Every time I come here, the checkout lines are like this. 2-3 registers open with at least 10 people waiting in line. The quality of food here is way better than Stop & Shop, however for the sole reason of having to wait 20+ minutes to check out, I'd take my business to Stop & Shop instead.

I do some light grocery shopping there so I'm always in and out especially going through self checkout. But I'm giving a 5☆ rating to the chinese hot bar in the food court. I'm picky when it comes to chinese cuisine and no lie their food is L.E.G.I.T! Lo mein has fresh long noodles with crunchy vegetables. BBQ, sesame, sweet chili chicken, all are tender not dried out. Haven't tried the fried rice yet but looks incredible. For real my go to as well as my daughter and granddaughter is the NOODLES🍜 Highly addictive. Plus you serve yourself put as much as you want then they'll weigh it. Trust you get a lot for the price. Then take it 2go or chill in the dining area. That chinese joint keeps their section nice & clean and when the pans get low they take out the old and replace it with hot & steamy freshly made new pans. That's my low key little honeycomb hideout spot so 🤫. Don't even think it has a name but the food speaks for itself.

The store is fine, but their prepared food isn't good. It's expensive and they use cheap ingredients. I bought the Buffalo chicken wrap and I didn't taste any Buffalo sauce. The turkey, ham, roast beef, and coleslaw wrap had no sauce. The outer wrap tasted like I was eating a piece of paper. The fried chicken in the large black tins is bad chicken.

UPDATE: 5/5/2024THIS ENTRANCE MUST BE WIDEN…When Vehicles Are Entering and Exiting @ the same time the most often almost hit each other.PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND VERY SLOW !My Experience At This Location’s Deli WAS FAR THE WORST EVER….With This Either UNEDUCATED OR UNCIVILIZED DISRESPECTFUL REPRESENTATIVE…..HE, After being asked “ FOR A POUND OF FRESH MEAT” Tried to pull a “3-Card Monty Bait and Switch “ by Mixing the OLD WITH THE NEW” and only after being called out for such his despicable ploy was when I was served his UNCIVILIZED LACK OF MANNERS …….Thereafter, I was made aware that SHOPRITE HAS A POLICY THAT UNOPENED MEAT MUST BE TAKEN IN THE BACK OUT OF THE SIGHT OF THE PATRON TO BE OPENED…….Seems Devoid of Trust and Integrity, especially if handled by this poor sort of SHOPRITE REPRESENTATIVE…..! Please change such policy and representative who handles food products. ( let him sweep the dumpster area out of sight of patrons .

I don’t love the parking lot. I saw a few near accidents while there. The store is huge and has a large selection of food. The staff is friendly and I loved the floral display.

I bought $ 20 and 40 cents of groceries. I gave the cashier a 20- dollar bill and 50 cents. She wanted to check the 20-dollar bill to see if it was real from her manager and wanted me to wait. Ok, then I gave her another $20 bill and took back the first one. (maybe the first one was dirty). She still wanted to check it. Hello ! Any store check $20 bills? Strange lady or strange store!

Poor customer service early morning. The young man running the self check out. Attitude because has to actually do work. If the item has a visible price tag that is attached but rings up wrong. You get annoyed because I ask you to do your job to correct it. If you can't handle early morning hours then don't work them. A hello or how can I assist you goes a long way.

This is not my usual Shop Rite but every was clearly labeled and I found all I was looking for. Interacted with a few staff and they were all helpful and polite

Saker owned "World Class" ShopRites are the worst. I have been to a few of theirs in the area and they are all the same. This South Brunswick location has the worst produce department, they seriously need to get a new produce manager. Week after week, I keep finding rotten loose tomatoes and container tomatoes with mold. (see photo) The bagged lettuce is always full of water like they have been left out in room temperature (more on this below) and if you find a good one with a good date, it doesn't last longer than a day in your fridge. You can see fruit flies flying around the lacking fruit section. I have given up trying to purchase produce here.The bakery department, which seems all outsourced, doesn't have a good selection of items compared to other grocery stores. Last December, they had stacks of burnt pies out for sale. Really? (see photo) Honestly, just take a trip to the non Saker owned Village ShopRite in Hillsborough or Stop & Shop in Franklin and you can see the difference.The overall store layout is confusing and lacking variety. If you shop at night, head over to the dairy and frozen section to see new perishable stock just sitting on the floor at room temperature for hours, defrosting and spoiling until the 1 employee eventually gets to that isle to start putting the items away.Lastly, I can't be the only one annoyed of the textured tile flooring in the deli and bakery section. It gets so loud with all the shopping carts banging and rattling all around. There are people that are sensitive to sound so why even make that choice of flooring?I dread having to go here to pick something up. My friends and family all agree that they rather go to Target or Aldi, which is in the same complex, to buy their groceries.

