Reviews of Metro Southgate (Fruit Store)

Sulanis

The staff were nice, but the prices were solely based on how much will people pay before they stop shopping here.

Brittney & Rocco Micucci

Typical grocery store but staff are not very helpful. Deli people are a bit careless. Good bread though. Selection of items is only okay.

Jrod macolicious

Clean Place friendly staff very nice produce

Dave Jelly

One of our go to places for groceries. Staff is always pleasant and helpful, and the store is clean and well stocked. Produce is usually fresh and quality is fine. It also tends to cost more than the discount grocery franchises but there are always some deals to be had if you look for them and check the flyer.

I got to Tim's a few times a year. If you can't keep chocolate dip donuts on stock I'm not sure you can call yourselves a donut shop

Kerri Seaver

Very clean store. The products are well displayed and organized. Prices seem a little high.

Adric Gudbranson

Please stop cutting your pineapple with the same knife you just finished cutting onions with.

GREGSTER JEROME (POETICCOLORS)

Very great customer service. The people are friendly the fruits and vegetables are always fresh..there is always a good sale..week day sales can surprise you..awesome place for groceries

Brigette Fraser

Excellent place for fresh fruits, and vegetables! Variety of other foods, prepared cooked meals! Clean place and friendly service! ????

Emily “Snakegal” R

Their takeaway meals are affordable and tasty and slightly different every day. Most other stuff is cheaper at Wal-Mart unfortunately.

Steven Mockett

This is a great location - bright and fresh looking and new shelves and things to make your experience more pleasant. They have lots of variety of products and fresh produce is exceptional- staff are friendly and very courteous. They tend to have excellent sales especially in bakery and grocery dept. Plus you can get meat reduced for quick sale which is awesome and helpful. A good choice to go here

Mayrhosby Yeoshen

A bit more expensive than other grocery stores but it has more quality products

Capt Bob

Its a small old school metro. Expensive compare to the Produce Depot across the street for fruits and veggies. Freshco is also much better on the pocket book, is 3km away but worth the drive

Sohrab Ebrahimi

it's the typical Metro grocery store where everything is shiny and neat and expensive LOL in all seriousness I like to location very convenient and then there's the massive parking lot for people to park although it can get a little bit hectic all in all 4 stars????

Rebekah Belyea

Lots of variety for produce, very aware of COVID restrictions. Decent enough prices.

D Yue

Fresh produce. Clean store. Prices on the higher side.

Rachael Miller

Today was not the first time that I have been frustrated/disappointed with this location. I got in line in the express lane (1-8 items) with three items, the woman in front of me had what I would estimate was around 30 items (she filled up the entire conveyor belt and the items were not large). After waiting much longer than I should have based on the lane that I was in, (the woman behind me was so frustrated she left, and I would have as well if tomorrow wasn't a holiday), the cashier did not even acknowledge my frustration, or apologize, or even give the usual "have a good night" or equivalent once my transaction was done. All this happened while a woman who appeared to possibly be a supervisor or manager (I make that guess based on the fact that she was carrying a deposit bag) wandered around, looked at me, looked at how many items I had and how many items the other woman had. My guess is she could have jumped on another cash and rang up the line of people that was continually increasing behind me. Not only did she not do that, but she did not even acknowledge the frustration that was clear from my face and crossed arms.

Jenn P

Sometimes their selection lacks, but a lot of the staff make up for it

Mel Skinner

Well laid out with competitive prices.

Art Zombie

Ah it's pretty expensive for most items. The chicken and wedges deal is solid though. Checkout is easy enough most times. they had a big line one day but the cashiers are friendly enough (although some are quiet loud on multiple ocasions.. well blame that on the plexi)

Nigel Bachmann

Prices are higher than the competitor. But good selection and frequent sales. Hot ready to eat foods and great produce.

Imran Kanji

It's pretty standard for a grocery store. Like what separate grocery stores apart? What sets this metro apart? I went on Saturday evening and the was almost no lines. The produce looked fresh and the meat was fully stocked even though it was a long weekend. Ample parking on the side and front of the building. The cart I got didn't have a funny wobble like many do and the floors weren't noticably sticky or anything. Highly recommend this grocery store if you are looking for a Metro and are in the Hunt Club and bank area!

