TLDR - if you value your time and dignity, AVOID THIS PLACE. i have shopped here on numerous occasions over the years and have not had any real issues until today. The lines have always been insanely long, but recently i visited with my 3 kids and we purchased 3 carryon suitcases from the Express Lane. Normally, if you have less than 10 items, you can join the Express Lane at the front cash register. Today, i and another patron joined the Express Lane as we each had less than ten items. We were waiting in the line for about 5 minutes when a manager (a heavyset lady with locs) came up and aggressively told me and the other patron to leave the Express Lane and join the regular line, saying the Express Lane is closed. Her demeanor was rude, and she didn't explain, but i and the other lady reluctantly walked toward the regular line. It dawned on me that maybe this worker had no idea what she was talking about especially since i've used the Express before, so i and the other lady rejoined the Express Line. The Aggressive Worker returned to use her arms to block us from joining the Express Line, telling us that she was taking other folks off the Regular Line to join the Express Line. Now how tf does that make sense to us who were *also waiting*??? There WAS ZERO SIGN AND ZERO REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY SHE WAS BLOCKING US. She tried to say we were "skipping the line" - HOW ARE WE SKIPPING THE LINE IF WE JOINED IT AT THE END, DUMBASS LADY? i will NEVER RETURN here. i and my family, along with the other patron were paying customers just like anyone else. Burlington has to DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF MANAGING THEIR LINES AND TREATING CUSTOMERS WITH DIGNITY. read more

The store had a few gems but mostly had a scarcer selection due to being in a high traffic area. I find that Burlingtons are always busy and the lines move slow. Despite this the store appeared clean and the line while moving slow was organized and straightforward. My friend noted that the line is sort of hidden out of sight so you don't get deterred from shopping. Throughout my shopping experience, I found that all staff the I spoke to were friendly. I'd pop in if I were visiting BJs but wouldn't go out of my to visit this location. read more

This place id crazy 3 hour waiting on line please dont come this place bad we are so mad First was express line and after they ser people come to the express line they close that cashier read more

Burlington - Department Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Standing online for two hours to cash out is preposterous! There were two registers open. The line was "wrapped" around the store.

Horrible I wish I could give 0 stars. There are no associates on the floor, no cashiers and NO managers. It took me an hour in the line this has got to be the WORSE Burlington location I have ever been and I have been to many in nyc and other states. Avoid this location!!!!!!! read more

If I could give 0 star I would do that No cashiers , lines are very long. Poor customer service read more

you can definitely tell that the customer service is horrible when they leave you on hold for 30min to an hr or so for days at a time and thier management will lie to you just to get you off the phone guaranteed it's very disappointing ., they treat people as if they are disposable .. I can see why they are understaffed and they won't hire because they are operating as if they are Bloomingdales.. it's disgusting read more

This Burlington is just dreadful. I really don't have anything positive to say at all. Expect an hour-plus wait in line every time you're here. That's always been the case whenever I've been here. They obviously know that this is a problem. If you're that understaffed and know that every day because of this that the line is going to run the entire length and width of the store, then you shouldn't open. The store is always a cluttered mess. Staff is always unpleasant. I actually found a lot of things I wanted. I had about 12 items to try on. I went to the dressing rooms and the entire thing was closed off. So I had to go back and put everything back on the racks and leave empty-handed. I'll just stick with the Atlantic Avenue location. It's a million times better! read more

Burlington - Abysmal line. - Department Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Always in this store, every min I get, looking for a great bargain Burlington is the place, it's a one stop shop for me. Reasonable brand name bags, perfumes, clothing, shoes and the list can go on and on. Burlington never disappoints. I'm always up for something new. I always go into Burlington empty handed and leave with my hands full lol. If you need a great deal Burlington is the place. read more

See all

I stopped in looking for Velcro shoes for my son. I left with the only decent pair in his size but one or two items for myself. The merchandise as usual was in complete disarray. While I was trying in clothing in the fitting room, a disgruntled female employee walked in complaining about her supervisor telling her to complete a task that the team there the day before her shift should have done. Lots of venting happening while I'm just trying to figure out if they remember there are customers here in the fitting room. The line was a bit long but it moved fast and the guy at the counter kindly explained what was not listed but excluded from the corporate return and exchange policy. I'll come again because it is big but maybe I'll try to come right when they first open. I might have better luck browsing the stock that way. read more

