The supermarket rips off customers with misleading sales promotion. When I told the manager, my groceries were ringing up wrongly on cash register. He got upset and forbade me from shopping in the store.

Selection good price is OK.problem is you can’t shop in peace because isles are crowded with boxes.because they stock during the busiest times instead of stocking at night all isles are blocked you can’t reach for what you want.

Produce has never been acceptable. And the meats are old and sometimes tainted. Only thing I trust are canned and bottled goods. It's as third world as the closed down McDonalds next store. Lazy and uncaring employees. Surprised if they get past this year. Be prepared to pay 57 cents for a bag if you don't have your own. Where they came up with that number I'll never know lol!

Only one manager here who is the best you can tell he doesnt only care about spanish people like the rest of them in there. I call.him superman because that's who he looks like lol. The rest of the workers only care for you if u look like them. The meat department absolutely REEKS.and its expensive as all hell. Only come here if you have too. Trader Joe's is cheaper than this place.

I only go here because it's the largest market in the area and the food is not always super fresh. They do have a large variety of items which I appreciate.

The greens are the freshest i've seen in the neighborhood and it's the only store nearby that carries escarole

Arguably your best in the area in terms of selection. Somewhat pricey.and you can find good selection of produce from multiple vendors on the street just outside for less than half the price inside. FU's meat prices are killer though. Also, depending on the time of day, lines may be crazy long. I try to avoid the 530-6pm after-work rush. One evening I was stuck in line for over half an hour! Solid overall, though. I do most of my shopping here.

Better produce section than the market on 146th and B'way but the lines take forever here for some reason.

They are slow, the managers are incompetent. The line goes to the back of the store, and no help for the cashiers to pack. The seniors all want to have a long conversation. You wait on the Express line, just as long as the regular line, because the signs are not clear and no one to enforce it. The aisles are not marked as to where to find things, so you walk around and around. The line for the deli counter merges with the checkout line. In a nutshell is a S$$T SHOW.
