    This store has a lot of the brands I look for, but they often run out of items that I need,…read moreespecially in the produce section. There have been so many times that I had to ask where the bananas were, beets, etc. Overall I'm so glad this store exists, because it is the closest to Whole Foods so far here, although it's also nothing like WF. It would be nice if they opened a location in the Southwest of town because it's quite a drive, especially when there's no option to pick up. It is so expensive at Natural Grocers which I was absolutely shocked at, but I guess we have no choice other than to spend the money because Columbia doesn't have a lot of options for organic food. I at least appreciate that the store exists. A common misconception is that Natural Grocers is cheaper than Whole Foods. It's not. I used to shop at Whole Foods in my old town and it was significantly cheaper, more items to choose from, and they actually have a meat counter which is missing from Natural Grocers. I spend double the money when I'm here compared to WF. I miss the days where you can go get all your meats from one store. I cannot find good quality meats here, but they do have some chicken and ground beef options that's packaged. But even then, they run out of it. I miss having the options. Some other differences between NG and WF---- Whole Foods has an option where you can order from an app and pick up in the parking lot. NG doesn't have this option. WF has a smoothie and coffee bar, as well as a hot food bar. The amount of people dissing WF to me is just insane. This attachment to "the way things were" in the Midwest and limited thinking has got to be changed here in Columbia. One thing I appreciate about NG is that they do not use Apeel, which is a big problem in other stores. The one thing I REALLY do not like about this store is the amount of rude people who work the cashier register, especially to people who shop a large amount of groceries at once. I don't want to say all of them because some of them have been very nice. However, there was one African American lady who you could feel just hated her job and hated ringing me up and would make snarky comments to me. It was more than once and very clear she hated what she was doing there. I did not catch her name because it was hard to even be around her due to how uncomfortable she would make me. Another person named Sloan is always passive aggressive to me and other customers when ringing us up. Every time I get rung up by these people, they seem extra bothered and have a rude, standoffish demeanor about them. Their behavior was just strange, unacceptable and lame. Especially someone like me new to the Midwest, these types of people are the reason I don't find Midwesterners all that friendly. They are ruder than people from big cities. I get very anxious in the store because I don't want to deal with some of the rude cashiers. The rest have been decent and one of them was exceptionally kind to me, but I forget her name. Management should help these people understand that even if they're annoyed with their job, we are the ones spending an exorbitant amount of money to help the business and keep the lights on, and possibly even your job. I get it, work sucks. But it's not okay to be rude to customers or act like you're bothered when you're ringing someone up. It sucks to only have one store and one option in town to go to, to get organic food. Eating healthy shouldn't have to be this hard or complicated. But overall, I'm glad it exists because without it we would have nothing.

If you are new to homeopathic or natural treatments, the staff are great. I did my own research, then a staff member explained the differences in brands, and forms (i.e. drops vs. tablet) to help me make the best purchases. They also have a store brand of most vitamins/supplements that are the same as other store prices - but I don't have to worry about the ingredients. On Reward days, I bring my grandsons in to choose snacks for a park picnic. I can relax in knowing I am not going to have to say no due to it not being healthy. The bulk foods section in my personal favorite - for pennies I can try a new spice :) We shop at the other location on East Broadway most of the time, however, this Chapel Plaza store does have a larger selection. If Broadway doesn't have it but Chapel Plaza does, they will get it to you if you don't want to venture to the southwest part of town. I have been a Clovers shopper for forty some years and I always see new things every time I go.

    I like Clover's a lot while recognizing that it, at times, is expensive. There are good sales,…read morethough, and I watch for those. And the staff at the Forum store is especially friendly and helpful. I don't know what we would have done without this place during the lockdown. Forever grateful for their quick response to the need to order online. We spent a bundle but really enjoyed the super fresh produce.

I hopped off of 70, it's a little bit of a drive away from the interstate, but nothing too crazy. I ordered my coffee and perused the aisles (candy specifically lol) while my drink was being made. The staff was helpful and the store was clean. They have a huge variety of items, and I'd closely compare it with Schnucks. I'd be a regular if I lived in CoMo!

That's fine, it happens, I should have looked at my receipt before I left. So I call them and I was told I must return to the store to get the credit. Most businesses can do this by e-mail or over the phone, but okay. Not thrilled about this, but I went. When I arrived, I was told there were no numbers in their store jargon that I do not understand. Then they explained to me that I will need to bring all the items back, obtain a refund and then have it recharged. Well, the items have been consumed, not going to happen. I let the person know that was ridiculous. So they proceeded to credit back the tax that should not have been on the receipt in the first place all with zero friendliness on the part of Gerbes staff. Clearly staff are not well trained. I will be watching you closer from now on or not visit at all.

    This was my second visit to HyVee Market Grill. Our party consisted of 3 children and two adults…read more We were promptly seated at a comfortable table and our waitress took our drink orders. She also answered all of our annoying questions without hesitation ;) I ordered the Mac & Cheeseburger with French Fries. I'm always down for a burger and put some mac & cheese on top, SOLD. Anyway, the burger is topped with White Cheddar macaroni and cheese, bacon, Colby Jack cheese, and toasted panko bread crumbs. Served open-faced on fresh-baked artisan sourdough bread. DE-LI-CIOUS!!! Their French Fries, O.M.G... they through you off because they are pretty dark in color. But, don't fret, these fries are YUMMY! They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and seasoned very well. The Manager is always around, and he takes the time to stop by every table to see if they are doing ok or need anything. Top notch service on his part! Did I mention they have specials every day? Kids eat free on Tuesday's and they have a $10 steak dinner special on Saturday's. Yep, you heard me right. If you haven't tried Hy-Vee Market Grill, GO GET YOU SOME!! And please, don't be thrown off because this restaurant is in a grocery store, they DO WORK in that kitchen!!! P.S. - Oh, and lots of TV's, discreetly located up high as to not distract from the overall experience. Great place, seriously!
