Western Beef Supermarket in
Brooklyn (NY)

Western Beef cannot be beat! They've got it all and at solid prices! They have a $2 bin for ripe fruit and vegetables. You can get some real deals in there but you gotta eat it with the quickness. They've got a lot of West Indian products, beef patties, malt soda, and the like. They've got hot jerk chicken up front. Order the jerk cuz you are whatcha eat!

This place is as expensive as Whole Foods for the lowest quality food.

There's a big variety of meat and west indes spices. Decent size.

I don't know if the store is under new management...but I was going buy meat for my grandmother and the meat was warm to the touch and turning brown. I never had this problem before and the new employees are rude. When you ask them something they turn their backs.

Items are easy to locate,meat and produce always fresh.

Very big selection of meats and larger items to buy at quantity. Great values for less pay also

Food is priced too high! Shop n stop is definitely a better supermarket with better sales.

Subject: Concern Regarding Poor Customer Service at Western Beef – 44 Empire Blvd

During my recent visit to Western Beef at 44 Empire Blvd, I had a very disappointing experience. I stopped in the produce section to purchase several bunches of Mustard Greens. When I reached the register, the cashier questioned the item and insisted they were kale priced at $2.39/lb. I politely corrected him and informed him they were in fact mustard greens.

The Front End staff was then ushered over and briefed about the circumstance and then asked the cashier to check the price. When he returned, the item was rung up at $1.99/lb., what was most upsetting was the fact, I was given a dismissive and unpleasant look, as if I should “take it or leave it.” When I further explained that the product was being misidentified, the cashier waved her hand at me and walked away, dismissing me entirely.

This experience was not only unprofessional but disrespectful. I don’t often complain, but customers should not be treated this way—especially when simply trying to purchase an item correctly, and turned out to be $1.99/lb. vs $2.39/lb.!!!!!

I hope management will address staff training and product knowledge so that future customers don’t encounter the same treatment.

Thank you for your attention.

This was the first time I’ve ever visited this place. I was pleased with it,not being crowded and finding everything,I needed
For my Thanksgiving meal. I Will definitely make this place my,go to,for big shopping.

Prices High! Meat doesn't look fresh! Bad customer service

Very clean bright fresh vegetables and fruits customer service is wonderful very pleased!

No one speaks English in the meat department so I couldn't get what drove ten miles to get. Thank you Western Beef.

Decent price for most items. You can also find items that's hard to find in your own neighborhood. Great for people on a budget.

Excellent Customer Service! The manager is friendly and very professional. The supermarket is spacious, very neat, clean, and has a variety of food brands.

Easy to find parking lines aren’t that long but watch out for the milk and certain meats because my milk wasn’t expired and it was no good the next day after I opened it and some of the meats aren’t red some are brown so I think they might have issues with the freezers because the milk wasn’t expired and was sour and it was for my baby she threw it up I went back and I told them and they said their fridge was down so just make sure ya meats and milk is good other than that they always have sales but the meats are pricey

Smells bad, rotten meat, poor quality of fresh produce, and long lines. With that being said they have a great selection of seasonings & spices. There's lots of opportunity for improvement.

cheapest place in town for now and employees are very nice. They stock some good stuff for the Gentrifiers of the area. Until the other big supermarket opens this is your most affordable option in town and they have really awesome shopping bags.

Silly me, I never check the dates on items purchasing and I always get caught with items that are expired or expireing within a few days.
I give them 2 stars because they always have what I want!

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF..or keep reading and save yourself time money gas and disappointment..30 yrs ago.. times were easier and less demanding this was a place to shop MEAT PLANS fresh everything brand names for less A JEWEL OF CROWN HEIGHTS shopped there religiously.. been there 7 times since then .

Day we did Western beef supermarket on Empire Boulevard So immaculate. It was a pleasure to walk through the aisles. I will start visiting more often now. Thank you

My mother who is 88 was one who loved this store…recently raved about how nice the remodel is. She usually has a great experience in this store…30+ years shopping there. But, that all changed today when she got her Chase statement that showed an UBER Eats purchase immediately following her grocery purchase at this store. We have just reported the fraudulent charge to Chase and are attempting to call the store to report this. All attempts to contact store have been unsuccessful the phone just rings and I know at 645 pm the store is still open. Not only will I make the trip from New Jersey tomorrow to speak to a manager and to file a complaint with NYPD. My mother states she is able to identify the cashier who checked her out but fears returning to the store could result in repercussions; jeopardize her safety.. My hope is someone will see this comment and immediately complete a thorough assessment of their staff and their registers. To the customers who use this market…beware. To the associate who participated in this scam you should be ashamed of yourself.

I love going here it has everything I need to feed my family and enjoy my carribbean foods. Good sales and friendly cashiers. Ok this is an update today is 3/15/22 so I needed some items to make candied Yams and I was shock they did a complete turn around the vegetables that was in the back area are now up front it looks so spacious I really like it now I did not go to the back area but will check it out more over the weekend.

I was sick. The smell of rotten in the air had me run.

The Grocery store is relatively clean. The prices are pretty expensive. I've noticed that they post sales but it's the regular price of the item , it isn't a sale. I use to frequent this Western beef more ofter simply because they sale flowers that were reasonably priced. The Roses were 9.99 then 10.99 now 11.99 a dozen. The regular flowers were 3.99 now the are 4.99. Over all I know everything has gone up in price but you rarely get a bargain her. It's like a giant convenience store. If you don't mind spending more then it's a decent grocery store.

I love this store. It's well stocked and has everything you need and more. Although the man in the meat section was very nasty and rude, I will just never asks for his help again but they have a great looking meat section. The produce section is amazing.

Renovations made this place 10x better. Prices are still great and you’ll find all your needs in one stop shopping!

Very large store. They have a huge selection of items and incredible deals! There is also a parking lot which makes shopping at Western Beef very convenient.
