Food is great selection. Service is ok not always great but they try. Ambiance is always nice and not rowdy. When you want some peaceful food shopping this area is the best one. I always come here. read more

It's not that I don't like Stop & Shop, I do... just not this location. When it comes to selection, this is like a glorified Dollar Store. They are always out of items. They have a tiny pasta selection. it's almost impossible to find a can of baked beans without bacon and so few selections. As you walk around, you become aware how the middle aisles are dark and dinghy. It's depressing. The biggest problem is their ice-cream freezer that has been an issue even when it was Waldbaums. If you feel the ice-cream, it's so often mushy and, it tastes like it melted and was refrozen. The produce is poor quality and they are often out of things. The other day they were out of bananas. What big Supermarket chain runs out of bananas. As if this store isn't bad enough, the deli department people (with the exception of one person) seem miserable and waiting on customers seems to be the last thing they want to do. Absolutely no smile or friendly greeting. This is the only big supermarket around. We deserve better. read more

12/1/25 - I woke up feeling extremely sick--body aches, burning eyes and skin, and freezing cold on the inside. My sister took me to Northwell Urgent Care in Bayside, where I found out I had COVID. After that, we went to the nearest supermarket, Stop & Shop in Bayside, so she could grab ingredients to make me a good homemade soup. I've been to this location before and didn't love it. It's not well lit, and I never buy produce from there for that reason. My sister went inside because I was too sick to move. She spent $71 just on soup ingredients. When I went to make the soup the next day, almost everything was outdated or spoiled: Butternut squash turning black Cauliflower already browning Wilted broccoli medley Diced turnips and artichoke hearts no good and to make it worse -- none of it was marked as "Manager's Special", which usually signals produce that's close to expiration. It was just sitting on the shelves like everything was fresh. We ALWAYS check dates and appearance first, but my sister was rushing because I was so sick. She didn't feel like driving back to return it, so the spoiled produce went straight into the garbage. Shame on the produce staff for not doing their job. That is unacceptable. Customers should not have to throw their money in the trash, especially when buying food out of necessity. Thankfully, the other items she bought were usable. I made a soup with a small stir fry veggie mix, chopped garlic, ginger paste, chicken bone broth, and my seared chicken legs I already had at home. The soup came out so good -- and I actually feel so much better today. I'll add a picture of the soup when I warm some up later. read more

There are stuff I get exclusively at Asian supermarket and then there are stuff I get only from American grocery stores. This is my go-to store for the American stuff. Their fruit is always good quality, meat is pretty good (once they got new refrigerator installed). They generally have good weekly sales but sale products do sell out quickly so you may need to come back another day to try again. If it's on the last day, the customer service can give rainchecks. The staff at the self checkout are always very pleasant. In all it's a pretty good store. read more

We need a better supermarket in bayside Every time I go to stop and shop the fruits and veggies are minimal and don't look that fresh You will be lucky to find more than 10 organic fruits and vegetables combined . Prices are good but quality of fresh foods are terrible. read more

After major renovations a few years ago customers seem to be paying for this in service quality that has gone down significantly. It seems that management is reluctant to hire additional help resulting in extremely long check out lines, cashiers are hardly available and if you dont use the automated check out lanes, good luck to you. The local manager seems to be oblivious to this situation, not showing much concern. Luckily, North Shore Farms in Whitestone, Queens offers a much bette r customer service, all check out lanes are accecible and open all day, and the overall product availabilty and Take Out food service (which Stop and Shop does not have) make it for me the place to go read more

My first time shopping here it was a good experience. Produce is fresh shelves are well stocked. I like how the meat, dairy, and milk are in refrigerators, which keeps the shelf life last longer. I like how they have fresh made sushi The lines weren't long. The employees were pleasant. read more

This update can be summed up in one word: ANTS. As I was checking out at the self checkout there were ants all over the scanner area. I showed this to the person supervising the self checkout area and she said "it could be worse. It's only ants" and wiped them away with a paper towel. WTF!!!!??? HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE??? read more

Having spent nearly 40 years in the grocery industry, I believe that it is essential to train deli employees on how to properly slice cold cuts. Today, I purchased one pound of American cheese, which appeared more like a crumbled mass rather than neatly sliced pieces. It was only suitable for crumbling into dishes such as macaroni and cheese. read more

