IGA Amagansett

In the last few years Cirrillo’s market has become the go to destination for savvy visitors and locals alike. The range of food, staff service and general quality is first rate. The owners and management there are very well attuned to the needs of their customers and continue to upgrade te the entire operation. As people who spend a great deal of time out east, we appreciate the presence of this excellent market.

This IGA is the last super market you’ll come across when in route to Montauk unless you choose to shop at a place in the Montauk town. We stopped here around 7 at night on a Sunday and the place was pretty busy. It is conveniently located next door to a wine and liquor store, but the IGA itself does have a small but decent selection of beer. They carry Montauk Pale Ale and IPA; 6 packs for about $ 11 which definitely isn’t cheap. They have 12 packs of corona in the cans which is great for the beach. Produce selection is small but reasonably priced for a store out east. They have standard items you would find at any grocery store and also have an ATM in the front left of the store. Their bakery section looked tasty too.

Since their remodel and what seems like an expansion of their floor space for the customers, I really enjoy shopping here. They are a good grocer for locals who want to avoid the entitled summer people at Citarella’s, and most items are less expensive too. Nice long term checkers that you can actually speak with and build a relationship over time are a bonus. The young lady at customer service signaled me out of a line at one of two open check stands to check me out on more than one occasion.

Easy weekend grocery shopping and lines move pretty quickly. I had to pick through the produce to find fresh fruit and veggies, but I don’t mind cause I like doing it.
If you are looking for discounts, they don’t really have them there. The meat is more expensive than the Waldbaums in town.

Best shopping center around. Great selection of everything [including an organic aisle] — the management was kind enough to look up a receipt for me so I could get reimbursement for an insurance-​eligible medical item. Go next door to get your seafood and wine!

when i asked the girl by the cigarettes where the bathroom was she was like «sorry we don’t have a public bathroom» to which I was like «really? not even for customers?» at which point i guess her boss felt the need to butt in and say «that’s right. no bathroom. water’s off, nothing.»
whatever this is a grocery store — i don’t really think it needs a Unilocal review but i think it’s worth mentioning that one of the managers is kind of a douche.

We stopped for a quick bite, and had Boar’s Head sandwiched at the deli counter. I was impressed.

This was a solid 3-​star establishment. It was a great beach day when I came, so it was not surprising to me that the cashier were less than friendly, as I’m sure they had dealt with an unfair volume of people in a short amount of time.
I was annoyed though, that I did not receive my cash back, and the cashier didn’t double check, so I made it ¾ of the way home before noticing, and drove back quickly to get it.
Some of the overpriced items surprised me, whereas I was even more surprised by the affordability of the fresh produce.

There are a lot of hoity-​toity restaurants and food «shops» on the east end of Long Island. Unless you are a multi-​millionaire you will have to go to a basic grocery store just like the rest of us. The chain that serves this area is IGA. The one in Amagansett is certainly a good source of groceries, but I wouldn’t go much farther than that. The store is well laid out. It has a deli that is pretty darn good. If I were to give the deli stars, I’d give it a solid 4. The meat department is probably worth a 4+. It isn’t huge, but the meat is clearly being cut and packaged in the back, and you can even see this through a little window next to the meat section. I think this is a nice touch.
General groceries are fine, but I gotta say that the customer service in this place is lacking. I was looking around for tortillas and couldn’t find any. There were some «white wraps» but no tortillas. I threw some «white wraps» in the cart and moved on. When we were getting checked out, I asked the person who was bagging our groceries if they had any tortillas. She said, and I quote, «I don’t know nothing about that Mexican crap,» and then finished bagging my groceries. Pretty weak. I found tortillas at the Farmer’s market down the Highway.
This place happens to be next to a great liquor store, and it is the only true grocery store for several miles. It also has a parking lot, which is a big plus. If you want some customer service, you probably won’t find it here. The deli and the meat section are pulling my rating up to 3 stars.
