    My favorite grocery store. If you shop the weekly ad, you can get great deals on meat and produce. Not only is the every day pricing competitive, but they have the freshest selection in town. Prefer to shop here over the big name supercenters or big chain supermarkets.

    On a recent and probably last visit to this store I was subjected to a very rude cashier "Gloria" After waiting patiently in a long line I placed the hand basket on the moving belt the basket is now behind the covid shield Gloria snapped you should have taken the items out of the basket. Then after she emptied the basket she flung it to the end of the counter After all this pleasant service I was made to reach around the counter to retrieve my purchase. If you choose to shop at this store you will behave in a manner that is acceptable to Gloria or you will be subjected to the same rude treatment

    Lots of energy bars on sale!

    I think it's about time Fresh Thyme gets an extra star! Their stuff has gotten a little better. My previous review stated that fruits and veggies were cheap but went bad quick....something changed about that...I'm able to keep fruits and veggies for at least a week! the french bread is still the same...unsanitary...i wouldn't recommend anyone buying their bread...imaging a ton of people touching it. eww gross. germs. yuck! sometimes you can score awesome deals here...other times you don't. Some things here are still overpriced, some aren't. there's something for everyone.

    Freshen time is really a disappointment. They are still new so the staff has some areas for improvement. The place is packed with people and no one knows where anything is, so it's really like navigating a human maze. Not like the people of Walmart, more like the entitled, mouth breathing soccer moms and their charming progeny. If your agoraphobic it would probably be your vision of Dante's ninth circle of hell. The location is small. If you have been to Lucky's in west county, this is "Unlucky's". At Lucky's you can enjoy a craft beer while shopping in a calm environment. Or conversely enjoy a fresh brewed cup of coffee while shopping. At Unlucky's you get neither! But you do get the sensation of being a chicken crammed in an overpopulated chicken coop. Don't believe look at the eyes of your fellow patrons. Think how close you are to living the lord of the flies!?! They were out of a chicken special And people were waiting for it. When they brought out the trays. It was a mad house. With people just grabbing them off the trays. No order at all. At the safer more convenient Lucky's they dispense items from the butcher shop by number. They have specials. They appear reasonably priced but if it's not on special seems like it's a little bit higher than Dierbergs. Although I think it's probably cheaper than whole foods. Also Dierberg's tapes fruit clam shells closed. Always wondered why until I had one of Unlucky's blueberry boxes open in my bag. Even aldis does better than this. The seafood department really appears to be the only area where I seen the store having a distinct advantage. Although the rest of the store makes it unlikely I will go there again. Did I mention that the store is small and crowded? Be prepared to a 20 minute wait to check out. The line runs the length of the store. As I approached the Potteresque sorting hat ceremony to determine the checkout aisle for me to pay my money. I was asked if I got everything. I told the young lady I got all I could take. I believe my humor was lost on the lass. Another lady tried to cut in line to check out and was directed to the end of the check out line somewhere in Swansea. The patron says that "will take forever", the sorter ceremony docent replied "the line moves very quickly", the mom countered with "I don't believe you." I know from experience that quickly is relative term. Instead of coming to Unlucky's save your time and go to Dierbergs. If you want destination grocery shopping save your time and drive to Lucky's. You will be done faster than waiting in this Dantes purgatory, and you can have a beer while you shop.

    I stopped in on opening weekend and I was shocked at how packed this place was, at first I thought it was full of people just browsing until I say the long lines at the register. I had fully intended on stopping here to grab a few items for dinner, while checking out the selection , however after seeing the lines my plan quickly changed and I shifted into browse mode instead. The layout of this store is pretty simple, its actually larger than the typical Aldi's & Trader Joe's yet much smaller than a Schnucks or Dierbergs. The focus here is mostly organic or mostly healthier options. You can manage to do all your shopping here, however some items might be cheaper elsewhere. I noticed some pretty good deals on the sale items, and plan on making a return trip when it isn't so crowded. In addition to the usual grocery store selection, Fresh Thyme offered a wide variety of vitamins, protein powders, gluten free, and organic items. The staff seemed friendly and there was always someone nearby if you needed any assistance. I liked what I saw, but I will recommend visiting during off peak hours to avoid the crowds.

    Great quality at a great price! (Season them up,bake,grill or air fry!)

    When Fresh Thyme opened in Fairview Heights IL (in addition to multi locations in the metro area &and Various locations in the USA) I was leary and wondered how they would or could compare to other nationally known "wholesome food" and regional grocers. I'll admit I was initially "underwhelmed" by certain selections.....But then discovered where IMO Fresh Thyme outshines the competition hands down! Their Amazing meat department. Why is it amazing you ask? Over a period of time we purchased beef including steaks,roasts,ground beef from Fresh Thyme, then the competition. Because I know beef can vary we gave it time...and tracked diligently, overall flavor,tenderness we soon realized that each and every time Fresh Thyme came out on top.....But while Beef stood out what I discovered about the chicken is simply one of the greatest food quality finds I've ever made. Id buy big brand name (Brand names that start with "T" and "P") bring them home, grill them, bake them,air fry them whatever and no matter the local grocer they clearly had an odd flavor as noted not only by me, but those eating with me. Then I tried Fresh Thyme Chicken, the first thing I noticed was that it appeared to be fresh, packaged inhouse and not "factory packaged"..... chicken pieces were meaty (like when grandma cooked chicken when I was a kid!) The chicken prices? Excellent! Cheaper than the odd tasting factory chicken I had previously purschased elsewhere! (again names that start with a "T" or "P") Finally I talk to one of the butchers at Fresh Thyme..and Said "hey great job on the meat and especially the chicken,its so fresh and doesn't taste odd like those other big brands I purschased big brand named chicken from other stores" What he said next stunned me! He said.... "Oh you noticed that? I used to work at two other grocers meat departments, and in all likelihood the odd flavor you noticed is because those big brand companies GAS the chicken to keep it fresh longer, at Fresh Thyme we get our chicken in Fresh daily and package it here" "I said wait! What do you mean GAS the chicken?!?!" The butcher stated "those other companies gas the chicken with a formaldehyde type product to keep it fresh longer, for longer shelf life" Well theres no question where I will buy Chicken and Other Meats! Fresh Thyme! Fresh Thyme's Meat Dept Is Amazing with a great selection of special items as well! The Produce is great as well! (Carrots that come with the stalk for roast beef are sweet, delicious!) Definitely give Fresh Thyme a try!!

    Smoked Mozarella Pasta Salad, Lemon Scone, Chicken Tortilla Soup, Sandwich on Pretzel Bread, and Steaz!
