I agree regarding Publix as top choice. It doesn't try to be as snazzed out as Wegman's which really amounts to adding a bunch of pre-prepared items to a grocery store, as well as countless other products in the center of the store that have nothing to do with grocery items. I found Harris Teeter stores to be pretty decent also, with excellent quality store brand items. Trader Joe's is probably my favorite overall for quality (mostly organic/all natural), small/manageable store footprint and price...with Whole Foods a close second, though they are both national chains versus regional.
Louisiana specialty grocery market. It has all the Cajun/creole stuff unique to this area in addition to a great deli, seafood market, pizzeria, sushi bar, and sit down lunch buffet in the store. Really really nice place to get groceries. A Louisiana gem.
As a chain, the best I've seen is Wegman's. The best single grocery store in the United States, however, can be found in the western suburbs of Pittsburgh. If Willy Wonka ran a supermarket, he couldn't have done it any better than the Giant Eagle Market District in Robinson Township.
The problem with Giant Eagle is, they have such a wide variation in the age, size and quality of their stores that you don't know what you'll get from one store to the next. The newest stores are good enough to make Wegman's squirm, but many of their older stores lack features that we take for granted in newer stores, and don't appear to have been maintained as well as they could have been.
