You must experience this place! You name it, they have it. Great prices even though tarriffs have inflated many imported items.

Farmers market located in Paterson. The parking is an adventure. There is a lot of it but it was a traffic jam. Be prepared for that. They had a lot of selections in the market. Plenty of fruits and vegetables, a butcher, deli, frozen foods, and more. No shortage of options. My complaint here is the crowd. It's nuts in there. Got pushed and shoved a few times and you feel rushed. If only this place was larger with more room for people and carts. read more

This place would get 10 stars if I could. My mother lost her handbag there. These kind people took custody of the bag and kept it safe until I could get her back there to reclaim. Nice the entire time and yes all the $ and cc's were there. Thank you thank you thank you - there should be more honest people like you in this world. read more

Prices are really good for Middle Eastern staples. Tons of produce, all for really good prices. Bread fresh and soft and still warm from the bakery. Free parking. That said. Don't bring your own bags. They give you reusable bags to use. This place is an absolute mad house on weekends. This isn't a good time to be casually browsing while you get your stuff. Know what you want, and go and get it. It's best if you go with another person if you want to get out quickly. Have one person hold the cart off to a side where it's not super jammed, and have the other person run down the aisle and grab what you want. There are some veg that are higher cost than the typical prices you'd pay at other grocery stores, so do keep an eye on unit prices. read more

I just wanted to say thank you very much to Brothers Produce Staff. I lost my wallet around the parking lot and did not realize it until the following day. Called in the morning to check, was told one of their staff picked it up. Collected it and everything was in intact. Made me to believe in the goodness of humanity! read more

I've had good experiences here. Cashiers and managers were friendly and helpful. The shop has a manageable footprint. Pros: An array of fruits and vegetables Seasonal foods Great prices They supply bags Several parking lots as well as street parking Cons: Can get super busy and difficult to move around Ambiance is Paterson produce market, and I love that. read more

It doesn't matter old or new crew at the deli they are all nasty and it is already crowded but you have workers all over the floor who makes it more difficult to get around.. not good management well you gonna say management is nasty read more

This is one of the best value for your money supermarkets I think I have ever been to. Simply put you will not fid better prices and this much fresh produce under one roof anywhere. It can feel hectic and fast paced so get in and get out and don't linger or stroll around this is really a NO FRILLS supermarket. They have a huge range of common and exotic fruits, veggies, some teas, milk and kefir, cheeses, sweets and snacks. Don't be intimidated by the look of the long lines at the check out, they move quickly and the low price at the end will be worth the minute or two wait. Looking for a bargain definitely check them out! read more

The variety and freshness of their fruits and produce are amazing. Prices are reasonable. If you want a selection of different types of dates they have an amazing selection. Lots of Middle Eastern foods along with everything else you normally want. Customer service is so so. It is a different style and if you accept it for what it is, you get along fine. read more

Full of fresh produce, exotic products, and surprisingly not full of people on this day. Ive heard it becomes a mad house. The prices are great for in season fruits and veggies. Things that arent in season are not worth it, so be open to whatever is abundant. They also had two prices for strawberries. One brand was $7.99 and the one next door was $4.99. Neither was organic so pay attention. Aside from being price savvy while shopping, give yourself time to explore the pantry isles. I saw so many "new to me" products that Id never have noticed had I not strolled up and down, and looked high and low. Candy covered chick peas that look like little brains, all kinds of flours, lots of jarred condiments that look so tasty! Especially the Turkish foods. Ill be back. read more

Madhouse and difficult to get around, even outside where the bins are because of how many people are there. Armed security guard complete with vest who acts like police, i assume as some sort of intimidation tactic. Dude, I know we're in Paterson but who exactly do you think is going to come into this store? Politely but firmly told me I can't bring an outside bag (with shopping I did up the block) into the store. No alternative given (you can check the bag with management until you're done, etc). How are people who are shopping around the area, who maybe have to park blocks away, supposed to come inside and give Brothers their money? I didn't argue, I just left, and (probably) won't be back. I'm (well, was planning on) spending money in your store, I don't want to feel like a criminal, and be inconvenienced as well. Seems like management expects customers to cater to them via the other way around. read more

