Need to read the expiration date as items in several departments are still being sold. While there are several check out counters only a few are open. With the parking lot on an uphill grade carts can roll down the grade hitting parked cars. This market doesn't have a salad bar and the only prepared food is chicken. The devote is no where near recently built ShopRites. Well worth the extra time to patronize the Union ShopRite ion Union also on Route 22. Walkefern should remove the association as being operated a ShopRite. read more

Hi, this is just a concern of a " Smiley Drain" commercial for ShopRite oh Hillside that doesn't reflect any of its employees or consumers, the ShopRite has a great host of employees and management team. I feel that they are very responsive to products not on the shelves to quickly go get during busy days. also pleasant. So please, when you the neighborhood and decide to film commercials the PR team is, let it reflect some of it's "actual" employees! read more

Store is dirty, long lines with no staff, bathroom is disgusting, bakery is so underwhelming and cooked food and deli are unappetizing and they often have meat any other store would not sell. Does this store make less money than other ShopRites or are the residents not deserving of a clean, beautiful ShopRite with a real bakery and a cooked foods dept, and a bathroom Tired of traveling to Union or Clark for a decent shopping experience. read more

I've come to this Shoprite location as total of 2 times now. But times, my experience was consistent with my experiences at other locations. Stock - It was great. Most items I wanted was in stock and easily found. Produce looked good as did the meat items. Layout - Good. It was laid out in a consistent manner. Some locations have their layouts in odd configurations but I'm pleased to say this one was normal. Space - Very spacious. At no point during the shopping process was I hesitating to go down certain aisles because I was worried about another shopper's cart blocking my way. I was able to get in and out of each aisles smoothly and quickly. They also have what looks like a whole new area to the store. It could be old as I'm new to this location. This part houses the pharmacy, the rest of the dairy aisle and haircare, pet stuff and other miscellaneous items. Pharmacy - The pharmacist is nice and seems to have a good rapport with the regulars. I interacted with her when I went for my one dose COVID vaccine. They have a list by the way with the name and appointment time and so it's easy to check in. I waited about 10 minutes and then she dosed me and had me wait at the table for the required 15 minutes. I did a thumbs up as did she and went on my way. It was incredibly easy to complete the whole process. Checkout - I've been through self checkout and a regular checkout lane. Both are fine and fast. Also the self checkout lanes feature the short and long belts depending upon the size of your order. I greatly appreciated that feature. It only took me about 5 minutes to go through self and 10 minutes to go through the regular lane. All lanes are clearly marked along with which aisle to stand in for each lane. Employees - They were polite and that's all I ask for. Finally, they have plenty of self scanners around that also double as a way for you to load coupons to your card if you forget to do so at home or don't want to put their app on your device. I will absolutely come here again. read more

ShopRite of Hillside - Spanish food aisle - Grocery Near Me - Hillside, New Jersey

Great!!! No long lines was able to do self check out with no issues!! I will definitely recommend this ShopRite in hillside if you live in the area. read more

Quite possibly the worst grocery store in New Jersey. It is laid out in a bizarre fashion, making things very difficult to find. There are long lines at the checkout, except for the self check out. The self check out is bizarre. I work in computers and I find the self check out at ShopRite counterintuitive and confusing. I asked to see a manager. I said,"If you're keeping data on the self check out, you might want to note that the 'I have my own bag," button (which is very important in NJ), is tucked away down near the change language & accessibility button. Also, I've had to ask for help 3 times because of the sensors in the bagging area. Each time the associate comes over with their key and makes an adjustment, wasting their time and mine." I was told very rudely, "You're the FIRST complaint we've had about the self check out!" I started to say the words, "You're clearly not tracking data, as each problem reported represents a larger number of unreported similar issues." Yup. That's what I started to say. But I only got as far as "You're clearly..." when the manager took a step towards me and shouted, "I'm clearly WHAT?" in a hostile tone, in a physically threatening stance. So... great manager you have there. I spent $78.03 in the store that day. Please tell me, how much do I have to spend to be treated with even a modicum of common courtesy? As I said, the worst grocery store in New Jersey. read more