Burlington - Returns policy - Department Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Manager on duty on Saturday, September 2, Aisha, needs to have a common sense approach to management. After shopping for 2 hours, I spent another one and a half hour in line for checkout. I needed to use the bathroom really badly and rushed there. It was closed to the public(which is new), and they always had bathrooms for customers before). An employee told me to ask the manager, and I did. Although I just spent hundreds of dollars, she insisted no because that's how it is now. Common sense could kick in, and she could reason. This woman looks desperate. Let me help a customer out. No, she didn't. Thanks to the security on duty, he recommended that I go to T J Max's bathroom. Imagine me at 9:20 in the night running to TJ Max with my many Burlington bags. They were 10 minutes from closing, and yet they allowed me to use the bathroom. Burlington Gateway just lost my business. I will go elsewhere next time. Thanks, T J Max, for realizing that people are human beings who sometimes need to pee . read more

This place has the WORST customer service. The workers are disrespectful and rude. This place is messy, and so disorganized. It makes me have a hard time shopping. And the line? Always so long! Ridiculous. I don't recommend this place. read more

Easy to get to and if you really dig and look around can find some good deals. Just make sure you really check the item as it was likely on the floor at some point being the entire store is in disarray and unorganized. Be prepared to wait on line for well over an hour. Even though there are like 13 registers I guess it just makes too much sense to have 3 employees only working them. Store is a little ghetto and seems like people play stupid to try and beat the line. Shop at your own risk read more

Estoy muy insatisfecha con el trato violento que tuvo el personal con migo y mi comadre ayer Domingo de mayo 5 justo a la 3:30 pm fuimos maltratadas belvarme por las cajeras creo que la supervisora apoyo eso es lamentable lo que pasa en esta tienda ahí mucho racismo ahi read more

Store well maintained. But spent 20 minutes finding jacket and 1 hour waiting on line. Something seems flawed with their checkout plan

It's nice when I find a great deal, but like everyone says, the line is too long. The last couple of times I was there, the fitting room was " temporarily closed." If I can't try on the clothes, they should at least have a separate line for returns, which would hopefully be shorter. I shouldn't have to get on another long line just to return something I wasn't able to try on before I purchased it. read more

I have been to this location one time I am discouraged from shopping here because the place is a complete disaster pieces are broken dirty and all over the floor. There are definitely not enough employees on the floor. Prices are good & things are always on sale. But, it is very discouraging looking at so much on organize the merchandise. For good deals some label brands this is the place to go be patient when going through the store though. I would like it so much better if they kept it cleaner and more organized. read more

0 ratings there was this african kid who attended me didnt want to do his job i wanted this blanket badly didnt have no price or anything it was the last one there and he kept smirking the whole time because when his manager came she also said they couldnt help. That burlington is not organized everything is everywhere, the food section had ants, the people who work there are rude. read more

"Clean up on aisle....!" ALL the aisles in this Burlington store need massive straightening out!!! No matter what time of year you go into this store, it seems the clothes are a mess and their shelves are..well, disheveled! I recommend going to the Burlington Coat Factory in the city near 6th Avenue instead. The Gateway Burlington has next to no coats for men. When Burlington started out over a decade ago, it was ALL coats and you couldn't spend just one day going through the place. Now they added a bunch of other departments, so there's less room for more coats. Gateway's store is always packed and merchandise is always laying around. I found some great deals on workout attire - maybe a dress shirt or two - but this is another hit or miss location where you can find the BEST outfit or nothing at all. read more

I regret asking quietly for the restroom. crazy worker replied I should get together with the community and approach you congres and legislators for restrooms as she talked she got louder and louder as I walked away she yelled RESTROOMS SHOULD BE OUTSIDE , everyone looking at me. I was horrified ran out with my wife and moneyI will never spend my cash here. read more

A crazy holiday Saturday in Brooklyn and Burlington lines were ridiculously long, I mean wrapped around the store long. The good news is that they provided a 5 items or less line that was long but it moved quickly. We were on a line that stretched more than 50 feet but got throughout it in 10 minutes. So I must commend Burlington on their great tactics to keep the lines moving during this busy Holiday periods. read more

Came by here a few months ago being that it was one of the newest stores around my way. Not too much to say about Burlington. Pretty much a basic Wholesale clearance kind of store that sells more than coats but specializes in well...coats. Nothing really more or less to say about it than that. So I'll just leave it at that. read more

