Jewel-Osco is a grocery store located at 1128 Chicago Ave in Evanston, IL. It offers grocery delivery and DriveUp & Go™ service. The store includes a pharmacy for immunizations and prescriptions, a bakery with custom cakes, a deli with party trays and an Order Ahead service, and a butcher block with meat, seafood, and sushi. The produce department is also available. Reviews note the staff is friendly and provides good, professional service, with specific praise for the helpful deli management. The store is considered convenient and open until midnight, carrying staple items and a liquor selection. However, there are consistent challenges. The store is often described as expensive, somewhat dark, and vaguely depressing. There is frequently a long line due to a reliance on self-checkout machines, which are often out of order or require assistance from the sole available employee. The selection is considered lacking due to the store's size, and some feel a sense of discomfort in the area. While acceptable in a pinch, for many it is a last resort compared to other local options.
John at the self checkout was amazing! Drive out of our way to come to this location

Drive and Go was amazing. Easy to find everything online. Pick up was efficient.

I’m guessing 5% to 10% of the shelf-stable food is expired. I’ve purchased a number of things that were expired not by a few days but by a few months. You have to check all the dates on everything.
