Lunds & Byerlys

I have been living in Eagan for a while and I racked up enough visits to Byerlys to give a less than favorable experience. The store does have some stuff that I cannot find at Target or Cub. But their customer service is lacking. Bad attitudes are apparent at the deli, beer/​wine dept and at check out. Also a thing that occurs a lot is that we are getting double charged for items as we check out. This has happened multiple times for it to be an ‘accident’. Good thing is that Hyvee is coming to Lakeville and Eagan. I will be spending my cash there and at Kolwalskis. These places have excellent customer service and they carry everything that Byerlys has for a lower cost.

They never have advertised items on the shelves. This isn’t a 1 time thing it is constant.

We stoopped at this location to get my aunt some really nice candy for having us over; of course, this Lunds Byerlys carry Abdala, my favorite upscale chocolate company when visiting Minnesota. Innitially, we could not find the candy, but Wendy & another bakery clerk pointed us in the right direction. They have a wonderful floral department with a great selection. I had to try their house candy bars which are very small & sinfully rich. One was a chocolate covered bar with nuts & another had pecans; very delicious. The cashier & bagger were equally nice; this would be an equivilent of a local version of Whole Foods or Molly Stone’s or Piaza’s where I come from in the San Francisco bay area. So, for some groceries, baked goods, & other items with an upscale taste & experience, Luns Byerlys cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.

Great place to shop relax incredable bakery an one of the best places to go grocery shopping an the people who work there are super nice

Very clean– Check!
Food fresh– Check!
Employees happy and engaging– Check!
No rif raf couponers stocking up on hoarding materials– Double Check!
It might be the fact that there is carpeting on the floors versus the standard greasy, sloppy tiles or that there aren’t five year old scream factories begging for the latest mascot food. I absolutely enjoy coming to this place at any time of day.
I avoid the cheese section because of future heart attack concerns but, the woman who helped me last time could sell cheese to someone who was lactose intolerant.
All of the boars head meats are to die for, the sandwiches, and fun salads are perfect for lunch and snacks.
Groceries bagged for you and shipped to your car.
What a great place!

This place is great. They have a caribou coffee, a Chinese take out restaurant, a bank, dry cleaners and liquor dept! It’s a great place to shop and the cashiers are friendly and helpful. This store has things many stores don’t carry and it’s always nice to try new things. The bakery has a large variety of baked goods.

I live near this location so I go here probably once or twice every month due to the convenience factor.
The Big Bowl Express is a nice addition to this location, definitely get an extra star for that feature.
I’ve always found the checkout people at the food court register to be less than courteous at this location. They’re never rude, but it almost seems like they’d rather be doing anything other than ringing up your order.
It’s always busy from 4−7pm. Frantically so from 5 – 6, when all the people coming home from work stop here to pick up dinner.
I would recommend this location for these rather large cheese selection and their bakery area is a nice plus too.
Everything else, stick to Cub or Rainbow. Same quality, but Cub and Rainbow prices are better.

This is not your father’s supermarket. It is bright and HUGE carrying your typical foodstuffs but it goes beyond and more. We stopped here to pick up a sandwich for lunch which they make fresh and daily. Friendly service across multiple departments especially the bakery. There is sushi, chinese, salad bar with an area to sit in to eat if you wanted. When I revisit Minneapolis I will come back.