This is hands down the worst grocery store in queens. They are often out of stock of normal, every day items and they NEVER have enough registers open. They changed multiple registers to self check- out and will often leave only two open registers to check people out. In a neighborhood with a significant elderly population, this is a problem. I live down the block and will go out of my way to go to grocery stores in Whitestone and Douglaston. read more

Despite some of the negative reviews, I always enjoy my shopping experience here. The grocery store is usually never crowded when I visit and the workers are polite and expeditious. The place has a nice, calm vibe to it and the shopping atmosphere is pleasant. The food is always fresh and the selection is diverse and extensive. This is my go-to local supermarket and it never lets me down when I am looking for what I need. I especially appreciate that there are about six self-checkout machines that are efficient and easy to use. No problems here! read more

We visited Stop & Shop at multiple locations and the standard was quite different. It wasn't a pleasant experience. There were lots of empty shelves and looked unorganized everywhere. The freezers were broken and the Haagen Dazs with promotion price were melted. The staff was nice and checked out quickly. However, the cleanliness and maintenance had room for improvement. read more

Stop & Shop - Grocery Near Me - Bayside, New York

If there is a sale on anything at this store you will never get the item because they sell out instantly. This store cannot handle the amount of shoppers it handles on a daily basis. The shelves are too small and the amount of items available is a joke. Try restocking the shelves more than once a day. read more

Not a fan at all. Their produce is terrible. Poor selection of all products in general. I will give credit to the staff. The staff are wonderful people. I would love to see this store improve. read more

I was very disappointed with this store. I have not been in here since Stop & Shop took over. The last time I was there was when it was Waldbaums years ago. I stopped in for a few specific items Stop & Shop carries that I purchased at another location when I was in town last time. Even though I was looking for specific items, I still went through every aisle hoping to find something unique. Doing so was irritating due to some kids being obnoxious and reeking of weed throughout the store. Whatever, the store is not at fault for that. I did not find any of the items I was searching for. I found the store to be smaller than other locations and I honestly do not remember the space of the store being so small. I think because of the cultures that live in the area, the products availability was influenced by that factor. read more

As COVID-19 cases rise PAST the point when NYC went on lockdown, as we prepare to CLOSE OUR SCHOOLS again, it is appalling that the only people improperly wearing masks when I visit this store are the ones who work there. Every. Single. Time. Whoever is reading this, my mom will never breathe on her own again after getting COVID in March. My best friend tested positive but was turned away from the ICU earlier this week. Every single person in my church group has lost someone to this disease. Mine are just a few stories of the 252,000 deaths from COVID-19 in America and the vast numbers of long-term health complications that will shock our country for a generation from our 11.8 million cases. Yet this morning, I got to watch the produce manager at this store belt out his instructions to his subordinate with his mask dangling under his chin, loud enough to be heard across the section, much to the joy of whatever aersolized particles he was blasting from his pie hole. This article was all I could think of: https://english.elpais.com/society/2020-10-28/a-room-a-bar-and-a-class-how-the-coronavirus-is-spread-through-the-air.html Yet there was that idiot spraying the produce around him and every old person walking by throughout the day with his fucking mist. Then he walked away and put his mask back on properly. Awesome. AWESOME. Did I mention I live with an immunocompromised cancer patient? Oh, so sorry if your mask is uncomfortable. I'll tell the tumor to chill. It isn't rocket science why this is the case. The one person who NEVER wears his mask right is the store manager: Carmine. I have spent approximately $3,600 at this store since the beginning of the pandemic, and I can count on ONE HAND the number of times I've seen his mask over his nose. Carmine, if this message finds its way to you, maybe you need someone to explain this: you breathe out of your nose. Breathing out is how the virus spreads. Carmine is the reason why every single time I'm in the store there are at least three workers with their breathing holes partially uncovered, from managers on down. He's the boss. We all know how it goes. If Carmine stopped his employees when he saw them and corrected their mask usage, it would stop. No one wants to be yelled at by the boss. But the boss doesn't care, so the workers don't either. 252,000 dead Americans. 24,167 dead New Yorkers The trend is accelerating: https://i.imgur.com/cEeZAIa.png (that image is the COVID case trend to date for the last 30 days.) I've submitted this to Stop and Shop corporate, Google reviews, and 311. That dude either needs to be censured, demoted, or, more appropriate, fired for being nonchalant in the face of his customers' fucking lives. read more

