I have about 10 things to say since I’ve been here at least 10 times. It stinks so bad in here.like rotten. The security watches the wrong people. Not the ones that’s actually need to b watched. And some things are expired. Be careful. Also I’m Spanish/Latina and I’ve noticed some of these girls are bullies racist not English speaking for some other costumers and don’t help at all … neither when I had coupons cashier (her) didn’t even let me use it, she was rushing me to charge me and I asked her once again and she said she can’t do nothing about it now and that I can use next time. How can someone tell me when and how to use my money? Incredible. I addressed the manager or supervisor and they acted like I was bordering/annoyed so I left.

Great prices and even better selection. The staff is friendly and helpful. I am always very impressed by the quality of their food and the diversity of products.

This place should be shut down PRONTO! The fish is rotten most meat product are! The entire store stinks the managers like 5 on them on the floor at once have horrible customer service with the obvious lack of management skills. Prices are ridiculous especially with most items at the point of reaching its sell by date. This I found Luigi’s ice is priced at $6.95 at food depot totally wrong.! We need something like ShopRite there instead,

A prominently Spanish speaking store so there might be a bit of a communication barrier if you only speak English. Inside there is a small pharmacy, an eyeglass shop, a fragrance store, an electronics store and a pawn shop. You can sell gift cards here for half their value if you need quick cash. The pawnshop also buys gold. The older gentleman with white hair at the pawnshop is very professional, courteous and business orientated. I feel like overall the pricest at this store are quite high compared to other stores however Food Depot has very affordable packages of fresh cut fruit ranging from 2.00 to 3.75. (Watermelon, pineapple, melon,etc) Posting this for those who try to eat healthy or those who are homeless in the area. God bless you all.

If your not a spanish speaking person you sometimes get ignored or they act annoyed waiting on you and some giggle and look at their co-workers like white people are something to laugh at. This has happened to me in here more than once. Some of the cashiers are pleasant but most of them do the things I listed above. The front end manager is annoyed if you ask her to break a 20.00 bill that their own ATM gives. Some of us have to use public transportation and we all know buses and trains do not accept cash. I said Thank you and she looked the other way and ignored me. And if you bring your own bag and put it at the end where your groceries are after they ring them through the scanner, they just stand there and expect you to bag our own stuff, I don't mind bagging my own stuff but a cashier should at least offer. Maybe if I was spanish speaking... One good thing about this store, they sell very good half sour pickles in the deli/seafood section in the back. They are in a plastic container and very yummy!!! The price is good too for these pickles. Everything else is very expensive! Not a fan of Food Depot.

I’ve been living in Newark for almost 6 yrs now. I frequent this store to buy stuff I can’t find at ShopRite. If you don’t speak Spanish and need help you have to walk around and ask a few people before you can find someone to help. If you’re black security can some times follow you around very uncomfortable. What I hate with the store the most is the smell. I don’t know why they can have it smelling nice or have no smell. You can’t reuse your mask after leaving this store. The mask stinks.. they really have to improve on odor..
