Most of the fruit I purchased was great. However the watermelon strips from cool creations should have had a use by date of 5 days earlier. The store bakerys hamburger buns were very good. Good customer service.

I like this place for the location and the friendly people. Produce is usually very fresh. The meat dept lacks a counter. Which is how i buy meat. Theyd do have grazianos sausage. Better priced than hyvee usually.

Great grocery store. Good prices but the best part are the employees. Always upbeat and ready to help. They remember you if you are a regular which makes me feel at home there.

A grocery store like the others. I like there rewards program for me. I have used that store most of life, convenience and comfortable

Review №23

Depending on what you are shopping for, this store is ok. You do want to check expiration dates of frozen food as I have found a good many items that were expired up to a year. Prices are higher on a lot of items.

A great store

Decent deli sandwiches and great sales on occasion.

Review №26

Picked up the already cooked ribs which are usually very good. This rack was not very good, they were tough which I would guess is a result of trying to cook them too fast.

Review №33

The food and deli items are so so, a little higher priced than the quality you get. Other than that things are reasonably priced there, and the people who work there are very friendly. My biggest complaint is that I am older, and they dont have more than a couple of chairs set out for older people to wait for rides and taxis once theyre done shopping. The chairs they do have make you feel like youre in the way of people entering and leaving the store and you cant see outside the exit to see if your ride is here yet. They used to have chairs by the front window but they got rid of them a long time ago to make room for grocery carts. This is true of nearly every grocery store, but its one of the reasons I shop online and have to wait longer to get what I need and is one of the reasons I dont go very often to Price Chopper.

I never have a bad experience at price chopper. When I have a question about something they always get right back to me. Prices are good and I love the rewards program.

Wifey and I find different spices that the other stores may not have, like badia spices

Review №36

This grocery store is awful. It always has been. Its understaffed, understocked and overpriced. Fortunately, its currently going out of business. If youre looking for a surreal shopping experience in the next 4 days, or so, stop in, but youd be better served at literally any other grocery store.

Not a fan of the quality of meat they offer. Kids carts are filthy inside and out, during a pandemic of all times. Store design is nice.

I forgot my pop under the cart and returned to outside car return and by the time I came back it was sadly gone. I went inside and they called a man and he very kindly gave me another case.

The lady at the bakery was fun and energetic as much as I was picking out the details of the birthday cake. People were friendly. Not many people there so that was nice and conveniently parked in front, all tho I did go at 830am

The place is really organize and the customer service is good. The line is usually not too long because there are several cashiers open up to ring out groceries up.There’s a bank inside of the grocery store too. It also seem like you can purchase lottery tickets in here too. Let’s not forget about the florist in the store where you get to buy beautiful florals.The parking is huge, you will always get a parking slots with ease. Tip: always keep and eye on their sales. It’s usually a pretty good deal.

Review №47

All employees are wonderful for help and assistance. They have awesome sales and selection. I do wish the customer service was more expansive, but there is a credit union right in the store. It is open seven days a week. Across the street there is a gas station and quick trip store.

Review №48

This is the closest grocery store to us, and we definitely only come here because its so convenient. We would not choose this store otherwise. In the summer months there is almost always an individual or group set up outside to try and sell you something. Occasionally they are even inside the store during the colder months. The parking lot is terrible, and the cart returns are not placed well.

Review №49

I like the Price Chopper. The have good deals, and the store is usually not uncomfortably packed like a lot of other groceries in the area (especially on weekends).Staff is usually pretty friendly- although I feel like taking that next step into warm/welcoming would go a long way.The store just changed things up and expanded their dollar-general type of selection which i feel isnt the best call...Variety is totally average otherwise (dont expect too much more than your staples and brand name regulars) and the produce section has always been fairly decent as far as stock and product health (no wilting or sportiness)One thing I do really like is that a lot of times youll see some local stuff mixed in there on a wide variety of items from produce to pasta sauce to milk and whatnot- I like seeing (and trying) some of those random one-offs and if they were more advertised Id probably go out of my way to check them out more.

Review №51

Good selection, good prices for food items. The main issue I have is that some of the stocked items get too close to the expiration date. Now, I check the expiration dates every time, where at Safeway I never had to worry.

Review №53

Great place if you need to grab something quick lighting is way to dark for such a big store. I would prefer not to do my grocery shopping in a cave. Check dates when buying as well the stock is not rotated properly or often enough, resulting in big surprises when you get home.

Probably the overall most expensive grocery store in the area. They always have a cart full of groceries with comparison prices for other stores. I suspect it takes 6 accounts and an actuarial to find a combination that comes out lower.

Price choppers is good and friendly store but some of there cashiers are not customer friendly. They should ask if you have a price shopper card no matter what your race is even if its the same as the cashier. Other than I shop price chopper cause it is close to my house

Review №81

Store has been remodeled but it still feels dated. There is a good selection of just about everything and staff is always friendly. I have nothing against the staff itself but I do feel prices are quite high for all of these stores when their name is price chopper. Hyvee or Aldi is much cheaper.

Great brand selection. Friendly staff. Often times there are not enough lanes open to check out so wait time can be a bit long. Overall nice store.

The staff is always kind and helpful. The only reason for four instead of five stars is prices are a little high for me to shop there as much as I like.

Review №88

The store is organized pretty weird, but they have a good selection of stuff. I feel like back side of the store is missing some lights that just arent being replaced.The produce here is consistently better quality than other stores, and most of the time cheaper.They do have a small amount of vegan stuff like litelife sausage and a soy chorizo, and in the freezer section has a good amount of morning star and some gardein products. They non-dairy milks here are pretty effing expensive, and there isnt a single non-dairy coffee creamer here, or a non-dairy ice cream.Staff is hit or miss, just like any other grocery or retail store, but Ive never had bad service here. There is a guy (a manager I think) that is always an absolute delight though!

Review №89

If I could rate 0 stars I would. My 76 year old mom fell in this store. Broke her leg and had to have 2 surgeries and rehab. There were 2 guys standing there with their arms crossed (dont know if they were managers or not) and had this look on their face like hurry and get her out of here. Never once came to see if she was ok or anything. A lady from the pharmacy brought her an ice pack and called an ambulance but that was about as helpful as they were. I have emailed the corporate office. We will see if we hear from them. If not I will be telling anyone and everyone I can what a horrible experience we had there.

Worst customer service from the gas station ever I’m pretty sure her name was Carolyn and she was very rude had an attitude and how she talks to people sucks cause they are cheaper then Casey’s but from now on i guess that’s where I have to go.

Only deals here are sale prices. Checkers are genuinely friendly, but usually not enough checkers when there are sales going on. Meat department is average at best.
