Western Beef Supermarket — Local services in New York

Horrible place only because they do not respect OTR drivers time/ waste driver's clock down all day long for nothing. I arrived at 7am like told to by the broker and there were 12 to 14 other trucks all told to arrive at the same time FCFS. They left my trailer load until very last at the end of the day/ from since being there first thing in the morning. If...you arrive the evening previous you cannot sleep inside the gated/locked property...outside on the street nearby....risking getting ticketed/ booted/ or towed. $250 lumper fee( payable before they begin) for 13 pallets. They gave me a door at about 1115 or 1130. But...then once I got into the door, they still did not BEGIN unloading until another 2 hrs later 130pm. Once they finally decided to get around to beginning they took about 1hr time to offload the product off. The dock is kind of tight to back in to, and so the security guard will help guide you if necessary...so that part is helpful. Since...you are going to be there ALL....freaking....DAY, the cafe inside the Western Beef grocery store is very reasonable prices for NYC. I didn't eat in there, but it seemed inexpensive for such an expensive neighborhood or city. What a terrible waste of time all day so OO do not come here to deliver ok. They will absolutely mess up your next pickup you might have had planned so do not schedule your next load yet, because this slow unloading receiver will very likely screw that...

Very reasonable priced market with really good produce and a large selection of ethnic food.

If your on a budget they have sell slightly damaged produce seperatly in bulk for 1.50$. The deli is reasonable and they have grab and go cold cuts and sandwhiches. Theres no fresh seafood, but its probably not necessary.

They have a bakery on premises and their rolls and baguettes are excellent and baguettes are only 3/2.99 .

The egg prices fluctuate and they were reasonable but they went up again over $3 for eggs (Trader Joes large ia 1.29$), so I dont buy them there.

Theyre sneaky with some sales. For example, Snapple iced tea large was 2.99 normal; now its on "sale" for more at 3/$10. Food Bazzar has them 3/5$ on sale. But ...They had / have mustard / ketchup really cheap at $1 each (small brands but both were as good as Gouldens / Heinze).

Store smells fine and is fairly clean despite said in another review. Staff is freindly. They have a lotto and coin machine.

Parking is plentiful but their parking lot is really dumpy and needs new line painting and more upkeep- not a good first impression.

Ironic sidenote: Despite having lots of choices of ethnic foods they dont have...

I am very disturbed and appalled at the WESTERN BEEF on Webster Avenue. This morning11/19/2024 at 8 am I walked in to make a simple purchase and was accused of stealing an apple when I actually purchased a dishwashing liquid and 2 boxes of shells and cheese not to mention a bag. The manager YESENIA, had the audacity to say that she saw me stealing when in fact what she saw was me walk into the produce section. Furthermore, if I was claimed to have been watched why wasn't the camera checked? It took her to check the produce number on the apple to realize that the apple was not stolen from there. Not only did she embarrass me, she didn't even apologize for the mistake of accusing me. At some point the discrepancy became my purse needing to be checked. Can you believe the attendant at the door didn't speak English to even tell me that because I had a big purse it was to be checked at the door. I asked YESENIA why wasn't that first noted at the door? she tells him in Spanish because he doesn't speak English. DO BETTER!!! IT ISNT MY FAULT YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. I made them refund my entire purchase...The fact that i got got accused of stealing an apple and she was being WRONG...
