Strack & Van Til Inc

A year ago I would have given 5 stars. The only reason I’m giving 3 now is because they have great employee’s. In the last few months I have to go to another store every time I leave this store because they are always out of something I need and several times I have gotten home and had expired items. I’m about done.

BUYER BEWARE!!! if you shop here, you had better check the expiration dates on everything you want to buy. bought a bottle of hot sauce. got home and looked — expired in 2013. took it back to store to exchange for new bottle — found bottles even older on shelf and none in date. be especially aware of their sale items. years ago, items were put on sale because they were close to expiration. when they expired, they were pulled from the shelves. now, this store does not seem to pull expired items, instead, puts them on sale. ILLEGAL!!! they do not want to lose a dime on their expired goods. better off to stay away from any of the strack and van til owned stores

Lovely family owned store. The bakery donuts are soooooo good. Only down side is they are not open on Sunday, but have to respect that.

It’s a great market to shop and it’s close to are house we come here lots of times even when it was under construction. I’ve been coming here since I was a baby

Great place to shop for your groceries. I love the fried chicken with all the fixings at the deli department. I say the chicken is the best in NWI. I love the fact that you can also purchase the fresh battered fish and have them cook it while you shop.
Another good tip, the sushi at Strack’s is awesome. I prefer the brown rice veggie sushi.
They will make whatever you like. There’s not to many restaurants that offer brown rice. This place will make whatever you like.
It’s like a market within a grocery store.
The produce is always fresh. The worker are super friendly

This is one of the best grocery stores around! It is clean as can be and very well organized. Almost feels like a museum they have everything line up and faced on the shelves. Check out lines are always easy to get through. Only reason for not giving it that fifth star is that they can be pricey at times. Wish they would lower their prices just a bit. Overall though, great place to go grocery shopping.

I used to love Stracks and while I do love the addition and the bakery there is one HUGE problem I have with them… this is the fifth time I have gotten home, went to eat something I bought and realized it expired over a week ago… I have gotten crazy about checking their expiration dates! Then today I slid a Mac and Cheese out of the box to see if it was ok and I find a huge chunk of mold on it! I have a picture… this is unacceptable… they added so much food to the store that they are very bad on keeping up with the expired products… it’s convenient to shop there so that’s why I go but from now on I keep my receipts!

The store cheated me by charging regular price for a sale item. Not a big deal, if it was convenient for me to return… but I rarely come this way.
The customer service fail was not looking up my register receipt info and mailing me a gift card for the difference in price.
Instead management said I MUST drive back there so they can SEE my receipt. How does that make sense?
If they only had one staffer who knows how their register system works, and he died, all they had to do to not make this my problem was grab my item off the shelf and scan it for proof.
To make matters worse, attempting to use their «contact us» form on the website had me seeing a deeper shade of red because it’s functionally useless. Apparently if you can relate your concern in less than a dozen characters with none being a number and certainly no punctuation… they may receive your message. Otherwise you cannot submit the form.
Wise up Strack. If you make people like me return to your store to clean up your mess, it’s gonna cost you much more than the value of the gift card you could’ve mailed out in the first place.

Its been over 2 years since I’ve moved over to Indiana. One of the things besides the many reasons why I miss Chicago is the variety of grocery stores. It was very hard for me to find a grocery store to meet most of my needs.
I was on a mission and found my to go to store for almost everything. I guess the store has been renovated so it looks like a gem. They have a large selection of deli meats, bake goods and a section for organic foods. I’m sold!

What a great store. I have family that reside in Griffith, and typically I would purchase goodies in Chicago before heading over to their house. But most recently, we have discovered a remodeled and awesome grocery store, Strack and Van Til. We love how organized the merchandise is, the number of sales and wide selection of everything. I also like that they sell wine :) It kind of reminds me of the remodeled Dominick’s except friendlier…

my NEW local grocery store… much much bigger than the one i used to go to in Munster… but like all Stack’s…very clean and everyone super friendly… so basically take the Munster store and double it… and viola :-)
a big produce section… much much better quality than the Munster store…
smaller beer section, but lots of wines to choose from…
deli seems nice… everything all nice a fresh… hint: the 4 times i have been here so far, free wings to sample :-)
bakery: cookies or cake pieces out… help your self :-)
seafood dept: fish all looks nice and fresh… they will also fry your fish too… samples out 3 of 4 days… and shrimp was out one day… hey i like free food… shoot me :-)
all in all a nice place to shop… i Luv me some Stack an Van Tils…
