Mariano's stores have a classy vibe. They exude an aura of quality. Their stores have an excellent ambiance. When I walk in, I notice the stores are well-organized with phenomenal displays. I value that Mariano's stores typically have a wide variety and selection. I have appreciated the ability to obtain prepared foods at Mariano's, including delicacies like sushi. I have found other great prepared foods at Mariano's that I enjoyed a lot, e.g,. succulent beef pot roast. It is fantastic that Mariano's have self checkout kiosks, which can help with convenience. There are also a significant number of Mariano's stores in Chicagoland. read more

This marianos doesn't execute. Their produce is often mislabeled or offers coupons that dont exist like plums that aren't in coupon database with no qr code (see pics) or spoiled meat for sale. The man working the in-store starbucks is great tho! Note they offer coupons that dont exist and dont ring up till end of transaction when utilized anyways. read more

This is an update based on my experience last night with their self-checkout. The thing first complained that I did not bag my small item. Then, a couple items later, is ordered me to scan something that I had already scanned and bagged. At the end, it locked the screen and began flashing the Help light. A hapless, confused woman began fumbling with the machine, brought up a fuzzy photo of me holding an item wanting to know what it was. I couldn't tell. The item count on their system matched the number of items in the bags. She still couldn't figure it out. I should have left but was hungry. I have had similar hallucinations with their scanners before. They are probably playing with AI. I NEVER have these problems with self-checkout at Walmart. That is why I prefer to go there and their prices are half! read more

Misha in the flower department helped us with getting over 80 bunches of baby's breath for my daughter's wedding. Her expertise and advise was greatly appreciated. She went above and beyond to help make picking up the flowers easy for our day of wedding coordinator. The bouquets of baby's breath were fresh, full and as white as can be exactly as we had hoped. I would highly recommend them for wedding flowers. The whole experience exceeded our expectations! read more

October 2025 Once again Mariano's Western Springs at its finest...... If you use digital savings make sure you actually get the savings when you checkout. Three to four weeks ago I got screwed out of digital savings on Tyson chicken even after sending my receipt and a photo of the product, including the UPC bar code. This week the digital savings for grapes didn't post. Cashier was unenthusiastic to rectify and it took a supervisor to fix. They offered a lame excuse that the product must have been tagged incorrectly in produce. Be aware so you don't get cheated. You can always register a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General Office if you wish. read more

The store is great if you like being profiled because of your age and having the manager follow you around to spy on you. Experience is still horrible for overpriced items. read more

Never had a bad shopping trip here and clearance areas are amazing. My knee doctor's office is very close and stopping here was a bonus. All the staff here are just awesome and very friendly, helpful too. read more

The store usually clean and always getting stocked up. An experience at the Customer service the clerk was able to refund me an over charge that I noticed on my receipt! I always find the best fresh fruits... read more

Had such a great experience today while Shiloh g I was greeted several times throughout the store by the Store Director Megan who asked if I needed help to all the customers. Then even while checkout she came to assist with bagging. Her leadership was amazing.. I appreciate her showing what good service looks like and not just requesting it from the staff read more

Now that thanksgiving is upon us, this place is packed. The manager really knows how to run a well oiled machine. Every checkout was open and efficiently run. At the cheese counter the assistant knew I looked lost and came around the counter to help. Went out of his way to be kind. I haven't been here in a while but the staff has worked its way back into my rotation. read more

This store is so dirty, cramped, unorganized, and chaotic. The seafood area smelled like sewer gas today. It's not the smell that one wants to experience while food shopping. I try to avoid this store as much as possible and drive to the Mariano's in Westchester which is leaps and bounds nicer, clean, and a much more peaceful shopping experience. read more

I'm rating the Starbucks inside Mariano's but the store is great as well. I like everyone else was hunting down the rainbow 2020 edition of the Starbucks cups. Every time I called the Starbucks they were super nice! Thank you I appreciate that. Laura which is the store manager went above and beyond to help me get those cups. I called her almost everyday and she kept me informed of when her store was going to get them. She made my day when she told me she was about to set out the rainbow tumbler, I flew there and was able to purchase it. Thanks Laura you made my Bday extra special this year! Keep doing a great job Starbucks, great customer service is always appreciated! read more

I entered the store straight to deli for just tuna salad this morning. 1 lady ahead of me was ordering. I waited to be called next as I am the only other person standing there for 5 minutes while several other employees are seemingly busy behind counter. seems like forever to be waited on. another lady shows up and within minutes the same worker that looked up at me twice while I was waiting comes up and asks " whose next"? Really! I am and you know I am Ive been standing here for the longest!!!! Can you guess my ethnicity??????? read more

