Apparently the bakery staff is unable to tell the difference between white cake and chocolate cake. We couldn't return it because we had our daughter's name put on the cake and we cut the cake. I expect more when I'm paying this much for a cake!! read more

Jewel-Osco - The container was clearly marked "white cake." When it was cut we found that it was chocolate cake. - Grocery Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

I wouldn't recommend this store or even this chain. The customer service is lacking (especially on the phone) and aside from the produce, the prices are higher than other stores. I sent my partner there for two item, I was on the phone on speaker with him as he asked FIVE different employees for help finding the two items. Most of them said they were rearranging the store, NONE of them helped him find either item even though we asked. Some of them said they were out of stock. Sure enough my partner ended up finding both items on his own. read more

I am very disappointed with the service at the deli department today. I've been waiting for over 30 minutes just to be served. I understand that customers have to take a number and wait their turn, but this is the Fourth of July holiday weekend, and only two employees are working behind the deli counter. The employees are doing the best they can, and I appreciate their effort, but they simply don't have enough support to handle the volume of customers. The line has become extremely backed up, causing unnecessary delays for everyone. What was most frustrating was seeing a manager in the deli area who was clearly aware of the long line and did nothing to assist the employees or help move things along. That reflects poor management and a lack of concern for both the staff and paying customers. With so many people looking for work, there is no reason for the deli to be so understaffed during a busy holiday weekend. Better scheduling and management support are needed to provide the level of service customers expect. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so improvements can be made for both customers and employees. read more

EVERY time I go in for the ad sales at least one or more items are out of stock. I have so many rain checks it's ridiculous. Who ever is ordering needs to get it together. At the point where I'm over even trying anymore! read more

Anytime I come to this jewel they're always out of items. Cheap chicken Monday? Don't count on them having any left. Want a bucket of wings? Sorry we're out. Looking to buy a loved one flowers? We have a bunch of babies breath and a couple crappy dozen roses. Good luck! read more

The deli is the worst. Nobody there looks happy a bunch of mean old ladies. They never smile and Ella is the worst.

Hate that you need an app to get the sale prices. I'd rather shop elsewhere without the frustration.

Jewel has become a scam. They advertise sale prices but but unless you have the app and know how to apply it you will get overcharged. Be very careful and return items for which you've been overcharged. Better yet, there are other grocery stores that you can scan safely without fear of being price gouged. read more

The deli is the worst. Too long of a wait. Older ladies are very rude and roll their eyes and never smile. Just the worst customer service. Not to mention they have shorted me numerous times on the chicken, the fried and the grilled where they're always short one or two like this is ridiculous. How many times do I have to pay the price for chicken and they always are shorting us. read more

I like shopping here because it's convenient. I like the produce and meat department. I don't shop the deli counter anymore because they are always understaffed (?). By no means do I shop here because the staff are friendly. I am here every week if not 2-3 times a week and I don't even receive so much as a head nod. The gals at the courtesy counter are the worst. They don't even try to fake being nice, it feels like disdain instead, void of any emotion. Robots anyone? I don't expect to be entertained by any means but a little "nice" would go a long way. read more

Ok...this review is for the deli. I am sooooo tired of the understaffed deli. It is also annoying to have ONE person waiting on customers while 2 or 3 deli employees slowly walk around in no hurry to help. This visit probably deserves one star but the employee helping me was very nice. What bothered me most is the piles of sliced cheese sitting on the back counter obviously waiting to be packaged that looked dried out and oily at the same time which indicates they must have been there for some time. I am hoping they didn't end up selling the cheese but that also means a lot of waste. When I spend most of my grocery shopping time waiting in the deli it makes me unhappy. read more

Jewel-Osco - Sliced cheese looks like it's been out a while...ready to be packaged for sale? - Grocery Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

Mold and expired produce often. A elderly woman at self checkout watches me with a hawk eye as if I'm stealing. I come every week. I scan, it says to weigh it and she telling me to weigh it before the machine can finish its sentence while 7 feet away. Amongst other things. First time I ever felt profiled. Also 8 piece chicken special? This is ridiculous. (Pictured) Some staff is rude. Starbucks staff is always so nice. Rita is incredibly sweet and helpful. She's a gem. read more

Jewel-Osco - Chicken on Monday... - Grocery Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

Friendly service usually well stocked and good produce. The store is clean and overall a great experience

