Pathmark Bradhurst

This new store Super Foodtown that has replaced Pathmark has sales signs all around but the items are more expensive than usual… Not neighborhood friendly with the prices even for our gentrified neighbors!
I was in & out of this establishment most expeditiously.

I ran in to grab a quick snack. I don’t get all the hate-​reviews here. Service was nice enough. A quick snack was fine. I think a lot of people have complained about the meat here, so if, like me, you aren’t buying meat, maybe this will not be an issue.

If you love products that aren’t priced correctly then you will love paying more at Pathmark! With long lines and terrible customer service, you can’t go wrong! Enjoy a Coin Star machine that never works and is probably switched off, as well as a dozen eggs from $ 5!

i wish I had 4 hands so I could give this store 4 thumbs down! I absolutely hate this place!
my boyfriend and I came here for a quick stock up. the meat section had the most disgusting pork chops I had ever seen, chicken was swimming in a blood bath and the ground beef was beef-​like was different shades of red (I picked the only red pack). Lunch meat had edges that were on the brink of molding. Whenever we asked someone where something was no one knew. Like do you work here??! At some point during our trip my bf wanted to just park and leave the cart at the store but for some reason I suggested not to. We literally spent $ 65 on idk what. Over priced fruit and cereal maybe?
Will never ever return

Another reviewer seems to think I should be amazed to see so many black people under one roof. Who moves to Harlem and is surprised to see black people? Who would move here unless they liked black people and wanted to live among them? What I’m surprised about is that so many of the folks here seem to have lowered expectations in life, that they should accept that their lot in life is to have less that is fine and good than other people. This PathMark could be much better. It’s very dirty and customer service isn’t the best. I think all the people of this neighborhood deserve better. A shopping experience that lifts them up instead of reminding them of the ghetto.
All that being said, do I shop here? Yes. More than once a week. They have almost everything I need for my family and they are very convenient. I also believe in the jobs the store has created for the folks here. The only thing I will not buy is the meat as I’ve had bad experiences with it.

With practice, this place can be a 4-​star shopping experience. I realize it shouldn’t have to be that way, which is why I gave a 3 but seriously… this is my favorite regular (not Whole Foods/​Trader Joes/​Garage/​etc). It’S HUGE. Large Selection. Open 24/​7, Clean (enough), Good Prices but GREAT SALES and YOU DON’T NEED A FUCKING CARD FOR THE SALE PRICE! The lines can be long. The shelves can be empty (especially of those great sale items). Most cashiers seem to work hard and are friendly while most management I’ve had to deal with seem to be idiots, or uncaring.

Pathmark is the most disgusting grocery store I’ve ever been to. It’s dirty, it smells, and I don’t trust the produce or the meat. It’s down the block from my apt but I only come here if it’s an absolute emergency and I can’t get to Whole Foods. Ew! it’s just terrible!

I so love the entertainment at Pathmark. Are they ghetto-​yes! Are they sometimes out of stock-​yes! Is it the perfect store-​no! But hey it has everything I need.
Maybe my joy is seeing the ‘new people’ moving to the neighborhood walking around with a shell-​shocked look of seeing so many black people under one roof. And yes white people do do to this store. Simply go to the beer aisle and that’s where you’ll find them.
Hey if you don’t know better to bring a book while waiting in line that’s your fault.
And cart! Who needs a stinking cart! This is NYC!

Over a year later and Pathmark is the same.
This place is so ghetto and disorganized it should be shut down and rebuilt. Top to bottom — and start with the cashiers yelling all over the place. Then have the nerve to give attitude (Alondra).
Well, I’ve tried and totally over it. I’ll pay a bit more and have a peaceful experience than to come back to «that» place.
Oh…and there was a smell in the back. Not sure what it was, but I REALLY hope it’s not the meat (I think it is).

I will never again spend a dime in Pathmark.
The store not well taken care of; the manager is slovenly, dirty, rude, and incompetent; the clerks are rude, slow, and insulting; and worst is that they sell products that are spoiled. I bought two different types of packaged chicken; tenders and sliced breast on June 18^th from two different manufacturers (one was Perdue). They both had expiration dates for the 21^st of June and I had stored them properly, in the bottom drawer of my refrigerator. I opened the tenders first to cook them for my family on June 19^th and the worst, most rotten odor greeted my nose. I threw it out and had the same experience with the package of sliced chicken breast. The odor was so offensive that I could not keep them overnight to bring them back to the store for a refund the next day. It was an extremely disgusting experience.
How, in good conscience, they are able to run a store in this manner is beyond me, but they will not see me or my family in there again.
Fortunately, I have several other grocery store choices nearby.

Probably the worst grocery store I’ve ever been to. The shelves were half empty and there was a sad selection of pretty much everything. The unorganized employees wandering trying to look busy didn’t help the growing standstill checkout line. I’ll look further for food.

The most amazing thing about Pathmark is that this is a supermarket that really reflects the NYC ethos, specifically that NYC is the city that never sleeps. When the only free you have are in the wee hours of the morning, you really start to build a newfound appreciation for Pathmark.
I strolled into Pathmark at around 12:00 a.m. to pick up some milk, bread, and cereal. I got everything I needed and was in and out of this Pathmark within about 30 minutes (I really strolled throughout Pathmark rather slowly during this visit). A good experience overall. I will definitely be coming here again.

