Smith’s Food & Drug Centers

The store itself has alot of good points. Great meat! Some of the best filet cuts around. They have the best selection of organic produce, outside of whole Foods and HArmons. Sushi Guy always brightens up the place with his free samples and upbeat attitude and good sushi.
Deli is good, deli staff seems a bit put out. But, they have a great selection of Boars Head.
Bring your own bags, unless you want 1 plastic bag per item. Bagging can be a skill, but it’s easier just to twirl the bagging platform for each item, guess. 10 items, 8 bags. I guess the Bright side, I am more disciplined to use my own bags now.
They do not have a good selection over all, of brands. You can almost sense some sort of Kroger contract on many common products.

Before the remodel in 2014, their selection and variety was much better. Since the remodel, I’ve noticed several products they no longer carry, in several departments.
I have been here at least 15 times buying different cheeses and sadly, they’ve been expired, some by over 10 days and the shelf is littered with them. I’ve also seen multiple expired dairy items, eggs, milk, cream, butter, yogart, the entire lot or brand of it, not just one specific container.
The produce section had also become very sad and miniscule as to what they used to offer and I’ve seen the fruit is rotten at least 7 different times. They no longer carry any sort of sprouts (bean, alfalfa, or any variety).
I’ve used their pharmacy before and never had any issues, I enjoy the walk up window for pick ups and drop offs, especially.
This used to be my favorite grocery store location, but hasn’t been since the service and selection have rotted away.
At most times, there’s usually only 1 regular check stand open, so I resort to self checkout mostly.
The staff is usually pretty friendly and helpful, but that can only go so far.

The staff here is consistently friendly and very helpful. You can tell by how well run and organized everything is that they have a solid management crew running things.
The layout and aesthetics got an upgrade a few months ago. It was a nice upgrade.
Each department has been very helpful in our experience. Check them out!

Did not find good produce here. Vegetables and fruits were not very fresh and not very tasty. The salmon I ordered was not that fresh either. And the chicken legs were even frozen but thawing, they did not have fresh chicken legs.

Have my prescriptions here. Been out of my medication for 4 days. Yes 4 days. Good I don’t have a heart problem or I would be dead. Worst pharmacy I have ever experienced. They do not care and terrible service.

They just had a BIG remodel here which ended up to be Excellent. They have fresh sushi made, Boar’s Head deli meats at the counter, a very clean and extended olive and cheese bar and they even put in a section for health foods. The staff is helpful and friendly and the US bank inside has extended hours making it Very useful for the workday. Definitely my favorite grocery store.

Smith’s is your typical market, same family as our Ralph’s. You can use your Ralph’s card # for discounts. This is where we load up on groceries before heading up to the condo at Snowbird. If not you’ll be paying double the price at the Snowbird Center. We also buy our lift tickets here.

Kroger has got it figured out. Prices are fair, lots of items including a variety of glulten-​free stuff. Produce is nice, meat guys helpful. Garbage cans dotted here and there in case you need to throw something away. I’ve been shopping here for 10 years and know it like the back of my hand.
I like the gas discount. I’m sure the place is more than Winco but I’m not driving 12 miles and laying out $ 400 for groceries so Smith’s works for me.
There’s a Fresh Market across the street and a Ream’s less than a mile away. They do a robust business for a reason. The experience at Reams isn’t pleasant and it’s the most expensive of the three. Fresh Market is boring and seems to be more expensive than Smith’s for the things I buy. It’s exciting (as far as exciting it can be to go grocery shopping) because there’s so many people and so much going on. The place is alive compared to the other two stores.

As a directional note, sometimes this place gets listed at 2039 Little Cottonwood Road. Technically, once 9400 S. crosses over 2000 East (Highland Drive) everything to the east is Little Cottonwood Road. Which is also SR-​209. Clear as mud?
Once you’ve found the place (it’s actually a cinch) you can expect to find another Smith’s Food And Drug inside. This whole strip mall has been a bajillion things, but the Smith’s has been rock steady for a long time. Does anyone remember the store «Christmas In Utah» from the strip mall here? Great idea in December. Not sure how sales went in July.
Meat department, bakery, blah blah blah. It’s a grocery store. In a world of super upscale stores and natural and organic and all that new-​age grocery-​ness, these guys are right down the middle of the road. They’re listed as open 24 hours, but it’s been ages since I tested that. As a teenager (this is my old stomping grounds) I tested things like that frequently. Now? Not so much.

There are two Smith’s locations close to my home and this is my favorite. The staff seems the nicest and most courteous and the shelves are always pretty well stocked, even when they have their case lot sales. The store is clean as are the bathrooms (with two toddlers in tow, we’ve checked them out a few times).
Thought it’s not the cheapest grocery store (hello, Walmart), it is my go-​to store for quick grocery runs. And they do have some great sales. Plus their deli counter chicken salad is pretty good too!

Decent selection of food here, and fairly clean. I liked that they had the assortment of Rico burritos that are found in SLC. Cleanliness was alright. Prices were fair. Not bad.

This is one of the two Smith’s stores where I go for quick American groceries. They also have a limited selection of Asian groceries. The place is always clean. The self-​check-​out lane is the best feature they ever developed as a chain, since it speeds up the process so much quicker when I am only buying a few things. My kid especially loves their kid size shopping cart.
