Pete's Market Willowbrook had one of the most amazing selections of hot food and prepared food items I had ever seen. It looked like they typically had excellent fresh produce also. I was very grateful they had canned soy milk, e.g., Yeo's soy milk. The food was excellent. They have a nice dining area. The store was clean, neat, and well-organized. They have an extensive selection and wide variety of foods. I really enjoy the Pete's Market grocery stores. read more

One of my go to markets for fresh vegetables and fruits. Brookhaven is their direct ethnic food demographic competitor. Though 98% of their fish or shrimp is farm raised, there are some wild caught fish but you have to look. The meat section is well stocked. Watching the prices raise based on the economic daily swings is sadly a reality. Do not attempt to ask for help from the staff because they do not speak English. One major complaint is that whoever changed the recipe ingredients in the vegan carrot cup cakes should explain why they went from top class carrot cup cake to packaged quality cement or tuck point worthy is beyond me. These cupcakes were so good I wanted to keep them a secret yet also to write a review of their quality. I know at least four other patrons bought them because they only stocked four packages per week. Ambiance is all about lighting and smells of the meat and fish section. No smells here. In this store location it's about integrated ethnic vibes and soon to be in direct competition with a Traders Joe's opening across the street. I wonder what that will bring in upgrades to Pete's. read more

Great place to shop! It is clean and organized. For me it was so good to see a property I used to visit (Kmart) used as a home for this store. I love the fact that you can find something that satisfies most cultures. They offer Russian, Polish, Greek, Serbian, Lithuanian, Indian, Middle Eastern, and Turkish foods just to name a few. Organic products are available at this location. They have Chef's that prepare sushi; and they offer a wide selection. This location features a large selection of Halal meat products and Deli options. They also have a wide selection of liquor aisle after aisle. They even had single cocktails for someone who maybe looking for a single cocktail. This location has a coffee shop that featured assorted drinks. They have cooked meals and an area to eat. They had Dubai chocolate, and assorted types of chocolate. read more

Great store for your produce needs. They have more of a variety compared to Jewel or Marianos. Eat their produce the day you purchase it. They also have a wide variety of items from various cultures. Meat selection is good. Bakery had good coffee cakes and donuts. Parking lot is awful. It is a terrible design. Be patient when driving through. read more

Fix your customer service employees and cashiers attitude and managers/lead cashiers need attitude adjustments Also, don't put on DoorDash or Instacart the item is in stock fully when you go there , there the item is not even available! Because you don't even have a space or a price tag so why do you keep updating those apps as if that item is available fix your inventory fix your shelves it's a mess! Get self check out! For Christ sake stop being cheap and hire better and friendly cashiers read more

This was our first time here to shop for some last minute snacks for our vacation to Petoskey, Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island. We were very impressed by this fresh market. The variety and quality of the merchandise here is superior to the more common popular supermarkets. They have a great international food aisle. I selected my favorite 16 ounce bag of Dot's pretzels for $6.99. I also selected a 16 ounce can of micro brew cherry soda with honey for $1.69, which I was not impressed with. My total bill for all of our vacation snack food items was $60. We agreed we will shop here again. Now we will stop at Binny's Beverage Depot for some alcoholic drinks. read more

Pete's Market - Great international fresh market - Organic Stores Near Me - Willowbrook, Illinois

My only complaint is the food is not protected from shoppers randomly sampling the food. So, I'll purchase items that are already packaged.

I really like this store, EXCEPT for their dry aged steaks in the butcher department. I spent $40 for a 45 day dry aged ribeye, bone in, and IT WAS AWFUL. It was extremely tough and flavorless---DEFINITELY NOT PRIME BEEF to begin with. Do NOT waste your money on this scam. I'll stick with Casey's in Western Springs from now on when I want a great steak. read more

Sam the manager on duty service was horrible in was sold bad apples and all the staff would do is argue about how it's past 24 hours and they couldn't return it, I showed them the card i purchased from them they looked at my apples and tried to tell me I didn't buy it there, when I showed him the apples were from the same company, Sam threatened to have me banned for trespassing because I wanted the GM information he lied and said he wasn't and the security guard told me to call tomorrow for the GM, customer service was horrible over exchanging some $7 apples read more

