I had never heard of standard market until I got to town and the outside caught my attention so I had to go. They have a market they have a grill and they have a produce section out of this world as well as a coffee shop that was fantastic. Well, I forgot to take pictures of my food and drink. I was able to observe every other thing that was in that store and if I lived there, I would be there all the time. It's kind of like Whole Foods and a local operation partner together to create a very unique niche. Working with the staff was a breeze, and I would recommend anybody who wants to check this concept out. Pay a visit. read more

Came during a lunch break by a coworkers recommendation and it didn't disappoint! We tried the little cantina in front. $13 for 2 full of protein tacos and a Diet Coke is not a bad lunch deal! They also had a help yourself bar of salsas and pickled veggies, jalapeños and anything you'd want to top your taco, burrito, quesadilla, etc with. I'd totally come back to the cantina! There's tons of seating for the cantina and market itself. Love good for a quick lunch! Don't have to fight for a seat! The market itself is on the high-end side. I love that they have dinner kits packed. Very helpful on those nights you wanna take the guess work out of dinner. They have a full on butcher section so you can find a protein you want. Also some plant based alternatives, too. They have a bakery loaded with goodies. Nice size market to shop. There's more to explore here so I'm gonna come back for sure! read more

Standard Market was a go to spot for me about 5-7 years ago to get specialty snacks and dinner options. Revisiting today, it seemed a bit underwhelming. The greatest perk that Standard Market had to offer is all the to-go meals they offer! They have pizza, sandwiches, salads, sushi, coffee, and more that can be grab and go. On top of this, they have their Standard Market Grill, Tacos & Margaritas, and The Cube which all have ordering food and drink menus. The downfall lies within the grocery side. Their selection seems more limited than years past. Their prices are a bit of a premium so I wouldn't recommend doing all grocery shopping here. read more

We attended the beer pairing dinner, and we were blown over at the quality of the meal and the lovely atmosphere. The beer was provided by Phase 3 brewing and they had a delicious assortment of perfectly paired brews with each of course of the meal. read more

Everything is delish - and fresh. Even the floral dept is great. I bought a framed art piece twice - because I loved it so much and didn't realize I already purchased it from them earlier! I particularly love the marinated checked that is shrink wrapped - ready to cook. Very flavorful and easy to prepare. One drawback - you'll pay for the ease and quality. But, you won't regret it! I haven't eaten at the restaurants, but I'm sure they are fantastic! read more

Food was amazing we actually went there 2days in a row. Very nice and calming place we definitely will be back

Food is good. Service is okay. Return policy seems like they're very hesitant to exchange items. Ambiance is clean.

I hadn't been to Standard Market for more than 1 year. I bought a few brands I have liked, tried a minestrone soup.. it was acceptable, took for lunch 3 BBQ.ribs okay but I remove the membrane when I cook , not so chewy . Then I took home a TV dinner. Their brand.. Salisbury steak.. big problems!!! I should say before this negative review that I was a Restaurant / catering , room service Mgr at a 500 room hotel in Loop and several restaurants and served for 4 large Caterers thru the years. I also owned a catered business lunch business for several years. Sooo. The TVDinner said 350°fir 20 minutes. OMG the brownie was still almost liquid w tester , meat still frozen in the center and the.large bay leaf on top useless. The mashed potatoes are not anything but a mashed potatoes w a pat of butter... Dry and mealy, the carrots even adding in increments of 20 minutes more, still hard some shriveled. Bad, no horrible!! Don't attempt something if you are not versed in cooking methods of varied items.. cooking is a science!! Oh, AND I started cooking at about 11 years old watching Julie Child daily in the summer.. not bragging, but I consider myself a gourmet cook with vast repertoire and would get applause at my business luncheons. Friends have had me help at holiday parties too. I have tasted your foods before. And have eaten there too. Very amateurish, definitely chef school quality. Just lack of food knowledge. At your prices you should reconsider who you hire and get qualified chefs!! read more

The shopping experience here is similar to that of Whole Paycheck (foods). One nice feature is that a gourmet fast casual eatery is contained within. A fast casual taco establishment is featured as well. Another nice feature is The Cube. The Cube is a wine bar which has gourmet cheese and alcohol available. I was able to procure Rouge River blue cheese which is exclusively available here and only between Thanksgiving and Christmas so go snatch it up. Another gourmet delight is the pizza by the slice which is available at the deli. The hot bar selection is not as extensive compared to what is available at Whole Foods, but I prefer the overall shopping experience at this establishment. read more

Not only do they have an amazing grocery selection, but there's also a great bar up front with awesome lunch and dinner options. You can even grab a bottle of wine from the shelf and they'll open it for you with no corking fee. Truly one of the best deals around. read more