Sarah M

Thanks staff for being awesome during this difficult time. And thanks to Tina who is probably one of the most efficient cashiers I've ever had. Also, this store is super clean, kudos!

Kwame Akyem

This store is advantageously located. Flanked by three popular streets- the Bank, Hunt Club, and Albion, it is easily accessible from the city centre and the suburbs. There's a free spacious car park, and a bus stop nearby. The store carries a wide range of groceries and household supplies which affords ba one-stop shopping experience. In case one needs to fill a prescription, Shoppers Drug Mart is immediately adjacent to Metro - very convenient.

Michel P

Friendly deli person who took the time to show me everything that came with the family deal, and where to find the items. Clean store and quick service.

Gabrielle Case

Great service!! I found a bilingual cashier who was really happy to practice her french (yay!), clean the self-serve between each clients and great selection of products! One of the best Metro I went to.

Tonya K

Absolutely love shopping here. Most of the staff have been here for years and even throughout covid, they provide a level of customer service I haven’t experienced at the other stores in the area. They ensure that the self checkouts and …

Devon Babin

All depends who you deal with. They have some good employees. Others, however, have a lot of attitude. Too often have I left being made to feel stupid. I work in the area and used to go to the store a few times a week. I've stopped.

ClaytonD

Everything I've gone to look for has been in stock. Very fair prices and excellent competitive sale prices. Deli is always clean and stocked and the attendants are friendly and have never had a problem meeting my requests. Produce I've bought has always been clear of bruises and acceptable in appearance. Aisles are clearly labeled and aren't crowded, product is properly faced and stocked. The store's clean and uncluttered and the cashiers are presentable and friendly. I've been going to this location since they've opened and would venture to say that in that time, it seems now is when they've been at their best. Thanks, Clayton

Christine Johnson Delaney

Super friendly, helpful staff! Love the variety available ????

Colin White

This place is by my father's house and has always been amazing they renovate every few years and a selection is perfect. I was there for last minute Christmas things and a couple cheap microwave goodies that I like I was in and out during the Christmas rush in under 5 minutes so I'm always impressed

Margaret Barker

My experience shopping at Metro was fabulous.Wish there was one Carleton Place Ontario!!!☺

Cris Baets

A great local grocery store. I always find the store clean and the staff helpful. Decent sales and a good selection of ice cream treats!

Brad Jackman

Excellent selection and prices are what you'd expect. They have a deli area and pre made food for take out. This location also has 6 self checkouts.

Rashid Maani

This Metro is my go to store for meat and chicken, specially their rib steaks. As long as it's the Canadian AAA, NOT the Mexican beef, I'd stay away from that! Happy BBQ season!

Jordy O

Absolutely terrible. I went last night and the meat section was virtually empty. I ended up grabbing some prepacked lunch meat, which was obviously stored wrong at some point, and started to go bad. It was under the label so I couldn't …

John Paul Handrigan

Good selection of produce, fruit and meat, but similar to other Metro stores I find the prices to be a little high. This is especially true when comparing to other large grocery chains.

Retro5girls

In Ottawa, Metro has the freshest and best quality for produce. Prices are a tad bit higher then most groceries stores but cheaper usually means low quality. That's why I love Metro

Erin O'Brien

Fresh produce, usually good sales. Friendly staff and clean store.

Joy

This is one of the few stores to carry gluten free foods. The selection is excellent and not terrible dry rice breads just great quality Udi's breads and muffins! I love it! Thank your store I can conveniently get food when I need it! Yahoo!!!.

darth's darkside of the reef

Went to buy some muffins, I had previously bought muffins from loblaws they were amazing . Figured they would be the same at metro....this was a very bad assumption. They were horrible. Dry as hell. Bought some strawberry cheese Danish also horrible. Their baked good suck. Do not buy them

Claudette B

Great Metro, produce section very fresh n well set up. Bakery & meat deptartments was very well laid out. Very personable and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend this store location.

Samantha Galvez

Very good place to find your groceries lots of varieties, fresh fruits and vegetables, the pizza they made is also wonderful!

