Fisher Supermarket

Great place to shop. If you need something and they don’t have it, the owner will run down the street to his other grocery store to get it for you. Always helpful, always have what I need.

Like everyone else in the neighborhood, i was eagerly anticipating the reopening. I was disappointed to find it’s merely a newer, cleaner version of what you can get at most bodegas. Things are still overpriced (yeah $ 4 Tropicana!), the meat and poultry section is poor, and the produce sections consists of few fruits and vegetables.
Yes, it’s convenient for travel to and from the subway, it has been a part of the community for decades, and convinced the Mayor to make a trip to C.H., but I’m sticking with Compare Foods. It does have a good beer special going (A case of Yuengling for $ 12) so I might stop in to buy beer but that’s all.
I’m happy it’s back but i won’t go often.

It’s closed! Shut down!

Yeah, I might be in the minority but I love Fisher’s.
Case in point:
After a long day of work, plus grad school class, I stumble out of the 4 train and into Fisher’s for the essentials. You know: caffeine free Diet Pepsi, Utz chips and a peanut butter Twix.
Like I said: the essentials.
Needless to say, everything was readily available, and I paid less than $ 4 for everything.
I suppose the love it or hate it label that Fisher’s owns is more a matter of unrealistic expectations than it is actual store quality. Fisher’s is essentially a bodega, not Whole Foods.
It’s on Franklin Avenue and it’s good for the basic essentials. I’m thrilled that it’s in Crown Heights.

This is the best supermarket I have found on Franklin Ave, but that’s not saying much. We buy most of our groceries at the Key Food on Washington. In my mind Fisher’s is basically the Biggest Bodega. Nowhere else on Franklin can I buy something as exotic as a gallon of skim milk.
Good for boxed goods, processed foods, milk. There’s usually schmutz on the milk gallons, and the minimal selection of plastic-​encased produce makes me sad, so I go to Nam’s.
This store is quiet and dusty. The staff are quiet and friendly. Assuming the gentrification continues it is a simple matter of time before this place goes bust, or undergoes some yuppy make-​over and greets customers with a diverse assortment of cheeses to reassure them that they are shopping in Greater Park Slope.

There are some overly critical reviews here. Let’s put things into perspective– LOCATION. It’s on Franklin Ave, near the train. And they’ve been here for years, serving the community happily.
I mainly go here to purchase their decent selection of microbrews, as Tony offers a pretty good selection for a supermarket. It’s great to get off the train and head straight for the beer aisle after a long day at work. I’ve even made some requests for new brew and shortly after, new beer has arrived. That’s customer service!
Sure, the prices on some foods are a little high, but that’s compared to my little town in northern New York. Prices here are fair.
As for the expiration dates? I’ve never run into expired foods, as a reviewer claims he did. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but I do know Tony would be completely understanding and would do the right thing by you. Did you tell him about it? If you purchased it, did you return it?
What I like most about Fisher’s is that I’m always greeted with a smile as I walk in, they always ask how I’m doing, make a little small chat, and wish you a good day as you walk out. It’s a personal atmosphere. Keep up the good work!

U guys are haters the owners grew up in that store since there father bought in the 70s. These people have dedicated their lives to serving this neighborhood best they can. The store has more products than most stores and if I ever need anything that they don’t have I let them know and they order it for me.

This place is really gross and has some ridiculously expensive items (8oz of cheap olive oil for $ 7?!) This one dude who worked there hovered over me like I was gonna take off with a stick of butter.
I think I almost caught an STD walking in there. Fishers is nasty.

Fisher’s apparently deals in nearly or actually expired items. For anything other than a non-​expiring staple or beer, I try to stay away. However, everyone’s nice, and if you know about the expired product angle (Maybe they explicitly purchase stock from other stores?) you’re better off. Han’s a block away carries a lot of yuppie organic goods, and they’re not expiring.

This place is small, and so the prices are too high for it to be a regular groceries spot. But, the selection is much better than your standard bodega — they’ve got organics, vegetarian stuff. You can probably find some version of whatever you might be looking for. The owner’s around a lot, and there’s never really a line.
The real reason to come to Fisher’s, though, is the beer. The best cure I know for a rough day is swinging by on the way home to pick up a six-​pack of some new, delicious, beer. (And yes, I’ve decided to just be open about my use of alcohol as a coping mechanism). They have an ever-​changing selection of local, microbrew, organic, etc., beers from all over. It’s fun to just show up and pick one. Although, lately it’s been kind of a mess in there. Somebody is taking one bottle of this, one bottle of that, and you’re left with a whole bunch of incomplete sets. So far, they’ve let me get a mixed pack for the lower price, but it can be a bit annoying. Also, the selection really does change all the time, so if you come in looking for something specific you could be disappointed. But hey, life is short. Drink new beers.