This is a local market with Malibu vibes. From the moment you park your car, you'll notice a chić, relaxed environment. Inside, you'll find a floral selection, coffee bar, sushi bar, wine lounge and even a restaurant with seasonal outdoor dining. All the employees are very friendly and inviting! I purchased an iced matcha latte, a couple of macarons, and one of their custom made dinner bags. I also like their crab cakes! Overall, I highly recommend Standard Market for anyone seeking a top-notch, enjoyable shopping experience. read more

What a wonderful market with so many cooked and ready to eat foods. The quiches were so delicious and made from scratch. The sushi bowls were good as was the sashimi. Great service except for some younger employees who were texting non stop on their phones instead of responding to customers requests. Overall outstanding market. read more

Standard Market - the produce section of a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Westmont, Illinois

The prices are getting out of hand. $6 for a tiny slice of pie? Wtf. I mean common. $14 for a SMALLER take-home pizza when you used to be able to get big ones for less? I still don't know why they brew counter culture coffee. That stuff is horrible. That's just as bad as drinking Metropolis. So I do not buy brewed coffee or lattes here. Carry and brew something respectable such as Philz. read more

We splurged recently when we bought meals for neighbors isolated with Covid. The pot roast dinner w mashed potatoes and green beans was delicious. Beef was a bit fatty, but the flavor (with mushroom gravy) was delicious! We can't always 'eat like the rich people eat' but it was very tasty and we will return. But wow, my wife bought pizza dough but we ended up going to Mariano's for the sauce because she felt the Standard Market price was obscene! The service folks are excellent, the store aisles and displays were spotless and the attached restaurant was full of eaters who looked happy! And their meals smelled wonderful! read more

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE GROCERY STORE, NOT THE ATTACHED RESTAURANT For well over a decade Friday and Saturday nights were go out to eat (or order in) nights. After recently crunching the numbers, we realized how much we spent on all that restaurant food! So Friday switched to grocery store meal pick up night. Standard Market is THE PLACE for picking up packed and complete fresh made meals. Their packs feed the whole fam. Enchiladas and rice, grilled chicken, veggies, and potatoes, teriyaki chicken, taco kits, a variety of tasty soups, and more. Round the corner and you can pick up some awesome hot foods at the deli. Their pizza is well beyond what you would expect from grocery pizza, with a chef popping pies fresh from the oven behind the counter. There's hot chicken, a wide variety of deli salads and foods. Now if you want to be bad, round the corner again and you'll see a gourmet looking dessert case. There's also an epic butcher section, freshly made sushi, that wine and cheese shop. More fun to stroll than Whole Foods, with an emphasis on fresh gourmet selections and attention to detail. And unlike Whole Foods, you can still find your fave grocery brands here like Coke, Pepsi, etc. read more

Standard Market - Chicken Enchiladas to go - Grocery Near Me - Westmont, Illinois

While in Chicago I was trying to do shopping and stores to find some of the items that I can't find in Florida. I had some stores in mind that I didn't get to but I did find a few things while traveling about. I was hanging out with my friend and they suggested going here as they carried a good variety of things in the realm of what I was hoping to find. When we got here they exclaimed about how much this place had changed since they were last year. They used to have a huge bakery as part of it which is gone now and now contains a lot more grocery items. We did find a lot of great things and we both made purchases. One thing that we were both a bit excited about was finding Quisp cereal. It was one of my favorite cereals when I was younger and it has become near impossible to find anywhere. They picked up a box for their wife who also really enjoys it. They have a really nice selection of wines and cheeses, just not the ones I was hoping to find. We were also hoping to find some coleslaw to go with dinner but they were already all out of it. This was not an issue as we did find quite a few other items worth purchasing. The store is very large and easy to shop. They also have two restaurants attached and I would love a chance to try them. The people that work there were quite friendly and the checkout was very efficient. The one product line I was really excited to see in the store was Amish country popcorn. I'm a big fan of their products and have used several of them. I generally shop them online but if I was local I would come here to pick up some of the items they have available. If they had had a wider variety I probably would have picked up a few things. read more

I like the food but the employees are not great which impacts my willingness to shop here. Especially the catering area. They make themselves seem so busy they cant get anything done and so many employees to do the job of a few. Paying a premium for food I expect better customer service. read more

It's been awhile since I last shopped here. Previously , the food was fresh and generally worth the high prices. Recently, bought several items for a quick dinner. The Italian beef take-home was almost inedible. The beef was tough, stringy and tasteless. The potato salad from the deli tasted off ...almost spoiled. (Jewel potato salad is much better at a lower price.) Not sure if Standard Market has gone "downhill" or if I just had an isolated bad experience. read more

