Hello SUPER Target! I think I'm in love. I had a very strange day out with a friend who was visiting a few months ago. We definitely were shopping, on black Friday (very unlike us), and ended up here. We easily found a parking space, which is amazing cause the lot is usually a madhouse, especially Black Friday, what was I thinking!? We walked in, ordered our Starbucks drinks, grabbed a cart, and joined in the chaos. There were children screaming and people on phones randomly pushing carriages every which way, not really paying attention. The one thing I dislike about Target is I lose almost all my self control (or what I had left of it) and end up buying WAY too many things that I don't need here. I like to buy cleaning supplies here, and I am a sucker for mirrors, organizers of ANY TYPE, and cards, I have bought loads and loads of cards here. They have a good selection of jewelry and handbags at the greatlands now. And scarves, I have recently become addicted to buying scarves, Target takes care of that too. I always find PJs and boxers for my boyfriend here, he's kind of picky and likes to wear all cotton, blah blah blah, but since I steal them on the reg, I like to pick them out, and well... cotton is softer. I won't argue on that point. They also seem to have more sports related clothing than many other stores of this kind around here. I have found nice Bruins shirts (in the men's section) and Sox apparel too. read more

I never had a problem coming here. I drive from Back Bay even though there is one in Fenway. I usually have 3-4 bags on me. Even though it is going under a light renovation, it is getting better and better. More modern and brighter. I always come here for household supplies and sometimes some groceries. They always have what i need in stock. No complaint there. Checkout is usually fast but it is ALWAYS the customers who slow it down. NOT the machine and checkout person. ALWAYS the stupid customers complaining and saying 'that price is NOT right...' After they leave i tell the checkout person 'definitely not your fault. Stupid customer's fault.' Self checkout it is ALWAYS a breeze. Takes me 2-5 minutes to checkout depending on how many items i have (which is always under maximum items allowed at self checkout. It is easy to use self checkout. Not that hard people. BUT nope that one customer who takes forever to checkout. Anyway, this Target location is my go to. read more

After it's recent expansion that devoured most of the Watertown Mall, this Target is now really huge and has a large section of mostly unhealthy food. Only rates two of my stars because the larger the store, the fewer independent alternatives there are for shoppers. The renovation included a complete overhaul of the parking lot, but it's still totally unfriendly to anyone who doesn't get there by car. Wal-Mart alternative, but not quite as offensive. The second "t" is silent, isn't it? read more

I certainly love shopping at Target. I usually go in without any special plan, and end up buying nice stuff. From clothes to household items, and everything else you can think of it is truly one of the best "everything" stores. :-) read more

They are doing some CRAZY construction in the parking lot - moreso than usual. Generally whenever I go to Target, I expect to escape approximately 2-3 potential car wrecks. Today I couldn't turn my steering wheel fast enough - not to even mention i was almost hit WALKING about four times. Absurd. If you can, avoid the mess until the construction is over. The actual store isn't too bad - a standard Target, nothing to write home about. It's on the smaller side, and you have to compete with every BC/BU/Northeastern/Simmons/younametheschool student and parent. College '08 stuff is already out and I kid you not, some girl and her mom were clearing out the stackable storage aisle. So why go? It's target. Great prices, great variety. I can get woven wheats, a book, washcloths, a Swiffer, and a margarita machine in one stop. Brilliant. Not so brilliant? Not the sort of place to go if you have no self control. I can't leave without spending at least $50. Rough. read more

OK, i have a love hate relationship with target. on one hand its, so close to my house and i get almost everything here. whether it be an emergency; specific color shirt, pair of sunglasses or tinted moisturizer etc.etc. (believe me, the list goes on and on and on) target is always there for me. it may eat alot of my money and time but it has never totally let me down when in a crunch or for other regular daily needs! oh ya, when its rush hour driving its rush hour target too. beware of lots of people with carriages read more

As far as Targets go I have experienced much better. This store is commonly out of everyday items, lines are super long and the staff are unfriendly. What annoys me the most is there wedding registry system. This is one of the places we registered. Not only did the gun thing not save our items and I had to redo it at home later they are also really mean when it comes to returning things. Things that I could prove where bought there from them. Not to mention they where the ones who screwed up since I received 4 of the same Tupperware at my shower! read more