I usually don't do reviews but I felt it was only right for this most recent visit. I walked into this Burlington the day before Labor Day and honestly didn't expect to see it would be as busy right before a holiday but it made sense in terms of holidays leading to good sales. My purpose for this visit was to get a few items for my upcoming baby and before I knew it, I was walking out with about $350 worth of stuff. Knowing I had a deeply filled cart, and seeing the line full of people along with being pregnant all in one, I didn't expect any associate to be thrilled in seeing me. A lot of employees are typically miserable to see a customer like me at their register because the process feels like forever to check out items but not Ms. Camelia- the cashier that took care of me. Ms. Camelia did an amazing job at greeting me, folded my clothes neatly even after I told her she didn't have to for the sake of time (she just couldn't help it), she was very patient and respectful. I also noticed in the meantime how management kept things much under control whereas more staff was called up to help check out other guests and before I knew it the lengthy line was long gone. There were about 3 items without proper pricing or tags that Camelia needed help to get information for and the other associates helped her tremendously each giving help in any which way they can. If I'm not mistaken, a manager or other associate by the name of Nyasia took the time to help Camelia with my checkout and also was very respectful. I like Burlington a lot for their great deals and also had a decent time my first visit to this location about a month ago. I look forward to coming to this location every week as I'm sure to have much better experiences here than I've had at Atlantic Mall or Union Square. All Burlington stores realistically hire good staff and I have no idea what their hiring process is like but if they continue to have staff like Camelia and Nyasia, the business could never fail. Both ladies deserve a promotion, I am very well satisfied! Thank you! read more

Ok I must start with I have never been a fan of Burlington coat factory. However I figured this being a new location maybe it will entice me to be a regular patron...well it didn't. I wasn't expecting anything so the bar wasn't set high. It just did nothing for me. Staff walking around aimlessly and not one person asked if they could help me. Oh wait I lied the security guard standing at the entrance who is staring at cameras all day as part of loss prevention read more

Burlington - Department Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love shopping in this store, I think the prices are better than Marshalls. The handbags and wallets are great. I love Betsey Johnson products and they always have her handbags and wallets here and the prices are awesome The store is huge and you can find alittle bit of everything in here. Ive purchased towels, sheets, home décor, clothes, shoes, baby items, pet items. However my only grievance is the store is always in disarray, I don't blame the workers, I blame the customers. Why do customers come into the store and pull things off the shelves, push items so they break and fall all over. Customers should have respect for delicate items on the shelves and not push, pull and shove things, open them, break them and put them back on the shelves. I feel sorry for the employees who have to clean this mess up. Otherwise the store is awesome! read more

The lines are way too long at this Burlington. Honestly, sometimes when I come up the escalator, if the line is too long, I don't even look around, I just walk out of the store. I can't be bothered. It's always like this. Please add more workers or increase their pay to increase productivity. There are so many registers and still you wait almost 45 minutes on the line. It's ridiculous. I have to return something this evening and I don't even want to go back for this reason. read more

Hey everyone, it's been a long time! I've been slacking on my Yelping, a trend that I hope to course correct over the next couple of months. Yesterday, I made it over to the new Burlington Coat Factory in Spring Creek, part of a new shopping center they've recently erected at Gateway and wanted to share my experience. First, as always, the good. The shopping center itself is quite lovely. It just opened a couple of weeks ago so the stores are still pristine. Their approach to design pays off as it doesn't resemble your typical Brooklyn strip mall, but rather a Jersey neighborhood outdoor shopping center. Burlington itself is highly recognizable - learly marked sections, rows of reduced-priced clothing, and the horribly unflattering lighting are all very familiar to regular customers. I wasn't impressed by the selection, but generally speaking New York City iterations of this store just pale in comparison to their out-of-city counterparts. If you've never been to a Burlington on the island or in Jersey, you'll probably be quite satisfied with the selection and prices offered. Now, on to the bad. For some reason, this location has opted to showcase their loss prevention department to the general public - having both the staff and monitors plainly viewable when you enter the store (like hey you, don't forget we're watching). It is an obvious attempt to discourage theft of merchandise and perhaps it will work. However, it's also extremely "big-brother-ish" and makes me mindful of picking my wedgies, breaking out in dance when my jam is playing, or doing my Beyonce strut as I'm trying on shoes - basically ruining the shopping experience for me. My BFF had a viscerally negative reaction to seeing the standalone loss prevention booth and vowed that she wouldn't shop at this location because of it. She questioned whether this was a consistent approach to loss prevention utilized in all Burlington Coat Factory locations, or if the increased "transparency" was specific to the Gateway location which is based in a predominately Black area. I've been to dozens of Burlington locations and I don't ever remember seeing loss prevention so strategically placed. From both angles it sucks. People don't want to feel self conscious about their shopping habits (I look at my butt a lot when trying on shoes, and I don't want random stranger passing the booth judging my rear end fixation (this is mostly a joke, though I do look at my butt a lot.)). It is also an awful signal - we think you're more criminal than most - to send to the neighborhood. Boo. Two stars. read more

