Raw pie dough
Eldon K.

Came in on December 23 and picked up some groceries for Christmas dinner. Two pies on were pecan and the other was Dutch apple. Came home and placed the pies into the refrigerator. Christmas Day after dinner of course wanted our pies, the pecan was perfect, the Dutch apple the pie dough was still raw. Started eating the pie and noticed not was raw!

I love Central Market. Today I tried their coffee shop on a Saturday morning. The hot soy matcha latte was perfect. It was just sweet enough and the matcha flavor was perfect. My partner got an iced americano, and I've never heard him say "this is a good americano!" we've been to a lot of coffee places, his favorite is starbucks for context. Tons of seating upstairs and some on the ground floor. They had free raspberry and lime water which was divine. Good amount of parking because it's a plaza. But it could fill up fast. The employee was genuinely nice thank you.

Catering Hours & Brochure

I'm super bummed that I arrived at the catering counter and found no one there. I arrived immediately after work to place my order that I need for a baby shower next week. I walked into the store at 5:50PM on a Wednesday evening and there was no one to greet me. Some workers noticed me waiting, approached and kindly told me that "the catering team went home for the day". However, the catering department is advertised, on their own brochures, that they are claiming to be open every Monday through Friday, from 8AM to 6:30PM. I'm very disappointed with the lack of service that was provided to me, and also the false advertising. Sadly, I need to make this order quickly and I will be taking my business elsewhere due to the turnaround time! Maybe next time I can arrive in time...

By far the best grocery store I've been in. I walked in and they gave me fresh hot apple cider with some kind of cookie that was delicious, I also got some fresh pears as a sample as well. All the fruit and produce was perfectly placed and so fresh and fully stocked. The service was immaculate, EVERY section I went in, I was offered helped and they had great recommendations. Everyone was so nice here. I've never been in a store with as many samples as they had this day. I had enchiladas, red honey chutney which was a 10/10, I immediately bought it along with the crackers as well. I also had fish with vegetables, 5 samples of red wine, potatoes and pecan coffee pie which was a great end to my sample tour. I'll visit this store 10xs over for sure!! The parking could get a little congested but I'd definitely be back.

This store will make even the most novice cook ready to excited to try their hand at a gourmet meal. It feels like a less commercial Whole Foods. There are great produce options both organic and conventional. As you walk in, you'll see cut fruits, juices. The path then takes you to an alcohol section packed with a variety of wines and local beer and cider. The standout is the aisle with tons of hot sauce and bbq sauce because...TEXAS. Whether you're shopping for fancy happy hour snacks or getting ingredients for a special dinner you will find everything you need here. What really sets this place apart is the variety. You can spend hours browsing through the robust selection of goods. It is on the expensive end, but I'll pay extra to shop artisanal goods from small American business owners any day.

Plastic tie in my sandwich

I'm so upset because central market is a favorite of mine and I come to this location whenever I am in town. I stopped by before my flight at Love Field to pick up a sandwich and I found a piece of trash in my food. It looks like a plastic/metal tie ribbon. I couldn't eat after this. I'm very disappointed. I wish I could have taken it back for a refund, but I can't leave the airport.

When you're bored with your run-of-the-mill grocery store, you can go shopping at Central Market. I've been around a bit, but I was blown away be this place. More choices of coffee, wine, peppers, apples, etc., etc. than you can find in most grocery stores anywhere. Folks were really nice, and I was splitting time between shopping and sightseeing. Parking is easy and there's lots of it. Lots to see and learn, make sure your phone is charged so you can look things up when you have a question. And HAVE FUN!!

Sign me up for anything related the H-E-B grocery chain. I think I've been to all of the Central Markets in Texas. This newer location on Northwest is in my top 3. It has all of the bells and whistles of CM. This is perfect for those in the neighborhood. If you have to travel some miles to get to a CM, then it may be a little off-putting that it is not That close to a freeway because of all of the traffic lights. A minor inconvenience but always worth the trip.

I absolutely LOVE Central Market - it's just a little pricier than the regular grocery store I go to, so I don't go very often. But I love their honey toasted pecans! And their apricots are great, too! And their chocolate truffles. They also have a wide selection of fresh seafood! Maybe it's because I don't visit often enough, but I always have a hard time finding things I want. The store itself is very clean, but I just don't understand their organization, even when using their signage. Maybe that's just me. Whenever I've visited, it's been pretty busy. So especially during these times of Covid, beware. Wear a mask (they require one anyways!). They offer curbside pick-up if you'd prefer that instead.

