Working on my provisoning list and wondering has anyone used Bobbys lately. I used them in 2011 and all seemed to go ok but I have read some reviews that were not very favorable. Do they have a Road Town location and also do they provide fresh deli selections of meat and cheese. I have looke d at Riteway and there online ordering is not the easiset to navigate and Im not sure I want to got here personally to shop. Any suggestions.
Thanks, John

The Riteway in Roadtown is like a U.S. market, no comparison

The Riteway store is very nice, but I agree that their ordering system was less convenient than Bobby's the last time I tried it. So I'm interested as well in any answers to the original questions -- has anyone ordered from Bobby's lately, and how did it go?.

No problems in October. We order selected items from both Bobby's and Riteway. This past trip Riteway was about 2 hours late. We will see how they perform again in February.

We have done it both ways (self shop and delivery) and typically have bulk items like alcohol, water, soda, etc delivered. We like to go to Riteway and self shop for the food items and impulse buys when we get there. there are always taxis right outside the supermarket that are happy to drive you and your groceries back to the base.
