My uncle and I were looking around Foodmaxx to see if there's anything to get there. It's basically a discount version of other groceries I usually go to. They have all sorts of sections like dairy, meats, vegetables, etc. Usually, they would have deals like where you have to get a specific amount of items for the item's price to be discounted, but they don't label the original prices which I don't know why. Also just like other discount grocery stores I go to, they lack options like I couldn't find any Oatly products as well as flavored sodas like Cream Dr. Pepper. It's only good if you're coming here to get generics and if you care less about specifics. read more

The service here is kinda slow at the cashier because there's usually just one cashier lane open sometimes two. I enjoy the low prices here, but don't forget you get what you pay for here. The past two times I picked up New York steaks, I brought it home and it was slimy on the bottom side and on closer inspection was browning from being too old(I should have checked closer at the store, but I feel like these things should be checked daily by staff.) These steaks smelled horrendous. My last trip I did purchase more steaks and inspected better at the store before taking it home and it was fine. Just be cautious about what you grab and you should be fine. On my last trip, I did pick up raspberries too that were moldy. I ate them when I got home and started noticing moldy ones near the bottom of the tray. I threw them away. I will admit I am too lazy to go return these items, so I do not have a comment on what their return policy is like. In summary, the prices are cool, just be cautious about the individual items you grab. My recommendation to management: Inspect the produce and meats daily, and if possible manage the lines a little bit better. read more

Menu or MEANu needs to keep her nose in her mask and mind her business. She's needs to get retrained on how to serve customers. And re read the store policy. I guess food Maxx is really that desperate on hiring people these days that they just hire anybody off the streets. She definitely needs to learn how to respect her senior co workers/ people in general. read more

The employees at the store are rude including the manager. The store is a mess and the employees are not helpful.

Great deals and friendly staff! I've been coming here for a while and have also found what I needed

There is an employee there named Meanu and I don't know how the hell she has kept her job there for several years now. EVERY time she is at the register she is swearing and cussing under her breath about how she hates her job, she can't stand it, she's so tired, etc. Then QUIT already, good lord. She is a miserable person and EXTREMELY unprofessional. Customers do not need to hear all of that, and I can only imagine she incriminating photos of the higher-ups because if I were running things she would have been fired LONG ago. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

The has a sign posted on there entrance doors from the state mandating that that store ust by law redeem crv cans and bottles for cash when I went there to redeem my cans and bottles for cash I waited for a manager for almost an hour then when the manager can out he was extremely rude and disrespectful and violent he told me I had to leave his store and take my dirty nasty recycle with me cause he was giving anyone any money for recycle and he wasn't going to dirty his store up with a bunch of filthy cans and bottles again to me to get out his store when I said he has a sign posted and by law he was required to redeem my crv cans and bottles for cash he told me he didn't give a fuck what any sign said and told me to call corporate office and yelled at me and said to never come back to his store or he would have me arrested yeah he's a real piece of shit if you ask me read more

I usually go to the Food Maxx in Union City if I'm in the area. Then I discovered this one. It's in a more convenient location for me, so I tried it out. Frankly, I wasn't sure if I was in the Newark store or the Union City store, they're so similar. It's a short drive from Stevenson, and you can access the smallish parking lot from either the front or the back. On the south end of the Newpark retail area. I did find the layout a little different from the others and similar to Union City. Most have the stand-up freezers where you can get frozen food, and this does not. As a result, it doesn't have as large a selection as the others. The produce looks fresh, though. Deli? Fuggetaboutit. This is a low-price joint. Basically, Food Maxx is a basic grocery store big enough to sell lots of the basics you'll need, and at good prices too. read more

I've shopped here for years... I normally like the produce dept. Prices have crept up over the years. They say they guarantee "lowest prices" I doubt it! The reason for this review is the miserable excuse of what should be called "service" okay now if you shop there, you know they don't offer any service! If you have a meat question good luck! You can push that button all day long...Nobody's coming! Shopping today the whole aisle where the "specials" usually are NOTHING is priced no tags, no signs, nothing! I see an employee he has a rolling desk/cart with a backpack and a price gun...So I ask him if he's putting prices on groceries? He gives me the dirtiest mean look EVER!! My kids use to call that "Mean Mugging" when they were in high school!! Not sure why the attitude?!! I have never been treated so rudely by a grocery store employee in my life. Unsure why he would treat anyone, anywhere like that??!!!! Realistically I don't need to go out of my way to shop there ever again... One miserable employee can ruin a business. Maybe he was having a bad day?! Maybe his car got broken into?! It's a pretty sketchy parking lot. Idk but, take a breath and don't spread your misery dude!! read more

