Their floral department is amazing! Kennedy really knows how to arrange flowers in the most beautiful way. Ask for her if you need expert help in floral!

This Jewel-Osco is pretty good. Its a Marketplace which I think is their smaller downtown version concept. If you know what you need and know what they carry, they usually have things stocked well. I appreciate that they carry European butter. The produce section is good. Every once in a while you can get a sale on candles and other home decor. The staff at the self checkout is usually friendly and they have a lot of self checkout registers so the lines move fast.

Pro- Nice to have a small store downtown.Con- Ask yourself do you need help finding anything? If you dont already know the stores layout, the employees will just tell you to ask someone else.Pro-There is a deli with prepared food in the front with a currency exchange.Not for me, but you might just want something from the deli or currency exchange:-)

This has to be the worst Jewel in the entire Chicago area. Before you enter you are accosted by the bums wanting money that hangout in front of the store (they try to get you on the way out too). Once you enter the store you realize they have nothing that you actually need. If you are some overgrown frat boy, don’t worry they have plenty of beer, hot dogs and Doritos. However, if you are are normal person looking buy groceries for the week you will not be able to find half of what you need. This store is basically an oversized 7-11, they don’t carry a lot of items, other items are ALWAYS sold out, or (as in the case of the meat dept) if it is in stock…it’s definitely not something that looks fresh or even edible. Then there are the employees. I’m well aware that Jewel only hires the dim and dullest, but this store takes it to a new level. Against my better judgment I ran in to pick up a few things, when I asked one person where I could find sugar cubes he said I don’t know and walked way, the second person (who seemed highly annoyed that I was asking him a question) said find someone else he is done for the day. Not only are they incompetent they are also condescending and rude. This store is only a few blocks from my home yet I would rather sit in traffic to drive to the store on Clybourn then deal with this nightmare.

Its a grocery store in the middle of downtown Chicago. I think the prices are reasonable and the selection is good for its size (medium sized grocery).The deli counter is great. Employees are nice, and the energy is positive. Definitely swing in and grab some provisions!

Unless youre in a hotel or live on top of the place I dont suggest it. There are far better jewel locations nearby that have more selection and less headache.

Very disappointed in my most recent experience at this location! Came in at 6pm after work hoping to get some fresh chicken after noticing the few pieces left did not look fresh. I asked the lady behind the counter if she would drop fresh chicken and she rudely told me no. I went to the guest services desk and the manager Nicole was no help either she referred me to Chris which is also a manger he also brushed me off and didn’t try to solve the issue. This location really needs to work on there customer service and management team because there was no leadership at all. I will not be returning back to this location.

Such rude employees this morning, the young man wiping down the turnstile door and wouldn’t move out of the way or say anything as I was trying to leave through those same doors as I came; like why are you wiping down doors when there’s a high volume of customers in the am moving about? No one is forcing you to work there

Smaller store and fewer stocked merchandise and lesser variety then other Jewels. I went two the store the lasts two times and there was no Strawberry Breakfast Smoothie. The checkout process was always fasts and the cashiers were always pretty pleasant. You seeking a quick run, this is probably the place but for more extensive shopping go to another location.

I saw something horrific recently. The manager on duty was basically harassing her staff. The scene she made was not explosive but it was loud enough for me to hear a couple feet away. As a customer it does not make me feel good shopping somewhere where I know the workers are being treated in such manner.

Review β„–33

This location quite literally has the WORST customer service of any grocery store: from the meat department, deli, and cashier; you can expect to be treated like trash.The cleanliness is the exact same. As is their selection, being super small, which is not a huge surprised being downtown.It’s unfortunate there is not a better Jewel within walking distance. I hope they can improve the quality of the customer experience at this location.Note: I’ve been shopping here for over 4 years and it hasn’t gotten any better.

I work at the AMA plaza nearby and I have visited this store multiple times out of need and pleasure and everytime they have very clean, very organized and had their wares stocked very well! Most recently I bought a couple of pumpkins for Halloween and I have to say it was a great visit. The staff is quick and polite and the managers always have a watchful eye. Ive always been able to find what I cam looking for and then some. Definitely recommend this place.

Wow! What a great grocery store! I would have never thought in a million years Id be reviewing a grocery store, but let me tell you, the food they had to offer was the best I have ever got from any grocery store. First lets start off on our first day in Chicago, we got blueberry muffins from the deli which where to die for! We ate them in the store where there are stools by the window so you can people watch as you enjoy your breakfast! Later that evening we got some awesome salads from their salad bar. I dont know what was in the pasta salad, but it was wonderful. With all the great places to eat in Chicago, I would have never thought Id be wanting to eat food from a grocery store, but it was so good, I went back every night we were there! Ill sing two songs, one for my blueberry muffin and one for the great pasta salad! Ill sing Stay with Me, for my blueberry muffin, and What A Woman Needs, for my pasta salad. Thanks Jewel-Osco!

Jewel Osco Grand Plaza Market sold Stemlit Dark Sweet Cherries #4035, 1.32lbs with mold and mildew at the bottom of the plastic bag for $6.59. The male Jewel Osco Grand Plaza Market Manager would not refund the money after 5 days. It is not a good shopping experience at Jewel Osco Grand Plaza Market when the Stemlit Dark Sweet Cherries are not fresh, but rotten at the bottom of the plastic bag! Customers did not get their money back.

This Jewel is conveniently located on my shopping route. Although the store is smallish, it has a good selection and the meat department can cut you a very good piece of meat. I usually pick up only a few items because I am walking and I save the long list for a much larger Jewel that has parking. I always try to stop in when Im in that area.

Stay away from this store! I month ago I purchased spoiled ice cream from this location. When I went back to complain I noticed that temperature inside their freezers was 50F. Today I decided to give Jewel another try just to find out that caramelized apples I bought were spoiled on the inside.

Review β„–67

Not impressed. Came on a Sunday (7/15) and bought some ground beef. According to the packaging, that is the day that the beef was packed. The sell thru date was listed as 7/18. Fast forward 48 hours to Tuesday (7/17) and I take the beef out of my fridge to find it has completely changed color from pink to brown. To make sure it was bad, I opened the package slightly. My nose was not amused. I decided to blame the mishap on my luck and figured I would trek down to Jewel again to buy another pack. What I found when I got there was disturbing. More packages of dark colored meat similar to the one I bought were on the shelf, waiting to be sold. The problems stretched further than just the ground beef. Many of the other beef cuts were also discolored. I hope this store recognizes that their meat department needs attention and takes appropriate action! Photos attached below.

This jewel is small, but acts a a bit of an oasis. there are some specialty grocers nearby, but this is the only normal supermarket for several miles around. While small, there is good selection and you can do all your grocery shopping in one store, so long as you are not too selective in brands. All in all a good little store that is well needed in the area.

It can be difficult to locate items at this store. Otherwise, it’s a great grocery store. Prices are better than the stores in the area. The produce is fresh and plentiful. I find the bananas are often in good condition too. Easy money saving tip is to look for the meats marked with the β€œ50% off managers special” tags.
