Good food and great app prices but bad to their workers. They don't treat them great and will fire people over things they don't even notice the worker about. Usually big y will give a written notice. Some people don't get that and get it thrown at them that they're fired without one. When knowing they should before they escalate to firing. I would think before being hired here read more

When I first bought here, I was a snob about not going to Big Y. Well, it was justified back then because most main stream supermarkets failed to carry items to support a vegan / veg / healthy lifestyle. Now Big Y does and also has great indulgence items like pizza and killer donuts. You can also find nice specials on random items. For instance, Adirondack chairs are on sale for $29.95 and you really do not need to spend hundreds on "higher quality" ones - the right look is there for the price. So, I can wholeheartedly recommend Big Y to stock up on your country retreat supplies. read more

Always a good experience at Big Y. Lots of choices. Fresh food and pizza shop for a quick affordable meal. Employees are always friendly. Store is clean and updated to a newer design. read more

We went to another market in the area first. This place blew that place out of the water. Seriously this market was amazing. All I kept saying was how much nicer this place was. They had everything. If in the area this is the supermarket to go to. read more

I recently got cupcakes for a party here! The prices are exceptional and the cupcakes were delicious! My interactions with the bakery staff was delightful I was helped by a woman named Robin who made sure my order was exactly how I wanted it ( I changed my mind multiple times in 3 days) She was patient and never made me feel like a burden! I will be getting future orders for party's from here only. Thank you Robin and thank you big Y! read more

Eric in the meats department is the most helpful guy ever! As a home chef, I consult him on my dinner plans and meat experiments. He is SUPER helpful as his knowledge of meats is amazing. Please take great care of him! read more

I went to this supermarket because I was visiting my uncle in New Milford. I usually don't review supermarkets but I was please to see the variety of ethnic food ingredients (oriental, polish, latin, jewish) in this small town. Another thing that I liked was the "search computers" around the market to find things. Their "promo" or "discount" system is not the classic points, it is based on getting gold and silver points... I did not understand how it worked. Oh!, I almost forget about the bakery section... the pies are pretty good. read more

Big Y - Grocery Near Me - New Milford, Connecticut

See all

I was at the Big Y location in New Milford CT, 9/3/2023. I made my way to the self-checkout area and proceeded to scan my items. I had about 20/21 items which included 2 cases of water. Suddenly, one of your employees (a mature woman) came over to me and questioned my scanning the 2 cases of water. She then reached over and proceeded to back me out of the screen I was in to enter bag quantity in order to check to see if I was telling the truth. I said to her "I scanned 2 cases of water." She could then see for herself that I was telling the truth and when I questioned her actions, she told me she needed to see if something needed to be cleared, walked away. I have been going to Big Y for years. I have been to the location in Monroe CT, Bethel CT and now this one since it is the closet one to me. I go there several times a week and I have been a faithful customer for years. (including myself, friends and family). I have never been more insulted by the fact that this employee suspected I would steal from your location and did not apologize for her inappropriate actions. I paid for my groceries and left. Once I arrived home, I called and spoke to a gentleman/manager by the name of Carson*. Speaking with him, he said he would let the manager/supervisor who oversees that area of the store know and apologized for my upsetting experience. I also requested to be contacted because I need to know why this happened to me. As I said to Carson, I certainly hope it was not because of my skin color. I felt like I was targeted because I did not see anyone else getting questioned or treated the way I was. To feel discriminated, insulted and to be treated this way is wrong on so many levels. Until I hear back from someone, I will not be going back there. I do hope no one else ever has to experience what I went through went through. read more

Not a bad place. Some prices on things are more expensive than in other places, and some are cheaper. I wish they had more fresh bread but it will definitely do. read more

Love this store, clean, great food selection and take out. Their party pizza is pretty good, and, for the price, you can't go wrong. Fresh fruits, seafood and meats, great place to shop. read more

