Wegmans Recommendations

[Anonymous]

What do you recommend/not recommend at Wegmans? I feel like they have a lot of good (and not so good) foods, so would love to hear what you like. I get overwhelmed and stick to my favorites.

I'll start - the French butter is divine.

They make these charcuterie trays and cheese platters for carry-out that are great. My husband has a Wegman’s right by his office, and he been swinging by on the way home from work on Friday nights to pick up a little selection of treats for the weekend. The charcuterie trays include 4-5 different cured meats, Marcona almonds, dried fruit etc. He also will grab a small cheese platter - 3-4 really nice cheeses, including some unusual selections that I might not have otherwise tried on my own. Way nicer than anything you would ever find preassembled at any another grocery store.

The other night he brought home a pretty big carry-out sushi tray - more than enough for both of us for a nice little dinner. (Before the sushi snobs come for me, yes I know it’s not the same quality that you’d get in a proper sushi restaurant, but for grocery store sushi, it hit the spot for a casual dinner at home!)

I bought their cookie cake for my DD's birthday and it was really good.

Don't recommend: I find their desserts too cloyingly sweet. I also don't like their Asian takeout.

Recommend: chicken pot pie, bagels, cream cheese, summer sausage, cranberry goat cheese, salmon, brown rice crackers, sea salt caramels. Agree that their cheese and deli meat section is excellent. Also love their breads like sourdough.

We like the sushi and poke bowls. The cheese section is great and the employees are helpful. My DH likes the Kobe-style roast beef from the deli. Their Asian prepared foods are extreme mediocre but the mashed potatoes are great. I always pick up the bunch of 2 dozen roses. We once got some party trays from their catering section and everything was really good.

The jalapeño cheese bread is delicious. Also the garlic finishing butter.

Charcuterie and mezze trays are great. I also really like the premade salads and the chicken shawarma rice bowl.

Their store brand products are generally good quality and reasonably priced. I often buy brown rice noodles, GF pasta, pasta sauce, roasted red pepper pesto, rice crackers, and a GF flour they sell in a shaker container for thickening sauces. Their store brand cereals are the only generic ones my kids will eat.

I don’t love the store brand hummus or kombucha. I also find that the cheese selection varies by store.

Great subs especially roast beef and meatball.

We get the sushi sometimes from there too. Love anything from their bakery.

I absolutely LOVE their Blush pasta sauce. It's a creamy red sauce. I buy 6 jars at a time.

Their bottled pasta sauces are fantastic. Great value.

Their pre-marinated meats are all yummy. Value-wise they’re meh, but they are so easy and tasty I buy anyway.

Frozen vegetables mixes w/ or w/o sauce are great. There’s a veggie one with eggplant and zucchini that I use for shortcut roast veg and goat cheese sandwiches.

Everything from the bakery is exceptional. I have to get half loaves so I don’t go carb crazy, lol.

Hummus and other refrigerated dips are great.

I am drawn to the flavored butters every time, and I am underwhelmed every time. I have never found a flavored butter that wowed me tho.

Their flavored yogurts are so good, lots of fruit.

Pretty much, if there is a Wegmans brand version of a product, I will buy it over the name brand. I am almost never disappointed.

The Wegmans brand of frozen potatoes that come in "rosemary" and "mediterranean" are amazing. Who knew frozen potatoes could be so good?

I buy their German (and other European) sausages. Some of them are the most authentic ones I have been able to find.
We also used to love their charcuterie boards, but they are very pricey.
I like their breads and soft cheeses.
The pre packed foods are ridiculously expensive.

We like most things but not their deli meats. We go to Harris Teeter or Giant to get Boar’s Head, which is far superior to Wegman’s brand.
