Key Food

Good for a local area supermarket. Recently bought by new owners thank God, much better service now that it is. They redid lighting and are staying to clean it up. Most refrigerated items are good with their dates but sometimes dry items are expired. Buy then again I haven’t noticed that lately so maybe the new owners fixed that problem. Does have a weird smell to it that is going away?
Let’s just say with the old owners I never went there, no I go about three times a week for small items

This is the most disgusting supermarket. Their meat section smells terrible, they have expired foods on the shelves, and their produce is always rotten. I sometimes stop there if I have to because it is one of the only supermarkets in the area, but I never will again since I picked up chicken cutlets there yesterday. When I went to cook them, I noticed they had black sludge on them! I don’t know how they stay open

Four things this Key Food could do better:
* Make sure the prices posted on the products match the prices that appear at the register when the same products are scanned.
* If something is 2 for $ 5.99 (or 2 for $X.XX), please show next to the price if you must by two, or if you can buy one at the discounted price. The pricing is inconsistent.
* Make sure that food that is past its expiration date is removed from the aisles.
* Get more of those rubber things that you put between the items on the conveyer belt at the cash register, so that the cashier can tell whose stuff is whose.
I have hopes that this Key Food can get better.

Literally just went there, I’ve been living here for all my life. I’ve been going there since I was in elementary school. Now under this new management, I no longer feel the «homey» feeling I get when I used to talk in. All the cashiers are no longer the happy smiling ones. I literally went there and asked them something, not really trying to point anybody out but this cashier named Stephanie literally just dismissed me. Literally I’m your costumer, I’m spending money at your store, I think I deserve more respect than that. All the people who work there no longer wear the Key Food uniform, they literally just hang in the store talking to each other. No longer as helpful. Too bad this is the only big grocery store on this side of Queens Blvd.

A really terrible supermarket. It smells like… Rats? Animals of some sort. Who have nested in the back room. The ceiling is falling apart and it is super depressing in there. The sign says they are under new ownership and are fixing it up. Hopefully they will be fast. I won’t be in a hurry to return.

This is a horrid super market. It smells, the produce is never fresh, the meat selection is bad. It doesn’t go out of business because many of the big six residents are senior and have few other options. This place need mgnt. It must be run by super market slum lords.

I live right behind this Key Food and I rarely shop at this supermarket, because of the smell, the prices and just the look of this shabby store. Today I went there because at the last minute I realized I need deli meat for my son for his lunch. I go to the deli and I see flies flying around the lights above, I said to myself, «ok the meat and cheese are packaged after use». I asked the lady for a half pound of cheese and she walks over to the slicers and I lie to you not, 50+ flies flew off the slicer!!! I was horrified and disgusted! What was even more horrifying was the unfriendly deli lady acted as if all these flies were ok! I told her no thank you and she watched me walk back to the front of the store so that I can leave my basket. I think she was afraid I was going to speak to the manager. I decided against it, because they were deep in a personal conversation. Im def making a call tomorrow to get this checked out because many senior citizens shop here because its easy to get to. THIS STORE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!!!

This place is horrid. If it weren’t for a lack of options I would not step food in this place again. You need to check the expiration dates of EVERYTHING you buy as most stuff is close/​past date. I bought some soy sauce a few weeks back that was 6 months expired, SOY SAUCE! It must have been sitting on the shelf a year. Also the customer service is lacking at best. There is one cashier who is super sweet and I find myself waiting on line just to have her ring me up. The rest of the cashier staff is rude, unhelpful and more concerned with their personal conversations than they are with helping customers.

I feel like this location definitely needs a makeover. The store feels so run down. And the people who shop there dont help it either. I also feel that the prices are a little steep compared to other supermarkets. However on the plus side there’s not too many shoppers in there. Pros and cons to everything!

This spot mailed us a coupon (new residents) so I walked over on a snowy evening before the blizzard that never was. Trashy spot with poor selection and a freezer that looks like no one’s bought ice cream there since the ‘90s in a rundown strip mall with miserable staffers. Wasn’t made we wasted the coupon on a small purchase because we’ll never be back.

This key food has to be the worst part of this neighborhood. Years ago it was great but now it went to shit. Their produce selection is horrible and be careful because a lot of their stuff is spoiled or it spoils in a day. This place is definitely going down hill it’s sad because years ago everyone used to shop here now it’s as dead as ever. It’s better to just shop down by Roosevelt.

THE WORST! We’ve wasted so much money buying items here that are PAST DUE– the expiration dates are not checked. They REALLY need to keep better tabs on these. The products/​produce are not fresh, boxes are open, etc… AND THEY DON’T CARE. I emailed Key Food central and I heard nothing back. I may write again, and urge you to do the same. Disgusting. And, IT’S EXPENSIVE– for what!!! I guess you can’t give ZERO STARS…

This place is gross. Unorganized and has like an overall ‘filthy’ feel to it. There is like 6 registers and I’ve never seen more than 2 people working. I dont really trust the smell of their produce or meat/​fish. I go here for soda, basics and frozen food. there is another Key Foods close by on Queens Blvd that was just redone and is beautiful! i’ll go there.

This store is for basic shopping only & nothing else ! If you want to do major shopping go where you can get the deals becuase there in never & i mean never any at this KEYFOOD & i been shopping it over 10 years. When i have to do major shopping pathmark is the place for me !

This is just like any other Key Food, except the store is in worse condition, and the prices are higher. Every supermarket in Woodside is overpriced because Key Food owns them all.

It’s a small market. It’s been here for at least 20 years. I do have to give it to them for keeping it going. It’s the only market around for a couple of miles. The store is pretty crowded with merchandise. Small
«fresh» produce area… with some not so very fresh items. But they try. Family usually goes here for sale items.

If you’re looking for the basics, like milk, bread and ketchup, it has it. I got sick once from the carrot salad they sell in the deli, and sometimes the chicken salad smells awfully suspicious, but otherwise food seems to be edible. The checkout girls are nice. Oh, and it has a few organic items, but they’re overpriced. 4 bucks for lettuce?