First visit to Big Y in New Milford. Didn't cover the whole store as I only needed a few things. One thing that I bought from the pharmacy shelves was omeprazole. When I got home, I found that the pack had previously been opened and two of the tablets had gone. I didn't use them as I didn't like the fact that a drug pack had been interfered with. I have never seen that anywhere in 20 years of using this drug. I will Bring the pack back to the store tomorrow and hope that this does not reflect more broadly on standards in this store read more

Was up in this area visiting a friends parents home. I came along to help deposit bottles and pick up our groceries for the weekend! This place is in a nice shopping center. It has HUGE bottle return machines!! Although it didnt take some obvious brands like polar and diet coke zero. While going up and down aisles the staff was very friendly and helpful!! Store is kept very tidy! While walking down and picking up some meat. Noticed some of the plastic wrap didnt even cover the sides on some?! We brought the packages we did find to. Nearby employee to bring it to the meat counter. Dont want food spoiling or people getting sick!! Loved that at checkout you can also redeem your bottle return $$.. As far as i noticed connecticut doesnt have a rule for amount of $$$ you can cash in while NY does. Also most stores in NY. I believe you have to go to customer service. Where this can become quite annoying! Overall nice place to shop with very reasonable prices and items Hope the meat department is careful when packaging meat! read more

Nice layout, clean, and easy to navigate around the store. We were inquiring where to find the bakery department for a fresh bagel, and the manager Ed took the time to walk us over to the other side of the store to the exact location where the delicious bagels are kept. Thanks, Ed! Compared to Boston they have very cheap prices and this is a very economical place to shop. read more

Me and my wife are new to the area. First off the staff here is very kind and helpful. 2. The place is spotless. 3. The meat is phenomenal. 4. The prices are great and they usually always have a good sale on something. Highly recommend! read more

Disappointed that it is August 27 and I see a young male management staff member, with pony tail with his mask below his nose..it wasn't slipping he chose that. I saw him multiple times in multiple place. Management should set an example. Amazed I saw a customer let in that had no mask at all...I was going to say something but if you don't know but now you are endangering people and the store enforced NOTHING...I'd be wasting my energy. Be aware if you go. Have reached out to Big Y corporate many times since March. No response. Maybe the governor will be interested. read more

Every employee I have had the pleasure to deal with have always ben helpful, cheerful, and so friendly. It's a great place to do your shopping :D read more

I like the Big Y. They have a good selection of everything and their meats and seafood are always fresh. Happy that they have a pharmacy there too. I really wish that they had a proper natural foods section like the Stop n' Shop, though. It's difficult to find those products here. read more

For the greater danbury area to apply what they learn in the newspaper clippings yp.com!

I've been craving your pizza for 5 years ...... I need pizza lol!! Ever since I moved , big y pizza randomly pops into my head. But of course I would have to come visit to get some!.... if they still sell pizza. read more

Don't try to buy a gift card here unless you have 5 forms of ID, the store card in your name and a DNA sample.

Thank you to all of the wonderful staff during these strange times. Big Y has been there all along before and during our world crisis.

MORE than hALF OF THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. The others need to be brought up to speed and either change or leave:-) (Male)Manager that i have spoken with several times is excellent-he listens and he makes the right decisions. and he is always friendly. Some of the priduce men are rude but several are very helpful! Again, the employees need reviewing! The good ones are a blessing then once in a while you get a grouchy one who refuses to help and it gets difficult until you find the manager.... The prices are ridiculously high and I don't shop for much there anymore...wastes money. i find their signature brand foods disgusting in flavor and amount of serving. sorry but it is what it is. I can't find alot of brands and items i want-this has happened way too many times. A smile at the register goes a long way. When i get up to my turn in line and i am greeted with barely a look...i ask "don't you like your job?" and usually get no answer....sigh... Aldi's foods are cleaner, cheaper more fresh. Maybe they have no frills but they deliver what i need much much much better. It's our hard earned money...and Big Y is still trying to fool you at the Entenman's Sale table.....enough grocery store "tricks" please. That nonsense was started long ago and really has no place in the world. A big 2 for 1 sale sign over all of the good stuff then it turns out that the sale is for crappy boring donuts...lol aren't you embarrassed? I guess Mr Heiney wasn't either.... read more

