Everything said by the two most recent reviewers is true: it takes forever to get your food, even if they aren't busy; the owner will carry on lengthy personal conversations while you are waiting; the people working there rarely know how much anything costs and it takes a while to pay. I think we have become so accustomed to super polite, fast, and cheap that any perceived inconvenience seems much bigger than it really is. Queen Street Grocery is not the place to go if you expect standard Southern sugar coated niceness, or if you are in a hurry, or if you want incredible food (the food is good, but don't expect to be blown away). Instead, if you go there, appreciate what it has to offer and accept it for what it is: a small, kind of quirky neighborhood corner store with crepes and coffee.