Only 2 checkers for the regular lines and they were out of my rice milk, flavored water, cereal and Kerry Gold butter; but otherwise I got everything I needed. Nice salad bar with lots of unique fruits like pomegranate and papaya plus 4 kinds of berries. I don't have a Mariano's card so I paid $6.70 more. I'll stick with Jewel as the prices are better with shorter lines and no discount card required. read more

Mariano's - Lots of berries on the salad bar. - Grocery Near Me - Western Springs, Illinois

Marianos is clean and has several specialty shops, like cheese, wine and liquor, bakery, butcher assistance in meat department, etc. Prices are inching up with the Covid-19 fallout, and a few shelves are empty, likely due to supply chain issues. Usually the items are available the next trip. Staff is helpful and usually pretty pleasant despite carding this grandma for wine samples and purchases. Kinda wacky! Ample parking. Policy re rewards card is pretty liberal. read more

This store has gone wayyyyyyyyyy downhill since they first converted from Dominick's. Everything seems dirty. Produce is often overripe or rotten and tons of fruit flies. The meat and seafood counter smells rank. But the prices are still ridiculous despite how dumpy the store is. I go out of my way to shop elsewhere. read more

Mariano's is a great option for groceries in Western Springs. This store is easy to access at the corner of Gilbert and 47th. They have a large parking lot. Produce, Salad Bar, and Deli Counter all clean and fresh. This store offers options like Sushi, Olive Bar, fresh Baked Goods, and a Cheese Counter. Mariano Cheese Popcorn makes a great snack. The store is open and bright. They have free wi-fi for those who are the non-shoppers. I will return on my next trip to Chicago. read more

There is no customer service here. Mariano's has gone completely downhill since it was bought by Kroger... Time to find a new grocery store... read more

Run away from this place fast. I am seething **SEETHING** at the changes KROEGER has made to this great brand. KROEGER believes they can pass off the same sh!t they can get away with in the middle of Podunk nowhere because everybody in this country is stupid and will go along with their standardization changing a once great brand into a Food 4 Less. Chicagoans...WHY DO WE PUT UP WITH THIS?!?!? It happened to Dominick's. It's happening here. KROEGERS WHICH BOUGHT MARIANOS DOESN'T CARE. Hate this change into a Food 4 Less. Where do I start. I used to walk into the deli and try the salads and I swear, I loved EVERYTHING. Now, it's barely adequate. Everything is prepackaged from KROEGER. Everything. Employees are leaving to another "fresh market" place and for Pete's sake it's much better than this minimum hash up of Mariano's/Kroegers/Food4Less. The pizza they cook on the grill now made offsite. Used to be they would sell a slice after 8 for a dollar. Now the pizza area is shut down way before 8. The meat grill is closing at 2 now. Looks like they want to shut that down now. This place sucks. They've killed another great Chicagoland grocery chain. I try not to come here but I used to like the place SO MUCH. I can barely tolerate it now. Run away from this place fast. Run! read more

Post-Apocalyptic atmosphere. Narrow aisles that are made nearly impassable by multiple floor displays that conceal the shelved items. The concrete floors are uneven, with a patchy look that remains after they ripped out the tile from the old Dominick's. The entire store is too dark. And the produce section is terribly small, having been reduced to almost half its previous size to accommodate a liquor department. The produce bins are generally near-empty, offering the dregs passed over by others with more discerning palates. This is more of a glorified bodega than a modern suburban grocery. read more

Coming from a place where there are no real "exceptional" markets or grocery stores I was astonished at Mariano's Fresh Market. I wish with all my heart someone who runs the New Orleans, and surrounding area grocery stores would take lessons from the people who operate and run Mariano's! The produce is fresh and beautiful. The rest of the store is clean, well-stocked, and the staff is very helpful. I even convinced my friend to let me cook her and her family some artichokes because they were so fresh and gorgeous. She never buys them because she does not know how to cook them, so I got to treat her and her family to a dish they don't normally have. Thank you Mariano's for being a great neighborhood market! I'll be back next time I'm in town, and maybe I'll get to treat my friend and her family again to a great meal purchased at Mariano's! read more

An aisle marked, "vegan" shows how normal and mainstream healthy eating is.. What a breath of fresh air. Now, I may have been in a happy fog because I left the house by myself for the first time since my daughter was born 3 weeks ago. Nonetheless, I had the most magical experience at this store! The place looked great, from carts to aisles. Everyone I encountered was friendly in a normal way, not creepy and fake. The pianist in front of store (wtf, awesome) went a long way for ambiance! I was impressed that they incentivize to bring your own bag. Selection and quality are key here. Artisan, organic, tons of vegan options. It's harder to find non-organic produce than organic!! Amazing selections for vegetarians. Great salad, pizza, gelato and all that. Giant bulk bags of quinoa. I might get a sleeping bag and hide out in the wine dept! read more

