The best thing about Reliable Market is how convenient it is to downtown Oak Bluffs.

The Reliable is your standard neighborhood market. You'll find the owners there most days with Mr. as the butcher in the meat department and Mrs. either overseeing the register line or cashing folks out. They're quite amicable and helpful. However, as someone else mentioned in their review, some of the staff fail to exude those same qualities at times.

If you're in downtown Oak Bluffs and need to stock up on the essentials, the Reliable is a good choice. Their pricing is higher on some items and

We all say that its “reliably closed” when you need something, but it’s a pretty decent market when it’s open. Extending the hours until 7 or 8pm would be awesome.

Very low on everything. Staff was not very nice and very expensive. I guess I was lucky to grab two steaks for $25 each and some lettuce.

I am so lucky to get to walk to this grocery store nearly daily. It's been pretty much the same since I was a kid...old fashioned, family owned grocery store. COVID complicated it a bit with a single line for the registers, and like other businesses, a shortage of employees. Still, it's RELIABLE!!!

The name is true especially because this is such a small store. The butcher will cut you what you need if it is not in the shelf as long as it is in the walk in.
Staff are always friendly, efficient and helpful.
The only real issue is finding a parking spot on Circuit Ave. If you have to circle to park, you might luck out and find a spot on Kennebunk Ave or in the tiny lot.

The only place to get great service in OB. We love our neighborhood grocer. Best cuts of meat and local seafood every day. Plus nice help with all questions.

Reliable Market in Oak Bluffs is a good supermarket. It is not cheap but then again nothing on Martha's vineyard is cheap. We used to alternate between reliable and the Stop & Shop in Vineyard Haven but I think reliable may be a shade cheaper and at least for us it's less hassle than driving to Vineyard Haven. I see many year round residents shop here.

Unquestionably the place to go for groceries and meats. Prices are far and away the best and freshness is astounding. Blows stop and shop out of the water and supports local business.

My family and I have been coming to the Island for over twenty years now and I love Reliable Market. Great selection and prices are reasonable. Over the years, I've tried to tolerate cashiers who are obviously not too happy about being at work. I get it. Today, however, was an entirely different story. The cashier today literally pissed me off but I didn't think it was even worth going into it with her nor did I have time to go find the manager because I was running late for a meeting.

I went into Reliable to grab an Eileen Blake pie because I know today is their delivery day. I

It's like if you travelled to a nickelodean show and wanted to experience what a grocery store would be like in the 70s. It has all of the amenities you need, especially the Portuguese bread, and the prices aren't bad at all. Would definitely recommend if you want to experience a hometown grocery store and need to get some groceries.

If you're looking for an overpriced deli/meat counter go somewhere else. This is a three generation family run operation. The owners are on site 24/7. Excellent custom cut and ground meats. Home made sausages. The place is a real throw back to another era when you actually talked to a grocery manager who had a stake in the operation.

Sure the produce is not chi-chi. Cilantro has been a spot of humor for decades. It is fresh and "Reliable".

This is the spot to go to.

This is a great family run little grocery in the sweet town of Oak Bluffs...a treasured destination for locals and an experience for folks not familiar with another era of family mom and pop stores... Best prices on the Island of Martha's Vineyard....and contrary to another review the goods are incredibly fresh as items fly off the shelves requiring continual restocking and butcher area is totally visible (unlike many modern groceries), efficient AND replenished throughout each day....its a local institution!!

How this place gets $$$ is crazy....things are less expensive here than anywhere

Reliable is a family owned business right on Circuit Ave. in downtown OB. Two very impersonal overpriced Stop 'N Shops and two branches of Cronigs are its only competition and they are all located in other towns. Reliable has a firm grip on the OB grocery scene. I had never shopped in here until I lived right around the corner for a while, and I really got to appreciate it, despite its flaws.
Their hours are not great and the parking lot will trigger a migraine even if you have never had one in your life. Their vegetables, which are not local, are all packaged badly in those awful styrofoam