Standard Market management/higher-ups are doing some shady business to their dedicated, valuable employees, which also takes advantage of their customers. I think customers deserve to know that when they added an optional tip screen at the cafe about a month back, they knocked off $5 PER HOUR from their employees' pay, claiming that they would make it all back with tips from the new tipping system. The employees' pay was cut, even if they just got a raise. This is obviously BS and wrong, because Standard Market is now profiting a ton off of huge pay cuts to their employees, while expecting the customers to make up the difference. To me, it's seedy, sleazy work by Standard Market. Shop at stores that actually care for their employees, because we all know that dedicated, valued employees are the heart of any store. Don't shop at places where they pay their employees $10/hour. You will get lower-quality products from beaten down, disrespected workers. read more

I have been coming to this location for several years. I would tell people that it was an upscale market with expensive food but the quality justified the prices. The meat department was always providing quality products including Duroc and Berkshire pork. This was a store for special occasions and when you felt like spoiling yourself. Tonight I walked in and wandered down to the meat and seafood department. From afar I noticed that they had some whole red snappers. If you look at the included pictures you will see what was sitting on ice waiting to go home with somebody. The fish were dull, dry, no sheen with sunken dry eyes. I didn't need to pick them up to know they probably stunk. They looked like a fish that has laid in the bottom of a boat in the sun all day. What bothers me is that the fish monger would leave this on the ice and try to pawn it off on somebody. I would love to see him feed it to his family. It will probably wind up in something in the Standard Grill, a perfect place to funnel old product. I hate to say it but Standard Market should be called Substandard Market. read more

Amazing store. My sister (Yelp Elite) sent me the link so I started looking at the reviews & there are 1/2 dozen Yelp Elites that I have become friends with over the past few years that have been here. Uhhhh hello I feel like Johnny come lately. The store is like a candy store for foodies with the incredible selections of fresh fish, seafoods, meats (especially the steaks). A little pricey but beautiful selections. Unfortunately one of the reviewers mentioned a specific item that sounded soooo good I knew going in that's what I was going to buy. After a quick trip around the store I went and ordered what I came for. The herb encrusted focaccia, toasted Panini style w/roast beef sandwich with blue cheese & caramelized onions. The bread really makes a huge difference in the quality of the sandwich. The focaccia was pressed and toasted with a nice chewy consistency that I feel makes a huge difference in the sandwich. The roast beef was lean and nice & rare the way I like my beef. Adding the caramelized onions & bleu cheese was the perfect compliment to a great sandwich. Will I go back again? Absolutely when there are so many options available. They also have a taco bar which I want to check out and a wine and cheese shop. So many options everything is beautifully presented and laid out. read more

Ordered a cheeseburger to go that was raw on the inside and smelled. After more than a few bad experiences, I will never shop here again. Bought fish that had tiny white worms and chicken that wasn't fresh. Obviously there are issues with management, suppliers and fresh food that is kept around way too long. I would also add that the people handling food are not practicing sanitary protocols. Not worth the high prices at all! read more

Love this market - They have exactly what you need without all of the other crap that larger grocery stores carry...which minimizes your time spent walking thru to locate what you need quickly High quality foods Big fan! read more

This place seems to be like a yuppy version of Wholefoods. More of a boutique of a grocery store with a restaurant. They get their items from locally grown areas. It's a hidden gem cause the building looks like a plain white looking barn and you'll sure pass it if you weren't looking for it. The place sells high quality products. They have a nice wine/beer bar in the back where they sell wines, beers, and different cheeses. There's also an out door area facing the main road as well. If you want to eat in this wine bar area, you would have to get your food take out from the restaurant and bring it there which we did one time..pizzas and salads. They offered us wine flights and they will even open and server your bought wine for you at no cost! They have a nice selection of breads and pastries made on the premises. I've bought some stuff from here...just remember they don't take cash at the registers (something about man power counting and managing cash boxes). So bring your credit cards or bring your cash to the customer service desk and they will exchange your cash to a gift card. You can also replenish the gift card as your card for this place if you wish. The restaurant area is the main reason why I would come back here again and again. You order your food then they will bring it to you. You even get a server for our table! I've eaten in the patio area during the summer, in the semi patio with doors, and also inside by the bar table area where you can watch TV (look food network is on!) or sports or watch the cooks making your food. I LOVE their Steakhouse burger with sweet potato fries. It's high quality food so you'll be paying more than $10 bucks for a main dish. Their salads are good and their pizzas too. Everything is fresh and so yummy. I haven't tried their deli sandwiches yet, but plan to! I even tried their seasonal grilled halibut for dinner, wow I wanted more please! So fresh and lite! Soups of the day were all good, I like their chilli. My favorite is a free warm little brownie that's in a Standard Market package that is given to you once you're done eating. Sometimes the food might be much that you're able to take the rest of your food home. The best is free flavored water (they have these water containers filled with plain water, water with fruit like watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew, cucumbers, and even citrus like orange, lime, or lemons, etc. I would go out of my way to eat here. To shop there, only when I plan to eat there. I wouldn't go out of my way to shop there as I would go to Wholefoods or Caputo's for my organic products. Price sales seems to be a bit cheaper than here. read more

