Growing up at Schnucks, I guess that habit just stuck with me as an adult. Though not sure why I continue to give this location my business. They're one of the most expensive grocery stores in Columbia but somehow can't manage to keep fresh produce from molding and wilting on their shelves. More times than not in the past 6 months, I've found rotten fruits and vegetables and expired labels on organic juices. Please do better. read more

Dana, at the Schnucks Forum location, is a treasure!! I have a hard time finding items at Schnucks compared to other stores and when I couldn't find a particular cereal, I wandered around until Dana helped me. The Kashi cereals are in the Non Gluten area (FYI!!). She was very professional, kind and understanding. I appreciate having considerate people to ask questions to but sometimes people just can't be bothered. Not here!! Thank you, Dana!!! read more

schnucks has got to be my favorite grocery store but service at this location was not good. the employees working checkout were highly rude

Unprofessional behavior by a customer service staff , but in watching that staffs interaction with another customer she was friendly, but with me as I am leaving this staff starts to yell at me and kept talking over me. Seems like a store for only certain people read more

I absolutely love your store however I received a floral arrangement two days ago that was more than subpar. I phoned your florist Debbie who wanted to be combative about the freshness of her Lillys rather than empathetic about the fact they have all died. Following that I called your customer service department who never asked for my name or phone number and just wanted to rush me off the line. Unfortunately it's left quite a sour taste in my mouth and I don't feel like I can continue to do business with your organization, which is a shame. Next to Luckys you're the best store in town. My advice is some customer care coaching. read more

See all

I've been ordering here almost weekly for 8 months. Today I got my entire order canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow night!!!! I called and this sweet young man was walking the phone over to BETH a manager and she wouldn't take the phone. I'm madder about that than I am about no dinner tonight and no dessert for a luncheon I had volunteered dessert to, tomorrow read more

Tonight was the last straw with Schnucks. When we moved here 2.5 years ago, we were thrilled to see an alternative to Hy-Vee, driving 15 minutes out of our way to come here instead. Within the last year, the quality of meat, produce, and the cheese selection have steeply declined. We used to purchase their $20 meat boxes until 3 in a row has spoiled meat - I refused to buy them anymore. I am hesitant to buy any meat from given the number of times we have arrived home to find the meat was rotten, but I assumed that the vacuum packed ribs that were dated "sell by Novenber 15" were safe. I was wrong. We bought these on Saturday (November 2, for those counting) and attempted cooking them today (November 6) for dinner. As soon as I opened the (vacuum sealed) bag, the smell of bad pork hit me. I thought I was being overly sensitive and decided to cook them in the hope that they would magically get better. Wrong again - the dry rub smelled great, they were cooked perfectly, but it still couldn't cover up the smell of rotten pork. Completely inedible and almost certainly capable of inducing rapid and horrifying gastrointestinal distress. Schnucks, I don't know what has happened in your meat department over the last year, but figure it out. Maybe your refrigerators are broken, maybe meat isn't getting put away in a timely manner, maybe meat isn't getting packed properly, I dont know. What I do know is that you've now lost a customer permanently. read more

I had a review removed. Don't believe Yelp that a business cannot remove a negative review. This store is the most poorly run one in Columbia. Specifically, Schnucks doesn't care how poor the customer service is at this store. Outside of the Grocery and Deli Manager being great, the Customer Service Department and the Store Manager could learn more about being responsive to customers. Problem-free shopping can be found elsewhere in Columbia. read more

I don't know why all the negative reviews as I have been shopping here at the Schnucks on Fourm and Stadium for 15 years now. I have never had a bad experience here! The staff are always very friendly. The selection is very good and prices are in line with other stores in Columbia. They have the very best meat counter in town and the store made sausages are amazing. Also very good produce. Overall a great store with great people! read more