Stop & Shop - Store manager Carmine in August. But really any day of the week. - Grocery Near Me - Bayside, New York

This is my go to supermarket in Bayside! Have been shopping here for years! They always have sales and specials and the meat looks better than any other supermarket in the neighborhood. The staff and management for the most part are on point. Just like anywhere else they have occasional issues but overall have been happy here. Plus their reward points are like gold to me because I always use my points towards gas purchases. My last fill-up using my points took $1.30 off a gallon!!!! And if you're lucky enough to have Loice as your cashier, be nice to her because she's the sweetest, most awesome checkout lady ever!!!! read more

This Shop & Stop is ok. There is plenty of cash registers and self check-outs. It has everything you really need or want to buy, such as dairy, snacks, household items, poultry, fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and soda. Speaking of soda, this week's 88 cent 2 liter soda (must buy 5) per 1 transaction per customer per store reward card was the best deal for this year's Super Bowl LII promotion! Super big and clean store! Easy to find items! Courteous employees at checkout! Plenty of parking outside! TIP: Need a quarter in order to use a shopping cart! Only downfall is customer service closes at 9:30pm so you can't do any returns after that time. read more

I want to thank all The employees at Stop & Shop for all there hard work in these desperate times.

Pros: + Easy Parking Cons: - Shopping carts that required coins for the longest time. - Luckily, now they are coin free. - Frequently mislabel items prices - Generally pretty crowded - Always out of stock after noon on weekends. read more

Terrible store. Items that r on sale are almost never in stock even on the first day of the sale week. . With a rain check I've had to check weekly to see if restocked; sometimes weeks go by. Shoprite sale items are almost always in stock. Rarely do i need to get a raincheck and prices are generally better. SR meat is always freshly packed and available. There are several butchers working usually and will custom cut when I ask. I did not see a single butcher last few visits to Stop n Shop. Most meats are prepackaged. read more

I read the reviews and decided to drive to the store and there are more empty shelves than shelves w/food ?! The store is huge, stock up on everything , there should be no empty shelves , many stores have closed make your priority to have shelves fully stocked !!! I can't imagine having to drive miles away because "Stop & Shop Lil Neck" have closed, Best Market closed as well, "Associate" in town is not comparable to a real grocery store so we have to drive to different towns , what a disgrace !!

I am a big Trader Joe's and Whole Foods fan, but when I need a "regular" ubiquitous supermarket, I like Stop and Shop. They're open until 10 p.m. most days during the pandemic. It's clean and they have an organic brand, Nature's Promise, which is well priced and the products are good. The produce is fresh and they offer organic products. It's a spacious store with a free parking lot and it's my go to when I don't want to wait on the line at TJ's (during COVID-19) or shlep out to Whole Foods in Long Island. read more

Lousy Management, zero customer service. Stopped in to shop for Holidays. To my delight I saw they had rib roast for 5.77/lb. I blurt a piece of meat that was originally 77.00 after sales and coupons should be around $36.00. My bill was $260+. When the cashier tried to apply the coupon, it didn't work., it seems the coupon was applied to two of the four steaks. I mistakenly thought this was going to be easy to remedy. But the very surly front office gal wanted to make sure I did not have a good experience raising her voice and telling the discount was not for the roast. I still have the coupon That clearly say roast. The store is apparently older, it is busy and dirty. Workers are unhappy and rude to clients. Fortunately there is a multitude of private grocery stores near by.. They voided the order, so I have no proof of what they did or who they were. Shame on you Stop and Shop. Happy holidays Mr.Grinch read more

As a grocery store goes this one is as good as any, but if you go there for other services such as sending money via Western Union this store does not do its job!! My husband, who has had no issue at this store many times before using cash to send money to his mom via Western Union, was turned away and told he had to do this transaction on "the app". Why? What app? This is a cash transaction! Since when is sending money using cash not a valid transaction for any store that provides Western Union services. We will not use this service here again. We went to Rite Aid. No problem there. Train your people Stop and Shop or stop offering service for Western Union. read more

