So I ran in to get cupcakes (most delicious ones) but they only had one tray and not very birthday like. So the bakery employee came over and told me she can whip some up if I take my time shopping. I came back and they were so beautiful. Most stores would say that's all we have but she wanted to make me happy. Kudos to her and I'm really upset that I didn't get her name but she had black long hair with some gray and glasses. This was 3:45pm on 7/19/24 and the store was super busy but she was amazing !! Thank you so so much you made my birthday special. read more

Big Y - Cupcakes from Big Y - Great Barrington MA - Grocery Near Me - Great Barrington, Massachusetts

I do love visiting stores to see how the other half live. Plenty of parking, a friendly welcoming store with doors open to customers with a lovely display of produce. Flyer available gives info on sales and prices in general. Often I find a lot of bargains. Unfortunately, I think the pandemic has hit all communities and prices are up everywhere. Its a clean store, with a number of areas where you can get lunch or dinner. Are they good? Maybe next time I'll get some. read more

This is a very decent sized supermarket. they have lots of room, multiple aisles, and a great selection on food. They had plenty of sales which was a great for me as a visitor to the area. The Big Y discount members card was very easy to get (unlike other supermarkets around the area). The only issue was the TERRIBLE cell reception in the building. We had to physically go outside to make an account. No biggie. Their produce section is very nicely stocked with lots of variety. They have a whole area just for organic foods. there is a huge selection of meats. They have a nice deli and bakery area too. I will say, I was a bit disappoint in their prepared foods, but perhaps that is just what their customer base wants. There isn't a whole lot going on in the prepared foods that is very satisfactory. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was overall a very nice place to shop read more

This Big Y has everything you could ever want and need and always top quality produce.

Today I had a horrible experience after I had a problem using my ebt card at self checkout. After I would not let the dark hair lady at customer service reswipe my card as I already had paid, she publicly shouted in front of the store to "get a job, I shouldn't be using food stamps in the first place". Wow OK well I will never ever be shopping here again. A manager said they would call me about this incident but never did. Shout out to the dark hair lady with racoon eyes at customer service. May you always remain blessed. read more

We bought a lb of their German Potato salad, and someone literally chewed portions of it and then spit it back in the case, and served it to us! Will NEVERA BUY ANY OF THE DELI FOOD AGAIN! read more

Big Y is wonderful. We had to cater a wedding brunch and we needed a good white fish salad for our out-of-town visitors and Big Y was the best!! Highly recommend!! read more

Our home away from home during this pandemic season, always has everything we need. How often have people asked me -- Did you get this (delicious item) at Guido's (referring to the pretentious supermarket that caters to city types) and I proudly answer, I only shop at Le Grand Ygreque. And so does 'Mr. Big' (actor Chris Noth) who was spotted filling his cart in Gt Barrington! read more

Was placed on a never ending hold on the pizza line. Just wanted to order pizza for my business, gave up after 20 mins of holding. Women in the deli department are rude. read more

I was shopping at this Big Y today. I was looking for a particular bakery item and couldn't find it. I asked a bakery worker for the item. He very nicely went to the back of the bakery and found the exact item I was looking for. He was so pleasant and accommodating. He went above and beyond to help me out. This Big Y in particular always has the most pleasant and helpful staff. Thank you to the young man in the bakery department for all your help! read more

Big Y is just a much better version of nearly every supermarket you've ever shopped. Take Whole Foods (way more expensive), Wegman's (best of all worlds), and Trader Joes (specialized) out of the equation, and you're left with a super pleasant supermarket with great service and a broader than average food selection. Highlights are the seafood and meat counters, which, on some cuts/varieties, give Guido's (right next door) a run for its money. The produce area is just massive and they always seem to be restocking (a good thing). The fresh bread and baked goods area (hang a right as soon as you walk in) has too many yummy offerings to list and the deli counter (in the same area) moves super fast so you rarely need to wait to be served Put simply, it's a pleasure to shop at the Big Y. read more

I've been coming here, with my mom, since before I could walk (also with my dad, but less often). There are few stores more intertwined with my childhood than this Big Y. I loved coming here (I still do); they had (might still have) a 'Cookie Club', where any child could (can?) go to the bakery to get a free cookie. Great food options, good deals. Back in the day there was a bathroom that most people didn't know about (I'm not sure it was 'open' to the public); my dad would always take me back there to use the facilities. As small-bladdered men, we always like to have access to the facilities. A few years ago the store underwent massive improvements. It is much larger and more 'modern'. I still love coming here, although since I don't live in Sheffield it isn't very frequent. This is a great place to buy your groceries. read more

I am wild about the Big Y market and would almost move to Great Barrington just to live nearby. Roughly 2 years ago they redid the market, creating an out door market feel....the most pristine fruits and veggies, cheeses and meats, in a updated setting. The bathrooms are almost like those in a restaurant or catering hall. Great pizza area, fountain soda and take out sushi, lobster rolls and fresh seafood. Prices are great. But the best part is the coin slot machine game at the end of one order per day...you get a chance to win a gold or silver coin...yipee !!!! Clean, well stocked. Also a great cake section and plants,flowers and outdoor potted plants at incredible prices. Can you tell how much I love The Big Y?.. read more

Manager Steve allows maskless shopping and explicitly notes there is nothing he can do to prevent those unwilling to comply with the MA mask guidelines. Big Y's presentation as a safe place to shop is hollow. read more

