Wow walked in to get some supplies tonight a BANG end of isle I saw you are now stocking the best coffee FREMANTLE roasters. If you haven’t tried the CONVICT blend I highly recommend you give it a go…thanks for stocking it. Can you get the 1KG packs too please.
Just bought the lamb roast “chops”. Cant remember what it was called, but it was the most tender lamb roast I have had in such a long time.

I also want to write a comment on the fruit and vegetable person. He went out of his way to get me the dates that I needed for a recipe. There was none in stock, but the truck had just come in that had a supply. This young man went out to the truck and got me a packet of these dates I come all the way from Hillary to shop at this wonderful Illuka tucker fresh shop, And I always will keep going there because of the service I get
This supermarket is run down and has a poor range of products. I’m amazed IGA let it stay this bad, it should bring shame to their brand. This place brings down the whole suburb and high street. Needs a major upgrade.
Regularly mark products on special, but charge full price at checkout. Happens almost every visit. It is our local, but started going to bigger shopping centres instead because we always have to tally up the price ourselves or take particular note of items on special and check when they are scanned.
I went down to Iga with my client(she is differently abled). She buy some stuffs and get voucher for recharge. There was a guy who was trying to do the check out and he asked helped with the lady called ANU she checked out and then my client asked her to help with the voucher recharge phone. But what? lady (staff member) was so rude she was like what attitude. What is that attitude for ?? If she can’t be gentle and patience with the people coming in the shop . Then why is she there?
My client was going here to there to ask for help and she got stressed I was witnessing whole scenario . I respect their time and effort for the store but please be polite and try to have a helping nature .
Hope it’s understandable
Thanks
Tried overcharging me again for fruit. They know very well what 99% of igas are doing and it's blatant robbery !
Great products on offer. Great range of ready made meals too
This is probably the best IGA that I have been too, the deli section is amazing & the whole store gives you that warm & welcome feeling.
Closes too early, also very limited in what they have.
Great shops with good range of products. Also the Thai Take away was amazing
Good store, great staff, always helpful and nice. Free parking and no self serve, that is a plus!
Nice and fresh veggies as usual. Very convenient to get what I really want. Thanks 😊
Nice range of Asian veg and other fresh produce. They even had balut available. Reasonable freezer section with wide variety of meats and frozen vegetables.
Was closed at 9pm on a Thursday despite *till 10pm 7 days* signage on the door 👎🏼
The shop is always under staffed at the registers not sure why especially at peek times otherwise store is good
It is a convenient place to get extras. I wouldn't buy my whole shop but it is ideal for out of hours shopping and emergencies
All good here. A little expensive but you can still get some deals
Great shop but disappointing service, three members of staff chatting about the store and what is going on with rosters and who is going to be doing them. Was not even acknowledged that I was even at the counter, nothing, no eye contact, not a word from the person that served me . This was Saturday afternoon at about 4.15.
Ice Cream melted and refrozen was all ice and yellowish $6 for a Magnum that I had to throw away! Furthermore there was no best before date on them 👀.

So over this store , something that is meant to be “Convenient ” causes so much inconvenience.
Great IGA. Nice little shopping centre for a new housing estate
Nice little shop we go to when visiting my sister.
The rip off that is stone fruit at this time of year 😐 Paid $8 for 4 peaches on Friday- inedible. If they were 50 cents , well you take your chances but at $2 each I was expecting better.
The staff were very distracted, customer service were alright. They spoke tagalog which i obviously understood, talking about how they have no idea ehat they were doing reguarding opal cards.
0 star!!!

Its not fresh. Most of fruits are old.
My friend bought grape. But the grape supposed to go to bin straight away.
It was really old and dry.
I don't know why they can sell such a nearly rotten fruits and vegetables....
Its just a rip off shop.

On top of that, the stuff added to expensive fruits which we didn't buy...
Luckily we noticed it, then told the person who was doing cashier.
We nearly missed it and pay for the expensive fruits which we didnt put in shopping basket.
Also we found the necralin price was wrong.
The staff put $6.95/kg for the suppose| to be $4.95/Kg.

We need to really check if the true price on the recipt or not.

