As a guide, prices are 25-100% higher than Wholefoods. Service is terrible - I’ve had a cashier tell me to “hold on” while he writes a text on his phone! Selection of groceries is average. The one upside, most things are in abundance because the prices are so high!
Well organized and clean. It has a lot of the typical items any supermarket would carry plus the added section of a deli counter.I just wish they had more cashiers and a better selection of meats.
An old time favorite. Coming back to NY I was delighted to find hard rolls. Something I couldnt get in Florida nor Suffolk County NY.The manager is a caring community leader. He runs a tight ship since the store is bright and super clean.
My review is solely on the store bought sushi. Its made fresh at around 10:30am. Their prices for sushi are very reasonable compared to most things in this store. If you dont have time to get sushi at some fancy location, swing by here and get some. It will taste better than most places, except Mitsuwa of course. The sushi pictured cost around 11.95.
Friendly staff and helpful when looking for any specific items. Prices are a bit on the high end but what can u expect from midtown Manhattan. Thanks.
We went to this store last Saturday to buy foods and other things in preparation for my daughters birthday. The workers at this location were so accommodating that we were able to shop there on a regular basis. All was in order!
All inside was clearly labelled and classified, so I had no trouble finding the ingredients. This is a spot I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone. I went here to get some spaghetti sauce.
Friendly employees, and the woman at the counter was very helpful in finding some Tylenol for me when I couldnt find it myself.
Great little supermarket. Convent to all of the hotels on Broadway.
For such an expensive store the service here is terrible. We went from free bags and someone bagging the groceries, to paying for bags and the cashier sipping coffee while waiting for people to bag the groceries and everyone else standing theyre waiting as well. What is the purpose of the cashiers at all? You might as well put in self-checkout.
Best grocery store to shop! Their delivery is quick, the food is packed well in a minute or two. You will interact with the person putting together the grocery stores if there are substitutes needed for out-of-stock products, and their employees are courteous and supportive. Id like to suggest this store!
My two black friends were being followed around the store by security staff to see if they were stealing. They only let me know about it after I had already checked out because they didn’t want me to make a scene. Horrible prices, with horribly rude staff, will never set foot in this store ever again.
40% higher prices than suggested retail. Cant believe this useless store is still in business. My mistake for going in there. Avoid like the plague
Coming from out of town (Maryland) and this was my 2nd time visiting this store in a week. The store was clean. Great customer service. I even saw the manager out on the floor working. Everyone including the manager was friendly. Crystal at the register was very helpful and polite. She remembered me from my first visit when I checked out at a different register. Josh from the deli counter, not only did he make good suggestions on what items to try, but he saw I needed help getting a Lyft. He was on a break and took the time to stay with me until my Lyft arrived and he put my groceries in the trunk of the Lyft. I will never forget such kind and friendly people.
Pretty good selection for where it is. Dont look at the prices.
Excellent Manhattan grocery store! Lots of excellent grab and go items! Very friendly staff!
I bought a bouquet 💐 of flowers for my lady as were celebrating our wedding anniversary. 😁 No red roses were no where to be found. 🤔- Noticeable from normal moving traffic.- No FREE public parking for customers.- Use the ParkNYC app 📲 for street parking.- PARK icon parking garage is across:• 1/2 hour = $8.45• 1 hour = $33• 2 hours = $46- Wheelchair ♿ accessible entrance.- No FREE public restroom 🚻.- Limited table seating for customers.- Clean and safe environment.- Sanitation Inspection Grade: A.- Clean premise.- Friendly staff. 👍I would definitely recommend Gristedes to anyone looking to do a quick shopping in the area because it carries fresh produce, premise is clean and its conveniently located on 8th Ave & West 54th St. 👍
This store is totally overpriced and the food is regularly rotten (meat, milk). Avoid.
