I shop at the Crete location. Great store! Always clean. Very rarely are they out of items. Very nice people. Great service overall.

The good part about the place is that if you call them, they usually are very helpful. The store itself isn't anything special.

It's a Walmart (do with that information what you will)…read more Decent selection of items needed if you are traveling and forgot something. You want to get in and out with moderately low shenanigans? Go before 8am. You want to see a show, or are bored and want something to complain about, go anytime after 8am. Sidenote: many things are locked up and require an associate to open the case to get the items. I have no shame, and don't mind standing there and looking people in the eye when I ask for things. Just didn't expect personal/intimate items to be locked. I smell a conspiracy, but we will leave that alone at the moment.

Very Poor and disappointing communication…read more I placed an order on December 26, 2025 to have my groceries delivered between the times of 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM on December 27, 2025. The notification I received was that my order will be delayed and will be delivered at 1:14 PM which was fine until it was 2:30 PM and the groceries had not been delivered and the app then just says, " Delayed, still in progress." I called Walmart customer service many times and all I get is the AI voice repeating the same scripted message over and over and not providing any real answers. For example, I called for an update status on my order on Sunday, December 27, 2025 at 1:15 PM and the AI voice said, " Sorry for the delay, your order should be ready by 6:00 PM on Saturday, December 26, 2025. I tried to explain to the AI voice that today is Sunday and now my delivery is now over 24 hours delayed. Every time I request to speak to an Associate, the phone just rings and then an automatic voices tells me to visit the website which is also powered by AI and generating the same scriped messages. Here is the dilemma. They have a temporary hold on my card for $205.36 dollars, including delivery fees and driver tips. If I cancel the order, it will take 10 days or more for the money to be available back on my card. The app does not let me reschedule or allow any type of editing or a way to communicate. I have been shopping Walmart for groceries for as long as I can remember. I started doing the pickup when all the lanes went to self checkout because I felt like that I was working at Walmart for free. I decided to do home deliveries because the pickup times kept getting delayed and I was making multiple trips up to the store when the order was finally ready. Now, I see the delivery service is just as bad. I am posting here today to see if there are any customer service associated still employed at Walmart that can help resolve my issue because no one at the stores are answering phones and the app is useless for communication. Shopping at Walmart is starting to be a real inconvenience and I am tired of all the hassle.

I have not been a fan of super stores, as they tend to either get grocery right and everything else…read morewrong, or vice versa. Walmart and Target are two examples of that. Now that I live outside of Chicago proper, I no longer have access to some of the specialty markets and grocery stores I used to frequent. Meijer tends to meet my needs when it comes to grocery, home products, casual clothing, personal care products, and gardening. Two things that stand out the most was their gardening products. I had started gardening, so seeds, plant food, gardening soil, and other gardening items were reasonably priced. Being a pescatarian, there vegetables worked for me. But now that I grow my own, the gardening catalog worked perfectly for me. As to grocery, although there has been spike in grocery prices, they were not as high as I noted at other grocery stores. It helps that I take advantage of coupons, specials, and price reductions thanks to participating in their perks program. This store serves four immediate suburbs, so it tends to get busy on weekends, for sure. I go during the middle of the day when I work from home through the week. I have yet to go and not find what I needed. And because I am a very picky shopper, primarily from the perimeter of the grocery store, I have not been disappointed in what they have.

This review is for the bakery only. I stopped into the bakery to order a cake. I had previously…read moretried to order online, but I was having a difficult time doing that. So I asked the gal at the bakery counter if I could place an order and she looked at me and said 'I don't know if you want to, I guess' . I said 'oh I said if you're busy, I'll come back' . I asked how much time she needed for me to come back and she said I'm the only one here. When I mentioned, I tried to order online. She said I don't know why you're having a problem. We're getting online orders. She was not willing to help me. It was one of the worst experiences I've had at Meijer and Meijer is my favorite store. I just said that I will go to Strack and Van Til to place my order and she said 'fine go do that'. For reference this was Sunday 5:20 PM, June 28.

Really like this Walt's ... in fact it is better than the Tinley Park location we used to visit…read morebefore they closed down. Anyway, while it is a few miles farther away, it is a stellar grocery place. This Walt's has all the usual things you'd find in a typical grocery store, but here the shelves are stocked and blocked and fronted ... seems like management has their priorities in the right place. The store is very clean, and the employees are very friendly. The selection of meat/fish items is exceptional. Many outlets today don't have on site butchers ... the stores buy precut meat and repackage it with their name. While I am sure some of that happens at Walt's, they have a real live butcher also doing his thing, and it is a nice addition. Also unlike some other places, the selection of fish and lamb and beef is very broad. Many items are on the shelf and you do not have to special order. All in all this Walt's in Homewood was excellent. We'll continue riding out here o do our shopping as they have some of our local shops beat handsdown. Try it.

Why this store exists is beyond me!! Bakery is good. Very…read moregood. Deli is very limited but service is very very good. Whack job still works meat counter. Makes my wife very uncomfortable with unsolicited comments & advice. It is the checkout that drives me crazy. In the AM lines unreal. One nice old lady checking 5 to 15 people in line. Every morning. EVERY MORNING!!! No quick check out lanes used at all. I now spend my money at Berkots or Mariano's.

This location has a lot of use for me. Somehow, my draft of it disappeared. I went here at least 3…read moretimes. See, this is where my daughter swims for Illinois state swim competitions (high five if anyone else has a swimmer kid on a Michael Phelps diet), but I digress. There's certainly some humor of "but it's not in Illinois". But that's not why we come here. That's not why it gets real in the whole foods parking lot. Anyway, this a great location, everyone is helpful, and notably there is (of course as matters to me) a decent salad bar and a good amount of vegan options. Otherwise, I would not be coming. One thing of note though that I have needed many times is caffeine. They have a cold brew concentrate that uses a teaspoon or so for a cup of coffee! So read those words carefully: concentrate. That means, don't drink that whole bottle or you'll die, yo. That would be like a Futurama fry 100 cups of coffee moment. Or a Panera lemonade moment. There are some fun food options not at whole foods but in this area, and the pizza place nearby is also pretty epic. But you can't go wrong with whole foods, generally.

They have a great produce selection. I do come here as a first option for fresh organic vegetables…read moreand fruit fruits. Their meats in the butchery are good quality as well. For the price that you get. Wanna come to their pantry items be sure to search on your phone for competitive pricing. I came here to buy coconut milk and they only had one in stock for seven dollars. I knew nearby grocery store sold it for less. I tried their viral ice cream sandwiches and they were pretty good. They're about three dollars per mini ice cream sandwich. Expensive! I only come here when I need things that my first choice grocery stores don't have. The ambience here is nicely organized. The service of this location is not good ever. They are very mean here from Amazon to the regular Whole Foods workers everyone has an attitude. Very rare you will have a worker that is willing to help you at this location.
