The service I received today was very poor. Cashier needs customer training. She got user after she scanned an item I told her I was paying. She rolled her eyes out of frustration. The floor senior was not helpful either. She ignored the self check of I went to to scan my liquor and walked over to the cashier of whom gave me an attitude. Since she took her tie coming back I walked out. read more

I am visiting my family and unfortunately one of my kids have Six Food Allergy Elimination Diet. So, I decided to go shopping for him at this grocery store. Sadly this supermarket has a poor selection of allergy food. I asked for help and no one showed up to help me. Then I decided to go and get oat milk and it was all expired 5/22/2023 and I was there yesterday 5/31/2023 I did told one of the workers for him to be aware of that. I am very disappointed of my visit there. Also the restroom are so dirty and disgusting!! read more

Tony's Fresh Market - the front of the store - Grocery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Compro en Tonys en Belmont, los cajeros son amables y ayudan. Pido hablar con el gerente sobre algunos artículos. Me hizo esperar 5 minutos, así que decidí irme. Ese es el peor servicio al cliente que viene de los gerentes de la tienda. read more

Sure hope you will stop by Tony's on Lincoln! Must be getting ready for the road work to end! The store was busy and all the sale items and clip coupons were readily available. I was having an issue and asked a nice young man. He showed me how easy it is! More like a neighborhood store than the chains. Did not get a chance to shop the produce but the deli is awesome as usual Thank you Tonys read more

This Tony's grocery store seems to be newer than some of the others in the city. The Isles are large and neatly organized. The store is clean and the sections are open and inviting. Sometimes the fruits and produce are not that fresh, so make sure you inspect it thoroughly. It's in a mall, so they're usually is parking available, but I'm busy days you may have to park a little farther away from the entrance. My biggest complaint about the store is that they run out of the items that are on special all the time and you need to get rain checks for these products. read more

Only one star in order to write! I usually go here early morning. Go with my list and out quickly so my husband can get to work on time and I do the baby sitting. Today was my last day at TONY'S. I have been a loyal customer since they opened. Not any more. Self check outs only. No cashiers were opened. Machine kept requesting for assistant. As if I was stealing produce. One of my expensive over priced sofritos fell. I had to type in the produce I had. My husband was complaining because he had to hurry to get to work. Never again. I had a lot of items - it would had worked out better with an open register. Female Mgr there saw it and didn't care. I guess no one really wants to work anymore, or someone doesn't want to pay workers. The whole ordeal was a waste of my time. Took longer than usual. Prices were not great even on sale items I find it high. Walmart, Cermak and Jewel is better for me moving forward. Never going to a Tony's ever again. read more

Please avoid this store at all costs. The cleanliness and food is kept at very low standards. I went here very recently to purchase some dry goods and decided to buy some ice cream as well. As soon as I arrived home I decided to open some Dean's Ice Cream sandwiches and come to find out it's all freezer burnt and expired. Very disappointing..... read more

I'm more of a Jewel and Mariano's person because I once worked at Jewel and there is no Tony's near me, but I love coming here when I bring my grandma here most Saturdays. The prices are so much cheaper than Jewel, and they have tons of delicious looking hot bar food, as well as deli. If I buy hot cappicola at Jewel, it is about $11/lb, but at Tony's, it's only $5/lb. AND, the cappicola tastes 100x better here than at Jewel, too. The aisles here are clean and organized, and they are always faced when I come. I always come here for the spicy ramen noodles that they dont sell at the Jewel near my house (Chili flavor and picante beef flavor). The front end is always very busy, and I'm not a fan of how short the belts are at the registers, but the cashiers are nice here and I haven't had a problem. read more

Use to exclusively shop at the 4600 W. Belmont store, the prices are so expensive since the stores were bought out in recent years. Talked with other shoppers and we go to other stores to shop. Some of the current associates are very unhappy working there since the new ownership read more