We ordered a custom cake for my niece's birthday this past weekend. The first photo ("what we asked for) is the cake design we requested, and the second photo ("what we received) is the cake we received. We were PROMISED that the baker could replicate the first photo. Instead of individual cupcakes, we received pull-apart cupcakes that were CAKED ON with MOUNDS of icing. The unicorn hair, especially, was done with little to no care; it's honestly sloppy. And to top it off, they refused to give us a refund, even a refund of half of the amount that was paid. Classic example of what you asked for vs what you got. We shouldn't have been promised that the first photo could be replicated, and we should've received at least half of our money back because we did not receive what we asked for. read more

This grocery store has it all. It can get quite busy, but when it's in a location like this what do you expect?! Love the variety in other cultures foods, seasonings, sauces, snacks, etc. I can find pretty much any spice or food I'm looking for here and they have all if not most brands of products so this is usually my one stop shop when I'm in this area. It does get crazy on peak times so just a heads up read more

One of my favorite shoprite locations, esp in my hometown. Love the new size definitely a upgrade to the store. Now the bad. ..... Cashiers please it's not my job to bag my groceries yes if I have a lot I will "help" but don't wait for me to finish bagging while you just stand there pushing it down. I'm not sure how often they check the expiration date on items, but I have picked up some protein bars that was 2013......umm hello we are well half into the new year no need for that, so I went to customer service to let them know. They ensure me the person working that section hasn't come in yet and they would put out a new box fine. I have found yogurt expired. I see they put the ones closer to date in the front and the fresher ones towards the back. So tip, dig further in the back to get the longer date. read more

It took me an hour to get 5 items because of how packed and disorderly this shoprite is. After getting my 5 items I had to stand in line fo another 30 minutes because the 15&10 items or less line had been turned into the 65 and older checkout lanes(which I'm not against) but that's a stupid idea to change those two lines. Change lanes 15 and 16 for gods sake. Literally the worst experience in a shoprite EVER... EVER read more

Worst experience! Longest lines and I almost always have an unpleasant interaction with a staff member. Courtesy staff are simply not courteous, don't try to help find things, and can put a damper on the overall shopping experience. At this point I go there because it's the closest to me, but I will drive the further distance for a better experience. read more

I pass this Shoprite when I take Route 22 home from work... I decided to finally give this Shop Rite a try.. Service was good... 80s music was playing... At this store cashback is only $50... Will come to this store when need be.... read more

ShopRite hillside is just fine. It's always stock and cashiers are nice I find what I need, the employees are very helpful. read more

I rented a carpet cleaner here. It was OK. They didn't offer me the cleaning solution, which I remembered as I saw it while walking OUT the front door where it is stacked for display, beyond the checkout registers. Odd... Gluten free section by customer service. read more

This supermarket is HUGE, If you know this supermarket from back in the day they've expanded. Great variety and pricing. I'm not happy with the customer service in here, I have been let down too many times in the deli so I try to go elsewhere.Super packed location during rush hours. be forewarned. Avoid the deli as the staff in the deli are very mean and not customer service oriented. good luck. read more

Just close it DOWN....... PERIOD It's just that bad. Cashiers/ Customer Service are the worst.

These people are rude as hell and need a lesson in customer service. I know some of them are in high school and some of them are very grown but very miserable, but it wouldn't kill you to smile and greet your customers and say thank you. All they ever do is look at you with an attitude and say "shoprite card?" Or they're chatting with the person behind them. It takes every thing in me not to go off on these idiots. Maybe if I was White I would Atleast get a hello, because Black people tend not to take other black people serious. You guys suck and I'm tired of complaining to the managers. I'm going to call corporate. Go find another job where you don't have to interact with people. read more

This is ghetto supermarket if you like clean place don't go there ! It is horrible place and the workers don't give a S***T for you ! Stay away read more

Really bad I guess no one wants to work three lines been in line 30 minutes to pay for 4 things what a shame .. oh yea and very unorganized don't have anything in it's place even cookies with beans .. wow read more

RUDE. Every time I come here they are rude! I live in Hillside and only come here for travel convenience. They never have anything.. employees are rude.. This trip the cashier did not even acknowledge my existence.. didn't even ask if I had a shop rite card. I've worked in retail for years and I know that his behavior was unacceptable! I would rather visit the one in the neighboring town. read more

