I haven't been to a Kings in a while. And it was my first time at this location but it did not disappoint. Tidy and fully stocked. Overall, it was a great experience. The fruits, veggies, and flowers were all super fresh. One constructive feedback is their organic veggies area. Some of the foods were displayed in a confusing way. Additionally, it would be great to see more organic produce options. The parking lot is large and spacious, so it's an easy in and out experience. read more

After work, my husband went to Kings to get some sandwiches for dinner. He bought me one with cranberry dressing; I don't normally eat a whole one, but it was so delicious that I devoured it. He bought a turkey and avocado one and also said it was amazing. From now on: My favorite sandwich at Kings is the turkey and cranberry one. Thanks to the whole team. Blessings. read more

Disgusting. White raw skin. Pink inside. I don't know who is cooking these chickens but years ago it never happened. The point of buying a cooked chicken is to not have to turn your oven on. Another one for the garbage. read more

Stay away from the cheese counter recently bought several cheeses and when my husband opened them the next day for a dinner there was green mold on both the muenster and kerrygold cheese that is wrapped by kings. I don't bother complaining because the woman who takes care of the cheeses is a rude woman for years and acts snobby when you ask for a cheese she doesn't have. All the workers here complain all the time - don't stand my by the fish counter if the union rep is there you will hear alot of trash talk. Acme has ruined this store. read more

I'm in there. I went in there on a Monday morning and there was one cashier. When I asked the customer service desk, they said the other cashier was taking a break. This is at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Any other supermarket, including ShopRite or Stop & Shop would have had at least five cashiers by 10 o'clock. Not only this Kings prices are twice as much money. They give you no service. I had to run out to my car for bags by the time I got back the customer behind me was pushing to move ahead. I told him I would be back in one minute to get my bags and the cashier would not wait. The whole experience was a disgrace. Kings has gone down Hill by a landslide. read more

Ok. So let's move past the fact that everybody who works there is miserable and totally unhappy.... Let's move past the fact that you can't even find anybody in the seafood department or the meat department and you have to go to the front to have someone paged How about Saturday 5 PM no cashiers.... the only way you can check out through the electronic machines with a one person manning six of them.... Oh kings. You used to be my go to... I defended you when everybody else started going to other supermarkets It's official given up and does not care anymore.... I am officially retired from kings read more

I prefer to shop Sunday morning at 9am. I am an early person. Walk into other local supermarkets and the produce section is packed with product. Walk into Kings and you will find an empty section. You have to wait until 11am to shop. Please do not ask someone in the produce department to get you something that is not out. It's as if you are asking them to go to the moon to look. I also understand you are trying to fill in items when patrons are also trying to shop, there is no need to huff and puff and make comments under their breath but loud enough for you to hear. It is fine, I was actually a daily customer at the store, now I drive 10 extra minutes to ShopRite, the employees gladly look in back for produce, the place is filled (and continues to be filled) as early as 8am. I remember Kings as being a fantastic store with amazing customer service. I am surprised this store can stay open with the employees they have. The only part of the store I have ever had success in is the seafood department. Excellent quality and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. read more

This location is very clean and well kept. Everything looked fresh, and delicious. Many various items, and cooked foods. Friendly staff available for assistance. Parking lot located on site, but not a huge lot. Either way, this location is not busy. You can be in and out without a fuss. The prices are on the higher end. Not sure if this is the company set prices, or location based prices. read more

I used to live in Cresskill and did my shopping instead Kings. My sister Gloria DelVecchio works there and I was asked if Kings is closing. My favorite place to shop here in Vegas is Albertsons. Please let me know if you are staying open Thank you Joan C. Jaccoi read more

I am a frequent shopper at Kings and since the Pandemic and the sales of their corporation to Acme, the quality of of food had gone way down hill. It's true that the management is glad to refund your money for a spoiled food product but who wants to drive 15 miles to return a bad batch of cheese, or eggs when the problem could simply be managed better by the supermarket. I guess the the new system is "You had better be grateful for what you can get, and it it ain't that great". I admit that most of there products are Okay, but it's no where in comparison to great supermarkets like Fairway or Zabar's. read more

