Exactly what you'd expect. Was able to purchase some quick items for dinner, and even picked up some meat, adventurous type that we are. We were cooking everything immediately so there's that. Cashier's were actually friendly. read more

Met foods is my one stop shop for the past 4 years now since i moved to Brooklyn from Atlanta. The place is clean as a whistle and ther items are all categorized well so its easy to find whatever your looking for. Customer service is on point as well! Highly recommend!! read more

Met Food Markets - Storefront - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A smaller operation than Key Food/Superfresh or Foodtown. Basically vin ordinaire with a small nod to upscale products. Problems include: 1) VERY narrow aisles 2) produce, esp sale items, not good 3) "bakery" dept a joke 4) has become pricey 5) advertised specials often not in stock 6) advertised prices not rung up at registers- be VERY careful The spanish stockboys are very helpful but cashiers can sometimes be unfriendly (they is a high turnover?) and the managers are often indifferent or annoyed with comp[laints or problems. If you live close by aned have to walk its the only choice but if you can drive the competition is much better read more

False advertising and rude cashiers. The lack of professionalism is astounding! They even lied about being the manager. There are thousands of grocers near by I do not have to pay for shitty service! read more

One of the better looking supermarkets in the area. Despite the area, everything was clean and neatly stocked. It shows management cares about the appearance of the place. Outside was brightly lit during the evening and it looked inviting. Had a good purchasing experience here with no hassle. Staff seemed to be happy working there as well. read more

Met Food Markets - Outside - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Fresh food, great service, all registers always manned, clean environment, would recommend!

Overpriced, understocked, disorganized, expired items, and the radio plays static. I don't expect much from a local grocery store. I don't need gourmet items. If you don't carry something I want, that's cool -- I don't need to be especially catered to. If you want to carry organic quinoa, hey, that's awesome, but there's no reason to charge $8/pound for it. I'm fine without the quinoa, really, but I've bought dairy products that turned out to be expired. (Yeah, I do usually check expiration dates, but come on! Share some of the work of that with me?). Sometimes the cardboard containers for dry goods have water damage. I want to like you, local Met Food, but lately it feels like you're trying to make me think I'm losing my mind. (Did I mention the radio never seems to be quite on the station?) read more

First off- CHECK THE DATES ON EVERYTHING. I've picked up so many expired packages of vegetables and dairy here (gross). I once bought a carton of cottage cheese that was TWO WEEKS past its expiration. I brought it back as soon as I noticed and the manager gave me a replacement. He said he would talk to "the dairy guy," but that was months ago and I spot expired dairy nearly every time I'm there. Also, thoroughly check your produce before you buy it. There are always a ton of fruit flies around the produce section and some really nasty looking produce. Just the other day I bought what seemed like a safe, ripe carton of strawberries. I opened it this morning and had to throw nearly 2/3rds of the strawberries out because of mold. It couldn't be seen from the outside of the carton- open those babies up and poke around. Secondly- everything here is so expensive. It's hard to find an affordable grocery store with all of the necessities in this neighborhood, but this store doesn't even come close. Why is a small container of nuts $5.99? Why do berries sometimes cost $6.99 for small carton? Why is yogurt $7.99 for a large container? These things should be half the price they sell them for. They have to realize that no one will pay those prices. That's probably why so much expired food is on the shelves. And third- the people who work here are just strange. I once saw two managers, who I'm pretty sure are brothers, get in a fight. I'm talking all out fist fight brawl that left one bleeding from the face. Customers were screaming at them to stop. I thought they were going to kill each other. I get that everyone has issues, but having a fist fight in front of your customers is just too far. Also- make sure to mentally keep track of sales and check that they ring up at the register. They often don't, but the cashiers will correct it if you speak up. read more

Seriously? No Baked Cheetos. No caffeine free Diet Coke. No Ramen Noodles. No, thank you. As a newly minted Brooklynite (sigh), the Met was my first stop on my grocery store tour, and I left heartbroken. ("Heartbroken" might be a tad dramatic. "Disappointed" probably makes more sense.) It's small, it's oppressive, and clearly the foodstuffs are limited. What's a junk foodie like me to do? Shop somewhere else, that's what. read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE! I have been a patron of this supermarket for years and while the cashiers are very pleasant the owners have been arrogant. There have been many times that I have found expired goods on the shelf and (I only looked out for them because of the hassle the owners gave me when I attempted to return a bottle of mayo that was a year pass the expiration date). I have continued to shop out of convince and knowing I would have to do quality control checks myself. But after viewing the now viral video I am disgusted having given this supermarket any money in the past. The owner even tried to defend his behavior during the incident by saying he has done a lot for the community. I have lived in this community for over 20 years and if he considers selling expired goods, not making changes or renovations to the supermarket while the black West Indian community were its only patrons doing a lot for the community then he is confused and more arrogant than he appeared before. I hope they sell to new owners because the staff (who I mentioned are usually very nice and pleasant) should not have to suffer do to the owners poor actions and choices read more

My usual supermarket, best prices in the area. Their deli sandwiches are made very well

This place has a really bad odor, and the prices advertised usually don't ring up. But if you can prove the price, the sale prices are pretty good and they get 3 stars for being in the neighborhood. That said, if I'm after convenience, I'd rather go across the street to the bodega- the produce seems fresher, owners/staff are friendlier, and there's no terrible odor. read more

This is a pretty decent grocery store for the area. Meat and veggie selection is good, cashiers are friendly. Happy it is here!

