“Great selection of fresh produce and meats. They have had the opportunity for years to hire a front of house manager and it continues to be an opportunity for improvement in 2026.”
“Excellent variety of healthful foods, snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplements. Friendly staff, clean store, plentiful parking. Prices are moderate to high, not unusual for a specialty store such as this.”
“Shout out to Myra the manager at this location for her promptness and customer service.
There were other managers walking around the store that literally made eye contact with me but would not even come up to me and inquire about why I was standing there.
Store location needs to recognize her attributes and skills when it comes to people.
Thank you, Myra for being the only one to come up and help me!”
“So here is the deal. I am half afraid to share this because this place is a gem ?! I can buy wonder marinated meats.. ceviche.. dairy.. chicharron.. and a bunch of produce and hit only $80. Sometimes $70 and sometimes $50. They have a smoothie bar that’s probably the best one around…. As the produce is right there, The fresh produce looks better and is ripe and great looking and better than Bristol farms or whole paycheck. It’s a fast shopping store with a fresh hot food to go as well - and it’s aaaahmazing!! do not expect big grocery carts here. It’s fresh ripe food that you eat this week or in the next few days. I truly love this shop as it’s perfect for me by myself and even better when there were more of us. Just for reference they had beautifully RIPE RED SWEET SMELLING strawberries for under $3 a pack, like RIPE RED strawberries- not those white topped unripe hard bland berries like at a regular store. Really. Even the butcher shop is really really awesome. It is not the same as a big grocery store chain but everything has been fantastic. I don’t speak Spanish but every single person there has been great and it’s nice to shop in a place without having to listen to the obnoxious thinly veiled racism from other customers directed at others. Bravo to this store. You could in fact get all your weekly groceries here just fine. I mostly do - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Looked all over the city for pork shoulder to roast. No where only cut up boneless loin chops. Smart n Final you had a perfect whole pork shoulder roast. Octoberfest in full swing! Will check back for a whole turkey on sale in November.”
“It's been my favorite store since I discovered it. Here you can find some European products that cannot be found in another store or for the price much more expensive. I love this store especially because of the various sorts of cheese and vine, and because whenever I visit it it has a different assortment of products and I never know what I will buy this time for really cheap price.”
“I love this spot for Mexican sweet bread because of the price. Their bread is a hit or miss though because some can be stale but they are full of flavor and definitely worth it for the price (about $1 each) They have a variety of products from Mexico. Everyone who works here is also so kind! Will definitely be coming back. Bread: 8/10 Service: 10/10”
“Stopped by here for a tray of their delicious tortilla chips and took one look at their Chile rellenos and had to try one. So glad I did. They're huge and sooooo delicious. The service is always great, staff is always super friendly, place is always clean.”
“I have tried most of the products and well satisfied with the taste and the quality. Please ignore the negative comments about the products. I beieve they are biased and do not honestly serve the public.”
“The Grand West Coast extension of the Kroger empire, I found another broad selection of decently well organized famous and store brands with the usual assortment of unusual new stuff looking overpriced as always since 2020. The price gouging is wild beyond moral especially at Walmart and Target but at least Kroger and Aldi have some sense of decency and price out expiring items well.”
“One of the larger Ralph's locations with most of what you would expect from one of the major Kroger brands. On our several visits the store has been clean, well faced, with everything in order. If you need a comprehensive grocery stop, this is a good option. The only downside to many Ralph's locations is isles that are a bit narrower than most other major chains. If one has mobility issues, this could be a bit of a problem.”
“Spencer's Mart is truly a gem in Lake Forest! They consistently offer the freshest vegetables and go above and beyond to meet their customers' needs. When we mentioned that my son has a gluten allergy and asked if they could stock gluten-free rotis or other items, they not only listened but took the time to research and fulfill our request. This level of care and dedication is rare to find in other stores. Most places wouldn’t even consider trying, but Spencer's Mart made it happen. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is unmatched, and their exceptional service makes them stand out. Despite being a small store, they carry a wide variety of products. If you can’t find something, just ask, and they’ll make sure to get it for you. It’s this personal touch and reliability that make Spencer's Mart so special to us.”
