Mariano’s

I hate how this Marianos has half of the stuff that majority of the others do. It would be nice to have a super Marianos like everyone else. But everything from there is great, esp their creamy chicken and wild rice soup !!!

As an amateur meathead I meal prep weekly. I also can’t cook. I’ve been coming here weekly to get my meat for a few months now. I’ve even begun going straight to the butcher and getting my chicken and trying various fishes and marinades/​sauces instead of going to the refrigerated area and getting my usual. The butchers are all very helpful and knowledgable. I take the meat to the deli/​sandwich/​sushi area (after buying it) and they cook it for me. 15 – 20 minutes for my week’s worth of meat (2lbs of chicken and a couple fish fillets usually) to be grilled and ready to pick up. I purposely aim for dead times so as not to tie them up (they get pretty busy during lunch rush). They are super helpful and friendly too.
While that gets cooked I stop at the juice bar and get an apple ginger zing smoothie. My 14 month old son loves it (I swear if you see me in person I’ll just say he’s 1 but a couple months can make a difference where food is concerned at this age). I also pick up my precut fruit (fresher and better quality than jewel with more variety) and other basics. Then I go to the hot bar and get my kid a chicken tender and some sweet potatoes or rice. If I let him eat only the sweet potatoes he would. He’s also a fan of the broccoli cheddar soup. I enjoy the lobster bisque. Neither of us are fans of the chicken and wild rice (kind of bland– that’s my opinion. My kid just spits it out). I keep saying I’ll try other soups but I’m a creature of habit. I’ve been told chicken and noodle is good and the cornbread by the soup bar are delicious.
I also get myself a small salad at the salad bar (more well rounded than Jewel’s offering) and the employees who stock it are very friendly too. Check out is standard and again cashiers and baggers are friendly. My only complaint is NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO BAG GROCERIES ANYMORE! That’s not just here but everywhere. I worked in a grocery store in high school and literally had to attend bagging school. I even do the solid of putting things on the belt accordingly (cans together, frozen together etc) and it still gets jumbled. I see one lone item in a bag that could’ve gone elsewhere. Anyway… my weird personal pet peeve aside… The various bakery items I’ve tried are pretty good, haven’t tried the gelato. I don’t get staples here (detergent, cleaning supplies etc) because it’s expensive. I’m willing to make the extra trip to another store for those. I come to Mariano’s for the quality and convenience of their meat and fruit/​veggie variety and I’m willing to pay a little more for that.

I was in Shorewood Mariano’s today, because I wanted to place an order for thanksgiving, And the experience was awful. I went to the meat department and pulled a # and the meat boy instead of calling the next number, or asking who was next he skip me ask the customer that was nearest to him and only after the customer said she was number 30, he ask me what number was I. When he ask me what I needed and I told him what I wanted to order he proceeded to laugh. He went back to tell the next meat boy what I needed and without even asking he said we don’t have those, I ask for a Manager and the Manager from where he was standing answered him by saying what does she want? In a Rude Manner! When I told the manager what I needed he told me we don’t sell those. I advised him that I previously called and was told that they did. He continued to dismiss it and after a minute or so ask me for our phone #, so that he can contact his Manager or DM to see if it was possible. The Stereotype behavior was so awful, I have been to Mariano’s before and never have I received this type of service. Not to happy with this store.

I just moved from an area that had a Mariano’s, so this isn’t a new exciting place for me. With that said, I like the store, layout, and amount of groceries (especially the meal deals and hot food bar). My only grip is the employees, they are all young and seem to be very unprofessional. I am a multi-​unit manager and I would highly suggest the managers are more aware of the staffs professionalism and perception to customers, it’s a big turn off… and it’s EVERY single visit.

Always great customer service. Others should learn from the Mariano’s experience. From the girl at the coffee care this morning, to the guy at the butcher department a couple of days ago. All well trained and always kind. Quality over cheap/​quantity. Great experience with no added stress of other stores in the area.

Mariano’s continues to provide a solidly pleasant shopping experience. The store is clean, well laid out and well stocked and the staff is knowledgeable and always friendly.

My favorite grocery store by far in the area! They have such a wide selection, and everything is so fresh. I love the olive bar, and the deli. You can get freshly made sandwiches, pizza, Panini’s. Salads etc. They also have a wide selection of freshly squeezed juices. And all kinds of fresh fruit and the prices are reasonable. They are much cheaper then Jewel. They have all kinds of different flavored brats. My favorite is the Philly Cheese Steak Brat… yum. Also different flavored burgers, like bacon and cheese burgers. The staff is very helpful, and very polite. You should definitely try this place!

We used their floral dept for a large wedding. Karen and Shari went over and above. Their creativity was amazing. They delivered and set everything up at the church and country club for a modest fee. Far better than a Florist. Will always be my go to for flowers.

Service much better than when they first opened. Lots of variety. Clean store. Wish they would add more cashiers when the service desk notices more than 2 customers in line, especially on the weekend.