Joe The Eurosquatter

Good service, but the prices have gone up big time and tonight, the place closed 20 minutes early, in spite of the website specifically saying open tonight until midnight (and closed tomorrow for Canada Day). Luckily, I had time to bicycle over to Loblaws and get the few things I needed. In summary, I chose Metro first, and you let me down. Boo-urns.

Ricardo James

I was truly blessed to have Jo-Anne help me yesterday. I have recently started to eat healthy food as a regular way of life. I eat Kale, Parsley, mangos and oranges. In the past I ate alot of fast food and junk, very often this was the norm. Jo-Anne made some suggestions that tasted great one ( with butternut squash ) I tried before and forgot about tasted amazing. I will not add this to my regular eatings also. Fast foodbis easy yo get, knowledge about good for is not always present. Thanks for you recomendations and even how it would be best ate. You are truly wonderful. Dinner was great and now so will lunch be too.

david dulude

Im edting this review after finding No Frills i found out how stupid expencive this place is, the prices are insane, no frills i can get food for an entire month for less than 400$ but here, i bought spices, bbq sauce and some other stuff and it was around 60$, where at no frills i can get it for super cheap, this place does have a place in my heart because it was the first store i went to as a child, and i will continue to go for loyalty sake, but i wont be doing my monthly food pickups here

Kimberly Price

Always friendly professional customer service! Great prices and location. Well followed health protocols ????

Pierre Fakhouri

Parking is great! Store is quite big with a huge produce section! It also seems new, compared to the Metro located on McCarthy Road. Prices are also great as always!

Lin Wah Bazinet

Customer service on the hot food department was mediocre. Staff was talking too much with other staff and not attentive to customers. Was slow and need to attend to other customers waiting to e served.

EcOBoOm

Much better than loblaws imo. You dont need to walk a mile to find the cereal isle , or if you forgot to grab bread say, you again dont need to walk a mile to back track. Other than that no name bagies are cool.

Terry Smyth

Always pleasant and helpful. Good is very fresh.

Reliable Watch

All metro staff are racist people when ever they see black person they follow to see if what he is doing

Bow Delorey-Tully

Always have great meat selection and fresh vegetables.

Thivakar saravanamuthu

Very good place for cake or food. Shopping is good to but some items may be pricey. Nice staff. Clean place

carey oliver-machado

Never will be shopping here for fresh products again cut open a pepper I bought yesterday and it's crawling with live bugs absolutely disgusting

Ronald Labonte

Clean and stocked with fresh produce Reasonable prices Parking ...not so much but ok Friendly staff

Amanda Ame

Always clean. Good staff. Large selection of Gluten Free items. One of my favorite stores.

Catherine

This Metro grocery store is one of our favourite places to shop. 1- The staff are all super friendly, helpful, take you to the shelf. 2- Prices are the best, the items we want are often on sale, and pricing is better than the other stores. 3- Parking is always available and not clogged and dangerous like another local store. 4- Manager is very friendly and pleasant, and she actually listens and obviously looks after her staff, as they are happy and relaxed, which all makes for pleasant shopping. 10 stars ????

Raeda Masri

Convenient hours and very friendly staff. I love to buy flowers from this location. One star removed because it is a little more expensive than Food Basics.

Dianne Boyer

I shop always at Metro. They have what I need. I do like the prepared fruit for a refreshing desert and my teens love their pizzas (me too, when I run behind with work and it's too late to cook a larger meal). Great taste, and very reasonable in price. I like the staff who are always friendly from the nice lady who greats you when you come in, the lady who works in the produce room cutting fruits and veggies for display, making my life easier (I dislike cutting fruit and veggies) to the usual young men behind the deli who are in the deli. Its nice to see the same people working, say hello and when you leave tell each other "have a nice day". I truly like thus Metro they are always stocked with what I need and great customer service. THANK YOU METRO....

Mike Bailey

Friendly staff, great products such as Neale's Sweet N Nice Ice Cream.

Tony Carey

Should be dilevery ever day not just Wednesday only

Marc Scrivener

Great place to shop. The store is always clean and when you go for specials from the flyer they always have it in stock. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and when you ask them where something is they will take you and show you and not just tell you what aisle to go to.