I don't know what happened to Stop and Shop! The new store is drab and the healthier items are hard to locate. There are customers in the store screaming and fighting which is something I haven't encountered in the 20 years I've been shopping there. I don't care for the new model or the changes in the area. I am definitely disappointed. read more

This location in Bayside never have the sale items you go there the first day of the sale and they're sold out! It is happened to us at least seven times then they give you a rain check that last two weeks and you never get the sale price! But what really gets me? When it gets dark out, they lock the main entrance doors and keep the doors open the exit doors so people are coming out with their shopping carts and you're supposed to get in the exit oncoming traffic. Can you imagine if there was a fire. I'm surprised they haven't gotten a summons yet, it's a dangerous condition and it's been going on for months! in other words, the front main entrance is locked so you're forced to go into the exit side and people coming out of the exit at the same time. It's a very bad situation. The other Stop & Shop are much better. They always have the sale items and you don't have to deal with a possible dangerous condition.! read more

Located in Bay Terrace, this a smaller location than your typical Stop & Shop. I would say it is about a third of the size of a typical location. They do carry a wide variety of groceries, perishables and produce, but the prices are a little higher than ShopRite. Also, while this location is located in the Shopping Center, parking can be difficult to find during busier times like weekends in the evening, due to the fact there is an AMC Theater and Applebee's here as well and it gets full pretty fast. As far as the selection, while they do have a large selection, the amount of each is limited. So be ready to ask for a rain check for some items. Their digital coupons do save money, so be sure to download their app. Reason for 3 stars is their limited supply and prices. But still a better place to go than some of the independent grocers who charge way above market prices. read more

Friday was the Grand Opening of Stop & Shop in Bay Terrace and luckily every household got these weekly promotional coupons till the end of November. Woah the parking lot looks really packed in front of the supermarket than usual on a weekend. This is a great change to the neighborhood. As I walked into Stop & Shop, on my left was a guy making balloon animals for the kids, tables of free tasting of Glazed Donuts, Salami, Apples, and etc. Yes I tried the ones that are safe for me to eat because of my food allergies. The staff in the yellow shirts were restocking produce and etc and the staff in the blue shirts are behind the registers ringing up your purchase. read more

Shelves are empty yesterday I couldn't get a head of lettuce I was just in California and the shelves are stocked to capacity there Near us Food Bazaar formerly Fairway the shelves are full This Stop and Shop should be a signature store instead of the poor excuse it is I am tired of them blaming the pandemic as this started long before This is poor management from the top and they just don't care! There are very often long lines at the check out and the store managers see it and just walk by You never see an express line anymore which is a disgrace due to there are a lot of elderly shoppers who need that I only shop there due to the convenience of the store It is a shame read more

There are several amazing employees - cashiers - here at the Bay Terrace Stop & Shop who are SO friendly, SO helpful, patient, professional and kind. Just one example of the great team members here is Ally, who treated us like old friends yesterday when we checked out, even though we had never been in her aisle before. In a world where so many retail employees don't demonstrate great people skills and dedication to their jobs, the Bay Terrace Stop & Shop team really defies those stereotypes completely. Such a joy! Kudos to the great team and the managers of this store. You hire friendly, top-notch employees, and you clearly also train them to provide terrific customer service. Please keep up the great work, everyone - - - You make shopping here a real pleasure. read more

See the problem is, most people behind the counters in the deli area are off making packaged foods like chickens and other hot food, so there's one person stuck there to slice meats. The lines get ridiculously long, and slow. But when this sectioned pictured here are full with well priced deli selections, we can skip the long line. And that flavor-less potato salad, that people only eat in the summer... y'all can put that somewhere else! read more

At first the store was alright...fairly clean, shelves well stocked, decent variety, decent checkout clerks ... and above all, competitive pricing. None of that holds true anymore. Now the store is filthy with spillage on the floor, much fewer items to choose from, shelves not well stocked, and some of the clerks act like they'd rather be elsewhere. And the prices are going thru the roof! read more

To all my fellow Asians: DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE. I was going in to buy some groceries with my sister and the staff were racist. The staff made a snide comment about the coronavirus. That's alright. But to mention that we were from Wuhan, that was uncalled for. Instead of talking, how about actually do your job. The store is a mess and they're out of stock of everything. Everything's also overpriced. Save your money and spend it at a location that has respectful staff. read more