Need better training for customer service, had a rain check for eggs before the shortage and was finally able to use but customer service deducted $1 digital coupon before the rain check price, which normally should be deducted after the rain check price but lady insisted that was the way it is done and she was also the one who gave me the rain check and complained to me that customers are so needy. Unfortunately, the carton had broken eggs and I returned to try to exchange but no eggs left, I asked customer service if I could get rain check until eggs come back in stock and was told "Yes", but then after processing the return of the damage eggs, he said he can only give rain check for current price (rain check are hand written here), so why say "yes" when I asked only to tell me that rain check is at current price, same guy who didn't understand digital cpn was not working last time I did self check-out. These two people need better training in customer service and attitude. read more

The food at kings is fresh. The service is very good. And the ambiance of the place is magnificent. The prices are perfectly reasonable.

Poodle head passive-aggressive cashier Debbi was too busy and fed up with her job to say at least plain "hi". Instead, she made this unpleasant face to look at and lazily put our groceries in bags and threw them at us as if it wasn't food, but some kind of garbage. No "thank you for shopping with us" or "happy holidays", of course. Should be fired. read more

Kings use to be family friendly and community friendly. Now rude, unfriendly service. Uncomfortable and rude new employees. Since Acme bought it, the food is poorer quality too and seems like prices way too high on many items. Certainly Not a store we want in our Cresskill. read more

As you can probably imagine this Kings being that it's in an upscale area lives up to its name. Clean inside, large variety to choose from, staff is always friendly, loads of parking, and its conveniently located in center of town. Lines are normally quick and you can't beat their fresh meat selection read more

I have been to several Kings in the area and this Kings is no different. The nice thing I like about Kings is that they have some of the rarest foods and freshest produce available. I especially love their fresh fish and meats, but, their international aisle is also pretty cool. Their bakery section is also quite nice. I normally shop here on special occasions, but, not on a regular basis because the cost tends to be higher compared to other super markets. read more

Kings Food Markets - View from east Madison street - Grocery Near Me - Cresskill, New Jersey

I usually don't write reviews because I never have time, always running and trying to be the best mommy I possibly can for my 16 month old baby girl... but this time I really had enough and I must write about my horrible experience. I used to live close by this supermarket and sometimes run in because they have great produce although very pricey. I was never fond of their customer service but since I had a baby I'm always trying to find healthier and better food choices for her so when I found out that they carried a local brand of milk that she adores I figured I'll give it a shot even thought it is now located so far from where I live. What a huge mistake! Horrible experience! Customer service was non existent! I tried to smile with one of the workers while searching for some greens and fresh fruit, (which yes looked amazing and wonderfully organized but hugely overpriced!) while my baby was getting fussy and loud and I was ignored completely! I understand the problem with COVID and how stressed everyone is, believe me, I work in retail too and it's not easy, and yes scary, but I don't take it on customers! The small crowd shopping around wasn't that wonderful either! So I picked up a few items really quick, mind you I ended up not buying the milk I went in for in the first place because it seemed old, and was expiring soon, and trying to run out of this nightmare as soon as possible, but once I reached checked out I was stock there for a while! It was not busy at all, online there was only one person in front of me, and then some issue happened with a current sale and I waited forever while other customers just moved between lines and passed nonchalantly in front of me and left way before I was able to reach the register. Mind you by now my baby was pissed and getting loud trying to tell me she wants to go home but no one cared. Not the workers not the customers! I tried to tell a cashier passing by that I was waiting for a long time, and she just showed me her back and walked away. The only positive thing was the cashier that finally helped me, a young kid which was very professional and finally just nice! (Thank you!) I therefore, have a suggestion for whoever will be reading this review: if you are a wealthy and snobbish shopper who enjoys to be ignored while searching for groceries, who does not care about others and loves to spend the extra money then please go there! I hope my review was helpful to many people that do not have time and money to waste! Thank you for the attention and please stay safe! read more

I ordered a Kings brand fresh turkey and when I opened it on Thanksgiving day, it was rotten. I brought it back to Kings and no one cared and they only had frozen turkeys. I did get a refund but left me scrambling for a turkey elsewhere. I would not go back to Kings as their products are not always fresh but are always overpriced. read more

