Awful place. The Asian manager is extremely rude, cant speak English very well,therefore he yells,when asked a question. He never is polite, its over 10 yrs Im living in this neighborhood and Farmboy is the closest supermarket. That Asian man has always been nasty and mean. Im tired of being robbed there. Please check your bill before you leave. Mary is the nicest person there, very professional, she should be promoted to Manager. Get rid of that loser manager.
Its convenient. Geared towards a more foreign audience, in my opinion. The credit that I always go to is so kind and I appreciate the help she gives me, with me being single and pregnant. Most things I look for, they have except for a good bread selection. If you are on WIC, you CAN but what you need here, but not all products you might like it be able to find. They accept food stamps as well and they are wheelchair accessible.
This grocery store holds almost all items that I need for cooking. Theres a reasonable variety of fresh & frozen fruits & veggies, meat as well as snacks & house cleaning items. Its not too crowded whenever I go there. Its close to my house to its my one stop shop for day-to-day groceries.
A supermarket should be bright and airey. This store is dark and over crowded. Boxes that needs to be unpacked still in the isles which makes it impossible to move shopping carts freely. Management has done a poor job for this store. It reflects an attitude to service New Yorkers food any kind of way. Shopping at this neighborhood grocery is very disappointing. It was never like this 45 years ago this place that I grown up in..Now its sad how things changed for the worse and the community accepts it!
Fresh herbs veggies fruits. Nopals parsnips celery root apple bananas broccoli rabe available. Could add a variety of mushrooms and more organic ingredients to stay on brand.Update 06/01 guess they must have read my review from 4 months ago. Ive seen more items . Very good to fair prices. Adding another star really like a 4.5 now.
Well stocked and fresh meats and fish.But it ends there.The cashier was not friendly, and the worker outside was very very rude.He pushed all the carts in front of me blocking me entirely from removing my grocery almost completely knocking me over in the process.You can get grocery anywhere with 100% better service, wouldnt recommend here for anyone.This place calls for no stars
Everyone in that supermarket should be replaced, including management. They treat customers like criminals. They have no compassion for their patrons. After the pandemic they have store hours from 8am- 8pm however they don’t let you in the store to shop after 7:40pm. Which was highly inconvenient because I just wasted my time rushing to get there. I’m not sure if this one, rude, dry headed Spanish girl with orange was a manager at the establishment but she needs to replaced immediately!!!!! I would highly recommend shopping ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a quick stop in, this market is alright, however, my main complaint is directed towards the management, They should really practice good customer care, They should also smile at their paying customers and not grimace at them. Theyre usually off to the side, looking down on customers as if they were Kings and the shoppers were low-lives. Also, check your receipt before you leave the store, you are often charged full price for items marked on sale.
Store is being remodeled.. Not quite sure if I like the set up however the owner assured that everything is still fresh like it always has been. The butcher area is opened up so you can see the meats being cut as you need. The fish market is now inside which is a good thing. Still go there to get small items. Lines to checkout can get crazy because the price is reasonable
I hate this place I only go there if they have something on sale that I think is worth the trip... the Koreans there thinks everyone is stealing something, they watch you mad hard and the Indian Guyanese they think they own the store and they dont know how to speak to people also they speak to the other cashiers like your not standing there. Furthermore what these grocery fail to realize is people drive so they have other options. So now I dont go there I go to Ideal thats in the area and its better service.
Update 10/2021Went yesterday and there appeared to be moldy garlic. Their produce is sometimes fresh but most of the time not. They paired down the Kale bunches but still charge the same price. I get it, have to cut cost and recoup for the renovations.Subpar supermarket specializing in caribbean food and produce. Not super clean but clean enough for you to feel okay with buying certain items.
Its an interesting supermarket because it has a lot of different varieties of food from many different cultures, but its not a very good place to shop. The whole entire store is very disorganized, very messy and a lot of things are confusing as to wear it should be. I find it hard to shop here because most of the time of how messy of a store it is.
Been going to the place since I moved here in 2010 with my parents. The place used to be crowded until they renovated last year or the year before. The place looks brand new, and it is much more spacious. They have a amazing store hours like from 7am to 10pm monday to saturday and 7am to 8pm on sunday. I love the store but it deserves a 4 star because it is very confusing to find stuff in the aisles because there are no signs. I would love signs to tell me what isles to look for certain products and guide me. The staff there is really nice and super helpful, and the cashiers are really fast and work with care.
This store was much better years back..now everything seems to be over priced... especially the meats. The vegetables are not as fresh as they use to be as well. They sometimes will try to sell expired items...so check the dates on items before you purchase. Overall, its ok to pick up small items etc, but I would never consider doing a major grocery shopping haul there.
I just go there for staple items. I find that some of the prices are to high. When stuff goes on sale, its only one selection Instead of the whole line of that selection. Cashiers are good and they work fast. Given the size of the place I wished they had a wider selection of items.
They have a verity of ethnic meats and products cashiers are smiley and nice but the two stars are because of the Asian manager who is an extremely rude person. We had bought 2 pounds of sliced turkey and right at the car we smelled it and it stunk. Since we hadnt left yet we went right back in, the cashier referred the problem to the manager and he completely denied our claim and that it looks fine to him. We wanted to return the turkey because it was gross and he was so mad at us and we even cursing at us in a different language. He literally has a movie vilain attitude about and I can tell that he is racist too
They deliver your grocery for free...they have a small parking lot, fruits & vegetables section, cold section for dairy, meat, juice, and other perishables, and another section for dry goods. Its ok to shop there..youll find local, few Asian, and Caribbean foods. Also convenient to reach via Q7 or Q10 bus.
The staff and management is very unfriendly and the return policy is not existence. I bought a coconut in this store and when I got home and opened the coconut, it was rotten on the inside. I took the coconut back to store for an exchange. I cashier refused to do the exchange and when to asked for the manager, the manager also refused to do the exchange saying once I bought it its mind. The staff took no responsibility for selling spoil products. With such an attitude towards customer service and selling of spoil products within the store, I will not be shopping there any more. I encourage others to do the same.
5/23/19For a month Ive been waiting for them to restock shelves with dog food but j seems like assistant manager told me go to another store and that my review isnt important the other older man seems to have same attitude any time I go there they guy has a mean grilling face on asif hes annoyed of the business. Or just isnt a friendly People person at all why work there then ... rude person I didnt come out of content or anything like wise .. bad managers here eving the workers arnt happy cashiers are there for about a month before they leave and find another job ..Ive went to try and get a job long before and I was categorized wrongfully basically denied the job being the way I looked .. no interview at all ..any ways point is I had bad experience with this supermarket since the new managementNow lets talk about what is youd like to knowNo VarietyPrices could be better/fairCustomers service..sucks ..Cashiers are slow (depending)The meat isnt freshFish isnt fresh enoughAnd workers .. well they could seem more inviting or helpfulThey just renovated the place and still they make it worst the entrance is a maze to get into ..only entrance is in the parking lotOlder review••still standSame ol nasty attitude management
I came in because i needed a few things for home and this was close to where i was at the moment. The store is small, and a bit run down, the cashier seemed to have an attitude with answering my questions, I wanted delivery which I thought would be a store van that would take my groceries home that moment like the other two grocery stores in the neighborhood. I was told to fill out my address and than id have my groceries delivered, when asked how long before my groceries would be delivered I was not given a direct answer. Their delivery consits of you buying your groceries and them sitting in a wagon for a few hours until the delivery guy gets there, so yea have my raw meat sitting out until whenever the guy gets there to drop them off, ill pass.
Im desapointed with this farm boy supermarket, they close really early I was there at 7pm and was closed already, than I was there 1 week ago to get hass Avocado (mexican Avocado, is how my friends call it), so they didnt have right ones so I took the green ones, you wont belive that the little Avocado still green, Im even thinking that is a plastic one. Well Ill wait a little more but Im really mad, and it was to expensive. Ill keep you posted on this one. Thanks for reading
Id never even heard of Farm Boy Country Market until Bank of America called me regarding a fraudulent charge of $242.24 made against my business debit card... which never leaves my desk, here in Baltimore, Maryland!Go figure.Not their fault, but just amazed at how a desk bound debit card gets used at all, never mind all the way up in New York... never mind a place called Ozone Park NY!Oooops... to publish this I have to assign a star... or two... or three... but it wasnt their fault.... Ill go w/ 3 just to stay middle of the road.
Is a sloppy place..there are broken bottle pieces coming in by the gate which could easily encrusted in your sandals, or into your sneakers..staff are not pleasant, they look angry, like they dont belong there..the whole shopping experience makes you want to run out of the place and never come back..

