A&J Seabra Foods Supermarket

It’s local and good for a quick in-​and-​out for items you run out of. Overpriced, and with no fish department any longer, there’s not much Incentive to go there other than the proximity.
Their Elizabeth and 5 Points locations have more variety and are better stocked.
The place looks empty most of the time.

I can never catch this place during operating hours… they close at 9pm. I Finally made it once and Everything was soooo hard to find. All I wanted was bread… I wound up only buying two items because everything is so pricey compared to other grocery stores. A lot of reviewers complained about the smell. I didn’t notice an odor. I don’t remember seeing fish so maybe I didn’t find that part? If I didn’t have a car I definitely would shop here. But I prefer their competitors. I think the the only thing I like is that it is in my «backyard». Also the staff was friendly. For a grocery store it serves it’s purpose…

This store smells horrible when you walk towards the back of the place! I had to return meat and salad dressing on more than one occasion. The produce section is disgusting. So now I have learned my lesson and just go there to buy certain things only.(NO MEAT OR COLD CUTS!!) they also have expired products on the shelves. YUK!

The store stinks really bad. Nice that it’s local prices are too high. The meat and fish look so bad hence the smell. The staff is really nice though.

Sadly, Unilocal doesn’t allow a lower rating. As already has been posted here, the place reeks of spoiled food. The prices are way, way too high. The employees leave plenty to be desired, etc… What was also stated here is that it is convenient for those that live nearby. I go in there on occasion to pick up one or two items, but there is no Express lane posted and the cashiers aren’t always the most customer-​focused. If not for the close proximity, I would NEVER go in there for my one or two items. Oh, I play the lottery there on occasion too. If you want to buy the Star-​Ledger & play the NJ Lottery they’re great! Otherwise, PATHMARK & SHOPRITE IS THE WAY TO GO!

Overpriced. Twice I Have had to return meat that was rotten. Seriously, how can frozen meat be rotten? The chicken smells like fish.
When you enter the store you can smell rotten food. When you go to the very back of the store with the fish department is it makes you want to vomit. If you go to the fruits and vegetables most of those are damaged or rotten as well. Many times I have gone to the store and found produce or juice or hummus with expiration dates from the week before. A lot of their cans from the White Rose Brand are dented. It’s almost like they buy stuff from other stores once they’re past the date or damaged. I don’t get it? Pass by this place and go to ShopRite.
Check the expiration dates on everything!!!

I received a coupon for the grand opening of Churrasqueira, which is Portuguese BBQ within the store. The coupon was for a whole chicken with rice and french fries for $ 8.99. The girl behind the counter was extremely rude and said it was only good for a half chicken and three ribs. I took it. The french fries and the rice were under-​cooked and had no flavor at all. The chicken was extremely greasy and the ribs were cut against the bone so they were very hard to eat. This was by far the absolute worst Portuguese BBQ I have ever had and would never, ever go back again. I would give this place a negative star if I could! If you want good Portuguese BBQ, head into Union!

If you want decent Portuguese breads etc you’ll do alright. The meat dept is getting worse. This supermarket is way over priced and expensive. The staff leaves a lot to be desired. One recent trip there I saw the manager arguing in front of the customers with a lazy employee that seem to NOT want to work. She had a very rude attitude. Made us customers feel very uncomfortable. In the produce area there were green peppers on the dirty floor that she couldn’t care less to pick up much less do anything about it. Now that’s lazy. As a paying customer that is NOT what you want people to see. No wonder I’ve often have found this store kind of empty. If this is how you conduct business, you won’t be in business for very long.

What’t the point of having a supermarket that carries Portuguese products when they are not in stock? Twice I have gone here on purpose to get Portuguese products and they didn’t have them on the shelf. They do however always have fresh Portuguese bread. Nice fish department, meats look fresh. However their salad bar is not stocked fresh every day. I went there once day at 8:30 and the employee was putting plastic wrap over the trays of food in the salad bar. I guess the don’t toss out what isn’t sold at the end of the day. Gross.

I was so happy when I heard Seabra’s Food Supermarket was opening in Roselle. For those who don’t know, Seabra’s offers a great selection of authentic Portuguese bread, food, cheese, cookies, soda’s, and other items. They have a great deli as well as a small bakery offering delicious CUSTARD CUPS. I would suggest picking some up in the morning as they are delivered at this time.
It’s pretty spacious in here and it’s a great addition to the surrounding neighborhood.
