I am a big fan of Aldi and Lidl. I love this Lidl. It's clean, staff are friendly, and it's always stocked. The bakery is my favorite part. I love their pretzel rolls, and organic dinner rolls very Delicious. I love that they have some name brands like Tyson, Chips Ahoy and Knorr. It makes a big difference. I always find what need and I love that all the registers are opened. Helps the line move faster. read more

I was checking out and had some difficulty scanning the receipt to open the security gate to exit self checkout. A worker came up to me, took my receipt and said"It's not hard!!" I was shocked at what he said and the nasty tone he used! I asked him if he said that to me and he said, "Yes". I told him that was a very rude thing to say , to which he replied, "That happens sometimes!" I spoke to the manager and told him that I will no longer go to this store.. read more

I have been to this location a few times including when it was brand new. The store has ample parking but can get crowded. It's bright and well stocked. It is hard to find someone to help you though. The prices and experience is very similar to shopping at an Aldi. read more

My mom really likes shopping here. Not sure why. Just okay to find some random stuff. Not my go to for groceries. But pretty decent selection, good prices. Negative is long lines not good. Need more staff when checking out. read more

I'm waiting outside from 7:00-7:30am and the store is closed, I'm their website says it's open 7:00am, it's extremely cold and I'm leaving to go to another store. Traveling 20 minutes to come and 20 minutes to go back without the food after staying 30 minutes in cold is unacceptable. Never coming back to this store again. read more

If you want reasonable or cheap prices when we are in the middle of a crisis, Lidl is the way to go. Forget the lines because I'm able to get in whenever I want; but that's probably because they weren't limiting that many people. While everyone was hunting for flour and baking supplies, LIdl was filled of it without price gouging. Lidl brand things are top quality. Some of my must get everytime I go are the following: hummus, creamer, egg, milk; frozen food, chicken, and whatever awesome sale they have. Every Monday I anticipate for their weekly ad that starts on Wednesday. Plus their pre-made pizza is hugggeeeeee and made ready to place in the oven. You get quality and quantity for the price you pay here! read more

Good selection, fresh food, price is reasonably fair compared to other American food markets, the place is organized and not crowded. Also, for their security reasons, be sure to have your receipt ready before you leave. I know some people may not understand and complain about this, but to be a good consumer, I understand it's for the protection of their business in case of shoplifting. I am all for it. Highly recommend this place. read more

I have been shopping here since Lidl opened and I'm always happy with my choices and the prices they charge. It's very much like Aldi - I'm waiting for that store to open up in Staten Island! I would like the bakery to be better secured, i.e., make sure that items can't be dropped on the floor and put back - I actually saw that once - and have never bought another pastry since. It's o.k. because we aren't eating sweets much now. The only other thing is that I don't get their flyers with my Marketeer because I live on the other side of the island. I can go online, but I like the paper ads better. It doesn't matter because I know that I'm going there anyhow for my family's needs. Other than these 2 things, I love the store. read more

This is a new supermarket attached to the mall. A name I've never heard of before. Went to check it out and can say I won't be back. The first thing you see upon entering is the bakery which looks amazing which I now know was deceiving. Microscopic jelly in the jelly donut. Apple fritter was just ok. All the other donuts were nothing to speak of. The space is huge but feels empty. Food brands I've never heard of before. The best thing I found was grass fed beef and packages of individually wrapped wild caught fish sold frozen. Produce section was ok. Couldn't find organic. I'll stick to Trader Joe's and shop right thank you. The best thing regarding this establishment is that they have jumped onboard with byob. (Bag). Yay! There's a small charge for plastic or paper. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect and only knew this chain came from Europe, heard there were low prices and you have to bring those reusable totes that we all have in our trunks and never remember to bring. Here's what I loved: -Clean -Wasn't crowded -Full fledge supermarket -Low prices -About 10% name brand items that you can find at your local supermarket - their bakery area was so good. Freshly baked croissants, rolls, donuts etc. at prices you wouldn't believe -the had so many choices of items - in the middle of the store they sell clothes and gadgets. Also great pricing. -they sell my carrots that I love. Same brand same package was $1.59 more at Trader Joe's Here's some feedback: -They need more organic items. There was only one aisle - the needed more registers open. There were only 2 until a headset wearing manager asked for someone to come open - a gentleman was a little aggressive when he asked me to fill out a survey about my experience and didn't listen to my comments. Mentioned several times it was my first time and it just couldn't figure out how to tailor his questions. Why I am going to return: The fruit was fresh and prices were great. The water, hands down, specifically the gallons are the lowest you'll find. .59/bottle. I was forced to use those bags in the trunk I mentioned early on in this post and I felt accomplished. I used them the rest of the day while running errands read more