This place is huge and has everything you’d ever need. My only issue is that you can’t get a good sale unless you buy twice what you need. I hate the buy one get one half off, or the «must get two or more» in order for the sale price to apply to things. How about you also cater to people who live alone and not just families?! So annoying!

too many loud ghetto mothers with WIC cards and Food Stamps. I hate this store but it is the only game in town

Pathmark. Ah the ubiquitous 24 hours super-​grocery store.
The memories from your first incarnation as a teenager years ago with your two Newark, NJ locations to now having two Harlem locations is quite the trip down memory lane and back.
Enough reminiscing. The bottom line is that for what it is and what it can do, it works. It’s not the jazziest. Not the flashiest, Not the über-​luxuriest (is that a word? It is for this review). But it works for what it is and what it needs to be.
It’s your 24 hour go to location for just about all of your basic grocery items. Staples, spices, prepared, canned, and processed food? Check. Frozen items? Check. Basic meats, deli, and fish? Check. Basic bakery goods? Check. They also do a somewhat decent job stocking ethnic foods for the dominant cultures of the neighborhood. Remember, this is a general grocery store, NOT a specialized niche store. For folks that want specialized or specially sourced meats, produce, or ethnic foods, there are stores for that (in Harlem, by the way!).
Could the quality and presentation improve? Yup. Could they open more registers when the place gets packed (which seems like always)? Yup. Could the staff be more friendly, accommodating, and understanding? Maybe, but we’re a rough bunch, us New Yorkers — especially us Harlemites.
My best recommendation is come through, scout the location and get the lay of the land at an hour with relatively reduced traffic (first thing in the morning, late night, or overnight). Then return with your battle plan to get the food items you need with as little browsing and dallying as possible (again first thing in the morning, late night, or overnight).
On the chance you need to come through and grab a few last minute items, just understand this is one of two super-​grocery stores for an entire NY neighborhood (Harlem — population 350,000 as of the 2010 census) so there will be lines — and you’ll be okay.

I used to come here frequently. Like many times a week. And it’s still the same olé Pathmark.
Listen, if your choices are Duane Reade up 145^th, a number of small bodegas, a store on Broadway — which is up that monster hill — or the Fairway off of Riverside Drive, of course you are going to the Fairway on Riverside Drive. But you are here because you don’t feel like catching a cab to Fairway and this is your option.
I would have no problem buying any dry good here. It has a good selection, if randomly stacked and located. However, the reviews below have a common complaint which has always been the case, it’s not a great shopping experience.
The lines are long. Then the service is indifferent. Folks will have trouble with their cards. The system will go down. You’ll be in line and torn between leaving the groceries you’ve collected or taking the abuse.
And since you are there, you don’t have other immediate choices, i.e., catching the A or D to Columbus Circle, or anywhere else, you are here. Again, I used to go all the time and it’s not as bad as some would say, but some days its better some days its worst. The only thing to offer is it’s not the one at 125^th.

This is the worst place ever. Long lines, no matter what time of day. Often no baskets or carts available for customers. Rude, incompetent cashiers who are practically sleeping on the job. Very poor stock of products (I went once in February and they were out of sugar. Seriously). And the customers themselves make for an even worse experience: crying babies, kids on scooters running into other shoppers, people who take up the entire aisle with no regard for anyone else.
Pathmark Bradhurst is my personal hell.

The meats looked gross and everything was unorganized. Getting a cart was a challenge. I’d prefer to shop elsewhere but came here because it was on my walk home that day. Won’t venture in again unless I am in a rush and in the area. It is a path mark so you should be able to find almost anything here even though you are probably giving up on the quality of the product you are buying.

Think…
Dean & Deluca prices. Shake Shack lines. DMV customer service, and all the pleasures associated with Jury Duty.
You will never know whose line is open, because nobody turns on the line light.
It’s VERY common to have lines 10 – 15 deep at any time of the day. Most checkout lines are set up for customer-​bagging, so this only amplifies the time it takes to check out.
Staff is generally unfriendly and spend the bulk of their time chatting about inappropriate topics rather than getting any work done.
Chances are, you won’t get a cart, and definitely not a basket between 7am and 11pm.
And prices here are more expensive than the UWS Whole Foods! Do yourself a favor and hop on the train to get the heck away from this place at any cost.

ALWAYS CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE!
On meats, on milk, on yogurt, on cheese.
Smell the salmon before you leave.
Come before 6 p.m. or you’ll be pissed…
Cuz you’ll be in the checkout line ’til 10 or 11…
and all of your favorite prime-​time shows will be missed.
Prices are decent, so I shouldn’t complain.
But the selection of goods is pretty lame.
Oh btw, whenever stuff goes on sale… They run out… Doesn’t matter what product it is. Lean Cuisines on sale? They’re out.
Fresh Express Spinach on sale? They’re out.
6-​pack of organic eggs on sale? Sorry brah, we out.
I shop here… because I have to.
