I've been shopping here for over 10 years now. It's gotten very crowded and there are times you're…read morebetter off to just avoid being here. Products are generally well stocked and the fresh things are fresh. There seem to be more than a few miserable people who work here or they are treated miserably and it affects their interactions with each other and customers . I guess it's a mixed bag, Some staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. It's a big place.. Also, signage is an issue and management should work on this. I always seem to be standing in the wrong place,not lined up where I supposed to be or something. Don't treat the people using self check out like they are criminals. And for goodness sake, if you want one line for express ordering and customer service and lottery, then rope it off and put the register where the personnel have a good line of sight. Today I had a staff member complain about me to her coworker (loud enough for me to hear) for walking up to the counter and there wasn't another customer anywhere around. Sorry I interrupted your conversation -- I really didn't see the little sign on the counter that says to form one line. Also, I was the only person waiting so there so there really wasn't a line to form :-p.

I really like going to this particular location in comparison to Hazlet a few miles up Rt. 35…read more Major difference in the customer service, the upkeep of the supermarket and the products offered. I always feel like they have a fresher selection and so I come here pretty often. The parking lot is spacious, clean, new and not overwhelming because of other stores who need to share parking. It's just a calmer experience. Then the set up is more preferred with the way you can enter through the main entrance or near there pharmacy. I also really like the convenience of having wines and spirits attached to make it a one stop shop for the customers. Very convenient and and easy to get what I need.

I love this Whole Foods. It's never crowded or busy. And…read moreit's a very accommodating shop. For example, this week I went to pick up a holiday pre-ordered Thanksgiving catering meal. I arrived one hour early, but they still allowed for me to pick up my meal. My one gripe about this place was their hot food bar. I didn't feel that the food was that great, but it was also because we went to eat close to closing. This had no impact on my review because I'm sure as the day got later the food quality was different. And I have no doubt that if I ate earlier, the food would have been great!. There's an awesome alcohol and wine selection as well even though I'm not much of a drinker. It's very conveniently located on route 35 and very close to Red Bank. I live in Freehold but I still come to this Whole Foods even though there's one in the Marlboro area.

I'm so glad to have this shiny, new Trader Joe's closer to where I live. The store is always clean…read moreand the staff are always very nice and friendly. On multiple occasions, I've been greeted by staff upon entering the store. As with most Trader Joe's stores, it is a small grocery store, but there is always some treasure to be discovered. As much as I've tried to deny it, it has been a place to get some essentials and convenience items at a pretty good price. They always come out with some unique, seasonal items and I'm typically upset when they are sold out for the season. However, that's the fun of going to Trader Joe's! If you've read my previous reviews of other Trader Joe's stores, I usually have some sort of complaint about the parking lot. You can't tell me that Trader Joe's doesn't pick the worst section of the parking lot to place their stores. With that being said, the parking lot at this particular Trader Joe's is actually somewhat okay. It is at the end of a strip mall/shopping center, so it's on a corner, but not terrible. Just be sure to pay attention to the signs saying you can't turn in certain directions.

My Mini-Me has been on a Trader Joe's Soup Dumpling kick for about 3 months now, the chicken (red-…read morebox) to be specific. So this past week, we ran out --my goodness this is a disaster of epic proportions, because when you like something,you like something and I had no idea how serious this was. Yes she buys her own and yes I contribute the restock of said dumplings. But ya know... So I just drove to Brick, because I had to shop for my MIL, nope. no dumplings. So I said okay Freehold-- uhh no dumplings. So now I am in a bit of a panic, I drive to Shrewsbury, since I have a Dr's appt I'll stop here, they had one box- now I am really beginning worry- is this a seasonal item? did they discontinue it? So I ask one of the TJ awesome staff if they have any and they said no, But to call Middletown, so I have yet another Dr's appt close by, I call, and low and behold they have plenty... Mom saves the lunch crises once again. NOW, if you have not had these dumplings, you need to buy them, 6 cute little light, airy dumplings that you can steam them in the packaging in your microwave OR in steamer, but MINI-Me takes these to work and pops them in the micro, adds soy sauce, and chili crisp and she is happy. I bought the vegetable and pork, I prefer the pork and chicken flavored dumplings. They are absolutely easy to cook, work in a pinch and are very filling for lunch and they break up the old sandwich / salad crisis, just grab it out of your freezer and take to work. I recommend you give these a try! Huge round of applause to the staff at this TJ store, thank you for being so well stocked.

So obviously, I'm Italian American and I grew up in Newark New Jersey lived in Manhattan for 35…read moreyears and have sampled both all the old world recipes as well as the newfangled Italians. Very few markets excite me since I'm accustomed to seeing all these specialties in every Italian neighborhood, I go to, however, I have to say this shopping experience is one of the most delightful of all the Italian specialty shops I've ever been. Aside from having some of the highest quality of meats, vegetables, seafood, and Italian specialties. I find the service to be delightful. Each and everyone of their staff members are highly trained, pleasant and knowledgeable. I find the price is slightly higher than most, but considering it's a specialty shop, it's to be expected.

I shop here regularly. Very sorry to hear it is one of the stores that the corporation is closing…read more It is really a tale of 2 stores. They get closeouts and other stuff at very good prices. We get cases of Pelegrino Essenza for $12. We get some chips/frozen foods/candy/etc for very good prices. However, the closeouts seem to be a smaller and smaller part of the store. They are now carrying a lot of regular groceries and their own off-brand. THe regular groceries and their off-brands are expensive. I see the prices and can generally beat them at Aldi or Lidl or at the regular supermarket on sale. We use to go every week, but have slowed down to once a month. We will probably hit it up every week until it closes at this point.

This place was an absolute JOKE and THANK GOD it closed! NEVER AGAIN WOULD I WALK INTO A DUMP LIKE THIS

Good variety, smaller market compared to others but it's comfortable and staff is pleasant. They have very good store fried chicken and other prepared foods. Online and curbside is very good.

They have a fantastic selection of hot and cold self serve with wings and salads when in a pinch its a great grab for a decent hot meal like meatloaf or mac n cheese. The produce section has a nice variety and you can buy small amounts which is helpful for a single live alone dude like me. Baked goods and breads are terrific. The Deli counter makes fabulous roast beef and turkey. There is a huge selection of cold beer but the cold wine section is kind of sparse. They do sell liquor but it is not often restocked. Note Foodtown; I've been looking for Midori for weeks its time to restock! I find the meat section limited and a bit pricy along with the sea food section but they do make smaller packages again helpful for smaller households. I do think the grocery and dry good sections are also pricy compared to the other grocery store in Middletown NJ. It's seems like you pay slightly higher cost to offset the convenience of proximity being the only supermarket between Garden State Parkway Exit 117 and Atlantic Highlands or Route 36. They just repaved the parking lot which is helpful since the rainy days would be such a mess in the big pot holes. It's all fixed up now and its a vast improvement. The lot is small near the store but as a whole there are plenty of spots either by the bank, throughout the entire shopping center or the extra commuter lot near the Wilson avenue entrance. I also believe the entire staff is friendly and generally happy a testament to the management team. I've been a patron for years and will continue to frequent this establishment.
