ShopRite of Lyndhurst

I’m writing this review for the prepared hot and cold food section which is really fantastic.
Great salad bar, nice fresh greens cold salads including seafood and tuna, great olive bar on the opposite side.
Hot foods also ready to go or dine in the ample dining area, a real plus for professional drivers in the area who want a good meal fast and fresh.
Only thing is improve is even more variety and especially more salad dressing options such as balsamic vinaigrette maybe a Japanese style carrot ginger.

Have shopped here for 14 years store has gone downhill micro manager peter ruined this store employees hate working thier quality of produce, fish and meat is horrible. Shelves are empty and the new in serra shoprite they opened east rutherford is no better make sure to check dates on items

I live in Lyndhurst for over 30 years but I will drive a few minutes over the bridge to Beleville location. Why?
1. Cleaner store
2. Fresh Produce
3 High degree of professionalism.
4. Friendliness
5. Speed of service (all processing lanes open)
Lyndhurst location is a nightmare!

Nice grocery store, but a little expensive. May be helpful to have a little more friendly cashiers.

It is a store but I am a fan of Shop-​Rite. Regardless their prices are consistently better then Pathmark A&P and Stop N Shop. They had redone the place over a year ago and the set up is very nice. But like all Shop Rites this place is packed, in fact the Lyndhurst store is supposedly number 2 in the state in profitability. What I cannot stand however, is their ridiculous parking lot. Basically one way in and out makes no sense. The other way means you essentially go outside the store with the same exit.

I always always shop here never had any issues. Line always moves quick. After there renovations the place has incredibly improved. The new bakery area is so good. Always has some type of free sample. They have the best fresh cakes here and ready to eat food like there wings and chicken tenders and fries. Can’t go wrong here. Always suggest this place and a very accessible location as well.

I actually like this location.
Huge store with good fresh produce, decent deli counter (wait is a bit long at times), also not a bad fresh fish section. Staff on the whole are friendly. Overall prices are very reasonable here.
Wish they had a better bread/​bakery selection.
Parking is horrible even if there is always availabilty it’s a weird lot to navigate.
If you don’t like busy grocery stores you should not come here.
Not the best grocery store but def not the worst either.

The great thing about this store is it allows me to experience what it’s like to shop for food in third-​world countries without all the bother and expense of travelling outside the country. I have been going here for six years because I am stuck in bumf**k Rutherford, where all the grocery stores have folded, and I have never once been able to get everything on my list — and my lists aren’t very long or idiosyncratic. I also love this store because I don’t have to wait two weeks for my produce to spoil in the fridge, it’s usually spoiled by the time I get it home. Once, I bought two packs of celery, and got home to discover they had been frozen, completely damaged internally, and then thawed for resale. The sign outside says «OPEN 7 to MIDNIGHT,» but don’t bother going after 9:30, because the stock boys have blocked off all the aisles with their carts and racks and pallets, making it impossible to get to the shelves. And the cashiers are really slow — I mean, REALLY slow, literally and figuratively. I’m almost glad they did away with the 2-​cent rebate for every bag you bring from home so that I don’t have to hear one more time, «How many bags do you have, sir?» when I haven’t even finished loading the conveyor belt («I won’t know until I’m done bagging, now, will I?»). Nor are they pleasant in general — I know many of them by name, and do my best to be nice, but they are either chewing gum with their mouths open, talking to other staff instead of looking at what they are doing (or doing their jobs at all), or having some sort of problem that requires turning on the red light and waiting ten minutes for a manager to come and press two buttons. If you have your heart set on a particular item, better hope it’s not on sale, because it will be gone — I’d really rather they just lower their prices in general so I can actually find some of the things I need. And don’t even bother with the Thanksgiving and Christmas free ham, lasagna, or turkey offer — the free ones are very specific, unmarked, and usually gone within the first hour of the store opening. Just an all-​around crappy experience that’s best avoided if possible…

I have been coming here for about a year now from Texas, I lived in Jersey City for a spell, and had only Morton Williams to compare grocery shopping to that. In that respect, the employees seemed better and have never done anything to prompt me to right a Unilocal.However, I think that I am able to give a fair assessment considering that 98% of my grocery shopping is done there.
(By the way, I have Facebook friends that were my cashiers in the grocery stores in which I frequented)
I have only had 2 occasions to which I will remember for a long time.
#1 I was looking at the left over sushi early in the morning and I left. One of the sushi makers ran after me and told me that he is willing to make me anything fresh and asked me to return to his section.
#2 one of the women in the seafood section was a smiley friendly face and I really enjoyed her insight and fish suggestions.
However, these 2 examples are noted (extremely isolated). It does not replace the numerous accounts of just running into your average «run of the mill jerk of an employee» that I have become callous to. I cannot, and will never understand how long one shoprite employee must work that he/​she needs to put in, in order to justify being crappy to a customer.
How many hours?
Does management or the labor union know that there are employees that work «long hours» out there? If my boss knew that I was getting pissy to his customers, he would immediately cut my hours-(I’m pretty sure. I haven’t really tested this theory yet).
So I will give 2 stars for 2 different reasons One star goes to the customers like myself, who are also too tired to go to management after a long days’ work and not want to deal with a jacked-​up situation. (And inevitably let these «overworked» employees lash out at them. The second star goes to the other 20% of the good employees that would never treat me like the others. They deserve it, and I pray that they will keep their great attitude.

