I do have to agree with most of the reviews about the staff… They are all pretty uninterested and can be rude. Not all of them but some of them. The location is really convenient for me, so I find it easy to just suck it up and go here, although the store could be so much better. Prices are outrageous. I wish they had a bigger greeting card selection. The one awesome thing they have going for them is that there is a liquor store inside… super convenient!

They have to do something about the music on Sunday morning. It’s ear splitting loud. Sunday morning is bad enough as anyone who’s listened to Johnny Cash singing Sunday Morning Coming Down knows(or even Kris Krisstofferson croaking out the song he wrote).You can’t concentrate on what your doing and long to get out of there!

Convenient but pricey. Went to another market a mile or so away and their blueberries were $ 2.49 a PINT. Kings’ was $ 4.99 for a thin(about an inch high) container! Listen… that’s fine. It’s convenient when I need milk or bread and if people want to spend their money there — fine. Here’s my main complaint — the music. If people are buying $ 5.00 blueberries, why do they have to listen to music Kings’ 20-something year old employees want to hear? I was in retail years ago — the customers came first. Kings is about the experience, the comfort — not the bargains! So management — play some classic or soft rock from the 70s, 80s or 90s — THAT’s your clientele. They(we) pay too much money to be insulted — and annoyed — like this.

After getting FOODPOISONING from their Kings brand Spicy Italian Sausage, I refuse to buy meat from this establishment again. Also – we live down the block and every time we go into this Kings we regret it. Rude, moody staff. Every single one of them. Poor selection of items & generally Kings is overpriced. The only reason we go here is to get emergency foods like milk, eggs, coffee… but we may just rethink going here altogether !!!

UNWORTHYOFHISCROWN Smaller than one had expected, I did not discover much to buy, In exception of golden bread pudding, And a veggie quiche pie. With prices that could stand to be better, Do your shopping elsewhere and heed my advice, But when pressed for time and in need of something quick, I suppose this trifling Kings will suffice.

Tiny Kings has everything you’d expect for a tiny store and you would be surprised at the selection of items for a wide array of international and national dishes. In the last year they overhauled the liqueur store and deli and POW!, it’s now upscale with that narrow isle New York City feel. Eugene in the meat section knows his business and will take care of you. Great selection of all the necessities and a little more of this and that. I love the tiny store vibe! What a great little gem for the locals!

Can I give this place negative stars? No, really. Horrible location, horrible staff, horrible selection, and overpriced for what they do have. Never again. I tried really hard to like them, especially after they sent awesome coupons, but I just. can’t do it.

This is quite possibly the worst location in the entire King’s franchise and a dismal example of a grocery store in general. The interior needs an overhaul and often appears dirty and run down. They seem to have a lot of trouble understanding what items are popular, as they can’t seem to keep certain things stocked with any regularity. The meat selection is limited and often looks past its sell-by date. The staff are rude(or even worse — don’t seem to care at all) and often glued to their cell phones. The management is often absent, and the management staff I do see regularly look unkempt and seem more interested in being«buddies» with the staff than running a grocery. I think this location is trying to turn around, but it’s really just putting lipstick on a pig. Unless they can get the basics right, the higher-end touches are meaningless.