I went early on a weekday and the line wasn't too bad, about 10 min or so...BUT!! It was unfortunate that I encountered an extremely rude employee. I was looking at a dress on the return rack and she snapped at me to shop the sales rack, then proceed to rant loudly on the phone to her friend about me. Basically everyone in the vicinity could hear all about how rude and inconsiderate "some people" are and causing her more work. Seriously, she went on nonstop for a few minutes straight until I gave up looking at dresses and walked away due to being uncomfortable. I saw other people browsing the same return rack but she didn't tell them off for it. I'm not saying she was being racist but clearly there is an issue that needs to be addressed. I ended up going back to the return rack to snatch up the dress I was looking at since it was really nice. Yes, I did ended up buying that dress. It's a shame since this is one of my favorite stores to shop at for great finds at affordable prices. read more

It's nice & clean. Hopefully it can stay this way given the area that it's in. The cashier we had was friendly. First time ever in a Burlington & it won't be my last. Took off a star because the employees in the aisles weren't very helpful. read more

Great customer service!!! I can tell it's one of the new stores here in this mall. There are employees available at every turn. You can't possibly go wrong with that!!! read more

This Burlington sucks compared to the one in five towns. You would think there are no employees working there- The only employees that asked me if I needed assistance were the ones hitting on me! The store is fairly new but the aisles shouldn't be so empty- how do you not have hats and gloves for sale during the winter? Only 1 star for the location and the ample parking outside. read more

Rude employees. Sign on the door says they close at 11 and guy at the door didn't want to let me in at 10:45. When I pointed out that they aren't closed cause the sign says 11, he caught an attitude and said "alright man go, you got 10 minutes." When I go inside, the guy follows me to the suit section to tell me I have to get to the register because they are closed. read more

After waiting in line for almost an hour, only to find out that the items that I was attempting to return due to invalid sizing for my toddler, was marked down to less than half of what I paid per item. Not to mention customers are not adhering to 6ft apart regardless of the stickers placed on the floor. The entire time customer was almost breathing on my back in spite of warning him to respect the social distancing rules. I would never be returning to this Burlington. read more

Can Yelp just make an option to give zero stars already! Came in a couple of times, no ones every polite. Everyone's also in a dry mood most of the time. But SPECIALLY the older ladies. I don't get mad, I understand some people just don't like their retail jobs. Anyways, came on a late night - which I never do because - who doesn't want to go home. I had a few pieces to try on and I ran into a fitting room. No one was in the front, I had 4 dresses and it was 1015 - I knew they closed @1030. 5 minutes later someone DOESNT knock on my door - they push it open. It's an associate who stares at me as I am covering with a dress to avoid her from seeing me naked. Instead of turning away she stares at me and tells me the fitting room is closed. I reply ok I'm naked can I put some clothes on. She walks away and so I rush and put my clothes on. As I walk out this lady - Natalie- supposedly the manager, is in my way on the phone. I say excuse me and she just ignores me. Rude. I say excuse me again - she moves an inch as if she's a size 00. Really? If the manager is rude how else is her staff suppose to be? Get it together Burlington. Get your grumpy ass together Natalie. We the customers would appreciate it if you had a better, nicer staff - but of course it's a reflection of you Natalie. read more

The worse Burlington ever! Very messy and rude staff. There was two cashiers and there was at least 30 people in the line to cash out waiting for more than half of an hour. Someone in the line asked why don't they have more cashiers and the manager said they only have two cashiers and they don't have plastic bags. Suddenly after we had 6 cashiers and lots of bags. Staff are very rude. I don't recommend going here. Go to a different location. read more

They stop doing layaway at this store around the holidays I don't understand why. I have 8 grands so I do 3 month til xmas...why did they stop read more

I hate this location. Burlington isn't the easiest place to show because you have to thoroughly scour the store to find things but this location makes it harder. For a place that's so much newer than the other locations, they could've had a better store layout. Nothing is ever neat here. There is always a long miserable line.The items with multiple pieces are never intact. The customer service isn't great. There's less of a selection here. I much prefer the Five Towns location. read more

There was this one lady named Victoria at the register who was very rude and forgot to take the alarms and had a nasty attitude she just threw the clothes in the bag read more

Awesome place! Awesome location! Customer service is awesome. You'll always find someone here willing to help you out.

Not very organized and there is hardly ever anyone around to ask a question to. Thankful that there is an escalator that takes you to the top of the store. The top of the doors in the dressing room were filled with loads of dust...I have never seen anything like that in my look. Good grief, clean the place. read more
