It is a really good place to shop. I went inside and bought some fruits. You should stop by and find if theyre a anything you want.
Overpriced. Discounted Items that are advertised in circular are NEVER tagged in store. Stop & shop has better prices and even with their delivery, still cheaper than Foodtown.
The store was cool, there was a good selection of items that caught my eye plus the prices was reasonable. Ill be back
It isnt my closest choice, but it is the best supermarket in the neighborhood - worth the walk!Super clean, well stocked and managed!
Moderate selection, produce is never great, and they dont seem to stock a handful of things that youd expect to be standard grocery fare.
Clean, friendly, and pretty well laid out grocery store. Affordable and reliable for basic needs and even some specialty items. Digital coupon system is very annoying but really did have some great deals.
Store manager was willing to throw wilted flowers than give me a fair discount. At the end Tina gave me half off the original price but had I known what was about to happen I would have not accepted it. Ive posted a video of what happened when I unwrapped the flowers. Disgraceful. I could have saved that money towards an emergency supply.
There is limited parking. The staff are very courteous and professional. Its usually busy there. I had a honey turkey sandwich from the deli. Their prices are reasonable. The place is well kept. Its accessible by train and 🚌. Its an average size supermarket. The management team are very responsive and helpful. I would definitely shop there again if needed.
Location location location. Produce & fish is super fresh. Good beer selection. Vegan and organic stuff. Good prices on sale items. Nice staff. Reasonable to short checkout wait and self checkout. Dont bring your plastic bags to recycle. Dont know why, they just put them in dumpster with all the other trash.
This supermarket is the best in Kensington. This supermarket has great customer service, staff are very friendly but some staff can be a bit rude. It has that good vibe when you walk into it. Great variety of food.
The store has a wide selection of meats and prices are high, but what you get in return is worth it. When items are on sale you use your club card and are good value. For a local supermarket, you cant go wrong.
It’s an ok supermarket. Decent selection, prices are ok. Always check the “Best by” date.
Everything is fresh and the workers are very helpful.
Nice, if small supermarket. They dont have an extensive selection of products, but what they have is quality.
Watch the register when you check out, over charged at least one item everytime you check out and when you question it you get attitude. Theyre lucky theyre the only store in walking distance because if we had a choice Foodtown would not be it.
This is a great neighborhood grocery store. Reliable produce selections, fresh deli, meat and seafood areas. Organic and mainstream options. The best employees, always friendly and helpful. Clean and bright. Well stocked throughout the pandemic! My Family couldnt be more grateful. Oh and decent beer options ;)
Great selection of.items both conventional and organic. Not bougie though. Thats what I love about it. Manager is phenomenal. He runs a tight ship and is incredibly helpful when approached with questions. He and his staff (amazing by the way - cant say enough about their friendliness) were heroes during the height of the pandemic doing their best to ration limited supplies of certain items.
I appreciate that Foodtown of Kensington makes the distinction between conventionally grown and organically grown produce on their labels. That said, and considering the other offerings in the immediate area, I was impressed with the variety of organic produce and didn’t have to lie to my girlfriend upon delivering a healthy and fully organic dinner. Also the guy that was stocking the jalapeños was friendly. Thanks Foodtown of Kensington!
Im going the 5 stars because there is no 4 1/2.It literally has a train stop right there on the corner its on, like a train stop is connected to it (Church Ave. F & G Trains). I get a free transfer back because of this! (The MTA gives a free transfer back onto the train from this station because of the supermarket... I believe ...not all know this feature about supermarkets with regards to trains... or this station ...so its one fare for two ways back and forth).They used to have live lobsters running around in a tank near the deli section during the building boom of Bloombergs Administration! They still have Cheese-Cakes from Juniors at the Deli counter... plus some really nice stuff there... (Turkey dinners for Thanksgiving even... etc).I liked the selection... no problem finding capers, Lox, Cream Cheese and freshly made Bagels, many types of gravy in glass jars for Thanksgiving and a very nice Beer section... all and all ...a points program to redeem for free food and other items (Greenpoints) ...not the draw for everyone... but I always turn them in for free Ragu sauce myself. - Evan (Why not?)Its fresh... the produce is nice ...there is a gourmet items area (for lack of a better word, pricey though), a Bakery (with freshly baked goods). Its all the sections & trimmings you expect in a Brooklyn Supermarket plus a few things you expect in a Manhattan one, enjoy!
