This is about the pizza place inside of of John Brooks. I've had a chance to try several different pizzas in here now and I haven't been disappointed yet. Unlimited toppings and a discount on the second pizza is awesome. I prefer this pizza over little Caesars but not quite as good as our local dominoes but you can buy these pizzas with EBT! The pizzas only take 10-15 minutes to make depending on how busy they are. Anyways two thumbs up from me... read more

This is a good place to shop. The store is relatively small but maintains a good selection of quality food. The produce section is quite good with a nice selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. The meat section is also good. The bakery also has a nice selection for the store size. The store is clean and the staff are helpful. read more

Great Donuts!!! They now have flat boxes to put 12 donuts without damage! Thanks!! Don T read more

Nice staff. One dear lady in the morning is wonderful. Also love the Socorro fresh green chili.

If it were possible to give less than one star, I would. Every time I go inside, I find expired food. Today I found items expired by two years. The customer service is not good. It isn't the worst in Socorro, but I wouldn't consider that a compliment. At least it is somewhat clean inside. read more

Great place to buy organic or ethnic foods of all varieties. They stock things you cannot find anyplace else - like Indian foods, New York kosher pickles, Blue Bell ice cream, french cider...... They also have a nice prepared foods deli. I am a sucker for their chicken enchilada casserole. So good! Staff is always helpful. Prices are always good. What more do you want? read more

This place has the little pink mints my husband loves. Today we went in since we are passing thru and the check out girl leaned against the rail the entire time. Noticed there was a long line of receipts tied to my receipt when I walked up. The reason. She cannot be bothered to reach that far from her perch. Place is clean and everything is well organized. Guys in back were cleaning. I know this place has to have employees who can hustle. This girl is not one. read more

Brooks in Socorro is a great place for meat deals if you're not too picky about cut quality. But other than that it's a dicey proposition. Most everything else, especially canned and bottled goods, is a little expensive. The produce section is inferior, with produce usually being undersized and a day or two away from rotten. You'd also be well advised to check expiration dates on cans, bottles, and frozen goods. The staff, however, is for the most part top drawer. Very friendly and helpful. But they do have one or two employees who suffer from small town xenophobia and will only speak to customers they've personally known all their life. One or two people working the registers also have a tendency to get distracted with conversations with other employees rather than checking out your groceries. read more

I really prefer shopping here. The only other option is Walmart in our small town. Yes, some items inside the aisles are higher than one might pay at Walmart however, other sale items through out the store are less that Walmart for the same items. Brooks is cleaner than Walmart, employees are more friendly than Walmart employees, selection is better than Walmart and now Brooks has new carts and carpet through out the store. The store is smaller than Walmart and easier to navigate as a rule. I'm 61 years old and have mobility issues and navigation is important to me. I used to use the in store pharmacy here as well. I put up with the snarkiness of key pharmacy techs for a couple of years until covid hit. After covid the snarkiness increased. I was dissapointed to say the least. Since Walmart pharmacy sucks I took my $40,000.00 per year medication business to Walgreens; yes, I use some pretty expensive injections to build my blood cells. Hence, this pharmacy at Brooks cost the store one star in my evaluation as a whole here otherwise, John Brooks is my choice for my grocery shopping in Socorro! read more

The John Brooks in Socorro is by far the nicest looking John Brooks I have ever visited. The ones I have been in Albuquerque are nasty compared to Socorro. Way to go Socorro! read more

What a find! I've been spending time in, and near, Socorro for several years. Wish I had known about this store years ago. Great selection including some artisan breads. Excellent craft beer selection including many NM beers e.g. Marble and Santa Fe Brewing. The sandwiches looked real good too, but I wasn't in the store for those. read more

John Brooks Supermart is a secret goldmine. The meat department is phenomenal. Freshest in town, best selection, competitive pricing. Special orders, courtesy service. The new store is clean and roomy, but still has a small town appeal. Supermart has a great variety of odd items that I cannot find at the other stores in our small town. I love them!! Quick in and out, and great service as well! Thank you!! read more

We were passing through town and needed a few grocery items. We decided to support the local grocery store instead of going to Wal-mart. We were pleasantly surprised by the selection and prices, but were not at all impressed with the cashier who could barely tear herself away from a conversation with another employee to greet us, check out our groceries, look us in the eye or thank us. read more

John Brooks seems to be getting more like Walmart. The people working there used to be friendly and helpful, now for the most part they are rude and can't be bothered. Today what should have been a five minute run in and out took me twenty minutes. Stockers had half of the isles blocked, one was completely blocked and there was no one stocking, just boxes spread across the isle. In times past they would ask if they were in your way and move aside if needed. Not today, just look you in the eye then act like you weren't there. I was going to buy deli meat and stood at the deli for five minutes while two employees helped a customer order a cake. No problem, except one employee turned around, looked at me, and walked off. The other employee finished with the customer then she too walked right by me into the back room. I was going to ring the bell for service, since I'm evidently invisible or they're blind and didn't see me, but the bell is no longer there. Evidently they were being bothered by too many customers wanting to be waited on so they took the bell away. Problem solved. Then there was one register opened with five people standing in line, just like Walmart, except Brooks doesn't have self check outs. People cry about Walmart running the small stores out of business but when a store forgets that their customers are the ones that spend the money to keep them open they put themselves out of business. It's a shame because I'd rather spend my money with this smaller store even if it cost me a little more but I refuse to pay to be treated in such a manner. read more