Wow, this location is waaaaaaay way better than the store on Fullerton. Oh my gosh, so much better. The aisles are wider, the store is cleaner, it's seemingly larger, everything is neatly arranged to perfection, the parking lot isn't a free-for-all terror zone, they have more variety and larger selections, the employees are nicer and actually helpful, everyone inside was following CDC guidelines....much nicer location overall. As soon as I can get over their excessive price gouging on Instacart, this location will be the one I go to despite being much further from home. Nice store. Keep up the good work here. read more

This was insane walked in RAN out when are businesses going to take this seriously, when are people going to take this seriously. Everyone right on top of each other way too many people in the store. VERY UNSAFE STAY AWAY read more

It was last month me and my family were shopping at this Tony's fresh market and one the the mangers was standing behind this guy and he was recording my family and some other people in the store at check out and the manager didn't say anything. she just stood ether looking like nothing was happening and finally someone had said something and he turned off his phone and put it in his pocket. read more

Love this place... like a good wine, it keeps getting better as time passes. I don't even live in Chicago (and I still come here) , but I used to and used to shop here over a decade ago. Great improvements... now self - checkout available. The staff and workers here are super friendly and helpful!! There is another one closer to me , but it has a different vibe ( central & Belmont) . I'll keep coming here for my fresh produce!! I'd highly recommend this Tony's. read more

Within walking distance of the place we were staying at. Apparently, this is where they go for good Italian sausage to use for their Italian dishes. This is also where I get my first Vitner's Tangy Three Cheese Potato Chips. Yummmmmmmmmyyyyyyy!!!!!! read more

I come to this location all of the time but the reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because the fruits and vegetable do not fresh long even though they do have some good prices! I just got a bag of onions that were were soft in the inside and a little while ago I bought some garlic that felt hard on the outside but they were translucent on the inside! I did take those back and didn't have a problem! I keep coming back because this store and location isn't all bad they do have some good sales and fresh meat! They have a low price on eggs considering what the prices have been lately. So, I will be back and I will continue to shop at this location but I have learned what I can buy and what I can't buy! read more

Tony's Fresh Market - Grocery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I come to this location only out of convenience /laziness/ when visiting my mom. They have the same stuff as other locations. Fresh fruit and veggies, good selection of meats. Prices are fair. But the customer service is really bad. I mean the cashiers. Had a situation when I had 6 things at the 10 or less checkout lane.There were no other cashiers open. When I got to the register the guy looked at my items and said " there is other registers, you know". Mind you there wasn't any, and I had less than 10 items. I wouldn't write a bad review for a business based on one interaction alone. Unfortunately I came across rude and bad customer service few more times here. They have a big parking lot, which is great, but coming in from the back entrance watch out for the pot holes. Wouldn't recommend. read more

If you are looking for a quality, catered meal.... look no further. Our organization of 110 people were delighted to see such quality sandwiches, fruit,vegetable, and cookie spreads. When you call the Belmont location, ask for Nadia. We called her, gave her a count of people as well as budget and her team came through in a big way! The quality of food was amazing and the cost was just right! Thank you for making our holiday celebration a memorable one. Only suggestion would be to offer delivery. They do deliver, but only at certain times. Hats off to Tony's. Great food, at a wonderful price! Check out their website for the catering menu. Don't be fooled by the pictures. The large trays of veggies and fruits were bigger than the pictures. read more

Don't shop here if you are elderly. Mugged and store manager won't cooperate to protect shoppers.

