Kroger

The best thing about this location is the giant produce section and the huge selection of organic produce within it. It’s rare that I don’t find something I need there. I also really love the expanded «natural foods» section. Kroger is really stepping up their game in this department. Stuff that I used to have to make a special trip to Whole Foods for is here now and even on sale sometimes! Score. Parking is usually horrendous if you go during peak hours, of course, but at least they have a two-​level parking garage. That elevator leading up to the top of the garage is a life-​saver when I just want to avoid the parking lot all together and go straight up there.

I want to live inside of this Kroger. I moved here from Ohio last year and I’ve really missed the nice big Kroger I used to shop at. I hadn’t found one quite like it since moving here. Kroger is an Ohio based chain, so I assume we got the best stuff first.
Well, this Kroger stood up to my expectations of the Kroger I missed and loved so much back home. It’s almost the same layout and has almost all of the same departments. This one lacks only the home goods section the one I used to frequent had.
We walked in and I got a Starbucks drink. We went to the cheese bar and I found all of my favorites and some new cool things. I loved that there were multiple «under $ 5» bins at the cheese bar. I love trying new cheeses. They have a hot bar with a sit down bistro. We got deli meat from the Boar’s Head Deli. There’s a sea food counter, where the employees were very friendly. The meat counter people were nice as well. They offer the Laura’s Lean Beef steaks which I love so much and hadn’t seen since I moved here. I could have jumped for joy. I got to shop there multiple Heath food/​organic aisles and get my favorite granola and the Kroger organic whole milk plus omega 3, which is the most delicious milk ever.
There were many center aisles, which I don’t browse, but I’m sure had a good selection. The processed cheese section was well stocked and I finally got my Kroger quesadilla cheese which I’ve also been craving since moving here.
The cashiers were friendly. I love that paper bags are an option displayed prominently, even at the self check out.
There seems to be ample parking and I saw there is a Kroger gas station as well.
Basically, this place was like my American embassy haha. It felt like home to me and I really enjoy shopping there.

This Krogers gas prices are higher than the closest Shell station where I can also use my Kroger card. I generally think of Kroger as having the lowest gas prices when it comes to using my Kroger card although with shell now in partnership with them, she’ll often has the lower price with the Kroger discount card.

I was running late one night for dinner and didn’t feel like going out to eat at a restaurant. I stopped by the deli and picked up some sushi. I wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. The selection was good. I picked up the brown rice California Roll. I understand it was refrigerated sushi but it was made properly and supplied with soy, ginger and wasabi. If you expecting perfect 5 star sushi then you will be disappointed, if you want a quick option that is very good, then this is s good choice.

Worst service I’ve ever received in this chain. Always long lines and customer service not helpful. Wish there was another grocery store in the area.

This Kroger is by my favorite Kroger and the fact that it’s only about a mile away from me is a huge plus. They have a large deli, bakery and cheese section.
I had to wander around quite a bit last visit just to find some feta cheese. You would think that with there being tha big of a cheese section that they would have had plenty of different fetas to choose from. That was not the case. I ended up finding it with the cheddar and mozzarella over by the regular cheese section and then it was only one brand. Not that big of a deal but the cheese section is a bit deceiving.
Anyway, this is a good sized Kroger with everything I need. I went through the self check out so I can’t say that the employees were friendly or not. I will say that despite other grocery stores I have been to no one asked me if I needed help with anything. Also, that isn’t a major deal breaker either. I prefer to shop in peace. If I need anything I will ask.
I hate grocery shopping but this Kroger makes it where I enjoy it a little more.

They have a Starbucks, Bistro, Deli, Fresh Seafood Area, and meat section. I especially like their great selection of fresh fruit and gluten free section. This is the best grocery store chain in my option. Since they bought Harris Teeter I hope those stores start to come along like Kroger’s has. I grew up on Kroger’s and I would say the only bad part about this location is the traffic on Hillsboro Pike and 21^st. But this is an easy access to travelers on the 440 stretch of highway. I will continue to shop here as long as I love near the West End area.

