I waited till the last day to buy a prime rib roast for Christmas dinner, Every store I went to was sold out. I called Big Y in Plainville, ct. The per that answered the phone in the meat department told me they had only a few more roasts left and they were going fast, so I got on the highway and got there in a few minutes and I got a nice big 15lb. roast, cause if I didn't get one our Christmas Day tradition would have ended. Not only did Big Y save our Christmas Day tradition but it was the BEST prime rib the whole table ever tasted! Thanks Big Y.

There webpage indicates you can place you grocery order online and then pick up at the store. You cannot! They dump you off to a delivery service with and extra charge. I don't want delivery, but I appreciate the shopping service every other grocery store offers. Not shopping here anymore!

Good selection of groceries. Fresh fish and deli selections. Like the kosher food options too. Staff friendly and helpful. Customers leave their carts in parking spaces. Really, how hard is it to return your carts.

They have a lot of items & produce, etc in their store. However, it is often so crowded that it is just not worth it!

Just moved to Connecticut. Went here to buy beer and they denied me because I had a temporary ID. I'm 38 years old and just had a long day at work. This felt extremely disrespectful and difficult for no reason. No other business has denied me. Will definitely be seeking other establishments for my business

The place is clean, organized, and there's tons of parking options. The thing is, the prices are relatively high here. Many people assume Whole Foods is always the more expensive option, so they happily shop at other stores unaware they're actually paying more there. And this Big Y is an example of a more costly experience. Certain cheeses, ground meats, most waters, celery, carrots, broccoli, apples, pre-bagged onions all cost at more at Big Y than they do at the Whole Foods across the street. Some of the prices deviate by a few dollars, adding up when doing weekly shopping long term. Also this is one of the only stores that not only charges you 5 cents for using one of their brown bags but they don't throw you that 5 cent courtesy for bringing your own. It's not about the 5 cents, it's just about the gesture.

It doesn't seem to be a comfortable shopping atmosphere. Employees act as if they work in a sweatshop, and rarely smile or say thank you. Some items are way over-priced by 20-40% from Stop n Shop. From the days of Dan Coogan to now, we went from 60 to zero in 5 seconds.

I had a delicious lunch at big Y. The fish and chips and a side order of hot small peppers were THE BOMB!

This place & Whole Foods are located conveniently on my way home. While it's not as expensive as Whole Foods, it still is pretty expensive, lacks sale items, and their fruits and veggies spoil quickly. The last few times I was there, they seemed to be running low on several items--for example I wanted to buy ground Turkey. Asked one of employees where i could find some---there were two packs left for $8+/pound. I refused to pay that for some ground turkey I normally get for $3. this week I was excited to find some for $4/pound. when I got home I realized why it was so "cheap"--it was 85/15 when I normally buy 93/7. Last week I bought asparagus--spoiled within 2 days. Bought spinach two days ago--already spoiled. my fridge is new & produce I've purchased from elsewhere in the past never had this issue. I normally wouldn't care enough to write a review on a grocery store but I've spent the last 10 minutes picking out soggy leaves from the package of spinach I just opened.

First time coming. It is nice and clean and had a lot of options and choices. Had another agenda for the day so wasn't able to purchase anything that needed to be refrigerated. However given their wide variety of selection (including kosher!) next time I'd be interested in buying beef and a few pint of ice cream.

This really has gotten ridiculous. I needed a quick meal and figured some sushi would be great. Reviewed the different options and decided to go with Spicy tuna on brown rice. After opening the package up all I can see is fake crab. But wait. If you REALLY REALLY look close up. You can see the fish scraps on the top of this, and every, piece of sushi. It's literally barely any spicy tuna. Also the fish quality of the sushi has dropped. If you don't want to sell it-don't. But if you do, add fresh fish and enough so a human can see it. However, pretending this is fresh, and that this is a reasonable amount of spicy tuna is just crazy. Interested in fresh sushi at Big Y? Bring your magnifying glasses. If you want sushi at Big Y, you'd be better off buying a Slim Jim and looking for the real beef in there Stay clear! EDIT: The manager contacted me, wanted to make the bad experience right. They suggested a refund. I asked for just a replacement sushi. The quality of the sushi and tuna was as we'd expect--great quality on the replacement. It's possible it was an outlier experience. I also posted images of the new sushi roll--as you can see--which is MUCH better looking and tasted great. As a result of the replacement sushi, I moved this 1-star review to a 4-star evaluated based on my most recent experience with the replacement sushi!

The employees there yesterday I saw- two of them were not wearing any masks. Don’t feel same going there if they don’t enforce the masks especially with the employees.
