4 Stars - A Much Better Experience Than North Brunswick…read more After a frustrating visit to the North Brunswick Walmart--where pressing the help button in the paint section got me nothing but a wild goose chase to electronics and a mile-long line--I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly things went at the Old Bridge location. I pressed the button in the paint section, and unlike before, I received immediate assistance. The associate was helpful, and I was in and out quickly without any unnecessary hassle. It's clear this store is better managed and customer-focused. I'm giving four stars because while the experience was great, there's always room for improvement--but compared to North Brunswick, this place is a breath of fresh air.

This Walmart sits by itself and there are no other stores near it. Inside it is a bit more worn…read moreand dim and cashiers could be a little bit more abrasive than I have seen in other Walmarts. Though the overall staff were fine. Clearance section is tiny and for superstore it didn't feel like it. As I wandered, I drifted close by to the restrooms and didn't know I drifted until I smelled it. The unpleasant urine smells were way too pungent and lingering that more bathroom staff need to be assigned. I wasn't even that close and smelled it way before I noticed I was by the bathrooms. I never stepped inside so that's how putrid it was! I had to take a star away for this. This one could use some brighter lights to give it a cheerier feel. It does have some interesting products like the Better Goods Walmart brand. The frozen gnocchi is quite good and so are the chippies made with avocado oil. Not all of the chippies are as healthy so check the ingredients carefully. There is a FedEx and Subway inside for convenience and shoppers find it convenient to stop at Subway for a lunch break. I found it was just okay.

However, since it is a farmers market, you would definitely think they would have a lot of fresh fruit, and veggies. Do they have a lot of fruits and veggies? Indeed they do. Are a lot of them fresh, or look okay to buy? No, not really. Still, we found some fruit that did look good. The store is not super clean. There was a lot of onion peels in the floor in one aisle. The store has friendly staff, and it's very reasonably priced!

I started asking one of the attendants about the ingredients when she gestured to get someone else to help in English. The lady that came over was so friendly, patiently explained any dishes I had questions about, gave me samples to make decisions, and gave me candid recommendations on the entrees and desserts. She spent a total of 15-20 minutes with me just to plan a small gathering for three: three types of salad, Hungarian chicken, lamb samsa, and two types of deserts, which rang up to $70. The salads were instant home runs, so fresh and tasty, and everyone raved about it. Most customers speak Russian with the attendants, and it looks like most attendants can provide at least minimal assistance in English. I see myself coming back regularly to try other goodies.

That no mushrooms were to be present in anything or an anaphylatic reaction would take place. I said this 17 times during the ordering process that no mushrooms were to be delivered. Not only that, there wasn't even enough food for the guests and I had to order elsewhere to cover the difference in food..even with their mistake they charged me for the barely extra food that was delivered after their mistake. Now the woman, who just lost her parents and buried them today, has no food to eat. I called and spoke with "Bob" . He said, all he could do was apologize for the error even though we now have someone taking benadryl to hopefully avoid going to the emergency room. A disgusting show customer service and a complete lack of empathy. I would rather have paid McDonald's to have catered this event.

They do not carry fresh Asian vegetables, sadly, but they do have an International aisle that carries some, and the main focus was on Mexican spices and tortillas, etc. The butcher section is one of my favorites. I was looking for pork belly and did not feel like going all the way to Edison, NJ. I saw their pork belly beautifully cut, but it was not as thick as I would like. I saw the sign indicating I could ring and speak to the butcher. After briefly asking, he cut it to the perfect thickness, and I will be able to make my sticky braised pork belly. They also carry a vast array of spices, so I was able to obtain my Five Spice here. Before I forget, they have an amazing cheese section. Some are precut, and there is a person at the counter who can cut you a fresh cheese wedge for charcuterie. Overall, a great experience at the local grocery store.

On multiple occasions, I've been greeted by staff upon entering the store. As with most Trader Joe's stores, it is a small grocery store, but there is always some treasure to be discovered. As much as I've tried to deny it, it has been a place to get some essentials and convenience items at a pretty good price. They always come out with some unique, seasonal items and I'm typically upset when they are sold out for the season. However, that's the fun of going to Trader Joe's! If you've read my previous reviews of other Trader Joe's stores, I usually have some sort of complaint about the parking lot. You can't tell me that Trader Joe's doesn't pick the worst section of the parking lot to place their stores. With that being said, the parking lot at this particular Trader Joe's is actually somewhat okay. It is at the end of a strip mall/shopping center, so it's on a corner, but not terrible. Just be sure to pay attention to the signs saying you can't turn in certain directions.

My Mini-Me has been on a Trader Joe's Soup Dumpling kick for about 3 months now, the chicken (red-…read morebox) to be specific. So this past week, we ran out --my goodness this is a disaster of epic proportions, because when you like something,you like something and I had no idea how serious this was. Yes she buys her own and yes I contribute the restock of said dumplings. But ya know... So I just drove to Brick, because I had to shop for my MIL, nope. no dumplings. So I said okay Freehold-- uhh no dumplings. So now I am in a bit of a panic, I drive to Shrewsbury, since I have a Dr's appt I'll stop here, they had one box- now I am really beginning worry- is this a seasonal item? did they discontinue it? So I ask one of the TJ awesome staff if they have any and they said no, But to call Middletown, so I have yet another Dr's appt close by, I call, and low and behold they have plenty... Mom saves the lunch crises once again. NOW, if you have not had these dumplings, you need to buy them, 6 cute little light, airy dumplings that you can steam them in the packaging in your microwave OR in steamer, but MINI-Me takes these to work and pops them in the micro, adds soy sauce, and chili crisp and she is happy. I bought the vegetable and pork, I prefer the pork and chicken flavored dumplings. They are absolutely easy to cook, work in a pinch and are very filling for lunch and they break up the old sandwich / salad crisis, just grab it out of your freezer and take to work. I recommend you give these a try! Huge round of applause to the staff at this TJ store, thank you for being so well stocked.

No matter how nice a customer is to them, they are "nasty." The prices are exorbitant for what you get, and especially during the holidays they take full advantage.
