Soup Man

It is a good shoprite and at a convenient location. The check-​out is quick too.
Although one critique is that the veggie section sucks here.
I hardly see fresh selection of basic veggies such as peppers, cucumbers. Would be great if they can put some effort in it. I usually skip town to another shoprite to get good veggies.

Shoprite has always been a little more affordable than other supermarkets so it’s usually my go to place for grocery/​basic shopping. The people there are definitely not the friendliest so don’t go expecting all smiles. The customer service team is good and do what they can to help. They have everything you’re looking for for the most part though so if you are the type to go shopping without really interacting with the staff, this is a decent place to go.

Ok so there are several food stores in my town. This one is always packed, like ridiculously packed, all the time. 7am– packed, 10 am– packed, 2 pm– packed 12 am– packed, any way you get my point. Their parking lot is usually a disaster, one of the reasons there are a few stars off my review. There are always long lines. The selection is decent, not the best in my opinion. Their Bakery however is awesome! There has been several times we have ordered custom made cakes from here and they have turned out way better than expected and for like $ 20-​$ 30 for a half a sheet cake? THATS AWESOME! The produce is usually very good here as well as their sushi station. Something about the sushi I’d rather have it from there then the near by japanese restaurant! Anyways Shop Rite does have very good quality food and always having a sale. Just wish it wasn’t so packed all the time.

This place has good prices but it gets a little hectic. Only have one item? Have had occasions where people will be nice and let you in front of them. Other times you’ll have someone blatantly cut you in line while someone else behind you tries to wedge their way in front of you. Absolutely rude! It had me thinking «Lady your ricotta cheese can wait two f’in seconds. I have one item!» The nerve of some people! This place will have you thinking «I don’t want to live on this planet anymore». Especially in times before inclement weather. Luckily the staff is very reasonable.
On top of this lady cutting me in line, she has the nerve to leave her empty cart in the lane! She had four items so she didn’t even need a cart! The reasonable cashier kindly told her to take her cart out of the checkout line. If the cashier didn’t say anything she would have surely abandoned it there. Like I said the nerve of the people at this location!
I usually shop here for small items like soup, pasta, frozen items, sushi, etc. Like mentioned in other reviews, organic produce is scarce. It’s limited to stuff like apples, oranges, kiwis, and few other things. You’re really better off growing your own organic produce if you have the space for it. Unfortunately for most this is not feasible. Plus winter makes year round homesteading impossible. They do have a small section with organic products but their selection is still quite limited. Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are your best bet for those sort of purchases. Kind of wish they did have more organic stuff because those places tend to be overpriced.
So basically the prices here are decent but the people who shop here sometimes can be quite irksome. Just leave your pushy, rude, Nj mentality at home. Come here with respect and slice humanity for f**k’s sake!

I love this grocery store. There’s always someone to help me when I have questions about the location of certain items. I’ve also enjoyed grocery shopping online and then simply paying and picking up the bags from the store. I really appreciated that my «shopper» called me any time the store did not have exactly the brand I selected to give me the option of removing it from my order or selecting a different brand. When I move from the area, I will miss this grocery store.

I only go to shop rite when they have good specials. Day before thanksgiving I went and everything I purchased was on special and I left my shop rite card in the other set of keys in my car. The cashier did not have a house card and it’s not allowed to ask the customer behind you for theirs. She took the time to look me up by name and provided me the number I opened the card with.

Ran in to get a last minute cake and I’d say it was around 9AM I was very disappointed to see only about 3 registers were open and the lines were about 7 – 9 customers long. I am normally am a very understanding person I know this can sometimes be a problem in any grocery store especially on the weekends but I was not expecting this on a weekday morning. And if this was the case they should have more registers open, especially since the line I was in was 20 items or less but since there wasn’t any other registers everyone that had more items were still checking out in the same line. I tried seeing if I could pay by the customer service but that line was even worse. Tsk tsk
If I decide to come here I will definitely make sure I have PLENTY of time and not expect a quick check out.