Super friendly, helpful staff. Much more interesting and wider selections than more pedestrian ones at HyVee, Gerbes. Strengths are cheeses, other dairy items, produce. Good sale items. Smells clean, unlike other (above). It's a relaxed, pleasant shopping experience after a busy or stressful day. read more

Being from KC area, this was the first opportunity I had to visit a Shnucks. Right off the bat I got a sense of being inside Hyvee. They had nice decorations, aisles were clean and presentable. With that being said I can't really rate the place based on their produce selection, but more so on the first impression I got from the store. I did find the prices to be on the higher-end side from other stores I've visited in my hometown. The cheese aisle was long, so props to them for having a large variety. Wine seemed to be cheaper but not by much. I actually ended up buying meat because they had a great especial ($0.99/lb porkbutt) although I was there just as company. I also got a steal on butter for $1.00 (forgot the amount but it was a decent sized plastic container). I'm sure they have good quality of food, considering a lot of people shopped there (including college students from what I could tell). read more

This review is for the PREPARED FOODS in the salad bar/deli area. Within the space of two weeks, due to being on the run at lunch time, I've stopped in for prepared food twice. The first time, I got an orzo salad from the salad bar. After driving off with it, I discovered it was rancid. A strong chemical smell was coming from the salad. I dumped that one. Today, I got a sandwich and green beans from the deli area. The sandwich was fine. No problems there. The "szechuan green beans" were raw. Literally, raw, with the oil/sesame seeds on top of raw green beans. I wouldn't even classify these beans as 'undercooked.' No more wasting money in this part of the grocery store! read more

Theresa at customer service needs to do a better job and stop being crabby to customers and guests to her store. Her behavior is inappropriate and she has no common sense how to run a store. read more

Generally a good store but be alert to expiration dates. I recently found chips well beyond the package date and meat with a new sell-by date label pasted over the original expiration date. read more

Their beef and pork are truly miserable. We've lived a few blocks from the store for years and shop there for bananas, eggs, yogurt and some produce, but after trying the beef and pork many times, we've sworn off; we buy all of our beef and pork at other stores, especially Hy-Vee which has some reliability over time. Why Schnucks can't sell good beef and pork is only a question they can answer; they apparently are cutting corners. I truly wish they could stock and sell a quality product. read more

i alternate between schnucks and hyvee. i have found schnucks to have superior produce selection over hyvee. if you are looking for something unusual, there is a better chance schnucks will have it. they also have a very large specialty cheese selection, and a very decent (2 long aisles worth) selection of wines. prices seem to be comparable to hyvee (maybe even a little cheaper on some things). staff is always very friendly. read more

Be careful with their fresh food bar. Went in today and noticed an employee was emptying out what was left of the old pre-made salads (tuna, broccoli, etc.) into new containers of salads he had just placed in the bar. Then mixing them all together. Against my better judgment, I got some anyway. Wrong! Have had onset of stomach cramps and diarrhea since about an hour after eating it. I'm wondering if the food bar is a 24-hour thing and they are continually mixing remnants of days-old salads in with the new stuff? read more

This is a GREAT grocery store! If you are new to town and looking--stop here! It is a nice store, has a great variety and the produce and meat are fresh. The employees are helpful, without being disgustingly in-your-face-sweet (ugh) and they do have the self-checkout. They also have a coffee shop, floral, liquor and pharmacy department. The store is new, clean and has a very modern look on the inside. read more

This is not a store that you can stop in real quick. You HAVE to check all the expiration dates because they sell expired food. Also, walk by the prepackaged meat... you'll find a lot of gray chicken and off colored steaks. My fiancé stopped by there really quick the other night and checked the expiration date on every item but one, and guess what? That one item was over SEVEN MONTHS EXPIRED! When I took the item back to the store the manager or sales lead looked at the item and the receipt and said "well I find that really hard to believe that he got that here." The employees at this store are lazy and rude. I only shop there because it is 1 block from our apartment and will never shop there once I move out of this area. The thing that scares me the most is that someone is going to get seriously ill from some of this expired food and they just want to blame the customers. All of the employees should be fired and they should start fresh. read more

So I wish they kept up on the reputation of their Schnucks stores out of St. Louis area. The prices are the same as STL stores, but compared to places like Gerbes or Hyvee, it's actually really pricey. I wish they took that into consideration... It was also out of the way for even Mizzou students. I think the only reason this was the grocery store I shopped at the most in Columbia during school was because it was familiar. read more

Wow- Tried using the delivery service to send groceries to someone in Columbia,Mo- Not a good experience.