Pete's Market - Bad apples - Organic Stores Near Me - Willowbrook, Illinois

When this store first opened it was great. My shopping experiences were always pleasant and enjoyable. Now it's horrible, no more actual meat counter just prepackaged meats (that are often on the verge of expiring). Aisles way too narrow. Customer service non-existent, employees who seem disgruntled and management that is hostile and combative. Plenty of other grocery stores to do my shopping. read more

This is one of my favorite stores in the area. They literally have everything I could possibly look for. They have fresh juice, sushi, popcorn; literally anything you can think of. The store is bright and clean, they have a fresh food bar, an area where you can sit and eat, if you like and the customer service isn't too bad. I go here often because I like their sushi and fresh juice. They also have a great selection of vegan/vegetarian food, which I love! They just recently started a loyalty program you can sign up for. There's usually a free item every week. I have no complaints, I love this store. read more

Let's start by having employees who speaks and understand English. I went in looking for a particular item and I approached 3 employees and none of them understood anything I was saying. How can you give customer service when your employees can't understand you. Unfortunately this is a trend in most Pete's markets I have been to. Needless to say I will never shop there again. Good luck in Tinley park we will not except that! read more

I love this Pete's . The produce is fresh, the store is clean and the staff is great. They re opened the coffee/ smoothie bar and the young man Terrence who works behind the counter is a breath of fresh air. You can tell he loves his job and his energy is contagious. He is professional and positive. He really knows his coffee and was very helpful. read more

Message: Great job on the hot bar! Both Willowbrook and Orland. Really nice associates, too. Thank you! read more

Purchased 2 pre-pckaged rib meat pub burgers...Very, Very Greasy. Noticed a huge difference in in quality lately! The "rib meat" burger appeared to have a large amount of fat prior to cooking. Makes me think that Pete's maybe Cutting Burgers with more fat to add to purchase price. I even tasted pork fat in a beef burger!! After cooking, which took forever and produced small burgers the only taste left was grease ( no fat added to cook). Have purchases rib meat burgers at Pete's before these burgers didn't compare. Also loved petes pizza but quality seems off as well!! Repeat customer oopinion. read more

Aggressive and rude staff that seem so unhappy with life they take it out on others, especially the front end staff. I had the unpleasant experience of dealing with Toula and Hector who shouldn't be managers. This store lost us as customers for good. read more

I like store. Using coupons always feel like I'm getting ripped off, and many times I am. Coupons don't transfer over , if they'll give you a rain check , it takes at least 5-7 min to get someone to ok it. If they do ok it be careful as they'll try to charge full price anyway. Shop there just be careful... read more

I'm a sucker for a nice, locally owned market so I dropped in to check Pete's out while in the area. It was even more exciting than I expected! My first observation was the number of employees working hard to keep the displays organized and clean. There are multiple hot and cold food bars with many specialty and ethnic choices offered, from baba ganoush to fried seafood...there's something for everyone! The entire store was well-stocked and again I was amazed at the variety of ethnic options. I decided to get a meal to go (salmon, grilled veggies and rice) along with some specialty kombucha and a middle eastern wheat flatbread called tannour. The salmon was surprising flavorful, albeit just a tad more done than I'd liked (although that's to be expected when baked in volume). All in all, my meal was quite delicious and I was pleased with my other purchases. While in my initial amazed state, I took a few pix of the hot and cold bars with my phone for this review. Surprisingly, out of nowhere two men came up to me and somewhat brusquely asked me to stop, that there was a sign at the front which stated, "no pictures". Honestly, I didn't see the sign and apologized. One of the men asked me why I was taking pictures...I explained to give them a great review, which I felt they deserved. So this is why I'm not posting any pix here. It's also the reason I didn't give the store five stars overall. IMO the level of tact could have been better, but I still believe it's quite a nice store and I'd absolutely recommend it. read more