Always love 🛍 shopping at this FoodTown. Pricey yes but you will find what you need. Rotisserie 🐔 Chicken is the perfect pick up and go dinner.
Loved this place nice friendly people good customer service pretty big inside
Store is clean, your neighborhood supermarket that has most of everything you need. They have a ethnic food isle too, much appreciated but need an actual ethnic touch when it comes to the Asian sauces or ingredients. You can tell its an American attempt on ethnic foods. But other than that, I like the weekly discounts and club membership sign up, self check out (usually available with no wait), and good ice cream and beer selection.
I moved, and no longer live near Foodtown. But I always do and always will keep shopping here. The cleanliness of this establishment and the courteous staff is worth me completing my grocery list here... every time.
This is Kensingtons grocery store and they certainly show it with various area posts on the bulletin boards in-house. Their offerings match the diversity of the neighborhood and prices are sometimes super low for essentials.Ive never been disappointed by their fruits, vegetables and cheese selection. And the beer? This place has an entire section of craft beers and in the regular aisle, carries Red Stripe and various Brooklyn Brewery beers!
Produce goes bad a week after you buy it.
Spacious and has a variety of items and has great customer service
They are doing a really great job during quarantine. The waits are minimal if any at all. Lots of protection for customers and staff. They have a great fruit/veggie section and overall a nice selection of products. Parking is hit or miss depending on if you go at peak times, but overall the staff is really nice and they have things handled given how covid is affecting most biz.
Good and fresh vegetables and meat. Highly recommend
Usually I find the things I need, only thing is, there are no signs in the aisle , on the aisle that would tell you which product are in each aisle. If there is one, its not visible .The self check out is a but frustrating, when u decide to scan and put it on the side inside if n a bag, it wont let you move forward. I had to keep replacing the item with another.But products are well kept and organized 🤗🤗🤗
Organized, clean, socially distanced staff and checkout lines. Fresh produce, beautiful (small) fish counter, nice deli, organic and alternative menu options (non dairy, gluten free, vegan), beer, and a decent ice cream/frozen desserts. All this with parking, instacart option AND delivery option. Club card gets you nice discounts. This will be my GO TO all service grocery. Right outside the train means a quick grab is always convenient en route home from work.
Went in around 8:30pm (they close at 10pm) expecting them to either be ready to kick people out or be snippy towards the end of their shift.The manager was very cordial and respectful of everyones space. This foodtown has a wonderful selection of products, and wide aisles (a plus!!). Easy to locate, and especially easy if you take the F train as the stop is right at their door! Will return soon to see if this is the norm ;)
A very clean store with a lot of variety. However, recently the food has had some issues.1. Fresh food section is not fresh. Mac salad, egg salad, potato salad all taste sour and spoiled.2. Some of the package food is old. Ive bought pudding that has turned chunky. Some limes were very old to the point there was no juice in them.3. Some items are not stored properly. Some icecream I have bought have tasted very icy. As if they were melted and then refrozen. I bought drinks that tasted like plastic. Like they were heated and the plastic taste went to the drink.Theyre usually really good. However, the quality has been decreasing over the past year.
This looks like a well taken care of and managed place. Everything is neatly in its place, and things look aesthetically pleasing. I expected to see a mom/pop kinda manager on the floor, but instead found a few what seemed young people half-heartedly doing whatever it is they were doing. At least I got good directions after I asked to find for a specific item. It has a small parking lot (possibly 9 cars fit). The carts seemed really clean, there were disinfectant wipes offered right at the entrance and a bit over the store. I really appreciated that, and I hope that continues being offered even after this pandemic is gone.
I usually like Foodtown but recently I purchased two products that were expired! So disappointed I wasted my money and my time making this expired cake.