I never was a big fan of Jewel. Growing up my parents wanted to go to Jewel. I always prefer Dominic's. But they went out of business. I have avoided Jewel as they are overpriced. Service isnt exactly friendly & now my new reason to dislike them. Their experience for drive up & go- grocery pick up sucks. Half the time stuff gets substituted cause they are out. The substitution s are dumb since they guess at what you think would be acceptable . No creamer? They give you plain unflavored stuff. Or sugar free. Id rather not have it. Today, I pull up and call the number and right away the guy asked me if I'm DoorDash? I said no I'm a regular customer. He seems all surprised , and then goes through his checklist asking me questions. What, since it's 12 noon on a weekday and I'm calling you to pick up, and I'm not a woman, that makes me a door Dash person?? No dude, I took today off for personal reasons. Im tired of door dash! I miss the way it used to be , before Covid. Going back to Jewel, considering they are union, they have some dumb employees. Start retraining, quit guessing at things, and talk to your customer. Assume NOTHING! Start listening. And start lowering prices. You have about a half dozen competitors within a mile or two. Start checking their prices and get more competitive. Aldi, Tony's, Mariano's, mexican grocery's, etc,etc. read more

I advise anyone not interested in getting Covid to shop somewhere else until Jewel mandates everyone wear a mask like Illinois law requires. I'm sorry to say I won't be going back after 24 years. Having pancreatic cancer I need to shop at a place that follows Illinois law that everyone wears a mask, so I don't die from getting Covid. I brought it up to employees that customers were not wearing masks and coughing all over produce. That's right they intentionally were coughing on produce and Jewel employees allowed them to continue to walk around the store coughing on things. Someone should have had them leave or put on a mask. Possibly even be arrested for the intent of trying to get other people sick. I stopped shopping and left immediately when I saw Jewel wasn't doing anything about it. What a shame people would act this way. read more

I can remember when Jewel actually beat out other fried chicken resturants in a taste contest! Just picked some up today what Happened that sucked! Guess it's Mariano's or Bercots from now on. Or maybe I'll just go to jewels competition.! read more

They need to hire people friendly male cashiers. They are very rude and with the high cost of food, Jewel needs to keep and attract customers. read more

Not sure why I decided to go into a grocery store for dinner, but I was running out of options in the outskirts of the cute little town of Minooka. While I contemplated Culver's I decided to venture into Jewel-Osco to purchase a prepared salad. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a full dinner bar. While I thought about buying the huge $5 salads in the cooler, I ended up choosing to build my own salad. I am glad that I chose this route. The salad bar had a wide range of vegetables, dressings, pastas and the like. For the vegetarians and carnivores, they also had hot foods, including soup. I decided on Minestrone soup to accompany my salad. Compared to Whole Foods, the price was reasonable at $14 (my salad was huge). The next night, I almost decided to go back, but didn't want to go to far from the hotel so I went to Subway instead. read more

I just came here, stood in line for 20 minutes to have the guy after me in line take the last of the food. I hate coming here for the family meals, they never seem to have anything. read more

Jewel-Osco - the inside of a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

One star because I had to. I just left, used the so called express lane. They have it set up as one long line, and you go to the next available cashier. Or, get called up next to a line to "keep things moving" while two people in line behind you check out ahead of you. Management seemed okay with this. Don't say that you weren't warned. read more

I've dealt with the aisles being moved around. I've dealt with obvious corporate people lurking around asking me questions while I stand awkwardly holding some tampons. While I'm not thrilled with Jewel trying to become Mariano's I appreciate the effort to improve and add amenities. But there's something lacking and I can't quite put my finger on it. Today I decided to stop for a treat on the way out. My kid is sick. I'm on zero sleep. Holy crap Starbucks right there on my way out like an oasis. I ordered an iced green tea latte. I got it in a good amount of time and headed out; I had my son's medicine and I wanted to get home to give it to him. So I didn't pay attention to what I got until I got to the car. I basically paid $5 for green tinted milk. What I thought was a design on the cup was actually the unmixed green tea powder. Too bad I didn't notice that til I took a drink and got a mouthful of it. I tried to salvage it when I got home by mixing it up better but it was too late-it had settled into a green tea patty at the bottom of my cup. I also had some awesome green chunks in my teeth. If that, couple with boogers and barf on my clothes, doesn't scream sexy I don't know what does. read more

Please note: I am not one to typically review businesses such as these. Gas stations, chain grocery stores or department stores...there's no need for me to review these locations, because you need to go there regardless. My negative review will not sway you away from a gas station if it's on your way to work and you're on E. I was in the area, and decided to stop at this Jewel for a few groceries and was so pleasantly surprised I had to add my review here. Bakery/produce: Unlike other Jewel's, you don't have to buy specialty grains or nuts/seeds in a predetermined package. Here, they have containers that you can take from and weigh your desired amount. Love this! Variety: Huge amounts here. I feel like I found more here than in other locations - and items that I haven't found in years. There were also several large Hispanic areas (frozen and in the aisles), which I loved. Check-out: The person bagging my items was, from everything I could determine, the franchise owner. And he was hilarious. I LOVED that he was rolling up his sleeves and getting involved and helping where it was needed. Overall, while I wouldn't go out of my way for a Jewel, I will definitely stop in if I'm in the area. Definitely recommend it! read more

