Kroger

This store is pathetic. I have lived around numerous Kroger stores throughout my life and this one, by far, is the worst. They cannot manage to keep many of the basic items that a person needs in stock. Do you want almond milk? Good luck. Looking for Rall Allman’s? Forget it. I have been living in this neighborhood for two years and without fail, every time I go to the store with a list of items to obtain I walk away shorthanded because they cannot manage to stock adequately to serve the vicinity. Honestly, I wish this place would simply shut down and be replaced by a Publix. I’ll bet things would be different if there was some competition in the area. Believe me, it is worth the time to drive further away to do your grocery shopping.

Unfortunately I only still shop here because it’s right next to my house. While other area Krogers are Light years beyond this one with their offering and management, this Kroger still has a tough time keeping their shelves stocked. Produce is particularly bad for some reason. About half of the time you go, the produce section will be out of what you need. Milk is another issue, as well is bread. You know, the stuff that everyone buys. Hope they get it figured out because I would like to continue shopping here.

Produce is okay, the meat department has made some improvements. The employees are sometimes friendly when you check out and then sometimes they won’t say one word to you. I have never had a good experience at the deli. The only way that you can get any help at the deli is if you are an employee. Customers just stand there while 3 – 4 employees stand around behind the counter. It’s really shocking that the management allows this to take place. I’m so excited for Publix to open soon in the area! I heard one is going in on Franklin Pike. I will definitely being go there, where «shopping is a pleasure.» Also, the customer service at Osborne’s on Belmont is so much better. I would do most of my shopping there, but they just don’t carry everything.

I was a Harris Teeter shopper until they closed, so I was forced into frequenting this kroger that I only ever shopped at when the teet was closed.
I love the remodel, and especially enjoy all my new cheese options. Rose the clerk is just about the best thing about going to the Kroger. I am sad when I go and she isn’t working – but that’s very rare.
If the fuel station had diesel, and there was more parking this would be a great grocery. Until then, 3 stars.
Pro tip: get the manager’s special bread they keep in the far back right corner. Always tasty items back there.

«You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.» This place did get renovated last year, but the staff is still the same, which makes it almost unbearable to shop here. Unless of course you are doing a self check out and do not have to visit the deli. I have never, not once, had a good experience at the deli. The one lady that is always there yells at everybody, and is completely rude for no reason. When I say everybody, I mean the four to five other employees piddling with chicken salad and such and the ever present line of customers. The woman is just plain rude. Whatever you do, don’t ask for thin sliced meat, the frustration caused by the extra effort required by the staff to run a couple extra swipes of the slicer is clearly communicated to you in verbal and non verbal ways (ie. giant eye rolls, huffin around all slowly, yelling, «IS THIS THIN ENOUGH???» at you while placing a slice (not even that thin) of roast beef in her line of sight to your forehead as if it were the cross hair of a rifle scope). All you can do is say yes that is perfect, thank you. I’m pretty sure she gave me the Kroger brand when I requested Boar’s Head. Will I eat my sandwhich with this tainted meat? Yes, I’m truly afraid to confront this woman in the deli. Publix cannot arrive soon enough.
The one bright spot at this place is Rose the cashier. That one extra star up there is for you Rose, you earn it with your ever present smile and great attitude. Your line is worth the wait. Thanks for being the glue that holds this Kroger together.

This Kroger’s is safe and convenient has a good Variety of organic foods easy check out! Got a mixture of your crunchy rockers and your preppy country musicians and everybody’s pretty friendly and chill

This location drives me crazy! It’s so close to my house which makes it super convent. However I walk out of here so frustrated.
I can never get service in the deli department. This whole staff needs to learn what working with a purpose looks like. They all lollygag around the store slowly getting things set up. Learn how to hustle and work!

I think someone pointed out at a previous grocery store review that everyone has their favorite and I totally agree. My favorite Kroger is in Green Hills. It is clean, easy to navigate and just better. But anyway, my review is about this Kroger. I can’t say that I will ever return to this location unless it is super convenient. It was older, dirtier and everything was located in weird spots. I spent more time trying to locate items then I should have.
Also, the lines were long. The self check out had a line, and the three other people actually working the registers all had lines. I am hoping this was the reason that the cashier was so dang unfriendly. I usually tend to do self check out because it is quicker since I usually don’t have a lot of items. I should have done it this time too. I don’t think she ever spoke to me. The bagger asked how I was doing, finished bagging my items and then walked off leaving my cart almost in the middle of the aisle. I get out to my car to put the bags in and my eggs were upside down and with my dog’s food. Since when do eggs, thrown upside down, and dog food go in the same bag? I will hopefully not be returning to this location again.