The prices on some things are kind of exorbitant but the quality of merchandise is very good
Okay supermarket. It used to be open 24/7, but not anymore. Nicely decorated, but very high prices for many items that are very average in quality. Pleasant staff.
Has all your over-priced grocery needs.

Great selection & friendly, helpful staff.
A regular grocery store with decent prices in midtown
Quick fast easy.
Great place to shop and great personal
Nice & clean market.
😊
Night Stalker price is a little high
I bought 5 items and it came out to 43 something. So its a little pricey but very clean, and professional
Awesome selection.
Dont you love NYC supermarkets? This has a good range but is typically priced for this part of the world. Staff are nice and friendly and the place is clean.
Fun found what I needed.
Good selection, very friendly staff, priced (high) for the neighborhood.
Decent. Not always super high quality food but decent. Meats okay. They have very good avocados. :D
It is a very convenient option when I stay at a near by hotel. They a nice selection of food and beverage along with a deli. The place is clean and neat.
The fruit quality was sub par.
Left NYC for 3 months because of the Corona Virus, came back to order supplies to restock my apartment, I found no prices on any of the items, and when you bring the items you think they are priced it doubles at the register. All of the prices doubled since I have left, staff was nasty. Thank god John Catsimatidis did not become the mayor of NYC. I am a republican and will never vote for a crook. I own a business in NYC and I dont gauge my customers. Unlike 9 out of 10 people who get mistreated and just dont come back, I will complain and NOT see if anything has changed, most complainers come back to see if improvements were applied. Goodbye Gristedes HELLO Westerly!
Its better than it used to be, good enough selection for normal groceries. Kind of pricey for what it is.
Nice and clean
This place is very nice but is too Spencer three blocks away its another big supermarket my cheap shein quality so Im sorry I dont be
Clean, produce is fresh, has a variety of choices for every nationality and the cashier and deli lady are very pleasant and helpful.
What I love best about Gristedes is that its never crowded. Its great to be able to go in, get what you need and leave within a decent time range.
Its always clean, shelves stocked and prices are affordable.
High prices. Usually good rotisserie chickens. Challenge to return bottles.UPDATE: This location has had a complete renovation. Very attractive and clean. Prices still high. Shopping is more convenient. Good selections.
The store was just remodeled in January of 2019, so everything is brand new. Aisles are organized well and the store is laid out logically. The range of food from cheap store brands to organic top shelf stuff is better than most NYC grocers. Say hi to my friend Patty the cashier!
Recently renovated and its how it shouldve been all these years! Seriously. This is the first year theyve had a convenient eating area with chairs.
Very expensive and I feel Im not getting my moneys worth but I go because its the closest thing to my home
Nice and clean.
Ok. Not a big market, but does have all I need.
Not a big market, but does have all I need...!
Only place I could sit & have a quiet coffee & donut.
Always clean and pretty well stocked shelves. Fast service. I can get in and out fast!
Lovely... I highly recommend
Very very nice. Good price, excellent attention. David, cashier, the beste
Great place to walk around and cool off in the summer
The store was expensive but not bad co.pared to other store around midtown Manhattan. We went to about 3 different grocery stores and was 2 times more than the price at Griatede. I guess it was better and the staff were friendly.
You May find A Good Sale here.
Every major chain has something that the others dont....I shop for certain things in different stores....and we have very few major supermarket chsins locallyThey have a nice deli counter and wide aisles
Basic grocery store with high prices. I go here out of convenience when I dont want to walk to Columbus Circle
Young Male Cashier was very helpful thankyou!
The prices suggest a luxurious experience or exceptional quality.. Unfortunately its just overpriced.. You are better off paying for a cab and heading to Trader Joes
Eh, when Its the only market in town that doesnt specifically cater to organic foods, youll overpay, but as far as Manhattan pricing, eh, what do you expect? The produce and meats are fresh.
Best supermarket
Love the products and high shelves staff not really friendly. Prices are high but its Manhattan center so all okay.