Lidl - Yay! There's a Lidl close to me! - Grocery Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Lidl when operated to their company standards, can be a great experience. It would remind you of their European origins. However, this store is a SHITHOLE! No matter, what time of day you come. Can't believe there allowed to operate this way... But, It's Staten Island. There shelves are always empty of sale items. Store is a mess, 24/7. read more

Always running out of merchandise . Manager and employees not knowledgeable about their merchandise . Manager knew 0 about plants . I asked if anybody did . She said no . Used to like shopping here . No moe . Not good . Given up . ShopRite Staten island blows them away !! read more

Unfortunately, Lidl didn't meet my expectations. At first when my friend and I entered, the baked goods smelled delicious and attracted us. As we continued to walk forward, the vegetables looked very fresh but some stuff weren't stocked. It didn't look like your typical grocery store but it didn't fulfill my experience. Maybe bc we were specifically looking for 2 things? Meat for a BBQ & cold beer. There weren't much varieties for beer either and they were under soft drinks for some reason lol. I also tried to look for leather car wipes which was advertised in their circular before but I found none. I might give the store a try some other time but for now, I won't be returning back. read more

I was very interested in what I thought was a European style market with top quality items arranged neatly. I found low quality brands with little or no difference in price. Selection was limited . Employees seemed ready to quit. It reminded me of food shopping at k Mart but not as good. I can't say that it was lit very well and store looked barely stocked. Clientele looked like typical mall shoppers just throwing things to buy in their carts. We started putting a few items in our cart and wound up removing them and leaving store. We will not go back , extremely disappointed, will stick with Trader Joe's and shoprite . I was really hoping Staten Island was beginning to get some really good retail but my expectations were not even close. I don't think Lidl will last on this island . read more

Never been to a Lidl (mostly because I'm a New Yorker who refuses to go to Staten Island), but my mom swears by it. They have a pretty good selection of everything, at great prices (I think that's what they're known for). Their bakery makes some pretty good staples, like donuts and pastries. Nothing too amazing, but for the price, you can't beat it. read more

Definitely a unique experience as far as supermarkets go. Assets: -Extremely wide, navigable aisles. -A pretty good selection, as far as food choice. Debits -Charging for bags, paper bags in this case, no plastic. -I'm still not sure where people got their shopping carts, although I was able to retrieve one. -The self-checkout is an unmitigated disaster. Arguably worse than CVS. Overall though, I left with a very favorable impression of this new supermarket. Definitely worth checking out if the crowds at Trader Joe's are too much. read more

Although the store itself is nice and new, the employees are absolutely horrible. No manager is ever available and when you write to customer service they send you a five or ten dollar gift card saying please come back. We did just that and the second visit was just as bad. Aldi is a much better store with employees who really do care. read more

Ok when things improve its only fair to be rigorously honest. Reading some of my past reviews I have been quite harsh. Review doesn't mean criticism but often some places need to be called on it. Could have been an off day or my expectations have fallen who knows. I am always told it's not personal it's business. That's a problem or an excuse in itself. IT IS WHAT IT IS. That seems to apply to everything today and it's not a statement it says nothing.say turn the other cheek it's more precise. Back to Lidl my love/hate relationship. It's improved the customer service has also improved they really try. Possible I got a cashier in an off night or that is no longer there. When you enter the store ready the flyer, they have specials every week and a lot of buy outs think what ODD LOT was. Not the best selection of fruits and fresh veggies but adequate. The other depts such as frozen food makes up for it. Can't beat the prices they really are good. From cases of soda, water etc sort of a Cosco ODD LOT. Not for everyone but if you enjoy exploring I promise you will leave with something. Frozen shrimp or pizza, ice cream or buy out kitchen gadgets. Good location if you happen to be on there side of the mall. read more

Great spot and awesome pricing. The store is similar to aldi supermarket. They have cheap prices but do not provide plastic bags to maintain low prices to consumers. The store is organized and super clean which is great. The location is good as well since it's right in the Staten Island mall. You can do some shopping for clothes and groceries in the same area! read more