They are going to cheat you the price.
They try to scam you with Uber eats. Give you a cheaper alternative product without actually changing the product & price in the app. This has happened to me more than once. Never again. It's either that, or their staff & management aren't competent.
Hi There, i was trying to get food today and there was a sign says “you can warm up your meal at cafe” i had couple of food container and pass it to girl at cafe, containers were staying on the bench after few minutes and i asked how long would it take to warm them yp and she said 5 min , i have already waited more than 10 min and i decided to leave shop without them, if you cant make it dont put sign there and say
“ we can warm food up at cafe”
Thanks
Bought a fresh Swiss roll today, we opened it when we got home and it was rock solid. Knocking on the top sounded like knocking on the bench and pushing on the cake top and roll ends produced no indentation, it was so stale/solid. No best before date on packaging. This is a product they get in from a bakery - will be reaching out to bakery with same feedback.
The staff are very helpful, there is one woman on check out that is an exceptional human. She makes everyone feel better with her banter and infectious smile. Hold on to her, she is gold.
Always the very freshest produce available.
5 STARS - Great green grocer/deli, super fresh and very good prices. Aldi and Woolies right next door so easy to do weekly shopping
MINUS 1STAR - should not pay for short stay parking :((. Parking should be free for the first 2 hours. I just visited the bank and still had to pay parking. If centre want to ensure only shoppers are using car park perhaps implement a “free first 2 hours” or a ticket validation for free parking when proven to be shopping at the centre.
Excellent service from the manager that helped me buy what may have been one of the last IGA Christmas hams available this year! Choice magazine tasters reviewed it highly. It was delicious! I phoned a lot of stores.
Handy local 24-hour store. The only problem that matters is you should always check your receipts after purchasing. They sometimes make mistakes.
They keep a shop who steal money from customers - Sunrise mobile!!

We paid by card. We taped on two terminals. They told us that first terminal didn’t work so we used second one but the money was taken twice. We went to complain straight away nobody listen to us and we were told the money will be returned but it wasn’t! We don’t go there to often so we went to complain again one month later and the customer service is so bad!!!

The second time we went there we spoke to the store manager. I really don't understand how she could keep her job! So arrogant and rude person!!

She didn't even look at the store's bank account to see what happened on their end, but wanted to see our full statement to see that the transaction was not refunded (our personal stuff!!) after we went for the full bank statement to a bank the money was finally returned to us with arrogant faces and really rude behaviour!

I hope you don't want to keep a business that is taking away your customers!!

The highlights: we were called mate, bro, it’s only $20 why you care? (It wasn’t about the money all), they even called security on us (the security guard was so nice to us, on our side and told us where to complain)