We always try to buy high quality groceries and that why we try to shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. On our way back home yesterday we stopped by this place. Pros: Lots of parking Good choice of products Friendly staff Good prices and special discounts Cons: Seafood and meat were not very fresh "Fresh squeezed orange juice " was half water Other than that- pretty decent place. read more

As far as I can tell Tony's is the cheapest grocery store in the city. I go there mainly for staples like canned soup, eggs, bread. And deli meat. They charge the same amount for a pound of deli meat that Jewel & Dominick's charges for half a pound. For the same exact brand name and everything. A loaf of foccaciabread for .99 cents. I am not CRAZY about their produce section, but I will grab the basics. I also would steer clear of the sea food section. They have octopus there. I don't care for it. They just recently started carrying organic milk. A whole $1.00 cheaper than Jewel. And probably 1/2 the price of Whole Foods. The one on Elston is nicer, but this one is easier for me to get to. read more

I come to this neighborhood a lot, and I've gone to this grocery store many times. The first few times, I walked around and wasn't that pleased with their food selection. What I'm about to say may make you hate me, so I apologize in advance if you're an obese frequent Tony's shopper. Their food selection is awful. Junk food is everywhere, and I believe every single thing they have is processed and jam-packed with chemicals. I also observed that practically everyone who walks through these doors is fat, obese, or morbidly obese. I don't think I've seen one child there who doesn't look like a mini Rosie O'Donnell. This shouldn't be a surprise, considering they probably buy all of their groceries at Tony's. I still buy stuff there, though. It's because there isn't any other grocery store in the neighborhood, and I buy only gum and water here. Their employees aren't that nice. They don't usually make eye contact with me, and they always appear very sullen. I don't blame them; if I had to be around disgusting processed fatty foods all day, I'd be depressed too. Maybe I'm just too used to eating well. The bottom line is: if you're anything like me, you'll find that Tony's is only good for generic drug store stuff, like chapstick, shampoo, and water. read more

I have mixed feelings about Tony's Finer Foods. I have gotten some awesome things in the past, like fresh tamales, steaks, and anything you could ever need to make a Mexican feast! As for the rest of it, things are hit or miss and in my opinion, a little sketch. Being a person without a car and limited places to shop in Logan Square (now Craigin??) I have often popped into Tony's for emergency foods, but it's not a place I would regularly shop. Also, it gets craaazy crowded on the weekends. read more

Really, really impressed. Great looking produce! This location is close to my mom's place which she's lived in for over a decade now. Which brings me to my old experience with a different Tony's, let's just say terrible, really really terrible. Therefore, I never even bothered going in here. My mom wanted my to pick up some oranges, just oranges, I ask? Yes, that's all. Well, #!$?! I don't want to go out of my way for just one thing, so I pulled into Tony's. I left with two bags off produce for myself. It all looked so good and fresh. A well displayed produce section is so luscious and sexy, you just want it all. Kale, romaine, green beans, avocados. poblano peppers are some of the things I bought, oh yes and oranges! read more

Apparently I missed the purslane, but a helpful staff person told me when it will come in. Not much help to me since I live nowhere near there, but that they have it at all is wonderful. I've been looking all over for it. Very cheap Bulgarian feta and pitted olives, and horseradish cheddar, and as far as I can tell everything I bought is fresh. Nice staff. No lines at 9 p.m. on a weekday. Rather desolate parking lot, though. The cheddar is delicious. I am too tired to sample the other stuff, but it doesn't seem like something you go wrong with. The deli counter lady was respectful, competent and gorgeous. read more

I've shopped at this location only a handful of times and regret it every time. It is by far the most disgusting store I've ever had the misfortune to shop at. I live in the neighborhood and would rather travel further out than shop here. I was just there on Sunday and purchased diced cantaloupe amount other items. The cantaloupe had gone bad. A couple of years ago I purchased chicken nuggets, they had mold. Last year I purchased shredded Chihuahua cheese which also had mold. On another occasion packed meat smelled rancid. Never again will I give them a chance!! They should be shut down. read more

Joe the manager is not a people person. He talks to customers like they're idiots. He's not approachable nor is he friendly. I had an incident occur today at the register. The cashier clearly understood the problem and when she called Joe over, he spoke to the cashier like she was dumb and tried doing the same to me. I work in retail and understand when mistakes happen. I'd appreciate a manager admitting when something goes wrong on their end AND FIX THE PROBLEM! There are plenty of other grocery stores in my area that going forward, I'll be buying my groceries in. read more

