This Kroger is usually pretty well stocked, but you can tell that this location is in some need of some updates. As most Kroger’s are, the deals here are always good. The Starbucks is also convenient. A few negatives to this location: Cleanliness, for example it’s rare to go into this Kroger and something not smell odd/bad, and it’s a common occurrence to see food spilt in some isles, or just swept under the shelves. Wait times, if you come here during the weekend, it’s not out of the question to wait a solid 30 minutes in line.

Everyone is always welcoming and pleasant. The Sushi Bar is delicious. Sushi Chefs make fresh Sushi every morning and are always very gracious and welcoming. The olive bar is now smaller due to the pandemic but delicious and clean.The Banana Nut Muffins are so delicious I drive out of my way to go here.They also sell Grippos.The entire store is always very clean and all the fruit and veggies fresh.Thank you.

I have been a loyal Kroger customer my entire life, but lately the Stroop Road store is sadly following the trend of reducing the number of cashiers and replacing them with Self Checkout lanes. If I wanted to do the work for them, there is a Wal*Mart that is much closer to my house. Why should I go out of my way for Kroger, if Kroger isnt going out of their way for me?

Large natural/organic section, and organics mixed in elsewhere in the store. Interesting products not found at other nearby grocery stores. Nice pick 6 craft beer selection with some beers also not at nearby stores or bottle shops. Small but respectable international aisle. Good deli, cheese shop. Olive bar, hot and cold food bars. Many prices are competitive, some arent, if youre a multi-store shopper like me. Noticed a number of OOS items, or items that showed in stock in the app but werent. Fresh veggie section is small, decent. Very busy in the early evening. Late night weekends are fairly quiet. Side note: Really nice app with shopping list, product locations, coupons, and ability to send instant feedback on missing products.

Who goes on break at 6:30pm in the deli and has no one to cover it??!! Absolutely ridiculous that i had to wait 20 minutes for someone to get back from break when the only thing i was getting was from the deli!! Meanwhile a manager is just standing around!! Never again at this Kroger!! Terrible Terrible customer service!!!!

I’ve finally found a Kroger near me that has all of the items I need. I came in here yesterday and the cashier, unfortunately I forgot her name, and the bagger, I think her name was Brooke, were super kind and quick to get me checked out. This Kroger can get crowded a lot but it’s worth it.

This store has an amazing selection of fresh produce, a wide range of alternative options, and the sushi is actually the best store bought ive ever had.

All I got to say this store is the best one that I have been to, I shop there pretty frequently. I know 2 great friends of mine work there and they always tell me to come in for a visit. I know a friend of my sister works there too. I can easily get to this place on the RTA bus or I can just walk there myself. I highly recommend going to this place to get groceries.

After being verbally assaulted by an enraged customer after accidentally bumping them I was left shaking uncontrollably and in tears with a huge cart full of groceries trying to check out with 2 crying children age 1 and 3. Five or more Kroger employees came to my aid immediately and one asked if I was ok to which I said no being so overwhelmed so they checked out my groceries for me while I got my children calmed down and made faces at the kids to get them to laugh. Then they loaded up my groceries in the car and even a stranger joined in to help! So greatful to them for going above and beyond!! Thank you for being so kind!!

This typical. I dont understand how you run at anything when youre a supplier. Especially these days when you have a computer that does it all for you. When you get low youre notified and you order more. Thats not how it works here. Note my first quote. This has not been a one-time deal. 7 out of 10 times that I shot here they are out of the things that I need. And I notice the things that I dont buy but other people do for some reason they run out.

Its a Kroger... a corporate store so what can I say.I like this one in particular because its a manageable size. I never understood the point of marketplace Krogers.I dont buy much stuff so I really only shop here for some produce. They do an okay job.

I want to say Thank You to Angie, the morning cashier. The meat department did not have Ground Chuck out yet at 9:00 am, and I was going to settle for Ground Beef. When I said that I wish Ground Chuck was out, she personally went back to that Department and had my Ground Chuck order filled. Thank You Angie for your Service this morning!! Much Appreciated!

Review №23

This is a marketplace Kroger, so they have all the restaurant-like experience available with the sushi place and whatnot. Its not a huge location, so for as much as they have being a marketplace store, it is a little cramped and the number of checkout lanes is less than you would find at other marketplace Krogers in the area. But overall, a nice store as is typical with marketplace stores. And of course, Kroger has all the good coupons and deals and savings and quality selection of food.

Fresh Fare is Krogers Market that specializes in FRESH items, like PRODUCE, BAKERY, DELI & FLORAL. They do have a wonderful selection of produce, including organic. It is well stocked, despite being a very busy store. Workers are pleasant and do a great job. Lines are short considering the number of customers in & out. I am disabled and find staff very helpful. They load my car for me and refuse to take a tip! This is the Kroger of choice for my household.

I wish this Kroger was bigger. It’s always clean and organized but it can get crowded quickly. Most customers wear a face mask all employees do. Just wear one. I use a bandana. The first time I did psychologically it felt strange but I got over that. Our county has an extremely low case per population rate and I plan to keep it that way.

Ive always enjoyed shopping at this store. Nice atmosphere, clean, friendly employees. But since its been under new management they have started playing this HORRIBLE smooth jazz music. It makes everything seem tacky and cheap. Go back to the classical music guys, it was way better!