I give 5 stars to Phil or Philip at electronics department when I wanted a quicker checkout. I was shopping around for a speaker and he suggested the small Altec speaker and I love it so I went back another time to buy an extra one for my BF. He also helped me get more savings through cartwheel and that there were actually wifi at the store which I didn't know about all these years. Now I won't be lost. He is very friendly and alert to all customers. Thumbs up for him. But I didn't like Sally at the front checkout before so I went to electronics. Received much better service. Sally was just childish, rude, impatient and it showed all over her face. Annoying kid. David or Dave is very nice at grocery. One time he showed me about texting a code to get more savings. I always pick up milk from here. The most disgusting is the restrooms!!! Why does all Target restrooms smell like that? You sell Febreeze so spray in there!!! This store has the dirtiest restrooms. It's not rocket science. Have someone to clean up every half an hour. Really nasty. The front cashiers need to be more friendly!!!! Is it that difficult to say "hi and thank you"???? read more

This is Dystopian Target. Nothing on the shelves, products strewn out over the aisles, employees yelling at each other. I had to leave this target because it was depressing me, and because it was impossible to find anything in their chaos. read more

I'm with Kathleen M. on this one...what's with the carts and the dopes who don't have the self-awareness to move? She's right too, I've gotten the "glare n stare" when I've mustered the nerve to utter a hesitant, but polite "excuse me...." then there was the time that a Target employee pulling a huge cart heavy boxes rammed my cart and just missed crushing my 9 month old daughter's fingers...uh, HELLLOOOO. Okay, here's one more...the lady who accosted me in the parking lot when I was pregnant and pulling my 1 1/2 yo son out his car seat. My belly hit my car door and literally touched hers..can you say PSYCHO. ( I still wonder where these demented broad went). On the other hand, this Target is very convenient to my house, and I'm in the market for diapers and butt wipers, what's a girl to do? Where else can I get out for a quick shop in a baseball cap and some nasty old jeans covered in baby food and god knows what else. So, to sum it all up...people at Target = Bad. Target = Good (if you are a mom in need of a no hassle morning out that also enables you to pick up a few necessities, a gossip rag and some Goldfish). Have fun, you have been warned. read more

Target has a nice selection of items, if you're looking to do all your shopping in once place. I was impressed with their toy selection, and I love the fact that they have lots of Hello Kitty items. However, this Target is kind of a mess. The aisles are too narrow, stuff is always in the wrong place, which makes it hard to find out how much something costs (unless you're near a price scanner). Also, the salespeople here aren't very helpful. I've asked for help finding something many times, only to get a "Duuuuuuuuuuh" response from whomever is on the floor. The cashiers aren't rude, but it's obvious they don't want to be there. I don't blame them. read more

I love Target, but this one somehow manages to never have the items I want in stock....cute shirt? No mediums in sight....swiffer wet jet? Forget it, sugar, keep dreaming, all the BC students beat you to it. Underbed storage, kitchen trash can, mirror for the wall? Where, oh where, could you be? Luckily, there were plenty of furniture coasters to protect my hardwood floors. Maybe I'm the only one in Brighton obsessed with preventing scratch marks? Tried tonight just to get a basic casual dress for a b-day party I need to go to, but since the ladies won't fit in an XS/S, and I'd rather not swim in a XXL, I'm out of luck. read more

Two is pretty generous. This Target is often out of stock of brand makeup, common clothing sizes, or it just hates me and is always out of what I need. It's a mess and unorganized. To make matters worse, it is so packed because its one of the few Targets in the area. Even even if you know exactly what you want and they do happen to be in stock you can't get to it because moms their kids and often the entire friggen family goes on an outing to gawk at things, awkwardly blocking the isles. It is infuriating when you are just trying to pick up few essentails and can't even get to your isle in less than 5 minutes. Target is great, but this one is the target from hell. read more

I feel like Target did a major bait and switch, rather effectively branding themselves as the stylish, hip alternative to WalMart, etc., and then just kind of turning into WalMart, etc., once they'd won that certain section of the population over. That said, they're pretty cheap, and this location is pretty convenient to my Brighton home. Plus you do tend to find crap you didn't know you wanted that you really don't need but you go ahead and get anyhow, like the collapseable nylon tunnel I got for our cats last time I was there, or the four boxes of Morningstar breakfast soysage I picked up last summer because Stop and Shop is so often out of it. read more

I headed to target today to get a few necessities and also bought jam. When I got home and opened the jar, I found a nice layer of mold right on the top. NASTY. Try harder, Target! read more

See all

Couldn't believe how big, bright and clean this store is compared to all targets! I feel like all of them are so dark and creepy. The Starbucks was better than my daily one!! I asked for help from an employee who was kind and helpful then Fan girled realizing she's one of my FAV artists Ashley Rose Couture!! Made my week!!! I will definitely be only shopping at this one. Looking forward to all the changes at the mall across the street too!! read more

