Brookshire Brothers Express — Local services in Pineland

I don't know what is going on with this Pineland location lately, but it has gotten bad! On August 14, 2024 I picked uo two ribeye steaks for my husband and myself. They each had a tiny brown spot on them, but the sticker indicated they were still well within the best buy date. After cooking them that evening, I was feeling sick within a few hours and my husband wasn't feeling well the following day. We both took several doses of activated charcoal to bind whatever was making us sick. We both said, no more meat from this location! On August 18, 2024, not wanting to drive to Hemphill, I went in to the Pineland location. Looking over the meat selection. It was very picked over. The only two packs of steaks, were quite brown. An older worker man walked through and I asked him if they had any better meat than that in the back? He had a bit of an attitude right at first, and with a cocky smirk he said, "better than what?" I said, "better than this rotten meat that's out here!" He said, "What's wrong with it"? He quickly change his tone and became apologetic and said that he had just gotten there. He offered to go to the back and cut some ribeys for me. It did not take him long to return with them. They were the poorest ribeyes I have ever seen. Nearly the size if a chicken strip! No marbling. I almost didn't even buy them. Three little strips in the pack for $23. But, I felt obligated because the man went back there and cut them. I got them home and cooked them. They were so tough, my knife wouldn't even cut them. I took 2 bites and trashed them! Total waste of money! We all know inflation is too high to be wasting food! This store needs some attention! I hate having to drive to Hemphill or Huntington...

Brookshire Brothers Express in Pineland, Texas is the sorriest excuse of a grocery store in Texas. Its appearance, smell, quality and rat problem is what I would imagine a third world market to be. There is absolutely no daily cleaning being done. Meat, produce and dairy freshness is questionable. Management has been made aware and there has been no changes made. The deli area is an absolute disaster. There is no accountability in this store. The management is not reinforcing any cleanliness inside the store or on her busted, less than fresh staff. Employees are smoking cigarettes at the entrance. They have absolutely no regard for themselves much less the public OVERspending their money there. It’s a very small community with that location being their only option for fresh foods and BB is just taking a dump on them. It’s disrespectful to the brand and the community. DO BETTER, THE PEOPLE OF PINELAND...

Employees are friendly, the store is nice and kept clean. This place tends to stay busy but, the employees are pretty good at keeping things moving so you're in and out fairly quick. Surprisingly they have a large variety of beers to choose from for being a small store in a small town. It's gas prices are competitively one of the cheapest around. It goes back and forth between this establishment and the Brookshire Brothers in Hemphill. You can also buy hunting and fishing licenses here along with some fishing lures, baits and gear. The fishing supplies they have are located at the front of the store (directly beside the entrance) on a pegboard/shelf...
