Kroger

Worst Kroger ever! So this one in particular is over crowded and short staffed. There were children running all over the place. On top of this, a customer was drinking in the store (a medium size glass filled with what appeared to be beer) and he was inebriate. He then was involved in an altercation with management and was removed from the store. Stay away!

This Kroger met my specific needs on one trip so I can’t complain. While traveling, I forgot my contact lens case and I just tried this place on a whim and they had cases! Because I was on my way to a dinner party I texted the hostess (like I learned from Emily Post) and asked if there were any items she needed. She texted back and told me to bring a specific mozzarella cheese. I asked her if she had a picture of said cheese and she texted it back… at that point, phone in hand, I wandered the store looking for it.
It was not with the other Italian cheeses so finally I broke down and asked an employee. He showed me the small display on an endcap that held this specific cheese. With cheese and cases in hand, I proceeded to the self checkout and paid and left.
I would say if you’re looking for cheese and contact lens cases, this will meet your needs. Read other reviews for feedback on times when your grocery list is a bit broader.

This is the ghettoest Kroger ever. The produce is always bad, the store is dirty, the parking lot is always full of baskets and the cart people are usually just standing around on their phone, I can never find anything in stock here because everything is in the wrong position so that if they run out of something they just move something else over in its place instead of restocking the proper items, the cashiers are extremely rude especially Fatima, she didn’t say a single word to me my whole check out didn’t even tell me my total. just handed my receipt and moved on. I have lived in this area for 2 years and avoid this Kroger at all costs.

Starting to HATE this Krogers… Service has gone down hill, Cashiers have attitudes and are down right lazy. Not my job to do a price check if your system isn’t ringing something up right. I drop prescriptions off to the Pharmacy and some how it ends up in the «do not fill pile». WHY the hell would I drop a Rx off that I dont want filled, it doesn’t make sense. And why would you tell me it would be done in 30 minutes to an hour and then put it in some stupid pile. Secondly, upon the second attempt to pick up, I am told Insurance is down and I would have to pay full price and call back in 7 days… get the hell out of here… When she formed her mouth to tell me that crap did she really think I would be on board with that ish? No! Insurance wasn’t down when I first dropped my meds off, so NO I will not pay full price BECAUSE I have ins. Fix it and you call insurance. Ugh… So Sick of this Krogers and all their crap. Never any baskets and then all the damn doors are locked through out the day. Damn! get it together. Oh and I will be calling corporate.

Oh my goodness. I think maybe I came on a crazy off day. but on Saturday the store was PACKED. like I’ve never seen a store so packed. Check out lines were long and people were everywhere. All the checkers were working very hard to get the customers all rung up as fast as possible. They didn’t really have a lot of self check outs (as compared to the buffalo speedway location).it probably wouldn’t matter much though when I was there. I’m hoping this is not the usual way this Kroger is because it was just insane. So many people. Other than that, it was a typical Kroger experience.

The pros: convenient, has what I need, Kroger card, cheap gas prices, fairly clean, better than going to a walmart, has a redox outside, baked goods are really good, deli is good too.
The cons: can get a little ghetto at night. I’ve heard the employees talking crazy to each other and well, I just didn’t find it appropriate. One employee was complaining one night about how she didn’t have much help, and I mean I get it that work can sometimes be stressful, but don’t go around unleashing your problems at the customers! Also, their produce could use better merchandise.

The bathrooms were worse than a seedy truckstop. The while place felt dingy and run down. Prices were bad. Parking lot was bad. Lines were long. Why do people shop here? Masochism?

I hate this Kroger. I only come here for gas, or when I absolutely need something and the HEB is closed due to the May 2015 flood, and the Randalls has gone frightfully downhill. If you successfully navigate the lot snarled by traffic and riddled with loose carts and don’t get divebombed by the literally thousands of grackles that swarm this lot every evening, you’re greeted by a drab fluorescent and browns interior with the smallest, sorriest produce section I’ve ever seen in a supermarket of this size. Even the tiny HEB had better produce (and at much nicer prices).
Westbury/​Meyerland is a large residential (deed-​restricted) middle class neighborhood that deserves better than this!
My husband likes that they carry some interesting large-​format craft beers. Though they don’t know how to store them and the bottles often seem warm, they’re always mislabeled and they never know the prices at the register, so you can get some great deals!

Cheaper gas prices!

The quality of this store has deteriorated since Mr Kroger left. The shelves are not stocked like they used to be, the quality of the produce is not up to par and the store seems dirty and unkept. The parking lot is trashy and there are always tons of baskets outside rather than inside, where they belong. I’m really disappointed. I continue to shop here for the convenience of the location and to get my gas points, but have also been going to the Randall’s down the street more often than I used to. I am hopeful that Kroger will get a new management team to whip this store back into shape.

I love Kroger and only shop at Kroger. But this is one of the worst locations and it’s the closest to my house. I prefer the one on buffalo speedway but it’s a bit far unless I’m already in that area. The staff here is just not very helpful, they are not friendly especially the cashiers, the old manager was awful. I think he finally retired. Spoke to a new manager the other day. Hopefully he can clean this place up and improve the service. It’s still better than the Randall’s across the street but that’s not saying much. We really need better stores in our neighborhood

It’s crazy that I never knew about this particular Kroger. I have been living near here for about 6 years and have always been heading to the really ghetto kroger off cambridge, or the slightly better location off main, or when I’m feeling fancy the one off 59. But recently, on a trip to Best Buy and Target, I need to pick up groceries too from Kroger and found that there was one just down the street. I was skeptical, because this is near my most hated Wal-​Mart. But this Kroger is really nice!
It’s huge and has a lot of options in the fresh seafood and meats section.

