King Kullen

I didn’t plan on writing a review, but having been an all year customer for 12 years I could not let the negative posts go unanswered.
— «Part time „slave“ labor» — sure, there are short timers during the summer, has anybody noticed that there is a difference in activity levels here between July and January? I know personally many employees who have been here for years, and just like the rest of us — some are happy, and some not.
— «More expensive than Trader Joes» — Duh!, where is the nearest Trader Joes’s? The prices are very competitive for the area. I can tell the difference when my wife returns from Citarella’s.
— Plusses — the hours, the butcher, the deli, the seafood monger, the beer selection, the snacks, ice creams, the bakery, the produce, OJ&juice selection and the location. And they do a good job of having an adequate number of cashiers on hand during rush periods. Online shopping. Did I mention the hours?
— Minusses — They could diversify their selections in some areas, rather than bulking up on the most popular brands/​flavors. And sure, they could be cheaper. Self-​service is still a pain.

These prices are absurd. $ 7.99 for organic butter?! Can buy for $ 2.99 at Trader Joe’s. And right before Thanksgiving, surely not a coincidence. Insane price-​gouging. Unethical, greedy. I did my shopping at Trader Joe’s instead which had everything I needed for at least half the price. Worth the extra drive too.

If you like paying more than you should for food this is the place for you! The store is a monster and poorly organized. Staff seems like they are all miserable, hate their life and job. My shopping experience was horrible from start and ended with an even worse experience at checkout. I get it, not much to choose from in the Hamptons so before you go in… just realize the experience is going to be bad and try to stay positive.

Great selection and much larger than all the other supermarkets in the area. I often use their online ordering service and have the groceries delivered for a small fee. The staff that handles their online ordering are AMAZING. They will call you to confirm substitutions and they always pick the best produce (sometimes pick better produce than i would!). Highly recommend this store and especially their online ordering.

This place isn’t that bad. Really big store, they also sell beer, have a great cheese department and vast produce section.
They are a little expensive with certain items and 2 employees told me the wrong aisle for the same item. 3^rd time was the charm.

The most expensive supermarket I’ve ever been in. Everything is designed for maximum profit from the prices to the layout to the self-​checkout to the underpaid staff kept part-​time to avoid having to give them benefits. Shelves are stocked by distributors — not staff — with the result that the same stuff can be in three or four different locations in the store. The deli has been the source of more than one food poisoning (google it).
When they opened they undercut the prices of every local market. When they all went out of business KK jacked up the prices. This is now the single most profitable store in the entire chain. Go to Riverhead and see how much lower the prices are in the KK there. Even the Hamptons gourmet markets are cheaper.

this is a supermarket and a good one, but should not be listed as a farm stand

Shopped here every week while living in the Hamptons. Prices are definitely lower than IGA or Wauldbaums. They have great weekly sales, too. Store is clean and organized. Staff members are very friendly and helpful.

I shop here a lot when in the Hamptons. They have everything I needed.

This place has tons of variety, but for a steep price. Selection was definetly there, everything was clean, but I have price standards that must be met!

24 hours!!! The only place in the Hamptons to get late night snacks or groceries. King Kullen never fails me. They have a vast selection of fresh, organic, kosher, and international foods. It’s a mega-​grocery store. You can get your dry cleaning done here while you shop! Local caught seafood and meats sold here. The aisles are very clean and well stocked even during the busiest times.

Great supermarket, has everything
GREAT beer selection, pretty good bakery, everything is fresh and clean (so fresh and so clean, clean). Every cold-​cut ever,
Awesome steaks.
Good seafood. There’s even a big health food /​organic section for all you vegans and other weirdos.
I heard the sushi chef is famous in some way or other. He does make some great stuff. The soups are good, too.
And then, everything else, which is always stocked, always presented well and clearly. And the prices are right.
Great produce. Really great. Theres a couple good farmstands up the road, though, that are so worth a second stop.
There’s a big foriegn food aisle, every ice cream you could want, rice, jeez, i dont even know what else. A florist. a dry cleaner, a red box— Everything. The store has Everything. Ask someone on the staff, they are usually suprising knowledgeable and helpful.

In terms of overall size and strength, this is your best option for a full grocery haul in the Hamptons. Occupying the spot where the old drive-​in used to be off Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton, King Kullen is open virtually 24 hours and has pretty much everything under the sun.
The layout is somewhat awkward, at least in part, as one end of the store curves back into a drinks section, but somehow throws off the helpful monotony of having one lane after one lane, all the same length. It would be fairly unusual to not find something in this grocery store. They have a large organic section for both regular food and fruits and vegetables, as well as countless rows of things you don’t really need, but come in handy when out here for a week or longer.
There are a lot of other smaller supermarkets in the Hamptons, but none have anywhere close to this selection and hours. You can be sure that you will not have to visit another place to finish off your shopping extravaganza.
The store is always clean, the staff is helpful and they are one of the only supermarkets that consistently stocks the Popsicle mini-​popsicles so they are golden in my book forever.