I'm a big fan! The produce is always great and yesterday I bought a marble cake for my son's birthday. I don't usually like cake but this cake was excellent! The icing was delish and the cake was light and flavorful! ALSO, if I'm ever close to another supermarket I make it a point to go to the BIG Y because of a very pleasant male grocery bagger. I don't know his name but he has strawberry blonde hair, black framed glasses and is extremely friendly to every customer. Usually, workers ignore my very talkative 3 year old son, but he spoke to him which made my son very happy. Without fail, he asks every customer (myself included EVERY TIME) if we have found everything we were looking for, he asks how we are doing, and as we are leaving says "Happy (fill in day of the week)". I've even spoken to neighbors who say they make it a point to go to the BIG Y because he's such an enjoyable person to be around. Your products and friendly workers have made my family loyal customers! read more

I like Big Y, just not their prices. It's a nice store, it always looks clean and organized. The employees are friendly. I usually go to Big Y to deposit my bottles and cans and to pick up some final items that I forgot to pickup at Stop and Shop. I wish they had a separate organic and all natural food section, it seems scattered throughout the store. read more

Truly a world class store! A shining star among all others. One of the rare few stores that is both family owned and NOT foreign owned. This is the only place I will buy my beef; it is all 100% Angus, and all is bought from one farm. That truly sets them above all the competition. Variety, sales, and freshness are ever present. hey!, have you tried their store made pizza?, well, if not you should. It beats most all the others I have tried in the neighborhood ! I always find what I am looking for at big y. I award this first class market 5 golden shopping carts out of a possible 5 !! Don't ever leave town guys! read more

Great place to shop! Has most of what we need and always great sales. One thing I do recommend is for the staff to be a little more alert with customers. I get that you're stacking shelves, but if you see someone having trouble looking or reaching for something, speak up and offer help. read more

While on a road trip through CT, my partner and I stopped in this Big Y. I was really impressed with how large it was and how varied the selection. It was also extremely clean, even the restrooms! I was happy to see some brands that I don't always find in the MA Big Y stores. I picked up some delicious cheesy bread and items for the road, and it was very affordable. While busy for a Friday evening, there were plenty of registers open and we had a minimal wait. The cashier was really nice too which is always a bonus. read more

We shop here every Tuesday which is Senior Day. It's a very good super market and has wonderful produce, fish, meat. The deli counter is excellent, as is the cheese department. In fact, every aisle in the store won't disappoint.Francine at the fish counter is AWESOME. Helpful and pleasant, she genuinely likes to serve her customers. Fish is a big item on our shopping list, so having Francine help us choose and enjoy it is wonderful. read more

Very clean store! Bathrooms are nice. The staff is very friendly (mostly) but there's one worker in the Pizza Shop that has a stupid mustache. He's a tool. Makes my experience very uneasy when I'm there. Other than that, great store! read more

As with any supermarket, learn to use the sale flyer and you can do very well shopping here. I visit almost every week and virtually never pay "regular" price for a product. Not hard to do here if you buy things when they are on sale instead of when you need/want them. It costs $20/yr to join their "silver club", which unlocks additional discounts not available to nonmembers- some semi-permanent and others weekly. This is easily worth it if you make Big Y your primary grocery store. I especially like how little club members pay for their delicious hot fried chicken and by-the-slice pizza. The store has a much warmer, inviting feel to it than Stop and shop down the road. Just dont visit around 5 PM. Their Rt. 7 intersection is a nightmare when busy. read more

Have been there twice only and on both the occasions found the staff to be extremely unhelpful, if not out and out rude. Latest, asked about a food item to a worker near the salads, hummus section, who made a cringe face and very rudely replied that he doesn't know as he's on front desk. Never told me whom I could ask. His name was Casey. read more
