β5 stars to the associate, I believe her name is Eliseth, who was working the pickup/curbside orders today.
I got to the store within my pickup window and notified once I arrived. There was a woman also waiting when I got there, and she looked like sheβd been waiting for a while. Eventually, she went inside and got her own order and left.
While I was waiting, another car pulled in. I decided to go into the store to grab my bags as well since I had another pickup at another store I needed to get to. As I was walking in, the associate was walking out with the order of the person whoβd arrived to the store after me.
The associate let me know one of their phone systems was down and thatβs why there was a long wait. I went back to my car.
I then received a text message saying no one was available to bring my order outside to my car, so I needed to go inside of the store to pick up my order. I got back out of my car, went into to the store, and waited at the front until someone could assist me.
After a couple minutes, I saw the associate coming with bags in a cart. I looked at them and they had my name on them. I let her know I received a text message saying that no one was available to bring it out which is why I came in. She let me know that because one of the systems was down it, the notifications werenβt exactly correct, and that she could bring my bags out to the car with me.
By this time, I did indeed have an attitude. I wasnβt nasty in my verbal communication, but Iβm sure my face showed it. This associate stayed calm, she continued to speak kindly and softly, she was understanding, and she kept the situation under control.
Wanted to give her kudos! Iβm not sure how many pick up orders she had to experience this with, how many unhappy customers she mightβve encountered, or just how the quality of her Friday had been going as a whole.
Iβm very thankful for her! Continue to be a light to those around you!β
βNice little Polish store. I love their dumplings although I forgot to take a pic. I get them cold and then I put butter and breadcrumbs on it when I get home. Their potato pancakes are great too although very greasy. I thought the packzis were a bit dry but maybe it's because I was there on a Saturday night.β
βHas all the best ethnic(Middle eastern, Asian & South Asian) foods, products, and items. Also has the best quality zabiha halal meat selection in most of Chicago. Has anything you can need from snacks, foods, drinks, frozen goods, halal meat, soaps, cleaning products, etcβ¦..?β

βGreat ice cream parlor in a good location, close to many other places to eat. We had lunch across the street at Wooden Paddle then crossed the intersection and enjoyed real ice cream. They have plenty of flavors for all ages plus some for vegan/dairy free people. Love the atmosphere too!β
βHavenβt been to a Peteβs outside of the city before but Iβm glad I decided to stop by this one near Danada on my way home because it is a fantastic option for groceries and more. The produce section alone was worth it with stacks of fresh fruit and veggies everywhere and good competitive prices for everything and even samples available to try. Very helpful when it came to deciding whether the cantaloupe was worth it or not. I would even argue that the produce is better than at the Jewel AND Whole Foods down the road.
The store is well-kept and clean throughout. The bakery, meat and cheese departments and the hot food/salad bar area are great. They have several made-to-order options that looked good and worth trying. Some of the standouts were the broasted chicken, pizza and sushi. For such a fresh looking assortment of dishes to be available at 1pm was a big enticement to come back to grab something for lunch next time Iβm in the area.
As far as grocery options I would be surprised if you couldnβt find what you were looking for in such an expansive store. This is especially true when it comes to the huge variety of international cuisine options. All of the workers I had interactions with were friendly too.β
βThis place is amazing! It's mainly Mexican style food. They have a hot food bar. They put it out "Fresh Everyday". If they fill up the food bar at 10am- by 1:30pm. Its only scrapes left because the food on is OMG, good food, very fair portions, and the price is right! Looking forward to returning for a few items.β

Their private-label products rival premium brands, while sustainability and customer convenience remain clear priorities.

βAldi is my usual go to place for quality products, reasonable prices and very good organic veggies and fruits section. Love the seasoned Salmon and Avocado choices along with good choices for individual healthy snack pack trays. They usually have lovely flower choices in the spring and summer too. New quality discount Wine choices especially Pinot Noir are a plus for me on occasion as well.β

βI just bought some green grapes today from your store and I must say these are the best grapes I have ever had in the United States ever! The best I ever had was in South Korea and they actually tasted like grape candy. But these green grapes are huge, flavorful, crisp, sweets, and absolutely delicious! Don't ever break ties with your supplier!β
βI stopped by this Aldi and was really impressed. The famous βAisle of Shameβ was packed with great finds, at least until I started filling my cart. The store was clean, the employees were friendly, and checkout moved quickly.
I only wish I lived closer because Iβd be here all the time.β
βHonest and reliable and good quality meat! Great customer service. Only flaw is that they are so busy that sometimes they are out of stock on super popular items.β

βI have been grateful for Aldi. I have gotten excellent products at Aldi for a low cost. I love getting a good deal on good products. I had a great-tasting tofu here that I enjoyed. They had great variety and a selection wide enough for me at the time.
This Aldi has a great location, right on Cermak. I appreciated having self checkout kiosks. The store itself had a great ambiance. The lighting and character of the aesthetics of the store visuals were quite appealing. There was a large parking lot.β
βEvery week I go to the taqueria for the Menudo, it is exquisite, I buy a gallon, my husband loves the Menudo and I love the pork rind and tongue tacos, which are very good.β
βLove it here. Its clean and organized and very good customer service. The owner "Ade" was very welcoming and warm for my first time at the store. Ill definitely be back.β
βToday (August 26th) around 6:40 PM a blonde lady rang me up and even packed my items neatly into my boxes. Usually the cashiers throw things into the cart, so I was very appreciative of her. This also happened after I had problems with my EBT card at a previous register, so this just eased my frustrations. Great customer service on her part!β
βI like Aldi for my weekly grocery shopping. No wasting time or money on overpriced brands at supermarkets with too many choices for the same thing. In, get my list, and out on my way!β

βAldi is the best for low preservative foods! Everything tastes better from Aldi!! Even the Kraft products they sell are higher quality. Check your Walmart Kraft Miraclewhip ingredients against the Aldi Kraft Miracle ingredients and you will find better quality Kraft products at Aldi clearly labeled in the ingredients list.β

βHave been shopping for meat and groceries here for few years now and always a good experience. But today we catered from Baladi for family iftar dinner. Everything was excellent, the taste, the presentation, the complete items. And it was plenty for our party of 30+ family. All were satisfied. We got two mixed grill platters with hummus and baba ghanouj. Will order again at next occasion.β

βAldi is a amazing grocery store, well organized, super clean, and amazing pricing. This store is efficient and they share those savings with the customer. They have everything you need, no real name brands, but exceptional quality none the less. No frills here, just a nice, fast, and economical shopping experience. Even the carts and designed to save money, put a quarter in for the cart and get it back when YOU return it, how clever is that. Nice big parking lot in safe Hodgkin's. Definitely a great supermarket and great value!β

βIt's a cross between Trader Joe's & old school Dominick's. (For those who remember, this location used to be a Dominick's) The difference between Pete's and Trader Joe's is that Petes is affordable. It's a grocery store so you find all the common brands and general produce here. What I like is they sell a lot of products from around the globe. They have amazing quality meats & cheeses from the Mediterranean & middle eat. If you eat a lot of traditional foods from those regions you can find the ingredients here. They also have a good selection of Mexican food products. Comparing prices to jewel & marianos, I am shocked those 2 stores are still in business with their 20% higher than average prices.β
βHome made section is awesome β loved it!
Great Halal has really improved, and the homemade section is honestly next level. Fresh, flavorful, and you can tell they put real care into everything. I was very impressed. Highly recommend checking it out!β