THIS IS REALLY STUPID, but I got a panic attack from a rude cashier... I come here pretty often to pick up their sushi and usually the employees are very helpful and nice, but today I had a cashier named Gabriela (older lady, dark hair and wears glasses) and she was incredibly rude to me for no apparent reason. I just wanted to get sushi and hot cheetos after a long day at work. I got to the line and noticed two lanes are about to open up. The younger girl waved the next customer to step up, which was me or the young couple next to me. So they proceeded to her's and I was at Gabriela's lane. She just finsihed ringing up a guy and the sprayed her station. I didnt think much of it because I thought she was keeping her station clean because of COVID-19. So I just waited there patiently, and she never acknowledged me or even looked at me.Mind you, I was in no rush. I didnt NEED to be anywhere and I wasn't rushing anyone. I just waited. I didnt care. After a few minutes of me waiting, she shouted over at me "Are you going to put your things down or you just going to stand there all day?!" I apologized at her and said i didnt know she was ready for me because she was cleaning and didnt signal me over. I didnt want to be *that one customer* to put their shit on the belt when the cashier isn't ready. Especially when making sure things are clean, bc AGAIN, COVID-19 procedures. She then gave more attitude saying "well theres no one in front of you, I don't have all day!" I got annoyed and said that she didnt have to be rude to which she proceeded to talk down to me some more. So I asked for her name. She told me her name is Gabriela. At this point I just wanted to pay and leave and just ignore her bad attitude.. So I grabbed my stuff, about to walk off but she grabbed the reciept and said "Here you can find my name right here!" As she circled her name in the receipt. I was so upset I stormed off responding 'ok bye, bitch!' I don't like confrontation and got defensive and left.. Way to add salt to a wound, lady. After I got to my car I called the store and explained my experience with her. Its stupid but I was balling my eyes out and kept hyperventilating bc I got a panic attack from this dumb, small exchange. Idk if the managers would do anything about it or if she fabricated her story. But I just wanted to eat sushi and walk my dog. I know this sounds like me overreacting from the panic attack and to crying, but I have really bad social anxiety. I felt like she singled me out maybe because of how I look or because I was alone. I am embarrassed that this happened with people around. I dont like this drawing attention or conflict. I sat in car trying to calm down for almost 3 hours. Obviously not going to drive with a panic attack going on. My boyfriend came by and tried to comfort me. Seriously! about 3 hours in their parking lot, hyperventilating. It fucking sucks. But its just a shitty experience overall and nothing can be really be done by this. I don't like to do the "let me speak to your manager." Especially since I work also in customer service at my salon and I know we get bad days too,,but don't take it out on other people, Gabriela. The manager was asked me if there's anything that can be done to make me feel better and tbh I just don't want to be uncomfortable when buying groceries. read more

Pete's Market - Panic attack start to finish. Thanks a lot, Gaby. - Organic Stores Near Me - Willowbrook, Illinois

I really liked this store. They carried a large variety of items. The store was clean and the cashier go us out quickly.

Grocery shopping is actually something I dread. I usually go when it is way too crowded, I'm in a rush, or I only need to grab a few things and can never find what I want. But Pete's is different! When you first walk in, you see a large array of fresh items. Fruits and vegetables, both organic and non, from all around the world. They have everything you could want, and you may even discover something new with their vast selection. Moving on, they have a great butcher and fish section. The employees are always fast, friendly, and have great recommendations! The isles are stocked with a wide variety of unique items that you won't find at your average store. Again, they have items from around the world, and everything is clearly labeled for easy navigating. From here, to the frozen section, the deli, and bakery, all are wonderful. They also have many vegetarian, vegan, and dairy free options, which I greatly appreciate. How can it get better? Well, it does! They have a HUGE hot food buffet, salad bar, and made to order tacos, burritos, sushi, and poke bowls! Let me tell you, their steak burritos are no joke! The meat is straight from their butcher, all the toppings are freshly cut, homemade salsa, all for $7! You can't beat it. Keep up the great work Pete's! I will be back! read more

Worse meats, especially chicken...goes bad a day after the "sell by" date. And bakery items become rocks the next day too. Unfriendly staff who walk the other way when asked to help. read more

Had the salad bar yesterday and was sick to my stomach all night long. Won't be going back.

