Yummy curry chicken salad
Reena G.

This place is small and great! We always come here for the sour cream potato salad. It's one of the best I have ever had. We were able to sample the chicken curry salad and loved it that I took some home back to Texas. It's filled with apples, cashews, raisins, and of course other ingredients. It's tastes really good and the curry is not overpowering! Definitely coming back for more chicken salad. The staff are friendly here as well.

I really like Straub's market and enjoy walking around and shopping here. I have been coming here for years. The location is quite convenient for me. There is ample parking on the lot. The employees are friendly. They carry some of my favorite items, such as: as huge variety of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream flavors and Kobe Beef patties for grilling burgers at $2.50 a patty. It's my main stop for picking up pints of Jeni's ice cream when I don't feel like driving down to the CWE to visit Jeni's, in person. I would say their prices are hit-n-miss, some items are prices high and some items aren't. I would suggest to check the sales ad for savings and the signs out front as you walk in. I love their fresh made items, such as: seasonal salsa varieties, chicken salad, soups, desserts, etc. It's a high end store with a casual vibe and feel.

For a long time I thought the best grocery store for prepared foods was Whole Foods. That was until my mom started bringing home Straub's prepared food, and then, I more or less stopped frequenting Whole Foods. I really do love Straub's. It keeps that city grocery store feel while still stocking a ton of different foods. That's probably why they are only located in areas that seem more "urban." I doubt we will be seeing a Straub's in O'Fallon or Arnold anytime soon...just not their scene. Though my my meat eating days are long gone, I have no forgotten how incredibly delicious their fried chicken is. Nor have I forgotten the wonderful creaminess of their ham salad. Also, if you are grilling, the apple bratwurst are probably some of the best I have ever had. Actually, writing this review is enough to make me fall off the vegetarian wagon, I need to focus on other aspects of this place before I start head out to McDonald's and do something I'll regret. They also have great dips for bringing to parties. I am a huge fan of the guacamole and their perky pepper dip is something completely different...sweet and spicey and creamy all at the same time. A word of warning: use the spoons they put out with the samples or you will get verbally harassed by the deli lady. She can be brutal and she takes her job monitoring those crackers and dips SERIOUSLY. Minus one star because, as well know, Straub's is proud of their little grocery store, and they CHARGE for that pride. I guess you can say they are charging for quality too, but how much can quality cost?

This was my first trip to Straub's. It was crazy busy Sunday, Holy Cow free samples every where, We got a few things from the deli, don't mind paying the price for gourmet salads.

Just a glimpse of the marinated meats. So many many more

One of our other favorite places to visit. They have a nice soup selection of 8 at any time. Clayton has more of a selection though. Walking in hits you with a coolness to your senses. Your nose tingles with the array of smells ranging from the coffee to the fliers, produce, etc. easy to just take stroll through and see what's new as well as visiting through the familiar isles. Yes the prices may be a bit steeper than other grocers but they are for convince and flare. There is so much to take in but wonderfully comforting and appealing. Everyone is friendly and knows the regulars. We often stop for the charred tomato soup or chicken salad mini sandwiches. The Greek slaw is the bomb!!!! Mouthwatering, tangy, sweet, vinegary and spice all at once monopolizing your taste buds. They offer pre packaged meals and a microwave to warm up your purchase. Freshly made sandwiches to your liking but they have an amazing selection of menu ideas listed . Some of the best dressings or sauces all made in house. Want a gorgeous cut of steak.. This is your place. Marinated meats of all flavor a, even ethnic... This is your place. Soup your thing but can't decide on one.... This is your place. Need a Jelly Belly or Bissinger fix.... Again this is your place. So much more I have failed to represent, well then check it out and add to the list of amazing treats they offer. Warning it is a bit pricey but plenty of options that won't break your wallet. Check out the wall case at the checkout with a selection of sodas that will make your head spin. No comparison to Rocket Fizz but a great representation of brands to choose from as well nice and chilled.

Always go for the meat counter. Butchers are very accommodating and their meats are the best...pricy but the best.

Nice little neighborhood grocery store, with a long history that also serves some great sandwiches!…read more We tried the Roma and Mary Jane sandwiches and loved both. All sandwiches come with a pickle spear and small bag of chips. The flavors were nice and fresh, with great taste! About $9 each and a good size. We sat and ate at the counter and read about the history of the building. Next time I want to get some of the side salads to try. The service was a bit odd, as there were 4 people behind the sandwich counter and 1 at the front/store register. The 4 folks were all talking to each other and didn't notice us for a bit. The guy who took the order seemed a bit upset and didn't really talk much. He sent me up front to pay and then said to come back in 5 min for the food. After a few minutes I came back and the other folks helped find the order. They were both very friendly, and helpful. Must have just caught the first guy in a bad moment. Is it a place for date night? No. It is worth going there and grabbing lunch to eat outside on a nice day? Hard "YES"! Great food at a good value and a local place, can't ask for much more than that!

Westwood Catering & Deli is right down the road from our house and we always see people dining…read moreoutside, so we decided to stop by and get a sandwich before we headed home. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything remarkable about our experience. The deli was... charming, but very, very old. There didn't seem to be AC and the box fans were not really doing much. We ordered our food to-go after seeing the inside. I ordered the Monty sandwich, a toasted roast beef sandwich with salami as well. The meat tasted rather low-quality and the sandwich was overly chewy. My mom's Westwood Sandwich, a chicken salad on croissant, was slightly better but nothing to write home about. The prices were great, and it's always nice to support a local business, but we would probably not give this place our business again.

I always love coming to Trader Joe's. This one is located in the Brentwood Promenade. Parking can…read morebe little crazy, but it's worth it just to come to Trader Joes. I came in to buy flowers but ended up leaving with Salmon Burgers, Elote Street corn flavoured tortilla chips and chocolate chunk cookies (Yum)!!! Their flowers are always so fresh and pretty, and always makes me want to buy them all. Their produce and meat is always fresh. They are always well stocked with goodies. Their prices are unbeatable. The layout of the store is easy on the eyes, and always clean.They always have amazing and friendly staff that's always willing to help and make small talk with you. You can never go wrong with making a trip to Trader Joe's. I guarantee that you will walk out with something!

I got hooked on this Trader Joe's when I worked in the area and even though I don't live close this…read moreis still my go to store. Everyone knows the parking here is a mess so I will just move on. The staff here is great; they are always friendly and willing to help. They are visible all over the store, always replenishing and stocking and being present. Its busy here no matter the day or the time so as long as you know this, there isn't anything to get fussy about. I love their floral department, I don't like my husband or kids to get me flowers from anywhere else, they are reasonably priced and always last so long! The frozen food section just keeps getting more and more frozen meals and such, so many options! I love the Soup Dumplings, and the Chicken Tika Masala, always get excited for the new things I find. Dark Russet chips a so think and crispy and not as expensive as other brands. Don't miss out on their greeting cards! I stock up on those so I always have a selection at home. For whatever reason, there are a few places I never remember to check in and this is one of them. I have to do better :)
