They where cashing in a check I'd assume whoever was working on #10 around 12:50 and took forever to do the line was getting long and it looked like people where getting mad I was in a rush and it put me behind in time I should've gone to a different location read more

I get it, customer service sucks. Trust me, I know how it is. A lot of the time, it's the customer who is the nut job! But when you're purposely a rude employee, that's not cool. One of the cashiers was a total ass. Never coming back. Plus the lines are always long. read more

Great attitude at the counter, i asked to find an item he run to the shelf brought the the item even though people were piled up by him i really appreciate his service... thank you read more

They have great prices but i have gotten several items that were expired or very close to expiration. Also the employees homies like to hang out and chat it up with them while they are working. One was even asking his girlfriend for money while she was ringing me up. And forget about the lines. You will be in line forever because they only have 1 cashier open at a time. the self check out line is ridiculously long and no one knows how to use the dam self check out which makes the lines lag even more. But with one cashier open i dont blame them for trying. They should just throw this whole foodmaxx away. I've been to other locations and they arent as bad. read more

First and foremost, reasonable prices considering the cost of groceries at other supermarkets. Parking is sometimes a challenge although there's a decent sized lot. In spite of the the reasonable prices and its close proximity to my house, I rarely come here. Why? Because THE LINES ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!! Sometimes you can get in and out with a strategically timed visit and by going through the self pay line. This morning, however, even the self checkout line was backed up and took forever with 3 of the 5 machines down. (Sigh.) read more

These poor people haven't had a raise in several years, apparently, so I'll forgive an awful lot as far as the poor customer service is concerned. As for consistently getting home to discover frozen items completely thawed and at room temperature. Gross! Other than that it's what you should expect in Hayward. Usually looks like they just ran a full contact shopping spree. Raw meat and chicken ripped from it's package and flung across the entire department. I'm really growing tired of just about every option in the area. GROW FOOD! NOT LAWNS! read more

They say that certain native american indian tribes would gauge their own greatness by the strength , intelligence and ferocity of their enemies.Well , i went shopping at foodmaxx today and yes, he was there up on his lofty perch, but there was no animosity in his eyes, no squawking laughter from his feathered posse only that let bygones be bygones look that only two warriors can share.Instantly, all the anticipation, all the pent up rage was now gone. I could buy my toilet paper, cat food, tampax, wait, i'm a dude, beer in peace with no fear from terror from above, and yet somehow i felt empty inside.When Alexander saw the width and breadth of the world he had captured he wept for there were no new worlds to conquer. To my former avian adversary, i salute you.Fin. read more

Why does this place say there open till 1am and they always close around 11pm or 1130? Lol

FoodMaxx is one giant list of pros and cons to me. Pro: Food and spices that are hard to find elsewhere. They routinely have tamarind, rice sticks, a wide variety of fish sauces, and other items I just can't find outside of a ranch 99 or other specialty store. Con: The place is just ratty to be in. All the signs that say what's in each aisle have either fallen off or are hanging by a thread. Is that really that hard to fix? Pro: 24 hour convenience. It's really hard to argue with that. No matter what time of the day or night, I can pop in and get anything I need. Con: But you don't every really pop in to FoodMaxx. The lines at the checkout are long and the front door presents you with an almost Ikea-like maze forcing you to weave along the entire perimeter of the store before you can access all of the aisles. Sketchy. Though I will say the lines lend to be very short and prompt in the mornings, but heaven help you if you want groceries after 2pm. Pro: It's cheap. There are always sales and deals and even if there aren't, you can usually come out without your pocketbook hurting much at all. Con: I think some of the reason stuff is cheap is because it doesn't turn over all that much. You really have to make sure you check the expiration dates before buying anything. On some rare occasions, I've even seen items on the shelf that already were expired. Gross. So that's the bulk of my pro-con list. In the end, I give the place three stars because there's just as much good with the place as wrong with it. I don't think I'd go here if it wasn't the closest grocery store to my house, but since it is, I really don't have much of a problem with coming back. read more