This Kroger boasts the largest organic section in the area. I’ve been warming up to it since I moved to Green Hills almost two years ago. It’s definitely better than the Belle Meade Kroger and Publix.
I usually shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joes, but I’m slowly starting to buy more and more here as they’ve upped their game tremendously. The produce is actually quite fabulous. You can find the exact same Peruvian asparagus and bagged brussel sprouts you find at Whole Foods for about $.50 cheaper. Often times you can find organic strawberries here when the competitors are out of it. The cheese shop (manned with an employee) was actually quite decent when I was looking for a nice wheel of brie. Now the deli people don’t seem to happy to be there…
However, the organic and natural foods section is great and Stonyfield Organic yogurt is always $.50-$.60 cheaper than Whole Foods. They are always running deals on Cascadian Farms cereals– score!
The Simple Truth organic line of meats are also very good and again, cheaper.
They have a nice home goods section that sells dishes, cookware and novelty items. Floral dept and balloons (sometimes it’s hard to track down someone, but they eventually come to the rescue) They even have a nice section of books, including kids books!
Starbucks inside, overall– friendly employees and clean.
24 hours– can’t beat that. Thanks Krogers for saving me some $ and for the $.10 fuel discount each time I fill up.
NOTE: don’t come here during the day on a Wednesday– it’s senior day!

The Green Hills Kroger has ingratiated itself to me ever since its significant redesign a while back. The organic and fresh food sections continue to grow, and they offer many of the items I’d end up paying a lot more for down the road at the Austin-​based chain.
WARNING: If it’s the first of the month or a Wednesday, then verily I say «Abandon all hope, you who enter here.» If the first of the month FALLS on a Wednesday, this place becomes more of a zoo than Grassmere. Do yourself a favor and get by on cereal or tree bark for a day and come back later in the week.

The pharmacy here is EXCELLENT!
My mum ran out of her medications and couldn’t make an appointment with her physician to get a prescription. We got a hold of the physician and asked him if he could fax the prescription to the pharmacy for one week of medication until we could get an appointment with him. He said Yes but never faxed anything to the pharmacy. We were so frustrated. The meds she’s taking are antihypertensive and hypoglycemic. Antihypertensive is one of those meds you can’t just stop taking abruptly. Most likely she would run into a hypertensive crisis and that’s a no-​no!
The pharmacist was very understanding and he «loaned» us some meds to cover for a week. They would just subtract what they loaned you from the prescription you bring in next time.
NOTE: Remember these meds aren’t considered substance abuse drugs (unless you want your blood pressure and blood glucose to drop and die heh…) so for those who take narcotics for chronic pain or whatever reason, I DOUBT they would loan you any. So yea, don’t even try.

The Kroger at Green Hills has had a recent makeover and is an incredibly large store with a vast array of specialty items especially in the «latin» section where I’m able to get my various seasonings and chiles (I make a lot of traditional Mexican dishes especially mole — no not burritos and tacos!)
The staff is friendly enough but can seem distant. I usually shop after 10:00 p.m. during the week, so it’s not uncommon to have pallets of food items blocking the way. I always use the self-​checkout.
The prices are reasonable and sometimes darn cheap especially if you have a Kroger card. Currently they are have a discount for gas purchases that has been an excellent assist to staying within our budget. We do most of our grocery shopping at this Kroger.

Damnit Green Hills Kroger. I really really want to like you. But the customer service at this location is just unreal. I came in on Sunday night and they had a couple employees with samples in the deli department. None of them were friendly but one girl looked so miserable I felt uncomfortable even approaching her. The Belle Meade Kroger at least has friendly people handing out samples and I won’t even try to compare the customer service you get at Whole Foods or Publix because they aren’t even in the same ballpark. However, other Kroger’s in the area are significantly better. This girl literally looked like she was being dished out a form of punishment.
Then I go to the Starbucks to grab a coffee because, how freaking cool is it to have a Starbucks in a grocery store? I go to the front and the guy working the counter says very defensively «we are short staffed and helping out other departments, so it’s going to be a while before you get your drink.» Not even apologetic! Ugh. Then my check out girl barely acknowledged me and my groceries were stuffed into my shopping bags without any care given.
There are a couple things I enjoy about this Kroger but I’m growing very weary of the lack of customer service and feeling like I’m in the way of their employees rather than an appreciated customer.

