Kroger

This Kroger is small compared to most locations. Located near the Cobb Galleria in Cobb County on Cobb Pkwy and Cumberland Blvd. One of the few Krogers with self checkout and a kiosk for making keys. Lines were short and employees were helpful. At times it can be difficult to get out of, especially during rush hour but this location delivers in the clutch.

A one star winner. You’re going to love this one.
The pros:
1. There are absolutely no pros to coming to this hole where demons spawn.
The cons:
1. Just a general feeling of dread when you walk in here. It’s in a nicer area of Cobb County to there is no reason why it should be so dreary. Not a lot of people working in there during peak hours. I was wondering why business was so sparse at 8:00 at night. Usually people are stocking up on groceries for the upcoming work week.
2. Pretty unclean place with a ton of «Manager’s Specials» on a lot of items. That’s Kroger’s secret code for expired today or at least yesterday. This leads to the not-​so-​fun part.
3. So I’m thinking about buying a bunch of chicken breast for my upcoming week. I start looking at the meats, decide to buy some bacon, and it just seemed like the temperature was way off, as in, a little warm for the meats section. I buy my pre-​packaged bacon (that sentence almost became a naughty one had I decided to use the word meat), and move on to the «fresh» meats.
Low and behold, I see the coveted Manager’s Specials and WOWEEES! on their meats. That’s because the meat is all going bad. In fact, a lot of the ground stuff was grey. As in really grey. This is pre-​packed meat as well. This place would be a CDC scientist’s dream for collecting samples. If the zombie apocalypse happened this place would be ground zero. Patient zero would most likely have started the infection process. Making sure to know where the utensils section was became important to me because I know how to create makeshift weapons out of broomsticks, mop handles, and the like. Plus lighter fluid comes in real handy for killing the infected and their germs.
Grey meat! Grey meat! I’ve honestly never seen anything like this in my life. Nary a soul in sight for me to address my concern, I bought some pre-​packaged (there goes the naughty streak in me) items and got the heck out of dodge.
This place has earned my elusive three P award:
1. Piss
2. Poor
3. Pathetic
P. S. Yes I will be contacting their corporate office. Yes I am reporting them to OSHA and the USDA. Yes I do hope they either close or fire every living soul (or undead person) in the place. Nobody should ever be subjected to this lack of basic human care about the food safety of people. Hands down the most disgusting Kroger I’ve visiting in the Atlanta area. Then again, Cobb Country doesn’t count as Atlanta so I guess Atlanta is a little safer.

The vinings store on Cobb Parkway has just about the finest, most professional service people in the store… His name is Kemlon and he is in the meat department… So when there, and if you need assistance, please ask for his help

If you go to Walmart you will get faster service. Most of the time I come into this location there’s one gentleman and an extreme line. This time coming to the location and was even worse. Mr. PORTIER walked passed then took very long to find someone to help the line go down. Especially in the guest care and money services the time is to long. Mybe 2 mins away go to publix for faster service.

Good luck finding anything where it is supposed to be in this Kroger. Great location but I’m surprised someone from Corporate hasn’t come down and fired everyone for how poorly unkempt this store is.
A few things that need serious attention/​should not have gone so long without being fixed/​how unsanitary: terrible selection of produce and I barely even cook, what is available is rotting and dry, good luck finding any herbs besides a forest of arugula, a bird was living there for two weeks (I wonder what he snacked on/​slept/​urinated/​ick), there was a giant furry caterpillar living in one of the «potted herbs» you can apparently buy-​how did the person restocking not notice? He was there a week later. The catapillar, not the employee. Speaking of employees, a lot of very helpful ones. But most are not helpful and resist responding. After a particularly uncomfortable experience with an employee there I’ve finally decided I’m going to make the extra trek to Publix.

They actually have a bird living in the store. The bird makes it meals out of the fresh produce. And you know what a bird does when it eats… on the produce.

I do like this store, but… Last week I bought some groceries and I didn’t notice until the next day that the bag of oranges that I bought one was completely covered in mold. Not just one little side or a spot, the whole entire thing. It was disgusting. So just a little warning, check your produce before you pay!

What can i say about Krogers… I’m sure I’ve been to one but I guess it wasn’t as memorable as it was this time. THIS PLACE IS HUGE AND HAD EVERYTHING. ESP. AN EXTENSIVE CHOICE OF WINES!!! Everytime I came here while I was visiting, i didn’t want to leave. They had so many different items to chose from. I’m sure there are other super markets that have different selections, but I enjoyed coming here. The prices aren’t so bad. The cashier was really nice too. Fun place to shop.

It’s a good store also open 24 hours. Really helpful for those people staying on Cobb parkway and the Cumberland boulevard. You got good selection and variety of items here. They have everything fresh when compared to other stores of its kind. Especially veggies nuts Etc. They have self checkout available and western union too. Staffs are really helpful in finding something. They got great selection of wines which is awesome and you may get some vintage ones like from 2010 and 2009 for good price. It’s a nice place and hell lot of parking and even good restaurants nearby and even a nail spa. Because of the road works it’s not hard to get out the place to goto main road (at this time of review) but it’s ok and it’s gonna be fine soon. They have red box in front and lottery as well. Bakery items are good with nominal prices. Got self checkout and pls don’t forget the Kroger card as the price is always different for the customers who is having the card and it’s free to enroll as well. Altogether it’s a good place and will definitely come back for sure and I recommend to all !