I was in King's today after a long hiatus. The store is very clean but the prices for some of the items I bought were crazy. Frozen Cauliflower Pizza is normally about $8 at ShopRite but here it was $11.99. A few other items I looked at were very high as well. Some of the store made prepared foods looked anemic. All I can say that on a Saturday morning they were quiet whereas ShopRite or Cafasso's Fairway in Ft. Lee would be jammed. King's is very lucky they are in an upscale neighborhood where people do not mind paying absurd prices for mediocre food. The cashier looked bored to tears. read more

On the one hand, lots of excellent prepared foods. On the other hand, I can not warn people away strongly enough from their seafood. The salmon is extremely expensive AND has given me food poisoning TWICE. Insist in smelling all seafood before they package it up and if it smells strongly, do not buy... read more

My favorite local grocery store. Always great vegetables and fruit. Mike in the butcher department is the best. Always friendly and suggests the perfect cooking methods and temperatures. The ladies at the courtesy counter can be a bit of a downer at times but with some of the other customers attitudes...I can't always blame them. Around the holidays it can be crazy crowded and cramped...but what grocery store around here isn't? Kings hands down beats Stop and Shop and A & P on quality. Sure the prices are a bit higher, but you know what? I go to Kings because of the massive quality difference. And I will pay more for it. Once you have meat and produce from Kings, the other local stores just seem gross. read more

what a rip off, i go here exclusively for their organic chicken when i can't get to whole foods. Same produce as anywhere else, hardly any organics, prices are ridiculous. Go down the block to Trader Joes for organic produce at far better prices, and just as good quality. Much prefer Fresh Market or even Stop and Shop Kings is robbing you. Nothing better than regular supermarket items, and their farm fresh produce in season your better of going to the farm for less money. read more

High end supermarket. Pricey but generally worth it. Very good produce and meats. Yelp won't let me post a short review so adding some filler. read more

I enjoy the fresh variety of produce, seafood, and good meats here, including the organic meat selection. The store manager is very nice and understanding if you have any questions. The produce department is my favorite, nice selection of local and quality produce. The guys do a good job stocking up everything and are helpful. read more

My frustration with Kings is that leaving there with just two bags of everyday groceries can you run near $100. While their prepared foods is better than the average supermarket and the store is clean and well-stocked, the same packaged items I buy at the Stop and Shop in Emerson will generally run $1 more here per item, from Kraft cheese sticks to Simply Lemonade and Mott's juices to Applewood Farms deli meats and hot dogs. I'm being specific because these are not obscure items that I have to go out of my way to get and yet. I go to Emerson instead to do that, because there's a premium on the average grocery items at Kings. That said, I'm thrilled Stop and Shop and Whole Foods are both coming to Closter within the year, because I will have both options - to shop for everyday items and things I really want to pay a premium for - in one location, without having to shop around. read more

We came here specifically for the cannolis and they were yummy! Had just a mini one since we were full from lunch but it tasted very good and the shell was crunchy, not soggy either. The other desserts looked delightful, too, just couldn't fit anymore into the tummy. read more

Good shopping experience with good / fresh grocery. Their meats and seafood were great and fresh... highly recommended. Update on my own review: I added one more star for a very pleasant interaction with the staff. I got a Kings' apple pie (which was my favorite) for our Thanksgiving evening. The pie was under-baked and tasted awful. None of my guest took a second bite. I took the pie back to Kings the next day with only about 40% left in the box and asked for exchange. The staff was friendly and professional. They gave me the refund immediately and apologize for the problem. Good service! read more

This is likely the best supermarket in the area. They have a great selection of high quality items and they come with high prices. The meat and fish counters are both excellent. They often have chicken from local farms. The prepared foods are also very good and they have a nice cheese selection. Fruit and veggies are always really fresh and high quality, but more expensive than other area supermarkets. I don't go here for my day to day needs, but use this store for more specialty items. read more

