Who doesn’t love Costco. The Vernon Blvd location has knowledgeable, friendly staff with great customer service! The vegetable section is always stocked with the freshest produce. Great variety in all departments. #CostcoMember4Life

Very helpful staff. This was my first time there and I kid you not the people I ran into have the same names at least the first name as my family members so I felt right at home. I met Mr david, dennis, Lea and had I met Miss Susie that would have completed my family. David and Lea help me beyond and back. Kudos to the staff and if the manager is reading this perhaps you need to give those staff members and extra hour off they deserve it. So this place is huge not as huge as I seen somewhere else. However they seem to have everything in the store and when so many people are there it seems extra crowded and congested like it was today. I managed to find my way through the maze of people and isles quick enough to beat the traffic home. They had everything I needed. Although I didn't need a lot of things but they still had it. The one thing I I don't like which I saw twice someone opening up the container of grapes putting their hands and taking a field grapes and closing it back up. They got to be a way to make the produce and anything else that is easily accessible non accessible. Even if that means place and security on the floor to patrol I don't know what is going to take but this is really unsanitary. I also noticed someone picking up a bag of apples and placing in more apples from another bag into the bag they had opened. People are just rude. I gather one can say how much can a staff do when this happens and the place is very busy I understand. But something has to be done. So all the aisles were filled to the ceiling. It appeared as though they restocked 2 months ago just for this month of thanksgiving. I so enjoyed coming here and upon my first trip here I have to give this place a solid 3 star. Not five because the parking was horrendous trying to get out this parking lot is like trying to get out of a barrel if you're a crab with other crabs holding you back. Can you not open up other entrances or exits so that it'll make it a little easier for people to leave out and not be on top of one another cursing one another out in the parking lot? If you get here early enough you can get a parking space quite easily that's the good part about it. Can guarantee you'll get out as easily as you came in though lol. Nonetheless great place to be for shopping I will return.

This is by far one of my favorite Costcos in NYC. Costco is meant for big families or businesses -- they sell things in bulk. This Costco is hard to get to if you are using public transportation, but who uses public transportation to go to Costco? The parking lot is exclusively for Costco customers so you do not have to pay. It does get packed during peak times (weekends and evenings). I've been told this Costco does not have as many options compared to other Costcos. Sure, it's not as big, but it's fine. There are plenty of options available. The format of this Costco is one of my favorite parts. You can smoothly check everything out before you reach the check-out center. I'm slightly biased only because I went to this location for at least 10+ years before the Rego Park location opened. The food court and the liquor store are also separate from Costco so you can go inside after shopping to get your food.

Visited the Costco in Queens and was not disappointed. The store was spacious, well-organized, and stocked with a diverse range of products. The checkout process was efficient. The food court offered some delicious and affordable options. Plenty of parking space available.

Avoid at all costs. Specially today 19/27/2023. Don't know what happened to this place. You'll spend more time in line than shopping. This Costco used to be the gem of Long Island City. Now is where dreams go to die.

The staff of the entrance was really really really very rude. My husband was in the parking lot cause my babies were sleeping. The lady didn’t let me enter into the shop. She just grab the membership card from my hand and shouted that it was my husband’s card so I can’t enter into the shop. I try to explain her that when I was going to check out my husband will be with me! She didn’t accept that and shout on me. It was really really disappointing. They shouldn’t behave like this with a customer to enter into the shop!

The store is located at banks of the east river and has gorgeous view of surrounding areas. Like other store, it is huge and all the signature items can be found here. Liquor store and food court are located in a nearby building. Parking lot is huge and has beautiful view of downtown.

Huge Costco fan. I've been to many locations nationally and even internationally. This one, plain sucks. Pure chaos most of the time as no one knows what's going on. It's small, limited selection, always crowded, hard to find parking half the time etc. The employees are great; if you can find one. They seem severely understaffed for the amount of customers they get. As a native new yorker who left a few years back, coming back to this Costco reminds me of exactly why I wouldn't move back to NYC.

Strawberry soft serve is going to get me ALL THE TIME!!! This is the best introduction they have had with their food court menu revamp! Must get!! Vanilla was already good, but strawberry is better!! I got it all this first time! Strawberry/vanilla twist sundae! And it was only $2.50!! Value right there for a huge Costco serving!! Yum!!

MAKE SURE TO TRIPLE CHECK your fresh produce!!!I'm a big fan of Costco, don't get me wrong. All the other locations in the westcoast are meticulous but I can't say the same for this location especially the meat section. I purchased a pack of pork belly, ribeye steak, and Australian lamb chops. The meat all look fresh from the front view but I found them mostly rotten or inedible when I unpacked at home. I live only twenty mins away and went straight home with my produce. When I unpacked the lamb chops to marinade, edges were all green and slimy. When I unpacked the pork belly, aside from the top layer, everything in the bottom are just fat. I had to tossed out the lamb and 50% of the pork. Long story short, they are super strategic on packing their food mixing bad and good so you can't tell. I would double check if I were you

Would give them zero stars if I could. Been to a bunch of Costcos and this is definitely the worst. Stock was so low no one knows where anything is and asking questions gets you treated like less than human. Also managers Maria and Lindsey were rude and disrespectful and almost make me wanna cancel my membership. Definitely skip this one if you can

I honestly love this Costco. Have never had a problem with anything here. The employees are particularly nice, both in the food court and in the Costco itself. I have returned several items and it is a completely flawless process. The lines can be long but move along with a quick pace - other locations can have long lines but move much, much slower than this one.

A very unique Costco store. First of all, it's located on the banks of the East River with a beautiful view of Manhattan. Next, the liquor store and food court are located in a separate building. The main store looks like an old factory with an arched roof and celestial windows. Also saw customers taking their bulky items on bikes and on buses with them. With Costco stores usually being very similar all over the USA, it was nice to see something special.