First of all, I don't know how this place is still open, the customer service skills are very lacking, and it gets overly crowded that it is insane, minimal parking, and most of the cashiers that work there are just rude and arrogant, there are some areas in the store that are clean but other areas it's just messy, it's just a bunch of greed is all I see, I don't recommend people shopping here at all... read more

Very bad customer service, rude, mean, and unprofessional with the clients. The new owners and the female manager should take a class of politeness. read more

Absolutely the worst customer service. Bought a what I thought was seedless watermelon with a sticker on it . Called as soon a I cut it open. Spoke to Ahmed who was with a manager and said since I cut it open they can't refund me. How else would I know that it has seeds especially when it had a seedless watermelon sticker on it. I have been going to them for many years and just Disgusted how they treat their customers I once saw the owner actually get into a fistfight with a young man. read more

You go to this place you feel like you are in war zone the cashiers very rude the managers are worst if you complain about something they will yelled on your face no respect for customers at all they have a security not like ant regular security but he's from SWAT team with whole arsenal around him and he's involved in any thing l was talking to the cashier and he came straight towards me and said to me ok relax when I try explain he interrupted me waiving his hand to stop I told him I'm not fighting with her and told him are guys declaring martial law in this place his answer was yes read more

The stars are well deserved by the store manager Mr. Magidi, who handled a difficult situation proactively, effectively with a cheerful and supportive attitude. The place is always very busy, over the years they were able to organize an optimal flow of the crowd, which is very impressive. Apparently, the neighborhood is not the safest one - they have taken extra measures to keep customers safe from the theft - but mind your pocketbook! The security guards on duty may not be able to prevent someone opening your backpack, if you are not paying attention. Low prices, fresh produce, for the most part, Middle Eastern specialties, local baked goods - I always leave with a cart full of great food and a $40 bill at a checkout. Love coming here! Today, a mistake was made at a checkout, I was overcharged by a cashier in training (my purchase was attached to the next person's checkout; by the way - the cashier was the nicest most helpful guy, who told me about the produce in season and what can be cooked with it...). When I discovered the discrepancy and came back to the store - Mr. Magidi, the manager, had my receipt in his hand, he knew the amount by heart and had all the information on his computer screen. He said, that they discovered the mistake almost immediately after I left and hoped I would come back soon - he would have kept the receipt for three months, I was told. I was refunded quickly and courteously, all while juggling constant happenings in a very busy store. Great Job! Thank you. read more

Good selection of produce at reasonable prices. Halloumi cheese and Pitas cost about half of what you'd pay at a regular supermarket. That's a reason to go right there. I just wish they would let you use your own bags, instead of the heavy-duty reusable ones they hand out. That's so wasteful! Lot's of checkout lanes open when I was there (5PM on a weekday), so I was in and out quickly. read more

I once bought their fruits and vegies but it almost wasted because it doesn't last long. Now I came here just to buy spices and halal beef bacon. But the last time I bought beef bacon, it was extremely disappointed. They gave me all fat bacon (almost no meat). The store it self very dirty with not enough room to stand without someone bumped you. read more

Dont buy food from here. You will get sick. http://patersontimes.com/2019/10/11/paterson-shoppers-told-to-throw-away-food-bought-from-brothers-produce-after-confirmed-hepatitis-a-case/ Horrible customer service and after asking for your rights, you have been called a thief. I always purchases their products many years but recently, life of the fruits and veggies are no more than 2 days. There are two managers a women and the owner i am assuming, they treat people disrespectfully. They also treat their employees horribly. I just found out about no refund and return policy. Well not a surprise. I have brought their expired products many times and as an answer of a thank you, but, the product that i purchased currently in a horrible quality, sadly no refunds and exchanged even that was purchasethe same day. Make sure take a look at other businesses around that have either better or similar products. You will win either way. read more

