Dominick’s

Store Update
Dominicks is closing on Dec 28^th. Everything (excluding fresh seafood/​meats) is 50% off already and most of it is gone already if you have not been here. Alcohol is on sale and additional 30% off so get it while it is still available. Soon to be gone!

Great selection of convenience foods (hot and cold deli, frozen entrees, bakery, etc.), as well as beer, wine and liquor. Close to lots of hotels and urban residences.

The décor reminds me of my local Safeway out here in the Bay Area. In fact, it is a Safeway affiliate. I used my home phone and it worked; discounts! The pricing was the same as any other grocery/​supermarket. Nothing too exciting except for revolving doors.

This particular Dominick’s is MUCH cheaper than any other Dominick’s I’ve been to (or any other Jewel for that matter)! With very quick turnover of items due to everyone from the area shopping here, items are normally pretty fresh.
Fruits and veggies: these are probably the only expensive things in the entire store… Guess the healthier it is, the pricier it is. If you buy the berries, especially if they are on sale, eat them right away or else they start getting bad the next day.
Meats/​seafood: meats are super cheap — cheapest I’ve seen in the area (even the organic stuff). If you get fresh seafood, make sure you pick and choose. The fishes and shrimp are normally pretty fresh because of the fast turnover. There are $ 5 lobster tails, but they are small and extremely unimpressive — not something you’d buy to show off cooking skills to a date.
Ice cream: there is always going to a brand of ice cream on sale. Also, Ben and Jerry’s or Haagen Dazs is consistently on sale :)
Some items you should definitely get:
— the salsa made by the company.
— pizza — really yummy and super cheap
— fried chicken — don’t bother getting it anywhere else
Oh, and don’t forget five dollar Fridays!!!

Hey simce I live amd work downtown I come here at least 2 times a week.
They have a salad bar that looks pretty fresh.
Before I went on a health kick I used to consume the bbq chicken wings which are now 99 cents per instead of 79 cents per wing or drammette.
The avocsdos, tomatos and limes are usually pretty fresh. You can always find fresh cut pieces of watermelon and cantalope.
Next comes the best part of the store. My personal rule rhat i have adopted for the last 15 yrs or so is I prefer to be able to watch my sushi being made or at least east it within 4 hours of it being made.
The sushi comes out just after 12 pm. And they have like six different kinds.
My favorite are the crunchy california roll and then the phlly roll which has 8 tob10 pieces for like $ 6.79 roughly. A hidden gem if you ask me.

What a great find for hungry (and thirsty) travelers! We stopped for a few paninis, some beverages, and snacks…$ 35 later, four of us had one great meal… and two evenings of late night snacks!

I go out of my way to grocery shop here, it is my favorite!
Great helpful and friendly service
Fresh foods all around, nice feel from isle to isle. Liquor is always priced right with a deal. I like using the app to plan ahead before I begin shopping. Safeway brand items are far better than other grocery name brand items elsewhere.

This Dominick’s is dark and gloomy.
It’s a small store with small, cramped aisles and
not a big selection of certain products.
They have a decent liquor selection and I saw my favorite
Veuve Clicquot for like $ 52.00 per bottle.
And. they have a nice bakery section.
However. I went to the prepared foods section to get 1 piece of pizza
for myself and this crabby person slapped that sucker into the box
and did’nt take the time to close it properly so I went to put it
in my cart and it fell out.
So not cool.:(
And I also went to get some fish for dinner and another crabby lady
kindda flung that at me too.:(
So. I will most likely not be returning to this Dominick’s.
There are nicer ones in the city.
Cause this one kindda sucks!!!

This place was very convenient when I stayed downtown… and much cheaper than eating breakfast at the hotel.
Great bakery!

I’m a Trader Joe’s guy, but I begrudgingly come here for stuff I can’t get there… which is mainly alcohol at reasonable prices. Also, the meats here are definitely cheaper than TJ’s: I’ve never found steak at a good price at TJ’s, where as I can pick up a small Filet Mignon at Dominick’s for 6 – 7 bucks sometimes. And the included Starbucks is helpful too.
I’d say avoid most of the produce, it always seems to go bad so quickly!

One of the few regular grocery stores in that part of Chicago– prices are reasonable by big city standards and the selection is large…

A nice location that is walking distance from my hotel in the business district. Provided a great selection of wine and grocery items.
The over-​the-​counter selection at the pharmacy was also great. I found replacements for a few items that I had forgotten to pack without many navigation issues.

I prefer to shop at Dominck’s however, this store needs help.
Positive — convenient to work so I pick up quick lunch.
Con — employees do not know what customer service is.

Overall, I will continue to shop at the Dominick’s in Edgewater since that store is cleaner and the employees know what customer service is.

I do my grocery shopping from a couple of different stores and Dominick’s is one of them. Yes it is huge and much bigger than the jewel on grand. I specially come here for bakery goods and meat produce.
The meat section carries a fresh produce everyday. I normally end up buying tilapia fillets and shrimps from the meat section. They do have a huge collection of wines, they also have a starbucks inside.

On multiple occasions now, I’ve been behind some of the dumbest fucking people in line. Not sure what it is about this store, but I’ve never seen anything like it. This place is Moron Central. Some of the employees are fucking weird too, namely the cashiers. And the place just feels dirty when you walk in.
I wish there was another local option for basic groceries, but there’s really not.
There are much better Dominick’s locations out there.

Dominick’s is a life saver for anyone staying at the nearby hotels around River North. Am I going to pay $ 3.50 for bottled water from the mini bar? Hell no! I’m going to pay $ 2 for 6 of them.
The salad bar is okay and there’s also a Starbucks inside.
The one guy who worked there made my trip in February of last year all the more memorable. When he tried to strike up a conversation, I gave him a shifty, horrified look and clutched my purse close to me. «You’re not from around here, are you?» he asked.
Or it could have been the way I said «coffee.» I don’t know.

I’d been suspicious. CVS is always convenient, clean and when there’s not a line that recalls the fall of Saigon I can get in and out happily. But a recent discovery of $ 7 for a hair thickening spray lead me to believe I was being hoodwinked.
We popped into this Dominick’s in search of a few items when I crossed through the hair care aisle and let out an indignant, «HEY!» when I noticed the very same product for a mere $ 4. Between the inexpensive bacon, the plentiful everything they have there (except dates, no dates) and good looking produce, it made me wish this Dominick’s was closer to anything I ever do or attend.
Oh, and free WiFi thanks to their upstairs café!

Perfect distance to our hotel, w/​all the last min items needed:
–Smart Water for $ 1 a liter.
–Odwalla drinks w/​$ 1 off coupons
–Band-​Aid blister advanced healing strips
–Neutrogena 100SPF Sport spray
–Travel sized baby wipes
Service: Pretty sour service, but I guess I would be pissed too if I was working during the only months it’s pretty in the city.
Cash Back: MAX, $ 60.
Just like Safeway, in fact, some of the water bottles were SW brand!

If I lived in Chicago, I would do all my food shopping at Dominick’s. Extra points for having a Starbucks inside.
The place has a very non-​traditional grocery store feel, kind of like you get out in California or at a smaller grocery store. Yet it’s BIG!
My sister came back with colossal strawberries from here. I was so happy. Woot.

Since coming downtown I’ve stopped by this place a few times. I do notice that the prices have come down this year, which is great as this particular Dominick’s tended to be more expensive than others (makes sense given the location it serves).
Overall the selection is good, but nothing extraordinary. A solid place to go to to get your cooking essentials (except spices, which should come from The Spice House).
And the employees are consistently helpful.