Your Courtesy Counter was apparently closed to me as a customer [and after being watched checking out and bagging $170-plus worth of groceries beforehand], but not to an off-duty employee at the Courtesy Counter a few minutes earlier. The off-duty employee was assisted at the Courtesy Counter from the Courtesy Clerk [named Aaron], who the entire time I was scanning my groceries through the self-checkout was just standing around and not otherwise helping to check out several customers that were stacked 5-plus in each line, nor help me get through the self-checkout more efficiently. Courtesy Clerk Aaron first ignored me while I stood at the Courtesy Counter, then when another employee told him I needed help at his actual duty station, he subsequently refused to assist me citing that he was too busy holding up the empty self-checkout counter. Why on earth would he not be helping with customers in either the check-out line and/or the courtesy counter when needed, especially if he was not otherwise trying to lend a hand in any capacity? Why would an off-duty employee have his undivided attention at the Courtesy Counter, but not a customer he watched check out in the self-checkout with over $170 in groceries without lifting a finger to help? Why is it acceptable to use being busy despite not actually helping in any capacity in any department? I can understand if a decision was made that the Courtesy Counter was temporarily closed and Aaron was actually helping with check-out [either in-person or self-checkout], but he wasn't. He is using the "we are too busy" to shirk work, nothing more, nothing less. The bigger problem is that this store is always understaffed at check-out. This poor attitude and lack of customer service acumen is completely unacceptable and your main competitor in Columbia [Hy-Vee] would never use being too busy to refuse to assist customers either at check-out or at the Courtesy Counter. My past experiences is that the Grocery and the Deli Manager are very customer service driven, but not this Courtesy Counter employee [Aaron]. It is unfortunate that one lazy, bad apple sets the tone at this store. read more

"Hello! How's your world treating you?" The barista inside the Kaldi's coffee joint inside Schnucks fills this entire space with his warmness Not only does he talk to every person with a striking genuineness that most millennials like myself might first perceive as sarcasm, but he actually speaks at length with older customers who respond by telling him exactly how their world is treating them. Love getting lunch here since you can grab anything from the soup, salad or other bars in the deli section and bring it over. Love Kaldis coffee. Love that every barista and customer in here exudes warmth and friendliness to one another. read more

The prices are a bit high and they don't have draft beer like Lucky's on Providence. Fine store, but selection is minimal and there are really no deals. It's almost like going to a convenience store where you are in a hurry and don't care how much you pay. read more

Schnucks is the best supermarket in Columbia to shop in my opinion hands down. They have upper end products as well as the basic needs all for a reasonable price. Meat, seafood, and bakery are all fantastic. The remodeling they did truly made them the place to shop in Columbia. read more

While the prices at Shcnucks are pretty high when compared to Hy-Vee or Wal-Mart, I can't help but be drawn back into this store again and again. They double coupons, which is wonderful. They have pretty frequent 10/10 sales. They usually aren't terribly busy during the week and the store is pretty easy to maneuver without tons of stocking associates blocking the aisles like so many other stores. Their pharmacy is fast and efficient. Their produce is usually fresh and abundant. All in all a good store, just wish they would come down on prices a little bit. read more

Schnucks is my favorite place to buy groceries in Columbia, although I go to Natural Grocers quite a bit as well. Schnucks has the best produce selection in Columbia. They have a nice selection of other groceries as well. Prices are pretty reasonable and the staff is always very friendly. read more