Though the higher prices here seem to be in direct relation to the local high-end real estate market, I still like this store for its variety, cleanliness, and friendly staff. And while I'll continue shopping here, it definitely won't be at the butcher department. For the second time in about a month, I picked up a 2 lb. sealed package of ground beef only to return home to find the inner core had already turned to brownish grey. The first time I didn't notice until I began cooking it, but the second time, I opened the package immediately at home, which was less than 15 minutes after purchase & transported in an iced "cooler bag" only to find the core browner than the first time. This time it was immediately placed back into my refrigerator in a vacuum sealed bag. I returned the next day and showed it to a staffer at the service desk. Though she was very sympathetic & willing to return my purchase price, she did try to simply give me a replacement first. I declined. But while she processed my refund, she attempted to (after telling me she was not a butcher) "educate" me that meat sometimes does that (turns brown) very quickly between store & home on very hot days. REALLY?? Maybe if it's left out on the engine hood during the drive home. Or I had stopped several times, or lived say an hour away. But not within 15 minutes, while in a "cooler bag" with other chilled items. No way! This meat had turned already in the store. As I told her; my late grandfather was a gourmet chef & butcher. He warned me to beware of a then, common trick cheap stores did that he called: "rolling-in the meat." He said most common with grounded beef that was a day or two old, a worker would pack fresher meat around the older stock to make a larger, fresher looking package. And from what I've heard from my restaurant friends, this is still in play today. Please don't insult my intelligence by blaming this on a warm day! Besides, if it were to turn brown quickly due to higher temps, the outer layer would be the first to change. NOT the inner core! That's just basic chemistry. But enough of this rant, I have pictures that will back me up. Again, I'll be back, just not for "fresh" meat products. read more

Not even Halloween yet and Kings, my upscale overpriced supermarket, has Christmas food displays. Don't worry they didn't leave out Hanukkah. Sadly, customers will be buying and eating this stuff. Curious when it was manufactured? Perhaps it's left from last holiday season? read more

Kings Food Markets - Happy Holidays-LOL - Grocery Near Me - Cresskill, New Jersey

Very unpleasant experience at the cash register with a teenage female cashier. Extremely rude, maybe because I am Asian and she feels that she can yell me without encountering backlash. Has been shopping at King's Cresskill for last 20 years but will not go back. Whole Food services are much nicer at the same or lower price. Most importantly I never experienced race based maltreatment I am sure I received today read more

I love this grocery store. Always neat & clean, with an amazing selection of items from local and far-away producers. The soups, donuts, and rye bread are especially delicious. My one negative experience was - I once purchased parmesan cheese that had gone bad before the expiration date; returned it the next day without any problems (although the young employee there did ask if I wanted to switch for the other container of cheese - there were only 2; no way!). This area has experienced several widespread power outages in the past few years, and Kings has brought in generators to keep it operating through the rough times. And for that, I am so grateful. read more

Big fat meh. What's all the hype about? Prices are higher for no reason. I didn't get a premium feel at all. Just an old small supermarket with jacked up prices. read more

great store. no question. but while shopping this morning, i saw a woman take a container of some kind of corn salsa, open it, try it, and return it to the shelf. when she walked away i brought the container to someone and reported it. she took it seriously and was taking it to someone to discuss. read more

I live in New Mexico so I gave a try at their claim to be lower prices Well cheese as an example is $6.37 plus 10% almost 7 dollars and the other hand Albertsons is a flat $5. almost $2 a bar so the 10 % makes a big deal. In my part I will stick to Albertsons and kroger. Sincerely Victor Caraveo read more

I wanted to complement Athena who was helping to take Thanksgiving orders. She called me back a number of times to make sure that I got the turkey that I wanted. She was very professional and responsive. When I finally met her at the store she personally showed me where to find an item that I needed. Thank you Athena! read more

Good selection of organic meat here. Good selection of organic produce too. Great baked goods, and great deli! Prices tend to be a little higher than other supermarkets, but you get what you pay for. read more

This place does offer some decent produce and food, however, it is run just like any other supermarket. It is small, cramped and the clientele tend to be stuck up soccer moms fully pumped with botox and all...If you ever go into the back room to use their restroom you will notice how dirty the food preparation areas are....I would rather save my money shop elsewhere. read more

Locals consider this the higher quality supermarket of the area but it leaves a lot to be desired. The main problem is it is too small and therefore, the selection of everyday items is very limited. It's more expensive than most of the other supermarkets but the lines do move quicker. They recently changed their shopping bags to a much thinner material so they are more likely to tear; I recommend double bagging everything. The supposed "rare" high-quality items they sell are really not that special. The clerks in the deli department often seem cranky, and the "bakery" is all smoke and mirrors...they bake nothing at this Kings and all baked goods are delivered frozen according to one of the workers there. read more
