We've passed this place a thousand times. Yesterday out of curiosity we stopped. I must say I'm very pleasantly surprised. Place is kind of tight through the aisles but I was really surprised that I didn't have to compromise on my needs. Store was well stocked and contained major brands and also offered a few options. Major plus was the fresh foods made in house like the potato and Mac salad. Really tasted home made without that "factory" taste. Meat section was plentiful and deli was attentive and friendly. I really have nothing bad to say which is unusual for this reviewer. Oh maybe one thing... watch dates on some items. I'm not sure of the volume Jacks does so turnover maybe a little slower. Bottom line... great spot that serves the locals quality items and nice workers. Good spot!! Parking behind the store. Mellow feel to the store playing great 60's -80's rock read more

I love the early opening! It's very convenient. The store was clean and there's always parking in the municipal lot. For a small store there's always a variety of products. read more

I am a frequent shopper at this place but I am hesitant to go due to rudeness displayed by the guy who seems like an owner for this place. He's always there and the way he talks to me is absolutely astounding. Very short, very irritated and annoyed that he has to answer costumers questions. It's very upsetting to see him nicer to others who are non ethnic. read more

This market is close to my work so I can attempt to zip in and out in 30 min during my lunch hour. Coming here makes me feel like I'm in an episode of Gilmore Girls. It has a small town feel and everyone there is incredibly nice and helpful; all the time. It's nice to find a place that is protected from the hustle and bustle grind that we're so used to experiencing in this area. The prices aren't always the best; they don't always have every product; their options may be limited, but they do yield good quality items like boars head deli items and di Cecco pasta. I noticed they no longer carried my favorite pretzels and the cashier said she would let the manager and the vendor know. You can beat that kind of service. read more

Jacks is right there. I live in the town it is a go to place. I stop a lot on the way home at night to pick up a quick meal. I like the fruits. They have booze. I recently died. So I have watch what I eat. Jacks makes it easy everything is labeled for health. Here is the thing. They play the best music. Really every time. read more

Jack's Supermarket - Maybe some guacamole in my future. - Grocery Near Me - Caldwell, New Jersey

I'm taking this place down to 2 stars because I recently paid $11/lb. for veal cutlets, only to prep, cook and serve them and realize that they had sold me PORK cutlets. It was obvious to both my wife and me. Either the meat guy committed a rookie error, or he thinks people are stupid and can't tell the difference. Either way, I'm not falling for this again. Going forward, I'm getting my meat across the street at Caldwell Market. Jack needs to be a little more hands-on with his department managers. read more

Being from out of state (California, important later) and moving to Caldwell, I figured that this grocery store would be great. The store is located about a 5 minute walk from my residence so it would be a good opportunity to get some sun when I didn't want to study. I arrive and see that they are decently stocked. They've got most of what I would normally get as well as the usual array of breads, pastas, fruits, veggies, etc. As I'm perusing the aisles, I'm taken aback by some of the ridiculous prices for some of the more everyday items (Chobani yogurt, oatmeal, any/all fruit). I brush it off as I've foreseen this happening and adequately budgeted my food money beforehand. I eventually make my way to where they keep the wine and grab a Napa wine. I head over to the check out counter where the cashier was pretty chill dude. He rings me up and gets to the wine bottle. As per protocol he asks for my ID and I hand it over. He looks confused for a moment so I point to the line where it says I have been 21 since XYZ date. Still confused he calls over the supervisor. This is where I lose my confidence in this grocery store. The supervisor tells me **"We don't sell wine to people without a NJ driver's license"**. My mind is a blank as I'm completely baffled with what's going on. I ask for a reason and he shrugs me off and tells me that it's just a rule. I look to the cashier and he shrugs as well. Thanks for the nice welcome to NJ, Jack's Supermarket. I'll take my California self and ID to another store that's more tolerant of people from different states. Absolutely ridiculous. **EDIT**: For those of you who don't know, there's a much much cheaper ShopRite with the same brands and more and cheaper prices down the street at the intersection of Bloomfield and Passaic. read more

Small neighborhood grocery store in the heart of Caldwell. There is metered parking on the street or a small lot in the back of the store. Pros: I find that their fruit and meat selection here is better than Shoprite's or Stop and Shop's. Sure, they may not have as many different varieties as the other stores, but I think the fruit/meat that they sell here generally tastes better. Friendly staff, mostly high school kids working in the pm. Cons: They are probably the priciest out of all the supermarkets in the town. Every once in awhile you'll get a good deal here, though. Can't pay for a purchase that is under $5 with a credit card. I think they'll accept debit for something that is under $5, but don't quote me on that. I'd bring cash if you're just going in for one small item. Besides, ever go to a grocery store that keeps the tampons in the same aisle as the cat food? Well, you have now. I hope Jack's appreciates my patronage as much as I appreciate their twisted sense of humor. read more