Small, but mighty grocery store... produce is pretty fresh and good selection of everything else (the deli and fish counter closes early, so beware)
Very convenient and clean place to shop
The cashiers and Deli department also the managers are pleasant and helpful.The store is clean some prices are high but all in it a good place to shop.
Very pricey products but you will find what youre looking for
No bad you can shopping here
This is a clean & well ran supermarket. It was the 1st store that I found to limit purchase amounts of paper goods & other high demand products during the early months of the pandemic allowing for a steady supply of these goods. Great store! Great management! Great employees!
If I could shop somewhere else, I would. Nice staff. Clean store. Deli and bakery meals are top notch. But be careful shopping here. You have to check the expiration dates and safety seals on everything because they are consistently selling expired stuff and frozen foods where the safety seals have been broken. I have two frozen dinners in my freezer right now that Im returning because the safety seals are punctured and a box of taco shells that were already 2-months expired when I bought them. Didnt realize they were expired until I bit into one and it was hard as a rock which led me to check the box and found they had expired 2 months ago. They also had a bad fridge that had broken one summer but left the ice cream in it ... yet they put no warning on the fridge, so no one knew the ice cream was bad. I didnt know until I was reaching for an ice cream and it was another customer who stopped me and told me not to buy it because the fridge was broken.That said, self-checkout is faster than sitting in line for the cashiers because for some reason, hardly no one ever uses the self-checkout, so most of the time theyre empty. But they break a lot (and they know it) and sometimes rings your stuff up entirely too slow.2 stars because out of my entire life, Ive never ran into so many problems at a grocery store than here.
Food is fresh and variety is outstanding.
I find that Foodtown keep their store stocked and the meat they have is fresh compared to Keyfood on Flatbush off from Caton Ave.
Usually well-stocked inventory, good variety and super nice cashiers. Glad theyre local...its good to have them nearby.
Not bad, there are a couple of unique items you can find, and the bakery Items are always fresh including their fruits and vegetables, however they are lacking with certain products and sales
Not the friendliest & kinda small. Expensive produce.
But a little bit cool. The fruit is fresh and the staaf is very helpful. I like lowest prices
Great customer service! The staff was helpful in answering a question I had about an item in the weekly ad.
Great selection of items in an organized and clean store. The fresh smell of coffee as you walk-in is always welcoming. The deli has fresh and delicious meats. Checkout is fast and employees are kind. Self checkout is also available.
Lots of fresh produce and wide selection of groceries. Very clean. Good rewards program. Convenient self check out and parking lot. Knocking off 1 star because pricing could be a bit better.
This Foodtown is always very clean and organized. They offer a great selection of fruit and fresh produce. The prices are fair, though I mostly shop for sales. My only complaint is that the aisles arent wide enough.
Well stocked, good staff and many registers are open normally. Only con, prices can be higher than other supermarkets. Overall a very good market.
Its a little pricey, but well set-up, clean and has a nice variety of products.
Clean, very well stocked store with tons of variety. The produce is usually very good. Im taking away one star because its a little pricey, so take advantage of weekly sales while they last. The store brand items, however, are lower priced.
Its Always a pleasure to go grocery shopping here! I go every week. They have a very nice and wide selection of grocery items here. IN ADDITION, they have self check out/Apple/Android pay and the employees are extremely nice, whenever I need to ask a question I know theyre always there happy and ready to help me out to the best of their a ability! Please shop here, these people deserve your buisness!
Convenient when you need something, but not my first choice. They have expired food everywhere. Last time I was looking at the meat and several packages were expired. This time I was looking for ready ti bake cookie dough and the few packages I took were expired 2 months ago. I’m concerned about their quality control and food safety.
Everything is so fresh there. The line is pretty long but if you take self checkout then its not going to take you that long. Everyone is also very helpful, if you need help just ask them and they will help you.
The employees here are helpful but this is a terribly run supermarket. Prices are very high. Fruit is usually not very good, vegetables are fine. Meat is good. They run out of items on the shelves a lot and when this happens they move items around to make it look like they have more. This ignores the price tags and makes finding items very frustrating. Many times when something is marked for sale it rings up at full price, always make sure to check at the register.
