My family has lived in Hicksville for over 40 years and we have been frequenting that shopping center for that long. We used to shop that supermarket when it was Trunz. That being said my mom went in there last week on either Thursday or Friday with my niece and nephew to get them some snacks and herself dinner for the evening. She went to the deli counter and a young man rang a bell to get the attention of the deli clerk that they had a customer. Out walked a young Hispanic male with dark curly hair and he said, "Can I help you sir?" He was polite at least and my mom got hurt, but she was just gonna move on l. Yes she has short hair, but she was dressed as a typical senior citizen female. She replied with a curt, "I am a woman." To which the young man proceeds to laugh in her face and kept laughing. She was devastated. She walked away, purchased some milk, left the store with my niece and nephew and proceeded to cry in her car. She calmed down, collected herself, and went home. She told my sisters and one of them called and complained to the manager on duty. He was all apologies and said he would look into it. Whether he does or not, I really don't care because my family is no longer going to be going to Key Food again. Maybe that's harsh or an overreaction, but all we can do is withhold our business and hope that they are more aware of the caliber of people they hire in the future.

This store is definitely smaller than its competitors but if you're only coming here for a couple of items, it'll do its job. The aisles are narrow but the store is never that crowded. The worst part is the parking lot. It takes longer to find a spot than to shop more often than not. The staff is friendly. Sale items tend to be pushed towards the front or on end caps. Prices for certain items (Entenmann's, Stella Doro, meat, cereal) are lower than other stores in the area. Meanwhile other everyday items are more expensive here than elsewhere. Store is clean. It has a little of everything (including a paleo/gluten-free section in the baking aisle). Not a bad place to go if you need something quick.

Horrible, humiliating experience. It might as well have been called the "Vending Machine Syndrome"…read more Post-shopping, I used the first machine at the self-checkout. I gave the machine 20$--and man, was that the worst thing I could have ever done. Not only did it NOT register the money I gave it, the whole machine froze for a good while. I called out to the staff person managing the checkout center, to which I was told "someone will assist you soon." I spent almost twenty minutes waiting at the checkout for someone to "assist" me, the line's growing longer behind me, and I'm getting anxious from staff members looking at my situation, talk to the previous staff members, then disappear somewhere. Finally, a person who I assume to be the technician opened the check-out station, retrieved the money stuck far in the machine, gave me a receipt, and...that was it. No apologies, not even a "Thank you, please come again" from anyone, not from him, the store manager who popped by, nor the managing staff. After the aggravating Vending Machine Syndrome experience, a quick word would have made all the difference. Terrible store, terrible staff, and terrible customer service.

Well designed and set in a perfect location, this store can become a staple in the community. Inside the store is beautiful! It is organized and very inviting for shoppers. It definitely takes shopping to new heights. But shopping down the aisle required some guidance, however, the staff was friendly or really helpful at all. I went to the Indianan food counter and got the attention of a employee to help. I took the chicken taki taki, because I've tried it before. Once my shopping was complete, I left for home with my dinner in hand. The chicken was good. It wasn't anything to brag about; I did like it. I mean, trust me I finished it, so that says a lot.

Gigi ( the G pronounced like in Give) was 15 feet away and I got a big hug and we talked about working out and our diets. Steve spotted me with Gigi and came over and wished me. There are smiles everywhere and a fun atmosphere as the new employees saw this and fed off the energy and the tone. My namesake Ray also hugged me and asked about my Mom. Elena the Manager is the absolute best - she personally catered( from her pocket) a meal for homeless Veterans in NY in 2023. The products are amazing- yes. The variety and quality is tremendous We all know that. The prices are awesome.

An unintended side effect of this journey is seeing which grocery store has the best overall shopping experience and vibe, regardless of chicken. Stew Leonards is UNQUESTIONABLY my pound for pound #1 grocery store in the country, with Market Basket and Buc-ee's (if you count it as a grocery store) being a distant 2 and 3. I knew I was in good hands when I approached the entrance and saw huge text etched in a stone at the front of the store that read "Our Policy: Rule #1 The customer is always right! Rule #2 If the customer is ever wrong, read rule #1!" Legendary. Stew Leonard's is like if a prime Chuck-E-Cheese and Disneyland had a baby (great genetics). It's a true immersive shopping experience. As you wander through the one-way isle throughout the store, you will encounter singing and dancing animatronic robots, a banana on a skateboard that starts singing if you hit the "press here" button, a plush Goofy toy doing constant "flips for customers" as it hangs from the ceiling, an "Ashton Hall's Favorite Water" sign above the Saratoga water cases, etc. All I could think about was how I would LOVE to bring my 1 year old nephew here. There is just so much soul in Stew Leonard's. Along the path, there are stands for products including but not limited to hot buttered lobster rolls, fresh squeeze orange juice, fresh made apple cider donuts, fresh live lobsters, freshly made mozzarella, smash burgers, pizza, tacos, sushi, and a candy shop. It's like walking through a state fair. The rotisserie chicken, sadly, ended up being middywap. A whole tissi ran $7.99 and it ended up landing at 7.7/10, which currently ranks it 40th out of 79 grocery store birds I've tried, but it's way bigger than the bird.
