Good value, not a typical supermarket though, cant make this the only place you go but sometimes some items are a great value, always find something to buy, meats and seafood sometimes much better and much cheaper than the big box markets, operative word SOMETIMES go here first before heading to the big three you might save some money, example I went to a local supermarket for live Lobster and though the price for two was high, went to Western beef and got three for ten dollars less

This place give me anxiety. This place smells funny and expired food. I only reason why I come here Is to get my Brazilian & Ecuadorian products. They need a major upgrade.

I’ve gotten meat here twice thinking that it will be good since they have a large meat department. But BOTH times the meat were stale even when it was bought few days before the best before date marked on package. Another $ 20 wasted. Also the line to pay is always long with few cashiers. And forget about returning you could be waiting for an hour before someone at customer service shows up. Never again.

Bunch of f%&king idiots work in this store. And the so called«Managers» are as dumb as they look. I dont know who the hell does they’re training. I for one won’t be back. I’ll take my business elsewhere. As the saying goes«The customer is ALWAYS right». Ive said my piece and I’m done.

Worst store ever. I came to pick up some ingredients. When I went into the store, I forgot to put my lego bag in the car because I just came from the lego store. When i walked in the security guard told me to check my bag… really. There was alot of food with expired dates. Also the workers were drunk.

Can I give this place 0 stars? I really hope cooperate or management or whatever sees this cause this is by far the worst supermarket I’ve ever been to. They need to change a lot of things. I’ve been to this place a few times since it’s right next door to planet fitness. Sometimes I’ll buy yogurt from here right after my workout. But each and every time I go in here I’m just disgusted… The smell of this supermarket is just toxic. DISGUSTING, makes me want to throw up. Prob last time I’ll ever go there. Shop rite is so much better! Besides the place smelling horrid, the supermarket is a mess… The workers are RUDEANDSHAMELESS. Never have I ever met supermarket employees as rude as the ones that work here. There are clearly no rules for the people working here. They do whatever they want and say whatever they want. They are no help at all! I asked an employee where the baby carrots were and he starts speaking to his friend next to him in their language and theyre just having their own conversation. When they do show me where the carrots were I looked at the packages and they were all EXPIRED! This place needs to straighten up. As I walked down another aisle I see another employee whist talking on her phone while pretending she was fixing items on the shelf! This place is just nasty. Ew.

The place is awesome… I mean its not the best supermarket but the prices are amazing I recently bought ten pounds of chicken drumsticks for twenty bucks… the have there own meat station room… The coldest part of the supermarket… colder then the frozen Section… The room is full of frozen meats… and there product looks wonderfully… there wide variety of meats… they have amazing huge sales weekly… Some stuff are even cheaper then path mark, shop rite and stop and shop… Not the biggest supermarket but has you daily needs… Very interesting store… There is a good amount of shoppers and staff working there… the lines to wait for check out is not long at all fast and convent service… What i dislike about this store is they lack certain items and there’s always this weird funky smell inside and out of the store… Huge parking lot for a small store so don’t worry about parking at all!

This has to be the most ghetto supermarket ever created. Without fail, every trip to western beef always results in me getting stuck behind some hood rat arguing with the cashier about the balance on their EBT card. The employees who work here can never seem to manage a hello or a semblance of a smile. I’d probably be miserable if I worked in a supermarket that perpetually smelled of bleach and rancid meat.

I was throwing a memorial day party at my house a few weeks back and wanted to roast a whole pig. I purchased one at Western Beef. When I got Home a prepared it for defrosting. When it defrosted it smelled like death. I returned it and they gave me another one which was deforested already. This time I sniffed it there and it too was rotten. I goes u can make your own minds up from my experience

This is actually my favorite supermarkets because not only I can find all Guatemalan products but with a fresh Bakery and its only a walking distance of me. I do admit their customer service sucks but hey thats why NY is known for rude people.

This is a supermarket, with a concentration of meats and latin food products. It’s humongous and selections are varied. just like your average market. I don’t think they’re prices are inexpensive, Shoprite down the street is much more reasonable. But surprise surprise, the bakery sells red velvet cupcakes by the four pack. Umm. so of course I had to try. They weren’t bad, and I’m sure when had fresh they would be much better. They’re large in size, the frosting sweet and cream cheesy, cake dense and tasty, the color red. Ok job, for a supermarket chain.

This review is based on two different purposes for this place. One, if you are so hot that sweat is pouring off your forehead and all you see is imaginary oasis, then you need to visit this place. Just head to the back, through the white doors and just chill. The whole back section is literally a freezer and you get to walk through. I often send my menopausal mother there to save on the electric bill. Of course everything comes with a price. The price is here is the painful odor of hundreds of pounds of raw meat. Even holding your nose will not help. The second purpose for this place is that it is actually a supermarket. The freezer part has all kinds of meats(although not the best finest quality and sometimes you do run into«green» meat). The fruits and vegetables are same day type(meaning you need to eat them that day or the next) because they will not last that long. Even though the quality is not that great, they are more popular for their prices. They do have a fish section but it is small. I think one of the best qualities of the place is that it is very ethnically diverse, especially in the latin persuasion, and you can find ingredients and groceries from all kinds of regions. They also have an amazing bakery and cook bread daily. You need to get their early to get the bread when it first comes out of the oven and before the children start grabbing at it with their hands. If you get their early early, like 7:30, you can still get them pipping hot. They also make their own cookies. I think going to Western Beef is an experience of it’s own and everyone should try it at least once.