Wasn't too impressed with this place, but it was decently large and clean. Recommend this place over Windy City. I came here in search of hummus to make a dish with, and I called ahead thinking they might not have it. The manager assured me they did. Well, when I went, the place was a mad house, tons of people everywhere. The checkout lines were horrendous. No one knew anything about the hummus and after searching around for 20 minutes, I gave up. Customer service is definitely lacking here, no one understood what I was talking about and didn't seem to concerned with helping me find it. The biggest problem here is lack of variety - little in the way of organic, and not much ethnic food outside of Mexican stuff. So if your shopping list contains more than just basic essential groceries or you don't make a ton of Mexican food, save yourself the grief and go to Jewel. read more

Yay, for the cook who needs mexican ingredients and fresh fruits, vegetables, and perhaps the best prepared in house guacamole one could fake for their own on several occasions. It's cheap, ready to go, and some of the best made with cilantro and lots of flavor. Other than that, this grocery store is questionable. Their questionable freshness of meats and dairy along with some really outdated frozen foods makes me go there when I am really hankering for some mexican food and maybe some beer - they have that too - right next to the eggs. A warning - do not go on the first of the month, unless you are one of the masses who just got their Link reloaded. Do not. read more

A little cramped, always busy, and always has that Mexican grocery store smell, but the prices are good -- especially deli and produce prices, which blow Jewel and the like out of the fuckin' water. As an organic gardener myself I know that organic labeling is about 75% bullshit anyway, so the whole organic thing doesn't make any difference to me -- but Tony's does carry a nice selection of local produce when they can, which IS important to me. And for Italian and Mexican specialty products, they're a great place to go. When I have to shop for drugstore stuff as well as food, I'll go to Jewel, but for the weekly load-up on groceries, it's Tony's every time, and my bank account is happier for it. All that said: the parking lot is a TOTAL clusterfuck. read more

I love this location! Spacious! Well organized! Great prices for produce! The women working the deli need to get it together...Their main concern should be customer service not how their date went the night before or what put their man in the "dog house." I promise ladies you would have less upset faces trying to burn a hole through you...Waiting 25 min for polish ham is crazy when there is 3 of you working and only 4 people trying to tell you their order... Gets really busy and finding parking becomes a pain... read more

This store lacks customer service skills. Cashiers do not even greet you when you're checking out my entire transaction was in complete silence . read more

Love the location and the fact that they have a fresh bakery. They usually have fresh donuts, French bread, and fresh bread crumbs. Their meats have reasonable prices, and the butchers are always nice and courteous. I really love they have Oberweis milk! read more

I've got mixed feelings about this Tony's location. I will spend a bazillion bucks at their North Riverside, Niles and Melrose Park locations on imported items from all over the globe. You could spend hours in those spacious and well-organized stores; they have EVERYTHING. Yet the Tony's on Belmont is the opposite of its sister locations. Yes it's smaller, but it's not as well-stocked, the variety is lacking, and it's messier inside and out. I recently was out biking one evening and decided to stop at this Tony's since it's nearby. As I was trying to lock up my bike next to the others chained to a shopping cart corral (no rack), some teenager pulled up in an SUV, almost hitting me. He got out and started to tug on the other bikes while I was there. I got back on mine and left. You'd probably find better selection (and safety) at the 6 Corners Jewel or Gene's Sausage shop by Laramie. read more