Ya know, I don’t really know how to rate a super market. How do I decide if it was 3 stars or 5 stars? I mentioned in one of my earlier reviews that I can’t stand when people low ball a place because of stupid complaints or things out of the stores control. Now, I can understand a place losing star points if the service was horrible or if you got the trots from something you ate there but this is a supermarket. Case in point, one jerkoff on here gave this Shop-​Rite a low score cause the lot is always packed. My counter point/​question to him would be, what time did you go? If you went at 2pm on a Saturday or Sunday of course it’s going to be a friggin’ shit show. Another complaint I read was that if you go on Sunday night all the sale items listed for that day are sold out. No shit. They are the premier items that people are there for for that sale period. Don’t deduct a star point from Shop-​Rite, deduct one from yourself for not having common sense or because you can’t get up early enough to go to the market while it’s still quiet and the shelves are still full. Another complaint was that the produce selection was lacking and should be better for a Bergen County supermarket. I agree, especially with all the staggering amount of farms in Rutherford. What an idiot. Just get your arugula and get the hell out of my way.
But on to some real talk. If you don’t like dealing with the unwashed masses, go here around 10pm on a Friday night or get your ass up at 7am on a Sunday morning. The store is calm, the shelves are packed and the staff is in no way mean or snarly. They are still waking up themselves.
But back to how does one rate a super market. I guess overall cleanliness can garner a star point. The shopping carts for the most part all have 4 working wheels. That could be worth a star point. But I like to look at a variable. An X factor if you will. I give this Shop-​Rite 5 stars cause this is the best damn jelly donut this side of Brother’s Bakery. Hell, I got a donut here and then went to Dunkin Donuts for a pint of coffee.
All in all I just wanted to check in from here and add a review to my growing stat sheet. With that said, it is a nice supermarket. It’s beats the hell out of the Lyndhurst Shop-​Rite. That place is full of Bergen County asshats that are uppity and think that the world owes them something because they reside in Bergen County. Please, it’s not even like upper Bergen County. Get over yourselves. It also beats the hell out of the Kearny Shop-​Rite. That place is a zoo. The animals that shop there can barely say «excuse me.» So, if you need to get some pantry items in your crib filled I suggest you hit the Lodi Shop-​Rite.
Also, there is always a cop on duty at the door just incase a cap needs to be busted in someone’s ass.

Always a great selection! Great produce and great bakery. I wish this one carried more of a hot food variety like the one in Rochelle park. oh well… My only complaints are that they need more of an organic meat section and the cashiers need to be quicker and not mean to patrons with WIC… several times I have seen the cashiers get «pissy» with those people and that’s not cool…

Least favorite of the SRs in the area Lodi (also near Lyndhurst Rochelle Park Paramus Palisades Park Little Ferry all are better) Store is poorly laid out. Deli area is way cramped but then ice cream isle you can play football in
Keep close eye on sale signs and register. Have found discrepancies often
Selection at Lodi often seems smaller than others
Staff is always helpful and apologetic which leads me to believe the problems lie at management level if not ownership

This store feels grimey. Maybe I’m a snob, but I don’t think I’d buy my meat here. Great place to pick up salt and pepper, though, which is what we needed. And got some kumatos, because the rest of the tomatoes looked like crap.

OK, so shopping here for about 5years since moving from Teaneck. I used to go to Kings in fort lee before they closed down, and it was a great store. lets start with all the PROS.
HANDS DOWN! their prices are the cheapest. I buy a lot of the shop rite brands, like their OJ for $ 1.99 half gallon, their fresh sliced chicken cutlets, and all their meat is excelllent. their gravy meat and sausage also top notch.
always great deals on canned goods, olive oil, very good bakery dept.
I also find the produce to always be fresh, and i like their salads premade. the rotisserie chicken also a great buy. Also pastas are always on sale, their store brand canned cherry tomatoes are the best.
I usually come on sat or sun morning by 7:30am.cannot deal with a lot of people no matter where i go. I grab a cup of coffee and usually out in 40min. everyone that works there is always pleasant and helpful.
CONS
I think the produce dept layout is too tight should be more open.
also i don’t know why the fish dept is right next to the deli.
my only real peeve is the slicing machines at the deli sometimes are not wiped down, and this is a no no.
all in all i do 95% of my shopping here, it is the cheapest!!.other than here i go to trader joes for some gourmet items
BOTTOM LINE, I’ve shopped at all other supermarkets inthe area (paramus etc.)I walk out with 4 bags and spend about 50 to 60 bucks. any place else add another 20.
go early, avoid the crowds, it will make shopping a lot more pleasurable.

