Came with a friend and some contacts of his. Definitely crowded but no complaints here since I'm used to going to the warehouse clubs and those are the order of the day. Not sure I'd make a special trip here but it's in Jersey and if you have a car it might be better than one in NYC. read more

Far and away the busiest Costco I've ever seen. Parking is a slugfest. There are never enough open registers for checkout. The place is absolutely jam packed. The liquor store is a blessing and a curse. If you're going just for that, it's pretty convenient. If you're going to do a store run and a liquor run you have to check out at two separate locations. Not so convenient. They do have a gas station that is cheaper than other stations. However there is often a long wait. I think I'd rather pay an extra $1-2 when I fill up rather than waste hours of my life on this line. Even the roads in and out can be super congested. If it weren't for the insane crowds, this place has just as much if not more to offer than most other Costcos in the area. It's just too congested for me. read more

Yay Costco! What's NOT to like about Costco? There's everything in bulk, everything's cheaper than individually at other places, and everything's well organized and easy to find. Plus, free samples! It's great. Easy to find things I needed, it's pretty much like every other Costco. And there's a gas station! read more

Yes, it's way too crowded with rude people and a bit far of a drive from Jersey City. But they have stuff you just can't get anywhere else. Or stuff that is priced way better than anywhere else. Favorite items include: Dried mango pieces, wild caught salmon, Organic tortilla chips, box of apple-pears, 5-lb bag of organic carrots (for my husband's juicer), spinach artichoke dip and Manchego cheese. All of the Costco brand Kirkland Farms stuff is really good. Also a good place to go for a big electronics purchase! read more

I can't go back to Costco in Clifton NJ because one cashier's attitude was unacceptable he throwing my items and rushing me to getting out cashier's line! The only thing I can think of is Godly wisdom let go and let God handle this situation! Be careful how you treat people God don't like ugly behavior!! read more

The logistics to get into the parking lot and the gas station of this specific Costco location are perplexing. I suppose we can blame it on poor design of the exterior and interior of the store. Parking is a nightmare, forget trying to access the gas station the lines are ridiculous. I wanted to turn around and leave. I have to say that i have visited costco stores in Long Island, NYC, Florida, Georgia and NJ and i would have to rate the design of ths store as very poor. When i got in to the store passed the entrance where the jewelry is located, i felt loss. The staff that handles the tasting carts around the store was not engaging and did a very poor job at making sure the sample trays were refilled. Almost every sampling station had a line and people were waiting on samples to be available. If i lived in the area and this was my local costco, i would have ceased and revoked my membership years ago. I am proud to say that i am a costco member for at least 15 yrs. Thankfully, i have seen and traveled around the east coast to find exceptional costco stores with top notch service, ample parking and better situated parking than this store. I actually feel sorry for those that have to come to this store. Anyways, i did my shopping and $251 later I said, i am not ever coming back here. I did notice items that were not available at my local costco in Queens / Long island area so that was a plus. -1 star for parking lot and location entrance from mall to store. - 2 stars for lack of engaging staff, plenty of empty sample stations with staff that was not friendly or engaging about the product they were selling. -1 Gas station line was out of thofparking lot and around the corner. People were even making turns into a Do Not Enter Sign road to cheat getting into the line and none of the staff did anything to fix it. Simpl put this is the worst representation of a costco store I have ever seen. Not to worry, i wont cancel my membership but i will not come back here ever again! read more

Wholesale. Has both a liquor store, gas station and tire center at this location. Offers great selection, love eating at the food court. This location gets super busy on the weekends, try coming on a weekday if you can. Last time I came on a Tuesday morning and got here before it even opened and there was over 20 people standing outside waiting for them to open the doors. read more

Costco has a great business and product but this location is one of my least favorites. My largest complaint is with regards to the pharmacy, which on multiple occasions communicated the incorrect day requiring an additional trip. The latest occasion they called two days in a row saying that they hadn't received the prescription, this after promising that it would arrive the next day. The store itself is clean and has all the typical Costco items. Most of the staff are quite busy and are friendly for the most part. As many other people have stated this is one of the busiest Costco locations I have ever visited and parking is horrendous. Flooded with people who don't know how to walk or drive a shopping cart, it seems like you are constantly dodging people almost running into you or having to move around the ones who walk at a snails pace and stand in the middle of a wide isle. If you love driving in New Jersey then this is the place for you! read more