I reported them to customer affairs, if you have similar experience please do the same to get rid of this dodgy shop!!
Purchased year old scotch fillet steak from the Buther Club - at $54 a kilo (paid $16-+) . It was very tough - bbq’d at medium. The steak was tough & chewy.
Very disappointed.
Nice compact with all the essentials and some extras to take the experience over the top.
I really hope the store manager does not treat the staff as badly as he treats customers. Have had multiple bad interactions with him and as a direct result will not shop there unless I am desperate.
Have a nice selection of Asian food, spices and fruits and veggies you can't get at Coles. Always like picking out something new I haven't tried before.
Small IGA, but has lots of good options. But for some reason they only do hot BBQ chickens in the mornings.
I've been shopping at this IGA for two years. I purchased a packet of Doritos and they were stale. Went in to get another one and the store manager said 'if it is stale again you can't come in again and complain'
The new packet was also stale. Terrible products and customer service.
Always lovely, friendly service here and the shop has a fantastic array of fresh hot food, rolls, cakes and other delicious lunch-time options.
They also stock a lot of pre-workout drinks that are difficult to find outside of a gym.
Nice place 😃👍
Sprawling dump of a shopping centre with horrid parking, I visited today for the first time in a long time. Upon entering the car park, I proceeded to drive around for a while not seeing a single free car park and dodging all of the oversized vehicles that this carpark is definitely not designed for. I had to honk at a couple of people who were blocking traffic by both trying to reverse into the same parking bay at the same time, neither one was going to give up until I honked at them, thankfully one of them scarpered as soon as I did, then someone else drove straight into the parking spot. I ended up near the top of the parking area, after driving around many a far too tight corner and still not seeing a single free car park. Once I exited the parking area, I entered a small foyer which led to a stairwell that smelt of urine, after exiting that I found myself somehow close to Woolworths. After shopping at Woolworths, I returned to the urine stairwell and then to my car to drop off my shopping. I then returned to the urine stairwell and followed the signs towards Coles, including the sign that appears to tell you to go up, when you need to go down. Coles is a long, long, way from where I parked, basically in another shopping centre altogether. After shopping at Coles, I returned to the urine stairwell and then to my car, where I had to wait a few minutes for traffic to clear, before hearing someone hit something with their car very close to me, no surprise there, the accident stats for this place would be amazing. I backed out, drove forward and spent the next 10 minutes in a traffic jam due to the ridiculously poor design of the parking lot. Then I paid for the privilege, which is like paying to use the southern end of Eastlink even though you are driving at 40kph in stop/start traffic.
Look, i hate these stupid reviews, but this is needed so here goes, firstly, the customer service is fine, the staff are friendly with very few exceptions the problem, apart from price which is a national problem, is that this place WILL sell rotten and potentially lethal food, its an inditement on the chain and the falling share price is testimony.
Seriously, be careful here, the owners are bordering on criminially incompetent and manifestly have a genuine disgust for the customer as evidenced by this practice and in this area, thats very unwise.
My local, normally does the trick if I've forgotten to buy anything and it's too late to go back to the shops. Bought a pack of ham maybe only 2 days ago and turns out it's expired (use by 22nd, today being the 24th), wasn't discounted or anything. Didn't even grab a receipt or have to time to go get a refund. Just disappointed.
Polite friendly staff and a great place to grab lunch or something fresh for dinner. Like most IGA the prices are a little higher but the quailty and selection is worth a few extra dollars - great little fruit and veg section.
They have everything you'd want in an IGA feels very dark inside but probably just needs a revamp. It's fine... doesn't have the deli or hot food section some new IGAs have.
Im not usually a big fan of the Bayside shops, however i lost my parking ticket AFTER i had paid for it. I was 100% expecting to have to pay the $15 for a lost ticket. Howevercthe lady looked up my payment and it was not an issue. Very pleased with this experience.
Very boring and dreary shopping centre, 95% of the shops are boring. The only good shop is kmart and maybe target, it needs upgrading badly and what a stupid idea that you have to pay for parking. Karingal hub and fountain gate shopping centres are a lot better
My experience at IGA in Mascot is that from the Owner and his staff are like family to me. If I tell someone that there is a item on the shelf that is popular and suddenly there is none left, They would apologise and guarantee that the next delivery would most likely have what you have asked for. So tell me now that you could not be more happy than that regard's from me Rusty from MASCOT NSW SYDNEY AUSTRALIA.
Very rude staff. Bought Items, when we returned to the shop to complain as items were expired, they pretended not to understand English. 😑 Did not get a refund, avoid this shop, rip off.
New to the area and looked forward to shopping at the Myer store as per signage! Couldn’t find the store and rang centre management to be told it closed in January!!!!!! Asked why sign was still showing and received a not very helpful sorry! False advertising is against the LAW.
Just charged me for 1kg of pork scotch filet ($18/kg) instead of the actual price for 0.48kg which is $8.71.
Not happy. Would have come back but was only passing through. Won’t be returning.
Great little IGA supermarket, I love how they have ready made meals in the deli area. My favourite is the little coffee and breakfast/ lunch cafe. Great prices and food is fantastic! The coffee is devine by the way 😉. Staff have always been amazing too, so friendly and happy to serve you.
Very clean shop and prepared meals to take home are excellent fruit and vegetables top quality lovely staff and beautiful food and coffee from the cafe
These guys have everything, and they are so reasonably priced. With the cost of living at the moment, and aarge family of 7, I can do a weekly shop for under $400 with tonnes of fresh produce, tinned Asian goods, drinks and snacks. Fruit lasts ages too, definitely recommend
All items are quite cheap staff are nice good spot next to station and Westfield but few losers hang around near their unfortunately
Perfect IGA, within walking distance from our home. It is always well stocked with great specials. Friendly staff huge range of meals and lunch items. Worth a visit.
Bad customer service almost every time no hello or morning or thank you or even no good bye

the last 5 times i’ve gone to Iga candlewood the female older staff are very rude again this morning politely said after the cashier said $11 you should not be working in customer service your so rude no acknowledgement , continue chatting with another worker the who time i was being served until when i gave the cashier my money and had to politely educate and remind you in customer service u should not being getting treated this rudely it’s unprofessional

