I ordinarily shop at my neighborhood Kowalski's at 54 th and Lyndale Avenue South which used to be Red Owl (are you old enough to remember Red Owl?). My neighborhood Kowalski's is small (intimate when you are trying to pass someone in a lane), dark, and sometimes stock is limited. The Kowalski's at Southdale is overwhelming. It is large, well lighted and well stocked. I felt like a refugee from a third world country. We decided to pick up lunch. In addition to Kowalski's superb soups they had a pho/ramen bar. I was dubious as I love pho at Vietnamese restaurants but this wasn't bad definitely tasted like pho. There were many other choices for prepared food to take out. We bought a few things and as is typical of Kowalski's the staff were friendly and helpful. There is parking at the entrance and they will carry your purchases to your car. I doubt I will drive all the way to Southdale for my regular shopping but I must say I was overwhelmed in a positive sense.

I first stoped by during the Rediscover Southdale event, and boy was I impressed! This Kowalski's…read moreis awesome. It's beautifully laid out, well-stocked and well-organized, and is full of delicious things and helpful staff to connect you with said delicacies. Located in Southdale Mall, this is pure convenience for both your regular grocery shopping AND snacks on the go. They've got an amazing selection of ready-to-eat items, including a ramen bar (those exist!), a salad bar, a grill, and pizza. The store is clean, bright, and welcoming with an upscale feel. I definitely recommend visiting if you're at the mall. It's a bit out of the way for me to replace my regular grocery store, but I would probably pick it over the food court these days. Bonus: they have awesome coffee!

It's a convenient location--right off France--and has plenty of parking, making getting here a snap. The store's layout is very logical, making it easy to find what you need (and the things that you want seem to magically appear--hello amazing chocolate selection right when I walk in!), and the people who work there eager to help you with whatever you need. It's an excellent place to find gifts for the entertainer or foodie in your life (even if that's you). I highly recommend it! While the price points are a bit higher than they may be at other stores, they are worth it--you will find high-quality gourmet items that may not be available everywhere else.

My main objection to TJs is the chaos. The parking lot is crowded and it was difficult finding a place to park. Nothing is marked in aisles on the store so it is hard to find what you are looking for. Finally another customer heard us searching and pointed out the Everything Sprinkle. We bought a lot so hopefully we won't have to return for a long time.

A person stocking the fridge case on the opposite side of the aisle said, "you look like you are looking for something. Can I help?" I was almost stunned.

I really appreciated her going the extra mile for me. It really meant a lot. Aside from that, I am not sure I have ever been in one of these market before. Very fancy - the aisles are carpeted. Pretty slick. The store is really nice and so are the people that work there.

Parking is a bit tough at times - the parking situation could be better, but I nit-pick. The store itself seems bigger than the Minneapolis locations. The selection and inventory seems to be a bit better, too. Sometimes, I have to go on certain days to other WF stores if I want certain things, but this one seems well stocked. Not night and day, but some difference. Produce is usually solid and meat department is, too. The dry goods selection is particularly good here. We are able to shop and get all the things we need, even if it is a slightly longer drive.

The baggers are the same... very unprofessional, singing to themselves, reading labels on food causing backups, stopping to talk to others, etc. They need more training on how to bag instead of just piling stuff into a bag on their sides. Horrible. No rhyme or reason on where to stand for ordering at the hot food counter. Order from over hot food? By chicken? Registers? They take orders from all over the place & not in order. Then stocking during high traffic times without any courtesy to the customer. They couldn't care less if they're in the way, as long as they're not inconvenienced. Only thing worth going for?

When I walked in it seemed like a very regular day. They did have 3 sample stands around the store but were a bit lackluster overall, nothing special. I did ask a staff about it and worked my way up to management - who basically said what they have is all they are doing for the event - due to staff call outs. Essentially there was no event taking place. I did browse around a bit and ended up grabbing a few items. Seemed like they had great deals and some items you can't really get at other stores. They sell baba's hummus, which I love. The produce looked good and they generally had a lot to offer as a smaller grocery store. I do like that they mostly group items together so you can see all options in one place, like gluten free crackers and next to regular crackers. Same with some dairy free options for other items. They have a ton of parking and if you park underground in the ramp they have a cart ramp to get your items down easier.
