Updated Costco Review (2026) Seven years ago I rated this Costco a 5, but in 2026 I'm updating that rating to a 3. The overall experience has declined, especially in the self‑checkout area. They've locked the handheld barcode scanners, so you're forced to lift large or heavy items onto the fixed scanner stand, which makes checkout slower and more inconvenient. I've also had multiple negative interactions with staff -- from employees tossing food carelessly into my cart to a supervisor acting as if she didn't hear me when I tried to address the barcode issue. read more

Stopped in here to get some snacks before my transatlantic cruise. They didn't have as many snack options as my local Costco but that's why I love checking out different locations. What this one had was a nice selection of gluten free items and my favorite GF cereal - Seven Sundays Real Cocoa. I wanted to buy so much but I can only carry on so many bags by myself. Prices were highly than the last time I bought this at a different Costco but so many variables affect price. Helpful employees all around and the lady at the Optical counter gave me a new cloth for my glasses. They closed most of the registers as it was near closing time so checkout lines were long. Will definitely come back here again. read more

As somebody who usually loves Costco, this place is unfortunately a bit disappointing. They do offer a very large variety of items at great wholesale prices. The issue is the lack of organization that makes it really unenjoyable to come here to begin. The parking lot is absolutely a mess. I often have to park very far away. There is no organization and often times it takes me five minutes just to park and another five to walk there and then another five to walk back to my car so it ends up being a very time-consuming trip. Otherwise they often do have everything that I want in stock. The store itself is not too bad and they have a lot of really great options and samples. The checkout process can vary sometimes it is really overwhelming and other times it's pretty organized. They have a great selection and really high quality groceries. This is a a one stop shop type of place. read more

Parking is awful!! Don't try to just go in for a few pens ands get out quick- not happening! You're going to have to MMA fight over a parking spot! Parking at this location is not for the faint of heart! Once you get inside- it's the regular run of the mill Costco, but, per Miami operandum, Spanish speaking may be necessary. This is not my favorite Costco location. read more

Let's talk about it. Food, that is. And in this economy? Costco food court is the real MVP. $1.50 for a hot dog and a soda? $1.99 for a greasy-but-glorious slice of pepperoni? That's not a meal, that's a survival strategy. Is the hot dog bun too big? Yes. Is the pizza a little oily? Also yes. Do I care? Absolutely not. Value like this deserves a standing ovation--and maybe a few napkins. read more

Costco locations throughout South Florida are generally similar, but this one, off Flagler and 107th Ave, seems to be one of the busiest I've visited lately. In comparison, it appears larger than other locations, though that could be due to its setting. Situated in the heart of Sweetwater, an area with a high concentration of large multi-family apartments and condos, the sheer number of shoppers we encountered on a late Saturday afternoon was understandable. Overall, our experience was pleasant. The warehouse was clean, well-organized, and well-stocked, with plenty of items on sale. It almost made me wish I had grabbed a shopping cart to take advantage of the deals, but I was only there to buy a gift card. Highly recommend this location! read more

OSTCO 5 stars! Outstanding appliance buying and delivery experience at Costco! I've been a Costco member for years and never bought major appliances there before. I have purchased a LG washer/dryer set in 2006 that lasted us until to day with out one repaired or a maintenance agreement. Also a full Samsung kitchen suite in 2022 from Home Depot. When our 10-year-old LG washer finally died and the dryer started acting up, repair quotes were ridiculous--just to diagnose the problem was $150-$400 (with the fee applied only if they could fix it). No thanks! I shopped around online and Costco had the clear best deal on the exact Maytag washer/dryer pair we wanted, plus an extra $100 off. Ordered Sunday night, and the website promised delivery by Wednesday. Sure enough, everything stayed on track--I even got a text with a 1:30-2:30 window, then a call Wednesday morning saying they were running early and could arrive at 12:00 if that worked. Perfect! The three-man crew showed up right on time, professionally removed the old units, and gave my wife and me plenty of time (20-30 minutes) to clean out 20 years of lint and junk. They installed everything flawlessly, tested both machines, and walked us through registering the warranty via text. True gentlemen the whole time--courteous, careful, and efficient. The new Maytag set works beautifully, and the entire process from ordering to installation was completely stress-free. Way better than my recent stories from family and friends experience. Costco just made it easy, affordable, and pleasant. Highly recommend them for big-ticket appliances! Thank you, Costco! read more

