Not a fan of reviewing grocery stores but I would give this strack and van till for the area. It’s clean, employees are friendly, and the prices are decent. Deli/Seafood is nice they have a lot of selections in the deli department and the salads that they make are above average. Nice selection of lunch meat and cheese too. Seafood department is a little smaller but do have a nice selection. Bakery is small but they do have good cakes and doughnuts and there stuff is fresh. Big produce department normally priced higher. Good selection of frozen fruit though. Meat department is large a lot of good items and decent sales. But is still overpriced in some areas. Dairy and Frozen are above average. They have a lot of items I don’t find at other stores and prices are good. Beer and wine is really above average. It has the best selection out of any grocery store in the area and rivals some liquor stores that’s why it got a extra star from me. In general I shop here because it’s convenient and the prices are decent. They have a great selection of items that I can’t find at other stores in the area and the store is very clean. The only thing I wish this store had that some of the other stores in the a area had would be sushi other than that the store is great!

Stracks has a good bakery and decent chicken for catering if you’re having a party. The tuna steaks from the seafood dept. are good too. However if you’re needing to do your grocery shopping stick with Meijer in Portage or County Market in Gary(if you want to travel there). Stracks prices have really skyrocketed over the years. And I used to be a regular shopper there. Case and point; I recently had a craving for strawberry Newton cookies and since I was in the store anyway doing my banking, I decided to see if by chance they had them on sale. They were on sale alright, 2 for $ 7.00! Meijer frequently has the same cookies on sale 2 for $ 4.00. They must need to pay for all the remodeling they’ve been doing!

At 2pm the Deli(hot food side) was pretty disgusting. I stopped after work to pick up a quick dinner & it looked like it had been neglected the entire day. There wasn’t any thing behind that glass that looked fresh.

If your looking for some decent flowers at a decent price. I suggest this spot not many flower shops in the area have a selection as stracks does.

I do most of my grocery shopping here cuz the prices are good and they have a nice meat selection. They usually have a great deal of sales too. The bakery has definitely gotten a lot better as well as the deli selection. As long as they keep their prices lower than Wiseways I’ll be coming back.