Nice big target. But the employees are so rude, always so miserable at work. One time I asked an employee working on the floor if he had an item out back, he said in return "really, all of this for a curtain?" The curtain I bought had a hole in it, and I had the others hung, so yes. Then, customer service rep Jessica gave me the worst customer service experience I've ever had. Incredibly rude, laughed in your face, and walked away when you were talking to her. read more

This is a pretty good target. I go here a lot. The restrooms are clean and they usually have the items that I'm looking for. You can use Target's Wi-Fi and find an items location with your Target app on your iPhone read more

Where shall I start? I entered this facility with one item in mind: Christmas lights (holiday lights for a more PC term). Little to my surprise, Target apparently doesn't sell this item. I was appalled to find that they carry chandeliers that cost upwards of $100, but no holiday lights. It's literally a bunch of bulbs on an electrical cord. This isn't rocket science. I can get it off Amazon for $7. This is why your business is failing. You fail to grasp the common needs of the average citizen. read more

All I want to say is that if you put the sale sign, you need to honor it. Now, if you make a mistake and did not stock right, you admit it and apologize. Pointing fingers to your client was simply unacceptable. I wonder why this store only has 2.5 stars. FYI, the real cost is $6 per bag. The explanation I got was they were not in Halloween packaging, well, which one was? read more

Awful experience! I never write bad reviews, but the store was a mess... I couldn't find anything I can usually find in a TARGET... and I had trouble buying wine... my out of state ID wouldn't scan or something... I'm 26, I've never had trouble buying wine at any other Target EVER. My boyfriend who has a MA license, who's 30 had the same problem...they wouldn't sell the wine to him either... when he's bought wine at that same Target before... VERY frustrating... I will not be shopping at this Target again. read more

It's a great store that you can get all your needs at the same place! Great customer service and policy returns!

Nice clean store , well organized and fully stocked salespeople were helpful and self checkout was efficient.Went in for a few essentials good service convenient location . read more

Definitely the worst target in the area, as others have said. Horribly disorganized and completely unhelpful staff. If you are able to go to literally any other Target, please do. Don't give this one any money. Even doing order pick up with them is horrible because they'll never actually have everything ready for you when they say they do and you'll wait there for 30 minutes while some poor guy runs around the store finding your stuff. It saves no time. I went there once and they had no dishwasher detergent, like nothing, from any brand. read more

Wow, it's rare that I read so many 3-star reviews that say that a store has everything but sucks. If you read some of the recent reviews and then looked at how many stars they give this store, there is something strange going on. Look, this place isn't a Target Store. It's really a Super Target. The place is huge and it has a ton of products in there. A lot of reviewers have complained that they go into the store and none of the employees ask if they need help. Seriously? This isn't a department store where you are paying premium prices so the place can hire enough people to ask you if you need help. Let's be real, wouldn't we all rather pay less even if it meant that we had to spend a bit more time looking around for something? And that doesn't mean that everything here is cheaper than at other places. Some things aren't. That's why we have smartphones. And if you don't have a smartphone, then you have something called "pen and paper" to write down the prices and compare them to other places. When I go into a place like Target, I care about three things: good selection of items, decent prices, and an efficient checkout system. This Target store has all of them, so I give it five stars. Are there are a lot of people there? Absolutely. But guess what? That's why they have a wide selection of stuff there. If fewer people went there, then the store would have to cut back on its selection and just stock the most widely demanded stuff. It's the same problem you have to deal with at Market Basket or at Russo's. Is the parking lot full? Absolutely, because most people drive there. Will your car get damaged (e.g. keyed, dented by a door from an adjacent car, fender bended, etc.)? Probably. Should they have painted the parking spaces to be wider? Probably. Should single people or those with just 1 child stop driving SUV's, vans, and trucks that take up more volume in a parking space? Definitely (unless you absolutely believe that your personal comfort takes precedent over the fate of this planet as global warming accelerates. Then in that case, you can complain about small parking spaces and how your Mercedes G-Class SUV/tank is constantly getting scratched in parking lots). Does this parking lot tend to have a noticeable rate of thefts? Yes. But guess what? It's still nothing compared to what happens when you try to park at the parking lot in Porter Square. Despite all the green technology that the Porter Square Mall (the mall with the Star Market in it) has, the parking spaces are so narrow that the only thing you can feel comfortable parking in the parking spaces there is a bicycle. So, this Target's parking lot isn't so bad. Ah yes, I'm an eternal optimist. As for employee conditions, I don't know, and I'm not sure that it's something that should be addressed on Yelp. Isn't this site supposed to be talking about the consumer experience? If we're going to start knocking off stars in our reviews because we don't like the business practices of a place, then all of us are going to have to start downgrading most of the reviews we've written for ethnic restaurants which use cheaper non-ethnic cooks. And by the way, that's not saying that a cheaper non-ethnic cook can't do as well as an ethnic cook at an ethnic restaurant. It's possible but not probable. I've seen way too many times where restaurants have done this with bad results. Some of you may disagree, but I'm a pretty highly educated guy, and there's not a chance in hell that I would ever decieve myself into thinking that I could cook Thai food or French food better than trained chefs who grew up eating that food their entire lives. Btw, one other great advantage about going to this Target is that they have one of the last remaining Friendly's restaurants. For someone like me who was born and raised in Boston, there are all sorts of childhood memories about Friendly's (and also Brigham's). So, it's great to go there and give them some support, even though they are not as polished as some other restaurants. But hey, we support Fenway Park, and there's absolutely no way that anyone can tell me that it's as comfortable to sit there (unless you sit in one of the expensive seats) as in a newer ballpark like AT&T Park (home of the SF Giants) or even (gasp) Yankee Stadium. Yeah, that last one pained me to say, but it's all about telling the truth. So, don't believe all the 3-star reviews about this Target. If you like variety and decent prices, go there and revel in being part of the crowd. read more

