Kroger

This is one of the few grocery stores I have encountered here in Texas where I feel like selection is often low or not in stock and it’s half the grocery store it should be in size.
During their MEGA sales your sure to encounter items that will be completely out of stock for the the full two weeks that most of their big promotions run for. My only advice is ask for a rain check at customer service it will save you frustration, & constant sadness of checking back twice, thrice…
I’ve had issues with use of newspaper distributed coupons here, was told since it didn’t scan there was nothing they could do. The security guard that wanders around and often is in the way is slightly discomforting.
On a positive note, I love to grab their tomato, pesto, mozzarella sandwich for lunch. That oily pesto spread is delicious. And your sure to find a seat upstairs if not eating on the run.

Welcome to the gayborhood Kroger. I was culturally shocked with a different shopping experience than other Kroger stores. At first, everything was not to my level of standard until I began to shop here more often.
I love Kroger not because of the rewards points, but the freshness of fruits and vegetables. However, my first visit was very memorable. I noticed the stocking person was busy on his cell phone yapping. Then, he was talking to himself around the corner while working on fruits. I looked at him, he stopped talking. I looked away, talking resumed.
At seafood dept, I saw the clerk packed up before 6. He said they were shorthanded. His manager told him to close early. (Oh, BTW, they’re always hiring.)
At the checkout, I noticed the counter really need to update. I expect to see a fancy store when I see a modern store sign. Then, my bag was packed wrong. My finger got smashed as I put the grocery in my trunk. Because 2 cans of beans and a lettuce were on top of lobster tails and bananas.
I stopped shopping there during the day. I like the night crew better. They are friendlier and healthful. I always find great prices on fruit juices and clearance fruits at Saturday nights. It’s my must-​go place to unwind after clubbing.

I am rush decision to stop at Kroger over H.E.B. this morning to get some pastry. I am not a big fan of Kroger but I was already on Montrose and I figured it would be quicker than dealing with the traffic, parking lot, and crowd at H.E.B. I think I learned my lesson that quicker is not always better. I wanted a blueberry muffin and was thinking of a getting a ⁴⁄₆ pack to share with coworkers. The blueberry muffins available were the big gourmet muffins that are packed and topped with lots and lots of sugar. And there were only 2 in the case. As I was walking to the register I saw the Mexican sweet breads so I picked up a container of 4 pumpkin empanadas (It is pumpkin season after all!). I get to the express registers and there was one older woman, I smiled and said «Good Morning!» She never smiled and spoke only to tell me the total. I stayed cheerful and even walked away wishing her a nice day. I get to work excited to eat my pumpkin treat and I bite into a pineapple filled pastry. Good thing I am not allergic to pineapple! I get mistakes happen but I was really looking forward to the pumpkin empanada!

Ghetto as ****. Reminds me of when I lived on 1960 and 45, but over there they had better customer service. The only reason it gets two stars is because it’s close.

It’s 24 hours and it has some pretty decent weekly deals! It’s very convenient to home and the food is usually fresh. Not worth driving to if you don’t live close, but if you DO, it’s a godsend.
I recommend checking the back for meat deals and bakery deals. Also they have good amounts of Carbmaster and low-​carb options, which I really appreciate.

I don’t think this should be said about any grocery store, but I’ll say it anyway… I love this Kroger. For starters, it’s open ²⁴⁄₇
We usually always do our groceries here. I’d say Wednesday’s are the best here– they tend to have a good number of items on your list at a discounted price.
Yea, the lines can be long at times, but then again you’re part of the line as well so there’s no point in complaining.
They have a good selection of sushi made daily, oven roasted chicken, and an assortment of cheese & olives. Craft beer selection is pretty good too: they’ve got all your Texan brands.
In all, come here if you don’t suck: if you do suck, maybe you should have your groceries delivered.