The humidity today (8/9/10) is ungodly, even with temperature in the upper 70's, I walked six blocks to this Tony's near Belmont and Cicero and was dripping by the time I walked through the door. Immediately I was overpowered by the inside temperature which had to be at least 15 degrees cooler that the temperature outside. I had planned to do a little shopping, but because I (especially my t-shirt) was so damp, I decided to just pick up a loaf of bread. When I got to the express line at the cashier, however, there was some glitch and the line wasn't moving. This seems to be common at this particular Tony's. I waited for about a minute and a half and then, worrying about how the cold air on my damp body could affect my health, I put the bread into a spare cart and headed toward the exit. I stopped at Customer Service first to complain about the excessively cold air conditioning and was told by the very young man in charge that the air conditioning was not on. It was the refrigeration of the frozen foods that made the store so cold. I think he was lying, but if he wasn't, Tony's must be wasting a lot of money to keep their coolers so frigid. I guess that they must be passing this extra cost on to their customers. I don't think that Tony's is concerned about the health of their shoppers. read more

I've experienced some pretty decent and quick shopping experiences at this location as opposed to all the other ones who have a cluster F*** for a parking lot. The shelves are always stocked and I never have a hard time getting what I want. I buy my meat here on occasion when they have a good sale, they can be a lil pricey sometimes, but the quality is good. Cashiers are Ehhh.. I've gotten a lil bit of both but I guess when you work retail no one seems to give a the BEST customer service, cuz some customers can be a hot mess! . I come here on the regular when I am in the area and sometimes i come out of my way just because of the quick parking lot! read more

4 stars because you can get fresh produce here for super cheap and it's really some of the best in the neighborhood. Not 5 stars because you usually spend half the time trying to park or trying to check out. It's busy in there, but that's because it's where it's at! They have tons of ethnic foods, yes. But you can also find stuff here cheaper than Jewel (such as Chai drinks, POM POM, and various desserts). I didn't like the tamales that the little girl sells out front, but that's not Tony's! :) read more

I went to this Tony's location for the first time last night around 8:30. It was a good experience. I was previously going to the location on Central near Fullerton and this one was much better! Perhaps it was because I went during non-peak hours but whatever the case, I was pleased at the un-crowdedness. It made my shopping experience much better. The prices are the same ones I think you will find at any location, but the store was very clean and organized. I appreciate that! My bill was around $60 but considering the amounts of fresh meats and fruits I purchased, it was fair. OH, and the cart pusher helped me load my groceries in my trunk! Winning! LOL! I will definitely be returning to this location. read more

SAVE MONEY HERE! I don't know about you, but I don't need "help" grocery shopping. I don't ask employees, I don't need "customer service", I just get what I need, pay for it, and leave. No, they probably do not have organic specialty items at Tony's. But they had 2 types of Boca burgers, and they have a good selection of everything. Yes, they have sweets, but not really more than any other regular grocery store. I was very tempted by the bakery section, which had delicious looking pastries and cakes, including an oreo cake for 4.99. But they also have all your other necessities for groceries, along with items from Mexico and Poland. I found everything I needed here. It is a normal Certi-Saver grocery store. I did not find anything "questionable" about anything there! Other than that, the pre-made guacamole was good, my friend recommended it to me and it was declicious. The produce I got was great, like mangos, all varieties of apples, avacados, and varieties of greens. They had Progresso soups for .99 a can, They had Cafe Bostelo for $2, aka "the brick of coffee", but it was nasty. I could not drink it, it tasted like dirt. But I also had some good cornbread from Tony's. I got pretty much everything I needed for the week here, and I was looking at it, estimating the cost. Wow, it was a lot cheaper than Jewel or Dominicks for sure, not to mention Treasure Island. I love saving money on groceries! Great Place to save money, and in most cases you get the same exact thing! read more

I always come to Tonys and get the usual experience, I get my groceries and go. Decent/poor customer service usually. I came Wednesday morning/afternoon I was near the milk section and needed help (very doubtful I would get any ) but I approached a young man cleaning In the freezer aisle, he very kindly set aside the mop to help me in the next aisle he was very knowledgable. More kind employees like him please ! This place has potential . read more

I prefer to shop at other Tony's. This location was small and very crowded. I especially didn't care for the female cashier who refused to greet me...even after I said hello to her. The Melrose Park location is much, much better. read more
