    When I need to buy flowers, I start looking at Market first. They have better choices and quality of flowers than what you get at other grocery stores at a good price. When my granddaughter had a dance recital, I went there for her bouquet, and I gave them several days notice - it was beautiful. The workers at the floral department are very helpful and often times make suggestions, which helps me out a lot. It's always a great experience at Central Market, and especially in the floral department.

    This is one of the best grocery stores I've ever been too. Everything is beautifully displaced and fresh. I liked the layout of it. Any person I interacted with at a meat or seafood counter was very helpful. We enjoyed everything we bought here from the filet mignon, seafood, fresh bakery items, and even some schnitzel at the hot bar. We will definately be back to try more items!! Prices are a little high on some things but you are paying for quality.

    They have everything you could possibly need for every day top-tier produce chef's case and options available for catering and creating the perfect environment for a celebration. Another bonus that I've taken full advantage of is they offer cooking classes. each class has a professional chef with recipes printed and included to take with you hands-on participation. I cannot rave anymore about the central market experience.

    Although we only visit central market once per year, for their Hatch Green Chile Festival... We really enjoy trying fresh made items from they kitchen. There is quite an extensive selection of different types of food. And the customer service is great too! We wouldn't mind coming back more often, if they were closer...

    Update: August 26, 2025 My review is all about their "new" California Connection sandwich. It's fresh and delicious, specially when it's roasted. Serving staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Very clean and nicely decorated, well lighted place. Lots of parking, too.

    What could I say about Central Market that hasn't already been said? The best produce in the DFW can be found here. Not only is it the freshest, it's also the largest selection of leafy greens, herbs, mushrooms, and tropical fruits. They also have their own coffee beans, bakery, milk, and eggs. And so many other grocery items. If you like H-E-B, you have to make a visit to Central Market. These reviews are probably more for non-Texans, since we know about CM. Nonetheless, I was able to find my favorite Cowgirl Creamery cheese here. But I still need to try so many of the baked goods and food court style hot food section. Not to mention the four kinds of poke in the meat & seafood department. I've never had to struggle to find anything because there's always someone approaching me to ask if I need help. Or there's someone around that I can ask for help. Everything is always so organized and the smells from the hot food section will be enough to keep you there for at least some time. I didn't even mention the beautiful floral section. Love the option to buy individual, long stem roses. I think the large selection of colors is in preparation of Mother's Day, but they have tropical florals normally too. So it could just be the wonderful magic that is CM. What am I forgetting? Probably the fresh salad bar. Or the antipasti bar. Or my favorite feature of all - the banana wall. You can select from unripe, ripe, or organic bananas that are all organized by their features. If I didn't cover it, I'm sure someone else did. Just don't shop hungry. There are way too many delicious things to be carted. Happy grocery shopping!

    I love this place. Going to Central Market is very much a special shopping experience for me. When I wander through the vegetables and fruits, I'm always impressed with the variety and the quality of the produce. I'm more like to try something new and different here than in a regular grocery store. They don't usually group items for sale. You have to bag items that you want and find a scale. There are clearly posted signs indicating what the food item is, the price per pound or other measurement, and a PLU number. You must enter this 4 digit PLU number on the scale and press enter. A tag is printed that you can place on the produce with the total price. As you zigzag through the different departments of the store you'll notice that prices are much higher here than elsewhere. However, in addition to beautiful quality and variety, you'll also find organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, and other special dietary restriction products available here. The place reminds me of Ikea since you have to wind through the store in a certain way, but there are secret passageways that let you cut corners and quickly skip a department, like the extensive winery of international, national, and local grapes or the bakery with gorgeous golden boules and baguettes. The self serve fridge and the on-demand-counter are some of my favorites. They have a dinner-for-two bag that you can buy for less than $20. It always has a delicious protein, side vegetable, and side grain. The instructions to reheat these items in the oven or microwave are attached to the front. It's a fast and lovely meal for you and a special someone. You can also get single meals when going solo or platter portions for a larger family. It's one of my favorite things, and if I lived closer, I would probably go every week. At the moment, I do go once a week because I'm in the area for physical therapy anyway. I love HEB and Central Market. We just may need to move closer.

