I used to do almost all of my grocery shopping at Stop & Shop, but over the years, with more options becoming available, I've found myself shopping there less and less. With places like Market Basket, Dave's, and Big Y being more convenient alternatives, I just don't feel like Stop & Shop offers the same value that it used to. One of my biggest issues is the quality of the produce, especially the fruit. I've purchased fruit here that doesn't seem particularly fresh and often doesn't last more than a couple of days in the refrigerator, which I find unusual. When I'm paying higher grocery prices, I expect the quality to match. I also have concerns about some of the products they continue to carry. For example, I personally was uncomfortable seeing Driscoll's strawberries still being sold after the concerns and media coverage surrounding pesticide exposure and cancer risks. That definitely made me question the choices being made when it comes to certain products. Price is another major factor. Stop & Shop is noticeably more expensive than Market Basket, and honestly, I don't understand the price difference when I feel that Market Basket often has better quality produce and overall value. Big Y is also another option for me, even though it's a little farther away. I actually stopped at this Stop & Shop today primarily because I needed to go to Citizens Bank, which is conveniently located inside many Stop & Shop locations. While I was there, I picked up a few things I needed for the house. I will say that the shelves were well stocked, which was a positive. However, for a Saturday, having only two registers open wasn't ideal and basically forced me to use self-checkout, which I'm not a huge fan of. Overall, the store was fine for grabbing a few necessities, but I just don't find myself choosing Stop & Shop for my main grocery shopping anymore. There are simply other stores that I feel offer better prices, better quality, and a better overall value. read more

This S&S is never stocked well and it's so chaotic. The layout is completely different than any other S&S I've shopped at over the years, the veggie section alone is enough to give you a headache. Only positive? Staff is friendly read more

Where to start? Although they advertise lower prices for RI locations, I don't see it. On average, prices are $1 higher than the much smaller chain, Dave's Marketplace. And the sale gimmicks drive me crazy. BOGO, buy 2 get one, get this price for roast if you spend X, digital coupons. If you put something on sale, just put it on sale.. I now go to a stop and shop as a last resort. I'm sure that a rep will respond like they did on my last review. Same issues, same lame response. It's no wonder they are not New England's grocer. read more

Came here after discovering the Target in the same shopping plaza does not carry fresh fruit and fresh herbs. It was convenient that both these items are located right at the front of this store. There were long lines on a Saturday afternoon for regular check out so I opted for self checkout and was helped out with the fruit by the attendant who was really nice and friendly. Kudos for an experienced and helpful person working around the self checkout, however, I prefer to do regular check out with a real person. Main negative here is that it was much pricier than where I usually shop (Trader Joe's and Market Basket). read more

The last 5 pickup orders have had missing, incorrect or rotten items. I have two young children, I place large orders that I physically can't fit into my cart with the kids in there. The only option for me to shop at your store is grocery pickup, which is now becoming unfeasible. read more

I want to tell you I met an awesome employee of Stop and Shop at the Lincoln Mall store. HIS NAME WAS MR. Miner. I was so impressed at how clean and neatly organized his fish department is. I've been in other Stop and Shop where you can smell the fish department at the front door entrance. this was immaculate and extremely impressive display. you should keep this employee and use his fish department as a show piece to other managers as to how they should keep their fish department. I'll go to this store from now on although I live much closer to another. Janice Paul read more

Good grief. Is there any corporate supervision of this location? Empty shelves, empty refrigerators and homeless people just outside the door asking for your food. read more

I went here to grab something quick for lunch. So I went to the deli to find something. I had a choice of prepackaged subs, popcorn chicken, or quesadillas. I wasn't feeling the chicken, I had a bad experience with a supermarket sub previously, so I decided to try my luck on the quesadilla. Bad choice. It always seems that these places keep these things stocked for multiple days and the flavors and smells linger into each other, causing them to taste undesirable. Also, I had to return a Redbox movie and the machine was off and no one could help me. read more

WTH? What a terrible user experience today. I've been consistently shopping at this location in Lincoln RI for several years and spending hundreds of dollars a week. I loved knowing where items were so I could get in about as quickly as possible... today that broke. What used to be a major draw was a nice consolidation of healthier items clustered together... but some algorithm and shopping flow analysis that apparently costs SnS millions of dollars (according to the manager in duty) has decided to blow it all up. What a shopping disaster and customer satisfaction MISS! Imagine using a map app (or any app) as your goto reliable source of truths... then being surprised without warning or prep that North is now East and West is South... very challenging day for my brain. Good food shopping should be easy, predictable and rewarding (if you are shopping for bargains)... today was none of the above. I know this review will mean nothing to the management and nothing will be done, but do know this store just sucked the shopping life out this extremely loyal customer. Do yourself a favor and provide an updated map for where items used to be and are now relocated to- IMO that would help with many stressed out users pains and ease the transition to your new "EPIC" layout. Can I give zero stars? read more

Stop & Shop prices are getting ridiculously high. A couple times I got made milk but had no problem with returning it.

