Western Beef is apparently a lot more than beef. This location is big, clean, and well-stocked, with fair prices and helpful staff. The produce department is big and the veggies are mostly very fresh, though not organic. I love the huge variety of Caribbean and African grocery items especially the spices and all the brands of malta. The butchers will slice your meat order in any way you ask, so my friend tells me (I'm vegan). Bummer… I read all the labels of the baked goods and found nothing nondairy. The place gets VERY crowded and the checkout can be long. The parking lot out front is a really nice convenience.
In the Bronx with my baby boy on a late Friday night to plan an ill-fated party (which later was disappointedly canceled) we scrambled to attain 70lbs. worth of chicken. This is only my second time to step inside a Western Beef. The meat and poultry department is one giant frozen tundra here at 2050 Webster Avenue, as temperature is significantly less than the rest of the supermarket. Western Beef is serious about meat and poultry as it suits the American palette of burgers, hot dogs, steak, and all realms of greasy heavy meat to contribute the increasing obesity problematic.
Aisles are clean and well stocked. One register is open for the fast lane of 15 items or less and the customer service area is nonexistent to actually serve customers.
