South Shore Plaza

Mall is filled with «children» running around doing whatever pleases which includes shoplifting. Mall security is non existent. Do not go on the weekends there is no parking.

Every time I go there, I feel ignored, not acknowledged and rushed. The last time I went there was to buy a ipad Pro. I told the «genius» that I was planning on buying an ipad pro, but first I had a few questions. He told me that he would get someone to help me. Someone came and asked me what I needed to know. He looked very disinterested in my questions. He kept looking over my head. I felt as if I was didn’t exist. Here I am a potential buyer who is willing to spend close to 2 thousands dollars, feeling ignored by someone who is supposed to do everything to help me decide to buy. The worst is that when I asked him how I could transfer data from my old MacBook Pro to the ipad he replied drily and condescendingly: «It’s because you can’t» So asked him: «How can I then transfer my documents?» He said: «Use the Cloud or send yourself emails» When he was having the conversation with me, he seemed distracted, ready to be over with my questions and God knows that I only asked him 2 or 3 questions. That’s when I decided that I would not buy from them. I went online and chatted with the Apple help on the online Apple store, she answered all my questions, and it appeared that I could easily transfer all my docs using the cable. She was shocked that he was not able to answer my questions. So not only he offered no help at all, he even misled me into believing that I couldn’t transfer my documents and files from the old computer to the new ipad. I really suggest that Apple train their «geniuses» more effectively, and more importantly, teach them customer service skills because so far at that Apple store in South Shore Plaza, I only saw mediocrity and bad customer service skills. Very disappointed!

Store: children’s place
Employees aren’t helpful. Came in today and they were a mess. There’s no sign where the line starts. They told my family member it started in one spot but then pointed them in the wrong direction. Just cause she doesn’t speak English doesn’t mean these employees have to be pricks.
0 stars for effort .
Maybe put a sign up that says «line starts here », instead of three check out stands with employees that look like they hate their job. Jesus

I don’t know how people can afford to drive their Escalades and pay for the finest North Face etc.

Too. Many. Shops.
I’ve never been to a mall that had a Target connected to it; so I guess there’s a first for everything.
I came here on Black Friday and South Shore was actually large enough that the crowds didn’t feel too overwhelming. There’s a pretty wide variety of shops that can range from affordable to excessive; Lord & Taylor, J. Crew, Macy’s, Sephora, and a ton of other smaller retail stores. Simon Malls are typically very well-​stocked and full of brands. The mall was actually so large that I didn’t even make my way through the entire thing.
Everything is also well-​maintained, clean, and bright — except for the skylights, look up and you’ll find seagull butts and bird poop. That’s not a nice sight, but keep your eyes on the ground and you’ll be ok.
The parking lots and garages were a huge bonus! All in all, I’d love to check out this mall again sometime.

This place is huge! So big that I got turned around a couple times walking past all the stores. They have every store you could ever want and even have a Target conveniently located in the lower level. Very clean stores and bathrooms. Food court with decent variety. The best part is the free parking. They have parking garages attached to the plaza (did I mention its for FREE).

just when i was about to praise them for having family bathrooms AND a separate nursing room, I found their map outdated which caused me unnecessary strolling esp when i’m in a rush. fix that and i’ll up my rating!

Worst service and experience!!!
They are in a mall and you can’t just walk in for service. They have 20 people waiting around and nobody to help you… unless of course you are buying a new computer or phone, but God forbid you want tech help.
They are all 12 years old and clearly can only text, not capable of face to face interactions.
Apple, find a better system for serving your loyal customers!

Tired.
This mall makes you absolutely tired.
Caters to the middle class. Similar to Cambridgeside Galleria but larger, nothing like the Chestnut Hill Mall which is loaded with luxury brands.
Target, DSW, Lord and Taylors, Nordstrom, North Face, a pet shop, jewelry stores… we didn’t even finish exploring by the time we left exhausted.
My man had a lot of fun dragging me to stores I’m not particularly interested in.
Tried my first Auntie Annies here.
Everything starts shutting down at 6pm on a Sunday.
Which is odd for urbanites like me. It’s still early, ‘yo!

With all the array of different shops here, it’s a okay mall to visit on a stormy day. It has a Nordstrom and a target, two department stores that I enjoy shopping at. There is also a candy stand who sells lottery. Just won $ 4! Then the shop owner tried to teach me how to play these other scratcher game. I have to repeat myself that malls in the east coast are nothing comparing to the west coast malls.

This mall is pretty decent for an east coast mall. I wasn’t that impressed the first time I came here but I keep coming back because it’s pretty close to Boston and has a decent selection of shops. Parking is very easy to find if you go on weekdays. It’s not a nice looking mall or anything but I’ll take what I can get in Massachusetts. It’s definitely not ghetto which is a plus. My biggest complaint is I’ve only been here in the winter and the mall is ridiculously hot. I shouldn’t be wearing a tank top in 30 degree weather.

Does what a mall should, convenient to get grocery shopping done at Target while being able to do my mall shopping too.

This place I’ve been standing in line for 20 minutes while employees are on there damn cell phones This is the WORST forever 21 I’ve ever been too never coming back again

A mall is a mall, but it’s what they offer that determines how great they are. South Shore Plaza offers a huge variety of stores – pretty much all the essential stores that a mall needs. It is pretty big compared to other malls, like Cambrdigeside Galleria and the Arsenal mall. Heck, those are not even comparable. Not even do they have great stores, they have a Dave and Busters in the area as well. What better way to end a shopping spree than go to the arcade?! It’s never-​ending fun around here. The only complaints about South Shore is that they don’t offer high-​end brands like the Natick Collection. Where are the Louis Vuitton and Burberry stores? And where is DavidsTea? I know the mall can only have so many stores due to the space, which is why I am not minus-​ing a star. But it would be great to have those stores out of convenience. Natick is a bit far from Quincy. Besides the shops and stores, they have a huge food court with other restaurants located at various corners of the mall, such as Chipotle, Joe’s American Grill, and The Cheesecake Factory!
Overall a great mall and definitely a place where I can get my Christmas shopping done. They have a huge parking lot too. Not to mention, there are other stores within a few miles of a drive away! Talk about convenience!

