    Roaches by the self check out machines homeless people sleeping outside and too many people asking for money

    Pretty pretzel
    Lou C.

    I came to this Kroger near West University Place area because I have to make a connecting route from The Heights to Micro Center. It made sense on the map. I remember I came here before, but not doing my weekly grocery shopping. Employees are not as knowledgeable as other stores. Produce prices are not matching with the advertisement. For example, lettuce was $0.89 on the ad. But cashier ring up $1.38, so did the shelves. So, I asked cashier. He didn't know. So, he gave a lame answer, "it must be different item". This was just many things got higher prices. I spotted a moldy cheese on clearance. Not sure I want to buy any cheese at all. So, disgusting. I used wide angle lens to shoot the produce section because it looks empty and not fully stocked. The rest of store is fully stocked. This store is huge. There are lots of merchandise. It was pleasant to shop here, except produce. I hope there is a farmers' market nearby.

    Love this store and the staff is always friendly, but the bathrooms are always so gross and never clean.

    I ordered curbside because I'm sick and didn't want to go in and have everyone look at me crazy. Never did I think Kroger would actually have the audacity to send expired food on my order. So if you're looking for a place to order curbside, skip this location. Pictures for reference.

    Not to be confused with Kruger (where you get killed if you fall asleep), Kringer (where they keep saying really awkward inappropriate things to you during check out), or Ogre (aka the President). We shop here literally almost all the time literally, literally, so I literally can't be so mad about it because after all literally it is one of the places that we rely on literally, and by the way, have you read the word literally lately? And the fact that is 24 hours when almost nowhere else is makes a huge difference to us, and I'll come here at 1 or 2 or 3 in the morning and get my chicken for the next week - but therein lies the problem, because a lot of times the chicken will be old or expired and it really drives me crazy. The dates on it will range anywhere from 10 days out to much more commonly one or two days out, and it will be bad by the time you get it in your fridge at home. Or the cats will rip it out of the bag and eat it but that's not Kroger's fault. Still, let's blame them anyway. Some of their other products are good, but they can be high in price as well. I do manage to get my mustard (Colman's English) cheaper than expected here, and some good fruit and veg here - but it depends on the night. Then other times they will only have a couple of registers (self serve) open and they will be problematic, glitchy, and it will be time-consuming. Some employees will ring you up themselves, others ignore you and send bad vibes. But I have to give them a good rating because they are open so late and because it is a good resource for me. In other news, Roger Federer said he was conceived inside this store. I was like "K Roger, whatever."

    It's a grocery store and a very nice one at that. So much fresh produce when you walk in and the bakery products were the best.

    I stopped here to get some coffee (I need it before a run) and my friend needed to pick up a few things. This was a really nice store (relative to my experience at New York City grocery stores). The store was clean and aisles were wide. There was so much stock on the shelves! It was really a paradise for me. I used the self checkout so can't comment on friendliness of staff, but I found what I needed and was in and out super quick. I'm a fan.

The parking was a bit of a challenge, but it was easy enough because it was a calm Tuesday morning. To get from the parking area to the store, you just take the elevator one level down, and then you're right inside. This place is surprisingly big, filled with all kinds of snacks, cookies, and coffee. The highlight for me was their shawarma breakfast wrap. It was top-notch and exactly what I needed. You choose between whole wheat or white pita, and it's filled with scrambled eggs, your choice of fresh or sautéed spinach, and they add potatoes as well. Then they top it with shawarma chicken, tomato, and a delicious sauce. For $8.5 it was worth every bite. Hands down, a five out of five. I also tried their coffee, which was just a standard brew sitting in ice for hours and nothing special. At $2.50, it was fine, but nothing to write home about. The real stars were the cookies. I got a coconut pecan cookie and an almond crunch cookie, and both were absolutely delicious. I didn't have time to explore the whole store, but there was a great selection of fresh produce, chocolates, and all sorts of small treats. Overall, the staff were really friendly, and the entire visit was smooth. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Five out of five stars!

Nevertheless, it had most of what we were looking for, basically just drinks and snacks for our 2-day stay in Houston. My father wanted bakery items for breakfast and settled for the usual Hostess and Hostess-like choices you'd find at, again, a convenience store. However, the gentleman behind the register was pleasant and helpful. A customer came in and while checking out casually mentioned he had a close friend die the day before in a car crash. The cashier was very sympathetic and listened to the guy without interrupting or trying to hurry him along. In all, the store has the basics. But if you're looking for an actual grocery store like what you'd typically find in the downtown area of a large city, this is not it.

