This was my first time at this location, second time overall at a Mariano's and I love it.the alcohol section is excellent and I love the build your own six pack.the big bag of popcorn is always on point.i checked out the wine bar and had me a goose island beer on draft and props to the bartender chrissy.she was cute and very nice.i will go there for happy hour.
Great place. They have a fantastic variety of groceries, produce, alcohol, and prepared foods. The wine bar is also a great touch. Definitely the best of your grocery store choices in Chicago.
The only cons are that it is very expensive and often very crowded. You'll likely pay about 25% more here than many other stores.
First time there tonight and I didn't experience any of the negative comments below. Produce was fantastic, store was clean, customer service was amazing, and the food was delicious. Any place I can get a glass of wine and some oysters while I shop is great in my book. Love the concept. Will definitely keep visiting this store.
The wine bar & bartenders were the highlight of my Chicago visit!
Not in my usual route, but needed to restock some necessities and this location was nearby.
The staff (and fellow customers) were super helpful in assisting me with locating all the items on my somewhat random shopping list - even going as far as stepping out from behind the fresh-fish counter to lead me to where the cottage-cheese was stashed away.
The customer service Manager was also really pleasant about my request for exchanging cash for a roll of quarters and the book of stamps I needed.
Overall a really pleasant experience.
The best Mariano's I have ever been too. I will definitely be going back.
The organization of the items within each aisle is profound. Now that I met the 50 character limit, Jay is a good guy.
Grocery shopping is much more enjoyable with a draft beer and the sweet sounds of Mr Freddy Allen.

To survive in alien landscapes, animals develop bizarre defense mechanisms, often at a certain cost. Ostriches can run fast, but they are unable to fly. Sharks have teeth like the slicing blade in a Cuisinart, yet if they take a stationary snooze, their lungs fill with water and they drown. They must always keep moving.
This is pretty much the fate of a number of people who move through and around the Manhattan of Isaac Davis (Mr. Allen), a successful comedy writer who quits his television job to write a novel. As Isaac Davis is Mr. Allen's most fully realized, most achingly besieged male character, so is Manhattan his most moving and expansive work to date. It's as serious as Interiors—if one must use that often foolish word—but far less constricted and self-conscious. In Manhattan, Mr. Allen is working in a milieu he knows well and with characters he understands and appreciates, especially when they are drowning.
In addition to being the director and coauthor—with Marshall Brickman—of the film, Mr. Allen is its most important presence. He gives Manhattan a point of reference just as he did ten years ago when the character he played was named Virgil Starkwell in Take the Money and Run. How Virgil and Woody have grown!
Manhattan moves on from both Interiors and Annie Hall, being more effectively critical and more compassionate than the first and more witty and clear-eyed than the second. There is a sense of applied romance here, especially in the soundtrack use of some of the lushest melodies ever written by George Gershwin, as well as in Mr. Allen's decision to have Gordon Willis photograph Manhattan in the kind of velvety black-and-white I associate with old M-G-M films like East Side, West Side and The Bad and the Beautiful. The movie looks so good that it looks unreal, which, in this day and age of film and fashion, is to go so far out that you're back in.
This place has everything you want and need. It is better than you would expect. The dine-in seating is fun because you are elevated above the floor and allows you to look around. The hot bar is 🔥. Food and drinks are inexpensive.

I have been to most every Mariano's in the city. I really love this one. I love it because you can pull in and park up on the deck. And although you can park on the deck at the Ashland location, they're just not as friendly in the Ashland location.
I have driven as far as the Elston location which is nice if you want to go for a ride, it's out there off of the beat and path.
My neighborhood Mariano's witches near Lane technical High School and is off of Western Avenue, is truly the worst. The store is just too small. The staff is ill-trained. And typically they have a surly attitude on many days. I will say that the one male manager at that store is exceptional, and their and deli staff is superior as well it's just that service desk isn't so nice.
The one downtown is okay but if you don't find parking on the first level it's really a beast to make it up that very steep ramp. The store is not so great either it's bigger yes but it offers complications. Anyway being downtown it has a different crowd. Enough said I love the one on Lawrence it is truly the best.
Sylvester is the best employee at this location! Always so kind & accomidating :) Mariano's is lucky to have him as an employee
