Dominick’s

Not surprised this location closed. Although the variety was great, I found prices to be a little on the high side.

I really like this grocery store. It’s super clean, well stocked, and most employees are sweet and/​or friendly. They are also close to my house as well as the Cumberland Blue Line stop (for the convenience factor).
They have a vast produce section, with a good selection of organic fruit and veggies. The bakery section is dangerous, so I try to stay away. (I did get a huge package of DELICIOUS chocolate chip cookies for a work event for $ 5 one day though). The meat counter is mediocre, but they do sell packaged grass-​fed organic beef and bison. There’s a really nice guy working in my favorite part of the store, the liquor section. He was very helpful in helping me select a good Canadian beer… Sidenote, Moosehead is yummy.
I haven’t encountered any huge lines or crowds yet, unlike the other grocery store I used to frequent *cough* Mariano’s in North Center *cough*. They also apparently have an underground garage for those who do not go out in sunlight, or for rainy or snowy days.

This is a great grocery store. Everyone is so friendly here. I was in town for a 2 week class for work and I ate lunch with here almost every weekday. They have a fabulous deli and salad bar. The sushi was also fabulous here!

I came to Dominick’s for lunch & not to shop for groceries. They offer a wide selection of food — pizza by the slice, cold or warm sandwiches, fried chicken, steak fries, salad bar, soup, etc. it also offers a place to eat (two levels). Very convenient.
Of course, it’s not Mariano’s.

It’s been a long time since my initial review and this Dominick’s has made some amazing strides in correcting the numerous things that went wrong.
— prices are competitive (downright awesome if you take the time to register for the Just-​for-​U savings)
— produce here is now always fresh and well stocked
— the organic section is now a real section that occasionally offers good deals
— lighting is fine
All in all, food here is great and if you find any issues, management is usually roaming the floors ready to assist. The staff are friendly and helpful. The *only* exception would be a couple of the snot-​nosed younger staffers that tends to carelessly chuck your food around. Not perfect but pretty close.
Side note: the Starbucks here actually makes a decent pour.

There’s a deep rooted hungry monster inside of me that wakes up right about two hours before every flight I take out of O’ Hare. I never seem to remember to eat during my pre-​flight list going through my head:
1. Wake up on time
2. Get the drivers license and/​or passport
3. Take the phone off the charger
4. Check out of the hotel room before 11 a.m.
5. Get the rental car back with a full tank of gas
6. Give the friend’s a hug and kiss my puppy goodbye
7. Bring back obligatory trinkets and souvenirs for co-​workers
8. Take one last look at the lake and breathe in that nasty fish water
9. Find a Redeye and/​or Sunday Tribune for the plane ride home
10. Leave enough space for a large bag of Garrett popcorn in my carry-​on
I never seem to think about that whole eating business while in a rush, especially when I’m home. Thankfully, when my stomach starts rumbling like an earthquake there’s a Dominick’s right off the I-​90. This particular Dominick’s has a lovely loft area that serves as a lunch/​sun room and garage parking. Who doesn’t love garage parking in the midst of all that snow? And if I could make a shrine from the junk food aisle, I would.
I appreciate the pre-​made sandwiches, cut up veggies, and hot soup ready to go. I’m in and out of the store in less than 10 minutes with easy to juggle snacks that I can eat in my lap on the way to the airport. Easy peasy!

I am ordinarily very anti-​Dominicks. In my experience their prices are way uncompetetive compared to Jewel, Ultra, and others. In this case I have to make an exception.
This dominicks in impeccably clean. The staff is great. The lunch options and seating are A+. I have no problem using this Dominick’s when in the old neighborhood — given its overall value.
PS Especially good during bad weather (underground parking)

I like Dominick’s but I feel like some things are way too expensive. I do love their baked goods, though, and I think it’s a great idea they have a made to order sushi bar.
I also like the Starbucks inside and the staff is friendly all around. I would recommend it for small things but not if you want to do your weekly grocery shopping. You could literally buy the same things [actually a little bit tastier] elsewhere.

Points lost for realizing I purchased an already expired Organic Lemonade from the farmstand area. They took it back when I brought it in, (how could they not — it was 2 weeks expired!) It was just the hassle of heading back there. Word to the wise– check all the expiration dates when you shop, I hear more and more stories about stores not keeping up with cycling inventory correctly.
This is one of the cleaner Dominick’s in the area. Great parking area and they always have spaces available.

Seriously great model to build on, Dominick’s! This is the closest grocery to my workplace in Rosemont. With a dearth of lunch places that offer non-​fried food, I hit up Dominick’s salad bar.
With a great selection of greens (spinach, romaine, iceberg), there is plenty to build your salad with. Sure, there’s no marinated tofu like at Whole Foods, but the vegetables are fresh and they were cleaning and restocking constantly. Price tag of a moderate salad with some heavy ingredients like boiled egg, $ 3.79!
I visited again today and got a nice hot italian turkey sandwich w/​avocado, paired it with a ¼ lb. of a specialty deli item like Quinoa with raspberries and you’ve got lunch for under $ 7! There’s a café with two levels of seating if you’d like to enjoy it in-​house.
This Dominick’s layout is nice, with wide aisles and great prices. Defnitely good for a stop for a few groceries on the way home. My only negative is the In/​Out parking lot. The Don’t Enter signs from the north and west make it difficult to enter. Needs a little more «civil» engineering!

This Dominick’s is clean, neat and well organized. The staff are friendly and helpful. And let’s face it, you can’t beat a grocery store that has garage parking — especially during inclement weather.
My biggest complaint about this store is that they fail to train their employees how to bag groceries. They should send their staff over to Trader Joe’s (or Whole Foods) to learn how to do it right. You do not put meat in the same bag as bread. You don’t stick eggs in a bag with canned goods. This seems like common sense, but apparently it’s not since I continue to have to correct them. (I don’t want to arrive home with broken eggs or bread with stuff from sirloin on it.)
My other comment would be to check the expiration dates! I’ve often picked up items that expire within a day (or two) or have already expired.
