This is a standard Kroger grocery store, on the west side of Columbus. I began coming here because it seemed to be open later than other groceries that I frequent. It has been my impression that the produce section, particularly fruits is well stocked, and the items are usually very fresh. Other portions of the store have all the things that you would normally find at a Kroger location. read more

So once again I could kick myself for going to the Kroghetto today. The store carries 5 to 7 types of cheese and 10 different brands for each type, rather than carrying a bigger selection. The employees need to learn where the products are in the store rather than making you walk them over to what you're talking about. Two checkout registers open 2 days before Thanksgiving. What forward thinking. read more

Stopped in here for a few things this morning. They seem to have much more fresh flowers this morning, they all looked so pretty. It was also a lot more cleaned up then the last weekend I was there. But I was in and out fairly quickly today as they had most registers open. read more

It's an older looking store but the produce department was very good and stocked . No odors by meat or seafood department which is always a plus. read more

This store gets a bad rap, unfairly, I believe. It's smaller, older, and the employees are kind and do their best. The REAL problem is the quality of the CUSTOMERS. The majority are rude, obnoxious, foul-mouthed, trash-up the place, and many shuffle in wearing pj's and house slippers. If you have no respect for yourself, you have no self respect, period. At any rate, no employee could possibly keep up with the horrible mess customers leave in the bathroom because customers can't slipper-shuffle two-steps to the trash can. Hopefully, as house prices over here rise we'll have people who received SOME home training. Until then, please don't blame the employees at this store. They'd need an army to walk behind all the fool customers who think of the people with jobs there as their personal maids. One thing, however: Employees should do their smoking BEHIND the store. In the summer, I have to hold my breath as I walk past the noxious cloud. Perhaps Management could set up picnic tables out back, with umbrellas in the summer and a heated smoking tent in the winter, as has been done where I work. At any rate, that action needs to be removed from the public eye. Walking through it reminds me of negotiating the gauntlet in junior high school. It doesn't reflect well on Kroger. read more

This Kroger wasn't always the best before the pandemic, but it was local and I like the majority of the employees. They was often out of stock and the customers who shop here can at times be the root of the problem. Now with the pandemic and the rules on masks this place sucks. Apparently if u have candy in your mouth the rules don't apply to you. There is on average 10% of the employees who don't mask properly and that damn security guard...hahaha! He has absolutely never had his mask on and at ALL times has candy in his mouth. He always gets smart with customers who say something. He says "I'm eating, I'm aloud to eat" That's not eating, that's snacking on candy all day and using it as an excuse to be an asshole. He is a Columbus Police Officer, not just some kid mall cop. As actual eating goes there is a break room for that. I have heard multiple customers have altercations with this man over the last few months and always mind my business. As of today though I will be falling in line with others that no longer shop here. I hate that from now on I will go out of my way to go shopping at a different kroger and am so thankful that I have the means to do so. I know of a dozen other people in my surrounding area that have stopped shopping there because of this man specifically. Sorry Officer just as I don't allow my child to speak with food in his mouth, I don't want to be spoken to by anybody as I enter or leave a business establishment with anything in there mouth. Perhaps had u had your mask on I wouldn't have seen the gross chewed up whatever, as you try to smile with shit all up in your teeth! read more

Kroger Food and Pharmacy - Grocery Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

As far as other Kroger locations around Columbus, this one isn't nearly as bad as the other Yelp reviews make it seem! Sparing the time to go into the whole history of this side of town, I can tell you that this Kroger location has come a LONG way in the last few years! Their organic selection has grown leaps and bounds in that time, and they have a pretty solid and well-stocked produce section in general. They don't have Boars Head meat in the deli like some other stores, so that's a bummer, but they have just about everything else that the non-Marketplace locations carry. They carry Ohio Gerber chicken, and a decent selection of frozen and fresh seafood. I frequently find awesome manager special deals on products like organic yogurt (because it doesn't sell as well), which I am always excited about. In fact, they usually have a pretty large clearance section, and I always find lots of awesome discounts there. There is a liquor store inside this location, but the craft beer selection needs work. We are in the process of getting ClickList, and I keep hearing rumblings of a Starbucks? The staff here are actually really nice - people always say hello to me! You can tell the general manager has put a lot of work into fixing up this location. Yes, there are shifty people in the parking lot sometimes, but that's not Kroger's fault. I have never felt unsafe, and if you don't care that the person shopping next to you is wearing pajama pants, you shouldn't have any issue finding everything you need here. If you live in the area, please consider shopping at this location - the more shoppers, the more demand, and the more $$ for continued improvements! You may even find some stellar deals along the way. read more

I really don't suggest this Kroger. It is the closest to my house so I'll go if necessary, but it seems so unclean. I tried the deli, and there were flies all over and it didn't look like the machines were very clean at all. The produce isn't great either. I usually drive over to the Giant Eagle on the other side of 270, but even that is pretty poor quality produce. I suggest driving up to the Hilliard Giant Eagle, or the Whole Foods on Lane. read more

The Columbus Saldano Blvd Kroger is by far the worst Kroger store in central Ohio. I have shopped at many but unfortunately this location is what I am stuck with when I am short on time since it is near to my home. It is obvious this store is neglected by the chain and the manager. When you first walk in you immediately notice the filth and the neglect (or even when looking from the parking lot). There are never any handbaskets by the entrance and I always have to fetch one by the tall pile at the self-checkout; apparently it is nobody's job to return them back to the entrance. The selection on the shelves (when somebody bothers to stock them) is also very poor compared to other locations, even though the store size is not smaller than some of the better ones. I don't think I have ever seen a single employee in this store smile. The difference between this location and others is night and day. Just because this is in a low income area does not justify the poor management and condition of this store. read more

Agree with Sarah. Go to the Kroger in Georgesville or Galloway if you're not in a hurry. This place is not too clean and a bit outdated compared to the other Krogers. read more

I use to love this store but as the yrs have gone by they have become the worse kroger ever. I have special ordered things for the last 4 months only to be promise products that they claim they never received but the warehouse informed me that they shipped out to them & who signed for them & what date they were recieved. I have made many of calls with no results. Good thing it was not a life or death situation. I just dont understand being that kroger has a such large chain of stores. I have shopped at krogers over 20yrs but looks like Giant Eagle will be my choice of store for the future. Have order from them with no problems. Sorry but you have truly lost a valuable customer. Hopefully one day soon you will get your stores back in order. Sincerely An ex value customer read more

I wish I could give it zero stars. It's the closest Kroger to my house so I go there when I'm short on time, and only during daylight hours, but avoid it if all possible. It's dirty and outdated. They have the bare essentials, but if you're looking for good cheeses or deli selections they just don't have it. Produce looks sketchy. The staff never collects the carts from the parking lot. Carts are old and broken down. Today while I was there the cashier rung me up, then started texting on her phone so I bagged my own groceries while other baggers stood around staring off into space. I've seen drug paraphernalia in the parking lot and, oh yeah, someone was murdered in the parking lot last year. read more