I'm loving the grocery store war going on in the western 'burbs of Chicago. We've got 2 Trader Joe's, 2 Whole Foods, Standard Market, a Marianos, a Caputo's a bunch of little independents and the stale Jewel brand. Mariano's does a good job of staying current. The coffee shop, extensive salad bar, very tasty and reasonably-priced ready-to-eat pizza, the front-of -the-store juice bar are all cool characteristics. The buyers do a good job of knowing their mean demographic when predicting what to put on the shelves. All in, this place is a home run. My only minor recommendation would be to label the items in the "bagel, donut, muffin" display. I cannot tell what's inside a muffin just by looking at it. read more

Beautiful new store that just opened this week. So glad to have such a great replacement for Dominick's. I was only in there for 30 minutes, but I easily could have spent another hour in there just perusing aisles and chatting with the awesomely friendly staff. Obviously they just had their grand opening, but let's all keep our fingers crossed that they can keep up their current state. The store itself is immaculate, the staff is fantastically helpful, and the quality of fresh food and produce is outstanding. I'm also a fan of their prices. I hope they're not just sale prices for their opening, but it looked like the things that weren't on sale were very reasonably priced. Having been to another grocer on this same trip I can happily say that I found the same ingredient I needed $2 cheaper, and that wasn't a sale item! Keep up the good work Mariano's. I'll gladly be shopping here again as my primary grocer. read more

if you do not have the marianos card for deals omg are you screwed. This one is not my usual but foudn myself her recently of late... getting kinda kooky like some empty shelves , some half empty shelves, what is up here? Im scared hold me. No special variety or deals. Guess all the noise years ago about these stores was just that. read more

Mariano's is somewhat diminished, since it was acquired by Kroger. But the hot food buffet, the smoothy bar, sushi bar, the produce department, and the butcher are still first rate. And their prices, particularly on sales items, are usually lower than their potential merger partner, Jewel. read more

I didn't expect to like this store based on what I had heard about them. But, I was pleasanly surprised. Nice fresh produce, decent meat selection. They even had some of the Belgian beers I like! And the prices were better than I expected. They had a great sale price on wild, USA shelled raw shrimp this week. I don't live nearby, I had a doc visit at the same plaza so I just walked thru. But they are building one near me, and now I can't wait for it to open! The salad bar, olive bar and other deli areas looked clean and smelled fantastic. read more

The employees at the store remain friendly and helpful as before, but the store has dropped in quality and consistency for many years. Items remain out of stock for sometimes weeks, pre-dating the pandemic. The produce department has dropped off drastically since the remodel. Was there yesterday, middle of a Sunday afternoon, and there were no peppers, or cucumbers, no broccoli, etc..etc.. Check out the produce section at Tony's in Countryside. Now that's a grocery store. read more

Mariano's has become my new to-go place for groceries since it is closer to home than the local Jewel. It is easy to navigate through and you can't go wrong with a stop here. read more

At first, I really liked this grocery store. There were plenty of spaces in the parking lot, and it was really easy for me to park. The store was also clean and bright when I went inside. There is a nice selection of goodies. The stocks are nice, but, of course, there are some selections that are out of stock or almost out of stock. The most important things I needed were the meat and the produce, aside from the necessities I needed. The meat and produce departments of the store have a nice selection that looks really fresh and has really good quality after I consume it. I do not really have problems with their products, and in fact, I like their products not only because I was able to get everything, I needed but also because the prices here are reasonable compared to the other stores around. The only problem I experienced in this store was with its employees. Their employees are rude and they are not really nice, unlike at other stores where the employees are friendly and helpful. read more

Got the fried shrimp at 630pm, it was dry whe. I ate it. Woke the next morning with horrible pains. Doctor said I had food poisoning. It's been 3 days and this is horrible but getting better. Dont eat the hot bar. Lord knows how long that shrimp was out there for. read more

This store was formerly a Dominick's close to our home. For the last three + years or so. I have been shopping here since the "take over" by Mariano's in a pleasing environment and purchasing nourishing, fresh food UNTIL the recent remodeling. What a mess! I tried weekly shopping for 4 consecutive week end visits, since the recent remodeling, and FINALLY things were organized and the helpful staff, were finally not zombies as they were in the past few weeks. But what about the two dozen chicken wings, I purchased last Saturday from the butcher's counter? The buffalo spiced wings, which I was going to broil for an appetizer, wreaked of spoiled fowl upon opening the package. GAG and thanks for stinking up the kitchen with that effluvia! Bye my $$ I blew for these smelly and spoiled wings intended for our dinner guests. Good thing I had my other appetizers! The vegetable section is disorganized and overpriced ($1.25 for a bunch of cilantro). What? The wine section will NOT disappoint and is appreciated. This store is fine for items such as milk, their freshly, squeezed orange juice, shelf items and definitely for a GREAT wine selection. read more

Renee in Floral renewed my faith in Mariano's. He's got upper management written all over him.