Cashier named Loretta is very rude and needs training on how to talk to customers/customer service. I hope she can fix her attitude and will gain some respect towards other people. read more

I went to FoodMaxx during my lunch today to pick up a rotisserie chicken. Immediately after getting home I sliced the Rotisserie chicken down the middle to begin shredding it. I was disgusted when I saw what looked like a rotten chicken. The sticker on the lid said it was packaged at 7:09 AM this morning. it really made me question just how fresh their food is. This was not the first time I purchased a rotten chicken, but today I was truly disgusted and decided to contact the store. They did offer to return my money, but I think my concern was more for others who Will eat something like this out of necessity. I truly hope FoodMaxx gets it together because next time someone may decide to it further and report the store for an inspection too. read more

Sometimes I go to this location only because I know if the super tall white cashier is working, it's a guaranteed good interaction. He's been there for a few years now and this location is very lucky to have a sweet gentleman like him on their team. read more

I'm frustrated that they don't seem to care about the coffee they sell in bulk. Peerless Coffee. They were out of not only the bags to keep the coffee fresh but pretty much there was no coffee to buy. read more

Horrible experience with Loretta. We were being respectful to her, just ridiculous the way me and my mom were treated today. She made comments in English as we didn't understand because we were talking Spanish. All these comments were said because my mom tried using Wic to buy some things she proceeded make comments such as "if they can't afford food then they shouldn't come buy stuff" in English because she thought we didn't speak/understand any English even though we payed for all our food. We feel very disrespected! read more

My first ime in FoodMaxx. I think I will go back again if I see one close by. It was very strange when we walked in. The rows of aisle and the way they stack their good are all so eerily familiar! Wait! Is this Costco? The same long line is here too. It moves fast tho and the cashiers are very efficient. Clean surroundings and awesome selection of goods! Even if I don't buy here I can just walk around and browse. If they start selling jewelries too that would drive a huge wedge between me and the big C! Minus one star for the ghetto looking parking lot. For some reason it does looks like that! I cant put my finger on the culprit! Fix it FoodMaxx! read more

Bakery workers are hardly ever here. Can never place an order because they're closed everytime i come. I'll take my money elsewhere than to spend it on the lazy employees who dont deserve to even have jobs. I can think of a thousand other people that actually want to work versus the workers this business employs. If you work at this bakery, YOU are lazy. read more

Be prepared to wait 20 to 30 minutes for checkout. Unlike 3 is a crowd before opening up another checkout at places like Lucky's ,it doesn't matter how long or slow the lines here. Not worth the wait as prices aren't all that lower, if at all. read more

The customer service here is unmatched. I'm reading some negative reviews and despite some minor quality issues, this is the best place to shop for groceries. I have NEVER experienced better customer service, friendliness, and a genuine willingness to help then at this location. It's worth the shop here soley based on their SUPERB customer service. They are so nice and kind. read more

Great selection of produce! Prices are very good! Lines get long, but be patient! You'll save $$ read more

I don't know if the worker, Tristan, was having a bad day, but he had a subtle attitude towards my friends and me. We waited in line and he excused himself calling us kids despite us being in our mid-20s. When I went to pay, I didn't realize there was a sign about not pressing the "skip" button. He had an annoyed tone saying "Did you not see my little note?" I understand that he didn't know that I don't have good vision, but his tone still threw me off. Even if losing one customer is not a big deal, I will not be returning. read more

Some prices are low, but some are way to high. Don't believe me, check the price of Campbell soup at Walmart then check the Food Maxx price. Most of the employees look very unhappy to be there. Be sure to count your change. A Manager at the checkout tried to shortchange me by $ 5.00. She knew it because when I called her on it, she knew the amount she shortchanged me by. This is not the first time this has happened.... read more

My favorite discount supermarket, mainly because of their vast, fresh produce department. You notice this right away when entering - and it's a reflection of the entire store; clean, neat and well stocked. There are even lighted ceiling fans keeping things naturally cool. Since the store is a little like a maze, you have no choice but hit the meat department next. They like to contrast their prices with Safeway, with posters comparing how much you can save by shopping here instead. In the far corner is a sizable bakery, with the rest of the store containing the usual assortment of grocery's at cut rate prices. One thing though that I dislike, is that at checkout time you need to bag your own groceries. I like to watch as my items are rung up to verify the prices, but you're too busy trying to keep up with the bagging. This one shortcoming prevents FoodMaxx from receiving a five star review. read more

