Another Pharmacy Phail from Fred Meyers. I have a low bar for pharmacies in Portland, honestly, I don't need polite, knowledgable staff, I just want them to reliably provide the fairly basic service they are supposed to. When they can't even do that, it's disappointing, but when the level of rudeness and lack of knowledge prevent them from doing something that they perfectly well could, it's over the line for me. read more

Great fill-in for the basics between all the hip, trendy, local, fun shops along Hawthorne. Did someone say they expected clothes here? Walk a block in either direction and support your locals and vintage shops for that stuff. Come here to get a hacksaw last minute and awesome fresh and large selection of groceries. Have some conveyer belt sushi while you're at it. read more

Great deli food! The Indian food is great. The cashier though seemed uninterested in her job

It's Freddie's. Not much to say. It's a grocery store, it's cheaper than Safeway, and they have a little of everything. My main complaint is that they are ALWAYS out of our eggs! WTF? read more

It's a Fred Meyer. It's at the corner of Hawthorne & Chavez. The people-watching is great.

It's my home away from home. I know where everything is and it's easy to get around. Now that they have security for the parking lot and the time limit it has become easier to find a parking spot. Did someone say sushi bar? It's great to eat there before you do your weekly shopping. No need to shop hungry. I like there isn't a temptation for clothes shopping. I would prefer a department store anyways. We buy our weekly food, electronics and BBQ needs from one stop shop. read more

Super rude staff. My checkout lady Megan today just was such a snob it finally inspired me to just go to Safeway, New Seasons and Trader Joes going forward. read more

Awesome grocery dept. Best Deli around. Cheese bar, sushi train and store made soups and salads. Best "regular" grocery store around.

Quality and clean Fred Meyer in a trendy area of town. That being said, the parking at this location is terrible. We live near this store, but also near other stores that are less trendy, and the parking is better. This store is so concerned with accomodating the bicycles, ride sharing, and plug in cars, there there is little parking left for the rest of us, and because of the shopping in the neighborhood, very little street parking available. read more

WARNING-- Parking for your car is sometimes truly impossible to find in their lot. Today I drove around the lot for 15 minutes before giving up entirely and parking at the door with my hazards on while my husband ran in for an essential item. We scrapped our plans for a full grocery run there. Otherwise, it's a great store for groceries. Amazing beer and wine selection for a grocery store (or for most places, really). Excellent deli service and natural foods selection, too. The non-food, Target/Walmart-type items are somewhat more limited than many of the Fred Meyers, but most things can be found there. read more

I don't eat at the "food court" and don't shop for groceries here, but I have to give respect to the convenience. I can almost buy anything here. For example, on the way to a job interview today I picked up a leather professional binder. As I'm writing this review, my wife suggested we stop at "Freddy's" and pick up a cooler tomorrow. You get the idea. Not a half bad craft beer selection either. For all of you complainers about the parking lot, why don't you just take the ramp and park on the roof where there are usually dozens of open spots??? read more

The area between the meat counter and the counterless meat smells like chlorine. It's not very appetizing. It doesn't stop the coffee covered tri tip from being amazing and the pizza stuffed chicken from being pretty good. The bakery clearance rack tends to be overflowing with price reduced junk food of varying deliciousness. Doughnuts become three for a dollar after 6 PM but they like to clean the doughnut cage out and put them into boxes at like 6:15. "Kitchen gadgets" like cheese graters and meat thermometers are overpriced, which is typical for Fred Meyer. Why would I spend $30 on an electronic meat thermometer here when I can get one that does the same thing at Ikea for $6? I saw a pressure cooker online for $40. It was $70 at this Fred Meyer. The two foot long deli sandwiches could really use some condiments, the fried chicken is good, the Boar's Head stuff is usually good, the bulk spice section costs about a sixteenth of what the spices in tiny glass containers cost, nobody ever goes upstairs, the electronics section isn't really worth looking at if you aren't one of the eight people still afraid to buy things on the internet, and there's a bunch of beer. read more

