For those that haven't been to Wegmans before, it's a more upscale supermarket that has a nice…read moreenvironment with a lot of prepared foods / baked goods. Wegmans has a special place in my heart as I went to college upstate where there weren't many good food options. I used to go with friends to get subs from Wegmans and they were always amazing. So I was pretty excited when I heard there would be an outpost of this place coming to LI. I was pleased to see the sub shop at Wegmans churning out subs as I remembered. I think Wegmans also uses freshly baked bread for their subs; I chose the 'white everything' bread. I went with a large 'Wegmans Assorted' sub that has roast beef, ham, and turkey ($16.49). You can ask for packets of their 'sub sauce' on the side for no extra cost, which I recommend. I ended up pairing my sub with a bottle of Mountain Dew ($2.99). Total cost with tax included was $20.15. I was pleased to see that this Wegmans has a really nice seating area with a bunch of different tables and good natural lighting. You can get condiments and utensils for free upon entry. I unwrapped my sub and dug in. The sub itself is quite big, so I'm glad they still give you a lot of sandwich for the large size (I asked for my sub to be cut in quarters). However, when I finally took a bite of the sub, I was extremely disappointed. The sub was nothing like I remembered. It didn't taste bad, it's more that the sub didn't taste like anything at all. It felt like none of the ingredients had any flavor to it. It was kind of disorienting. I did some research online and realized that this is due to the cold cuts being used. It seems that the Wegmans subs of my memories used freshly sliced cold cuts of better quality, while the sub I got at the LI location used pre-cut cold cuts that were way worse quality. This resulted in a very 'watery' feel to the bite of the sandwich. There wasn't much flavor or texture to it at all. After realizing this upon the first bite, it was sad that the rest of the sandwich felt like dead weight. I ate the rest of it for dinner though cause I didn't want to waste anything. So I left Wegmans very disappointed to say the least. I guess it's true that nothing good lasts forever but I'm hoping that Wegmans can turn this around at some point.

I'm so glad Long Island finally got a Wegmans. When they first opened I thought their prices were…read morereally high but then I notice the Hot Zone Prices was really good deals. When you walk into the store there is a sign of items and prices and they compare them to some of the other markets in the area which is always good to see. Another plus is that they are open till Midnight and it's close to home. A year later and I'm obsessed with this super market. It's very clean and the customer service is always amazing. My son loves coming here to watch the lobsters. The seafood department always comes out with a Wegmans hat to give him and let him touch a lobster. The deli department is always nice. I love the meats from the meat section and the butcher. I love the organic everything they have it's always fresh and reasonable. The Bakery department is my other favorite part of the store. I never tried any of their cooked food. Except the sushi station. No complaints there. I tried many of their store bands and so far so good, except the cheese. It doesn't melt for some reason. I never had any issues at any of the department. From ordering Groceries from the app to looking for coupons, the app is great at navigating it all. There are a few brands that Wegmans does not sell so sometimes I still have to branch out to another market. But for our main supermarket Wegmans is it.

They are fully stocked and are ready to serve from the moment the doors open at 8am. If you're ever in the Lake Grove area near the Smith Haven Mall, please try to stop in and visit them at Wild Fork. You won't be disappointed! It's a wonderful place to visit ...

Everything I tried was delicious, and I was blown away by how knowledgeable and helpful the staff were. They not only guided me during the scavenger hunt, but also educated me on the quality of the meats, the preservation process, and even explained the taste, texture, and best seasonings to pair with different cuts. The products themselves were so unique and exciting--things you don't find just anywhere, like ostrich, beef organs, tongue, and more. It was such a fun and eye-opening experience, and I left genuinely impressed. Can't wait to cook these new meats for the first time!

A trip to Whole Foods offers a familiar and reliable bounty: aisles of health-conscious products,…read morevibrant organic produce, and an impressive range of prepared foods like pizza, sushi, and a sprawling salad bar. However, the premium quality comes with an equally premium price tag, a reality that has persisted, and perhaps even intensified, since its acquisition by Amazon. For the savvy shopper, there are still ways to navigate the costs. Keen attention to pricing, coupled with strategic use of Amazon Prime discounts and in-store sales, can help balance the ledger. Ultimately, the store's unique draw lies in its exclusive selection; there are certain specialty items you simply won't find anywhere else, making it a necessary stop for certain needs. Our family has found a practical rhythm: we always begin our shopping at the Trader Joe's across the street. After surveying their selection and prices, we then visit Whole Foods for those few, special items we can't get elsewhere. This approach makes the added effort, and expense, feel worthwhile. Despite the undeniable cost, shopping at the Lake Grove location remains a valuable way to support and enrich a healthy lifestyle, especially for those living on Long Island's East End. It's a curated experience, one where careful planning can turn a luxury stop into a sustainable part of your routine.

I called the supermarket and spoke to one of managers and he said that I needed to return 3/4 of the steak in order to obtain a refund or credit. I I told him I threw it out. It was partially cut by each family member and parts chewed and spit out and not sanitary. He said that Whole Foods policy and it didn't matter if it was chewed. I will not buy meat in Whole Foods again. it was an expensive lesson at $22 a pound. Update I chatted with Whole Foods customer service and they have issued me a refund.

I live in Nassau County…read morebetween 3 Trader Joe's stores, but none of them are as well-stocked and have such nice staff members. The staff members always ask if I found everything I'm looking for and then try to help explain when the next restock may be or to let me know the item won't be restocked until the next (ie, Fall) season. Extra kudos for how well organized their bag drops are. There's usually a limit of either 2 or 4 for their tote and cooler bag drops. The parking here can get a little bit crazy in the afternoon when the rest of the businesses in the shared lot are open (Old Navy, vet, Shake Shack, Nordstrom Rack, etc.) Overall, I'd recommend the Lake Grove location!

A recent grocery trip to Aldi completely changed how I view affordable shopping. Seriously--if you…read morewant quality groceries without overspending, this is the spot. I even snap photos of the prices so I can remember how much I paid for when Im at other stores for comparison. Whether you're picking up fresh fruits and veggies or loading up on pantry essentials, Aldi has it all, and the prices are honestly hard to beat. I was especially impressed by the produce--everything looked vibrant and fresh. They even had fun seasonal finds that brightened up my usual list! The no-frills layout is another big plus. No overwhelming aisles or distracting displays--just a clean, organized space where the products (and the prices) speak for themselves. If you haven't given Aldi a try yet, you're missing a game-changer for your grocery budget. It's the kind of place that lets you fill your cart without emptying your wallet. Yup, even in this economy.