Dear Byerly’s,
I’m not a sushi aficionado. I’ve never felt the pleasure of sinking my teeth into an adult tuna moments after it’s been hoisted from the sea (seriously, how fucking fresh does it have to be?) and I probably possess the palate of a cultured amoeba when it comes to ‘authentic’ Japanese cuisine.
But, you know what? I love the little rice and seaweed wrapped rolls of glee you churn out, unashamedly. They’re extremely fresh, priced fairly and you always keep a large variety available to choose from.
You’re like a wizard. A wizard level nine.
Sincerely,
Cultured Amoeba
Seriously, though. They have 4.99 sushi Wednesdays (on select varieties) and the sushi chefs are always more than happy to greet you with a smile and make a roll fresh for you if you don’t see it out. This isn’t, at all, the typical grocery store sushi (the kind that just looking at makes your intestines quiver in terror) that a lot of people probably think about and hate.
Do not fear the grocery store location, young Padawan.
The Grand Finale, Snow Crab, Sriracha Party and Tempura Shrimp rolls are my favorites.
I’m also a touch obsessed with their salad bar; it really is true that not all of them are created equally (I’m looking at you, Rainbow… bleeccchh).
They have a variety of lettuces, tons of fresh vegetable toppings (mushrooms, sprouts, chives, red onions, peas, edamame… etc) and actual pulled chicken. Yes; –actual– chicken. Not those bullshit spongy little cubes of chicken waddles and assholes.
There are dried fruits, nuts, a myriad of cheeses, microgreens, fresh mixed herbs, wonton and tortilla strips, thick-​cut croutons… you get the idea. And as if all this weren’t enough, there are about a dozen different dressings and multiple sprinkle-​on additions like chia seeds and ground flax to give your (surely by now) 4,000 calorie salad a healthy boost. What the hell is NOT to love?
Without further ado, I’ll finally drag my ass to the actual grocery store portion of this grocery store review.
I typically shop here for specialty items due to the considerably higher prices on the basics. The layout is user friendly and the store is always immaculately clean; I’m pretty sure they shine and give every individual piece of fruit a nurturing hug before they put them on display.
They sell the harder to find stuff here – forbidden rice, cinnamon ice cream, vanilla rose sugar, Mayan chocolate bars, specialty cheeses – and I’ve found that their store brand is comparable to/​better than the actual name brands.
Helpful tips:
— Don’t come here expecting any amazing bargains because you’ll end up sadder than a blind gay man trapped in a fish market.
— Expect to run into the occasional entitled Eagan housewife that thinks her excrement smells like white chocolate, verbena and freshly squeezed kitten tears; it’s inevitable.
— Don’t fuck with the fruit arrangements. They’ll taze you, bro.
— Walk proud with your bloated, soon-​to-​pop-​its-​container wonton strip, croûton and dressing salad; you earned it, damn it.

They have excellent customer service. They’ll sharpen your knives for free. Can’t find meat in a small enough package? No problem, they’ll cut one in half for you. Can’t find an item? Tell a manager and they’ll write it in their little notebook and chances are you’ll find it on your next trip. Have a problem with an item? E-​mail them and they’ll go above and beyond to fix it. They have a huge variety of items, including many gourmet items. Their store brand is better than the name brands.
You can shop online and have your groceries ready for pick-​up for an extra $ 5, or have them delivered for an extra $ 10. It is WELL worth it!

I’m really digging this place!
I’ve been back numerous times for the salad bar or to get a quick couple of items on my lunch hour. Everytime, I encounter fantastic service and great food.
My new favorite place for treats is this Byerly’s! I picked up a German Chocolate Cupcake and Killer Brownie. This is possibly the best cupcake I’ve ever had. For the record, I’ve only been to one of the numerous cupcake shops around town, but the cake was moist and the frosting was fantastic.
I keep eyeing them up each time I go… and I’m not even a real sweets fanatic. Sign up for their email specials to see what’s on sale.

While I wouldn’t shop here regularly for groceries (they are a little to spendy for my budget), my mom and I stopped here on the way to the cemetery to pick up flowers to put at my daughter’s grave. On Thursdays, they have $ 5 bouquets. The stems are shorter than a lot of other bouquets, but they work alright for her vase at the cemetery. I was also actually impressed that their pumpkins were cheaper than the ones at Sam’s Club (though not as cheap as the ones at Rainbow Foods).

The set up, the choices, the customer service, all makes this grocery story a great choice. I went for their prepared foods section and they have Sushi, Chinese take out, Salad Bar, and a large variety of other prepared foods inside their glass case. I like this place.

Awesome selection when in Eagan shopping. We visit the deli & salad bar whenever there just isn’t time or we don’t want to take the time to cook or assemble all the salad fixings. Service is aways nice. Holidays are extra special, grand piano at the entrance. Just one way Byerlys makes the mundane special.

I enjoy shopping here. Very good quality meat and fish. Good fruit and vegetables as well as cheeses. Byerly’s has great specials like the 5 rotisserie chicken on Friday or 5 buck chuck roast on Saturdays.
The services is excellent and always willing to answer any questions.

Love this place! Friendly staff and my go to for food when I want really good quality stuff to serve when I have company.
I stopped in early this morning and got a load of gorgeous fruit and Naan bread with tabouli and hummus. Also scored a little box of Abdallah chocolates for my Dad when he comes over tomorrow to celebrate Father’s day. As a bonus I discovered the Byerlys brand marinade did not have corn syrup — which my mom is allergic too — so I will be able to grill without fear tomorrow.
I wish their prices were a little more in line with my wallet — as I would happily shop here all the time rather than on special occasions.
Bonus is the super friendly Caribou right inside the door.
Love you guys — keep up the great work!