Augusta. One of the managers in this store put me down as a person after I bought food. At the store,i saw my mother in a line for a purchase .I was looking for her to give money . She had no money to buy this food. After purchase and I had my receipt , I went toward her to tell that I am here and to give her money. The cashier start to scream at me and my mother try to explain to her but nobody heard us and night time manager tried to kick me out of the store as I did something wrong. Maybe, there were accidents of stealing in this store but I have nothing to do with it. If I leave this store, my mother would not able to make a purchase. I was offended and put down. I don't want to eat products from this store. I want return my money back and a manager start to kick me out not even asking me to show him a receipt and did not want to return me money. He doesn't know how to speak to people, to costumers and women at all. Because of his Ego that a woman try to defend herself against such person as he is. And I or other people have a right to defend themselves. read more

THEY DON'T HAVE RESPECT TO COSTUMERS! I went to the Brother Produce of NJ today. I brought my own shopping bags like usual, but the security guy at the door did not allow me to enter to the shop. He said that I could not bring my own bags, as it was the store's policy. He added that they offer free bags at the checkout. I said that I did not want extra bags, even if they were not plastic, they are still harmful to the environment since they are not recyclable. I wanted to use my own bags, but he did not let me in the store and raised his voice. I asked nicely to explain the reason for the store policy. Why they did not let people use their own bags? He did not give any explanation but said over and over: "It is a store policy!" I said that I didn't understand their rule and asked to talk to the manager. A man came to the entrance saying that he was the owner. I tried to explain the situation and asked let me into the store with my bags, but he started to shout at me, saying over and over, "It is a policy!" He even insulted me and my intelligence, saying that I have a 2-year-old's understanding! All I was asked was a reasonable explanation about the store policy. In the end, the owner and the security guy confiscated the shopping cart that I use and the produce in my own shopping bags and throw me out of the store. According to the bag ban in NJ, shoppers will need to bring their own reusable bags store, but the Brothers Produce of NJ did not allow people to bring their bags. The Brothers give hundreds of cheap, low-quality cloth bags every day to their customers and don't follow the Bag Ban. In addition, they act rude, insult and throw people who want to bring their own shopping bags. Besides, this is a free country, everyone should be able to bring their bags in any store, and no one should execute ridiculous store policies. I filed and an official complaint to ask for NJ Consumer Affairs to give an official warning to Brothers Produce of NJ to allow customers to bring their own bags and show respect to people. I follow up the complaint, I hope it will work. read more

Best grocery store around. 1) They have the most affordable Turkish and Arabic goods around. 2) They have the best selection of Turkish wafers. Extremely cheap. My Fiorella Crunch Wafer (sounds Italian, but it is Turkish) cost me a buck. 3) Great place to buy fresh vegtables. read more

Don't shop there. They have a very bad customer service I ever seen. I went there done my shopping then went to the cashier which is a young lady and another young guy do the baking. I asked for extra bag for my stuff which is he baked a lot off canned food in one bag he was rude as hell and refused . A manager came with a also refused and wants to charge me for bag. Forgot to mention that they denied me to i enter the store cuz I had my own bag. Wen I had a little argument with the manager the security guy who is thinking him self a police guy came running and started yelling. And treating to handcuffs me. They have over priced products and bad attitude with very bad customer service. DONT SHOP THERE ...... read more

Great selection of produce and compared to The regular grocery I go to - great prices! The line are very long on Sundays and if you know you will need a cart, get it outside before you walk in. It is hard to find one later. read more

Great priced and fruits and vegetables last for long. Great value. We come all the way from New York. Tolls and gas and still save money and enjoy quality read more

