They had a ton of items here in the lunch/dinner/food to go area. I was able to get a full salad - with a great variety of vegetables and fruits. I like build your own but get a bit stymied by the pre-made salads at so many (potato, cole slaw, etc). This had plenty of pre-made options but also a plethora of options for a vegan - so a win all around. We came here twice when we were in the area for business meetings. The grocery store itself has a very good amount of options meaning you will find what you are looking for regardless of what you need. My "bent" is always more toward healthy and vegan options and that's not the easiest to find - here there are many ways you can meet your healthy food parameters. I even picked up some dairy free cookies which were excellent. So even though this is not the largest place I think it's perfect for just about anything other than real speciality items. It's quick in and out, convenient for walkers close to campus, and the people were super friendly. A win all around!

Great store in the downtown Baton Rouge area. If you are working downtown, you can swing by for a quick pick up, which is convenient. The store is clean and well organized. You may not see as large of a selection as other stores, but they will definitely have the essentials.

Only grocery store in downtown br until Rouse's open. GREAT! lunch counter! Fresh food, fresh fruit, suishi counter, big salad bar- with a big sneeze guard! Great wine selection! they have their own parking lot- which is wonderful when downtown is crowded.Ugh: for regular groceries- though they stock just about everything- it is a pit pricier.THAT CUSTOMER SEVICE THO! So yesterday I was two pennies short and my bottom lip quivered at breaking a whole dollar for 2 cents- and cashier pulled two cents from "give a penny jar" - really nice.Today- suishi bar did not have any avocado salad rolls- and very nice girl asked what I was looking for and made it while I waited. It kinda made my whole day.

We waited so long to get a full service grocery store downtown, and Mathernes was certainly worth the wait! The store is always clean and the produce, dairy, and meat are all fresh. I never have to carefully read the expiration date before purchasing a product because the people who run this store just don't let expired products sit on their shelves. And they have a superb wine selection where you can find something delicious at any price point. Instead of self check out stands, the store is always staffed by smiling cashieres who are ready to ring up your order. But what I love about this small local chain most of all is how each store curates its offerings to its location. We have a lot of single people living downtown, and the store offers cuts of meat in small packages since most of us who shop there don't really need huge family packs of anything. And if you are hungry at lunchtime on a weekday, you can even get a good meal at their hot food bar.

Great downtown Supermarket, limited food choices, almost unlimited alcoholic beverage choices. I never could find the lunch meat. The sushi looked great, however it was all two days out of date.