Im not a big fan of this Kroger. Its small and they don’t have a sushi station. I prefer the Kroger on South Atlanta Rd.

Store layout could be better, haven’t had any major problems. Staff could benefit from some customer service training. I shop here mainly because it’s closer to me than the others in the area.

LETS GOO Krogering. This location is open 24 hrs as of now. I prefer to do midnight grocery shopping, so this is a very convenient spot! Bring your Kroger Plus card!

I was a big fan of Kroger in college. They had everything in the Rome location — a gas station and all the best produce.
This location is super tiny compared to the one I use to shop at. There isn’t a gas station here either so using your fuel points is a challenge. What really earns this Kroger a glowing 3 stars is the customer service. The cashiers here are just rude. I have had cashiers who have walked away from me in the line and scolded me at self check out.
Regardless of the below average customer service, they do have a lot of good deals here… So that will keep me shopping here.

I’m not usually a Kroger shopper, so I guess it’s not surprising to me that I didn’t notice (or remember) this store was literally around the corner from my new apartment. Back in the day I remember coming here when I used to visit friends that lived in Smyrvinings. Now I’m in the area and popped in to check things out.
The parking lot is still awkward. The inside of the store has been renovated, though. Yay!
I think I’m probably equidistant to two different Publix stores and I’ll probably keep driving farther to shop there. However, this place will come in handy for quick stops and late night food runs.

I don’t even know where to start with this review. So. .. here goes:
First, it was not that late, but late enough (about 10:30) that J and I were both totally punch-​drunk after mutually long and hard days.
Second, the above made it both frustrating and hilarious to have to criss-​cross around the store trying to find the small number of items that we needed to get for me in my new extended-​stay existence.
Third, why the hell is it so hard to find paper/​plastic plates and silverware (my kitchenette is schmancy but doesn’t come with such utensils and tools, etc)?? Who would think the plates and silverware packages would be on the aisle with the Pringles and firewood (yes, you read that correctly) rather than on the aisle with, say, paper goods? Not us, apparently, as we finally had to ask for help.
I needed a good laugh after a hard day and got it as I listened to J’s ramblings amp up and get more nonsensical as we traversed the store in mounting frustration looking for Diet Coke, Epsom salt, and dog food (I swear I almost picked out cat food as the pet aisle was so confusing and I was that tired). If I could have recorded the whole thing, it would be priceless.
Needless to say, this is not the best Kroger (of which there really aren’t any stellar ones) but it was the closest to us and it got the job done. But I will never forget the look of relief on J’s face when I said «let’s just go– if I forgot something I need, I can go to a Publix tomorrow!» Ha.
Oh, and the $ 3 can opener we bought (I mean, I have one at home and I’m only staying in a hotel temporarily) broke immediately when I tried to open Luke’s dog food. Should’ve bought the $ 10 one, I guess. ..

Full size grocery store and supermarket with a large produce area, frozen, and meat counters. I’m not a regular Kroger customer (we don’t have this chain in Charlotte) so I don’t have their store card. The checkout girl was able to use a «house» account and that saved me a good amount of money. If you live here, you will want to get a card and save a bunch.
Parking lot is large, but the spaces looked pretty small to me.
There is a Redbox outside.

Customer service is definitely not their first priority. The store itself is nice, but nothing special.
My last experience with the deli worker was quite repulsive. She was texting with her nasty meat gloves on her nasty oily-​face phone while getting my deli meat. AND she was completely rude. Do your job and be sanitary!

This Kroger is a very convenient location for me. Although it is not my grocery store of choice, I stop in pretty frequently. Within the last couple of years, they renovated this store, which improved the shopping experience quite a bit. It used to be old and delapidated, so that has definitely improved. My husband and I eat a lot of fresh produce, and there produce section is not stellar. There is a decent variety, but it is not always the freshest. I like that they have several self check-​out registers. It makes for a quick trip qwhen you are only grabbing a few items.

Ok, I have figured out a way to shop at this Kroger without wanting to jump off a building after looking at my receipt. As long as you stick to the 10 for 10 deals, and the mega sale deals (buy 10 of any participating items get $ 5 off) –which I also combine with coupons, its really not that bad of a place. I still dont mess with the deli though. I am still pissed off about that.
I never encounter unfriendly staff here, so that makes it a little better.

Really the only reasons I come here are the relative convenience to where I live and the chance to save a few bucks (relative to the Vinings «Pick-​up Publix» and using their Plus Card). Other than that, they generally have the most poor quality produce of any grocery store I have been to (even compared to other Kroger stores which generally seem poor), they are often out of my staple items (cholula, Perdue grilled chicken strips), and the lunch meat counter is the slowest I have ever encountered.
However, I have had some interesting experiences here. My very first time here I was chatted up in the checkout line. The girl behind me in line commented on my height and seemed to be leading up to something. However, I was too embarrassed with the audience of other people in line and the checkout person to take advantage of the situation. Another time, I encountered what appeared to be a stripper (big blonde hair, revealing dress, long manicured nails) browsing the ice cream freezer. All I could think of was some corny line like «Hey baby, tough day at work? Maybe I can help you out.» But anyone who knows me knows I didn’t follow through on that!