I had no card, so i could not buy anything. We requested to arrange card, but there was no available card. I Through that is not us.Thank
Black mane work at night roud and touff and no respect coustmers and derty mouse with coustmer very low class
The level of product has gotten very bad. We can get milk we use to buy. Cant get the rice, the juice. Its really disappointing. Prior to a few years ago. I used to love shopping at this location. Now I go our of my way to do my food shop. This is due to the lack of product and sometimes they are expired.Very bad business.
Great... they are very nice quiet and they hlep you nd they stuff like meats and fruits and vegetables... 😍😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Excellent customer service! I ordered donuts online for my students and they processed my order very quickly. The manager called to make sure that my delivery came at my preffered time. I also received a mug and candy as a token of appreciation!
Growing selection of local beer, sometimes great sales on things like ice cream. Started offering organic fresh meat, which is often the reason I go there. Ground beef is great, stakes are good but overpriced. Prepared food looks very suspicious, I wouldnt try it.Veggies are usually good, if a bit pricey.
Good:- Helpful staff- Meat is fresh- Decent variety of non-perishablesBad:- Milk is consistently not fresh, several times it was sour upon opening. Many times it was just starting to sour upon opening. I live one block from the store, my refrigerator works fine, and I know others who have had the same problem here, so the issue is with Key Foods. I have also had unfresh cream cheese and butter from here. I do not buy my dairy here any more as it is a waste of money.- Slow self checkout machines.- The meats/salads in the pay-by-weight deli station often look sad / dry / hardened, so theres no chance Id try buying any of it.
Nice local supermarket with all the things you need
Very organized store. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. And they do their best to get you checked out as fast as possible.
They are convenient and usually have what I need.they have 2 handicap parking spots.
I have been a customer of Foodtown for over 30 years. The counter men are always helpful and friendly. The floor staff will help you with your list, check out is usually quick. Price is competitive.
Great store - clean - inviting and good products- The deli guys are some of the friendliest and funniest people around and Santana - the manager is one of the nicest, helpful, service oriented people in any store around. I like him and I see that other customers like him and he treats the staff with a lot of respect.
Its the neighborhood grocery store. Convenient. A little pricey. Not great selection.
Quality supermarket way above average for NYC. Excellent deli, beer selection, and decent produce. No rotting veggies or flies here. Refreshing to have a great source for groceries so close to home.
Robust selection of groceries in a relatively small and compact location. Competitive prices. Some decent deals with a Foodtown Club Card. Parking can be tight at times, but at least there is a parking lot available. Immediately adjacent to the Church Avenue stop on the F/G lines. I enjoy shopping here, meets all my basic needs and most of my specialty needs too.
Produce section is never organized. You buy carrots today, good luck finding them tomorrow. My sister went to get us sandwiches (turkey, mozzarella, lettuce and tomato) for the beach, they didnt have lettuce or mozzarella.......how do you not have lettuce in a super market???
Self checkout machines never work, and never enough registers open. ~10 parking spaces, but 0 places to lock a bike. Pretty lousy groceries, but ok selection/prices on the non-perishables. Thank god for the veggie places on Church Ave.
I’m used to bigger super markets so found it a bit congested. Wonder what it is like when it is crowded? Friendly and helpful staff.
The service is fairly good. Im not sure if it is the area they are in but the prices are a bit pricey. The sale are rarely a bargain. (This might be bias again since I usually shop at Costco and the neighborhood it is in, has become fairly gentrified = rich people willing to pay even more for things that are normally cheaper)
Store feels constricted, and its pretty pricey. Well stocked and God beer selection though.
This is an okay place to shop if youre in the area. If you want better quality, go to Whole Foods in Brooklyn.This is a very good place for shopping sales and stocking up on basics for the pantry. The meat is often reasonably priced and the quality is fine.
Im visiting from Denver. I expected the prices to be higher than at home. And some are- things like processed and prepackaged. And some produce. But for the most part, the prices were the same or even lower. I was amazed that they had so much variety in such a small store. But only some things are priced on the shelf. Check out was a huge hassle fore and them because it was full of price checks. But they took it in stride and joked wed pay double next time.