I just called because I was in the neighborhood and my daughter needed to get supplies for cooking cupcakes for the class, some guy very rudely answered and said they're not open 24 hours anymore. Horrible! read more

Okay, here is the break down. Prices: awesome!!! Check out lines: LONG! Is it worth it? Depends on the time of the day you go. If there are no lines, then this is definitely a great place for your daily grocery shopping trips. They also take coupons so overall a great deal. read more

Haven't been to this location since I moved to Newark but it is still a pretty good location. There's plenty of parking and the store is not crowded or messy. I didn't need any help with anything but it's always comforting to see employees walking around the store just in case. They only had two registers open and they had the carts locked up which wasn't very nice. read more

The Chucke E Cheese of food stores. Ghetto, crowded, inconsiderate people... Poorly paid unhappy employees. Bad parking area... Trashy... And why do people bring their entire family to the store like its a damn vacation. Long lines for days... Will pay extra to not deal with this dump. read more

I called here the other day to ask a valid question and maybe I'm wrong? But it's possible that I was talking to a parrot because the question that I asked was basically repeated over and over and no actual information ever given...Good luck with that read more

I came in town from the East Coast not knowing where I was going thank God for GPS. I found this food Maxx right by the hotel and was looking forward to getting some food for my room because I will be staying in Hayward California for the next 44 days. I finally figured out what I needed for the room which only has a microwave and a little teeny refrigerator. I made my way to the front of the store to check out stepped in a spill on the floor and there was only one cash register open one self check out open in about 30 people in each line. People were complaining and the management and people did not seem to care. I stood in line for about 20 minutes and finally just gave up and left my cart and left The store. I will never go back to a food max bad experience read more

Eternally long lines, 4 self checkout stands but only 2 work. If it wasnt for the very low prices here, I would definitely go somewhere else but the problem is by the time you get your milk out the fridge, the long wait causes it to spoil before you can make it out of the store. read more

The most ghetto grocery store I've been to. Super crowded, people bring their entire family to the grocery store, there's always huge boxes in the middle of aisles, and employees rolling around on the tractors (or whatever you call them) throughout the store. Ridiculously long lines, and slow employees. Terrible parking! There's always tons of people no matter what time of day. Only reason I go here is because of the cheap prices and its around the corner from where I stay. When I have time, I go to Safeway instead. read more

Horrible I'm down the street from them but I visited the second nearest food max and way cleaner no lines at all.. all registers open and everything clean and organized read more

I hate this parking lot. It's horrible. First off, the spots are teeeeny tinnnnyyy that my compact car has trouble. Second, lighting is very dim. Third, people pop out behind your car like Jack in the boxes. You know to expect it, but it scares the shit out of you each time. read more

Wow great place for buying anything you like with good and fair prices with good quality but the only thing that you have to stay for long lines for long wait read more

im only doing a review because of one of the employees who works there. His name is Morgan Durant and i must say he really works his ass off and really gets the job done! he is honestly one hard working kid, and awesome! he helped me push my cart and find the items i need in a snap! i give him a thousand stars if i could. foodmaxx company give him a raise!!! read more

Yeah if you want to get cheap food like you are in another state this is the place to come this is exactly the same as Lucky's which is the same owner of foodmaxx. You want cheap groceries come here for sure! read more

I've been using Foodmaxx since 2008. We go every Friday night for a movie and their fresh cookies. Tonight I found rat poopies on my cookies. The first cookie out of the container was contaminated, so I just threw away the whole thing. I'm devastated. For years I weathered the crazy lines, lack of carts, homeless people, no parking, and traffic for their baked goods and produce. Now I have to find a new cookie supply. :( I'm leaving you FoodMaxx. For good. read more

The cashier who helped me named Shalini was so rude and spoke to me in a bitchy tone as if she hates her job! This place has the WORST customer service! And always has long lines! read more