Unless I really have to go, I avoid this place. Yes, it is big which is plus.
Cons:
1. I feel as if the freaks of Lodi shop here. I’ve seen the most unusual people at this store.
2. If you go on a Sunday night, they are generally sold out of whatever that day’s sales are.
3. Parking lot is always parked unless you go extremely late.
4. Organic fruit and vegetable produce is very limited. We’re in Bergen County! Upgrade it Shop-​Rite!

This is our supermarket, and I generally like it.
Prices are good in general, and if you plan around sales you can do even better. They have their own brand for a lot of things where brand is irrelevant, and thus can save you money.
The produce is fair, if you take the time to pick through the piles. The meat is fair to good for the prices. The on-​site liquor store can be a little more expensive then the discount places, but the prices aren’t bad, and you really cant beat the convenience.
Love the pharmacy! Hardly ever a line, great customer service on the phone and in person, and so much easier than making a separate stop! Unfortunately, the customer service area.. .not so much. Always a line, which rarely makes it worth getting rain checks when sale items are out. There is really no room for the line to go, so it backs into the isles. But the people are friendly.
Until recently, the in-​store sushi was actually pretty good, far and away the best supermarket sushi I ever had. Lately though, it has not been good. Still fresh, but utterly flavorless.
Lines can be longish, especially on weekends, but generally move quickly as the cashiers are fast

The Biggest Shop Rite I have ever been to. That being said. If you hate people and crowds, don’t come at peak hours, peak days or any time people are shopping.
The bakery department is great, their cakes are reasonably priced and tasty.
The customer service desk is helpful (especially on Thanksgiving!)
The produce area is fully stocked and everything is fresh, great selection, slightly unorganized, but still good.
Make sure you get a new cart, they’re huge, they have the handling of a Maserati but you could fit 4 small children and a big dog in one.

I feel that this store is too big and overwhelming. Prices seem to be higher here too than other shop rites in the area. Due to the popularity of this location, I find that they are often out of alot of items at any given time. I don’t care for the way the produce section is laid out, the parking lot is merciless, and and I don’t particularly enjoy the 3 mile trek from the parking lot to the store. I’ll stick with the Hackensack location.

The best ShopRite in the area! Great selection, good service, wonderful sushi bar! Aisles are wide and the selection of merchendise is very good. Sale items always in stock. Meet Dept. excellent! Produce good! Liquor store inside the store a huge plus. My favorite place to shop!!!

I like Shop Rite of Lodi despite their clientele here. They have many cashiers to serve customers during peak times. Management of this place finally got it right — Get customers in and out first before worrying about the aisles. Love that.
Prices are generally okay with deals to be had on a weekly basis like all the others. Not bad, but just simply okay for everyday stuff.
Produce dept. is way overpriced for pesticide-​laced food. Organics are hurting here because there isn’t a high enough demand for these higher-​priced items. Unfortunately, it’s Lodi. Do you really expect the locals from Lodi to shop organic???
I hope that the local cronies from Hasbrouck Heights and surrounding areas will support organic products at least.
To sum up, it’s one of those supermarkets where you just bang out your shopping list and head out fast.

I’ve always preferred Shop Rite over the other supermarkets for groceries. They usually have the best deals and lowest prices. This store is good. It’s usually pretty crowded.
My one complaint would be the organic produce. I’m guessing they don’t sell much of it so the quality is not usually good. They also reduced the size of the organic section. Head to Whole Foods if you need organic produce.
Lodi’s shop rite also has a liquor store.

Cool supermarket.
I remember it back in the day when it was smaller… before it’s current look.
I checked it out again in 2006 (like it did in 2003), inside looks freshened up… the «tower» has been there since the dawn of time. I don’t know why they need the tower management area… its cool tho!
I don’t like the entrances… it should be in the middle, not on both ends… not easy to go in/​out.
There’s room behind the checkout to wait in line, no more crowding up into the asiles from back in the day.
They closed A&P, as well as pretty much all the stores in that Bradlees/​Walgreens area. ShopRites one of the only grocery stores left in downtown New City.
