This place is the greatest grocery in America. The food is fresh and of great quality. Their prepared foods are delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly. They have amazing selection and there are some days I would go here and just take out food for dinner instead of going to a restaurant. Big money saver and the quality is wonderful. Sad they do not exist in New York, only get to frequent this place when I'm visiting Minnesota. But I come here every time.

I avoid this Kowalski's unless I have to stop in here. About the only times I do is when I am at my office and need to get something I know only their store carries.The parking lot is small and horrid to navigate. The entrance is near an exit so it's continually clogged up and the space is so densely full, its nearly impossible to navigate through the store. Because of its small footprint, they also have fewer items than other stores. I've also never encountered staff that seems happy to be working there. Everyone I go, I don't get a "hi" or anything when checking out, nor a "thanks for coming in" or the like when I leave.

Just ordered a Ruben. Dude barely heated it up. Brought it back to reheat so the cheese would melt and the bread would get crispy. All I got was a soggy nasty mess. Absolutely disgusting.

I stop here most mornings and well the outside of this speedway on days that there is no security is kinda ghetto. You will sometimes be approached for bus money but I doubt the cas is for a bus pass. Once you make it in you will find a great place ran by amazing staff. Becky is there almost every morning to greet me and brighten my day. The place is not as bad as it seems and the staff is fabulous. I stop in occasionally for the evening red bull to get me through my long evenings. I gave it five starts not for the ghettoness outside but for the amazing staff.

Absolute trash. The prices are asinine, the produce is sub-par, the parking lot is difficult to navigate, the list goes on and on. I recommended any one thinking of patronizing this establishment shop elsewhere; anywhere is better than here.

Taco night, stopped into my local Grand Ave Kowalski's for a few items. I literally shop here 4-5 times a week and spend $700 plus ea month.Kowalski's can be expensive but I pay for customer service and quality. lately the service has been lacking. I was looking for some guacamole and couldn't locate it anywhere, I approached the young lady in the deli, who was not waiting on anyone, and asked her if she knew where I might find it, she shrugged and said "I don't know", fair enough, a-lot of items in the store, impossible to know where everything is. She turned to a co-worker and asked him "do you know where the guacamole is? He looked at me and said, while waving his hand, "it's out in a case somewhere", the young lady looked at me and said "sorry" and they both walked away, I assume to help someone else. I thought they'd at least use those little walkie-talkie things to ask someone, Nope!Now normally I'd just let this go, I'm one of those customers that rarely raise a fuss, I turned and continued looking for the guacamole on my own. After a few more minutes of this, and after much frustration, I decided to put back the few items I did find and leave the store quietly. Half way out of the store I stopped and said to myself, "NOT TODAY!". Today I complain. I asked the door guy for the deli manager but he said she was out or something, he offered me the option of speaking to the big guy, the Store Manager. He made the call. While waiting I went over in my head what I was going to say, I'm nervous, excited, so many emotions. Finally the manager arrives, we shake hands and I proceed to tell him my story, when I finished all this guy had to say was "well in fairness to them we are about 25% down on employees in the deli". HUH!? WTF does that have to do with anything I just said? So I said "does that mean you're 25% down on customer service as well?" Crickets. He said sorry, he'd talk to them, and we went or separate ways. You know what really made me angry and forced me to write this review on Yelp, and every other platform I can find as well has badmouth them to anyone who will listen? The manager never offered to help me find the guacamole. Apparently Grand Ave Kowalski's is where the send the managers that lack customer service skills, or dates one of the Kowalski girls.Don't cry for me though, I found my guacamole. At my new $700-$800 per month digs.

Ordered a gift card from my brother's birthday and it was delivered right on time to his other delight. He can't wait for their pastrami -apparently their deli is world class!
