My mother and I did our basic foods simply toward the beginning of today, and this staple shop truly has everything. We are both dazzled on the grounds that there is an assortment of items that you can browse, and surprisingly the best merchandise that you can get. BIG THANKS!

04/15/19 12:30pm MondayI like this supermarket better than the Central Islip Target because the food products here are more diverse, the price point on average is good, and they usually dont block the food aisles.Speaking of merchandise, the store is generally well-stocked and you can find the manager if needed. The prices are working class average. Desserts are based on Hispanic supply and demand. There are exceptions, but you will not find Pepperidge Farms cookies here.*******************************************Addendum: 07/24/19 1:00pm Wednesday.This is not the best time to shop due to new stock arriving and being shelved. The place is in disarray which makes it difficult to locate what you need and there are trip hazards throughout the central aisles. (See photos). There are far too many items not priced; those against the wall are not priced at all where the apples are. There are some sale price labels, but it is impossible to determine which apples, or any fruit, are on sale or the sale price. Some labels that do exist are not legible. It will seriously delay your shopping time if you are cost-conscious and find yourself investigating and calculating rather than buying. Their produce scales also need to be calibrated.Side Note: one-gallon jugs of water are not available here. Cases of individual plastic bottles of water for the landfill or recycling ARE available.These matters were reported (not the water bottle thing) to the lady at Customer Service who immediately went on the defensive instead of calling the manager. Why work in Customer Service if you think we have mistaken you for the CEO of the company? You will never be accused of such a thing! I explained she was not responsible, rather the only person who could be found. My additional thirty minutes shopping here will not be ignored due to the unnecessary inconvenience. It is said you pay for convenience. No, convenience is when you chew my food to give to the dog. It is cheaper than Alpo.If you shopped here on your lunch hour today, you may been very late getting back to work. CTown gets TWO STARS today when it should be FOUR as it was during the first review. Two stars because Customer Service acted as a gatekeeper, not a problem/solution facilitator.This review will be amended again if these shortcomings are rectified by my next unannounced visit. WalMart is still my ace-in-the-hole, or Best Market, but CTown is conveniently located in my corner of the planet.A More Upbeat Criticism:My cashier, Rosa, was an absolute gem. She empathized with me and made me feel better than Customer Disservice. Rosa did not pass the buck, an old phrase meaning irresponsible. Make her Manager.Was all this drama a big deal? Not really, just really friggin annoying.

My wife and I decided to make the Dominican version of sancocho - a hearty stew - and needed ingredients indigenous to that culture so we stopped in and found virtually every ingredient we needed there. This store has an amazing selection of products indigenous to many Latin cultures and we will definitely use it again for future recipes.

This is a pretty convenient, safe and accessible location. There is usually ample parking available too.Once inside, there is a wholesome and wide variety of fresh foods, goods, and products in stock, for affordable prices.They give you a free case of drinking water when you spend a certain amount.Plus, this is the main place for us to purchase our Jamaican/Caribbean foods, snacks, drinks, and seasonings.We can eat healthily and nutritiously Jamaican courtesy of this nice Supermarket!

Prices are at low end, so as the quality of the products, except some fresh produce. You have to pay cash if the total is less than $10. Some times go for eggs when its on sale. I did buy fish at times that I am in a rush and cant go to the regular supermarket I that like. They do accept food stamps. You will meet a lot of Spanish people there.

Well, first of all let me make it clear Im reviewing the plaza as a whole, not the supermarket. Im sure the supermarket is just fine.Anyway..........Theres about a dozen stores here. Low income area, as a white guy I stick out like a sore thumb, no big just fact of lifeAnyway.......lets just say its one of those places one would be wise to think twice about visiting after dark.. Especially alone and definitely as a female..idk yo what do they wantI mean my phone asked me to review the place, what did you want me to say? Its a supermarket in the hood

Dirty messy crowded the fruits rot the next day...they don’t take credit cards unless it’s over $10 don’t buy any cell phone accessories sold there because it’s trash & they absolutely don’t offer returns because the package is open .. it happened to me bought a car charger went to parking lot & didn’t work went back inside explained what happened they couldn’t offer a return because their “manager” wasn’t there that day.. it’s just a piece of shyt store.