    Best part- you eat what you made

    The grocery store is amazing! However, I am here to write about the cooking school! My husband surprised me with a cooking class here, and we had a really fun time! Sean, Brittany, and Nancy made the experience so exhilarating! We did the "All About Chicken Class" and everything was so good! The kitchen was super clean, and pretty spacious! Our class was about 10 people and it was very hands on! At least half the class got the opportunity to cook on the stove!

    Hard to find items here
    Guy H.

    It's been too long. Haven't been here in a few months. It was my go to for prepared foods for a while. It's so easy to buzz through here and get those items that are just a cut above. Making your days special can and should include a trip to the Central market once in awhile. Last time I was in here everything was a little chaotic and off putting. So,I haven't been back till now. I was glad to see their move towards prepackaging all the bulk items has been reversed. It's nice to get exactly the variety of olives you want. Seems they've settled back into a well stocked specialty grocer. If you are familiar with this store you either love it or hate it. There is a learning curve associated with shopping here. I suggest if you haven't been then.... Go!

My parents lived in Garland so I'd visited the Walnut Hill & 75 location over the years and liked it, other than the fact that they're not allowed to sell hard liquor which is a BIG BUMMER but not the store's fault. I went to this location around 2pm on a weekday and it was BUSTLING! The selection was pretty good and just about everything on my list was in stock. The store is super clean and well stocked by happy, helpful and smiling employees as always. There were even plenty of shopping carts and baskets available which is never the case in downtown San Francisco. The lines were very manageable even though the store was packed with shoppers. My cashier informed me that this is the busiest location in the DFW area, but I'd argue that the Walnut Hill location is just as busy. I was thrilled that the lines don't snake around halfway down the aisles like those for a theme park roller coaster as they do in SF.

The posts all said how great the customer service is, the prices, the whole vibe. So, I thought I would give it a shot, and the prices and the quality of products did not disappoint. I only gave it three stars because the only two customer service people I came in contact with were not friendly at all. For example, when I checked out, the cashier handed me the receipt, made no eye contact, did not acknowledge me in any way. Major pet peeve of mine. Having said that, the ketchup flavored potato chips are amazing!

    I have shopped at Kroger for years. I have always loved them for the most part…read more They have always taken care of whatever problem I might have. Their prices are reasonable for a grocery store. If you use the app and digital coupons you can save a lot. It also makes a big difference on the price to have a 'plus' card. I get all my prescriptions from them. I've never had a problem with the pharmacy department or pharmacist. My insurance pays all the bills on that, so I can't really talk price there. I've used the pick up service and like it. My biggest disappointment with it and Kroger there is the withhold certain items from pickup and delivery that are ridiculous. Like a certain flavor of a brand of pizza. They make you go into the store to buy these items. I am disabled so this is very difficult. Next I will give their delivery service a big fat O rating. Don't bother. It's not worth all the trouble. I thought it was really cool at first. I got a free month. I signed up for the premium so got a 2 hour delivery free with $35 minimum order. Cool right?! Wrong. The free month was perfect. As soon as they charged me $99 everything started going wrong. Every- single- order-since. EVERY ONE - has been wrong. Missing items, items I didn't order , overcharged, yucky fruit. Ordered 1 tomato. Got 1 pound. Oh, I've called every time. Instacart is the delivery company for them. I guess they fill the order too. They fix the problem and then give me a gift card on my account. Usually $15, but by this time I've spent a good hour dealing with the problem. It's quite a pain in the. &@#!! Other than that, which is really Instacart-that Kroger chooses to do it's deliveries, I like Kroger. I will continue shopping with them. They are my favorite.
