The original Wegman's is my favorite stop when I'm in Rochester. It's not always the best price, but the philosophy and management of the store, their support of the community, the cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff, the assortment of choices and the quality of the food makes it a great choice. Cheapest? No. But when you're working, have a... More

Wegmans is not that big of a deal. It's really not. If I want to buy a stick of butter (or insert any item here), there are much cheaper places to go to (Walmart, Aldi, etc.). One needs to shop around since Wegmans prices are not always great. In fact, the prices of some items are outright ridiculous ($6 for... More

A wide variety of favors and foods to choose from, all at the same price per pound. You can make a delightful buffet! We enjoyed lunch along with many others, a large area of self service seating in an area of the market.

I hate to heap even more praise on this sacred institution because I don't like everything about Wegmans, but this location in the Pittsford store is actually quite nice. The location could not be more convenient - at Pittsford Plaza - and you can pick up anything at the food bars or order in the cafe part. The best part... More

Okay, normally I would not waste my time (or yours) reviewing a grocery store. A GROCERY STORE! But, Wegmans is so much more than that, especially to the community of Rochester, New York. They have maintained a standard of excellence that has makes all other grocery stores seem cheap, unorganized, and dirty. We have had visitors from many major US... More

Another truly amazing place. Fresh food, huge variety, great service. We need one of these in England.

Wegman's is a wonderful supermarket - truly one of the best. However, the Market Cafe is not that great. The Chinese food is horrible and overpriced. The subs are a literal ripoff of DiBellas (who used to be in the grocery store until their contract ran out and then Wegman's just duplicated their secret - sneaky, eh?). The remainder of... More

wegmans is probably the finest in supermarkets anywhere. when people from out of town visit, they ask to see a wegmans. the choices are endless, and the cafe offers indian, chinese, paninis, italian, salads, soups, subs, hot and cold, pizza, and a host of other unusual offerings. fresh daily, and priced on the high side of reasonable for lunch. but...

I love wegman's and always go whenever I'm upstate, but was disappointed last night when i went there to get dinner at 8pm and their hot and cold food buffets were already closed and there was not much selection of prepared foods to go. What's the point of a buffet if it's going to close before 8?

Wegmans is the best grocery store in the country! It has the best selection of fruit and vegetables that you could possibly want. Fresh baked bread daily. Fabulous cooked foods and very affordable $6 dollar meals are well worth the money. Excellent organization!