I know it seems backwards, but you're way less likely to get approached by someone asking you to buy them something. For the record, the store doesn't feel unsafe--homeless unsafe--but sometimes, you just want to grab your groceries in peace. Now, something that never fails to annoy me: one of the entrance doors is always locked. Every time. So you're forced to walk around to the main entrance. Minor, but annoying. Thankfully, the elevators from the garage always work, so silver lining there if you park downstairs. Today I was reminded of another classic Randall's feature: the smell. I stopped in on my bike to grab some veggies and, like clockwork, was hit with that signature aroma, somewhere between a porta-potty and a city park at noon in July. I think it was coming from outside this time... but I've definitely caught a whiff inside before too. Is it overpriced? Yes. Is it so conveniently located that I keep coming back anyway? Also yes. To be fair, the prepared food section and the bread game are on point. If carbs are a love language, this place is fluent. Bonus points: they've added EV charging for our green-driving friends. But I think they shrank some of the parking spots. I watched a jacked-up truck on stilts struggle to park in a handicap space. Waiting for the driver to hop out onto the hood of the next car over.

It's just an ordinary grocery store, but it's clearly in a neighborhood that needs extra safety, as there's a security guard with a gun posted right at the entrance. It was something that really stood out, especially at night. The cleanliness was also a letdown; there was a lot of trash and food debris, especially in the fresh produce section. I grabbed some drinks and snacks, and the variety was just okay but not great either. Maybe it was just because I went at night, but the warm food didn't look very fresh or appealing. So, it was fine for a quick stop, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Cashier was nice.

Big mistake. First off, I get that Houston was bracing for a snowstorm (crazy, I know), so I wasn't shocked that a lot of my requested items were out of stock. Fine, not their fault. But what was their fault? Not actually giving me half of the things I did manage to order! I got home, excited for my stash of groceries, only to realize I had basically made a charitable donation to HEB. No cheese. No sour cream. No coffee. NO MAPLE SYRUP. The donuts? Trash. Stale, lifeless, and the long john with "cream" filling? A cruel joke. Either it never got filled or the cream evaporated from old age. Tried calling the store--no answer. Couldn't go back because the entire city was frozen over for two days. At this point, I just accepted my fate. Maybe they were overwhelmed that day. Maybe it was just bad timing. But I won't be back to find out. Until Montrose finishes its never-ending construction, I'll be looking for another HEB--or honestly, another grocery store altogether. Buffalo Speedway, double-check your curbside orders and throw away the old donuts. You saved me some calories, at least.

Unfortunately there's only one in the city, but it's "centrally" located (get the pun?) off Westheimer and 610 near the Galleria. We frequent this grocery store a few times a month, and though the products are more expensive overall than your normal Kroger or HEB, the selection is amazing and worth the visit. Here's what I love about Central Market: the produce, salads, sandwiches, meats, seafood, wine, cereal, yogurts, bread, coffee, ice cream, spices - actually pretty much everything. Even their flowers are incredible. Now here are some pro tips; listen carefully: - if you want the real, full CM experience, go on a Saturday or Sunday. You'll feel like you're at Costco waiting in line for samples and trying to push your cart without running someone over. But if you want a quiet, peaceful experience, go on a weekday during the day. You have to work, you say? Take a few hours of vacation or personal time off and head to Central Market. It'll be better than your last few vacations. - they have an app and it's amazing! You can save 20-30% each shopping trip with their offers and coupons. Make sure you add the deals in your app before you go to check out. (This part is a little annoying.) - ice cream section: buy the Hellenika Ube coconut. Just do it. Taste it and you can thank me later. It will change your life. If you want to overpay for it, fly to Seattle and find it at Pike Place Market. - stop buying spices like peppercorn and coriander seeds in bulk that are stored in bottles and jars. Go to Central Market and just buy exactly what you need for your recipe. You'll spend 24 cents for this and 58 cents for that, etc. Not $5 for a jar of spices that will lose its flavor or expire after a year. And the big question everyone asks: Central Market or Whole Foods? Whole Foods has way more locations, but CM takes the cake. It's just amazing. Trust me.
