This review is an emotional outpouring…read more Stew Leonard's (SL) has been a part of my life for 55 years. I first came to this store soon after it opened, when it was much smaller and the only SL store. I now live a few hours away from any of the stores, but 2 SL shopping bags are among those my family uses regularly. I still go here and to other SLs when it's opportune, and the close relationship between SL and my family culminated when, upon his passing, SL SR. was placed a few strides away from my parents at Willowbrook Cemetery (rated 5). Over the years our family developed a close personal connection with the store. My mother became good friends with the head chef there (the prepared foods are excellent--I still always get the ambrosia salad when I'm there!). Sorry I don't recall his name. He was there from at least the mid 90s to the early 2000s. As my mother grew older we started having increasing numbers of SL items as side dishes at our holiday meals. In 2001 when she died we had SL provide the whole Thanksgiving dinner. I recall going in and speaking to the head chef, informing him of my mother's passing. He said he had wondered what had happened to her and missed her. The connection between our family and the store grew with my wife and kids. When we got engaged I got my wife's parents a SL gift basket, complete with Elsa the cheese cow. We would all visit this store and some of the others while traveling, enjoying the ice cream on site and bringing non-perishables back home, as well as apple cider in season--we'd bring the coolers for that. I don't know if my mother ever met either the Senior or Junior proprietor. I won't say I 'met' either of them, but I did encounter them both together once. There were no intros, and it was brief and terse. It was early summer 1979 or '80; like many college students, I thought SL would be a good summer 'gig'. I went to apply and found no parking spaces, but saw another parking lot across the street. I parked there and two men, one old one young, both dressed business formal, went walking past. The older one asked why I was parking there. I noticed the SL employee-only sign only then; I said I was going to apply for a job. He insisted there were none available. I started to say I would like to just leave an application, but he cut me off, saying again "there are no jobs!" [Please continue reading in the review space for the Stew Leonard's store in Danbury. There wasn't enough space here to complete my review. Thank you.]

I love this location and my daughter was fortunate enough to visit our family for the holidays. I'm so jealous. My cousin saw her staring at the metal mug and purchased it for. That's family for you. I really miss the unusual vibes I get from Stew Leonard's atmosphere. I remember visiting as a teenager when I came to Connecticut for the summers. I'm highly recommending!

This is not my first time using this service, and I have never had issues before, which makes this failure even more unacceptable. Poor customer service deserves to be called out, and this is a blatant example of it. My order was canceled with absolutely no notification--no email, no text, no explanation. I was left waiting for an order that had already been canceled without my knowledge. This is completely unacceptable and reflects a serious breakdown in Stop & Shop's customer service. Why offer a service you clearly cannot manage or guarantee? Had I not called to follow up myself, I would have been left in limbo indefinitely. There should be a basic system in place to notify customers of any order delay or cancellation, along with a reason. From a technical standpoint, this is not difficult--you already have customer contact information, including email and phone numbers. To make matters worse, after this failure on your end, I was forced to resubmit the order, make an additional payment, and now wait 7-10 business days for a refund or credit on the canceled order. This is negligent, unprofessional, and an unacceptable way to conduct business. If zero stars were an option, that is what this experience deserves.

The produce is awful, the refrigerators are unreliable, and the "meat" selection is not much of a selection at all other than ever so seemingly expired roadkill. This place only stands because, as Wikipedia states, caters to "pedestrian" only population that is backed on food stamps. This place is run down, and needs a makeover.

When i try to use the restroom, it was located all the way back of the store. The door was shut so i tried to open it and realized it's locked, that means someone is in there so of course i wait...... Then a woman from the restroom opened the door (she's one employee) and yell at me said "you know i just got in here??" She was very rude and i explained to her there's no sign knowing someone is using it, it's normal that i try to open it because i DIDN'T Know anyone is inside!! She slam back the door ... .... Then when she's done she came out still telling me she just got here and alot of cleaning people make it stings whatever, and i so tell her she should put a sign and I'm not the one making it dirty. She was just so rude and i donno why i get yelleit when i just trying to use the store restroom. She was one cashier i found out. She stared at me later and i just check out on other line and didn't wanna deal with her attitude. I have been shopping here for years and this is most unpleasant experience to be treated in this store. (The guys here are nicer those who's stocking, they are helpful) in general those cashiers are not nice. Why would you yell at customers randomly??? Don't take your stress on customers, I'm not the one making you clean the restroom

Shopping at Palmer's is always an experience. Yes, the prices might be slightly higher than Whole…read moreFoods, but that's really beside the point, you're not just buying groceries, you're investing in a lifestyle. Where else can you stroll the aisles with a free coffee in hand, pretending you came in for "just one thing," while slowly filling your cart with items you didn't know existed but now absolutely need. And the rotisserie chicken might be the best financial decision in the whole store. Somehow it's the one thing that feels like a bargain while everything else gently reminds you that quality comes at a price. In the end you walk out with great groceries, a lighter wallet, and the comforting feeling that at least you did it with a cup of free coffee in your hand. Honestly, worth it.