Great staff very helpful . The music is wonderful a pleasure to listen to while you shop. Love the manager in the deli area and the young man that takes care of the fish area always says good morning. 👍
It is the only supermarket in the area = they dont care much about few things:1. Sometimes the food is out of date or the produce is rotten. I have to look carefully for the due date before buy2. there is no consistency in the product delivery. You may get use to one thing over 3 moths and then it is gone... for ever... sad3. It is pricy.Other then that service and people are great.
One of my favorite grocery shops. Has literally everything youd have in a normal kitchen. The fish there is fresh and cut right in front of you. Cant wait for my next visit.
My favorite place to quick shop for daily items
There are many reasons. As of now my dislike of prepacked meat is very distasteful. I want my meat cut and wrapped fresh, and packed where I am shopping. I wont purchase this meat. People wh I have mentioned this to agreed with me. ADIOS AMIGO
Mixed feelings. Not sure what to say!!!! Tina the manager is always super nice and knowledgeable but shes only there in the mornings. I lost my FOODTOWN card so Ive been using my number for the discounts and points but one day they told me I had to get a replacement. So I came in the next day early and Tina said that I was misinformed... not sure what happened. Please always check the expiration on items as some things just sit there.... ugh! (Its a pain to come back).
I almost always go to Foodtown. I remember when they first opened here many years ago. They have a big selection of items. I know the managers and most of the staff.I took off one star because the store has become pretty expensive, more than it used to be. Since they remodeled so many years ago, actually. Dont get me wrong, they have some great weekly sales, but on the whole theyve gotten more expensive. But I still go...☺
The place is friendly especially the cashier Rebecca she friendly and very helpful
Awesome place to get stuff from
Nice-looking produce, wide inventory, clean and well-organized store. Helpful staff person directing people to open registers.
Its a fine go to place. Clean and good overall selection. Great beer selection!Rewards program is pretty terrible, service is only ok and some of the food they have at the cold cuts section is honest ly bad. However Its still a good place.
Very rude employees (2of them)i was already on line in the aisle #6 and she was telling me to go to the back of the line for no good reason i was waiting online for a while i didnt skip anyone i stood online plus they had no manners or respect and was very loud and rude but a customer saw exactly what happened and let me go ahed so unprofessional this was on 4/20/20 around 6 I believe they were hispanic horrible customer service definitely will speak to the manager if i go back
Great place to for a quick or a general shop day, they carry most high branded and also self branded items. Lines move quick and the place also have people that can help! The managers there are also AMAZING. Great place to go and do your grocery shopping.
Very nice grocery store. Its not a huge supermarket, but you will certainly able to get most if not all things on your list from here.
Spacious, great selection, and well prepared in terms of COVID-19 cleanliness-- hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, vegetable bags, distanced lines, automatic & human cashier checkout, the works!
Good selection of items here but prices are a bit on the high side. Easy checkout and helpful staff.
They have a very good selection of Salsa I get the Brads organic mild it has the l lowest amount of sodium. They have a very good selection of cookies also.
Its a very convenient spot to grab breakfast items and last minute grocery stuff. Vegetable and fruits are relatively fresh. They often put Chobani greek yogurt on sale. I wouldnt go there for my weekly grocery shopping because they are pretty expensive.
Not the standard iam a custom to sorry not good charge a1 doller fee for bag that is 20 cents evryother store
Its a fairly typical grocery store. It has a parking lot, which is kind of unusual for NYC. The workers dont seem to care whether youre there or not. They are prettt much going to have what you need, but youll be paying New York prices for it.
Foodtown is a nice grocery store. Its kind of small and hard to navigate but they have a large selection of items that I cant find at the smaller grocery stores. Its more expensive than the smaller non-chain stores but it has way more items.
Its a nice modern grocery place. Its cool inside and they have self checkouts. The place sells a lot of products at a fair price and I never had a problem there.
Always stocked but a smaller sized store so hard to navigate. Does not stock all the products as their larger store in Bay Ridge. Very helpful staff. Deli manager is the best
This is a good grocery store. They have pretty much everything you might need, and a good frozen section. My only complaints are that certain items are really hard to find, and that the self-checkout malfunctions the second you think about using it.