I'm not 100% sure what to think of Standard Market. High prices and generally good service, yet some major gaps that keep it from being 5 stars. Pros: - Some great products unavailable or difficult to find elsewhere, for example: Standard Market label prepared Quiche, Nueske's Bacon, some excellent prepared meal kits (Pork Tenderloin in "plum sauce?" purchased yesterday with mashed potatoes and salad...best I've ever bought in a prepared kit), good and freshly-prepared Sushi items - Fairly quick check out lines - Strong meat counter with lots of options - Generally very good service with employees that go out of their way to help - Generally attractive interior design and layout Cons: - Can someone PLEASE clean the hand baskets? Could grow produce in some of them. This is a factor on every visit. Just dirty. - Not enough market penetration in the suburbs of Chicago (I drive from Glen Ellyn to Westmont...roughly 25 minutes passing a lot of competitors) - Not sure I trust the prepared foods in the food bar near the deli section (food looked over-held and dried out in last visit) - Deli could, and should, use a numbering system (last visit, waited a long time, eventually walked away to get other stuff, and came back to the end of a longer line) - Very limited selection in some departments, for example, the dairy case (not everyone wants full fat yogurt from Iceland) I will keep going there as they have some anchor items I can't find elsewhere, which is, I'm sure, part of their marketing strategy. The quiche, alone, is worth the drive. Good, yet not great. "The Devil is in the details". read more

This market has a lot of specialty items--if you're on a particular diet or you can afford prepared-meals for every meal, then this is the place for you. I have stopped in for dinner a few times or to meet up with a friend, and they always have good, fast options. The Naperville location used to have good deals on seasonal produce--so if you watch the flyer, then that can work to your advantage. The only reason why I wouldn't give this place five stars is that it is so expensive. Unless you are a dual-income household, then the prices really are off-putting. I do understand that it is high quality, but it makes WHF look like a grocery-outlet. Last of all, I am attaching my recent salad. You can tell that the salmon portion and salad as a whole were generous--so if you need a quick place to meet a date or a friend after work, then check it out. read more

Standard Market - Berry or seasonal salad with salmon - Grocery Near Me - Westmont, Illinois

Yeah, so The Don pizza was a terrible disappointment. Clearly chef must have been smoking more than Salmon on the day that he came up with the idea for this pizza. The idea of the peppers with the basil and honey sounded good at first (I ended up omitting the honey because it was for my son) If you use peppers on a pizza, especially this variety of pepper, REMOVE THE SEEDS! THEY TASTE TERRIBLE AND ADD A WEIRD UNNECESSARY TEXTURE wtf?! The pizza was charred too and not in the way you might find pleasurable. Strike 2 read more

I've been coming here for years, I actually remember when they first opened. It's a very nice upscale grocery store with the conveniences of having a wine tasting area, full restaurant, butcher, and sushi counter. My favorite parts are the restaurant, fresh flowers, and heat & serve dinners. Perfect for weekday quick meals, just put in the microwave or oven to have a full, balanced meal in 30mins. The restaurant has delicious food, cooked to order, and a full bar. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars are the prices. You can get 5 grocery items and easily spend over $50. Probably not practical for everyday shopping for most people, but great for high end items. read more