I rather like this store. Kroger brand is good and taste great. I have never had to complain about this store. Way better than HEB.

My go to market and I always find want I’m looking for and I love the gas points, that’s a big plus for a store I already love shopping at.

I’m leery of their meat section because of all the rattling noises the fridges make, but overall is a decent store.

This is a decent neighborhood grocery store, though I’ve certainly experienced better and personally prefer to make the drive to HEB located at Buffalo Speedway/​Bissonnet when I’m not strapped for time.
The grocery store itself is open 24 hours, which is awesome if you need to shop during non-​standard hours, but I’ve never had the need to shop later than say, 8 p.m., so I can’t speak to how this location operates after dark (though I would imagine it sees a good amount of sketchy patrons since the neighborhood is in a bit of a transition period).
Produce is decent and fresh, but the shelf life isn’t terribly long. Most produce items should probably be consumed within about 5 – 7 days. This includes fruits like apples, oranges, lemons etc., which tend to have a longer shelf life than, say, berries and bananas. Produce prices are on the more expensive side here than at HEB and Trader Joe’s, though the selection is fairly large. The produce is priced about the same as Randall’s across the street, but it just depends what is on sale at the time.
They have a good natural foods selection, albeit small, but I like that these items have their own area so you can locate them all in one place. The wine and beer selection is decent too. I think the wine selection is better than Randall’s, but Randall’s has the better beer selection. Neither the beer or wine section is as good as HEB’s, and I don’t believe either store offers samples like HEB and TJ’s.
The meats/​poultry/​fish selection is alright, though their filet mignon selection is lacking. All they seem to offer in that category are the small bacon-​wrapped filets ($ 5 each or sometimes on sale 2 for $ 7) or the very expensive Nolan Ryan beef filets (also small and around $ 20 – 30). There’s really nothing in the $ 10 – 20 range. In my opinion, Trader Joe’s has the best filet mignon selection around. HEB does carry some, but mostly expensive grass-​fed varieties. I recently asked the butcher at Randall’s if they carried filet mignon, and he actually laughed at my question. Not sure why they are so difficult to come by around here…
The fish selection is pretty good, and that’s where I spend a lot of money here. Again, not as good as HEB or TJ’s but definitely better than Randall’s. Rainbow trout and the red snapper are among my favorites, and occasionally they will have a good deal on large gulf shrimp. The tuna steaks are decent but are not ahi tuna, and I think the frozen vacuum-​sealed tuna steaks are probably a better value. You can always find plenty of local catfish, and occasionally cod. Alaskan salmon is okay too, but not the best, and I’d skip it here if you can.
No matter what time I come here (any time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.), the store is completely packed! I can’t say the same for the aforementioned Randall’s, so I guess Kroger is doing something right in comparison. However, management could hire a couple more cashiers and baggers, as the lines are always long and there are always plenty of unused registers.

I have now made this my main grocery store. I can always find what I need & I love their All Natural Food selection area. The produce department are fresh & reasonably priced. The store is always clean & it’s very easy to find help or service. Checking out is always quick. I have not had the disappointing opportunity to wait in terribly long lines like you would at Walmart.
I love their bakery department. For functions if we are not using a specific cake place, we get our cakes from this location. The cakes are always good, moist, & decorated to our liking.

I’ve been shopping here for over a decade now. The selection and prices are pretty good. They usually have enough checkers that people aren’t left waiting too long. The store is large, clean, and in good condition.
They changed the layout a while back, and I know people say that you get used to those changes after an initial annoyance, but it’s been years, and I still can’t figure out where things are. They also do annoying things like block off the front path while also locking a door (in the off hours), making it hard to get in and out decently, and I don’t know why their outside security guards aren’t stopping people from dropping off passengers in the drive lane… when it’s busy, traffic can back up into the intersection because of idiots either dropping people off or waiting for like two dozen pedestrians… I know you have to yield to them, but at some point, you have to grow a pair and pull forward on them. XD (Seriously, you know what I mean. I don’t mean run people down. But don’t leave everyone stopped for ages and backed up, either.)

Came here on Easter. Terrible idea, but felt like cooking at the last minute. Walked in and was met with the overpowering stench of fish. Not to pleasant. I called and asked if they had any spiral hams left, the man said yeah we only a couple left, so I run up there to find over 20 of them. I had no idea a couple was 20. I’m just going to assume its all to blame on the easter craze, but the stench of that place will keep me from not going back unless I have to.

While feeling a bagel crave, it was suggested that this is a spot on place to get some good authentic bagels. As far as the bagels, my tummy is very pleased. However, for the other groceries I wanted to grab while I was there, I was unable to because the selection just wasn’t there.
This location has a kosher bakery and a good variety of kosher foods. The bagels I purchased were fresh and met the requirements of what makes a good bagel: crisp outside with a soft yet firm chewy inside. The cinnamon raisin bagel is a standout with golden raisins and the subtlety of cinnamon in each bite. I enjoyed the plain, also. The bakery hamburger buns are also a winner.
We had to do a bit of searching for the cream cheese. The brand I use is not located with the other brands of cream cheese. We did locate my preferred brand but sizes (ounces) selections were limited. It seems organics are not in high demand here and therefore not sold in the obvious places or in great variety.
The store as a whole is clean with a friendly staff and manager. Everything I saw was up to current date freshness. Prices are reasonable here and I saw nothing overpriced.
I’d come here again for the bakery and bagels. I just wish they had a bigger variety of some of the other foods I like. That’s just my own take on it and doesn’t detract from the fact that this store had what I needed and filled my bagel need. Definite win there!