I was happy at first that there was a new SR closer to home, but after frequenting this particular one my feelings have taken shape.The deli: The display is welcoming however, you cannot request a sample if you are on a tight budget. Plus the help behind the counter weren't the friendliest when trying to explain the Saker rule. Basically: "we can't let you sample, too bad. Next." So I decided not to purchase but walk away 😌. The manager, Henrietta must have been listening and as I walked away disappointed she was following from behind the counter and approach to explained and apologize for the miscommu and rudeness. Upon her explanation I decided to purchase. It was an excellent save. She has exceptional people skills and was delightfully professional. Most SRs will allow you to sample. But here it's about money in my opinion. And I am watching the little bit of💵 I have to make it go a long way.The seafood: The display is welcoming and can use a little more color. Most fish are fresh!But here is an unknown fact to the shopper: Ice has weight. For example if you are buying snow crab legs they will not rinse the ice off and you will pay for the ice weight. In my opinion this is not fair to the customer. Additionally, most of the time the legs in the freezer have been there so long that they are freezer burned and cannot be eaten. This needs improvement.The meats: This department rocks! Meats are always fresh, help is always available and friendly advice with what's the best type of cut to use for a certain dish. Poultry packages are not packed with fat hidden underneath the meat which also has weight. This is a true and fair purchase.I have not experienced the bakery or floral department so staytuned for an update to this assessment.Checkout: Can use an attitude adjustment. Most of the clerks I've experienced really do not want to be cashier clerks. So I wind up self-checking out the very few items in between weeks.Overall: Most employees are friendly, professional and helpful. Like anywhere else there are a few that shouldn't be in customer service. Once a month I faithfully spend about $250 at this South Brunswick ShopRite. Prices appear to be slightly higher. Last week I shopped at Aldi's for the 1st time and spent $91 for the same amount of produce. My wallet was doing a happy dance💃.Please stay safe everyone and remember to:1. Wear your masks 😷 and,2. Use hand sanitizer if you cannot immediately wash your hands, and3. Practice social distancing 6 feet apart.4. Slow down

Chicken section smells rotten every time I go in there. It’s covered in old rancid chicken juice… I’ve made the mistake of taking some chicken home anyway but could not bear the smell. Also so many items I’ve found past their expiration date. Disgusting and unsanitary

This is the ONLY place I can find these Stuffed Mushrooms! Boy these are good, save you tons of money buying them as appetizers from Red Lobster, when Red Lobster food is not the same anymore. The store is always clean and fresh unique soup everyday.

Personally, I really like this shoprite, always with a good selection of everything you can imagine in a grocery store. However, a week ago, a very strict policy regarding self-service check-outs was implemented. Therefore, many of these were closed, and those that are open never function properly. The scale on the counter where the products must be placed never matches the right amount, making it necessary to call the area employee several times. I no longer feel like doing self check-out, so I look for a cashier to hand over the purchases to me. I don't understand what the company owners are thinking, for me it's complete nonsense, this way the pennies they will save with shoplifters will be spent twice as much on open human cashiers.

Was racially profiled there. Purchased items that was reported as per food journal that shoprite may had beef linked to salmonella. I even showed him the article on my smart phone. Receipt in tow the night manager Joseph M was rude, disrespectful, and racist! He rudely asked if I was insane! Then he refuse to honor a refund and threaten to call the police on me! I'm currently filing a lawsuit just because of his disgraceful and unprofessional behavior. I have not been back to this store since this incident happened on Sept 4 2023 at South Brunswick Hertitage Square.

I've been shopping here for years and I've always taken my groceries thru self checkout no matter how many I had because I like to bag them myself at my own pace. Then all of the sudden they change it so that you can only go thru self checkout with 20 items or less and actually enforce it. If that's how it's going to be I'll shop somewhere else

Do NOT eat their salad bar!!! I got some greens from their salad bar on Tuesday Aug 1st 2023, which was the only meal I ate by myself within past several days. I started to feel uncomfortable on Tuesday night, eventually turned out to be a really bad stomach flu. Have called out for 2 days. For your own safety, avoid their salad bar!

I had a very negative experience today With cashier Myles at Register 4. He not only neglected to help with bagging my groceries. He stated he needed to wait until all items were paid, review every item that was scanned on his screen and THEN he can put a paid sticker on just TWO large soda cans. I have never in my life experienced this. Not only was I embarrassed in front of other customers but his methodology as a "cashier" was egregious and unacceptable. He didn't even say thank you. As if I had no competence as to what he was doing. I have been a consumer at ShopRite for decades and SPENT thousands. Never seen such discriminatory and callous behavior. He does not need to be employed by ShopRite and I will be calling corporate

Service was horrible . After spending more than $500 on groceries cashier never bothered asking or helping me bag my groceries. Instead he was to busy tossing a toy up and down and looking at his phone. As I was walking out of the store most of the employees are on their phones . Very sad management need to step up and have a talk with their employees .

Wow, what a nice store! Well stocked, friendly workers, this store has it all! We were very impressed at deli counter..they actually cut the cold cuts the way we asked for them. Doesn't happen at their other store. They should use this as a training store.

Overall experience prior today was good.There is nothing new about the storea, but it's the behavior of the employees which leaves lasting impression.Today experienced that around 5:30Pm the associate at the live lobsters counter was very rude.There are polite ways of talking but the guy is really very rude.Witnessed this before also from the same old man

This review is specifically for Christa from floral department. She is amazing and very artistic. She is Very professional and skilled. Was able to make a very specific flower arrangement just like the way I wanted. Definitely recommend ShopRite as a store and their floral department

Great store at a very convenient location.But what’s with the Bowl and Basket brands? The chicken smells like someone pooped on the trays leaving a strong lingering odor on your hands and in the car!!Even the B&B potatoes lack fine taste. If they are making an in store brand they need to realize that it’s inferior quality reflects on the Shoprite brand as whole.