For an annual $50 membership fee, I really make sure that I get my money's worth. I save $100s each year by shopping at Costco, especially when I'm hosting festivities. My family & I especially love their wild caught salmon, baguettes, pre-packaged salads, organic chicken, rotisserie chicken and rolled turkey wraps. There are some non-food items that we purchase from here too, but that's very far & few in between. I love their sample stands (aka "senior buffet"). It's odd that I never actually end up purchasing these items, but I LOVE doing my rounds sampling the goods while happily pushing my shopping cart. On the days when I still have room in my stomach after paying for my purchases, I then venture on to the food court area where I will take advantage of their $1.50 deal (gets you a HUGE hot dog and soft drink). The only con I can think of is the crowded parking lot on weekends. Other than that, I LOVE you, Costco. read more

Has a decent selection of stuff in general, but the lines can be awful. They have the cheapest gas in the area (sorry only AMEX is accepted - but you don't need a Costco card to get the gas), which also means that their lines are the most busy. They are currently going through some renovations, and have expanded their selection of pre-made food products. You can get some great discounts on products, but some things are not any cheaper than regular stores, and you have to buy a lot more of it. Just remember to buy with a grain of salt. Also, the store is pretty active about recruiting you to sign up for their "Executive member" program... 2% cash back on all purchases, but for a yearly membership cost of $110 instead of $55. read more

The prices have gotten better. Strawberry prices are not Costcos fault for going up. This store is just like other Costco's prices. Service is getting better at this location. They have more cashiers now read more

Great products, amazing prices, the only thing is that the lines are super long but it goes fast. I will be coming back for sure.

The worst and racist customer service. They refused to return my membership and calling me abusing the system while the guy in front of me having no problem returning a bag of rotten bananas. Are you kidding me? Right behind on the wall, it says you can return your membership any time of the year. Ridiculous customer service. read more

I am at the Costco tire center and I have encountered 2 very rude people What happened with good customer service ? What happened with just plain manners? I am an elderly person and it makes me sad that people could behave that way, do they have mothers or grandmothers so they treat them badly One thing I will tell you never again I will get tires from them I will rather pay more but get treated better read more

I love Costco and if you come to this store right when they open I would get it 5 stars but the reality is I rarely have the opportunity to come at that time. My biggest issue is with the traffic. The parking lot is poorly set up and the gas station is in the worst possible place. It should have been built close to the road instead of breaking up the parking lot. Also, the road to get in and out is horrible. There should be a one lane road to get in then another one lane road near the New York Sports Club to get out. That would help out with the traffic issue. read more

I have been a member of Costco and come to this location for many many years. Everything is fine, except a staff that I have encountered with many times at food court is a tragedy. I am not a person who likes to write out reviews, but this white old woman (picture below) is intolerable, worst worst staff I have ever encountered with. The attitude that she is giving me all the time is like she's a boss or something, and telling me what to do when I wait on the line. I have been ordering here for countless times and i never never have any issue with my orders when someone else takes my order. But it comes to you, you are the one who made the wrong food for me, but refused to change the right food for me and saying it's my problem?? are you serious? This kind of uneducated and arrogant staff should get fired!!! Costco should not hire such a rudeness to treat their customers like that! Does she think she can treat customer like that because she is white? stop your racial discrimination! Be aware of this woman! A person to avoid at all costs! read more

Very disappointed been trying to make an appointment with the optical department or the eye doctor I leave voice messages to get back to me for an appointment i get no calls back. I cannot believe the Dr. doesnt have an assistant to take calls. This is the reason i give it a one star. read more

Great store. We get our $$ back in the food samples they have. However we thought it was a great deal for size 4 huggies. Than we found out for a penny more we get more diapers at walmart. Still love the bulk buys with their coupons. read more

This is our local Costco so we are here quite often. Its a great place to stock up on household and pantry essentials for the family. The gas station has the best gas prices so of course there is always a long line to fill up. I just wish it had later hours. read more

I don't think the deals at this store justified the cost of membership. And I had to wait nearly 20 minutes in line just to purchase a few items. They need an express line. read more