Why do they have 11 kinds of pork bacon, but only 1 kind of turkey bacon, and it's overpriced???? Also 7 kinds of the same flavor pork sausage, but only one overpriced turkey sausage. They used to carry affordable non pork breakfast items. No longer. What happened to banquet turkey sausage for the commoner? Suddenly they have TONS of overpriced :Kosher" items, but none for the average unorthodox kosher shopper. This store has been gentrified to the point of alienating the original neighborhood. A shame. read more

Great selection but the poorest customer service I've ever seen. It's like being at Wal-Mart, with the only difference being there is no dress code. read more

Im new in town and I love me some Fred Myer. Came inThursday night from a 12 mile hike. Got some food from the deli to take home. It was good. And thanks to the "Italian guy" behind the couner. He was fast funny and cool. Good customer service. I think he was Italian. read more

This place is neither amazing nor terrible. It is two stories, so sometimes it can be difficult to move through easily, depending upon your shopping needs. It also has a lot of space, but I often find that a particular item I'm shopping for (a brand of toilet paper, a type of bread, non-scented fabric softener, etc.) is not available on the shelf. Employees are often hard to find, so it's hard to ask about something. Also, it lacks a true clothing section (underwear, socks, and hosiery are about the limit), and, while improved, its home and electronic section leaves something to be desired. Those things being said, the has a great selection of produce and the people working check-out and the customer service desk have always been pleasant. read more

I'll put it this way: if they sold "I FRED MEYERS" t-shirts, they would be sold out in a day. My favorite grocery establishment, and remember, check out the Kaiten sushi bar while you're at it! read more

Very crowded but tidy. I visited here just once for my first time but the employees were very collected and helpful.

This is for the digital printing department. Very friendly staff, yet something very strange occurred. I'd placed an online order for 20 4x6 flat "cards" that I designed with one of my photos. On their website they call it a card. When I designed it there was no border because I didn't want one. I looked at the "preview" and accepted the design- all good, right? When I picked up the order there was not only a white border around the image, it was uneven. More strangely, on the reverse was printed (I guess) ID numbers, etc. that one sees on the back of photo paper. I assumed that if it's supposed to be a "card", then there would be a blank reverse side to write a greeting on. When I asked about the border the gentleman said it was from their template, and the "cards" print with a white border even though there is none showing on the website "preview" and even though a border isn't ordered. ok....Just for the heck of it I asked why a product that is advertised as a "card" has printed numbers on the back. A "card" implies that one would send to people with your own writing on the back. Looked suspiciously like a regular plain ol' photo print to me (but more expensive). I asked the nice gentleman what makes it a card, as opposed to just a plain ol' photo print, and he said that envelopes are included. Looked cheap and un-usable as a "card", so returned and walked away with slightly dilated pupils, and a feeling that I'd just visited a strange faraway land. read more

There sidewalk in Front of the Cesar Chavez side of the store is entirely covered with ice. It is very dangerous. I slipped on it and braced myself with a bench; but the next person may not be so lucky. I called the store and spoke with the manager on duty Kenny to express my concern. He told me it was not Fred Meyer's responsibility but the city's responsibility, since it was not in front of the doorway to their store. He was very rude and nasty. He told me that multiple people have been complaining about this issue. I asked him how he would feel if somebody slipped and injured themselves or died. And he said he wouldn't care because it wasn't Fred Meyer's responsibility and he certainly wasn't going to do anything about the ice. When I pointed out that even if he was correct about the law, it was terrible public relations he hung up on me. read more

this is one of my favorite fred meyer locations. it's not as big as the others and it is neighborhood friendly. good selection of fresh vegetables and fruit. the deli isn't as diverse as the one in hillsdale but still worth a try. open seating is good for having your snacks. read more

