Roche Bros

I posted a 3 star review.
I decided to update to 5 stars.
Because, really, this is is BEST Roche Bros near me.
The stores in West Roxbury and Wellesley are almost as good, but this store is the largest one that isn’t SUPER busy, which is really nice. There is a bank inside this store (which I visit often), and I often buy groceries in this store. Only issue is the prices, they can be high, yet the quality is superior and for meats, this is your best bet. For other regular grocery items, prices are REALLY not that much moe than Stop&Shop or other places of the sort. People often give Roche Bros a bad name when it comes to pricing, which I simply don’t understand. I normally food shop at the Walpole 1A Super Stop&Shop (Roche should have self checkout and scanner guns, like they do!) which is much larger, yet still doesn’t have a few items I purchase here (certain breads, and they don’t have the same meats). I do wish they would start having Self Checkout like at Stop&Shop, yet that’s not too big of an issue.
Anyway, until next week when Wegmans opens (hmmm, will this place feel the competition?), this is my closest, good grocery store, and the one of the only full grocery stores currently in Westwood (Lambert’s, Target, and Wegmans are the others in Westwood)

This Roche Bros has gone downhill lately, I shop there 2 – 3 times a week. Today my experience with the Store Manager, Mary I believe that was what her name tag said,. was not good. She and a few other people were at the desk in front of the cashiers. I tried to speak with her about a bagging issues I have there the past couple of times I shopped there, She never looked at me or stopped what she was doing. I realize it was a little busy being the Monday before Thanksgiving but I have seen it busier on a normal Sunday. She just said «yeah, yeah, yeah» as I was speaking to her. Not what I call customer service! At the very least I would have expected one of 5 – 6 others to step in and listen!!! I left there feeling ignored and dismissed. Not the way a Manager should act. I think I’ll go to Needham or West Roxbury from now on, a longer ride but at least I won’t have to deal this so called store Manger in the future.
Also their hot food is not as good as used to be — not sure why new people perhaps?

The selections are awful. I’m new to the area and Roche is the closest, but I think heading to the Market Basket up 128 in Waltham will be worth the trip. It’s not that it’s a bad store, but if you cook and want to find the ingredients for the things you make, you won’t find most of them here. But if you want to find those things you love to cook pre-​made, this is the store for you.

This Roche Bros is pretty decent and doesn’t have all the fancy pretentiousness. However, the supermarket is clean and bright. Service is rather accommodating and available.
Prices can be high for non-​sale items. I’m not a big fan of the seafood department, as it’s generally pricier than other places with just okay quality.

Roche Brothers is a fabulous Supermarket that is always clean! The produce is consistently fresh. The Westwood store is easy to navigate.
I also love that they have a wine and beer selection as well. It’s truly a one-​stop shop!
If you are looking for consistent quality, fabulous sales, and an overall pleasant experience, Roche Brothers is the supermarket for you!

Difficult to find items, and the employees are not exactly the friendliest. I usually go to Whole Foods, but had to stop in Roche Bros just to grab a few items… found out it wasn’t the greatest of ideas.

We used the Thanksgiving ordering service for the first time this year and the food was perfect… ordering was easy (called 8 days before) and pick-​up was very orderly on the day before. There were 2 sturdy cartons, one with the turkey in the cooking pan (yea, no cleanup there) and one with all else. They checked all to make sure my order was complete, and instructions were included. There were only 5 adults so had the basic 10 – 12 # turkey with mashed potatoes, whipped butternut squash, stuffing, gravy, 12 rolls, whole berry sauce, and an apple pie for $ 115.00 The turkey was precooked, to be warmed in 350 oven for 1.5 hrs. and the sides for 45 «.
Rave compliments accompanied everything: the turkey, including legs were «juicier than usual» (said smiling at the cook!!) and the pie was juicy and flaky. Creamed spinach, creamed onions, coleslaw and a pecan pie were brought by family members, but the store has numerous other sides, baked goods etc. for purchase.
We did this because there were plans to leave on a trip on Friday and we didn’t want to be so pooped the next day; as it turned out, trip had to be cancelled for surgery and we all would have been in no mood to cook. I would not hesitate to do this again as we were completely satisfied. It made for a peaceful household Thursday morning as well as a relaxed hostess, and simple clean-​up as well.
This would be a terrific gift for the elderly who still want to host, new parents, just anyone!
Thank you to all the hard workers who made it possible.