My husband and I have been loyal customers of Costco for years and love the Clifton, NJ staff. Everyone is friendly, professional and helpful. Which makes it a wonderful shopping experience. Last week (Oct.15), after shopping, we notice we had a flat tire. I called AAA motor club, who told us it would take 40 minutes. We waited. Thank God we had our Costco Cold Food bags to put meats and other cold item in 40 minutes passed. 2 Costco employees, Dorian Harris and Kevin Martinez notice us and asked if we needed help (10:40p). We show them the tire and what aaa said. They offered to help us. They helped us take purchased items out the trunk, remove spare tire and began to work on changing the tire. Kevin went to his car and go a tool to speed up the process. Once they changed the tire, they neatly returnd all parts and flat tire to proper place in trunk, returned all items back. We were relieved and grateful. Another example of the great workers at Costco. They care. I love you COSTCO!! read more

Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

See all

The store itself is not terribly bad, just very crowded especially weekends. The OPTICAL department : atrocious. The optometrist and staff is excellent, but so sad you have to deal with rude, disinterested optical staff members. I do believe they all need glasses because you can stand there, staring at them and they ignore you completely. I refuse to do more business with them for contacts or glasses. I will go elsewhere. read more

My friend, who is a member, drove me to this Costco and it was a nice diversion to get away from NYC for a change. I have never been to a Costco before and yes it is crowded and the check out lines seem endless. But all in all I think it is a great place. Everything comes in supersize quantity but the prices are better than my local markets in NYC and that is important to me now. I'm certainly not in the market for a new TV but I noticed that they give an extra year warrantee for free. Last time I bought one I paid alot for extended service. Overall I thought it was a great place to save money and if there was one near me I would become a member. read more

Great place to shop, and the $3.99 grilled chicken salad at the food court is AWESOME - so fresh and delicious! One of the OTB cashiers has an attitude, and one of the ghetto customers tried to pick a fight, but mostly everyone there is nice. read more

One of the cleanest stores ive ever seen and all the employees were very nice..Foodcourt was also very well managed and maintained w/ plenty of different food choices and the employee behind the counter , i believe his name was Pedro, was very friendly and helpful.. I'll definitely be shopping at this location more often! read more

This is a good Costco on the inside, but on the outside its nuts. Very hard to find parking.

Everything you expect in a Costco but this location has a gas station that is about 60 cents cheaper to the gallon compared to NYC. You usually have to wait in line to get your gas filled because everyone knows its a bargain. Great customer service at this location. read more

It is Costco, so great place to get many items. Since I am a conscious eater and avoid animal based products I eat lots of vegetables and the vegetables here are good quality and cheap if you are a three salad a day type like me. The lines are long, but move quickly. Parking is awful, but that is how all Costcos are. The employees are helpful. read more

I actually like this Costco compared to the one I used to go to in Brooklyn. I love how the entire store is on one main floor. The one in Brooklyn had two floors, which was totally inconvenient for customers pushing their one ton carts around. I'm giving this place only 3 stars because of their FOOD SERVICE! Yes, their food service sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were short on staff so only one cashier guy was taking orders. I didn't know they only took cash so I called my boyfriend over quickly to give me cash...and this cashier guy tells me, " ...I don't have time for this...miss you have to go to another line to pay then." I'M Like...I GOT THE CASH YOU NEED TO RELAX.....and he actually said some shit back and im like wow HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. They need to check that little boy cashier. Not my fault he hates his life. read more

Extremely popular location that offers gas and is close to another Rt 3 Clifton plaza. Great options and always deals too good to pass up.

Costco has the best hot dogs for some reason. Even Julia Child knew it (fact, google it!). Plus it comes with a drink and there are chopped onions at the sidebar. Amazing. read more

Terribly slow service for tires and appointments are only for weekdays. It has taken me six hours to replace my tires when they said it would only be two. They have moved another car in front of me because it is one of the techs friend and then tried to lie to my face about it. How I miss Discount Tire in the NE! read more

I LOVE COSTCO. and I used to love going to this Costco in Clifton. Now I would definitely only go to their Wayne location. Everybody is a lot nicer, more relaxed in Wayne. In Clifton, not only they're rude in person, they're also rude on the phone. At the return line, when I asked for a receipt, a rep with long nail said "You're getting cash so there is no receipt." But I've alwasy gotten a receipt regardless. I should've asked for a manager but I didn't think about it at that moment. Dang it!! Couple weeks after that, I called to ask for lost-and-found. I wasn't expecting to find the item anyways so not finding it wasn't the big issue. The issue was their customer service (again). After I described the item, I was put on hold for 15 minutes while she's "looking for it." Okay, no problem, but when she came back and said she didn't see it, I tried to describe the item a little better, and got a loud "There's NOTHING in the lost-and-found box," she said. Seriously??? Did it really took you 15 minutes to look for something in an EMPTY box? read more

Very helpful staff, specifically in the meat department, a Mr. Alexis was very helpful and polite. Will return just because of him.