I resisted shopping at Fred Meyer for my weekly groceries for quite a while. I like smaller, more specialty oriented stores like Whole Foods, New Seasons, and Zupan's. I just really didn't enjoy the experience of shopping at Fred Meyer. However, over time I've noticed that Fred is doing a better and better job of upgrading their natural foods section, providing vegetarians and vegans with a good selection of basic and everyday nutrition. And the prices are usually very good, so what's not to like? So this is where I do the majority of my grocery shopping now. I would give Fred 5 stars, but I took one star off for decor- - I still think they could do a little more to make it look less like a warehouse. But other than that I have no real complaints, and I feel that I get good value for my food dollar there. read more

My dad has been a part of the Fred Meyer company for about 6 years. He started at SE Fred Meyer, working his way to wood-village, and now works at Hawthorne. He an assistant manager in electronics. He's very good at his job and enjoys his customers. The Hawthorne store is under construction right now..and it's absolutely amazing! The employees at Wood Village Fred Meyer have been part of my family for many years. Here, and at every Fred Meyer, they are very friendly, and are always willing to help a customer. The store is very important to them, and so are their customers. It definitely beats wal-mart and their aisles where everything is always on the floor! read more

This one-star review is based solely on the pharmacy. I hate this pharmacy. I didn't think it was possible to actually hate a pharmacy, but now I know. I've laughed, I've cried, I've almost vomited...and that's just in one visit. For those of you closely following my reviews, you may recall that I was in a car wreck a couple years ago. I was prescribed a lot of painkillers around that time. Every time I went in to get my prescription, they'd treat me like a junkie, no joke. I'm thinking, "C'mon, you get a new VALID prescription from my doctor every few weeks...a prescription I'm about as comfortable filling as I would be leaving a toddler unattended in a room full of glass figurines. I'm in pain, I'm tired, and I don't like taking painkillers. Give me some respect." But no, they were always the same, "Oh, [name of painkiller] again." Of course, I wanted to reply with, "Oh, bad attitude again." But that would be rude, right? And now, it's like there's some mark next to my name that reads, "Give this bitch a hard time every time she comes in here; she takes too many drugs." And that's exactly what they do. They argue over everything, they mis-run my insurance, they insist that I get "counseling" from the pharmacist even when I'm taking something I've already taken before (maybe they have to do that, I don't know). And whenever they make a mistake (e.g., my autofill prescription isn't autofilled), they still come at me with that attitude...like double-time. I'm looking into finding a better pharmacy nearby. read more

Never been rudely treated at this store til tonight And the last 10 times I have shopped here they are always completely out of frozen organic berries and Gabriel's bread! Like nothing on the shelf. I don't need attitude and not having what I came to the store for makes me rethink where I will shop. read more

The potato salad in the deli had way undercooked potatoes in it. It was gross and I threw it away. Learn how to cook people!!!

Well I use to come here 5 days a week to eat lunch, use the Internet, and charge my phone. I came in today and they covered all the outlets. I will never shop here again. These fools will lose more money then the small amount of electricity used to charge a cell phone. read more

basically the nicest Freddy's I've ever been to. The have everything from artisan chocolates to belt sushi to wine tasting. Highly recommended. Their doughnuts can also compete with voodoo. read more

Everyone is always nice and helpful at this store, but today, Jonathan, in the meat department, made me look like a "dinner party diva"! He took the extra time to create and guide us on the perfect kabobs. I'll be a loyal customer going forward due to today's experience, very thankful. read more

I have enjoyed coming to this Fred Meyer location for over a decade now, and it has done nothing but get better. I love being able to cone here with some pocket money and get some sushi. The fact that these have bars now is just funtastic. I have always enjoyed the cheese variety. Thank you for having public restrooms. Two stories of anything you could need really. They get festive with holidays and that is always a warm welcome. I enjoy that for the most part in all these years, I have experienced good customer service here. The organics and natural food section is off the chain! Not to mention, the wide variety of gluten free products, uncured meats, and non GMO products. I LOVE the organic produce variety. The fact that the let the community post events is lovely. I only have had one issue ever. I was going down the escalator recently and it snagged my skirt and seriously ripped it, nearly tore it right off of me! I had to rip it out of the escalator teeth to save my skirt. The skirt is badly damaged. It was just a really crazy experience, might want to check it out and see if there is some way to block that. May not be good if someone gets their skirt ripped off In the middle of the store! Much love and light read more