Barbara, the lady at the register closest to the self-checkout machines, was INCREDIBLY rude to her fellow coworker, the young girl bagging her lane. Such shocking unprofessional behavior. It made my experience shopping at this Kroger incredibly awkward even though I otherwise enjoy this location.

Great place to shop, but be sure and have the time if you go to the store on Stroop Rd. Always busy, isles are narrow so you are always waiting for someone to move.The people working there are friendly, and always ready to help me. I love their deli, and meat section.

Review №32

I have shopped here for the last time today. Things here frequently do not scan the advertised price. Went through self scan today and 2 items did not scan right resulting in someone having to go check price and causing extra time. This has happened to me a lot with the buy 5 save 5 sale. Cashier on self scan was rude and argumentative I will shop elsewhere from now on

Review №33

Good selection of fresh produce. Kinda bummed that they took down the natural foods section. I go there less now because of that. The more unknown produce is usually mostly rotted. Like most places, you have to comparison shop to get a good price.

This place is nearly always busy and so if you do need help finding things it is hard to grab an associate for assistance. It is a very large store and has a large fresh section including many baked goods and even sushi. I go pretty often, would recommend.

Review №37

The remodel/reorg is pretty much finished so starting to be able to find stuff again finally. Taking all the health/organic products and main streaming them with the traditional products has made for a lot more walking through the store. Tonight they didnt have organic lemons which I normally buy.Im starting to understand the electronic coupons. Now I just need to figure out how the shopping list works.

Review №38

Always friendly and helpful employees.Edit. Taking it down to 4 stars after this morning. I like running in here in the morning for a quick salad and I hate that they now are one of those stores that force you to self check out. I like my check out lady. She is always pleasant and most importantly fast. This morning they had no one at registers and made me check out which slowed me down since I had to do item look up and all that. Not the morning for it. I need efficiency in the morning not me bumbling around and I like the nice pleasant employees who cheer your morning up. I didnt ask to be an employee myself. I have a job. I sucked at it and it took me way too long.

Watch out! This place can get pretty busy on the weekends.But it’s worth it because you can find everything you need - fresh produce, bulk items, organic meats, frozen items and tempting baked goods!I always like to use the self check out especially here. There are these Young kids who work these registers and I swear they magically appear the moment you press the “call help” button. And instead of acting like annoyed teenagers, they are quite friendly!

Smallish Kroger with more specialty items than larger stores. Great produce dept, deli, specialty cheese, wine. Usually lines arent too long. No pharmacy because there is a CVS next door. Wish there was a 5/3 bank or at least an ATM inside.

This particular Fresh Fare store, appears to be well stocked,clean, and perhaps more importantly, very well managed. The staff is very friendly, and willing to help you find whatever it might be, that brought you in that particular day; and I dont know about you, but to me, a friendly smile and a warm attitude, helps my time go better.

Review №56

I was in and out quick at the self check but the cashier was rude there when i walked up to do my transaction the little jeffer got snippy with me. One of the worst experiences there. Another experience i had was when i went up at 10:30 pm half the lights were off. If the business is open lights need to be on. Also the 3rd shift stock wants to place pallet stocks directly in front of product thus making it difficult getting to what you need.

This place has a fun wine tasting on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Jill and Stephanie really make the wine tastings enjoyable and fun. There is a great bunch of people that attend the wine tastings, they are always a good time. I had to laugh about the one comment here that says Kroger has terrible customer service. That has not been my experience with Kroger. The Kroger store personnel and management have always been top notch. If I had to say one bad thing about this store, its that the parking lot is kind of a disaster area. There really isnt anything that can be done about it, its a small lot and this is a popular store, so its always very congested. Just be extra careful driving in this lot.

Worst Kroger in town. Out of everything I want. Horrible parking lot. Get run over just to walk in the store. Crampy inside with very narrow aisles. Run down and dirty. Cold as ice. Cold, dark, dreary and crampy. Then you wait all day to check out.Id rather go to the ones in town and risk being shot to death than deal with all of this. Wayne Ave. here I come.

Review №72

Convenience is the only reason to come here. I have bought rotten cheese here three times. The people (NOT butchers) at the meat counter do not know a thing about meat. The older woman who works there seems to find more time to chit chat than to do anything. The place is always out of stock - and they are usually stocking at the worst/busiest of times. The stock carts fill aisles. The fruit/veggie section is just appalling, with food that is not only overpriced, but looks like it has been sitting for WEEKS! The bakery tends to overbake EVERYTHING. NO quality control whatsoever!I now go to Kroger in Centerville - WAY out of my way - for all Kroger purchases!

The store is fine, the customer service though out the store is OK, The checkout is iffy...but those folks gets the biggest thrust of the shopping experience. I have issues with the baggers..they are usually kids, So I get that...I just re-bag things ..BUT THE BIG PROBLEM IN THIS STORE IS PARKING!!! I only go to this store when I have to get prescriptions at CVS next door. I go to the store on Dorothy Lane other times. The parking is AWFUL !! tight, both side to side as well as the space between lanes. I have seen 2 wrecks myself. ..there are not enough spaces or room. There is a couple of parking relief opportunitys, but I am not sure if that is up.to management. But it should be looked into. .Parking lot? Crazy cra
