    Heat and serve food has gone down.
    Patrick E.

    One of the not so nice Mariano's I've encountered. Comparing this place to Vernon Hills location, it definitely is sub par. Sometimes they will have 1-2 register open on a weekend, and self check out is closed. Corporate has been notified.

    No single bread in the baskets and out of the one we came for.

    Every time we go shopping on the weekend the store is out of everything we need. The produce section is decimated, the produce that is there are the ones no one wants and there seems to be no restocking. You have to go at 6am in Saturday morning or there's nothing left. Typically we try to go early Saturdays but the last couple of months since the weather has been nice we've had other plans, so we've been going early (like 7-8am) Sunday mornings and there's NOTHING. We moved here from out of state a year and a half ago and we love the selection they do have when it's there, but we would like the option to go grocery shopping on either Saturday OR Sunday mornings. Hopefully they get it together. Another thing that I'm not thrilled about are some of the staff... the deli department always seems pretty unfriendly, with the exception of a few people and there is a young blonde girl who works in the coffee area who has no manners or customer service, she's been quite rude a few times. I'll update with her name once I get it, but for management she was working this morning (5/12/19) and has a blonde ponytail and is probably about 17-19. Someone should talk to her about her overall attitude/customer service and facial expressions when assisting people. All I want is a nice place to shop with options, maybe we will be going back to Jewel.

    Kettle corn
    ALice A.

    Pretty disappointed in their fresh popped popcorn. I decided to give their $3 kettle corn a try. It looks delicious but boy was I wrong. There was a lot where it was super salty. Yuck! And some were burnt. Totally ruined my desire to munch on these. Now it's just sitting on the kitchen counter hoping someone else will eat it... Aka BF... (Doc's Popcorn in Gurnee Mills isnt bad!) Besides their waaay too salted popcorn, I still frequent marianos because of the good variety of foods they carry. I would use to buy their muffins / pastry at the vernon hills location since they make it fresh there. But I have a feeling the gurnee location gets theirs delivered from vernon hills so sometimes even tho the sell by date is still good, the pasty in it isn't.... So be careful when getting those! Its always a bummer bringing home delicious looking pastry only to know that after the first bite, its been sitting in the store for awhile... blah! Their hot foods selection is great too if you want something quick to eat. They also have OK sushi. Two things always get when I'm there is their fresh squeezed orange juice and their ROUNDYS brand organic milk! Tastes so much better than the brands you find at jewel or Walmart. The employees are pretty friendly and helpful. Makes shopping there so much more pleasant! =)

    Pretty good selection of imported foods

    While this particular location isn't as nice as some of the free standing Mariano's, it's still better than jewel Osco.

Lewis Fresh Market certainly isn't one of those cramped little stores. Has a lot of produce and other items. The prices aren't the best but they're pretty comparable to other places. Best thing is the produce because it's all fresh. It's comparable to the Cermak Fresh Markets. There's a lot of Mexican and other Latino stuff in here along with some other countries too. Has quite a lot to go through so you can find many good items. There's a grill to order tacos and tortas. Also there's a hot bar and salad bar. Other popular areas include the bakery where they cut fresh loaves. Has even more produce outside, especially when they have pumpkins in autumn. The prices are okay for being fresh. For sure we could go here again if in the area. It's got a couple locations, including this one on Grand. The produce is considered to be the best stuff.

Something I do at all ethnic grocers. There's no organic vegetables available and there is a popular bakery which I did not patronize. Not a place to drive to but interesting to pick up some Mexican while in the area. I liked my carnitas by the pound & threw the spinach pies & cooked chicken in the freezer for those busy days.

We rolled into…read morethe Gurnee, IL location bc our hotel thought we were pixies and gave us shampoo & body wash bottles fit for Tinkerbell.... cute but i need more than just a tiny drop of shampoo!! This Walmart was suspiciously clean and almost too organized, like someone summoned it straight out of a suburban dream. Jaime in electronics was very nice and helpful and the night crew shuffled around w pallets like retail workhorses waiting for dawn. The real win here.... (shhh... its a secret) No 10-cent plastic bag tax (like in Cali)!! Sweet, sweet Midwestern freedom!!! THAT ALONE made us so excited!! Another plus was how empty the store was during business hours... not very much traffic, which was nice!! The parking lot, though... eerily empty!!!!!!!!! The kind of quiet that makes you wonder if the town's residents only come out after sunset. A perfect stop for restocking your mortal supplies before the vampires wake.

We had come in to buy a sports watch from the jewelry section. Mind you, it was only $20 but they still had it locked up. It took literally, an hour and endless customer service calls for someone to come and unlock the case. We were literally standing there about to search the desk and find the friggin keys ourselves. So unprofessional, it was just a $20 watch, but they're treating it like there's a rolex in there. Jeez!!!! After tracking down 6 different people, whom none had keys for the case, finally out of the sky fell an associate with the keys. Hallelujah! Finally... until we waited another 20 minutes for him to test every key on the ring, until the right one unlocked the case... do you guys not even label your keys? It was like watching a horror movie.. the anticipation.. What do your workers even do all day? Had we known it would've taken over an hour to track down any willing employee, let alone one with the correct keys, all to unlock a sorry $20 watch, we would've been out of there instantly. Such a disgrace, the manager should be ashamed.