Normally go to Freddys instead of Wal Mart or Target, but had disappointing experience on Christmas Eve when the store closed earlier than what their website had claimed. I ended up having to buy my last minute Christmas gifts at a competitor. read more

I have shopped there forever and the new layout is ok, albeit not terribly efficient. The front entrance is weird and the shopping flow upstairs needs some help...but the real frustration is those stupid little shopping carts that just go in circles!?!?! Whomever thought that side rolling wheels was a good idea has obviously not spent much time pushing a shopping cart! read more

Much more than a regular Fred Meyer. They're obviously answering the upscale stores in the neighborhood. Including a sushi bar, Moonlight Chocolates, a Boar's Head meat deli, and s good cheese department. Also the first dip and salsa bar I've ever seen. Well worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood -- or even if you aren't! read more

well I was a loyal customer until I made the mistake of ringing up a lemon and a lime under "2 lemons" in self checkout. someone was notified to assist me they put their hands all over my lemon then continued to come back and check over my shoulder as I rang up a grapefruit. felt very incriminating. go to freddys on Broadway read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I have been shopping at this store for almost 20 yrs. I usually pay cash and occasionally pay by check, with the amount usually between $150-$225. On Sunday 11-25-18, I wrote a check for $230, and it was refused...I wasn't recognized by the computer. (And, yes, I had plenty of $$ in my checking account.) Since I had brought my own bags, I dumped the groceries back into the cart and left. In the past 4 months: 1. I have been stopped for shoplifting; the employee backed down when he saw my receipt, and 2. my car's tire was marked because I had been in the store for 80 mins. The parking lot signs say 90 mins. I wouldn't have been there for 80 mins, but FM has reorganized and rearranged the merchandise, making it difficult to locate what I needed. Apparently, FM's policy is now to treat the customer as guilty until proven innocent. GO TO SAFEWAY! Checks are accepted with proper ID, NO HASSLES. Both the cashier and the bagger asked if I needed help taking the grocery bags to the car. What a refreshing change! read more

This store is actually pretty amazing. You can find organic produce on sale, and service has always been good. I run down there when I can, because my local Freddie's cannot compete with the selection. Just sad that they aren't carrying the big bags of juicing carrots anymore. read more

I work for a big corporation in the service department. Tonight at the self check out at around 8:55pm I had nice friendly reminder of what it's like to get poor service. It reminded me how fragile the customer and service department relationship is. Normally Freddy's has a par standard versus a place like New Seasons with amazing above par customer service. At the self check out I checked organic carrots instead of regular carrots and this brought my total of 3 carrots to $7.50. I asked an employee who was right in front of me on the other side cleaning the other bay of u-scans if he could help me. He replied to me in a tone as if I were an insubordinate child ... like I was bothering him. You get paid to help people guy!!! If you don't want to help people, then don't come to work. Then the attendant came to help me. No matter how many times I asked him what I should do differently next time he was too distracted with something else to talk to me. Guess what buddy you are standing next to me helping me ... not rushing to 'sort of' help some one else. I was so put off by this lack of caring I didn't want to ask why my one sweet potato cost $1.50. I am not a meek person at all and I'm not trying to be passive, but I felt like I should say something. These employees need a friendly reminder self's. read more

Love this location. Friendliest staff and clean location. The people at the meat/seafood counters are all standouts! Keep it up Fred Meyer and I will not stray! read more

