Stop & Shop

This Stop & Shop is a good market for all basics.

It's actually much better stocked than it's sister S&S on Kingsland Road.
This S&S is very clean. Also, prices are less than some other area markets.
It's best to log on to their app.and clip on their special coupons.

Their Delicious Deli Ready Made Egg Salad on a Croissant and Endangered Species Chocolate Bars are Must Haves!!!

A large parking lot is available.

Prices are on average 20 or 30 percent higher than other stores. Selection is nothing to write home about and sales are often higher than others in the neighborhood. When they are a decent price it's sold out immediately so I don't think they consider the demand. Just stopped for a loaf of white bread for stuffing for Easter turkey and of course they were out. But of course I could buy a name brand for 3.75

Typical clifton.nasty no sense parking lot sucks.very unfriendly workers they gossip talk constantly.their is far better

Upon arrival there was no wait lines to complete shopping. The freezer isle was pretty empty as well as the non diary milk section. All other isles were decently stocked.

Service personnel were very friendly make my shopping experience pleasant.

Have been pretty happy with Stop n Shop in Clifton. The have higher prices but they are less crowded than shop rite and the parking lot is safer than ShopRites parking lot where my car always got hit or dinged. Very convenient location. Also has a pharmacy and bank inside.

The store overall is fairly well stocked. The stars are directed solely at the bakery. Stay away if you want to avoid dessert disappointment. For the second time in 3 months we ordered a S&S birthday cake with strawberry & banana custard filling. Talk about cheaping out! Once again, there were maybe two strawberries and a third of a banana diced up into the VERY THIN layer of custard. For the price paid it's a ripoff!! Save your $ and order elsewhere!

I understand the store is trying to save as much left over products that stop and shop prepares but to the point of providing a product that is GARBAGE; is just a lack of respect to your clients. I bought stop and shop buffalo tenders and the chicken was HORRENDOUS as if I was placing pure salt in my mouth. I realized that it was not the buffalo sauce but the chicken itself. In order to extend the expiration date of the chicken your company submerges the chicken in salt water or simply added so much salt that the chicken is pure salt no other flavor but pure salt. All of this to extend the expiration date of the product. It is very disappointing that Stop and Shop would get to that level of carelessness and disregard for their clients. This was the last time I buy from stop and shop because who knows what the company is doing with other products.

Between this Stop & Shop and the one on Kingsland Avenue, I prefer the one on Kingsland Avenue. I find this Stop & Shop to be a bit darker and the aisles aren't as well stocked. Maybe I am more familiar with the layout of the other store but I always struggle to find what I am looking for. I go to this location strictly out of convenience since I go for therapy next door and would much prefer the other location.

I started coming here and will be for quite awhile because the Shoprite near me is undergoing renovation and parking is a disaster. Just from a few visits, all the items are pretty standard to what you can expect. I've never ran into any problem finding things. The prepared food section is one of the best ones I've seen so far since that's where I get food whenever I'm too lazy to cook. They don't sell alcohol but there is liquor store in the same complex which is still convenient.

Eh this place is a bit hit or miss. It's pretty standard for most elements. I like the self check out lane options but I have gotten approached by the PNC (or whatever bank) that's in there to try to solicit business before. Like I want to pay for my groceries, back off from trying to get me to switch banks.

Something I haven't seen at a lot of grocery chains is a section for half off day old bakery items near the frozen section. It's a little tucked away, but sometimes it's nice grabbing some muffins or something on the cheap. It's not like it tastes stale. You have to get there early int eh day if you want anything good though.

I was looking for distilled water once and they didn't have any which I thought was a basic item and I couldn't find any employee anywhere, so I went to another grocery store. They have some good sales sometimes but it's a bit hit or miss. So yeah I'd say this place is pretty average.

Oh and there are two entrances on Allwood and Broad. There are a lot of short-sighted people who want to make a left onto Broad but exit on Allwood and then have a hard time getting to the left lane. Exit onto the Broad Street from the parking lot!! There's a light and everything! Don't be that douche who can't quite make it to the left lane but pulls across and blocks the right lane. Just be a good person and exit at the other side of the parking lot. It's not rocket science.
