This was the food options on the hot bar tonight around dinner time, 5pm. For the price you guys could do a little better than that. When you rely on this place for food when you’re away from home and this is what you find... Each WFs is different with their hot bar. Some are reliably good and some not so much. This location used to be good with great Indian food and other winners but the past couple years quality has REALLY gone down. Make it yummy again please!

Even though I was not having the best of days Tim in the meat dept. was super awesome and turned my day around. Just want to say Thank You, Whole Foods should give this man a huge raise for being an asset.Store is always great and prices are better then Costco as long as you know what your buying and the quality is a heck of a lot better then ShopRite or any other store in the area.

I absolutely adore this store, and they recently changed up the layout, so I was really confused at first, but change is necessary for life.I love that they added a self check out area. The whole care body section is really nice, and even though I dont drink, I love walking through the spirits area because they sell so many independent labels and local NJ makers. I think its a great place to stop by too, if you want to look for a variety of different NJ area things, like local made candles, body soaps and what not.

Nice Whole Foods market. Good prepared food selection. This market has a liquor license and has an impressive wine and craft beer selection.

My family and I have been frequent shoppers at this location for years. Everything is superbly organized, and the employees are incredibly helpful. I encourage all local residents to shop here, for this is the best grocery store in the community.

I have to say, been going wfoods for years and really loved it; peeps, products, prices, soft place to shop - local feeling. Since Amazon it seems to have changed; not as well stocked, products I liked no longer carried, peeps little more stand-off ish, not a warm and fuzzy feeling, just too supermarket for me.

This place has a wide selection of Healthier options. I still shop at local health food stores.... But still come here often because they do have items I can only find at Whole foods. The one thing they definitely have that is top notch is there prepared foods bar. They always have at least a half dozen soups, but normally more. Great selection of hot food which they change up weekly. Tons of prepared salads. I could go on and on. If you have been here, you know what I am saying. If you havent been here, then.... What are you waiting for?!?!

It was my first time shopping in Whole Foods ever since it was bought by Amazon. It was also my first time using my Amazon Prime membership. The store was clean and organized, the staff were friendly and helpful, produce was fresh and readily available for customers, and prices were reasonable let alone fairly inexpensive given the Prime benefits. I won’t be shopping anywhere else. This place has me sold!

I like Whole Foods. However, sometimes I have an issue finding brand name products that I can easily find at other supermarket chains. This chain can be pricey. But, like any supermarket chain it has its followers.

Review №17

Overpriced everything. The store is not the cleanest & allot of the employees act like they dont want to be bothered when you approach them with a question or concern etc. I also think the store is very unorganized, and the isles are confusing not in any kind of order that makes sense.

Review №25

Talking about the product they sell i have nothing to say cuz theyre hight quality, they have a bakery also a pizza place, a food town as well, vegan product etc. The only thing that i dont like because I feel is inappropriate from the cashier, is; that they dont treat you equally some of them greet you some other dont say a single word. But before you just into conclusions let me clarify this matter. Is just my experience in this place cuz I been a costumer for over 10 years now.

Moved from Manhattan to NJ recently. The Tribeca NY Whole Foods is wonderful. It’s disappointing when shopping at the Whole Foods in Middletown NJ. The shelves are sometimes empty. We bought blackberries and half of them were rotten. Also bought a package of heirloom tomatoes and those at bottom of package were rotten! The frozen lobsters we bought for $10 each were not the best. I always loved shopping in Whole Foods but now will do my shopping at Wegmans!

Review №50

Its like any other store really.... some things are great, others not so great.The fresh fish is terrific, 20% off a case of most wine (even the stuff on sale) is amazing, the cheese shop has an awesome selection, and hands down they have the best store-made guac Ive ever had. Most of the other prepared foods are pretty middle of the road (not great, but not bad either) & the 365 brand in general is the same. Both are on par with other supermarkets in the area only Whole Foods is WAY more expensive.Not the place I shop all the time, but for certain things you cant beat it.

Usually I would give Whole Foods 5 Stars. But today, my first time in a Whole Foods since they started the one line for all checkout registers thing and as if I had just committed a sacrilege, I was rudely stopped by an adult male wearing a yellow safety vest who abruptly redirected me and spoke to me as if I was shoe gum, because, (while due to the lack of line signage) I did not realize there was a single line that forms all the way at the far end of all of the checkout registers. So, I ask you, how is anyone supposed to know that without being familiar with the Whole Foods Line Process?I went there just for two items and did not walk the entire store. How disappointing to be spoken to in such a disrespectful manner over something so trivial while I was wearing a mask and gloves and looking for the line and how they were handling checkouts in the first place! A really KOOKY experience.....