This Kroger went through a complete remodel and is now very nice. We go to this store every week for groceries or to take advantage of the discount on gas with a Kroger card.
This store seems like it’s well staffed since we’ve never had to wait in long lines to check out. Always in and out quickly!
Also, their beer selection takes up an entire refrigerated room. Never seen that at a grocery store before!

I sometimes shop at silly hours of the night/​morning and my visit at 3am was a typical one. There were about a dozen people in there shopping which surprised me, but hey, guess they’re making use of the 24 hour market.
I went to buy my boyfriend some hamburger meat since he loves burgers. None. The whole meat section was pretty bare. There were two pre-​made burger patties in the refrigerated section — which didn’t seem to be refrigerated — and instead of a bright red color indicating freshness they were almost gray and looked weeks old. No thanks. Thankful I’m vegan after seeing that.
Of course the only checkout option this late is the self checkout which we all know is never a smooth transaction. The clerk was in a conversation with his drunk girlfriend so whenever I needed help he just randomly hit a button with his back turned. To be honest I could’ve just put everything back in my basket and only paid for one item and he wouldn’t have even known.

My favorite Kroger’s in the Nashville area. This one is located in a really nice area and it is clean! Most of the Kroger’s are not clean, but this one is very nice!
I like to go here before work, I can always get in and out quickly.
I hate to stop at most places due to the fear of being attacked in the early morning hours. but I never feel unsafe here! That is good for me, I travel a lone in the early morning hours going to work.
I am a Kroger member so I get a great discount while shopping and I can always double my coupons here too, so that is a great savings.
I really enjoy my KROGERING here!!!

This location is either never busy or I’ve been several times when there isn’t a rush. I stop in here for last minute work supplies and they usually have what I’m looking for. The store is generally quiet and tidy, I guess on account of no one ever shopping in here. Their natural foods section is teeny tiny and I usually buy yogi teas here when they’re on sale, but the selection is much smaller than the Kroger I usually go to. Parking is ample, it’s easy to get to and that’s all I have to say about this place.

This location is right by my place of work so it’s super convenient and has things I need.
Pros:
–Friendly workers; they remember you if you’re there enough and also make it impossible no matter HOW FAST you walk (I walk fast as a tornado), you cannot walk by a worker without them asking how you’re doing today, or asking if they can help you find anything.
–I love the little set up of desserts that is «perfect for two», so just two slices of cake or something in a container instead of a whole cake. I take those two slices and make them a «perfect for ONE» instead, but thats my own sweet tooth problem.
Cons:
–I don’t understand why in the mornings they only open half the self check outs, so there is a line of 10 people waiting to check out and they just wont open the other kiosks.
-(this has nothing to do with the place itself) I always get real funny looks from fellow shoppers. One time a guy stopped traffic in the parking lot because he was too busy standing in the road with a disgusted look on his face as and long after I walked by him. So much so he had to ask «why the heck i’d do that to my hair».
–Out of stock of many things. Maybe they just do all their stocking in the mornings, as I do see them doing much of that when I’m there, but many times they’re out of my favorite water, or apples, or protein drink, etc. Often for days at a time.
Its not the cleanest, not the fastest, not the most motivated staff, but its there! Its convenient, and the people who work there are real nice… usually.

Generally speaking, the Kroger Fuel centers in town tend to have lower per gallon gasoline prices than other stations across the city. When you add on top of that price a 3 cent discount simply for using your Kroger Plus card, and a 10 cent discount for every $ 100 spent in store (up to a $ 1.00 discount for $ 1000 spent, and points accumulate over a month), then I definitely feel like I am getting a good deal.
I would probably shop at Kroger for groceries anyhow without the fuel discount, but the discount feels like an added bonus. They lose a star for the lack of fuel centers across town. I only know of three: this one, the one off Charlotte and the one near old, abandoned Bellevue Mall.
Anyhow, I find their gas prices a pretty good steal.

