Ft. Detrick Commissary

A great commissary, not as large as some, but better run than others I've been to. Staff is great: friendly, competent, and helpful. Meat section is particularly good, fresh produce is "hit or miss," so look at what you buy. My only real issue is that the store brand, "Freedom's Choice" is uniformly mediocre...but that's probably a DECA issue, and not this particular store. Otherwise, this store is a reliably great experience.

LOVE this little Commissary...about half the number of items that you would find in a full size Commissary but has MOST of the basics! BONUS.....normally not crowded either!!!!!

If you have military privileges, take the time to shop here. It's a small commissary. But the management apparently has done their homework. They know what rotates. They know what goes stale. They will be out of produce from time to time. But that's how they keep it fresh. Their choices of ethnic foods is limited, but if they carry it it's probably because it's good. In times when you have to pinch pennies, shop here first you'll save money.

First-time visit here. The Commissary was very clean, organized and had all the essentials. The stock was good. The quality of fruits and vegetables was good. And, the staff were friendly and helpful. We'll be back.

This commissary’s prices can’t be beaten. This is a place for Service members, Veterens, and dependents. Nice selection on vegetables, fruits, and much more.

Can't beat the value 👌

Nice, friendly experience here; had not been to a commissary in many a year!

Prices are reasonable! The store is always clean and stocked well! I enjoy doing my shopping at the commissary! Ladies and the young men that load your groceries are always friendly and respectful!

On Saturday, July 2, 2022, I had occasion to be shopping in the Ft Detrick Commissary. I was at one of the self check out lanes. While I was doing a "search for item", I was personally greeted by Blessie Viands and asked if I needed any assistance. Her pleasant greeting and offer to help was welcomed and appreciated. She patiently explained the operation and gave me some very helpful hints to help me navigate through the checkout. She made me feel like I was her favorite customer of the day. Her warm, personal greeting immediately put me at ease. She then spent a few minutes explaining to me, in simple terms, how to understand and quickly move through the checkout process. It was obvious to this Octogenarian she was well qualified in her capacity. She also amazed me with her ability to multi-task as she even fielded questions from other cashiers and customers, without making me feel like I was neglected. It was a great learning experience for me as well as a refreshing display of great customer service on the part of Blesssie and I didn't want it to go unnoticed. Blessie's knowledge of her position, attention to detail, and excellent customer service reflects great credit upon herself and the Ft. Detrick Commissary. It was a good experience and I came away with a huge smile on my face.

Community based nestled in Frederick with easy access from major highways. I can trust the pricing displayed at this location are accurate with the digital pricing computerized on the shelves. I've been to a larger commissary and pricing you see are not accurate; a plus go to to Fort Detrick's commissary. This location stays on top of their inventory for the partons.

I shop at the Ft Detrick commissary approximately every five days. The staff in all the departments , especially in the produce, are very helpful and patient with my requests. Thank-you to Gloria and Nancy in the produce department for assisting me whenever I need help ! The cashiers are cheerful and helpful.
(I must add that I have never been in a cleaner restroom !) Thank-you all for your hard work maintaining my favorite place to shop for my groceries!

It amazes one to see the variety of food stuffs in this little store!

Very fair prices in a well kept and clean store. Employees and baggers are very helpful.

It's a small commissary but clean, well laid out, and I like shopping here whenever I come for a va dr appointment.

This store is the right size and I love that. The prices are great. ALL the employees treat you like a friend. They try to be helpful to friends in their store - they cut you a larger (or smaller) roast if you need it, they check your eggs at the register. Last week the cashier mentioned that the price on avocados jumped, in case I hadn't noticed (I hadn't). They talk to you when you check out. They've spoiled me and I now hate going to other stores.

I've been onle a couple times but they offer a wide selection of goods and are extremely helpful! All the employees are so courteous and they go out of their way to lend a hand in any way. I only went with my sister and her husband who are military, as I wouldn't be able to alone but would highly recommend to anyone that is a member or could be and hasn't looked into it! It is highly worth it!

Excellent Commissary!. Not the largest but has 90% of what most people are looking for a great prices. I drive to this commissary even though other stores are closer because it is 1) not as crowded, 2) good parking, 3) people are polite, and 4) organized.

Food at better prices than regular stores. Meat is much cheaper

Love shopping here. Today I bought TV dinners, sausage, apples, porterhouse steak, and Reemes noodles. Wanted Tim Horton coffee but they only had it in decaf. Why would anyone buy coffee decaffeinated?

I like to shop at Fort Detrick Commissary. They have limits on how many you can purchase of the most wanted items during the Covid 19 quarantine. This ensures that everyone can buy something they need. I wish other stores would do that to discourage hoarders. Everything from entrance to checkout is done in a smooth orderly fashion, but that could be because military people are quite good at following the rules (orders).