Crack my eggs and they reimburse me with a new eggs
Aisles are wide. Good beer selection. You can find most of what you want. Produce is ok but you are better off going to Carnival for that.
Came in to pick up somethings. Its was geat foodtown what I looking for. They got my business !!
I go to this store many times but is always been same : their customer service is horrible and whoever works either at register or on floor or at self check out have no clue whats going on in there . Serious they need to have good worker that have in mind that customers go there and if they say something is on sale they have to trust ( why someone would say something that is not ? ) instead of either ignoring the customers or asking 2 or 3 more employees that have also no damn clue or saying : I am busy now ... .Nobody put sign on products : YOU DID ..have whoever works there know that and not looking on a big flyer where the one was looking at, she didnt even know where to look .... RIDICULOUS !
Nice and clean place to shop.customer sercice are okay but they can do better
Wonderful, bright grocery. Offers lots of choices and a helpful staff. My only gripe is wishing the store hours where a bit longer into the night.
Its a little pricey for my taste but Its conveniently located and well stocked.
Good prices. I love embarassing my wife by singing along and dancing to the oldies music they always play. Also great craft/foreign beer selection.
Not the best prices but not many grocery stores around. They buy products for the store that are not popular which then increases prices to make up for these orders. Has all the necessities but if youre driving, go somewhere else.
Typical grocery store. Has most food items. Produce can be hit an miss for some things, and not all produce items are à la carte (e.g., jalapeños are sold in packages of 10 or more which is kind of annoying). The beer selection is very good for a grocery store. There are discounts on many items if you have a membership card.
Expensive and rude staff.
Meh its ok, beware hipster pricing though. It carries some specialty items that I need which is convenient when I dont feel like driving to Shoprite though at a big markup.....and Ive never benefited or got anything from all my greenstamps ...🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is the typical expensive Brooklyn grocery--but the people are consistently rude after a few visits. So ShopRite is down the road, also rude, but ten times the selection and half the price. Windsor Market is closer to my house, very friendly people, same prices. Point is--Foodtown is the choice in groceries that makes no sense -- unless you live next door.
Excellent customer service! Also, following 6ft apart social distancing very well. Great product and selection!
Very over priced and never reorder customers fave items. Also never show prives so u have to guess on almost every item. Waste of shoppimg time. Workers very nice helpful but management sucks.
I am done waiting for an actual apology from Foodtown of Kensington after the manager, Santana falsely accused my 9 year old of shoplifting and searched her bag. He followed her around the store asking if she had money to buy anything and then told her he had called the police and they would be there soon. When he searched her bag she began crying and asked what she had done wrong. When I contacted the corporate office I received a phone call from one of the owners promising apologies and meetings that have never happened. She was with her grandmother, but I can tell you if I had been there he never would have searched her backpack. He publicly embarrassed my mom and my child and made my child cry for no reason.
Ive been going to this store off and on for 9 yrs. Its a very nice store that has good sales.
Nice and clean. A little experience
Friendly and helpful staff.Prices are on the high side. Small bodegas in the neighborhood charge less for many of their items.Some outdated stock is always on the shelves.
Prices are not great but they had a nice selection of produce.
Very friendly great Point reward system they have incentives for the customers they gave out free TVs with raffling when you put your ticket in it already has your name address an email printed out so its really convenient you dont have to sit there and fill it out then put it in the Dropbox overall great prices nice friendly neighborhood supermarket
Standard grocery store with parking and mebership cards, mostly lower price point brands but a solid selectiom of craft beer. Produce is fresh 4/5 visits.
Clean, has lots of options, vegetables and fruit are overpriced for the area and the quality isnt the best for them to boot. Deli is pretty great though. Nice staff.
Convenient for quick mid week shopping. Parking lot and good layout. Prices are high on most items. Very clean and neat
I spent 200$$$ On groceries and had to buy one dollar worth of shopping bags!!! Come on give us paper bags at least!!! And I feel sorry for those who are in government need they pay too!!!
Decent selection especially for the size of the store. Which is good because there arent many grocery stores in the area. Also the baking department is pretty good.
