Great local grocery store in Oak Park. Not only do they have all the basics, they have a wonderful meat counter and wine/liquor selections. So convenient to have this little gem right around the corner. Clean, and staff are super helpful and friendly.

You can find a great selection of local and craft products. They make their own baked good and have some hot foods as well, which is nice for a quick meal. Free parking lot is another perk!

Really disappointed in this place, apart from the nice decor, this place doesn’t maintain their food products very well. The last couple of times i’ve visited a lot of items are past their expired date, on top of that some of the bake goods i saw had mold on them! won’t be going back anytime soon

I love this store for home delivery! They do the shopping/packing themselves, and take great care about accuracy. Im so happy to shop local with Carnival.

Great resource for south Oak Park. We can always count on it being well stocked with items if needed at the last minute. Theyre too small to compete on price and volume but punch above their weight when it comes to supporting the community. Before COVID-19, they hosted awesome little family oriented events around each holiday. After COVID-19, they have a community pantry. I try to donate something after every visit.

We love having Carnival Grocery store available to us. They always have a good selection, especially for being a neighborhood grocery store. Is it just for a few mid-week items? Well, yes, but Ive also done a complete week of grocery shopping there. They are a great example of an excellent neighborhood grocery - and more.

They offer 10% discount when one buys food for their outdoor food pantry. It has a refrigerator and stock cabinet. Hungry people can choose what they want and just grab it. Great pandemic idea!!

Its ok for a quick grocery run. My daughter goes here mainly; I dont want her traveling far to the store by herself. We have been coming to this store before when it was pans. The ladys were nice. I eat mainly vegan so I rarely shop for myself here. The fruit and vegetables are meh. They dont have too many vegan food items. The workers are ok. Its conveniently close to me because I would never come just out of a whim or otherwise.Update: They are selling more vegan options. This is good!

Its a pretty nice place! Very convenient and all the employees are delightful. The only downside is their selection is pretty slim in some areas, but perfect for the basics.

They are making some great changes. Ive been shopping here since it used to be Pans. The owner is making improvements to make it a true community grocery store. Today was uneventful and I was pleased to see that the new cashier is so organized and kind. He had all his bags staged and open for customers who may need them. Outstanding.

Great store! Through the whole COVA-19 crisis - they had LOTS of food available - they kept crowds to a minimum, it was so much less stressful to shop at than Jewel Foods. They have done a ton of upgrades - juice bar, fun murals, wine tastings, great greeting cards, lots of prepared foods - definitely check this store out!

Great spot for a quick grocery trip; parking for cars and bikes around the back. Fresh produce, butcher counter, prepared foods, grocery staples and a solid beer/wine selection.

I love the changes here! I especially love the meat selections. It is great to buy pre-seasoned meats and get them on the table for dinner in no time at all. There is so much variety. I also appreciate that so much of the meat is Amish and/or raised with higher standards. I have made meat requests and have been so pleased with the service and quality. I ordered a turkey for the holidays that was perfect. I have bought some good salads and olives at the deli counter. Fruits and vegetables have always been fresh. I suggest that they do a MEGA sale (prices ridiculously low)on a few select items to get people in the door. This store just needs more word of mouth and perhaps some sampling- some unusual treats, imported chocolates? Gourmet dessert area? featured cheeses, perhaps? Then it could become a destination shopping trip and the hottest destination for food in the neighborhood.

A pretty nice small grocery store with a wide selection of wine and beer. Most people probably cant fill all their grocery needs here but if you live in the area or need something in a pinch its great. The one real drawback is the lack of a bakery or an extensive baked goods section, but given that the Oak Park bakery is just down the street thats probably not too much of an inconvenience.

Im disappointed that they disassociated with Harrison Quality Meats. I used to be able to go there on the way home for amazing meat selection and now its really disappointing. Its also unfortunate that all beer, wine, and alcohol costs about 50% more than any other store.

This place has really tasty dolma and I love the chipotle chicken salad they make sold in containers near the salad bar. They have a small produce section that is usually fresh and always expensive. They have a nice selection of craft beers but they are at least 2 dollars more than you would pay at another store.
