One of 3 Guys From Brooklyn's Favorite Reviews
As a California lad dreaming of the many benefits of what New York could offered I often dreamt of emporiums of every conceivable item (food, women, musical instruments, bongs etc etc) offering insane varietals of any and all types. This might have been based on my first visit to NYC in which I went to Zabars and Condomanium-it may have skewed my view of NYC a little.
And as I become a Brooklynite 3 Guys from Brooklyn give me a small glimpse of that vision.
Rows and rows of fruit and vegetables fresh and incredible prices. With so many varietys (eggplant alone I have counted 6 different on a given day) it has expanded my diet to include everything from sicilian eggplant, broccoli rabe, dandilions, oyster mushrooms and black radishes.
also has a nice dairy, olive, sundries, and bread sections
A great place to mix it up with your many neighbors Orthodox Jews, Spanish, Chinese, Itlaian, Greeek, Russian, Irish - everybody

This is by no means the produce emporium I was dreaming of. The prices are good, but no better than fairway and there is far less selection. Now, maybe it's not fair to compare any grocer to fairway, but so long as we've got them, they're my standard at least. Hmmph.
And there's very little to speak of beyond the produce here. I'm sure it's great if you live nearby but I would not recommend making a special trip.

I really don't know what other people are talking about, especially the guy from California. 3 Guys is certainly cheap, but the produce is 3rd rate, and it's not fresh. It's always overcrowded with pushy people. If you like getting shoved around, this is your place. Obviously I can't stand it.
Owf !! best place in the city for fruits and vegetables hands down !!!
Always an amazing variety of stuff, when you drive by this place you cant help but stop . Everything is consistently fresh and they are constantly adding new and seasonal produce . I would say impossible to find comparable quality for the price these guys sell for . Also fresh bread , olives , and a whole selection of dried fruits and nuts ...
I was also suprised to see such a diverse crowd of people happily picking there produce .. look for a crazy old man yelling unreconizable things out in front of the place ...
I don't like the grocery stores around here, because there's always like two yellow heads of brocolli and a bunch of mushy onions, and they call that a produce section. Enter 3 Guys from Brooklyn - tons of fresh produce, dirt (hah) cheap. Right on.
This place is very convienent because it is extremely close and it's open 24/7. It's extremely crowded in this place, it's dirty and the workers harass you and undress you with their eyes at every turn. I avoid this place for the better.

This is my favorite produce and fruit store. Prices are unbelivable nad everything is fresh. The best thing is, it's always open. Look out for produce that are in season. I had once purchased some sweet corns and they were 8 for $1.99.

This place is absolutely amazing. I go there continuously to shop for my produce and as always I have a great experience. Not only are the prices more than reasonable but I am always able to find exactly what I want. The foods are fresh and never a disappointment. I reccommend this place to anyone who wants to save tons of money on great food!!!!

Amazing selection, cheap produce, and fast service. Choose a time when it's not mobbed. It's open 24 hours, so take your pick. The produce should be used within a few days, but who cares? It's fresh and ready to eat.
I don't think the store packaged items are that great a deal, but you make up for it with everything else. It's a lot cleaner and more organized than Circus Fruits. It's worth the extra few blocks of walking.

Oh, 3 Guys what have I done all these years without you!!!
Imagine a 24hr produce/specialty market that is ridiculously reasonable, offers delivery and has a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, cheeses, breads, nuts and coffees. It does get very crowded, so best to go during an off time or just deal with the chaos.
They take credit cards too which I find as a major plus. They will not disappoint you and when I say "reasonably priced" I am not kidding. You will leave with five or six bags filled with stuff for about 30 to 40. How about 12 grapefruits for 1.99 or a pound of roasted coffee all for 5.99 per pound-so many flavors to choose from.
Come hungry and leave happy. Hey its good for you, shopping for fresh fruits and veggies.
I drove past this place once on my way to the BQE, it was 11pm and there was a good crowd standing around shopping.
A couple days later I saw a special on it on the news, NY1 or something. So I had to check it out.
I will never buy my produce any where else! I've never been disappointed in the choices here. All the nuts I can imagine :)
So happy that someone clued me in to this place. I dig their slogan, "The original poor peoples' friend" - it's spot on. The prices are insanely cheap. Even better, it's all stuff that's healthy. I filled up my cart for about $40. I was really impressed by the huge variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, including exotic ones that I'd never heard of. You can also get nice cheeses, olives, fresh baked bread, and dried fruit here. To avoid the crowds, try going during the afternoon on a weekday.

I'm in law school. I'm poor. I walked out of here with a HUGE bag of fruits, veggies, pudding, and olives for $6!!!! So yeah, I like it.
My favorite stuff is all inside. The olive bar, the dried fruits and dates and figs and such, all the nuts. Great variety of unusual stuff in there. Good farm yogurt sometimes, too.
I need to ask if anyone has seen this: an older, completely masculine fellow who crossdresses and mingles in the 3 Guys crowd. Anyone hep to this guy? Damndest thing. There he was -- cockeyed wig, makeup, skirt, sweater. He was totally not trying to 'pass' as female, just putting on women's clothes, steeling up his nerve, and shopping for melon at 3 Guys from Brooklyn. I assume he's well-known there because no one paid him any regard at all.
I must say I found blueberries cheaper yesterday at Steve's C-Town.

I'll admit, I come here... with my mom... and I push that broke ass mini carriage around and fill up my place for less than $40- sure it's filled with the elderly and immigrant housewives and annoying women who think that they can push you because they want to get next to the carrots (secret is, push them right back and give the 'fuck off' stare).
But it's damn cheap and they have everything under the sun. So this is why we put up with the swarms of people, the long ass lines, and pushy people because we could be standing in the same exact line at Whole Foods, but we just can't bring ourselves to spend triple the amount for the same exact thing.

3 Guys has been around for over 30 years. When you drive past this place you cant help but notice the swarms of people picking out their fresh fruit and vegetables and its all so cheap. You enter the store and theres many more vegetables to choose from along with many international and kosher foods. They even have an olive bar...my boyfriend LOVED this.
Spent $35 and came home with about 10 bags worth of groceries. Love this place!

Magical place, especially if you can avoid the after-work crowds. Extensive selection of fruits and veggies at prices that I haven't seen beaten even at the back alley Chinatown places. Inside they have a nice little selection of cheeses, dried fruits/nuts, and breads.
This place is just pure value and there's even some good people watching to boot. Take the N to Ft. Hamilton and see for yourself.