I wish i could give -0 for the lady manager. She is rude indisciplined and arrogant. I wish I had never gone there.

I was so excited to see that the renovations are finally complete (I think). The place feels brighter, bigger and better... Except for the workers! Imagine a busy Saturday around noon-ish (first mistake), and we mostly know what we need (somehow, a second mistake). On the way to the cleaning supplies, we were almost run over by not one, not two, but three workers pushing pallet-wide carts with crap on it to restock (a packed store on a Saturday makes perfect sense to restock the aisles, hello management). We finally get to the aisle we need and a worker, walks in front of the shelves we are looking at and begins making everything look pretty. She continues lining things up to make even the most particular OCD-er happy (while completely standing in our way) up until the point we make a decision, reach around her to get it, when she decides to leave. She then proceeds to leave WHOLE aisle, not just that section of the aisle. Like, did she really have to cut in front of us to make that one spot look pretty and there was no where else for her to be? I was looking through the aisle to see where she went and she was kinda following us and I swear she was going to follow us to our next aisle, just to get in the way again. It shouldn't be this hard... P.S. They double charged us for an item. Score! That meant another trip there to correct the problem. At least the people at Customer Service seem to have it together as the correction was really easy and quick. read more

Security breach qualms aside, this place is the embodiment of a "3" star review. It serves a purpose and I enjoy living within 1.5 miles from it, but it's somewhat expensive and the inside (minus the people) could probably be confused with a Wal-Mart. Customer service is spotty, depending on who you talk to. read more

One stop shopping at its finest! I LOVE Target (the hipper cousin to dowdy Walmart). I always go in with the intention of buying just one or two household items, but I nearly always walk out with about a half dozen more items that I didn't really need, but I thought were just super cute or really cheap (stockin' up). Of course, they cover all the basic household/home goods, but it's the cheap & trendy accessories and affordably priced "designer-label" fashions that keep me happy like a kid in a candy store. Great shoe section too. Sure, the goods aren't going to last you more than a season or two, but at these bargain prices you can get quite the bang for your buck. And I always cruise by the $1 section up front because you can score cheap goodies like adorable gift bags and cosmetic cases. read more

I was so excited when our Target started selling beer and wine. Makes shopping with a toddler so much easier. Yesterday I went in as usual, picked up everything I needed (including a few bottles of wine), waited in the long check out line and when I got up to pay I was told by the cashier I couldn't purchase my wine from that lane! What!? You want me to wait in another line just for the wine? No lanes were labeled that way. I can't believe it!! I left the wine behind and purchased it at another store. Which was the whole purpose of target being such a great ONE STOP SHOP!! Get it together Target! read more