While this S&S does have a decent organic foods section, I was really disappointed in their fresh produce. I mean, I know it's January, but wilted lettuce? Mushy clementines? No fresh kale to speak of? Perhaps I'm spoiled by the Whole Foods we have in Providence, but this veggie selection left a lot to be desired. I did enjoy their International Foods aisle and was able to find some great stuff to make a nice homemade puttanesca. The store was also pretty clean and well-kept in addition to being pretty huge. However, the staff were really unprofessional -- teenagers regaling each other with last night's exploits whilst bagging my goods I could have done without. read more

See all

Went today and the store has hardly any product. One worker in the deli no stew meat no chicken tenders or breast. No celery no asparagus. Went to Shaws and store was loaded with all the things stop and shop didn't have. I'll take my $200 dollars a week to Shaws and Dave's from now on. Time to close this dump!! read more

Just your typical run-of-the-mill Stop and Shop's here. It's located in the Lincoln Mall Plaza with plenty of parking. I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of items in the produce section. Other than that, there's nothing really notable about this location, you'll most likely find what you're looking for. The store was clean, and the one employee that we did encounter was very pleasant and assisted us locate and item. read more

I rarely leave reviews, especially bad ones. However, I've been burned by the produce section at this location one too many times now. For the fourth time, organic tomatoes that I bought the day before have gone completely moldy within 24 hours. I've never experienced this with any other Stop & Shop, or any other grocery store. I just can't shop here for my family anymore, and I hate to say this. I like the chain in general, and especially the store brand organics. The cleanliness of the store, and especially the fish section are remarkably worse than at other Stop & Shops I go to (Seekonk is a night and day difference). Yesterday, I couldn't even see through the water in the lobster tank. This location is incredibly convenient for me, however I will now be driving out of my way to go to any other grocery store besides this one. So disappointing! read more

What AMAZING customer service I experienced at this store!!! To make a very long story short - the store managers Dave and Courtney went above and beyond to solve a very expensive mistake I made and I couldn't be more indebted to them for helping me. Most people would have told me I was on my own to fix my costly mistake but luckily for me it happened at this Stop n Shop and I couldn't be happier that it did. So thank you Dave and Courtney- because of you I will be able to give my kid a good Christmas instead of having to pay for that costly mistake and I am so grateful. I hope your bosses see this comment and give you both promotions and raises because you definitely deserve them. Thanks again! read more

The store itself is like all other stop and shops. The produce sections is pretty big. I don't shop here a lot but I do peapod pickup at this location. It seriously has saved my life on many occasions. I can avoid shopping pre-blizzards, pre-holidays and with kids. Pickup is free and they accept coupons. Prices are about the same as in store, with sales varying slightly. It is easier to budget because everything you put in online cart is added up. You literally just pull in the bay, pop trunk and they put your stuff in. You get a 1 hour window to pickup. I find this better than delivery since I hate waiting. read more

PeaPod Delivery driver blasting radio as he's unloading my neighbor's groceries. My son was napping. This is a convenient service, I know, but the noise of unloading the bins and the music blasting was enough to keep me from ordering. read more

I am ashamed to mention that I've gone to enough Stop & Shops to make a statement comparing this and other Stop & Shops. Overall, I was able to find most of the items, although the flower selection was quite sparse and most of the roses were wilted. I was also a little disappointed by the birthday card selections as well, and could only pick from a handful for my father's birthday. At the end of the day, you'll likely find what you need here, but it's just not the best Stop & Shop I've been. read more

Haven't been to this location in years. Walked up to the door at 8 pm and the door was locked. Sign says open til 10 pm and there are people inside, so I entered the exit door. Got yelled at by an employee that "even before the pandemic we locked that door at 8 pm." How am I supposed to know that if there is no sign and haven't shopped there in a long time? Horrible customer service. read more

It's a good store if you're out shopping, and need to pick up some groceries on the way home. It doesn't seem like it offers as much variation (especially for the meat and seafood department) when compared to other stop and shops. Overall ok. read more

The store is convenient to my work commute and had all the foods that I need. Decent pricing and fresh produce.

The worst place to go if you want deli. They just closed the department. Not that the service ever was even close to being good, but now you can't even order what you want. Take it as they want to sell it or go somewhere else. read more

I wouldn't have bothered to review as, well, it's Stop & Shop, but this location is unique because it offers Peapod PICKUP! I order my groceries online, select a day & time, and just pull up and pop the trunk to receive my groceries. Sure, the teenagers who do the transfer of groceries to your trunk tend to be surly, but who cares? The signs say no tipping and I don't have to go inside! I've always been satisfied, even with the preselected produce. I might actually die if they ever discontinue this service. read more