Careful in the parking lot. People will just block you in and go about their day with no care about your frozen groceries. Lady made me wait for her to load her car before she would unblock me
Not too many store brands but Appetizing Dept. Is great. You can pick up a a quick meal to heat and serve at home. Check the spelling on the labels......HILARIOUS.
As far as local supermarket go in NYC this one is solid. Make. Sure to check expiration dates. Also has a fantastic selection of craft beer.
Foodtown is a suburban quality supermarket in my Brooklyn neighborhood. A large selection great deli section with aisle wide enough to shop comfortably.
Nice store, great beer selection, just avoid the self-checkout machines- they dont work!
Large supermarket. Produce section needs work. Also purchased a pastry that was moldy. The deli is great though, always seems fresh and friendly interactions.
Always a wonderful experience
Lots of the products you need.
My local supermarket closed. I have to take the train 1 stop to shop here, but it is definitely worth the trip. Good selection of foods and prices are great. I will continue to shop here.
Nice number one beautiful
The store is good but Ive called them to place an order 4 times this week. They never answer the phone. Its just rings and rings and rings. Come on...
Great prices and the store manager is very helpful. Place is organized and plenty of room in the isle.
Bit pricey but always clean and organized
Decent place. Not the biggest supermarket in the world but had what I needed. Could have had a few more ring out lines open.
Amazing place.whatever ur looking for they have itThe employees are very nice and helpful and the place is very clean. Easy to access cuz its right next to the F train
Well stocked clean and friendly staff
One of the better supermarkets in the area.Nice peopleNot the biggest selection. But its quality over quantity.
Watch out what type of fruit u buy ..They are rotten 8 outta 10 x
The place have all you can need like meats,produce,drink,food court,and more I highly recommend so you save lot money for you pocket for kind of price in everything buy.
Ive been shopping here my entire life... The sales have declined immensely and prices have sky rocketed... I rather drive a few more miles to shop rite...
*Edit* wow I hate this place. If you forgot your shopping card (which is needed for any discounts) they wont swipe for you and they wont let you swipe someone elses. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.Over priced low quality produce. They dont have bread, like literally bread. What kind of grocery store doesnt have bread? This place is way over priced has poor selection and they only ever have 1 lane open and the terrible self-checkout lanes that barely even works. Sucks if this is the closest supermarket to you.
Produce doesnt last long so I recommend getting your fruits and veggies on Church Ave. Staff can be quite rude, except for the guys at the cold cuts deli.
I enjoyed food shopping here. This was my 1st time shopping her and it was great. The food selection was different than my local supermarket.. I will continue shopping here
Prices are too high, theres always a line & when you go to the register, you have to pay close attention or they will over charge you. The managers on the floor are not friendly or helpful.
Some good deals on good quality iteams. Organic as well as more conventional groceries..customer service is spotty though...
I have being shopping at foodtown for years and have always been please with the service. It is a friendly atmosphere. The food is always fresh.Thanks for your service
Had to be the worst supermarket ever over priced old produce lousy workers.
Convenience. The store is close to where I live. Its clean and well stocked. The prices are a little high but the sales are good.
Not bad overall but the deli counter is terrible. Regardless of requests, meat and cheese are sliced super thick.
Been shopping here for 20+ yrs...they have renovated at least twice for the better...great staff...and managers...
Nice spot for grabbing some groceries. the staff is nice
Being that this store covers Windsor Ter., Kensington and a few other areas, just getting into the lot can be trying at times. . As far as the store, they have whatever you could want.
The service they provide there is honestly the best and u will find any type of food there and plus my brother works for the company that their cheese comes from
Clean and neat, huge deli dept., nice cheese selection.
Workers were helpful and kept customers moving to checkout quickly.
Decent prices for the area, they have a ton of great stuff. They need to move away from unnecessary packaging with vegetable items.
FRIENDLY HELPFUL STAFF, CLEAN, GREAT SELECTION FOR ALL TASTES; HUGE FRESH MEAT/FISH AND FROZEN FOOD SECTIONS; COFFEE BAR INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR
Has a lot of products and never expired. Items are a lot of times on sale and store give a lot of perks for those who have food town card
I love this supermarket because it carries all the vegan products I need plus very kind and friendly staff.