This is my favorite Central Market. People are so nice and helpful in the store especially the JC at seafood department. He is always smiling and being so friendly to the customers whenever I saw him. They always keep the store clean, and store has everything I need, and I truly enjoy my grocery shopping experience in there weekly.

Five star service!!! I went in as a out of towner, staying for a week, that knew nothing. Their…read morefood selection was on point but more importantly every employee I came across was super helpful. They provided useful tips for staying in town, what to see/where to go, and a few people even chimed in on where to avoid. I'm usually better at getting names so shame on me for that, but particularly helpful were the deli lady and the Starbucks girls, all of whom were working the morning of 12/26 at 10 am (hopefully that helps their bosses recognize them) The prices seemed good but admittedly I was in vacation mode (where money doesn't matter until you come home) and the service was top notch, but do yourself a favor and stay out of the men's room!! There were some shady dealings going down in the men's room

To be clear, the customer service staff is the worst part of this location…read more During the daytime, there are two Black ladies (one named Nia, and unfortunately I didn't catch the other's name), and in the evening there is a Black guy with braids. All three consistently have terrible attitudes. They either seem to hate their jobs, dislike dealing with customers, or both. I dread coming here knowing there's a good chance I'll have to interact with one of them, but unfortunately it's often unavoidable. In a time when good jobs can be difficult to find, you would think employees would put more effort into providing basic customer service. For the record, I am Black myself, so let's not turn this into a race issue. I only mentioned race because I don't know all of their names and wanted to identify the specific employees I'm referring to, not anyone else who may work there. These employees are consistently unpleasant and would probably be better suited for positions that involve less direct customer interaction, such as produce, stocking, or the meat department. Their attitudes make what should be a simple shopping trip far more frustrating than it needs to be.

The staff here is a little annoying at times, since they're doing a "donate to a local student scholarship drive", and the cashiers guilt-trip you (and they're fairly persistent) into donating. And when you do contribute, they broadcast it throughout the store. I get it's for a good cause, and I hate to be "that guy", but it is a little irritating after a while. On the plus side, the self-checkout attendants are usually fairly helpful and attentive, so that's good. The last time I wanted to check out, all of the registers were closed, so the self-checkout line was over a dozen people/carts long (thankfully two rows of self-checkout made the line dwindle fairly quickly). Another two lanes of self-checkout were opened at the other end of the store, but there were at least 3-4 attendants at the self-checkout lanes, so I'm curious as to why nobody was manning the actual registers. Finally, as I was leaving, two of the staff were having a casual non-work conversation, blocking the exit, so I asked them politely to move for my cart. They did so, but muttered under their breath for me to use the other exit. It was rather rude, since not only is that not appropriate customer service, but my car was parked at the other end of the parking lot, and the exit was right in front of me, which they were blocking. Overall, Krogers itself is great. You can probably find whatever you're looking for there, even if it might not be food, and for reasonable prices. But the staff and service don't always make your shopping experience a positive one.

This is the shittiest Kroger I've ever been to. And that is saying something. It feels like nobody…read moredoes their job here. Particularly the people who return carts. Every time I come here, there are never any carts ready to go. And if they are, they're full of trash. I will drive to a different Kroger just to avoid this one.

She pointed to a checking gun and kept talking rather than seeing if I needed anything else. 2 more workers came and talking to each other... store business I believe but ignoring customers. I said "Hello, I could use some help." One showed me where to slide my card. It didn't work I had to ask her again. She said your card's no good. No ma' am it's good, I don't know how to work this.

I picked up a few new things this trip, including vanilla bean paste for my coffee, which I'm VERY intrigued to try! I also had such a sweet interaction with one of the associates. I was specifically looking for a bruschetta sauce that I couldn't find on the shelf, and he was so kind and helpful. He checked for me twice because the system showed it was in stock, but neither of us could seem to find it. After strolling around the store a little longer and somehow adding several things to my cart that I probably did not come in for lol, I FOUND IT! It genuinely made my day, and I actually went back to find him just to let him know there was success at the end of our little bruschetta hunt and to thank him again for trying to help me. That kind of service really stands out to me. The staff here felt kind, patient, observant, and genuinely caring and that matters tenfold. This isn't my usual Trader Joe's location since I was just in the area across the street at Truck Yard, but I'm glad I decided to stop in and kill two birds with one stone. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in the area! Xoxo.