I remember this Big Y back in the 80s and 90s. Imagine: Where Big Y and Stapes are now, it was one relatively small Big Y flanked by a large Ames. (Oh...Ames...how I miss you!) With the turnover of businesses and renovations made in that shopping plaza over the past few years, Big Y has obviously reaped the benefits. On a long weekend in Connecticut while visiting my parents, I went next door to Guido's to pick up a few things, yet I didn't want to pay and arm and a leg for some ice cream and blueberries, so off to Big Y I went to buy the rest of my haul. DAMN. This place is a behemoth! Far gone are small aisles and dim florescent lights to what is, easily, a 50,000 square foot grocery paradise. They now have an in-store wine and liquor section that is absolutely larger than my NYC apartment! The aisles are wide, the fixtures are sleek, and any shopper can find anything they need. I use very little hyperbole here. The Super Stop & Shop in my hometown pales in comparison; I may have to make the 15 minute drive up here from now on! How I wish I still had my Big Y card from college. I miss using the gold and silver coins! Ha! Note, and a damn useful one at that: Bring your own bags, or you'll be using paper bags. They no longer use plastic bags. I did not know that, and carrying out two paper bags in wet snow was an adventure, wondering if I'd make it from the entrance and back to my mother's car with both bags still in tact. I did, but it was a close call. *phew* read more

Your typical grocery store in your oh-so-typical small town America. The perk? Discount Six Flags New England tickets/passes. Go Big Y! Oh yeah, and get the discount card, it rocks! read more

This used to be a great supermarket. Not anymore. They have done away with many major brands and push their own. Shelves are empty much of the time. They enlarged their wine/liquor department which meant taking away an awful lot of space for grocery items. Trying to get answers from their in store managers as to why they are out of so many items doesn't produce any answers. Writing directly to Big Y corporate gets no acknowledgment or response. No more Big Y for me. Guidos and Price chopper seem to be the winners. read more

The prices are very good. And a nice layout and the staff is very friendly And your Great Barrington store is a very store

I miss the days of smaller grocers. And I wish more local and organic produce was available here, though more appears every year. The fish is fresh (delivered every day), with a good selection and knowledgeable staff. Meats are fresh and appealing and can be cut or trimmed to order free of charge. The floral department is varied and offers a wide variety of stock in a good price range. The pharmacy staff is GREAT! And in general the store is clean and well stocked. I actually enjoy shopping here. read more

Truly one of the best Produce sections of all the Big Y's in this region!

The absolute worst. They advertise a Thanksgiving dinner special. When you go to the store to order, they tell you they ran out. This is MORE THAN ONE WEEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING. How is it possible they can't get more supplies more than a week before the holiday? I live very near and shop there all the time, but I WILL NEVER SHOP THERE AGAIN. I'll drive across town to Price Chopper. At least Price Chopper always makes good on their advertising. Bad bad bad. read more

Probably a bit biased as I worked here on weekends for three months a while ago, but I love Big Y. Shopped there before I worked there and still shopped there after I quit. Amazing customer service and a brilliant place to work. The staff is always on hand to help and the managers are brilliant. The store has such a large variety, which is why I love it over Price Chopper. It has pretty much anything you want groceries wise. The pizza is great as well as the fish bar. They even have a organic section which I think is great as you don't have to go to two separate stores as I know sometimes I would do. The bakery area is amazing as well. Their fresh bread, try it! read more

The Bakery: I ordered a full sheet cake, yellow cake, whipped cream frosting, decorated with pink roses, over the phone. The cake was extremely fresh and decorated with an artistic spray of roses, very beautiful. Only $50 and it was perfection! read more

Everytime we drive up to see our family in Syracuse, we always stop at this Big Y to pic up some fresh stromboli or grinders. Seriously, as with most of the world, I have honestly underestimated super market food just from terrible past experiences which have left me and my bowel dehydrated! The stromboli are made fresh and so are the grinders! The prices are awesome (both less than $5 and if you buy a foot long grinder sometimes you get a free bottle of water!). You could get an even better price if you use a gold or silver coin! Everything in the store is always so organized, I love it! They really do make a HUGE effort to keep things looking in tip top shape, and it shows! We can't wait to try another awesome stromboli next time! read more

Great selection for a chain supermarket. You can also go to the fish department and get them to fry you up something fresh for lunch or dinner. Big bonus!!! read more

Great store for a supermarket size building that initially looks typical. We have called for special butchers cuts (Argentine cut short ribs) and they accommodated us while shopping. We have ordered cakes also accommodated with friendly attitude. They have silver loyalty card which is easy to sign up for and gets us 5-10 dollars of value every trip for a 50-100 dollar ticket. Only issue in GB location is my phone does not have any service in the store. read more

Love this big y! All the great gluten free options keep us going here over other grocery stores in the area. Check out is always fast and friendly! read more

My husband loves this supermarket.....the best around. Big selection, clean and super friendly and accommodating.

this store puts its customers first unlike the other local grocery store in town. Always can find what I am looking for and they have a huge selection. The staff are always very friendly and take the time to say Hello even just in passing. read more

The butchers in the meat department are 5 star. I needed beef spare ribs and they cut them for my order within minutes. Fabulous and beyond my expectations. They deserve praise and a pay raise. read more