Finally got a chance to check out the store. Ended up spending about $115. Love the wide aisles. The store was clean and inviting. It was enjoyable to browse and look at the various products. Overall, the prices were lower than other similar stores. The shopping carts were clean and moved without any issues (unlike other places where the carts have a stuck wheel or need to be sanitized). Will definitely return. Also loved their policy on plastic bags. This will give people an incentive to bring their own bags. read more

This place never, never has anything that it as for sale in their flyer. They do not give rain checks. Sometimes you can walk around in there and find some good bargains. Only though if you have nothing better to do. read more

Slow service. They're not very professional in the store Not friendly at self check at

Unfortunately this place took a major turn for the worst. The supervisors and staff are unprofessional and frumpy. The store is constantly dirty and not stocked. Go over the bridge to a clean store and employees who don't fight with the customers. Seems this place needs a major clearing out of staff and store. read more

7 cents for a PAPER BAG that doesnt even have handles. Really? Never been asked to pay for a paper bag.

So I was very excited for the opening of LIDL I got there about 8:15am. It was a cute opening they had raffles and samples etc. the bakery is what you see when you first come in and everything there smelled and looked delicious. Prices were reasonable in the bakery as well. However I do feel like there needs to be more staff by the bakery so that when there is a crowd, their beautiful bakery doesn't get ruined. Shoppers were awful with the boxes and not using the paper to grab the items. It was a bit of a turn off. The produce looked fresh , neat and also reasonably or comparably priced so that was great for me looking for other places to get better produce, other than stop n shop or Trader Joe's. The vibes I got from shopping here was Trader Joe's meets Walmart. Staff was friendly but I must say I was incredibly disappointed that there wasn't more preparation on how this little supermarket works. You have to pay for all bags .7 cents per paper bag and .99 cents for the reusable bags. I spent over $100 (unplanned) because I wanted to try most things but also because I was told to download the app and you get discounts (I got .50 cents off) and I was also handed a flyer for $10 off $50 or more which they failed to point out that it CAN NOT BE USED TODAY! Which is also why I shopped feeling good bc I thought I was gonna get a $10 discount. But like I said it wasn't mentioned to me and it isn't good until January 9 ! So it was disheartening that there was not real incentive to be an opening day shopper. I'm even more peeved bc I would have called a manager to discuss all of this but THEY DIDN't put my receipt in my bag !!! I'm quite disappointed and MAYBE I might just stick to Trader Joe's unless I give their bakery a try again. We'll see... read more

Lidl - Grocery Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Love love Lidl. Especially love that I can find reasonably priced meats from lamb to grass fed rib eye to Italian sausage. Prices are great! I love buying the guacamole snack packs and veggies there too. Veggies last soooo long. I usually buy jalapeños for jalapeño poppers and for some reason they are never spicy but I bought them at Lidl and they lasted weeks and sooooo spicy !! I make a great hot sauce out of them. All in all not only reasonably priced products but huge variety and quality stuff! read more

Our store visit surprised me today. Usually when we used to visit Lidl, we went there for a long period of time but today we spent less time than usual. We went there and saw a smaller selection of products. We went to buy asparagus and then saw other fresh farm vegetables for very good prices. Additionally we saw good products produced in Italy, being offered there. Very friendly staff and very good selection today on vegetables, meat, and products from other countries for reasonable prices. It's always good to return the store and be surprised. Thank you very much for your business. Stay safe and healthy! We will be back. read more

A very unorganized store with limited supply of items. Staff is friendly initially but then will brush you off quickly because they don't care to help customers find what they are looking for. Everyone raves about their bakery section but it must be the lack of quality that they are used to. Greasy bakery bags are just not considered quality to us. I will not be returning, there are plenty of other grocery stores with quality items and friendly staff. read more

This store has been consistently going downhill for about 3 months. When it first opened it was a well oiled machine, spotless, always stocked and friendly staff, not the case any longer. Perhaps the heavy presence of headquarters management was driving this, as they strived to promote the brand. The store today is hit or miss now, mostly miss. Routinely bare shelves, fruit, vegetables always lacking. Frozen food, milk, ice cream always empty - looks like a store before a major storm. The bakery has switched to flimsy, big, non environmentally friendly plastic containers, WTF? The checkouts are always crowded because typically only one is open and the self checkouts confuse some people and their is usually no staff to help out. was a fan of Lidl - not so much anymore. read more