I do love FoodMaxx. It brings back a lot of great memories like in the show "Fresh Off the Boat" where Eddie went to a "FoodMaxx" equivalent in the show to get Lunchables. That was totally me growing up. Anyways, you can find cheaper prices here than at Safeway and Lucky's. Though it's always subject to change if there are special deals. Trader Joe's still has the cheapest bananas by far. This past time we went we were on a mission to find little smokies and ingredients to cook them in which were grape jelly and BBQ sauce. Generally in FoodMaxx you can get a free cookie but that's only in some bakeries. I always go here for cheap eats and cheap fruits. The parking lot here has some interesting folks around, but that's why Newark is so special :) read more

We've been here twice and I was really impressed with the prices on fruits and veggies! A lot of other things were also marked lower than Safeway. The trouble is with the parking lot. People drive so crazy and run stop signs and I've almost been hit both times while trying to park and while walking into the store! Crazy! But the selection is good and I think I'll continue to come here as the prices and selections are comparable to sprouts and it's closer to my home! read more

Sweet and simple points: - Quiet and hidden location from the freeway. - Seems to be a more safer location than other ones I've been too. - The lines are long here, but move fairly quickly. - Great place to shop if you don't have time for the warehouse store. read more

I like coming here because the prices are good but I hate that every time I come no matter what time the lines are always crazy long...

Compared to the other Foodmaxx's in this radius this one is by far the cleaner ones. It is a tad smaller but it is still very organized. The staff are super friendly and are also very helpful. This one isnt near where I live but I drive here for the cleanliness. read more

I don't go here often but when I do I find some great prices on some things but other stuff is a bit high. The produce is not bad but I usually won't purchase meat from here unless it is lunch meat or something.:} Checker was new and a bit slow but very sweet. read more

I purchased a rotten watermelon for $6.49 @ January 3rd. I was too tired and disgusted to return it. The produce quality in general is haphazard. This is an old store and building that used to be Food for Less. Their freezers and refrigerators are old. I believe they repackage and extend the sale dates on their meats, baked goods and other items. Food prices vary weekly, making it hard to know what you will pay in advance for staple items. There are several rude employees, especially, an old, mean, fat, white woman. Service is poor across the board. On several visits all grocery carts were scattered all over the parking lot. Unfortunately, I do most of my grocery shopping here, instead of the local Safeway, due to affordability. read more

Sorry that I can't give this store a 5 Star Rating.. That is only because of the lines at check out.. My family and I always go there because of the maxpacks of meats especially.. But we also frequent Hot Chicken counter for those rush meals... The selection is not huge.. But the availability of products on sale is amazing.. It is very seldom that you won't find an advertised special.. Abundance is their specialty... read more

Certain workers are legit and respectful. The rest, I have no idea who raised them because it's plain disrespectful in some workers souls up in there. Today I went in to just get a couple of things and once walking in I see a employee ram his pallet jack into a customer. The employee was waiting for a reaction and the whole face demeanor was inappropriate. I can go on and on but that was the highlight of my experience today. read more

Best prices in Fremont, much cheaper than Lucky or Safeway. Only problem cashier lines are long, they need more cashiers. read more

Went shopping with my husband and was insulted by a cashier who said to me that for me and my son to enjoy our shopping. I told her he was not my son, but my husband! She continued to say that she thought I was his mother! This was at the Newark store. She knows who she is. Don't open your mouth before thinking! Will never go on her lane or even shop there!

I came to this store to pick-up some chicken quarters to roast in my off-set grill. My son and nephew said that they wanted my to cook this weekend on the grill and I could not say no to them. This one is located near the Asian Market where I get the soy-sauce based marinade for the chicken; therefore, I decided to go into this store. It is located a small strip mall away from the main road; therefore, it is not too busy. Prices are reasonable for a no frill market and competitive compared to the major markets in the area. The interior is bare and it is self bagging at the checkouts. Service was efficient and fine for this store. However, I did not notice any clerks on the floor when I was there! One department which I really like was the produce. This section is great compared to the majors and the produce is really fresh and well priced! If in the area, I will be returning! read more

I've noticed more so that FoodMaxx is starting to become expensive. I didn't realize that almost all goods are at least 10% higher. Peanut butter jams coffee and Meat and Fish is through the roof sometimes they have some good deals on vegetables and fruits. But relatively ok. read more
