Uptown Grocery
"I wanted to like this store, because I loved the Uptown in the village when I lived in OKC. But my first few visits here have been less than impressive. It looks good, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.At the OKC Uptown, you don't have to look too closely at the expiration dates; I never found anything there that was even close to spoiling. Maybe they just have a bigger clientele and turn things over more quickly? Maybe they do a better job in general of turning things over? This Edmond Uptown I learned pretty quickly to check each expiration date, or you'll be buying food that's within days of it's expiry date. And I feel like that's one thing. But what's worse is what went down at the meat counter on my first ever visit to this grocery store. I bought chicken on a Sunday, to cook on Monday. I ordered directly from the butcher, the nicest chicken they sold. I got it home and put it in the fridge. I did not make any stops or run any other errands before I got home and put my groceries up. The next day, my husband was starting to cook dinner when he came and asked me how old the chicken was. I said I got it yesterday, and he said, well, then they sold you chicken that was already spoiled, because this chicken looks and smells old AF. I went to take a look for myself and I was shocked. It was not just a little bit past its prime. It was completely rancid. It's hard to imagine they pulled that chicken and packaged it for me without realizing something wasn't right. I should have taken it back, but this Uptown is so far from where we live. I couldn't just pop back in the car and run it over there at dinner time, with two small kids at home, while also having to come up with something else to cook on the fly, since I had to throw the chicken out. I usually give managers the chance to make something right before writing a bad review, but in this case, they had the chance to check the chicken before they wrapped it up and handed it to me, and they didn't. I'm not saying I will never go back, but it's not my top choice and I won't go out of my way to shop here as I did at the OKC location."

"Thanks to Yelp friend Nancy R.'s review and photo, I just found a great new source for both toasted pumpkin seeds and toasted sesame seeds alike!"