We come here often to pickup our groceries. Haven't stepped foot into another ShopRite or Stop & Shop ever since. We've been coming here almost every weekend since it opened and honestly it has its good and bad days. We did noticed they added and taken away a few things. Probably because of how they stock their items and what not. There's a great variety in this store, but for some odd reason the market isn't always fully stocked whenever we go. Some weekends the bakery section would be filled with an abundance of pastries & bread, and other weekends not so much. This also goes for the produce, meats, freezer foods, and other items in shop. It's either empty or stocked up and we find it's never consistent on this part. This is the only reason why I give LIDL a 4/5. At one point the store was very unorganized. But they since improved on this part. Some brands in there aren't known but there's not much to complain about because this is a European market chain.. Like what do you expect? It's like walking into an Asian supermarket and giving it a 2/5 stars because nothing is name brand.. We tend to choose the LIDL branded items because it's cheaper and honestly it's not horrible as some people are saying. A lot of stuff in here is reasonably priced, if not cheaper than most grocery stores. There are some really great items in here that we always come back to. I think there are some pretty good finds in here when they are stocked up. They have this Tikka Masala sauce in a jar and it tastes 100% better than Trader Joe's. It doesn't hurt to try something new. As for registers, they don't open up a lot, usually about one or two. However, if you're that impatient they do have the self check-out option.. They charge for bags and honestly you should be bringing your own tote bags anyway. Plastic is horrible for the environment and some people don't even reuse, recycle, or properly dispose of super market bags. They take EBT / Food Stamps which is a plus. Definitely recommend this market and will keep coming back! read more

It feels like a mix between a Costco and a regular grocery store. They have some great items, especially with pet supplies and flowers.

Under no circumstances should anyone even consider buying any of those breads and baked goods which are all loosely thrown into open bins in the front of the store!! Disgusting people shove their whole arms and bare hands inside and feel and squeeze everything they can get their dirty hands on!! There's no tongs or gloves available and some people won't even use them if they were available. My husband hollered at one of the morons squeezing bread today and he had the nerve to say " mind your own business"!! The manager nearby barely reacted to the situation so I will never in my life ever again consider buying anything unwrapped in that store. read more

Awful.....my first time in store. Lousy atmosphere, looks like a dollar store with groceries. Very unappealing. Messy shelves. Granted, I went at night, but big portions of the store were empty. Not an employee in sight. Saw one cashier open. Used self-checkout.....and they had no bags at all. I only bought 3 items, so no biggie, but really? A grocery store with no bags? Not even to purchase? Absolutely not one reason to ever try again. read more

It's just like Aldis .. understocked. Sounds great.. advertisement looks even better until you walk in and fall from disappointment. Won't be back .. why waste the toll when I can go to aldis for same disappointment. read more

New supermarket and I finally got a chance to check it out. When you walk in there is a really nice area with baked goods , I bought a loaf of bread that was hot,fresh and delicious. The produce was nice and fresh looking. Many dairy products, I tried the store brand lactose free chocolate milk which was actually pretty good. They have a meat and fish department, I bought a pork roast that was on sale but that is where the quality went down. I opened it the next night and it smelled horrible and had gone bad I threw it out. I don't like the fact that in the middle of the store it becomes like a dollar store with non food items in bins lined up, that is when I had enough and had to leave. I may go there for some items but I like trader Joes much better. Ok read more

So happy this store exists! The legacy food stores will get a run for their money. Prices and selections are great. They have started stocking more organic products since they opened. People need to understand in order to get a good value they run their stores a bit differently. Either way I'm so happy I don't have to cross the bridge to go to aldi anymore ! read more

I've moved to Staten Island from UK three years ago and was so excited to discover Lidl. To be honest I hardly ever shopped in Lidl before moving here, but I was missing food which didn't contained sugar or the dreaded high fructose corn syrup. Hurray for Lidl. I shop there weekly for all organic fruits and vegetables, as you can't beat the price. Whatever they don't have I buy in a supermarket. I love their selections of European and organic food. If I fancy a treat, I don't worry about the nasties like high fructose corn syrup or gmo ingredients found in "American" food. read more

This place is very convenient if your around the mall area. Thy have great discounts and prices on certain items that you can't find nowhere else. To add on, their bakery is very affordable and always smells amazing. read more

I think I bumped into this store while at the Container Store. I have to say, I love it! Their produce is fresh. Nice bakery counter. I've been back a few times since. Hey, I found a place for produce that's clean and the fruits and veges last more than 1 day. Also, the store is clean. Remember to bring your own bags ... I think they charge .07 cents per bag if you don't have your own. read more