I will never shop here again I picked up a DoorDash and for starters the lady who asked for the name was super rude and then when she came back with the order she asked for the order number I can give it to her and she said OK well here it says A different name which is my name but she discriminated against me because I have a guys name being a female this is ridiculous and the older lady in the back doing the door dashes is rude as hell I didn't even order anything or buy anything from here that was my first time going there and I will never go there again I will drive an hour and a half the other way just so that I don't have to go there read more

SUPER ST0RE!!!! I love that I see the manager WORKING along with everyone else at stocking and helping customers. All the ladies in the subdivision think he is AWSOME.... They really go out of their way to say hi and give information. read more

Very disappointed with this store. The 2 customers before me were asked if they played monopoly, and I was NOT! Why? Because I payed with LINK?! Very rude! Very upset right now. read more

I was born and raised a Jewel customer ... growing up ... we went to Jewel every single day. I am extremely brand loyal as a consumer. That being said, I will never go to this location again. And it all hinges on one thing ... the Deli. The staff is rude, slow and down right combative with the customers. On more than 1 occasion I have seen the staff argue with the customers. 30-45 minute waits are not unusual... and when your number is up ... they make it feel like they are doing you a favor by slowly fulfilling your order. Now, I understand that it is a high traffic store, and I could even deal with a reasonable wait time, but then to be treated like I'm at the post office is unacceptable. There are other options in the area that have figured this out. And though it would break my mother's heart, I will Be shopping at Mariano's from now on. read more

Chris P helped me out! Great customer service. Funny kid! Made my shopping experience worth it. I've seen him a few times working. Thanks for taking time from working to stop and give me a hand. After RJ ( I assume the kids boss) snubbed his nose at me. 5 stars for the kid 0 for RJ & I'll be generous I'll give the store 3.5. read more

This is the worst jewel in the metro area. I waited 30 minutes to check out today. I usually wait 39 minutes or more to get deli meat. I swear I will never shop here ever again if I need anything more than something urgent. This jewel is awful read more

Seriously???!!! Worse customer service/management EVER!! I been going to this Jewel for 22yrs.. actually... 20yrs because customer service changed drastically as well as management. Bad management definitely shows thru the bad attitudes the employees have. Never again will I spend my money supporting Jewel Osco on Caton farm rd and rt59. In Plainfield Illinois... Not even 1 star!!!!! read more

I like this Jewel more so than the others in the area. The staff all seem to be friendly and happy to help. The pharmacy staff, in particular, is a nice bunch of folks. The store is always clean and neat, although more often than not they're out of some staples. All in all, it's a solid 4 star store. read more

The store is very clean and organized. The employees are even better! So helpful and kind! They instantly put you in a good mood!

Karen at the deli counter needs to cheer the hell up and not act like an angry teenager when someone's ordering food.

the deli is slow as can be, they say they are under staffed while three employees stand there while some young boy employee had to do everything himself , no wonder you can't keep people, i would have quit if I was him read more

The staff are pleasant. The parking lot is fine. The shoppers are rude as F. They have a huge sense of entitlement. SMH.

We have been going to this store for over 10 years, not sure what is going on here lately. They never have anything in stock. Milk today was almost gone, can never get my creamer there anymore, and the deli line is beyond slow. It's getting pointless to shop there if you can't stick anything. Please fix this! read more

I get its graduation weekend but the lady running the deli could have CALMED DOWN. We're just here to pick up chicken no need to be snippy with us. All of the workers were calm but her...what the hell...oh on top of that she yelled at us about our order which was also incorrect. AND the pick up time was wrong as well. Grocery store part is great but watch out for this lady at the deli. read more

Deli service took TOO LONG! I am currently waiting in line at the deli, and no one is being served! I have never waited in line at any grocery store for this long, and I will not be spending my money here again. read more

Ok for a grocery store, but not very competitive in grocery aisle products. Produce sometimes not the best looking, but they do compete in produce prices. Store seems clean and usually can find employees if you need help. Good for sale ad items, but rest of items are comparably high priced. read more

The Starbucks in here just opened but don't come and order something unless you have some time to spare. They're really slow. Like, REALLY slow. read more

So, if I would have reviewed this prior to their new update it would have been 2-3 stars. The store feels better, more selection, and more on point with the competition. read more
