It was a privilege to be able to attend because my father was working for a company that was a primary vendor supplying all the grocery stores. What has been great about this family run company and still family owned is the story behind how it got started. If you do some research about Jose and how he came to this country and built this business from nothing and if you truly love small local businesses, and if you truly want to support the American dream of a Mexican immigrant, this is a place to shop. I have loved seeing it go from a grocery store to having its full bakery and eat in restaurant section with prepared foods as well. They are stronger now than ever. I have always loved the tacos and the churros, and I still come here for the tacos and the churros. This place is an institution and I hope everyone appreciates it as much as I do

While bagging my purchases at the self-checkout station at Mariano's Glenview West store, I had a…read morechance to chat briefly with Eric, the friendly associate who assists customers there. According to Eric, the store is now set to close on August 8, moving up from the original closing date of August 22. That's just a month away! He mentioned that Kroger is swapping the closing date of this location with the one in Buffalo Grove. Eric assured me that he'll still have a job with the company, but his current commute is just one minute, and now, he doesn't yet know where he'll be reassigned. Even before hearing that the store would be closing two weeks earlier than expected, I was already feeling nostalgic. I've shopped at this Mariano's for over 10 years. It's huge, clean, and rarely overcrowded--maybe that's part of what hurt it from a business perspective. I've taken a few photos to help remember it, and I know I'll miss this place a lot.

The inside is clean, with some nicer displays and dining areas that I don't always see at Mariano's locations. The prices are fairly competitive, with plenty of items on sale though some require fairly large quantities before the sale price is triggered. Though the store is enormous, products aren't grouped too tightly so there is plenty of space to navigate around the store (though, I would prefer a bit more aisle spacing as some areas seem to have a good amount of unused space). This also means that the selection is large, but not as enormous as if they used less space for making attractive displays and instead packed products more tightly on the aisles. Checkout is fairly quick, with a good number of self checkout kiosks available to use.

As someone with a busy lifestyle that enjoys the quick in-and-on nature of going to a Trader Joe's…read moreor Aldis, I am probably the target market for Wild Fork as well. Wild Fork fills a niche well, as it is a smaller store where everything is laid out in a compact, but predictable format. You don't need to worry about looking for deals, coupons, and searching for items through poorly arranged and labeled aisles. Instead, Wild Fork lays out all their products in a very easy to find manner, with no nonsense pricing. Bulk discounts are easy to find, and the products aren't packed so tight that it's hard to see everything. For me, I appreciate this versus some other grocerers where figuring out the final price is quite a bit of a chore, and you have a good chance of overpaying if you don't follow every single rule for discounts. Another thing is that this store is well labeled, bright, and logically arranged. I know exactly where to look for everything and I appreciate how easy it is to easily find standard and more premium options. For someone who doesn't know when he'll be eating out or in on any given day, Wild Fork is great because it allows me to stock up on high quality frozen options so I can eat healthy and deliciously any day of the week. For me, this is the only other store other than Trader Joes where I'll stock up on lots of different frozen items for meals. The items are consistently frozen well, sealed well, and have a good taste and texture. The price is also very reasonable, being particularly competitive on most standard meat and seafood options. You'll also find items like marinated chicken quarters and hot pot meat that's frozen here, something you may not find easily in the area outside of specialty stores. Parking is also relatively easy here, once you understand how to get in off the main road and the checkout process is fairly quick. The employees are also friendly and helpful if you need help finding things. Overall, a great addition to supplement my grocery shopping when I need high quality frozen food.

I've driven past this location ever since it opened but never stopped by. One day I decided to…read morestop by and I'm glad I did! I spoke to a staff member and asked why is every meat frozen? How does it stay fresh? He was very helpful explaining the process that they vacuum seal the meats, wet-age it in it's own juicies then blast freeze to keep the freshness. I decided to buy a couple of products to try: ground beef and wagyu hamburger patties. I was told that the wagyu hamburger patties were juicy and tasty. The ground beef was good and when defrosted it was better compared to the beef you would normally buy from a normal grocery chain. Everytime, I go to this location to pick-up meats, the staff is welcoming and friendly. They answer all my questions and point me in the right direction. I was pointed to their froze veggies and I'm going to buy them next time to see if they are just as fresh as their meats. The store is well lit so it is easy to read everything. Everything is in the appropriate groups: Chicken, Pork, Beef, Seafood, etc. If you want great service and good meats and low prices head over to Wild Fork!

Another employee called Sarah then helped me put my heavy groceries away in my car! Great customer service on employee part always. However, the management is not so great and when the water fountain broke down in 2025 summer they NEVER fixed it until forced to by litigation from the health department.

After that they start going GINGLE GINGLE, and that is really annoying I must admit! I still donate anyways, but please make it go away next holidays for a better shopping experience.

Before I start with the review, let me say that I do not take writing a critical review lightly as…read moreI fully understand the impact of negative reviews (esp. for a small business). That said, here is my story. We are new to the area and thus not familiar with the popular Indian Grocery stores. Google pointed Shital to be the close store w/ the avg. rating of 4-stars. So, I went there to get some fresh vegetables and a couple of other items. The initial impression of the store was that aisles & racks were tightly packed. Went to the fresh vegetable aisle. All vegetables were on top of a open refrigerator (much like Walmart). Initially, I did not think much of it until I saw okra (bhindi) that did not look fresh at all. It had black spots and seemed "withered". Other vegetables seemed old as well. Now, it was obvious why the vegetables were stored on top of a open refrigerator (which is unlike how most Indian grocery stores store their fresh vegetables): turnaround & restocking was infrequent. Next, I went to the frozen section to get garlic naans. I picked up a large pack of garlic naan. The naan is suppose to kept frozen until use. The naans in this packet felt soft and did not felt frozen. I figured that it might be one off, so I reached for another pack in the same area. Again, naans in the second package also seemed soft. I mentioned the fact to the person behind the counter who was likely the store owner. He said that it might be just that one packet. So, he went back and got another packet. This packet was also not fully frozen. This is alarming and a health hazard as the food that is suppose to be frozen is not actually frozen. I decided not to get naans. Though, I did get a couple of Indian snacks (namkeen). The price seemed a little on the high side, but I decided to go ahead and purchase the snacks as I figured that I would not be returning to this store in the future. During checkout, I was informed that I had to make a $15 minimum purchase to use the credit card otherwise there would be a $0.50 charge. My total (w/o the .50 charge) was around $13.80. It is shady when business owners decide to jack up the minimum purchase amount from the customary $10 to $15. Overall, the food quality/safety, price and overall experience was poor. I would suggest that patrons shop elsewhere for the Indian grocery needs.

I filled out my form with all the details (sorted by category) of what I wanted. I got a call the next day clarifying substitutes for some products and it was ready for pickup immediately. The pickup experience was completely non contact and they placed the groceries into the trunk of the car. The warm service by the business - Mr. Harshad and Rahi - is another huge plus.