BUYERS BEWARE! On 8÷9÷13 Roche Bros. ran on their weekly circular dated 8/9−8/15-‘Live n’ kicking chicken lobsters up to 1.25 lb. $ 4.99/LB’. My wife ordered 20 cooked lobsters at their seafood dept for a 6pm pickup. I paid $ 279.48, & sensing an overcharge we returned to complain. When we looked at the bags containing the
lobsters, price tags on each bag was ‘1 piece $ 58′ but never indicated the weigh w/​c contained 4 lobsters each. The customer service rep walked us to the seafood section & the person who worked there said the scale could not weigh all 20 lobsters so he just estimated $ 58/​bag of 4 chicken lobster. He also didn’t want to re-​weigh the cooked lobsters so he suggested the assistant store manager reduce the price of 20 lobsters by $ 58 but we still ended up paying $ 221.48. If for the sake of discussion each lobster weighed 1.25 times 20 pieces @ $ 4.99/lb, that’s $ 124.75. Isn’t it wrong not to weigh each lobster if they advertised it by the pound? Something terribly wrong here.

I like roche bros but find them to be higher in price. Also never have everything I am looking for also the pet aisle has very little

I like this grocery store… here’s the rundown:
1. Not the largest around, but it is CLEAN and the coffee cake muffins are awesome. Yes, the muffins are at all locations, but they always seem to be available when I want them here!
2. Nice high school kids working the registers in the evening. Honestly, they are all so nice and I prefer them over the daytime employees because these kids are just so NICE.
3. There is now a whole aisle of WINE AND BEER!
4. A huge selection of take-​home hot and cold items
5. The bottle return area always has machines that work (that doesn’t usually happen at Shaw’s… they are full, and who wants to them wait in line at the customer service desk? Not me…)
6. There’s always a few hot-​looking Westwood guys in the store. Sure, some of them have wedding rings, but that doesn’t take away from their hotness!
7. Tons of parking
4 stars for the Westwood store! :)

I used Roche Bros Catering out of their Burlington store for my wedding, and everything went really well. They were extremely flexible, willing to provide just what I asked for, and didn’t push things I didn’t want. They also were great about coordinating with servers, bartenders, and party rentals for me.

Why would you? Went to the Butcher/​Meat shop yesterday and waited a long time and I was the only customer. as Big fat man and Louis discussed what I assumed was the theory of relativity in the back and just looked at me a customer who wanted to give Roche’s money… Then after the conversation was Over Louis continued to unload a tray of meat in the Back. When he did come out he slammed my steak tips into a container and went back to playing with his meat in the back. Oh it gets better as I went to check out I dad to wait once again the only one in line as one cashier told the other two how she was done cooking for her husband… Now tell me why in God name I would want to go back there?

i got moon cookies and salad bar today they were superlative.

The staff here is so wonderful, they make shopping here .The produce the best in the vicinity, meat you can trust. The thing is given how many times I’ve almost made dinner only to discover the meat was bad from a closer grocery store. I pledge my allegiance to Roche brothers. Oh, and the music they play is so cool after shopping their I find myself on I tunes buying something else. Thank’s

I partially agree w/​the first review. In most cases, the price is not right. I’ve got Hannaford’s exactly ½ mile from my house, and 2 Stop & Shops within 2 miles. We usually do S&S, especially now that they’ve got the gas station on Rte 1 in Walpole. Yet there are a few reasons why I go to Roche Bros.:
One — the fresh meat is outstanding, particularly the beef. I can grab a couple of ¾-​LB Ribeyes and grill them to a nice medium-​rare and challenge Mortons or Capital Grille to a throwdown.
Two — the florist shop is great. I’ve purchased some great assortments for cheap money that lasted well over a week.
Three — the chicken wing bar. They usually have 5 different flavors, none of which are noteworthy except for the honey-​bbq wings. They’re doing something different w/​those wings compared to the others available. They are nicely sauced and the meat has a great smoky flavor. Plus, on Sundays during football season, they have Buffalo wings at the wing bar that aren’t too bad, all things considered.
I’ve never had problems w/​under-​cooked prepared foods either.
And they’re my only local store that carries bread from Nashoba Brook Bakery in West Concord. The NBB Sourdough bread is simply the best bread there is. Toasts-​up perfectly.

Roche Bros is an upscale grocery store with higher prices. The store is neat and clean, there’s a good selection of prepared lunches and dinners (including sushi), selection of richer foods, and employees who help the elderly load their cars after shopping. The patrons are generally well mannered, so there is a reason why it’s more expensive. I should mention that the prepared food can be undercooked, leading to certain gastrointestinal problems. In the end though, with all things considered, the amenities don’t justify the higher prices.