NOT BETTER OPTION THAN COSTCO WHILE BUYING WHOLESALE!! Service - 4 Ambience - 4.5 Selection - 5 In my opinion Costco beats up the rest when it comes to most of bulk shopping. Of course, you can't buy everything in bulk, that's not smart, but for those items that make sense in your household (varies from household to household based on consumption patterns, number of family members, etc), you will end up with savings, that's for sure. In addition to the money you are saving, Costco stands out for other great add-ons, such as their no-questions-asked return policy(guaranteed return within 90 days), extended manufacturer warranty (additional year), great quality products, outstanding food court options, etc. Any Costco store could get overly packed during the weekends, I personally avoid it during these days. It's a struggle from finding parking to checkout the items in your shopping cart. I highly recommend you come in a weekday in the mornings or after 5-6 pm, you will find a decent traffic but manageable. As we are transitioning into technology more and more, my recommendation to either this or any other Costco store is to set up digital directories around the store. Not all stores have the same configuration, often times products are placed at odd locations, etc. Having a directory or at least something could be done in the app to make the experience smoother. I remember back in the days when you could find Costco employees walking around and you could ask. That's non-existing these days. No doubt their service used to be much better and they could do better to improve it. My favorite products from here are wines (so many options), cheeses, cleaning and home products, supplements, Greek yogurt (my favorite), pet food, chicken. Thanks Costco, for 17 years of great experiences. read more

Costco is one of those places that makes me feel like a fully-fledged adult. Growing up, it was a spot my dad absolutely loved, and now that I have my own membership, I completely get it. There's just something so satisfying about stocking up on long-lasting goods at unbeatable prices. To be honest, Costco never disappoints. It's the ultimate destination for amazing deals on high-quality products. I always make a point to grab grass-fed meats, organic chicken, and plenty of healthy treats while I'm there. Their selection is incredible, and you can truly find everything you need--whether it's snacks, wine, meat, Tupperware, or even hair products. I once read a review that said, "Good ol' Costco--what's not to love?" and honestly, I couldn't agree more. read more

Costco is America's finest accomplishment & it's important that the people know this. I never leave my house without my membership card but luckily the app has an electronic one on it for those days I mixup my purse. Everything is better at Costco. I don't even find Kirkland to be a signature; I think it's an autograph. Yeah, the parking is a mission but so is everything else. A lot of items can be ordered through the app and with a minimum order amount they'll even throw in free shipping. And they say chivalry is dead..hah! I live alone in a small townhouse so I tend to buy more of the non-perishables versus the items with a limited shelf life. There is very few items I can't find here and so for that reason, I'm a fan forever..plus the savings really kick it up a notch. Whether it's a TV, shampoo, or a gazebo; you can get it here with the best warranty and customer service. A lot of people don't realize that they also sell cars which is a major flex. There's no better value anywhere else, I guarantee it. It's always a deal coming here. read more

I'm sure not many people are going to take recommendations on the best Costco to visit for your grocery shopping needs but for those that do, this one is certainly not the one for you. The staff is regularly nice and helpful but it is the amount of traffic, both foot and vehicular, that drives me insane. Miami traffic is terrible as well all know but there have been many times I've chosen to go to another Costco much further from my home than stop by this one. There is a vast population in the area and for that reason in this shopping center, there is a NEED for an additional Costco to be opened up either more to the east of west of this one. Even having 2020 Covid lines outside the store would assist in deterring so many people to stop by and add to the hectic mess that is both inside and outside the store. I would GLADLY wait if that meant less people on top of one another in and out of this store. As far as the inside goes, there are the standard restrooms and both self-checkout and regular lanes. The staff in charge of the samples do their best and that should be recognized. Some of the aisles can be dirty and I've noticed debris and other trash from time to time but that is due to the intelligence and manners of certain members of our society. In closing, I feel we need an indoor capacity level or new store location close to this specific Costco. read more