Meh, I mean Met...It's a grocery store. It's the closest "big" grocery store to my new apartment. It's alright I guess, I got spoiled by a great big Key Foods while living in Greenpoint. The produce looks fresh enough, which is more than I can say for a lot of grocery stores in the city. I wasn't too impressed with the frozen foods section which unfortunately tends to be the bulk of my groceries. Let's just say I'll go here if I need to but I think I'll rely on Fresh Direct as much as I can. read more

Came here once and will not come back, I guess I will stay with Western Beef which is not really a choice... I found a pack a meat that was past it's date of freshness and that is all I needed. Will come here if it was my last choice though; just have to make sure to check the dates and you should too!!! read more

Prices never consistent across the same products, nor are they updated in the system. Nothing is fresh, especially the old produce. Cashiers are rude as hell. $10 minimum on cards. read more

They don't give rain checks on merchandise and their prices are high compare to other supermarkets and you must check expiration date on their merchandise read more

Selection is not bad, but what is bad is being followed all over the store by a security guard on every visit. Only stop here for emergencies, prefer Fairway. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for two years and this place is like a second home. The cashiers can be bitchy at times but hey - so can I. The guys who own the place are always friendly and super helpful. They have been observant of the new food trends and are adapting. This place is a staple in the neighborhood and I'm happy that it's my local market. = ) read more

Just went in to grab some eggs the other morning. It looked like they had a nice selection of groceries but as I was looking for the eggs I saw a group of workers working on cleaning out the inside one of the refrigerated sections, I think it was where the meat usually is because there was still some meat on the shelf next to it. There was a large amount of crap in the bottom of it. Not sure what it was but it was not pretty, there shouldn't be large amounts of dirt and who knows what else around food, especially meat, just gross. I'll be staying away from the meat for sure, and I'll only be coming in if I need something quick. read more

I've lived in this area for decades. Most of the cashiers are RUDE!! The food selection is limited. I've asked them to order items and they NEVER do. You also should pay attention to the prices you are charged. The items have one price on the shelf and a higher price at the check out. I ONLY shop here as a LAST resort!!!!!! read more

I like it. It had all the essentials, had some organic vegetables/fruits and it's literally steps away from where i live. They didn't have my chocolate almond milk and selection is limited but it's a pretty small place so what do you expect? I really can't complain. It's convenient and i'm coming back. read more

MEt Food Nostrand Ave is the best! Friendly, helpful staff! They are constantly bringing in new products and improvements to the store. Prices are fair and the owners really care about the customers shopping experience. read more

I honestly really like this grocery store. They have $1 Secret deodorants right by the checkout, which is so nice (especially during the summer). The cashiers are also pretty friendly; they always joke around with me. Sure, the selection is kinda small, but their prices are reasonable and they have what you'd need to throw together a nice little dinner. Convenient location, too. read more

This Met food has always had fresh meat and produce, but over the past 6 years or so it has definitely upgraded itself from a somewhat run-down store featuring cheap products to a supermarket that does a good job of appealing to the older area residents while stocking some upscale products to appeal to the newcomers. The upgraded beer selection is especially worthy of praise. There was a long long time when the best beer you could get in this area was Red Stripe. Now this Met is not the only place that carries a craft beer selection of brews like Magic Hat and Pork Slap, but it is convenient and prices are reasonable. They also have a small but fine deli section that carries Boar's Head products. read more

Nice grocery store if you live in the area. Has all the essentials. Good weekly sales. Owners are nice. They recently updated the interior of the store to make it newer as well. read more

This market is small and easy to navigate, yet the quality and selection is spot on. If I could only go to one market in the neighborhood it would be this one, especially because the prices are super reasonable. Bought some brussels sprouts there last week that were big, beautiful, spotless for $2.49 a pound. read more

The prices on basic items here cost quite a bit more than at the Key foods 2 blocks away. Things even cost more than other Met Foods in more affluent neighborhoods. The costs add up, but the products aren't even really good quality. This place has notes and signs inside advertising to people on WIC and food stamps, so it's pretty unethical to be charging 50 cents to several dollars more on everything from milk to cereal to canned foods when half of your customers either don't know better or can't afford the added cost. I was also in there yesterday and found quite a few expired things on the shelves. It's true what others are saying that their "sales" never ring up at the register, so you get home and realize you didn't get the advertised price and spent a bunch of extra money, but it's too late to go back and have them refund you. It's happened so often that I can no longer write it off as a mistake. It's just deceptive. They also close way early on Sunday, have a pretty steep minimum on debit and credit cards, and their door doesn't work! I hate carrying groceries even just the extra block to Key Foods, but I will now. read more
