All the Big Y grocery stores are fine markets as I wrote in a recent review of the Avon Big Y. The Torrington Big Y renovated its interior awhile ago, maybe 2010?, into a more upscale shop like their others and customers welcomed the improvement. This particular Big Y makes great daily doughnuts. Everything in the butchers case yesterday looked fresh and impressive. If I didnt have dinner plans, the steak pinwheels looked beautiful. The only ribs for Labor Day we could find werent pork, but Angus beef, but this will be a delicious change.Like all grocery chains now, they use digital coupons you have to upload to your card from your online account. A spontaneous shopping trip, I didnt go online first to add any Id have liked to use, otherwise Id have bought their pound of butter on sale that could only be purchased with the digital coupon. Im not sure this helps seniors, or anyone too much unless they are computer savvy. A little pricier than some chains, but working sales and coupons a visit can always make the trip a good buy. Big Ys own brand includes some good products.

Go here because its close.Associate friendliness and awareness is hit or miss. Service areas have slow react time on acknowledging customers.cakes are good, but dont let the associate pick which cake to give you, they give you the oldest cake there. My husband came back with a strawberry cake that tasted expired the next day. PICK YOUR OWN CAKE. Sandwiches are good depending on whos making it. Pizzas are good and good priced!

The daytime manager who was an older woman was rather unpleasant and seemed to have an attitude.It would have been nice to have been greated as a customer who frequents this store on a regular basis.I dont know if this is her daily deamenor but Id recommend she gets training on her customer service skills.I do however speak highly of Dave who is quiet pleasant.

Above the rest = top of its class = service is indeed world class, prices were a little high but the bargains are also there .... Staff is polite and informative . I think of returning soon

Well-organized aisles with beautifully displayed products of every kind! There are well-known products, as well as newer, locally sourced items, and seasonal bargains. The location includes a florist, pharmacy, butchery, creamery, bakery and pizzeria. The pizzeria only sells pre-made slices, so one cannot order customized slices (maybe they have not yet figured out a way to charge for made-to-order pizza) but must choose only from slices displayed in a vitrine.

First time in the Torrington Big Y. What a wonderful grocery store. Far larger than I expected. Very nice layout with everything fully stocked. Wide aisles that are well lit but not starkly lit. Beautifully appointed shelving and cases with everything clearly identified. A huge step up from your usual grocery store.

Review №14

Every product known to man... and some unknown! There is a pharmacy, a florist, stationery, butchery, seafood, pizzeria, creamery, bakery and café. Friendly staff. Self check-out and automated coin-sorter. One gripe is that the pizzeria only sells pre-made slices, with the employee telling me that “they are not supposed to add toppings” which they had added when pre-making the displayed slices only minutes before.

Let’s be real, the bakery here is out of control amazing. You can tell stuff is actually made from scratch, tastes fresh, just too good. Sushi is way better and fresher than stop and shop. And I love their sandwiches. Oh, and we all know the pizza is incredible too. But overall I feel like I don’t find as many sales here as other places and things end up being a bit more expensive. The selection suffers in some departments, but for example their Asian foods section has memmi and cupie mayo which other places don’t have. The atmosphere is nice. The produce department is the weakest link. The selection isn’t great and things are clearly not fresh many times. They don’t carry some basic things and hardly ever have worthwhile sales. It’s strange because the rest of the store is great except for these few issues. Overall I just really like the vibes of coming here and everything on the right side of the store haha

Highly impressed with the Winsted BigY. Their bakery goods are reminiscent of the quality breads you would get from a local bakery back in the 60s & 70s before big box stores became the norm. They have a really impressive selection of cheeses, including local ones. The fish is fresh, delivered almost daily. And the selection of meats offered is tremendous. Im sorry I didnt check out this store sooner.

Most expensive grocery store around and the quality is no better than anywhere else. The employees arent rude but they arent friendly either. The only positive thing that I can say is that the store is visually appealing, but that doesnt make up for everything else.

Love their prices for fruit, veggies, and meat. Also, their flowers and fresh herbs, I minus one star because they dont have any old bread or bakery things. They donate it, which is cool, but thats a big part of my buying bread groceries shopping

My prefer shopping place. You have to shop smart or you can overspend though. I am not a big fan of their world classics brand or any big y store brand items. I always enjoy stopping by the back to check out the clearance items. The staff are always pretty helpful and nice as well.

I used to feel safe at Big Y in Torrington and shopped there often. But today there was a women shopping without wearing a mask and no one challenged her. She even checked out with a cashier! I no longer feel safe from Covid at this store. I will not be back. I’m disappointed in the Torrington Big Y

The Torrington BigY is any overall good store, but their prices can be on the high side if youre not shopping the sales. I have to say that the quality and freshness of their products is held to high standards. The fresh made pizza and bakery items are surprisingly good as well.

I live in Litchfield county. Been here for over 50 years. Times are ah changing and a lot of changes are crazy. Grocery shopping I hate. But I am happy to say that big y in Torrington is out performing all the other grocery stores around. Kinder more respectful more helpful and carrying good merchandise. And I hate writing reviews. You deserve a heap of credit.Thankyou for saving the true shopping experience. 6 out of 5 stars.Al

Big y has excellent products but for lack of a better analogy the price of their products are a rip-off just as an example they must have bad labor problems because their prices are double.normally,a $2.75 quart of coffee creamer was $4 89.Thats what 2 quarts should be

Staff was very nice and knowledgable. I shop here frequently since its convenient to where I work. So Ill pick up a few things before I start my shift or before I go home after work. Only downside personally is that they dont carry a lot of fresh ocean caught fish. Youll find some in the frozen section but not too many fresh options.

I go for the deals but then they fool you. For instance a four pound bag of no name wings by one get one for $14.99, really? I fell for the no name precooked bbq ribs buy one get two thinking even there it cannot be more then ten dollars as is cheaper in other stores but no, it was $19.99. So if l go in there next week after the sale a pkge will cost me $20.00? Nice store, pleasant people but basically a rip off if you are trying to pinch pennies.

December 10, 2019I go here for the meat section, it is reasonably priced but the quality is very good. Best place outside of a butcher shop to find meat. The only reason I rate it 4 out of 5 is because everything else os way overpriced. I will drive over to Market 32 for the better deals.Edited December 11, 2019I do have a BigY card but still find better deals at market 32 (I have a member card here as well), price right, and walmart. But thank you BigY for the offer for the card.