staff need training on customer service
they clearly need to be retrained on the basics!!how to great a customer waiting to be served or at least acknowledge or use manners
Lovely store and great staff. Very supportive off all local events. Always friendly and eager to help. Just donated water for Burns Beach Community Walk for Life-Cancer WA also donated products fir Burns Beach residents Christmas party. Thank you to everyone x
Shabby, lower quality cheap food of limited range. They offer plastic bags but never tell you that they charge for them. Reasonable service
Sooo much variety, fresh food, well set out. Little trinkets and gifts. Friendly staff
Great little store. Stocks everything you need. Friendliest staff around. Very proactive staff. Open 24hrs. Right near the beach.
The staff are always lovely friendly and helpful - I find the meat reasonably priced and good quality too ! A nice local supermarket to shop in !! Highly recommended
Horrible store, the drink I bought was expired since 2021 and when I complained about it they simply just ignored me and did little to nothing to resolve it and once I made it a big deal they refunded my money by dropping the money on the counter and rolling their eyes at me instead of handing it to me and issuing an apology. The workers are also very rude and when I asked if I can buy an opal card here they looked me up and down and told me to go to the news agency even and as soon as I left I heard them sell the person behind me an opal card? Do not bother going here. I am heavily disappointed
Can’t say enough about this IGA store, the improvements that have been made over the last 12 months have been amazing. A fabulous gourmet section is now there. They’re always fully stocked and the prices are so competitive. I was quite surprised. Also, the weekly specials are a big drawcard for me. The staff are very friendly and super helpful also. I spoke to Renée the manager the other day and she was so helpful. I would give this store five stars all day every day.
Fresh vegetables available here with the best coconut cream the kara brand
Horrible!! I went to this store in the morning of 2nd December. As I enter the store, I was stopped by an cashier who at that time was serving a different customer. I was told by the lady that I can't shop in this store as I was banned from it. When I asked her for the reason of the ban, I was refused to get an answer from her. Her way of talking was extremely rude. The worst customer service.
Very neat and clean IGA store with a surprisingly good variety of items with some at even better prices than the bigger major chain supermarkets.
Only downside is the carpark which is sometimes dominated by the local pub visitors.
Beautiful shop wonderful staff. Has everything you need and delicious gourmet food as well. Definitely my favourite local. 😍
My wife and I have recently noticed a huge difference in the management of this IGA. The variety and neatness of displays is so much better. The milk prices have come down cheaper than others in the area. The shelves are stocked and not so empty. There are more special displays and the staff is more helpful. Add a smile and thank customers for shopping would add the icing on the cake. Keep up the welcomed improvement.
I love this supermarket. The staff are wonderful and helpful. But the checkout ladies really need a lesson at customer satisfaction….. they never help pack and rush to the next customer before I have finished packing…..😞annoying .
Good sized supermarket with everything you need but they really capitalize on the fact there's nowhere else around $$$$$$ this is what $40 gets you
Looks can be deceiving. From the street this store looks quite small but upon entering it is surprisingly huge. Isle upon isle of grocery goods. They have a particularly good fresh produce section, flowers for sale and potted orchids. There is no toilet here but you are next door to the rose bay hotel if the need should arise. Amazing friendly staff.
Wheelchair accessible parking and entry
Brings back a lot of childhood memories, I remember when it was Franklin's and not very well maintained but now the interior and exterior are inviting not old or tired
Poor service. I ordered yesterday for delivery at 6-7 pm but nothing arrived. I called the contact center and they said will be delivered today. At around 3pm today ,still nothing came but received an email at 10:43 am that order was picked for delivery. I called the contact center again and turned out still it was on the queue for delivery. The ending was we cancelled the order as there is no one to receive it at home. What is the purpose of delivery time reservation? This happened to me twice now.
We come from Hillarys to this amazing store. Louise & Romit are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They know where everything can be found in the store.
The meat is slightly more expensive than Coles & Woolworths, but the quality beats Coles & Woolworths hands down.
I have a special order for chicken thighs, with skin on & bone in, and I telephone the day before I am to come in for my fortnightly shop, and Romit/Louise make sure it is available. I wish we could buy chicken breasts with skin on. I am sure others would buy it as the skin adds flavour to the cooking process.
It is enjoyable to shop at Tucker Fresh Iluka.
A good local mini super market.
Great display
Friendly staff
However a bit over the top in some prices.
The specials are there so if you look you can find essential at a fair price.
Will use them however not for a major shop.
This is a surprisingly well stocked IGA and reasonably priced. Lots of items here that Woollies doesn’t stock. Good range across the board. Customer service could certainly be improved though.
Did not honour their promotion on Uber eats and overcharged me by $65!!! they stated that they would get back to me and did not. I have tried to seek resolution both through them and Uber eats. Please be very careful when ordering with them as they may overcharge you considerably. I have lodged a complaint with Paypal.
This is my local IGA but overall it's a pretty small one. The staff are friendly and the store has most of what you need but it is quite small and the fruit and veg is not great. I would appreciate if their fresh produce was a bit more above average
The deli closes earlier than the store as well - but it’s a basic one..

