Customer sentiment for Lindas Surplus Grocery & Merchandise in Warrior, AL skews very positive (91/100). Reviewers highlight great prices that often beat big stores, a rotating mix of surplus, frozen goods, bulk items, and local meats/produce. Staff are widely noted for friendly, helpful service; the store is clean, aisles are organized, and lines move quickly. Common cautions: check expiration dates, occasional brusque interactions (a phone hang‑up, a “leave some for others” reminder), a rough parking lot, and no American Express. Overall, strong value and community vibe outweigh the few complaints.
I discovered this place about a year ago and love it! I try to stop in every few weeks to see what they have in. Great deals here plus basic items too. And the people are soo friendly
I try my hardest to get to Linda's as much as possible!!! She is the sweetest, kindest most appreciative lady around. Miss Linda and Mr. Harold are the best people around. Everyone should stop by and say "hello ".
My mother always went to Linda's and now that she can't I went to Linda's for her and I was just amazed at the prices and I see why my mother always said go to Linda"s well it's definitely worth it and I will be going to Linda's and if you have never been I recommend giving Linda's a visit one other thing is Linda's doesn't accept American Express other than that go check out Linda's and see the great value
We love going there when we are in Alabama
They are the nicest people
Very helpful and friendly
We definitely will shop there again and again and again
Lovely people providing a much-needed service to our community.
Yes, check the expiration dates, but I've mistakenly purchased out of date items at the Pig before, so just be a responsible consumer. I'm really thankful this business is here.
Lots of food here is 1 or 2 years past sell by date. Opened a can of peas & carrots recently that were very pale color. Taste was disgusting and had to toss out 2 cans I had just purchased. Date on the can was 2022. Check dates before you buy. Frozen foods, canned, and packaged items. There are a few good deals here but I will not buy anything here again without checking dates first.
You can't go wrong with shopping at Linda's the best fresh meats and vegetables, and a lot more. Friendly owners, clean store, their prices beats the big stores.
She's the best kept secret in Hayden Alabama been going to them for years and years. You never know what your going to find.. Miss Linda and her husband Harold are always bringing in deals of great price Id tell anyone and everyone to check them out..
Small mom and pop type grocery store. They have great discounts and some bulk items like potato wedges and breaded chicken. I go here often and will continue to. Support your local businesses.
I found it rude to be told I should leave some on the shelf for others, I was buying for holiday gatherings and for other family members. The lady was nice but the older man needs to learn how to convey business. I’m not sure if I will ever give them my business again.
Love shopping here when I'm in the area. I always spend more than I should but get so much for so little and that really helps on my wallet. The owners are just simply country folks and sweet as pie.
Love this place. Such down home people. Great buys and very close to home. Always have what you need in a pinch. Stop in before you go to the big stores.
Wonderful place! The prices are always good and the service is amazing. The people who work here are very kind and helpful! I never leave empty-handed.
I love this store. Mrs.Paula makes sure u find what u looking for plus she try to help u anyway she can. U need to go and see her. She has wonderful deals.
Great prices on all the stuff you and your family use and need every single day. Super sweet and friendly people with good hearts and down home values. Just some lovely local people trying to provide a service for their community members and their families. Mom & Pop type establishment.
I'll go out of my way any day to spend my money in places like this one. Where it does make a difference & help support my neighbors. Wish there were more places like this left. Hardworking people trying to make us happy. Oh, but their parking lot sucks. Lol
The owner of the store is very sweet. If they don't have want your looking for they do they're best to make sure they have the next time you visit. The fruit and vegetables comes from a local neighborhood farmer.
Myself and my family have been shopping here ever since they opened this place.
They use to be very friendly.
Today I call to make sure that they had some ground beef and the man on the phone hangs up on me.
My family and I will be taking our business somewhere else.
This local discount grocery store has great prices on select items. They are always having some great deals on a variety of items during the week. The staff are friendly and helpful.
They have great prices in a good variety of stuff.the service is very helpful and it wouldn't hardly any weight in mind there's actually two people in front of me but it got done quick.
Great selection and low prices. I know this is a surplus store. But I have never bought anything here that was bad. It's always been good. They have an awesome selection of new frozen goods and fresh meats as well. All meat that you get from there is locally grown as well. There ground beef, and ribs, and stuff are great. Highly recommended this place. It will also save you a lot of time not standing in lines at Dollar General.
The store had some good buys and some regular priced items. Over all the place was like shopping was 40 years ago. Hey people that's a good thing if you didn't know it. There ain't nothing like good old country friendliness and hospitality. I'll absolutely be back to shop again.
