Brookhaven Marketplace in other cities:
For a small grocer, this location has quite a variety in their selections. Very good for European and other international foods. The store was clean. The selection of produce was above average for the area. The only catch is you pay a little bit more. It’s worth it! Enjoy!
The prices are ok, the tomatoes price is higher than the market. Also, I think the scale need to fix, because when I bought the vegetables and fruits, I weighted them in my house and, I found some different than the receipt. So just be careful when you shopping next time. (for shoppers)The meat, chickens fridges on the wall is not really organized and little smelly, please take care of that. The other sections are good . (For the owners)This first time shopping in this place, I will go back.
Love this store. Small but great meat department, nice seafood selection. Prices are a little high. Could use a written guide for liquor department. Liquor department has wide selection of eastern European brandy, but I lack the knowledge to shop it. Bakery items and dessert pastries are very good.
Neighborhood store with quite a few Eastern European items. Limited organics, but they have occasional great sales on them. If youre into conventional produce, this place has a great selection at unbeatable prices. Its usually quite clean and has unadvertised manager specials all the time.
Pleased with the over all grocery items. Meat, deli, meat department butchers. Helped me when i asked for a smaller rib section and cut it in half for me. Liked the new meat counter and fish case. Only thing, i dont see sanitized carts or sanitized wipes when i walk in.
Brookhaven is very good store with a lot of Serbian and Balkan products. If you miss something from Balkan you can find in this store. When you come in this store you are think maybe I am in Balkan not in Chicago :) If you need local wine (for example Kovacevic or Radovanovic), Serbian brandy , chese, burek with meat you can find in this store. Also, you have a some guys who speak Serbian language.
This location has a great selection of product but a poor selection of people dealing with customer service. Even at this moment, they are refusing to answer their phone after hanging up on me instead of letting me speak to a manager about purchasing a product. Such a shame
I bought 25 days expired mascarpone cheese. Tried to exchange to good one but manager said that i don’t have receipt and i didn’t buy it at this store. That’s not true. I go to this store almost every day because it is close to my work. Always keep your receipts and look best before dates on products at this store!!
When I lived in Darien, this was our favorite place to shop for specialty needs. Today was our first day back in quite some time and its changed a bunch. They have added a couple of pretty rude deli workers and their cheese 🧀 selection isnt as varied as it used to be. Its one of the only places to get fresh pizza dough (which sadly they were also out of). Well try again, but today was very disappointing.
Ordered on line for curb pick upthey did not pick up the phone had to go in to ask for my itemsthe items I ordered were not correctthey claimed that the right ups numbers were scanned, but the items did not match description on the website. refused to replace the items. the manager was very rude.wasted time and money
It may be smaller than the nearby Jewel, but the selection and quality here is much better. The produce is fresher with a wider variety. The shelves have always been stocked whenever I have visited. Cant say the same for that other place where things often seem pretty picked over.
I have shopped at Brookhaven for the last 8 years. Its great for ethnic food and fresh produce at very competitive prices. I have a friend who works at the produce market downtown and he told me this was the place to go. I have never been disappointed. I have never seen anything the negative reviews talk about. The only thing I will say is that their deli line gets very long during peak hours, but only because their prices are so much better than other places that are around.
Very great store to find hard to find European foods, sale prices are excellent and if anything is wrong, the management is quick to make it right. Some of the imported goods are expensive, but thats to be expected. All in all love this store, great produce, deli and meats at an unbeatable price
Hello, be careful when you buy products, they always lie with the prices, some are on the shelf, others are lame at the cash register, pay attention to the expiration date, they sell expired products, the prices are in the ceiling, my experience, avoid this market, it is not for buying, for Balkan products there is Tonis has Pitz and they are far cheaper, thanks for the understanding
At the first sight the store seems wonderful. It’s bright and clean and well organized. Variety of world food to choose. Unfortunately my experience was not so much bright... I bought a fish last Saturday, a lake trout, that turned out to be completely rotten. It smelled absolutely awful when I opened it at home and I had to throw it out immediately. I don’t live close by so I couldn’t return it. I can’t imagine that a person who sold it to me didn’t know that it was not fresh. I thought it would be my future neighborhood store as I plan to move to this area but now I have to revisit my plans.
I loved shopping in this place I preferred it before any other food store, until I had to return a product and unfortunately I got three people groceries; I never imagined this embarrassing episode. Three people in charge of being kind to the client, behaved horrible. I will never return to this place.
Fat is favorite ingredient in sausages, ćevapi, and other products. Store is not cheap, it is good for deli and bakery products but beware of the meat department. And if you try to complain, good luck, you better not call.Update, 8/16/18: the whole package of bbq sausages went to garbage. Fat, cartilage and who knows what was 70% of the sausages. Im done with this store.
I went shopping here today and spent about $140. As I was walking out, one of the staff chased after me and told me that I didnt pay for one of the items. He walked me back to the cash register only to find out that I had indeed paid for every single one of my items. And instead of apologizing for making a mistake and embarrassing me for no reason, they just sent me on my way as if nothing happened.
Better check expiration dates... The grated cheese on the shelf was visibly moldy. My russet patatoes were rotton inside , almost the whole 8lb bag.I picked up mayo that was expired. Some produce looks ok but most of the greens are old and you can see how they cut off the brown stuff. Would not even think about buying meat here. The resaon I go here is the bread they make in the bakery.
Staying in town and wanted to find a quality local store to get fresh food for our stay. Initially was pretty impressed with what LOOKED like fresh food....IT WASNT! We bought a number of desserts from the pastry case. It looked like it was going to be awesome. Got back to our hotel and found the cream puffs COMPLETELY stale. You could barely even push your finger thru the cream. I broke it in half to find the center literally decomposing. They were rotten inside and hard on the outside. Also got cannolis which were softer but still tasted spoiled. We also got chicken salad that was watery and separating once we opened the container. Other crappy food too. Spent $98 for literally what was supposed to be a snack and EVERY product was nasty. We do not recommend at all! Very pricey and way below standard. Threw it all away...along with my $98!
Was asked very rudely to leave the store after doing nothing but picking up groceries. I was first asked why I didnt have a shopping cart with me (I only needed 2 items which I couldve easily carried to the front with my bare hands), then to leave the store. Im guessing I wasnt White enough for the people working here.Either way this is a vile establishment with prejudiced employees.
Has a large verity of stores in this shopping center. If you are looking for cosmetic items then i recommend coming here, there are also a couple clothing stores. The prices of the stores however i am unclear but from my personal experience o can say that Ive never not had enough money to go into a store there.
Expired products they just put their own stickers so people can see that the date is validim shopping here for 9 years and prices went up a loti understand that they sell a lot of products from balcan macedonia serbia etc, but its still food not goldthis place within 2-3 years from now will be same as westbrook market-SHUTDOWN
AMAZING selection of Macedonian products here!!!They have Skopsko Beer from Skopje, Grozd Mastika alcohol from Strumica, 2 types of Tikves Rakija, Stobi Flips, Strumka Gazoza, Prilepska Gazoza, Stobi Flips, Viva Juice, and so many different types of Ajvar, Lutenica, Pindzur, its amazing! Its a balkan persons heaven!!Most amazing store! They have Skopsko beer!!!!!!
At times you can find what you need and at times you they dont carry what you need for recipes. Jewels across the street carries a little more in their red & green peppers. Service is great and environment just their inventory needs an improvement as well as their prices.
Brookhaven has the best variety and prices for produce and meat. They are also the best for lunch meat especially Boars Head. They are pricey for any every day groceries so I only go here for produce and lunch meat. Really good handmade desserts as well and cheese selection
Oh! The Store name is Shop and Save....so sorry....left name off review🎈🎈🎈I love the various breads, meats, and their organization of the store but it is a smaller store with great variety that needs more space to grow larger. If you dont mind the fun of playing bumper carts with others; its a great place to make a quick stop for something great and the meat counter provides an expedient cut of meat you might wait a moment or two for - they seem very courteous. I like that you can find fruits and vegetables of variables all year. I would call this market busy and popular; regular customers and those who love variety and flair. The Cashiers are very courteous and do it right with Customers and the Manager went out of his way for me to assist and that is why I would keep going back. I like to shop here for some items I dont find at a local grocery store.