This whole review is about the parking.no matter what time you come here the parking is always a mission that Costco is next to a shopping mall that they are trying to revive. They just got a couple of new stores recently, but it mostly shares it parking spots between Home Depot and Costco, and you're gonna have to practice some patients to get a spot and be able to go shopping. read more

This store the parking lot is horrible, employees very rude. I am member 10+ years. this store is the closest to my house. I have been to two other store in Miami that are bigger. Last year I went to a store in Baltimore, 1000 % better, parking space and personnel. Unfortunately decide to change my membership to Sam's Club about same distance or BJ's. Obs.: My wife and I were treated very rudely because of an incident. The way the manager approached us was with a lack of manners and rudeness that I have never seen before. read more

This is an insanely busy Costco! Always super packed, hard to park/ get out of the parking lot and there are always soooo many shoppers! It is a tiring feat to go shopping here and to be honest I wish Miami had more Costco locations to decompress this location. read more

I couldn't find anyone to help me get an iPad. I am going to target to buy it there instead.

It is what it is, which is a great assortment of items at occasional good prices. I have to say that their steak prices have gone way up, particularly the filet mignon, ribeye, churrasco and the NY steaks. I have stayed away from those items for that reason. I give Costco a pass on those because they offer the Rotisserie chicken for $5.00 and their unbeatable Hot Dog and Soda Combo for $1.50, which is a testament than when you appreciate your customers and you know they are struggling on a high price economy, you demonstrate loyalty by offering some good deals. Thanks to Costco for demonstrating leadership on that area. read more

If you have several mouths to feed in your house then odds are you have or know someone that has a Costco membership. Regardless of which day or what hour parking is hectic. You are guaranteed to spend at least two hours shopping and even if the intent is to buy one thing you will walk out with a cartful (which might entail just two gallon buckets of ketchup #BecauseCostco). Regardless this Costco is always busy. Staff for the most part are friendly. Customer service is usually quick and they almost always have what I'm looking for outside of seasonal items. Their food court is usually on point. They crank you in and out as they should. $1.50 hot dog and soda combo always hits the spot especially as you question how a quick trip turned into $400. But hey, that's Costco! read more

The store located at Flagler Street, Miami FL store , The membership manger Cristian should be terminated form management position. Mr. Cristian does not have a quality personality to be a manger. I bought and item a few months ago. The item was on sale $65 off. I was told that I could return the item and buy the same one so I can get the discount. But Cristian aid that he will not approve it, and he told me that he will write commend in my membership not to accept returns form me anymore. What kind of management do something like this? Costco .Cristian was very nasty and screening loud so everyone can hear him to show that he is the boss. the other mangers in that store they great. But Cristian make the store look bad. read more

If you go on the weekend, prepare to take a couple hours. The store and parking lots are exceptionally crowded. Bumper-to-bumper carts in every aisle. The food court always has a huge crowd and very limited seating, although the staff works super quickly to get orders out so you're usually not waiting too long. Honestly, they might want to consider having limited entry times in the store to help mitigate the crowds and ease up the stress for the staff, especially in the food court. Otherwise, it's a pretty clean and well-maintained facility with friendly staff. And can never go wrong with the Costco staples like their $4.99 roasted chicken and $1.50 hot dog! read more

The place to go for large, bulk, and good food. Everyone else in Miami knows this. It will get packed. Prepare yourelf mentally and physically. My recommendation is to get there early around opening time - 10am or close to closing time. There's everything from good meat, seafood, produce, household supplies. It's good, you may spend more than what you intend, but it is all good stuff. Parking is PACKED. There may be some overflow in the Home Depot next to it. You can see the ocean of cars if you drive past on the Palmetto Expressway heading south. Take the W. Flagler exit to get to Costco quickly. Happy to see that the free food samples are back. Their frozen section is good too. Red meat is a bit pricy, their steak prices are a little too high in my opinion, though pork and ribs are better priced. read more