They have some great options for international foods. However, I'm taking off 4 stars for them not requiring masks despite a statewide mask mandate that started at the end of August 2021. Some workers were also not masked. Don't see this at places like TJs or H-Mart or Mitsuwa where the stores ensure safety of customers and employees and where the clientele is a bit more enlightened. In response to Kris, of course I wear a mask. The point is for others to wear one according to current law. I come from a family of doctors, am fully vaccinated, and have no problem protecting others by wearing a mask. Others should do the same in a place you have control over. It's your job to enforce the mask mandate especially for your employees. This is not a new thing and we shouldn't have to explain this as nauseam after almost 2 years. Thanks, hopefully you will do better. read more

I recently purchased an organic basil plant. The plant looked good and smelled wonderful. When I reached home, the plant was dried out, and when I replanted it it wilted. I tried to save it for about three days and was unsuccessful. I went to the store to see if I can have an exchange and two managers on the evening shift, refused to give me another basil plant. They said this was a perishable item. It's a plant not food. It is very sad how management becomes very petty about a plant which they can replace from the company and I end up losing. All for a plant the management didn't want to lose money. Interesting. This is why I will never choose to go to the store again. Also, about a year and a half ago a person my car in the parking lot next to one of the cameras. Management and upper management and the company refused to give me the footage, so I can proceed with the claim. I filed the police report and filed a complaint with my insurance. The police officers are even went to the persons home and she denied everything. Sadly, because I saw her damage my car. Again, Pete's market management personnel and corporation made me lose $2000. And now I have lost a plant in $2000. read more

I agree this is the best stocked, most diverse grocery store around! Highlights include smoked fish, Sushi Burritos for $10 or $11. Excellent hot food bar(s). They even have an impressive selection of plants! They cater to all types of world, global, ethnic foods. Halal meats are clearly noted. Overall they have great sales/ specials, and prices are extremely fair. All these things make for happy customers - when you get a great deal, the consumer is happy! read more

Purchased several container of soup from the hot bar to take over to in laws house. Upon serving chicken noodle soup we found 2 large bone slivers in the bowls of soup that we were eating. Not only a choking hazard but could have caused a tear in the stomach or throat. Not acceptable! Be careful if you purchase the chicken noodle soup! read more

I was at Pete's Market on Saturday morning. I could not believe how many customers had NO masks on. I started shopping the aisles where a woman was stacking the shelves NO mask on. I asked her " Aren't u suppose to wear a mask?" Her reply was she had just taken it of. It was no where to be seen. I went past that aisle a number of times No mask. Finally about 15 minutes later a mask appeared. Many of the men stocking the shelves had their mask under their noses. I asked the Cashier "How come so many people have no mask on & the employees have no mask or they were under the nose?" The Cashier's reply was that " Pete's just doesn't institute any mandates about wearing masks." read more

I never buy from the open bar where they serve food but I went against my better judgement and got (crab salad) the day I did it has a long string of hair which probably was a mistake however I went to return it and they explained the policy which I totally get! Again this was and unfortunate situation which called for another way to handle things. He and (older gentleman)could've said ma'am I'm sorry about this let give you your $4.54 back. Instead he told me I couldn't get my money back without a receipt sir I just pulled hair out of my food he shrugged his shoulders. I didn't appreciate that at all. I have to say we as a people as a community blacks will always will be treated this way no matter what... I wasn't going to act a fool for $4.54 anyways I remembered I had put the receipt in my purse because if I didn't have it they were not going to give me a store credit. Nope, can't make me shop where they don't care about morals just money!! So disappointed it this store. #morals #epicfail #treatpeoplehowyouwantobetreated read more

I had four watermelon that I bought from there on Wednesday night. It's only been two days and all of them are foaming out of the side. The watermelons from Mexico are rotting from the inside out creating gas. Called customer service and they asked if I had a receipt and I said I'll look for it. No concern for public health on talking to the produce manager. The fruit isn't fresh here. read more