They have great deals, and it is near my house, these are the only reasons I go. I often have the problem of not being able to find what I want... They tend to not have certain "healthier" options, or options that are better for the environment. Also, the staff usually ignores me, or is rude, or hits on me. read more

I hate Hayward! Anyways, FoodMaxx ummmm who cares its food and its cheap but just make sure you check the dates on them before you buy lol plus its close to where I live and I'm on a budget ... they don't have a lot to choose from and not to many healthy food but it'll do lol sorry bout it. read more

Works for me, sometimes they don't have enough cashiers especially during rush hour but hey, figure the timing out and you will be fine, way cheaper than safeway. for exact same items. Will keep going there. read more

It's a shame this place is such a dump because they have some good products at decent prices. The parking lot is an obstacle course because it's filled w/ shopping carts. The employees only shag carts once a day I guess. Customers can't be bothered to leave them in the cart returns, but can you blame them? The store treats you so shoddily -- 1-2 checkers at busy hours, busted lights in the lot making it dangerous -- Food Max's solution? Close the store earlier. This place deserves to go down. read more

This is a smaller version of COSTCO. Groceries are cheap and they almost have everything. They also have fresh supplies of fruits and vegetables. I like shopping here but we have to wait 10-15 mins in the cashier. Self check out counter has a long line too. If you're in a rush to pay your grocery items you need to be patient here. read more

Watch out for OLIVIA...she's the meanest cashier in this store..no manners ..very rude to the customer ..manager needs to give a big talk to this woman... read more

This place is in a convenient location. Good for me. Fresh produce for lunch =)

Close to my house and I only go here for Red Box. The few tomes I have shopped here for groceries were pretty disappointing; they don't have a great selection of items such as Safeway and the lines are always super long and terrible. Hate this place with a passion; my bf and I drive to the next town over just to get a better grocery store with a better selection, friendlier staff, nicer atmosphere and don't have to wait in huge lines just to buy a few items. read more

Yelp says store opens until 1am. It's only 12:30am and they locked all the doors already! Waste of time driving all the way here!

Going to Foodmaxx between the times of 10pm-2am is no fun. There's this woman on the cash register who never is really open to talk to. She's rude as hell. I understand it's a graveyard shift but the security guard treats me better than the damn woman. I've work in a grocery store and it's not so hard to smile at people and try to make your shift a good shift. Anyways she's awful and rude and sucks. So don't go from 10pm-2am. read more

They have great pumpkin pie at a great price. Cheap groceries, but lots of shady folk in front of the store trying to sell stolen jewelery and candy. read more

This used to be my favorite grocery store but now I really don't like it. It just seems dirty. The lines are always long. It seems like everyone checks out at the same time. There are never enough cashiers. The meat section is the main thing I am not happy about. There should be no reason why there is brown meat for sale. The lights are dim in that area as if we are not going to notice. The steak, ground beef, roast...Brown, Brown Brown....Yuck! The staff is friendly, so that is one good thing about it. read more

Long lines, slow checkers and you are sure to be sent to the wrong isle by one of the clerks. But it is cheaper than some.

Horrible customer service by front end manager really rude foodmaxx advertises they add price match but then checkers don't know how to process transactions and need managers help. She acted like it was a bother and was unhelpful in helping me get what I came for. Not my first experience. Remember customers= paycheck! read more

Favorite Foodmaxx, however, if you decided to buy ground beef from here, make sure to cook it the same night, otherwise it will go bad within 2 days. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I know to expect insane lines when I go to this store, but tonight was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. There were lines stretching back to the grocery aisles, each at least 10 customers deep. The checkers did absolutely nothing to speed customers through the lines, nor did they call any more checkers to the front, and there were more available checkers. I'll gladly drive the 3-4 extra miles to Safeway to do my shopping. The amount of money I would save at FoodMaxx does not make up for the aggrivation and frustration shopping at this store causes. I've also found the same things that others have mentioned that they lack certain items and good luck finding many if any organic or healthier options (higher fiber breads, etc.). read more