Reviewing the cafeteria from Costco - i truly don't know how they make the hot dogs taste so great. Is it the bread? Is it the meat? Idk what it is but I love it and them. The prices don't change and since they started doing automated orders at the kiosks the service is just fantastic (not that it ever was bad). read more

This is my local Costco in South Florida--I frequent it about once a month. It is clean, well-maintained, and very well stocked. The customer service has always been very kind and helpful with my returns and questions. The food sampling is back and there are always multiple options! The cafeteria produces the classics in a timely manner and I have always enjoyed all items without fault. The new self-checkout lanes are a great addition to this store. There is also a liquor section right outside the main entrance. read more

Good ol' Costco. I mean, what is there NOT to love?! I love going to Costco for food, household items, and beauty products. Recently, it's been my go-to for gas too (their prices are significantly cheaper than most gas stations). The yearly membership fee is worthwhile. There are so many great and unique buys Costco has to offer. read more

I worked the for 28 years. Costco is the Gold standard for the wholesale industry. It's a win, win for everyone involved. The suppliers move their inventories, the employees are extremely well compensated, and ultimately the members (consumers) benefit from the arrangement by obtaining high quality products at a discount. Everybody wins. read more

This Costco has a nice layout and it's generally easy to find what we're looking for. This location always seems to be well-stocked no matter how busy it gets here. And in my experience, this place is always packed. Costco doesn't always have the cheapest prices for some items when compared to other clubs like Sam's Club, but Costco has such a wide selection of health-conscious foods such as organic, hormone free, non-GMO, etc. that actually taste good. There always seems to be something new and interesting here food-wise. Not to mention the endless stations of food samples throughout the club. Some items we find in bulk (like chicken breast) not only save us money, but are packaged in a way that doesn't require us to have to break them down into smaller bags in order to freeze them. It's very convenient. What's also convenient is that some employees are hired to assist at checkout to unpack our cart. The fresh baked Costco pizza is what I also look forward to. You can buy a whole pizza to go and it tastes very good. I also like the chicken bake and the Italian sausage. The bottles of water for $0.25 at the vending machine are basically free. This Costco location also has a gas station with very cheap gas prices. read more

Hey, being mentioned in a movie that alternates between a parity in a documentary of our society you know you have something good going. I was able to get a decent amount of food for a party that my girlfriend and I were hosting. Anything from liquor and cheese trays to macaroons & even prepared food that I could take home for my mom to eat I was able to get it. Their stuffed peppers with ground beef and rice are delicious as well. Of course, both for the party and for home I took a couple of trays of the little costco turkey sandwiches. I don't know what they put in them other than pure deliciousness. When Idiocracy joked about a law degree & time machine, it is because yes you can find pretty much anything that makes a modern society comfortable. On the non-food side, I was able to purchase doggy wipes for Luna & even a new pair of Fila sneakers for myself. Of course, you have to try the free food samples along the aisles! My only complaint is that the lines, whether the cash registers or member services can be too long. The self checkout definitely helps, and member services should have a few more functions self-service through online. read more

Costco is always an adventure. It's full of surprises, but you can always count on your staples like salmon, stuffed salmon with crab meat, steaks, and the avocado salsa dip, which is absolutely delicious. Every visit, I find something new, and I often end up buying extra items that I didn't plan on but realize I need--they always come in handy. The customer service here is great, and I love that I often run into someone I know. This Costco is definitely one of my favorite places to shop read more

Honestly this is the worst of about 10 different Costco I've been too. This location is wayyy to crowded. The parking is a complete atrocity in the entire mall. There is not close to enough parking. If you don't get there super early the lines are really bad. Unfortunately this is the closest one to my house so I only shop online now rather then go here. read more