I'd give it more stars but this target is always trashed. I've spoken to the general manager, who got on the walkie-talkie and told someone to clean up outside because trash was blowing all over the lot. I left the store about 45 minutes later to see all the trash blowing around and all the garbage cans overflowing. It's the same thing at the inside the store where they're supposed to be wipes for the carts. The trash receptacles there are always overflowing and they just pile up garbage and boxes on the floor around them. It's disgusting. I talked to the manager again that night, but nothing has been done. The manager blames the cleaning company. So get a new cleaning company! They should be cited for littering. read more

when josh and i moved back to boston, we spent like two grand here, no joke. we got the target card and everything and made a trip at least once a weekend. i don't know what we would have done without it. now that the house is set up, we are there less and less. we still stock up on groceries here sometimes ($2.77 SmartOnes? score!) and get all our paper and cleaning supplies here. when we DO go, however, we need a list, otherwise a quick shopping trip turns into a monstrous shopping trip and a $150 bill (ooh - that pot is so cute and on sale! ooh - funky wine glasses! - ooh i totally need these accents for our bathroom! ooh - this red lamp would look great near the piano! ooh - these dvds are like ten bucks!) its like we are possessed and our eyes have morphed into little red targets. so overall, a GREAT place for day to day items but shop with caution. that cart will get full on its own - i swear. extra points for proximity to best buy, home depot, the gap outlet and my house. read more

This is a very clean target. The popcorn wafts through the air and it is $1.04 for a penny more you can get a soda! That is a deal to me. The parking lot is ample, don't understand the post that says the parking lot is weird. Go early in the morning and you'll get a spot right by the entrance. The deals are great, the clothes are comfy and the cashiers are friendly. It is a one stop shopping trip for me. read more

Tonight I went in to buy a cord 6ft extension for 1.64. Lady rings and it says 8. I said 'that's what it has on the tag'. She said no it's too long to be 1.64 Needless to say, that's incorrect. You're a target employee, not an electrician. Fuck you target employees I hate you all read more

You can't really complain. The store is big. I live in the Residence Inn nearby and go where when I want to cook something.

I love Target. Not because it is closest store to my house but because they carry a wide variety of good quality stuff. I usually don't buy clothes from stores like these but I was quite surprised to find really nice sweaters here. Their toys section is the best. The prices are quite good compared to other toy stores. My son loves Target too. read more

I love Target. However the customer service at this location is TERRIBLE. I visit this Target often, and 3 out of 5 times there is a mistake on my receipt after I check out. When I find a mistake, I have to go to customer service and wait in the usually long line to get it corrected. At checkout, I have more than once ended up with the checkout lady who clearly has no interest in being at work. When I was checking out with her recently, I had an item which had a missing bar code. When she noticed, she stared at me, then asked me if I could get another one. Really? I just waited in line with two screaming children for 15 minutes and now you want me to run back through the store with them to find something? When I asked, "Can you ask someone to get it for me?", she rolled her eyes and asked another employee to grab another one of my items. Was that so hard? I have called the store to check if they have items before, and this experience is worse than actually going to the store! I get passed around to person after person, with no one having any idea what department they work in or what is in that department. Once I called with a simple question as to whether they sold sheets that would fit a crib mattress. Any baby sheets would do. After being on the phone for 30 minutes and being passed around to 4 different people, no one was able to give me an answer! They told me to just come down to the store to see if they have what I was looking for. Again, with two overactive kids to bring with me, I would rather be sure the store has the one item I'm looking for so as not to take a pointless trip. I really want to like this store, but I am going to have to drive a little further and go to a different one from now on due to the mediocre customer service at this location. read more

I shop here a lot. Too much. Think I may have a problem Besides them always moving things around the place is decent. But I have to say the Asian cashier is the rudest man I have ever experienced as a cashier. Anywhere. . I try to avoid his line after he gave me a hard time awhile back But sometimes there is no choice. I said hello how are you? He grunted as usual. Seemed extremely annoyed at the fact I had a lot of stuff. Or maybe that I was shopping there at all. Threw things around and yelled at my bf because he picked up a case of water and instead of just scanning he insisted we put the water in the cart and push it over to him. He is ridiculous. He's worked there forever too. I know this area in general isn't the friendliest. But this is guy is ridiculous. He's angry, disgruntled, and very unpleasant. Ok the Starbucks here is terrible. Miserable ypung lady told me that she could not make me a Frappuccino because She was cleaning that area. (It was an hour before closing) if I treated customers at my job like that I wouldn't have one. read more

For the life of me, I can't figure out why this Target is a nuthouse. No matter what time of the day, the parking lot is like a war zone, the store is jam packed and the customers have yet to realize that there are two rows of cashiers, not just one. I'd rather drive to Somerville read more

This place is always a zoo but it is one of the better Targets in the area and closest to me so I wont stop going here. They are hit or miss. Staff isn't always very pleasant and usually very hard to find but check out lines usually are nice enough and tons are open so you don't have to wait too long usually. Furniture and toy selection is pretty good and grocery area is fine... no fresh but decent selection of frozen and the essentials. The parking sucks for this place... always a zoo and people don't pay attention so be careful. I would not recommend coming on the weekend unless you absolutely have to :) read more