Kroger has created a beautiful store… but it’s too bad they kept the same employees. I agree with JB’s review. The man that works the self service checkout is very rude and arrogant. Once I had trouble ringing up an item, and he refused to help. He said he would «train» me so I would know how to do it in the future. Jerk. Now if I go I end up standing in line at the regular checkout, but I always have to wait until the cashiers are done with their personal conversations until they can check me out.
Krogers should require their managers to visit ANY Publix in the area, and see how customer service should be. I’ve been to several Publix, and every time I go I’m amazed at how friendly ALL their staff is. I wish there was a Publix in Green Hills.

Best Kroger in Nashville.

Kroger is no longer the best grocery store chain in town, however, this is their flagship store and by far the best Kroger in Nashville. Kroger has a few things in its favor: selection and price.
The selection at this Kroger is the best in town. They have just about everything that you might desire and usually several brands. The produce section is great with a nice variety of organics. The size of this store can be overwhelming, especially if you forget something on the other side. I think they may better serve their clients by having fewer quality choices on some items to slightly increase their variety.
Kroger has good prices on many items when compared to other stores in Nashville. I wish there brand name products were priced more aggressively and the Kroger brand products were of higher quality.
My issue with this Kroger store: #1-​No gas pumps. #2-​Many of the employees are not that friendly and some can be rude/​unhelpful. #3-​Parking at this store can be a nightmare if you go at peak shopping time.
I still shop at this store every week, but only for the items that I cannot get at Trader Joe’s.

This Kroger is drastically improved and easily the best in Nashville.
The produce selection (including organic) is fresh and extensive. They have a hot bar, large selection of cheese, and pretty good deli.
The natural/​organic foods section is now larger than any other Kroger I’ve been here.
Good specials often.

Because my bus would stop at Whole Foods before it hits Kroger, I always forgot this place existed. The other day I walked by Whole Foods and continued directly to Kroger, intending to take the bus from there, instead.
I like this place. Because it’s near my workplace and near a bus stop, it has become my go-​to grocery store after leaving the office.
On this particular day, I had just done my shopping at Whole Foods the day before. So, certain prices for some items were fresh in my mind. Needless to say, some of the exact same products at Kroger are cheaper. One particular item I bought on sale at Whole Foods was still cheaper at Kroger’s regular price.
The one thing I like about a grocery market this size is that it has its own aisle for kitchen cookware and small appliances. Granted, the cookware is not the expensive Anolon or Calphalon or All-​Clad. And I don’t know if there are ever any sales on individual pieces or just whole sets.
As much as I like Publix, this place is much more convenient.

I grew up going to Kroger.
I know every aisle by heart.
I adore the Kroger deli chicken salad.
I am very loyal to the Kroger chain.
That being said, I have to voice my disappointment in the Green Hills Kroger. Here are the reasons:
1. They have consistently not carried the gallon size of no fat organic milk. Petty? Maybe. But this one item is always the first on my list.
2. The quality of their beef is poor. The cuts are not trimmed nor chosen correctly.
3. I asked the butcher to butterfly a chicken breast. He didn’t know how.
I travel a longer distance to go to Belle Meade Kroger because it is more consistent and, to me, has a much better quality meat department. The Starbucks may not be in the store but at least I leave with a smile.

Kroger Green Hills (or K Roger as I like to call it) is my go to grocery. Mainly because it is the closest one to me and I am lazy. Also, I can walk there. So yeah. I’m there a lot.
This place is deceptively big once you get inside and they have everything I’m looking for usually. There are some brands they don’t carry that I like (haven’t found Wolfgang Puck soups there in a while) but they have other things that are mandatory. Like jalapeño cheddar cheetos. And Frontera salsas. Plus the people that work there are friendly for the most part. Some of the cash register people could try and be a little more speedy but overall I’ve always had a pleasant experience.
Do know that they are currently doing a little remodel so some of the things are all out of whack and it may be hard to find things. That’s why all the workers are really quick to ask if they can help you. Also, just DO NOT GO ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Trust me. If you CAN find a parking spot you are still going to have to deal with the throngs of people inside. If you live in the area and must go on Sunday, I suggest Belle Meade Kroger. Less packed and available parking. You are welcome.

This Kroger may be where the Beautiful People of Green Hills shop, but its certainly NOT where the friendly people of Green Hills work. The Gentleman at the Register could not be bothered to smile or even say a friendly word while I was paying.
The selection at this Kroger is superior to any of the other ones I shop at. If you are looking for pure selection, this is the place to go. Just don’t expect the staff to care.