Love this store!!! I’m addicted to the fresh salad bar & fruit bar!!! And the glazed fresh croissants are out of this world!!! A lot of ppl complain that the prices are too high! Well you get what you pay for?!

I finally went to Mariano’s to see what’s so great about it. When I walked in, I was immediately offered samples of two freshly squeezed juices. Okay, I’ll take it. The grapefruit was pretty good. But who drinks grapefruit juice?
Mariano’s is very busy on a Saturday, like any other grocery store, and I hate being in grocery stores on Saturdays. I need to remember to go to grocery stores on weeknights. Why do I do this to myself? Packed parking lot, people whizzing through aisles pushing carts like bumper cars, people just stopping in the middle of the aisle to space out or take a phone call… it’s not for me. There’s a piano player at the front of the store, adding to the frou-​frou experience that I think has people so psyched for Mariano’s. I prefer bad 80s and 90s soft adult contemporary pop. Michael Bolton, anyone? Sorry, it reminds me of my childhood. So the piano player didn’t really do it for me.
There were plenty of other samples throughout the store. I sampled a bite-​size piece of the pizza from their deli, there was some kind of promotion for two slices and a pop that day. The pizza kind of sucked though.
Mariano’s had me at the soup bar. I bought a small cup of lobster bisque for $ 2. While the soup didn’t have many chunks of lobster, the broth was creamy and full of flavor. Pro-​tip: dip the ladle all the way to the bottom to get some lobster meat. They had at least 4 other soups available that day too.
The deli, hot bar, and bakery areas are the most appealing. The meat department has fresh sausages, so I’ll go back sometime to try the chicken feta sausages.
I also bought a container of salted caramels, which had a weird maple flavor to them. The caramel was a grainy texture and not smooth at all. Avoid the Roundy’s brand chocolates at all costs!
The employees at Mariano’s stand out to me. Those passing out samples were very friendly and talkative, and the cashiers and baggers didn’t look like they had mentally checked out for the day. All of them were clean, dressed professionally, and appeared alert. My first job was in a grocery store, and I’d have never guessed it was even possible to NOT look like a robot.
I’ll be back sometime. On a weeknight. To get some sausages. And some soup.

Wonderful staff! Never have to wait too long for anything. Store set up smart and great variety!

Great variety on organic produce. Found most specialty items I was looking for. The all natural ribeye was amazing!!! If you want good natural foods then this place is the best in the area by far! Grass fed beef, free range vegetarian fed chicken, all natural additive free pork, fresh wild caught fish… All in the local area at reasonable prices! Thank you Mariano’s

Customer service is always top notch.
It can be a little pricey on certain items but you get what you pay for!
Their fresh juices are awesome. I love shopping there and tasting all the samples!

I used to come here every Tuesday and Thursday to grab a quick salad in between my classes since they had a salad bar and it’s hard to find vegan food on the go. It was always very clean and after a quick chat with one of the employees they told me they had a vegan section. Even though I had to drop one of the classes I still come occasionally on my way home from class. Although a little pricier, they are much more organized and ‘classier’ than Walmart or Jewel.

I LOVE Mariano’s! The staff is super friendly and helpful. I love the meat department. The varieties of sausage is delicious! The produce department makes me happy. The gelato bar is a family favorite. Great addition to the area. Keep up the great works guys!

I have a friend who works at Mariano’s and they always tell me horror stories of what’s it like to work there. The management treats the employees horribly and they get yelled at for everything they do. I’ve witnessed the unhappiness in the employees when I’ve went and I’ve took it upon myself to not go there anymore. If they treat there employees like this, then they’d obviously treat there customers even worse.

It’s a rather nice grocery store. I don’t buy into the extras much like the gellato, popcorn, hot food station stands. Simply because I won’t use them so if that’s your thing they seem nice.
I thought the deli counter was over priced beyond jewel but all of the other grocery items seemed in line price wise with jewel.
Atmosphere is great, although I would have hoped they changed it more then the look of Dominiks. It looks similar to what it did with a bit of flash.
Nice people, wide selection more then others.
I’ve frequently visited since it’s open but no real need to go out of my way for a stop here.

I would give this place a 5 star if this store had the same products the the Frankfort one has. The bakery here is way smaller. This location is missing my favorite rolls, breads and sugary treats. The meat counter is smaller here also. And, the cheese section just about made me cry from disappointment. My cheeses that I get from the Frankfort location are not here. The staff is wonderful and the produce is top shelf. But, I was walking around like I was missing something. This is a great store, but it is not as grand as the other locations I have been too. If I want a gelato I will drive here. But, if I want all the stuff I love to buy, I am going to go to Frankfort.

Very nice, very clean, more comparable to Jewel price wise definitely not Dominick’s, can but your meat and have it grilled for free right there, nice produce and bakery, and of course my daughters favorite the little shopping carts for kids