I've been coming here for years and it's nothing to write home about. There's a decent selection of mold if you find that sort of thing appetizing, but to be fair they'll make a good sandwhich. The staff is nice and helpful with the exception of the manager. The manager with the "sunny side up" type of head kept following my friends and I around and I can't be positive but I'm pretty sure he just farted. read more

Have been going to Jack's for years. Very friendly, Jack is sometimes there himself to greet each customer at the cash register. Oh yes, my wife and I love the background music! read more

Jack's is a great little store. It's hard to keep a smaller grocery store stocked as well as let's say, Shop Rite, but they do a great job. They always have plenty of help at the registers and the store manager, Anthony, obviously works his butt off and is there practically 24/7 straightening shelves and spraying vegetables. There is real effort put into this place by its employees and I am so grateful to have Jacks in Caldwell. Smaller grocery stores often are not as cheap as the big stores, but it is offset by being a pleasurable shopping experience. We should support Jack's bc if it ever closed ,it would be sorely missed. read more

I am a BAGGER Here and I work here I don't really recommend it if your looking not spend a lot of money but I do recommend our food. Its very convenient I live 2 min away from this place so it's very easy for me to get to work and back but we do have savings lol and they help a lot :) EVERYONE IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND USUALLY GREAT TO TALK TO :) I'd recommend coming here if u don't want spend a lot of money :) read more

Nasty cashiers Why is it that a small town food store would not care about quality customer service? The cashiers are nasty not helpful and don't even ask you for your rewards card the managers are just as bad! read more

So, yesterday, as I do almost every single day I stopped at Jack's Foodtown in Caldwell, NJ to pick up a few items. Upon leaving I was horrified when my shopping cart slipped out of my grasp while I was unloading it and dented the car two spaces away. I got the license number and went inside to see if the owner was in Jacks to provide my information so I could reimburse the car owner for the repairs. I was treated to an abusive "Anthony" the car owner who refused to acknowledge my apology and carried on as though i had taken a sledgehammer to his admittedly lovely car. Wont be shopping there again. What a mistake trying to do the right thing turned out to be. read more

I was a local shopper for years so much so that when my daughter was looking for a job I suggested Jacks close to home seemed like a great place to work I was wrong the management treats the young kids that work there so terribly my daughter was called names by (Eileen Table) the manager on several occasions as well as threatened by her to be to work on time or "every bone in her body will be broken" all I wanted was a safe place for my daughter to learn the value of making her own money in return she was abused!! I did try and contact Jack a few times to discuss how my daughter was treated he never responded. read more

On my lunch Break today i went to Jack's to grab a bite. While i was waiting in line at the deli counter, i could not help but to over hear what appeared to be a manger verbally harass his cashier in a completely unprofessional manner. He got into the face of the young man screaming and cursing him off as if he was going to strike him in front of everyone. I cant help but to feel sorry for the young man who works in such an abusive work place. I will NEVER shop here again and will take the few extra minutes and go down to Shoprite. I am also going to tell all my friends and advise everyone to never shop here and support a business that treats their employees like that. I hope the young man is okay! read more

i have been coming to Jack for the past seven years and I'm 50 plus years old and the Manager follows me around the store. He is not friendly neither is most of the customer Service women. The rest of the store very helpful and friendly. Food is always fresh some great deals and Jack when at the store is extremely friendly and has everyone on top of their game. The manager that opens the store is extremely helpful. Doesn't compete with Shoprite but is convientent and has anything you need. Just don't pick something up and put it back the Manager walking behind you will run over and check on it. read more

When i first came here i thought "Is this a foodtown express?". it is seriously very small. has the bare essentials. It is a 3 minute drive from home so i usually come here for things ive forgotten at the last minute. its usually not too crowded, but the parking is municipal so it is used for all the businesses in caldwell. The prices are up there, but the store is clean, just very small. i wish they had the space to be a larger store, i might do my regular shopping there, but thats the space available in Caldwell... read more

This place is only good for stopping in for those forgotten items, or a quick re-stock. However, the prices are RIDICULOUS, the store is dirty and very unorganized, and I've never once found a helpful employee! Seriously... what store doesn't have employees actually working on the floor?! The produce section is horrible. The food isn't rotated out properly, there is usually rotten produce, and no one is every working in it. That alone turns me off immediately. I just wait until I pass by the Whole Foods on my way home to grab fresh produce. Then there's the complication of the layout making ZERO sense. If you need more than one item, be prepared to spend four times as long looking for it. I'd say to ask someone, but you'll never find them either. I can't tell you how many times I just walked out in frustration. The cashiers are all about 12 and couldn't care less about you. Never engaging, barely paying attention, and look bored as hell and irritated that you're making them work. Again, good for a single item you desperately need, but not major shopping. Just skip it and go to the bigger, well-managed stores. read more