They have a wide variety of things. I got Lactaid cottage cheese an Lactaid sour cream
It’s pretty good For a basic supermarket, Not my chart canister
The overall quality of products is good and the space is neat and tidy. It is slightly more expensive than other supermarket chains in New York.
Though a big Muslim community around the neighborhood, but no specific Halal(Muslim permissable) food
Its an average store. the Bayridge store has a much larger selection. I prefer it but for convenience I go to the Kensington store.
I live next to Food town have no choice prices very high items marked for sale you always have to check because rings up full price and if you have items on sale a good price they keep item for 2 days and during the week no moore.
I like foodtown and all those that work there are always eager to help when looking for a particular item.The produce is always fresh and those selection of meats are always fresh and available.
It used to be a 4.5 with the quality of food, service and prices. Now, the prices take away from the stars. The food quality and service people are still wonderful!
My experience at this place is so good.I would like to shopping again in this store.
Great place, good sales, keep up the amazing work.
Courteous staff, clean and well stocked. Prices are not excessive. Parking is available
Meh. Sells food. Unremarkable, but not bad.
Great supermarket..
Very clean. Lots of organic offerings. Good staff. Great deli homemade dinners.
Clean and pleasant atmosphere to shop in. You can find almost everything you need.
Good, wide range of choices. Love the self-checkout. Very friendly staff.
To be honest store is great but meat section and the whole store had a odor
Foodtown has definitely come through for this community during these times of crisis. Thanks and kudos to them!!
It’s the place you go when you forgot to get something at Trader Joe’s. Not ideal to do actually grocery shopping. You’ll spend twice as much here on below average products.
They have food here and the store is clean

2022-01-17This is the neighborhood groceries store. I have been going to this Foodtown for more than 20 years. Store was renovated in last 10 years and improved. Store is always clean and shelves are always full. They used to have live crabs 🦀 in the tank. Foodtown also provides employment to local community. Parking lot is small but you can manage by waiting for few minutes before someone leaves. Foodtown provides cash back and home delivery. If you have club card then you can start accumulating points to get some items on sale.

2022-01-14Awesome spot for all shopping. Very friendly, amazing service, happy workers. It’s just a great experience every time we shop here.But then there’s this. “A birthday card for my girls birthday. SIGNED BY ALL THE WORKERS ON”. What a personal and lovely feeling - my girl was so happy coming to me and showing me that her first Bday card has arrived.Love you guys you’re the best

2022-05-29I always stop by there before work to grab some snacks and they always have great deals and you earn points towards items or gift cards. The employees are always very nice and help you pack your groceries. They also have decent hot coffee there as well.

2022-04-05This store is the only neighborhood supermarket that carries egg wrap crepes. They seem to have a decent selection of items. The store is always neat and clean and fairly well stocked. Some prices seem a bit high but overall its a good neighborhood supermarket.

2021-01-15The store is clean, and the employees are friendly and helpful. All customers must wear masks. They provide wipes for the baskets and carts while entering the store, and hand sanitizer upon exiting.There are dividers between each guest at the self check out, and if you go to a cashier theres also a divider between you and the cashier. Theres only one line for self and regular check-out, but the line moves pretty swiftly.The meat and dairy refrigerators were a bit dated (poorly lit and not 100% clean) which may contribute to the poor quality of their meat. Their produce is pretty pricey. I dont recommend buying their meats because most of it does not look fresh. I lucked out with the cubed chicken, which was relatively fresh. I posted a photo of the chicken.

2022-04-08I stopped buying produce here because the prices are so wild and the produce is never fresh enough to justify the cost. Isaacs, which is just a couple blocks away, is much cheaper for the same stuff. Im also disappointed by the sushi section - the selection isnt fresh either and its the same price as Sake sushis right down the street, where stuff is made to order.

2022-07-08Always check the expiration dates if you shop in this store! I just bought a pack of cheese in July that expired in April. This is my third experience accidentally buying expired items but I’ve seen expire items on the shelves as well.