Obviously, this place has 4 stars for a reason, so let me hurry up & get the "con" out of the way: As a resident of Elmwood Park, I found out abt this place via a website called "Common Good", where SM is listed as a "refill station". According to CG's website, customers can bring their empty plastic containers to Standard Market & fill them up with laundry detergent, hand soap, and an all-purpose cleaner. I WAS ELATED, hence the reason why I drove 15 miles for the experience. NEWS FLASH: Standard Market is NOT a refill station despite the fact that it's listed as such online. Now, I know what you - a tech savvy yelper - is thinking: "Why didn't you just call before driving so far to confirm?" I DID. I spoke with a customer service rep who told me that I didn't need to bring my containers to the customer service station to be weighed prior to filling them. WELL THATS ODD, SEEING HOW THESE FILLING STATIONS DONT EXIST. I have this really bad habit of giving ppl the benefit of the doubt so let's just hope that the CSR was running on autopilot, aka tell customers what they want to hear so the phone conversation can end sooner than later. However, I did speak to the very approachable manager who apologized for the mixup, and honestly, a personable manager always makes up for a crappy situation in my book. The manager did say that they weren't even aware of the listing on CG's site & that it was not a partnership that was being explored. BUMMER. I guess I'll just have to continue to throw my single use plastics in a landfill - or start my own refilling station. Are any investors reading this? Let's talk. ON THE PLUS SIDE: the sushi here is delicious!!! If my body disagrees with that statement w/I the next 45 minutes, I'll update this post. Despite the mixup, I'd still say stop by. They have a HUGE wine room (talk abt knowing your demographic) and a lot of fancy cheeses to match. read more

Great high end market. Everything on display except some ground turkey looked excellent. They have there own corned beef. Sushi bar, salad bar, lot of really nice premade looking meals. The desserts looked like the baker made pastries that were on steroids. The cheese and salamis looked Delilah. Wish they sampled the salamis. Had the hangar steak sub, was good liked the flavors but was a little overwhelming . The asagio bread was so good. Marinated hangar steak with arugula, caramelized onion, blue cheese .was really good but think it was a tad overpowering with the. Complexity of all those flavors. They had fruit and citrus waters available. Lemon lime and berry water. The dining room was so nice. Sat on the porch and lunched by the fireplace. Also fresco seasonal seating facing parking lot. Near the cheese and salami section there w is a charcuterie bar.in a enclosed atrium . I would definitely revisit this read more

Standard Market disappointed again this morning. AT 8:00 am I went to buy the advertised Christmas-Dinner-for-Two. Nope, sold out. No willingness to make more.

With only the 2 of us, wife and decided to go store bought from Std Market. Not perfect, but I'm giving 5 stars. My wife is an outstanding cook, so standards are high. Turkey is the main deal, and this turkey was moist and flavorful. My guess is brined. A little salty, but is juicy breast meat is the pay off, sold. American style over whipped potatoes can ruin a meal. These looked over whipped, but the taste was very good. If American style is your taste, box ticked. We are big fans of cranberry relish, Std Market boom, outstanding. It was just us two, but in a jam, I would not hesitate to serve family and guests. read more

New York Rye - best ever, have been buying it for years. I never have it sliced, bring it home put it in 375 oven for 18 -20 minutes, let it cool for at least one hour before slicing it. Who made that bread? What did they do with it? Now it's been replaced with "Caraway rye" which is also a good bread, but tastes like it has more whole wheat, just not the same ): Please, please bring back the greatest New York rye!, read more

Coming into town from Florida, I called the day prior to see if they carried Mauro provisions giardiniera. I was told they do, but they did not have any in stock. I was trying to pick up six jars to be able to take home in my luggage. The girl who answered the phone was very helpful oh, and said she would conta ct the vendor about getting some in so that I can purchase it the following day. She was even prompt about calling me back letting me know that it would be in by 12 noon. I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to get my jars of veggies. Fast forward to the next day. We arrive on our plane and get to Standard Market about 11:20 a.m. we were a bit early but when I went to the service desk nobody had a clue what I was talking about. I was told that the cases would all be left at the service desk and that I could pick from the cases and purchase them there. Multiple people had no idea what I was talking about as the person who was so kind that they prior never left word or note with anybody. We decided to go eat in the cafe and wait till after 12:00 noon. The cafe by the way was just a bunch of overpriced mediocre food. Either way we came back at almost 12:30, and still nothing had arrived from Mauro provisions. I knew their location was in Lisle and that it was not very far from the location in Westmont of the store. I was told they would be there within 10 minutes. We waited another 20 minutes. I happened to venture back to the area where they kept the product on the shelf, and found some jars pushed all the way to the back. Instead of waiting what seems like forever for something that wasn't coming, I grabbed the jars from the shelf, and went to pay for them at the checkout. For a store that started out being excellent with service and making me feel impressed, they failed and I was disappointed. Not only did they tell me they didn't have any product in stock, and that it was pushed all the way back on the Shelf and in stock, they also failed to get the product in when they told me it would be there multiple times. It would have been really nice if the staff knew and the girl had left a note that we were coming. I guess it's no loss because next time all of this order it directly from the company I have it shipped. It's not like I will be coming back to shop in the store since I don't live in the area. read more
