Beautifully cheerful looking upscale supermarket with upscale prices. It's not for the middle class which is what the families of North Babylon are. This store belongs in an upper class neighborhood like Dix Hills or North Huntington. The food quality is perfect, but very expensive obviously. I'm unable even to afford half a grocery list at this store, I just buy some deli things on Fridays and at a minimum at that, which I'll probably stop doing soon anyway. We shouldn't have to shop at two or three grocery stores just so we can say we bought a superior product at Giuseppe's which the more humble stores will never have. All the great reviews that everyone gives this store are true. The only reason I gave this store two stars is because of the location it chose to be in. If the only groceries that the people of North Babylon can afford in this store are a couple of cold cuts and a container of milk, then what's the point? It's like dangling a juicy steak in front of a starving man. Also, you make all your sandwiches with sesame seed bread. Many people don't like sesame seeds and are allergic to them. It would be nice to have options. This town has it's two supermarkets, Stop and Shop and ShopRite, and we have adapted to them nicely. We appreciate Aldi's presence who's prices put a smile on a lot of faces. Its very humble food quality, but we are a humble town. What should've been erected instead of Giuseppe's is a bowling alley. It would be great for Sunset Plaza economically and socially. In my opinion a much more convenient and fun place for the people of this town which needs more fun and wholesome things to do. It would also bring so much more clientele to the surrounding stores especially the fast food places. Bowling and Mickey D's after, you can't beat that. Please don't misunderstand, you're a great supermarket, and I'm blown away, but you're in the wrong place. All you're doing here is teasing the low income middle class people who live here who have to work multiple jobs so they can be able to pay their mortgage, enticing them to buy all this delicious gourmet food which they can't afford. Maybe a plate of gourmet pasta once in a while as a treat, but very infrequently. I hope you know what you're doing Uncle G, especially during this pandemic which has pulverized middle class incomes even more. It would be heartbreaking to see you close down in a year or two after such hard work and money that went into erecting this very...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe coffee and sushi here are really good! And the price is surprisingly good compared to the Starbucks at the location. Alittle over $4 for a large seasonal coffee (the flavors are awesome including matcha and blackberry mocha. Which arent over powering, starts subtle and only grows and get better as you drink it and it cools. And $5 and some change for a large frap blended with real ice cream. They always ask if you want whip creme at no charge. For both drinks it only cost about 10$ . (But they large there is about a Starbucks medium. Or small hot coffee at dunkin) (EDIT: I got the blackberry coffee again today and asked if they can make it stronger and my bartista Lauren Made it SO good. And once again is so helpful, and genuinely kind. THIS IS WHY THEY NEED A TIP JAR! ) The constant level of excellent customer service without expectation) they definitely deserve some kind of recognition! The Sushi there is to the right as soon as you walk in and they are always so fresh. There's always people actively making it and Restocking it as I'm choosing and you can even request specific or fresh rolls to be made for you. The Wasabi is better than most restuarants! It's denser, and Much stronger which I love love love. Usually when it's watered down or very diluted I need like 2 or 3 clumps of it. But the Wasabi they mixed can almost pass for real. I barely needed one to get to my dark green ratio. They're assortment is great. They have California rolls, eel avacado, rainbow to dragon rolls, poke bowls , sushi and sashimi . Their salmon looked fresher than the filet at the fish market . They also had snapper, tuna, and yellow tail. I didn't have any of the fresh and cooked foods but they had so much at uncle gs. Including the hot food bar to ready to eat heros to heat and serve entries and family portions. They make it convenient if you don't have time to cook or need to have a quick lunch. The prices are better than anything else cept maybe a slice of pizza or wendys. If you need a pick me up, or want a healthy lunch on the go I highly...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBAD !!! And I am Sicilian ! I grew up on homemade Italian food all my life, from my mom, my grandmother to all my aunts & uncles. Even had pasta made from scratch by my own mother, including pasta sauce from her home grown tomatoes in the backyard garden. My family on both sides could cook. So this was a shock to me. I bought a pizza, a tray of stuffed shells, and a tray of chili bean dip. Wow, where do I start... Anyway the Sicilian style pizza had a great crust. That's it. The pizza was BLAND. Hardly any sauce by the way, and it had no flavor. No garlic or herbs in the sauce at all. The cheese was the worst. It is either no fat cheese or fake imitation cheese. Should be whole milk and REAL. And it did not even melt like real normal cheese. I know my mozzarella. The stuffed shells were no different. Bland, no taste, cheese is fake and the ricotta filling was flavorless. I was so disappointed to say the least. Then I put my last hope into the chili bean dip that was ridiculous in price like all their foods. I almost could not stomach it. Once again FAKE cheese that did not melt and stayed in slivers even 2 inches from the bake element. No flavor and they put cream cheese instead of whole milk sour cream on the bottom layer. Absolutely disgusting. Cream cheese does not belong in Tex Mex, only belongs on bagels and in cheesecake. I do not know what kind of "chefs" they hired, but they certainly do not know food or how to cook. And I will tell it straight to their face whoever owns this joint. They should never have a name like Uncle Giuseppe's which means Uncle Joseph's. They should call themselves "Uncle Vinny's Ghetto Hash" instead. Never buying...