Let’s face it… a mutual place to meet people from Craigslist. Small grocery store but lots of people. Safe right?
Okay. I thought this was a halfway point between the person and myself, so I thought… Why not? Got here early to check out the grocery store. Maybe go down some isles a few times.
There is an upstairs lounge for customers to utilize. To my surprise, there were actually quite a few people here eating, on their laptops, and some workers chin chillin. Hmmm who knew. Obviously I didn’t. And I thought, wow perfect place to meet this mystery Craigslist person, whom I’m about to purchase a scanner from. Hot diggity.
Store in general is pretty small. But it’s clean. Some of the isles are hard to get through, even with a cart. Thank goodness I’m not fat.
The location is weird. Why must they place a grocery store on a busy intersection and street? Makes no sense. Parking is pretty small too.
Anyways, not a bad grocery store.

My favorite neighborhood store thats 24 hours. Good deals and normally great service. Unfortunately if you take advantage of their late hours, prepare yourself for a lengthy stand in the checkout line. Never have I been after ten pm and seen more than one cashier, with at minimum 6 – 10 people in the line.

First time going to this Kroger! Have to say hands down by far the best Kroger ever! Best customer service and cashiers are so friendly and the employees are quick to help you find what you are looking for! Anddddd they are coupon friendly which is a super plus for me! Keep up the good work love this store and so worth the 30 minute drive!

There is plenty of parking, and I always have a quiet shopping experience (no children running or screaming to the top of their lungs). Fred in the produce department is extremely nice and knowledgable regarding produce. He even went the extra mile to show me the new green produce bags, which are larger in size to accommodate leafy greens. Store is always clean, organized and I am always greeted by the manager on duty. I prefer this location even though it’s smaller, because sale items are always stocked unlike the Gray location, which is understandable. The Gray location is more popular and with that comes the low stocked shelves which is the reason I began shopping at the Montrose location. Especially during mega event sales.
What other grocery chain besides Randalls give you .10 off a gallon for every 100 point accumulated when you use your loyalty card at the gas station?

I live in the area and have gone to this Kroger, during the day, on several occasions… which tends to be fine. But, at night it’s a different story, I have found on more than a few occasions that the regular night time cashiers seem to be generally more interested in talking loudly about thier lives, beliefs and complaining about having to do double shifts than helping you check out. If you need something in the evening and are not looking to listen to someone try to make you a captive victem of having to listen to their personal drama, then try HEB.

Went in a hurry late on the night of Jan 2, 2015 to buy Infant Motrin. I bought it and stepped out to return home. Once I got there I noticed the medicine expired ¹²⁄₂₀₁₄. I get that you’d leave bread put a few days, but your pharmacy should be on top of these things.

I have lived in the area for over a year and have always gone to HEB. Last week, I finally though, why not Kroger? I’m glad I dropped in.
For one thing, you can buy normal, human-​sized apples (verses the ones as large as a grapefruit at other grocery stores). The workers were incredibly helpful and friendly. The customers are equally as friendly (not stuck up, paleo-​only folks who never put the line divider at the checkout line). And, possibly the biggest plus of all, they have parking on the weekend!
This Kroger will probably become my usual and customary from now on. I love it! I’m a fan!

Fairly small Kroger, with a slightly awkward layout… outside of spending $ 100 on what seemed like a $ 50 transaction I really don’t have any complaints… wait I was wrong, Kroger you really need to ensure that your scanned price matches your advertised price… I so don’t appreciate getting home to realize you overcharged me by $ 3 on one item and $ 2 on another… please make sure your system is updated, no one has time to return to the store for a price adjustment

I was on my way to HEB when I thought «Hey, why not Kroger?» Boy am I glad I stopped here! A man named Russell (who may be a manager) was extremely helpful in assisting me in creating a fruit basket as a thank you for a coworker. Initially, I was searching for a plastic bowl to throw a few pieces of fruit into and I was upset that this smaller Kroger didn’t carry dishes. Russell walked with me throughout the store to find a wicker basket and pick out an assortment of fruits. Also, the girl who wrapped my basket was very nice as well! I’ve never had such service at any Kroger in Columbus or Houston in the last 8 years. I was very impressed! Although I do not live near this Kroger, I work close by and will stop here again.

