“Worst restaurant ever. There an entire Isle of raw meat, nothing was cooked. Terrible menu, no one greeted us or seated us. We walked around aimlessly waiting to be seated. Nothing here is made fresh, there were endless isle's of frozen prepared food. Couldn't even buy beer past 9pm.....what kinda bar is this. Bring back IGA.”
“Friday sausage and peppers, Excellent!!
The meat loaf sandwich was awesome!!
Parking: Across the street they have plenty of parking
Wheelchair accessibility: Have ramp.”

“Much easier since self check out has been put in, but i think they should still have more than one cashier considering the amount of people all the time. Other than that, over all great place to do your shopping”
“Absolutely wonderful people and amazing foods. Grass fed meats, breads and cookies that just melt in your mouth, fresh fruits and vegetables locally and responsively grown.”
“I've been shopping at Market 32 since the day they opened the new store. There are dandelion greens and many different types of kale! One day when the fabulous radishes were not there, I spoke to a woman I thought was simply a pair of hands -- and she informed me that the radishes just were not up to snuff that week and she passed them by! What a help that is! I rarely go to the middle of the store – but the Produce, the Bakery, the Meat Department where you can find tomahawk steaks and grass fed beef, and the Fish department - where you can find things fresh and there's someone to talk to who can guide you to what's especially good -- it all makes a difference. I wish the Price Chopper fellows had the courage to go all the way – but for the moment, what they're doing is so greatly appreciated! And -- by the way -- there is someone packing your groceries while you're unpacking your cart. The help is terrific. And I thank them. Overlook the fact that they're in a Wallmart Strip Mall -- and give them a try. You'll be pleased you did.”
“The gas station is fine, just like any other gas station. But I actually go here because it has the old school, free, precise tire filling station. A hidden gem!”
“Massive produce section, great ready to eat foods, and a lot of variety. They don’t have the best sales compared to other local chain grocery stores but fantastic selection and always clean and easy to shop.”
“We have been shopping here for a long time. Customer service has been so so and selections have been hit or miss. Today the salmon selection was really great and Chitra was fantastic. She was so thoughtful and put our blueberries and grapes into a plastic bag in case the box/bag opens . She put things gently into the cart
We have had many experiences with cashiers, being very careless with our produce, etc.
Thank you, Chitra!”
“Fresh and flavorful grinders and rolls at pleasant valley impressed me. The ingredients were top-notch, bursting with taste. The variety on the menu catered to different preferences, and the portions were generous. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere added to the enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended.??”
“Stop & Shop has a very nice assortment of different brands and products. They have the cheaper version and the more expensive ones. There fruit I’ve found wanting several times. ALDI has a good variety of fruit at a better price.”
“I stopped by the BJ's in Torrington, because I needed some honey and cheese. This BJ's surprisingly wasn't that busy on two nights before Christmas. It was well stocked, but it took me some time to find everything I was looking for because the layout of this store is a bit different from the one in West Hartford.There was a very kind lady offering samples of corn and apple sauce, she was working at both stations simultaneously. Each time I passed by her she offered it to me again. I told her, I just had it, she said "that's ok, have another one!" I always thought the people who check for your BJ's membership card as you're walking in was the most ridiculous job, because you can't really do much without your card. On this occasion they didn't ask for my card. I was convinced it was in my purse. After my shopping cart was filled and I went to pay, I discovered I didn't have my card. Lucky it was in my car, so all time wasn't wasted.Their job to check for your card, actually has a purpose, holding you responsible that you know where your card is.BJ's is a Club Warehouse. Their membership is $55 annually. This is where I typically go to fill up my car with gas. Their gas prices are the best.”
“I love the stuff this store offers.I start off my visit to get their "Awesome"cleaner for a buck and it works better than "name brand" products that cost 5 times more.this is just one example of dozens that I can give”
“I live right down the road and I love Sam's. They even have canned dog food. I've always lived in rural areas- so to me having a convenience store less than a mile away is just fantastic.”
“One of the best looking DGs I've been to. The curb appeal was also pretty. When I went on a Sunday, it was pretty quiet. I try to go on Saturdays because you can use their $5 coupon.From what I saw, the shelves were pretty organized and clean. I did notice some employees stocking the shelves; hence the pile of items waiting to be unloaded on the aisles.They had a mix and match, buy one get one 50% off aisle that was disorganized. We bought two items and didn't get the second one 50% off. We read the fine print regarding which items were excluded but since the aisle was disorganized, we weren't sure if it was truly part of the sale. I think they should keep all items that were on this particular sale promotion in one spot so it's easy to find; items not part of the sale should be separated.Overall, it is one of my favorite stores and I'm glad that there is one close to me.”
“As Dollar Generals go, this one is downright cherry. There are others in the area that lean into the black, but here we have regular convenience store lighting. You can see! You can see it from across the dark parking lot! Speaking of which, parking is plentiful since we're dealing with a big plaza. Inside you have a little bit of everything. They have coolers for cold food, regular groceries, greeting cards, seasonal, paper products, etc. Aisles are okay size, and the store is big enough where you can avoid other shoppers. There are some places admittedly better faced than others - picture frames are discombobulated, but seasonal Halloween looked picture perfect. The cashier was really friendly with the best register "bell" to summon him I've ever seen.”

“Some of the cashier's are great they help you I guess it's the head of the departments the girl at the service desk is great to very pleasant I think her name is kara”
“Phyllis in the optical department was extremely helpful. I broke my glasses with no back up ones and she took her time to work on them. She did the best she could while maintaining a pleasant disposition. She really helped me during the time of my distress. Not being able to see clearly is stressful and I am extremely grateful and want to acknowledge her for all her help and understanding. She made going to BJ’s a valued experience.

“I mean, it's a Walmart, not much more to say. If I were to compare it to the one in Waterbury or Wallingford, I would say it has less of a selection. Other than that, it's what you would expect from a store like this.”
“This discount store has approximately 19,000 stores in the US and Mexico. It is headquartered in Tennessee and founded in 1939 as JL Turner and Son. They had a name change to Dollar General since 1955.
Dollar General sells a wide variety of items such as home decor, clothing, cleaning supplies, and many more. This store in Barkhamstead is very similar like the other stores. It is well stocked and for the most part, organized. What I noticed in most DGs, there are always items waiting to be stocked on the end of aisles.
This one was pretty busy on the day we went because it was the Sunday before Christmas; I assume people were doing last minute shopping like we were doing too. They had many seasonal items and prices were affordable, as their name holds a reputation for that. This is also the first DG that I've seen two cashiers working; I think because there was a long line. Overall, a standard DG with discounted items. It's definitely a popular store and I understand why.”
“This was my first time in the store so I wasn’t familiar with it at all. I wasn’t greeted and the girl stood at the counter and stared at me without saying a word when I was ready for check out, she saw me looking at the smoothie options. I didn’t feel welcome here and I’m not sure I’ll be coming back. The avocado chips were also rancid, so I had to go back into the store. They did apologized and they give me my money back for those but the sell by date was 2022 I just didn’t feel very welcomed.
EDIT: they definitely made it right. Thank you. I appreciate you fixing the issue!”