Staff are very friendly though :)
This is a quirky little store almost like an old fashion suburban corner store. It reminded me of a lost era before supermarkets. Most will find it confusing and congested but ideal to pick up one or two miscellaneous items on the way home from work.
Is a nice little IGA located right next to the station, cheap soft drinks. Didn't have rapid antigen tests and I was told to come back at 4PM, came back and was told to go tomorrow. I did not go the next day because there's no knowing how much more it'll be pushed back. Very narrow aisles so social distancing is virtually impossible
A tidy place to be in, in terms of products and rates. Also the store is quite clean. However in the early days of the store had an encounter with an employee named Swarup, who was super rude and just spoiled the entire experience... He had zero knowledge of customer service. The management have to really focus on such employees in terms of teaching them proper customer service.
Bayside Centre in Frankston has been an iconic and essential part of the CBD of the suburb. Owned and operated by Vicinity Centres, the stores you want. The amenities you expect. An environment you won’t want to leave. You’ll find them in the Vicinity.
From your favourite local to retail centres that can compete on any international stage, Vicinity aims to enrich the communities we serve with the experience they need. It's a great centre to find most things you'd be looking for.
Rude lady at the checkout today at the evening shift. FYI for the manager that she was at the extreme right counter as one exits the store. Young with brown hair and no smiles. Others in store much more helpful but let down by her. Some feedback that “that’s not my problem” is not a helpful response. Perhaps servicing customers shouldn’t be her “problem”?
The staff here at this store are always super friendly and provide helpful and fast service.
I used to buy water here for 60c and the price has increased quite a lot but it's still cheaper than anywhere else. They have other canned drinks for sale cheap also.
They offer a small selection of fresh meat, fruit and vegetables as well as basic household food items.
They used to have hot pies for sale but they've stopped doing that.
They are well priced for cigarettes.
Bought some of Helga's gluten free bread and got half a loaf???? Will be returning tomorrow
Great place to shop. Walking distance from my home. Friendly staff and great selection of fresh foods! Prices are reasonable (compared to similar shops). Nice to see families with kiddies on bikes, bubs in prams doing their shopping. Bringing value to our 'hood! Thanks guys/gals!
A month old complex that is sure to be helpful to many in the ILuka area. Yes, a bit pricey at the moment. However, its the price you pay for being open at late hours and for convenience.

There is an under cover parking and roof parking, which I like when it comes to looking after your car from the sun.
This IGA is a great little shop that is reasonably priced and it carries a large range of products including some gourmet foods and also a small range of international products. They also sell some brands of products for example a brand of dog meat rolls that Cole's and Woolworths don't stock and is usually only available from the larger pet stores or Veterinary clinics. Finally the store is very clean and the management and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who is in the area.
Affordable prices with regular savings.Great variety of fresh fruit vegetables and healthy meals.Friendly helpful staff and fast checkout service at register.
Really impressed with this store. Family run and great service, a really great place to shop. Try the Cellarbrations next door too, great range of craft beers and the Growlers and Screamers are awesome.
Not a great IGA. Limited stock, high prices, and a busy carpark.

Produce is rarely very fresh. Their hot chicken rack has bugs in it, and the icecream freezer is way overdue for a defrosting.
nice new and quiet little shopping place, IGA have a cafe attached with some really good food available.
Probably the best IGA I have come across, certainly unique with its variety of food choices.
Leaves both Coles and Woolworths for dead
Coming to the end of a refit otherwise would have been 5 stars. Building is twice as big inside now, very smart with a much expanded range. More unusual brands too.