The selection and quality of the food is good. During this pandemic though it would be nice if the employees understood how to wear a mask. At least 1/3 of them had their noses hanging out. Makes you wonder what happens behind closed doors. read more

I waited a long time for this store to open and it didn't disappoint. The staff if generally pleasant and helpful. However on my last trip this past weekend the cashier was rude to the supervisor and complained loudly about being out on a register. Ok I get it, you're mad. But don't take it out in my groceries - I should've bagged my own food because he put frozen food and perishables in with canned goods and put heavy items on top of pastries. And the bags were ridiculously heavy. I emailed corporate shortly after including naming him and suggesting retraining for him, especially regarding proper conduct in front of customers. I still haven't heard back from them; I'm hoping this is due to them trying to resolve the problem with him and/or management and not lack or attention or care. But if they don't address this issue I can see this store going the way of Mariano's because read more

So finally got to the new grocery store in the area! Man this place is still jumping...it's new, it's super clean and it's busy. The produce section is huge and has everything one could ask for. However while everything looks fresh and amazing I did have some items going bad faster then I am accustomed to. For instance I had some cilantro and tomatoes that seem to go bad almost overnight. I'm not sure why this would be and I will continue to monitor things I buy there. The meat section is awesome with great selection and their butchers know what they are talking about. I won't mention the name of a certain competitor where sadly that's not the case. Also love the dry aged section!!!!!!!!!! The overall layout was a bit confusing at times, but I'm sure that just me being unfamiliar with the store. Overall I'm happy with the new Pete's, prices are good, selection is vast and they have happy employees! In fact my biggest complement is they are well staffed from the deli section to the meat section... read more

SEE OTHER ONE STAR REVIEWS FOR ROTTEN PRODUCE AND BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE Cauliflower was all brown - not Fresh Pete! I asked the gentleman that was stocking some over ripe apples and he said "that's it". - all they have is brown cauliflower. Same thing happened last visit about a month ago. I'll never go there again and I predict they won't last in Willowbrook for a year or two more. People in this area don't have to put up with bad quality when there is Jewel , Whole Foods etc.. right down the street - same or less expensive to boot! They buy SECOND HAND PRODUCE and sell it for retail. I worked at the South Water Market and know stores that do that - gross!! read more

Wow!! So clean, new and fresh. Best part, unlike Oak Brook Terrace.. the fresh produce section is warm and lovely. You have to wear your winter coat in Oak Brook Terrace when picking out your fruits and veg. Can't wait until I have more time to explore the whole store, but its definitely amazing from what I've seen. read more

If anyone has ever been to any Pets fresh food then they know about the selection/display/ price point/courteous and plentiful staff/cleanliness/ choices. And on and on. They are legendary and for us rev customers there is nothing new here and for those who have never been then check it out. But this review is the amp up the o derivation another notch. I dropped an entire case of beer ( bottles of course) resulting in a few bottles breaking. This happened right in front of an employee by the name of David. And what was his reaction??? Took about five minutes to clean up the mess since there were broken shards of glass strewn about:them once he assessed the situation and that the floor was safe for passage. Both from falls on the wet floor and from broken glass he proceeded to go and get me another. Age of beer all the while advising me that it was his job etc etc. at no time did he make me feel like a jerk or a bother. Etc Exemplary employee and wish I knew his name. Hopefully maybe only one Davis who was on shift Tuesday the 25 June at around 12:30 pm. Huge asset too the store in customer service. Just one more reason to shop at Pete's Harleymike read more

where do I start? Purchase ground turkey, made a pot of chili with it turns out the turkey was rotten threw it all away. Was having company purchased a dozen donuts, all stale threw them away. Two days ago purchased chopped walnuts that were on special. Made cookies for Thanksgiving, turns out the nuts are rancid. Not to mention all the butter sugar flour etc. that I wasted went into the garbage. I don't know why I keep going back to that place but it's over I'm done. How can you sell rotten, Stale food? You should be ashamed of yourself. read more