This is the closest Shoprite to me and it's the smallest one as well (it seems so). I have no complains, I rather come here than the one in East Orange and it's such a laidback atmosphere coming in here. The convenience is nice, and it's just a bit further than the closest supermarket (City) which has been a huge disappointment for me and my mother. read more

On August 25, 2018 I visited the Hillside, NJ Shop Rite. I went to the Fish Department. I was the only customer waiting, while the 2 employees behind the counter held a conversation and acted like they didn't see me, even though one of them was facing me. I waited a minute to see whether or not if they would come and give me service, well they didn't. I than said excuse me can I get some help over here. One of the ladies look at me and said to me once I finish my conversation I will help you. Once she finish her conversation about her Friday night, she came over to help me. I order 3 lobsters, she slam them on the scale to weight them. I took the lobster and continue my shopping. But felt real uneasy about the hold situation. I went to customer service and asked to speak to the store manager. The manager came and I told him the incident that happen, he inform me to call the 1800 number about this incident if I wanted something done about the incident. Once I finished with the store manager I went to check out. I look in the bag that the lobsters was in, and one of the lobster was dead. That was enough for me in Shop Rite. I walked out of Shop Rite with nothing. All the groceries that I had in my cart was left there in the cart. I sat and waited for the rest of my family to come to the car after they purchase there items. I work to hard for my money to come to your store and to be treated like I'm doing something wrong and you still want me to spend my money in that store. I don't know who do the hiring in your stores, but something needs to be done. And for the store manager to come and say to me to call a 1 800 number when he's the store manager. Something is wrong!! And I don't have to pay to be treated like that. read more

Waiting at courtesy 4 cashiers no line and theyre all too busy for customers!!!!!!! There is no courtesy at this store.

I am completely in love with the renovations done to this place! The new additions were perfect! I didn't know a grocery store could get that large and have so many selections like Shop Rite. They have really stepped their game up! If your in the area go check it out! read more

What a garbage place. The meats are always sitting out of the fridge case and they have the slowest cashiers, putting the slowest and unfriendliest employee on the express register. read more

This location has been around for years with a recent expansion which increases your selection of food and prices. The facility is always clean, spacious, and friendly. Not only are there weekly sales, there's ample parking to get to those sales! I have been going here for years whether it's early in the morning or late at night, this Shop Rite is always reliable. read more

This location was so unprofessional. I arrived at. 9:10pm. The seafood attendant Julia was in the area spraying the floor. I attempted to get two pieces of Catfish. I was advise "Bro you to late". Which was amazing to me due to the fact we never meet before. I went to front to speak to the manager Sue that explain that the seafood closes 30 min early because Julie had to catch the buses. She stated if I wanted deli it was close the general manager did not schedule anyone. I explained to Sue that as the customer I felt it was wrong based on the fact I came before and it was not closed and that I caught a Uber here. She stated that she would ask Julie to give me two pieces of fish. I explained I don't want anything free. We went to the back where I once again meet Julie and she was upset. They had some discussion and I headed to the front with my fish and other grocery and I had the opportunity to meet Treyvon the cashier. As he was on Reg5 and yelled to Reg2 where Abdule work and asked him what time he got off. When Abdule mention midnight. Treyvon y'all "All SHIT." This is one of the most GHETTO STORES in Jersey. Thanks for a great Experience. NOT read more

The cashiers there do not know it is their job to help customers. One visit two female cashiers thought it was their jobs to gossip and give attitude. Another visit, a cashier refused to bag and told my son to do it. My husband stood around the deli and never got served because the deli workers ignored him. This attitude is the norm. Except for an older lady in the bakery. She was great, polite and aimed to please. She did a great job with my son's birthday cake. Aside from her, the staff is consistently rude and a manager is never to be found. I live in this town and will travel out of town to do my shopping. Says a lot doesn't it. read more

There is a worker in the fish department who has the WORST attitude. She acts like you have interrupted her day by asking for help. She is always grumpy and acts like the customers are the enemy. read more