Not a safe place to shop: You would think, they will put their act together after the outbreak of Hepatitis that started at the store especially at the time of COVID 19 Pandemic, but no, they did not learn anything from it. When we were there, we noticed all the workers either not wearing a mask at all or having it at the chin (just a decor) with no regard to the social distancing executive order whatsoever. When we approached the cashier, we asked her to put on her mask, but she refused saying it was hot, (it was not). When we ask for the manager, a woman who stood behind her said she was the manager and instead of instructing the cashier to put her mask up, she removed the mask she had at her chin. Then two men appeared from behind the scene with the same signature mask style at the chin wanted to talk to me. I asked the loud one to put his mask up before coming closer yelling at me, but he got angry and asked me to leave using the F word. I told him, I will call the police and report the store to the Department of Health, he replied: I do not care and talk to the hand. I filled a report with local police and DOH. read more

I spoke to this nasty manager called Craemah, because I forget 2 bags of okra and I went back to to tell her that I left my bags after I paid. She looked at me & shouted I DONT HAVE TIME FOR YOU. I had to wait for the cashier until she came back from lunch to proof it to her & she still doesn't care. If there is negative stars, I would give them . They are very nasty. read more

it's neither a farmers market nor a grocery store. more like a mini warehouse store. it is a "produce store" and it is august but no yellow squash, no zuccinni, the kind of tomatoes grown under tarps, no fresh basil (in a plastic container). however, if you want massive watermelons for cheap, huge jars of everything under the sun, the quality of produce you can find in a grocery store for slightly less (but more shoving and rudeness) than this is for you. read more

Never have I been to a place where the fruits and veggies are sooo cheap. Im talking super cheap... 12 limes for $1, Pineapple $2, Grapefruit 4 for $1.25, Romaine Lettuce $2, 2lb onion 99 cent, Watermelon .25 per lb!!! The prices are insanely cheap and it taste good too for the most part. Not everything was good though, the oranges were soft and seemed rotten and a few other things buts thats to be expected at these prices. Just examine carefully and youll be fine. I spent $13 here (see pix) and at Pathmark it could have easily been over $30 bux. After just one trip I dont think Ill buy produce from anywhere else. The entire block where the store is located has a few other produce, fish, and meat markets but I havent checked those out yet. read more

For someone who loves cooking with fresh produce this is the spot for me! They have the best deals too and the produce is very fresh which is a bonus when you are getting such a good deal. The owner started off with one stall and now has many stalls outside and a grocery store inside. Check it out! read more

This is our mainline source for volume fruits and veggies, direct from the Bronx Terminal Market, at almost wholesale prices. Way better than any of the other produce markets on Railway Ave. In the summer and fall they source internationally, regionally and locally and as a result, the variety increases dramatically (as do the bargains). Everything is priced to move, because a lot of their inventory is ready for consumption NOW. The produce has a definite Arabic/Latino profile, so don't be looking for English peas or asian pears here. With a few exceptions (like apples, and root veggies) we buy what we can consume within a few days to avoid spoilage. The Middle Eastern flavored market appeals to virtually every regional food tradition, with exotic spicing, nuts, cheeses, breads, packaged sweets, condiments, oils and the like. You can buy sumac here by the pound and Lebanese olive oil by the gallon. If the parking situation, amenities and traffic both inside and outside the store were better, I'd give it five stars, but then again, the hassle is part of the cultural immersion at this place. read more

The meat from this place is horrible- I used to buy my weekly Grocery from this place ( about 100 a week). then one day I found out thing in the Ground beef. (let's say it was NOT meat ) apparently, they ground anything and everything and mix it with Ground meat. I have written to the board of health and they will follow up with this place. Just amazing how stupid people try to take advantage of honest people. Please share this with everyone . read more

This is seriously the place to go for your weekly vegetables , fruits and deli meat ! They have the best selection of cheese as well ! Parking in the back. Very imp about the carts, sometimes you need to grab the cart from the parking lot (read: follow people who will give you once they are done lol) instead of the cart line,They need some more seriously. Avoid on Sundays if possible. Happy shopping. read more

Only downfall is the checkout time is extremely long ! If only this was in Brooklyn ... read more