Review №53

It seems that you guys are doing a great job counting the number of people entering your store and making sure everyone is wearing a mask however the aisles should really be ONE way only because the people shopping in the store are not abiding to social distancing rules staying 6 feet away from each other. The registers are great with the plexiglass however I think you guys really need to monitor the shoppers staying 6 ft away from each other while shopping. I just went there today and people dont keep there distance and will go down the same aisle in a different direction. It does not help the spread of COVID. You should make the aisles ONE WAY only and same goes for the produce area. There needs to be arrows and signs to remind people to take turns and keep their distance.

Where else can you buy groceries AND save African babies? No place else, thats where. So what if there store is owned by the biggest corporation this world has ever seen and which goes against everything that the Whole Foodites supposedly stand for.

Overall a decent whole foods with a lot of space dedicated to booze. The bulk bins rivals the ones a the Whole Foods near me, which is a bonus. They had all sorts of sprouted granola, nuts, and other items that I cant find in my store. Their produce and prepared foods were both nicely presented but selection is lacking. They had maybe one or two dishes labelled vegan and not much in the way of healthy plant based options.

Review №73

I would give them four stars but I feel like with the buy out they have streamlined the food they carry so I feel like its not as big of a selection heck the deli will not even make a custom sandwich and well thats a bit of a bummer, though the staff is friendly and helpful and its a nice smaller foodstore.

I truly enjoy shopping at Whole Foods. I do understand Amazon took it over I do hope Amazon keeps the store and does not do away with it. If they did away with it I would never buy food online I would go to a different store I do not believe and checking out myself either and neither do my friends so I hope they dont take that away. I have been shopping here for 6 years. My only issue is they need more help at the deli counter as they had years ago they seem to have taken away more people so you have to call someone to the counter, and that should not be. All and all it is a five star store.

The sales people go above and beyond their job description to make customers happy. Mainly for recent health reasons (but I do adore animals) I am an organic raw vegan for all meals except once a week I have a cheat meal. Its not easy being a raw vegan so I look foward to this meal all week long. I have a beyond meat brat sausage on a gluten free bun with tons of mustard. Not too healthy but it hits the spot. When wholefoods ran out of the brats they called another store and made sure they put one aside for me. They were very nice and explained that they order 10 cases but are lucky if they get 4! Thank you for explaining why you run out all the time. Beyond Meat Sausages are crazy good and thank you wholefoods for supplying them!

Beautiful store with very attentive and professional staff. With wacko New Jersey liquor laws (a racket!), this is the only New Jersey Whole Foods location that has wine and I think some premium beers, too. Best organic selections of fresh fruits and vegetables, anywhere in the state. Ive noticed that the fruits and vegetables (particularly apples, berries, pears) have MUCH LONGER shelf life and seem much higher quality than at nearby Shop-Rite stores, which I credit to Whole Foods organic supply chain and better food buyers. Local managers and staff keep the store immaculately clean, and there is ample seating in the front of the store to eat lunch. A nice touch is that there have pre-made bags of shaved ice, free and self-serve, for customers to keep cold groceries cold while driving home.

Review №91

I went in mid morning to get soup. The moms chicken soup had round pieces of chicken in it; where do you ever see chicken in circles. The lentil soup was one of the most inedible, disgusting things I have ever eaten-tasted like it had been burnt and served in the same pot. Do these cooks not taste anything before putting it out for sale. At $10 a container, they should. ND whatever the coldcuts are wrapped in make them wet and slimy by the time you get home. Needless to say I will not be shopping there again.

Review №93

The stores are nicely laid out, but unfortunately, I have not had any good experiences with any of the Whole Foods prepared foods. The potato salad was dry and bland. Yesterday, I picked up mashed potatoes that were so dry and bland that they were basically inedible; I had to repair them with milk, butter and salt. The worst dish was lemon And garlic flavored mushrooms. When I went to taste one from the container, instead of a mushroom, I got a huge hunk of lemon. I hope when Amazon takes over, there are some improvements.