Deli Department is a bit slow during the day which is why i do most of my grocery shopping at night now. Best time to go.
Great selection and good sales every month. Parking is amble, red box right out front and large hot buffet area with fresh sushi, & rotisserie chickens.
Excellent meats dept., butchers will separate the tenderloin tails which are my fave. Good frozen burger selection and lots of ribs, pork & chicken.
Better prices than stop & shop. Just don’t go during 2−7pm. Close at Midnight!

I only go here because it’s the closest food store to my house. I dread going to their deli because the deli staff is so slow and unenthusiastic about life. I get it. No one wants to juggle meats and cheeses all day or wear a white smock and shop rite baseball hat-​shit sucks, but at least stock the «to-​go» area so no one has to wait on the 25 minute deli line. Their produce is usually not too fresh looking. I often question it. I am not certain the produce is actually edible. The store itself is a human pile up of a disaster. I mean, yes, it’s a food store, but seriously-​once you go in, you’re stuck in there far longer than you wish to be.
Unless you are getting a candy bar from the check out line, don’t bother going in. It’s otherwise worthless.
I also wanted to update upon going there today. I went to buy my lactose free milk (which already has a later expiration date than most milks. Well they were completely stocked up on expired milk. I let en employee know and she looked at me like I just shit my pants. Yes. You milk is expired… all of them. Maybe you should take care of that.

The Deli department is disgusting, just look at where they keep the cold cuts.

Clean, well-​organized, and has great neighbors (HomeGoods YAY!!!) two things to NOT purchase: Portuguese rolls (first, I saw a chick forego the bread napkin and rummage through them with her bare hand — she literally squeezed about a dozen before picking one) and Challah bread. The latter tasted like rubbing alchohol on day one; the former grew mold on day three. Means both were half-​baked. Should they change bakery vendors/​procedures (and lifetime-​ban the roll-​grabbing chick), I would consider an upgrade to five. Prices so-​so for ShopRites in general, but very good for the area. If I didn’t own a Prius and not care about gas, I’d do all my shopping here.

This ShopRite is great because it has amazing sales for members. My mom goes here and saves a bundle using her members card.
They have a lot of product. I have been able to find everything I have ever needed at this facility. They also recently expanded and renovated. The produce section is large and bountiful. The store got a generous upgrade in aesthetics and product.
They are extremely clean as well. The bathrooms are nice and the aisles are spotless. I never once felt grimy here.
They also make it a priority to hire men and women that have disabilities that would make it difficult to work at other jobs. I have met a hardworking deaf man that bags groceries here and many mentally disabled persons hold positions with assistance from other employees. I love that about them! They give them a chance and they set them up for success.
To top it off, I will say that the best time to shop is at night (6:00 to 9:00 pm) because the rush is over. There is plenty of parking in front and to the side though so even when it’s busy there is parking (you may have to hike to the front doors but hey at least you didn’t have to circle the parking lot for hours to find a spot). The surrounding stores are great as well. There is a Super Cuts, pizza place, Home Goods, and more.
This is the ShopRite I always buy my groceries at and I recommend it to anyone that asks.

I have been going here for many years and not many complaints except when an item is sold out, it is weeks before it is reordered– sometimes not at all. Lately, they have revamped the store, put in a larger dining type area with tables and chairs (also freezing if you sit anywhere near the windows) and they have also changed the floral shop and bakery areas. Staff at the appetizing dept. act like they are doing you a real favor if you ask them for anything. There used to be rotisserie chickens out all the time but I went (twice this weekend), the first day they were completely out and making more but they had a LONG way to go so I didn’t wait. The second day they were completely out again and when I asked I got a snotty answer of «a couple minutes». I walked around the store for at least 15– 20 min and came back only to have her snarl at me again and this time the guy there who was more realistic told me another 15 min. At least HE was up front with me. The dried up looking little blond one should seriously think about doing something else if she is that miserable about working there. Lot of complaints from EVERYONE there about how nothing could be found any more and lastly… check the expiration dates, I bought taylor ham and it was a month out of date. At least put it in the bargain aisle and mark it down if you want to play that game. The cashiers are all right though, no complaints there. Sometimes change is bad I guess.

ShopRite is a decently priced grocery store, but this one is particularly busy at all times. The lines are normally not terrible, but you’re not going to get in out and quickly.
The shelves are usually a bit of a mess, but you can eventually find what you’re looking for. Sale items are moved to the end of asiles and this can cause some confusion.
The staff is lack luster at best. Do not be surpised if they mutter under their breath or start bitching about how long they have been at work. If you shop with coupons be prepared for an eye roll and a grumble when you hand them your stack.
If you don’t mind paying a little more go to Stop & Shop.

If you want to park near the front, go by the shops to the side. I love this place because you always get fresh good food at a reasonable price. Yes, the place is crowded, but its a plus for everyday items. They do offer pickup (which you have to order ahead of time) and delivery.

It’s the busiest grocery store around for miles. People in the area refuse to go elsewhere. Don’t like lines? Don’t come here. Come early and get everything you need. The holidays… They have delivery for a reason! Use it!

Can I give it a zero? This place is pretty much hell on Earth. The employees are miserable, and it shows. When people come to buy groceries, it’s like the end of the world is coming. Every day. Can’t wait for Dec 20^th. Not the best supermarket out there.

Well, it’s a grocery store. Not much to say there. They do, however, have a decent fish department with plenty of wild caught items, not just the farmed, cheap stuff.
The produce is consistantly good, even on the weekend unlike some other stores.
One particular standout… the sushi counter. Nice variety and the employees behind the case are always rolling! If you don’t see something out in the case, they will be happy to make it for you.
The lines tend to be a bit long though but, no worries… the cashiers move them along quickly.
