Depends on what kind of photos and purpose.  For normal postcard size stuff or any casual prints to share with friends/family any printer should be OK.  Online print labs include Kodak Kiosks, Shutterfly, Photobox, Snapfish if you don't want to use supermarket print services.

But for much larger stuff, for purposes such as gallery exhibitions, you need to research which print labs produce the quality you want.  And you need to know what type of paper, what kind of finishing, what kind of framing or mounting, and what kind of inks you want to be used for the prints.

 

Personally I just send digital copies unless my clients specifically ask for prints.  Then depending on the case I go ahead and decide the type of paper and finishing that is suitable for their photos, or I sit down and show them different paper samples and we go through an entire process of selecting various options.

https://us.whitewall.com/ The only US lab I know but people say they are good.

 

But I see they are expensive, 12 x 8 inch on Fuji Flex (an amazing paper) costs $37.95

Where I order my pictures it costs 6€

well depends on how big, what type of print (ie gloss/matte/metal, then what type of material paper/metal/wood/bamboo/glass/tile/canvas etc) tho I heard adoramapix is decent for the price, and they have large variety of different prints.