Love shopping at Costco, majority of employees are polite and helpful, lines are usually long during weekends but week days you spend less then 5 minutes in line to pay. read more

This review is for the tire center. I came in on a Monday early afternoon. I waited in line for 20 minutes without moving. There were 6 people in line and multiple callers. They only had person, who can't possibly handle the volume working. Also, each person I saw helped in person and by phone couldn't be helped because of the backup or system. I finally left, not willing to waste more time read more

The only negative thing that could be said about this costco is that the parking lot can be hell on Earth. Other than that little blemish this is my favorite costco, far superior to the one in Teterboro, where people are oblivious on how to move with a shopping cart. read more

2 tips for the management of the Clifton, NJ Costco: 1. At the entrance to your warehouse, you have an employee who is tasked with checking to see if entering customers have their membership cards. If such an employee is going to engage in lengthy, idle conversations with people at that same entrance, that employee should have the common courtesy and brainpower to alert such people to NOT block the entrance of other customers who are there to shop and wish to make their way into your facility. It's so simple to do, folks. You want to avoid a potential confrontation here, especially with the congestion that often characterizes this Costco... and with that congestion comes differing temperaments and patience levels. 2. Upon exiting the warehouse: If you are going to have TWO employees checking customers' receipts, then you should train these employees to POLITELY guide exiting customers into forming two exit lines out (or one line for each employee checking receipts). Do not wait for a confrontation to occur between an employee and customer, because it is not a customer's job to train your employees on how to perform a job effectively. Again, high customer volume = different tolerances for certain things. Other Costco's handle these items correctly, so why does the Clifton, NJ Costco struggle with these basic items? Both tips above are the result of our visit to the Clifton, NJ Costco on Thurs. Oct. 13, 2016 during the 7-8pm timeframe. You're welcome. read more

It's like any other Costco, good prices on bulk items! .. but I like this place for the gas prices, significantly lower than anywhere else in the area. Filled up today for 3.20 regular while the Exxon 100 yards away was 3.54 regular The parking is horrendous, it gets extremely crowded midday until close. read more

Today I experienced management at its worst... I had a very bad experience at the Costco in Clifton. I have many relatives and friends that are members at Clifton Costco.. So I was thinking about becoming a member... But just for today I wanted to do a courtesy buy because I am not a member. So ,Rob Mengas, approached me while i was walking ready to purchase some products... he said "May I help u" I explained that I wasn't a member yet but I will be... So I asked Rob Mengas if I can make a courtesy buy just for today... and that i would become a member soon. Without any hesitation he said " No!! you are not a member." I asked please this one time "He said Nope you are not a member" with an aggressive voice. Talk about poor customer service. he seemed to be confrontational and aggressive. A little earlier I needed a tire at the Tire center.. I had asked the same question to, Mike Wojick, as far as making a courtesy buy.. "He was very respectful and said No problem.. I'll help you but make sure you become a member..." Rob was respectful and Nice. Point is that, Rob Mengas, the assistant Manager over there was rude, aggressive and displayed horrible customer service unlike his counterpart Matt Wojick. So now I won't become a member and I will tell all my friends and family to discontinue their memberships and go to BJ's where I just joined a little while ago. Because of Rob Mengas, the assistant general manager, the Costco in Clifton will lose about 40-80 memberships. I work as a general manager in the fitness business and I also work in the music industry with many stars. They will all know how I was treated by Rob Mengas, and know to not do any business at the Costco in Clifton!! I told Rob that I knew, GM Mike freeman, and that one time Mike helped me and Rob said "I don't care about Mike Freeman, I'm the manager and boss today!! Mike left a little while ago he stated with an attitude. So to everyone who reads this, be careful with Assistant general manager, Rob menages. He is rude and does not display any great customer service skills!! On the other hand I recommend to all my family and friends that if you need any help with Tires or car service.. Visit Matt Wojick and Matt Wojick not only will help but show you great customer service. I'm also reporting, Rob Mengas to the better business bereau. read more
