Far below average.

But I am ecstatic to see something of quality going in that location.

The nice thing about their beer selection is you are welcome to break six packs and buy singles if you want to try something

Glad to see a quality place going into that empty lot. They have a lot of prepackaged/frozen meals that I imagine will work well with the college crowd.

I visited a TJ's for the first time last month in Nashville. I was really impressed with the prices and the products. Bought several jars of sauce, hummus, dressing, chips, trail mix, etc. and liked everything. Bought a WFM-size brown bag FULL for 47 bucks.

Prepared foods section was really small in this one. Not sure if this is how they usually are?

Super excited about this!

I've been in a few (Chicago, Atlanta, Vegas, San Diego) and all were quite similar. I like their mix of products. The dried fruits and snacks are pretty rockin'. The chocolate covered potato chips for $2.99 were also pretty bangin'.

great place ... inexpensive products, good selection of wine and snacks.

pre-made meals are good especially the pizza

i just finished a movie in LA and had two in the neighborhood. Went a few times a week.

excited for BR when i work there, but i wish they would take over Breaux mart on mag. Would be a perfect fit.

I wasn't talking about Galatoire's. Seemed to indicate they had another place lined up.
