We stopped into the Edwardsville location for a quick visit, picking up a bottle of red (from Australia) and a bottle of white (from New Zealand), along with some other stuff. I really liked how the wine sections were organized with large ceiling signs, allowing us to focus on specific types and then narrow it down by price and ratings. Checkout was a snap, with friendly, helpful cashiers.

I thought the variety of liquor was poor and leaned towards the lower end of quality and price point. With that being said, my local grocer beats them on price. I was not impressed with the mixers, garnishes and bar accessories, too. However, they did have an extensive selection of beer and the prices were good. For me, a cocktail snob, I'll make the drive to Edwardsville or Saint Louis for a better liquor store.

It is beautifully organized, the produce and fresh food dept- SO IMPRESSIVE! There is an amazing alcohol area, and even the frozen food section feels A+ Top Notch! Really enjoyed my shopping experience here! They have lots and lots of fresh, organic, and allergy-friendly items! The prices are a bit high but you are paying for quality! My only heartburn- apparently the city of Edwardsville banned bags and this store charges if you do not have your own bags. That was annoying. Will definitely come back here when visiting family in the area!

I love this store. It is so worth the drive from my home in Godfrey…read more The produce department, just blows my mind. The variety and freshness of all the vegetables and fruits is huge. I can find unique items that you do not see at other grocers. I am wanting to eat healthier this year and this department is helping me achieve that goal. Another department that I enjoy is the, Deli and Prepared Foods. I have ordered from the prepared foods department for many of my parties. It makes life so much easier and everyone loves the appetizers. The butcher/meat department is as impressive as the produce. Also, the Dierbergs label is just as good as a name brand and it helps you save money on your total bill. If you're a drinker, the liquor department is a mini liquor store located inside a grocery store. The variety of wine and beer is huge. If you over drink and do something stupid, you can use Dierbergs florist to help get yourself out of trouble. The staff on the floor are helpful when I cannot find what I am looking for and the cashiers are friendly and move the lines quickly. Reminder: The store is in Edwardsville, so take your own bags, otherwise you'll be paying 10¢ a bag.

Pro tip: definitely check their hours before you go--and honestly, just plan your day around it because it's that good. I was expecting your typical little coffee-and-sandwich spot, but it completely exceeded my expectations. They have a couple of parking spaces behind the building, and if those are full, there's a free lot about 500 feet down the road. It was pretty busy at lunchtime. You order at the counter, and they bring everything to your table. There's a mix of indoor and outdoor seating in various sizes, and the decor is adorable. I especially loved the maps--they make great conversation starters. I noticed several tables pointing out places they'd visited and swapping travel stories. The menu has a nice variety. I ordered the chicken salad on ciabatta with a side salad. The chicken salad had a strong dill flavor that I really enjoyed, and the ciabatta was perfectly fresh--not too tough. Next time, I'll probably pick a different side since the salad was basically just lettuce. If there was any dressing, it was super light, so I ended up adding some of the lettuce into my sandwich. The surprise standout, though, was the lavender lemonade--a total sleeper hit. It was scorching hot that day, and I wanted something refreshing, so I ordered it on a whim. Honestly, it was the best lemonade I've ever had. I don't usually find myself making a special trip to a café just for lemonade, but here I am. I'm not sure if it's seasonal, but I really hope it sticks around.

Their prices are generally competitive, augmented by further promotional discounts via the store app, points earned thru their loyalty program, and special prices in-store on the end cap displays. Staff are usually friendly and helpful. Their inventory is decently well-organized into various categories (e.g., all wines in the same area and grouped by type and/or region, vodkas together, craft beers together, etc). If I go in wanting some bourbon without a particular brand in mind, this is very helpful. Where I occasionally run into trouble is when I go in looking for a particular brand. I can usually find the category well enough, but spend many minutes trying to find the brand I came in for. Overall, though...I recommend for the vast selection, pricing and helpful staff.

Alas, it was not at this location. That said, the selection on other things is decent but it's a lot of 'one bottle only'.