I hate when I have to go grocery shopping right after I go grocery shopping. But after trying this place, I had to finish my shopping elsewhere. Yuck. I really wanted to love you, Mariano's. I did. I'm used to the fresh Elmhurst store, not this converted Dommies BS you've got going here in Western Springs. We came here last weekend and were pretty turned off by the gross produce that was half-rotten on a Sunday morning. We couldn't find things in your aisles. Why are some of your products of one type in one aisle, but others are in another? Crackers should be with crackers. Just sayin'. Energy bars should be with energy bars, not granola bars. I don't have time to play these games, Mariano's. Add to that your crazy Dominick's-level prices and you left me wanting more. A lot more. Sorrynotsorry but this was one and done for me. Bye now. read more

I come there only to buy your organic carrot juice. Would buy your celery juice if it was organic. The reason celery juice is so "trendy" now is because of the Medical Medium. But none of us that follow him would pollute our systems with a non organic juice. Just saying. If you want to actually sell more of this. Offer at least an organic version. 9/23/19 Went in today to get organic carrot juice as I didn't feel like juicing. There was only regular carrot juice. I said to produce employee "no more organic carrot juice?" He said we never had it. I said that is the only reason I ever came in this store. I've stood and had conversations with man that used to do the ORGANIC carrot juice. Not sure why anyone would shop here unless they are just into "pretty". They have the same produce often at Tony's for way less. But maybe it's a convenience thing for people. I would rather go to Whole Foods or Tonys or Brookhaven. At least I can buy things on sale at these places without being tracked with an app. ANDA THEIR SALE PRICES even with the app are high. read more

Can we have Dominick's back.... Having made several trips, given every second chance and it is clear that the Marinano team has missed the mark. So store not as large or cool as the Northern Mariano stores but everything from services to food to customer service poorly deployed. And their strengths not even close....pizza dried out, salad bar looks tired and bakery doesn't even smell fresh.....and produce blah. And the entire staff dazed and confused. It also must be contagious since we visited the formerly fun Vernon Hills store and now the lady in the Sushi area yelled....I mean really scolded us for not ordering in advance and then handed over the order to a young man who needed to refer to the guide book to assemble our fare.... Team Mariano get it together or get out of Dodge. read more

I was in the express line. The lines were moving pretty slow. The man ahead of me had about 5 items, I had 3 items, and the lady behind me had a bag of charcoal. A lady named Chris, that was working at customer service starting inviting people up to pay. She came over and looked into the man ahead of me's basket, counted his items and had him come up to pay. With the lines still moving slow she came back. I was expecting to get the same treatment, but she looked at me, looked in my cart, then ignored me and invited the lady behind me to come up. Very rude, not sure what her problem was or if I had done something to her. Left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I checked out the Western Springs Mariano's on Thursday at lunchtime during their opening week and came back for a closer look on Saturday morning. The store layout seemed pretty similar to the Dominick's it replaced, which would explain how they were able to open relatively quickly. I was impressed at the choices available at the hot food bar ($6.50 per pound), and the salad bar ($5.50 per pound) looked at least as good. Both of these areas were plenty busy when I arrived at lunch, but then again, it had the opening week hype going for it. Baked goods seemed to be of notably high quality. They offered a nice selection of both whole and half pies and a wide range of breads. I saw a gelato counter and a busy coffee stand. Lots of prepared food available for purchase. There was also a good-sized popcorn making spot which was churning out fresh popped corn. The bag of cheese popcorn was good...perhaps a small step down from Nuts on Clark. The cheese selection was notably smaller than what you'd find at Whole Foods or Standard Market, but seemed to be of good quality. The meat department was great. Lot of choices and of high quality. Prices on packaged goods seemed to be a little bit higher than Jewel and lower than Whole Foods. They did seem to have a greater variety of brands than the typical Jewel or Dominick's - particularly in the ethnic foods area. It's also nice to have what appears to be a strong house brand in Roundy's. There are plenty of checkout lanes, and the staff seemed to be very helpful. This may be an artifact of the grand opening week, but I am optimistic that they seem to really value a positive customer experience. I wish I had one of these closer to home. I could happily do 90% of my grocery shopping here if it were more conveniently located to my home. read more