2022-03-14It seems to be wheelchair accessible but some spots are rather tiny. Not very well kept but it offers amazing prices for it’s items. This store is a blend of American and West Indian foods. A mask mandate is not in place for this store. Parking space is ample too.

2022-05-18Food is often expired or close to it. They only have indian-asain or Mexican employed there besides the fact that a lot of black residents shop there. Staff and owner can be a bit nicer and kinder to patrons.

2022-06-16First of all the place is very dirty there is pigeons flying all inside. The prices displayed are inaccurate. The cashiers and especially the manager Natasha are extremely rude ,they look at you with scornful expressions and are unwilling to help. Talk about new york attitude they have it in spades.

2021-12-18Great place for grocery shopping, especially if it’s last minute and if you want fresh stuff. It’s very busy on the weekends. The cashiers are nice. They tell you about deals for items in your cart and give you a minute or two to swap out or get additional items to get the best of the deals offered.

2022-03-16First time here not bad. The creep following me to my car had me spooked out. I immediately took out my phone to record him. He was driving a BMW mid Sudan. Ladies be careful and always check your surroundings.

2022-01-30Great local supermarket in the Richmond Hill/ozone Park section of Queens. Their selection of Carribean products are pretty exceptional. Parking is big and free which is a plus

2022-03-16I use to like this place about 8-9 years ago but its gone down hill since. The floor workers dont even understand English here only spanish.. so that leaves me searching for 5 mins for 1 item & its sad how the cashiers always have an attitude or just fail to greet anyone. Forget about management they dont care about customer satisfaction..