Kevin Stanley

Love this store very well stocked and very well laid out floor plan

Nicolette Kaplan

Good quality items, great vibe, friendly staff... 4 stars only because it's a smaller location so it's not always easy to find all the items/brands I prefer.

Hana Dib

I like it so much,, its big and cleaning,, you find any thinks,, friendly workers,, good price,, and make offer's good...????????????

Cameron Wrighte

Very friendly staff. Especially Matt in the deli, he was extremely nice and helpful when I needed a last minute deli platter. A+ service!

Adam Houlihan

Sold me moldy cheese ravioli.

Abdalah Dia

About as good as any Metro can be. Has stock, has the stuff you need. Not going to give it a lower score just because it's more pricey than most places, kinda have to accept it when you shop here. Staff are nice enough at cash and on the floor if you need a hand. Typically not that busy, even though I'd say it's one of the busier locations.

Sunshine Lagh

Metro is my favorite grocery store. Great meat selection, pre-packaged supper ideas and yummy baked goods.

Bern Visser

Good retail grocery store. This one is open until midnight, which is handy! Reasonable prices, good selection in produce and meats. Clean store.

Gilles

My favourite grocery store, perfect size, great people.

Ken Kowey

Caroline in the Bakery Department was incredibly helpful as we were wanting a small Cake for my Mother in law’s 100th Birthday celebration gave us great advice and provided the “Bling” to go along with our provided cake topper.

Garth

Get deal on Angus beef and russert potatoes. Love to shop at this particular location. Staff is very friendly and courteous

Naoko N.

Very rude and not customer oriented. Never apologize even their mistake but instead the staff yell at you when you stand up for your right.

Maeve Hazel

This location has really shaped up over the years. We used to go here all the time for produce until Walmart opened up their own product section. I still come here sometimes whenever I’m bored and looking for something a little extra bougie to try out from their bakery or fridges. It’s always very sparkling clean and organized.

A B

Fresh produce and baked goods. Always stocked and neat ... A good place for late night shopping. Best thing I would say about this store is, is fast checkout no matter what time you come here... very friendly staff.

Joel Racine

Good selection. Decent prices. Lines can get busy later at night when there are less cashiers.

Rob Lal

Metro , in and out quick , little party platter,, parking lot still a challenge for some,,,

Ying Lu

Everything I need is there, it’s a pleasant shopping

Steph Ames

Not the cheapest shopping but good selection and a great bakery. They remain a grocer so you don't have to deal with isles and isles of non grocery merchandise. And they give air miles.

masterRSH

Love this place recently renovated looks fantastic with well stocked fresh produce deli/bakery/meat/dairy/grocery options and service is good too.

Craig Azar

Nice small style grocery store with everything you need. Great to avoid the mega stores and the crowds. Many of the staff have been here for a while and are friendly and professional

Belinda Warren

Metro has fairly good prices and weekly specials, friendly staff and lots of parking is available. They used to be a 24 hour but according to google search they are now open 8 am-12 pm.

Matthew Blake

Meh I like metro. It's a grocery store. It has everything your looking for. Staff this time around were a little rude. My only issue is usually that the quality of food is same as say a fresco or independent but price way higher. As opposed to loblaws where if ya pay more it's cause they have way more stuff/ higher quality.

K Sparks

Great stock, great prices, nicely spaced out for distancing purposes, and staff is always helpful and friendly!

S G

Metro is a great place to buy fresh produce. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had to buy maple syrup for my family. The staff helped me choose the best maple syrup I could get in that place. The checkout was smooth as well. Definite recommend.

Louie S

I love the ambience and the people there are really friendly. Got the chicken lunch deal for $15 but the chicken wasn't amazing although the potato wedges were fantastic.

Simon Kenneth

Always friendly staff. Fresh produce and nice discounts throughout the store. I recommend

Dan Sweet

Great grocery store for the size. Does seem to be missing some odd items that we are used to. The parking is often difficult to navigate because of the design of the parking lot. Otherwise staff are great, very clean store, well stocked.
