I use to shop at Fine Fare weekly, but now I only shop there in an emergency since it is very close to my house. Otherwise, I shop elsewhere. The quality of the fruits and vegetables is less than desirable, quite awful actually. For example, the tomatoes are often all bruised, blotchy, oddly shaped, overripe, or all of the above. You would NEVER find this low quality at the big chain supermarkets. The fresh fish is "frozen" and thawed before being placed on ice for display..I have witnessed the fish being thawed in water. The meats are sometimes fatty and low quality. Read the label on all baked goods and ensure that they're not past the expiration date. I craved a snack last week (July 24, 2020) and found chips on the shelf that had expired in April and June. I was heading to the beach this past Sunday (August 2, 2020) and bought a Tuti Fruiti (baked good) in a hurry. I checked the date on the package after eating it and realized then that it expired in June. I blame myself for not checking the label, especially since I knew from experience that expired items were probably on the shelves. Service with a smile is a far-fetched expectation at this store. With perhaps one or two exceptions, you will not be greeted by the cashiers. I amuse myself by greeting them and getting a faint hello in response, and perhaps a half eyed glance. The reasons stated above are my honest experiences at the Fine Fare store. I really wish they offered better quality foods and healthier options, especially since the location is so convenient to my house. However, I cannot continue to spend hard earned money on such low quality and expired products.

Shoppers Beware. Although, this store does have sales on can goods, fruits, vegetables, and meat. And they now offers an array of organic brands. The have a bad practice of selling out dated food items and food that is actually spoiled. If you shop here, be sure to check the expiration or sell by date. There are times the sell by date is missing from the brand name meat items. Yesterday, I picked up a 3 pack of hillshire Turkey kielbasa with sell by date of May 10th. I also looked at some scotch bonnet peppers which had mold on them. Fortunatelu, I recognized these issues before getting to the cash register. If you shop here stick with non perishable foods. Get your fresh fruits and vegetables from elsewhere because spoiled is not fresh. It's quite the opposite. Also cutting around mold is dangerous. The spores that you can not see may have mycotoxins.

This store is located close to my residence. I only shop there for out of stock ingredients while cooking dinner. Yeah it happens, my dinner is not complete without all the right ingredients. So you could chockup my use for this supermarket to convince. I do like the uniqueness of the products offered and the Caribbean atmosphere of it's customer and staff. Things I don't like are the: narrow isles, cramped pathways, layout, product placement, product selection and checkout. I should also mention the fact that the store is small with an urban feel. Hey what I being objective about, this is the Bronx.

  • Ebony Burnett

During this sad thanksgivings I am unable to enjoy my mother in laws pot roast. Why you may ask? BECAUSE YOU RAN OUT! How you don’t stock up on pot roast around the holidays? Who do yo inventory? I just wanna talk to em. Anywho do better in the future so more people don’t end up unsatisfied like myself.I would add a photo of me holding NOTHING, with a look of disappointment on my face but I will save you the giggles.

  • Crystal Howze

This store has a great variety of items and sales but the workers tend to not check the products for mold. Recently I got cheese here and I had to come back for an exchange. This is the second time I got a molded grocery item. This store is nice all I want is for the products to be checked on so no one has to come back and exchange their item for another.

  • Kay Cee

The fine fare on 233rd posts false sale prices on items to fool customer into spending more if not watching screen. Then they don’t honor the sale price when noticed. The manager admitted they are supposed to but still refused to honor it. He also left the false advertising up until I asked him to take it down if it weren’t a real sale.

  • Jessica Miro

This is the 1st fine fare i have been to that is very well kept...my husband and I were presently surprised as I do not frequent fine fare because of the nasty conditions in some of their other supermarkets. Kudos to the owner of this one...keep up the good work and i will be definitely coming back!

  • Aranza Espinosa

The market was really clean and well stocked. The staff fof the most part was friendly and professional, with the exception of a few, whom seemed annoyed when I asked them a question. Additionally at the front of the store there were some workers not wearing masks.

  • Vladimir Moquete (VladimirTV)

The first to evaluate is the customer service: Avarage in a super market. The second thing to evaluate is the environment: terrible the place smells bad. The third thing to evaluate is price: inexpensive The fourth thing to evaluate is product quality: Average

The cashiers are so rude, mean & insincere. I went there yesterday to buy few things towards their closing time . I dropped my shopping basket on the shelf, the black short cashier standing close to my cashier said to me rudely ‘ you have

  • Alexander Carrasco

It's doing a lot better now-a-days. Much cleaner and the produce is better. The cashiers are still very rude. Even when I try to be friendly. I guess the managers don't mind. And for that they don't get another star for my second rating.

  • Eugene Warner

Decent selection and pricing. Terrible organization by the doors (empty baskets are by the exit, so you have to cross over to that door and block people trying to leave) causes bottlenecks especially during busy times. You're SOL if you

  • Khaleelah Nana

Always a problem over there. Everytime i go there someone is complaining. Always asking to see the manager. Some times the cashier's are going at each other. I go here only cause its close to my house. Sucks for me.

  • R Vega

Well kept and clean, has a deli plus fish market. They serve warm rotisserie chickens. Spanish and Jamaican products a plus. Surrounded by other small stores: Rite aid, Popeye's and a west Indian bakery.
