Went to Pats. You have to be really careful when you get prepared foods they dont last . I got some food from deli department 2 days later it was bad. This is the 3rd time this happened. Same with SOME vegetables. But he does have an AWSOME cheese dept. His prices are a bit high compared to other major stores. But I only go in emergency or last minute
Prices are above what they should be due to any competition in the immediate area. I consider the supermarket, Pats Marketplace, to be an inadequate size to carry enough variety for shoppers who want more choices. For instance, some stores may sell Krasdale brand vegetables alongside, say, Green Giant brand with a decidedly different price point.As for the other shops, one large space is empty and for lease. Dunkin Donuts now known as just Dunkin, is a popular stop. The other stores? Put a gun to my head and still I could not tell you what they are.Your closest supermarket would be Best Market on 111, across the street from the Islip LIRR Station.Bottom line: there is no other place to buy items to make your own lunch, or grab a donut and coffee if you work at Sunrise Business Center. When it was Grumman, you brought lunch from home that your wife made for you while she stayed home and took care of the kids and watched General Hospital.We live in a different, very imperfect world which necessitates a Heckscher Shopping Center to exist. We still need an independent butcher shop though like we had in the 50s and 60s. One could still hope.
Really nice gourmet grocery store all high quality great butcher, fish market and bakery deli counter is awesome you can mix or match six packs of different craft beers I really like this store but the thing I like most is the smell of the billions of different cheese in front of you with all the produce to the right when you walk in the door the smell of all the different fruit and vegetables mixes with the smell of the cheese and is absolutely mouth watering

2022-05-02I think you got the photos backwards when I went to looks like the photo that you claim is in Heckscher. It looks like the one I went to in East Islip. Its east of Irish Lane and I know its east of 126 Main Street in East Islip

2021-02-28Pats has a great bakery, Deli, and produce section. Their pricing is a little more than the chains, but they are consistently good, it feels clean and the product seems to be refreshed regularly.The only complaint I have about them is that their milk is ALWAYS old. When I say that, I mean every time I have gone in there for milk, its got at most 5 days left on it. If my milk survives that long in my fridge, Im usually throwing it out, as the taste is off by then.I understand they are rotating stock, but they need to manage it better. I find I go to other stores because I need milk, and then just wind up buying my other things there.They lose all my business because of a gallon of milk. Sorry, but its a deal breaker for me.

2020-01-31I frequently shop here because of Pats market grocery store and Dunkin Donuts. There used to be a large Rite Aid here, but it is now closed which I really miss. There is a very large parking lot which floods when it rains and makes it difficult to enter and exit the plaza. Pats market carries excellent bakery items, heat and eat fresh dinners, salad bar, hot food buffet for take out dinners which almost always has a variety of chicken wings, things like Italian sausage & peppers, hot beef stew, home made style large Italian meatballs, eggplant or chicken parm, meatloaf, grilled vegetables, etc. Something different every day which is one reason I love this store. Prices are comparable to the competition. It does seem like they have a slower turn around of fresh items so I always check the expiration dates before buying. Great store.

2021-06-10Good shopping center when you need one of the businesses within. Be aware making a left out of the center can be crazy sometimes. Look at their individual reviews for the review of the store itself.