This Shop rite is okay for small shopping. Most of the time the items on sale are not available especially the meat department. The manager must also provide and introduce other choices of commodities. Not the friendliest departments except for the Customer Service desk. Very professional ,helpful, efficient and friendly. I try to avoid this Shop Rite and take the long run to Union's new store which has a better variety of items. read more

Some cereals, Quaker items and some frozen routinely have a 2 month expiration date. I recently spoke w manager about an item that was expired and she promptly gathered those items. The next day I checked same brand and found that they were not all taken off the shelf or worse, the manager may have returned those items to shelf. Look at your expiration dates people while shopping here. Buyer beware! read more

Shoprite seems to pride itself on being the one stop shop for everyone. "Shop right every time" I don't think so! As a shoprite customer of many decades, I'm beyond shocked at the atrocity that was committed by the shoprite branch in Hillside, NJ. My father bought a rotisserie chicken on 1/18/18 and almost ate two METAL SCREWS that were in the Perdue chicken!! Immediately he contacted the management team of the Hillside Shoprite and his concerns weren't even acknowledged. Its been a week already and no action has been taken. I for one am absolutely distraught by this. And the lack of response and promptness on this matter is unacceptable. The store Manager, Nigel Johnson, hasn't made the slightest attempt to correct this issue. Who knows how many damaged goods of this sort they're selling to other consumers! This should NOT be the type of leadership or quality standard that Shoprite should be upholding. In fact, such carelessness poses a true physical threat to the health of many. How sad it is to see the legacy, of what was such a high quality food store, be brought down by the neglect of its staff. read more

This place was ooohhh-kay, but nothing special, kind of old and out-dated and not in the best looking area. Later I found a Stop & Shop in Elizabeth I think it was - not sure (?). I'm not from or live in NJ, was just there for a couple days, what is up with these old grocery stores built in 1965 that look like they haven't been updated since 1978??!! If a grocery store looks old and worn it makes me think it's not clean. I actually went to two Shop Rite's in the area (think the other was in Kearny. The one Stop & Shop I found was big and clean and modern looking. read more

Sunday evening 12/16/18 came to shoprite in Hillside where I do all my grocery shopping typically 2 times a week. I always go to the seafood department and get fillet pieces of the Atlantic Salmon. Most of the time it's already cut into fillet pieces and when it's not they cut me 2 pieces into a fillet for me. Never ever have a problem. One of the ladies who works there is so kind and always greets with a smile and when I go there she knows exactly what I want already and gives them to me or if needed, cuts them for me, tonight there was another lady (African America, heavy set) with a horrible attitude. I told her I'd like the Salmon and asked her to cut it into a fillet for me and she said No they have already been cut.. and closed the window for the fish and just walked away. I processed to tell her that I can there all the time and if it's not cut the lady will cut it for me and she said "well I'm not cutting it, it's already cut" they were huge pieces literally so big that it can be cut into 4 pieces of fillet. My knives at home will not cut through it and that's why I ask them to do it. Again never had a problem and always had great service at the seafood department. Tonight was another story. You shouldn't have people who don't commit to customer service working with customers. Her attitude is disgusting and unacceptable. If she's having a bad day and a bad attitude she should've went home rather then working in public with an attitude like that. I will be sure to tell everyone that I know personally at work, friends and family to stay away from the seafood department of Hillside until they get some friendlier people to work for them! read more

If I could give negative stars I would. Pathetic, will soon be out of business when Wegman's opens. Had 2 items, took 15 minutes to check out. You need to find another task for Frank on register 6. He could not have been more inefficient at the speed of checkout (even with another employee to bag for him). He kept thanking me for my patience, what made him think that I was being patient? Why was the express line, in fact multiple express lines, not open? Need to start all over with your managers and quality of employees. read more

This has got to be the worst shoprite ever. Always long lines and very understaffed. Ive waited on a line for 30 min. The bakery department is laughable, never any bagels or rolls. The deli meat to go section is always empty and one time I got bad salami and had to throw it away. The meat section understocked as well. Just awful. read more

Produce section is lacking in any quality fruit, the natural and organic options are still limited (albeit growing) due to market demand. I don't have any gripes with this location - can be very depressing. Everyone seems to be very sad. I mean, it's New Jersey, after all. read more

great range of food products ..customer service needs improvement ..