Stopped in for wine and found brands we know at a decent price.
Very low quality items at extremely high prices. I personally would say go to the Whole Foods two blocks from here, it’s miles ahead in terms of quality and generally the same prices as you’ll find here. If you work around here, shop at home. If you live here, shop somewhere else for produce and get your nonperishables online. If you’re a tourist, enjoy the incredible food options that midtown Manhattan has to offer and get your snacks/drinks at Duane Reade or CVS which both have better prices. There just aren’t a lot of good reasons to waste your money here, at a dirty and overpriced supermarket.
Their meat department is meh. Thought their steaks would be better given the area.
Great, friendly supermarket with stylish interior and fantastic cherries!
Too expensive for food.
Nice and clean but food prices are little to high compared to Morton William.
The workers are so ghetto. They look a mess while they can barely focus on working because they’re too busy chatting amongst each other. The fat, whale manager lady also just stands around distracting everyone talking to the cashiers while waving her tacky 3 inch long finger nails around with a sassy attitude. Aside from the employees it’s an ok grocery store with expensive prices.
Good times
What a pit! I feel so so so sorry for anyone living in Midtown that has to shop at this place, outrageously high prices, limited selection, and a layout that feels like youre walking through a maze...youre actually better off buying groceries at Duane Reade or CVS, at least there you will not be gouged.
Great supermarket, not bad prices for midtown - slightly lower than wholefoods and food emporium
Overpriced and not very cleanly kept. Their produce is of questionable quality - a couple times I bought cartons of berries only to open them at home and find mold growing on them. Their saving grace is in their location and the fact that they are open 24/7.
Good when its 1AM and youve run out of something..
Lots of variety. Not crowded, should be in and out quickly.
BEST SUPERSTORE AT HELLS KITCHEN
Greedy Gristedes over priced serves a purpose but could use a TJs in the area in my opinion oh well thats how the 🍪 crumbles....
Expensive.
Terrible staff and cashiers. Never went back. Steak and chicken I bought on sale I had to return because it was EXPIRED
Terrible messy long line
How they stay in business only God knows.
Good selection of food and drink. Visited more than once while on our visit to New York.
My second favorite grocery type store.
I like Gristedes, but a lot of the time they are out of items, unlike Food Emporium... 😡
Nice small market
Clean, well-stocked, short lines, but incredibly pricy. Were talking seven bucks and change for Reeses Puffs pricey.
Gristedes makes Whole Foods look like heaven. If I can help it - Id shop about anywhere else. The prices are high for mass goods. I mean - we paid $6 for Klassen pickles, almost $4 for an 8 pack of Pepperdine farm hamburger buns, $5 for shredded cabbage. All of these would actually be cheaper at Whole Foods by a lot and better quality. Its no reason this place is a ghost town almost all the time BUT... I give it 3 stars because sometimes they have stuff other grocery stores wouldnt have like toothpicks AND I appreciate that its open until 3AM. Last night my instacart girl messed up my grocery order and I had to prepare something for todays Super Bowl party but I wasnt getting back home until 11pm. Gristedes was there for me and I was able to make my overnight pulled pork.Thanks Gristedes!
This grocery market has doubled prices on each of their products. Not a good selection and it hurts to spend 80 to 100 dollars and have hardly any groceries. Emergency only market. If you need one thing and cant wait to get it at a real grocery store on market. Price actually doubled on grocerues.. ..extremely few if any sale items. Ice Cream selection was brewers for 1/2 gallons a only flavors were vanilla, chocolate, coffee with nothing amazing yet its almost 8 dollars for a container of brewers. 7 dollars for hagen Daz or Ben and Jerrys pints. Ridiculous.
Its cheap. They have a reasonable selection of food.
In a city lacking g grocery store options this location is a solid ok. Decent produce a d selection of other items.
Its open 24/7. Godsend
Expensive. I go there overnight when I absolutely have to.