I have to admit, I took my sweet time before checking out what I gather is known as the Disco Kroger. I am, generally speaking, not a fan of grocery stores that require you to carry scancards around to get their sale prices, and on that basis I assumed — falsely, as it turns out — that Kroger would be similar to Randalls, one of the most consistently overpriced non-​specialty grocery store chains I’ve seen to date.
Finally, one evening I just needed a couple of things, and Kroger is significantly closer to my place than the Montrose H-​E-​B I usually frequent, so I popped in. Surprise, surprise! The store’s on the small side, but I could definitely tell it’d had a fairly recent makeover. And the prices, to my shock, were not only roughly comparable in most cases to H-E-B’s, they’re actually *cheaper* in some cases!
I also have to give props to both the pharmacy and service folks in general. Unlike a certain chain drugstore across the street, they don’t require 90 minutes to fill a prescription — they’ve filled mine before in under 10 — and the cashiers are, shock of shocks, *friendly*! (and not faux-​friendly, as the cashiers at, say, Walmart and Target are instructed to act) I’ve also come around to the whole Kroger card thing, particularly after I figured out you could save 10 cents a gallon on gas with it (though admittedly this store doesn’t sell gas). I am strangely anal when it comes to finding the absolute cheapest gas prices, so Kroger *totally* won me over on that one.
I’m deducting one star partly because of its comparatively small size, including the small parking lot, and related smaller selection of items in contrast with H-​E-​B in particular. It’s also partly because they inexplicably charge a HUGE markup vs. H-​E-​B on some of my staples, plus they’re one of the few stores I’ve encountered where if a sign says «4 for $ 5,» you actually have to buy *four* of the item in question to get the sale price. Other than those slight demerits, Kroger’s totally my (reusable recycled-​plastic) bag.

Ok, so this Kroger is only way to work after I leave my morning coffee ritual at Inversion. It is not the greatest Kroger, but I guess it’s cute. The layout is a little strange in my opinion. It does look nicer than it did some years ago.
The problem I have is the lack of cashiers in the morning, I see one express and sometimes another regular cashier. The express cashier is not really all that friendly; she kinda has that forced look on her face. Either she hates her job or just wishes she wasn’t up that early in the morning working. She hardly ever greets me, never smiles an forces out a ‘have a nice day’. Not a good way to start out my day. I wish they had self check out because it would be better, and things would move quicker because every time I have stopped in the morning there are lots of people waiting in line,
Again not my fave Kroger, but convenient sometimes.

I was always a regular at the west gray Kroger, until recently. Something made me swing into this location, and it ends up being closer to my house anyways. I was seriously impressed! I feel the selection is just as good as the West Gray location, with better people watching (seriously). I feel like it isn’t as busy, parking is usually really simple, and after the remodel the store is really nice! I am super impressed.
There is only one item they don’t stock that I have to go to Whole Foods for. Not bad!

This is a bizarre thing to say but I love coming to this location for «grocery store sushi»
The quality is comparable to Whole Foods but with larger portions :). (HEB quality isn’t as high)

If I haven’t said it yet, this apparent face-​lift worked! Kroger had a face lift about a year or two ago. And, for a while, I avoided this Kroger (even though it’s one of the closest grocery stores to my residence) because it was so damn stressful to walk through it’s aisles, see the scaffolding and try to remember where everything was or was moved to! The dust, literally, has settled. It’s prettier on the outside and the inside, for some reason, feels cramped. Also, there are no self-​checkout stations! I enjoy those when I look and feel like what the old Kroger looked like, but now, I get to be forced to have face to face interaction with a clerk. Don’t get me wrong, they’re usually pretty nice, but sometimes I just want to buy my staples and go home. Enough of this griping. It has its usefulness.
Also, due to its tiny parking lot, I don’t recommend going to this Kroger between 4 and 6pm. I’ve made that mistake once.