As far as Malls go, this place is quite nice.
Loads of stores, truly everything you could want.
I love that there is a Target in the mall, which makes it one stop shopping pretty much. especially for the holidays.
You can get your entire list taken care of. One of the things I really like is it is not boiling hot in here. A lot of Malls in Cold places are so hot inside that it makes it uncomfortable to shop, so it makes you want to cut your trip short.
Although it was really hot inside of certain spots in Macy’s. The Mall itself is a great temperature. Many choices for Food, fast food, and sit down restaurants.
Lots of great Anchor shops, although the Nordstrom is smaller than most. It is still a great one. It is an easy location to get to as well.

«EWW». This is my reaction to the terrible South Shore Plaza.
Yeah, fine, go if there’s an emergency. And a few stores here aren’t terrible. But otherwise, the mall (inside) is terrible. Parking situation is ridiculous, a useless working traffic light in the lot and a blinking light at a dangerous 4-​way stop intersection. Parking garage not designed in a useful way to get the most cars possible in.
Yes, they keep adding some good places to go, but still in no way does, or will the SSP ever, compare to the superlative Natick Mall. Definitely visit the Natick Mall or even Westgate (at least parking is ample there and the mall is never crowded). Won’t be returning to this mall any time soon.
See ya South Shore Plaza.
Hello Natick Mall!

Update to my review: there is tax, but not as much as SF! Great stores this mall is still HUGE! Target is here, Nordies, Macy’s, Apple… come here on weekdays if you can and you can get your shop on without the crowds.

Very nice mall, food court also good. Nice play area for kids, my 5years old daughter love this place.
Macy’s is costly here but alternate many clothing stores in this mall.
Sears is good and big too.
Target also here but not good at all.
During festivals this mall over crowded and getting parking is too difficult. Normal days and weekends are good not over crowded and get parking easily.
Anyway SSP mall is big and good (if you don’t plan for purchase just walk inside you will like it)… :)

K, so, just to give you a little back ground here, I’m an expert on the mall.
I’m from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, AKA the 818. The mall that my mom used to leave me at for hours on end is two miles from another mall which is a half mile from another mall… and there are plans to connect one of these malls (Topanga Plaza) to the mall a half mile away (the Promenade) and make a super mall.
More evidence that I like, totally know what’s up with the mall?
I’ve worked about 8,000 mall jobs. I did the kiosk thing. I did the boutique thing, and the big department store thing… and now I work in an office and miss moving boxes of perfume around all day.
Ce la vie.
I don’t go to malls very often anymore, probably because I buy everything on the internet, however, my South Shore Plaza experience reminded me that the brick-​and-​mortar mall is alive, well and worthwhile.
I did a big family Christmas for the second time in my life with my fiancé and his family, and was tasked with getting gifts under $ 20 for 9 adults and 2 kids, with 2 additional adults with no budget limitation and my fella to boot.
That’s a lot of stuff to google, so I figured we’d hit some shops in the days before Christmas and do some impulse shopping in the sale section to satisfy those without
wishlists.
South Shore Plaza is bada$$.
They’ve got what you need!
We started at Target, picking up basics and gift wrap and stuff I forgot to pack. We headed to Nordstrom for a soy latte, and a quick run through the cosmetics department, yielding a truly gorgeous Debrah Lippman nail polish set under budget that I would have loved to receive. Then we started going store by store to check people off the list, and somewhere around the Art of Shaving (LOVE that line) my fella gave out.
He’s from New Hampshire. They like the mall there, but not like we do in the 818. It’s the equivalent of being secular rather than orthodox, I think…
I left him on a bench and ran through H&M, Forever 21 and local fave, Vera Bradley, where the helpful sales staff hooked me up by directing me towards the deeply discounted patterns. There was a small amount of one-​for-​me-​one-​for-​you there, since we don’t have Vera on the West Coast, and then I circled back for my dude.
He was beat. Lucky for him, he’ll never have to worry about shopping for his large extended fam! Ha!
We headed back to our rental car to find we’d left the lights on, as we always do the first day in a rental. I popped back in and asked mall management to call security for me, they were really kind and had us on the road in no time flat.
Overall, six star shopping experience: they’ve got everything you need and everything you don’t! If I was a resident of the South Shore, I’d be in every few months, at least for Forever 21, but probably for a lot more than that.

Yes, I entered the confines of this hell hole again. This time I have video proof!
I hate being approached by the «middle of the mall» vendors. You know them. Those are those idiots approaching you when you’re walking through from store to store talking to the person you’re with, you know, in conversation. Then BAM. in your face, scaring the bejesus out of you. You know them… a thick accent, a smelly piece of cardboard with a supposed enticing fragrance that wreaks to high heaven, the pierre cardin clip belt, skinny with a cheesy smile and a «you know you want this» tone.
In this day and age with crazy people out there doing crazy stuff this guy scared me. I thought he was going to assault me. He actually did assault me with his approach and by instinct I almost battered him!
The mall management doesn’t seem to give a crap. I do. If I can find what I bought elsewhere. I am returning the items to the store I bought them from and telling them it’s because of the «middle of the mall» vendors.