2022-06-29Great prices and knock off brands taste just like real thing. I am able to buy extra food for the students at my school who often come without a lunch. Great fruit selection as well.

2022-04-10Giving this one a mixed review.I, too, have had a very bad time with their meat to the point where I’m curious if someone needs to come check them out for it. I bought a slab of ribs and opened it the same day and it smelled like it had been spoiled for weeks.Otherwise I appreciate the good selection of European groceries and Boar’s Head deli meat.

2022-05-21Its good store because they have a lot of different foods and products to choose from. But be careful because a lot of products have expired. The green small shopping baskets are always so dirty.

2021-12-31Good selection of ethnic foods. Avoid buying meat there. Several times meat was no good. Probably doing something funny with the dates.

2019-12-11I love this place. It has spices, candies, beers, wines,dairy products, cookies, meats and a lot of things from my country (ex Yugoslavia) and Eastern Europe , so every time we go to Chicago this is our place to visit. The prices are decent too.

2022-05-30Former employee. Management isnt good in the least and Im pretty sure the company over all is breaking a lot of labor laws under the guise of being foreign first. Do not work for this company, it isnt worth it

2022-04-04I usually shop at their store in Burr Ridge, so it took me a little longer finding everything on my shopping list. The staff are helpful and friendly.

2021-12-25I have bought 2 bags of five Roses flour recently and I have loads tiny bugs in my flour!! I am warning everyone that shops here (to) : Steer clear of their five Roses flour in case you get bugs in yours too!I cannot use either of my bags of flour to make bread and other baked goods for my family, since my flour is infested with loads of tiny bugs.I typically have a great time at this store and find many awesome things, but after this disrespect I got after going there for 10 years, Im not going to go there anymore. Not until this bug problem is solved by the owners of this business.