3 cents off every gallon of gas with your Kroger card.
Convenient location — nearby banks, Walgreens, BBQ restaurant, burger joint, cleaners, coin laundry.

Kroghetto!!! I live within walking distance of this Kroger and use it a lot for the little items I would have to drive to get at Whole Foods. The staff is usually very pleasant to me and I frequent between midnight and 3am. They don’t have a wide organic selection, but their selection and freshness has improved since I first found it in 2006. I can’t really comment on it during the daytime hours, since I’m only there at night, but the one time a gentleman took issue with me in the parking lot, four employees came to my aid super-​quick. It’s clean, it’s convenient, it’s not anything spectacular. I like it a lot more than the Green Hills Kroger (shudder) because Green Hills’ employees are always having inappropriate conversations near the doors and you have to contend with Red Bull-​high soccer mom’s in SUVs with seven cell phones and even more children in the parking lot.

This is a good one, especially between 10 pm — 7 am. You can find more stuff than groceries if you know where to look. Hint: one of the rusted out cadillacs in the parking lot.

This Kroger is affectionately referred to as «Ghetto Kroger.» Although I’m not sure what is so ghetto about it. I’ve been told, though I can’t confirm, that prices are slightly higher at this location than the neighboring ones. I find it to be very clean and well maintained. They also have an impressive organic/​health food section, set apart. There is soy milk, granola, and a separate frozen food area. Perfect for the health freak. I’ve never had to wait in a line here too, which is a plus. Their self check out is always free.

I’ve had good and bad experiences here. I go here on a regular basis because it’s about 3 minutes from my house. There are a few women greeters that stand at the doors when you come in. When they are working — it automatically puts me in a better mood when I walk in because they are so friendly and genuine. I had a good experience with the pharmacy here. (As opposed to the Walgreen’s next door, and you can read my review on them on here as well if you would like.) It was 3 $ for my prescription and I only waited 15 minutes (and I didn’t even call ahead) as opposed to Walgreen’s overcharging me 45 $ and telling me it would be at least an hour wait. I get things cheap overall with my Kroger plus card. There is an older man that works at the computer by the self check out which is usually where I go. He is very kind, helpful, and friendly. Anytime he sees that I have a lot of drinks in my cart that are heavy, he automatically rings them up for me so I don’t have to lift them.
I have had bad experiences however, and it’s always with the younger employees. It nearly puts me in a bad mood when I go to the checkout and the younger employees are there. Half the time they are goofing off, or just not paying attention whatsoever. They never ring my drinks up, and half the time I have to flag them down to even get their attention. One time when I did get a girl’s attention, she double charged me for (3) 12 packs, AND she didn’t give me the discount! When I asked her about it, she denied it, and when I showed it to her on my receipt, she shrugged and told me I would have to go to customer service to get my refund. I’ve had a few encounters like this with the younger staff, being rude and over charging. I think in general they really just don’t care. But because of the nice, older employees, and because it’s 3 minutes away, I’ll keep going back.

This is one of the WORST grocery stores for service that I have ever been to. And I refer specifically to this location. Out of the three times that I have been there, I have encountered TWO major problems with guest services that wound up costing me precious time to fix. The first time, the checker forgot to put my last bag into my cart. I got home, realized a bag of stuff was missing, and called the store. Some girl who obviously didn’t give half a sh*t about my plight put me on hold for FIVE minutes, I eventually had to hang up and call her back. She told me she had asked the checkers, and no one knew of a bag left behind. So I had to drive all the way back, go inside, walked up to the checker who had forgotten, who without a word immediately recognized me and gave me my bag. That kid on the phone hadn’t asked anyone, she was just LAZY. Today, the checker spent five whole minutes sorting out why he couldn’t get an item off my price that wasn’t supposed to be there, which is fine, I understand sometimes it’s easy to make mistakes, but then when I slid my credit card and asked to use my Kroger account to get my discount, he had already finalized it without a word and just tole me «sorry bout that». So I didn’t get my discount, which should have been big cause i bought a lot of groceries. ARGH!!! Utterly useless and lazy, didn’t bother to get a manager to fix the transaction, just sent me on my not-​so-​merry way paying the higher price. F this place, not going back; willing to drive to a further store to get some competency.