This store offers everything besides clothing items. I loved to shop there until I decided that it was not worth putting up with one particular employee that made my shopping trips stressful.\ This female employee stands up at the front (main door on Hawthorne street) by the lone register. She never smiles, always has the worst grim on her face, and she is just rude to customers. Here are a few examples of what she has done... EXAMPLES: I am disabled and take a wire push cart with me to shop,so I can get my groceries back home by bus. When I walked into the store, I asked the security where would be a good place to put the cart. The security had no chance to answer, this employee was gruff in voice and said " YOU CAN NOT LEAVE THAT THING ANYWHERE, TAKE IT WITH YOU TO SHOP OR LEAVE IT AT HOME NEXT TIME, WE DO NOT BABYSIT ITEMS FOR CUSTOMERS AT OUR STORE". I stated to her that I was not speaking to her, and felt she was being a bit rude to me. She stated to me " WELL YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THAT THING UP HERE, SO DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT". I started to laugh, as I felt she was going a bit over board on her behavior about this. She had several more comments to make as I left the area. Later when I was shopping she walked by me and stated " I SEE YOU FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR CART, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CUSTOMERS THINK WE CAN WATCH THIER ITEMS AND YOU GOT NASTY WITH ME FIRST". I told her to get the hell away from me, and I left the store.....with no purchases this trip. I heard her comment to security when I was walking out that ' we need to watch people who fill the carts then leave with no purchases'. Did she mean I could be a thief? EXAMPLE: I was at the register where this employee stands, the cashier was so nice and doing my checking out of items. My cell phone rings...my daughter had been very ill and in hospital so I took the call. The cashier asked me how I wanted to pay, I said 'I am so sorry but it is the Doctor about my daughter in the hospital'. The cashier stated to me that this was okay, no one else was in line, so I was not holding anyone up. I then proceeded to check out as I spoke to the Doctor. As I hung up, knowing I was going to rush to the hospital with a cart full of groceries by bus to be with my daughter before emergency surgery.....I started to shake and cry. By then other customers were in line, and the cashier busy with them. As I was walking past this rude lady employee she said 'DON'T YOU THINK IT RUDE TO HOLD UP CUSTOMERS IN LINE TAKING PERSONAL CALLS'. I turned around and said to her that she should shut up and be fired that she was the worst employee I had ever met at any store and this was the worst time she could ever push my buttons with her rude statements to me. She said to me ' AND YOU ARE RUDE'. another customer said ' geez, that lady is rude....she thought he meant me and said yes she is always is....he said to her....NO I MEAN YOU!. She got that grim look again and made a huffing sound of distaste. When me and the other customer left he told me that this employee is always rude to people and that she was put on the front because she is rude. I just want the management of this store to know that it now takes me more time, walking to get to another store to avoid this employee. When I go to your store, I now use the other door and I avoid the front of the store where she is at. I use to love to have lunch and eat sushi there........but I won't even go that close to her. This employee should not be where customers are....she should be in the back area.....away from people. She evidently is not a people person. I thank you for taking the time to read this and I am sorry it is so long winded and scrambled. I have a mental disabilty that makes it hard for me to handle stress. THANK YOU, Mrs. Mann Portland, Oregon 4400 NE BROADWAY STREET, APT 712 PORTLAND, OREGON 97213 971-338-0087 read more

Our favorite Freddies store. If you're looking for clothes or lots of sporting or auto stuff don't bother. This is the place for food shopping. Great produce section. Large meat counter. Outstanding cheese and olive counter. Wonderful sweets and bakery area. Its very own Sushi counter. Plus the Deli. And now a beer tap wall for filling Growlers. This store parallels the Hawthorne Districts sense of a more eclectic hipster atmosphere to it. If you want to spend more money at a more upscale store head for New Seasons a few blocks up. At times it can be hard to find an employee on the floor for assistance but I've always been treated with courtesy at the checkouts and counters. Let me also add there's a covered bike rack area right next to the entryways. Lots of people bike and shop here, the rack area is often filled. read more
