Ultra Foods

This place is what they call «ghetto.» The workers are rude and the customers are nasty scumbags! Go ahead work your butt off all week and then go stand behind Mr. & Mrs. LINK card who have 2 carts full of food and then they argue with the cashier that $ 1.98 they owe from their own pockets is not right and then proceed to go through each item they didn’t actually use their money to purchase and waste my time! These people look like they crawled out from under rocks. The baggers are useless. One of them bagged 1 item, literally, and then he just walked away. I asked the cashier where did he go and she said he had something better to do. I will happily spend a little more money and work more hours so I do not have to shop at this halfway house of a grocery store.

I found them to be a bit pricey. But a nice clean store. Friendly cashiers!

The produce is good!!! The best thing about this store is the prices. You can’t beat it I will always shop here. WAlmart opened up down the street their groceries are terrible and high priced I would never buy food from Walmart its horrible!!! Ultra food gets my business every week!! I recommend it to everyone

Last Straw
So I walk into this pigeon hole of a store. First of all, they are out of shredded lettuce. Who is out of shredded lettuce? So I’m forced to get a head of lettuce. Take it home and cut it open and the entire middle part of the lettuce is freaking (paraphrasing) brown. Are you kidding me? This store is an absolute joke and I really hope their corporate heads are looking at this. They DO NOT throw out any of their expired products and leave them on the shelves for as long as they can hoping their customers don’t notice. That’s why they are lower than their competitors. So they spend thousands of dollars updating the look of their stores, but don’t take the time to throw out expired food? Absolutely absurd. Done with this place.

Overall it’s a clean store and never had a problem with staff. But I had a problem with some expired food. It was a slab of ribs expired by 2 – 3 week. It wasn’t just the ones I got but all we’re expired. I didn’t look and it was my fault but they gladly refunded me. Otherwise the prices are good and it’s farely close.

Today I visited this store to buy a birthday cake. I was there at 7pm. No one helped to write a name on this cake. After come home we cut the cake and the cake is not good. Outside it looks very good but inside cake is dried out and taste so nasty.

Lots of good healthy alternative options. Surprised for a grocery store that’s in a not so well kept area on 75^th. They have fresh frozen fruit wholesale size which is great if you love some smoothie action. Overall good store good deals and great selection.

They have had a makeover since I last came in. :-D I am happy with the great prices but I am happiest about the sushi. For grocery store sushi… this place is the best. Better than Whole Foods, better than Jewel. Obviously not better than most restaurant sushi… but when the need arises to get sushi from a grocery store this is theb place to go.

Although this store was cheap, I was a bit hesitant it was a discounted grocery store? I do not like having to pack up my own groceries and if it was busy I’d be in severe trouble! Thank God the 2 people after me had a couple things and could go around me! They seemed to have constant good help and they’re prices were fantastic! I got a whole complete cart of groceries for $ 75! This store has kind if the same set up as the old Cub Foods that was in this location before. I was having extreme flashbacks and nostalgia shopping here!

This was my neighborhood grocery store, and I became sick of the crappy service I received here. The old crotchety lady in the deli and the short bald assistant manager there both were rude and ignorant. Now that Walmart has a grocery store down the street, I’m watching for liquidation sale signs. They won’t be open here much longer.
Update: now that Walmart Super Center is open and I’ve shopped there 4 weeks consecutive, I’m reconsidering. Wally World doesn’t have the lowest prices and service at the deli counter is brutal. It’s just a shame that Ultra waited for Wally World to open before they put an emphasis on improving service and buffing up the store.
Ultra you have my business again (for now).

The only good thing about this place is the clean bathrooms and sale prices. Other wise they are WAY over priced in comparison to their competitors in the area.

Its in my neighborhood and cheaper than Jewel/Dominick’s/Target. Its spacious, organized and easy to manuaver through. The customer service leaves much to be desired, it’s always crowded though — no one’s fault. Who doesn’t enjoy reasonable proces for food?
Their seafood counter rocks! They always have great deals on crab legs, lobster tails and I believe they have a lunch special there too but haven’t gotten around to sampling.

I cannot stand this food chain. They have little to no organic selection and the crowds and service is enough to drive you straight to the alcohol aisle. WINE PLEASE NOW.
BUT…
My fiancé swears by their crab legs. He claims they are the best he has ever had. So… I am forced to tackle the store on occasion.

I’ve driven by Ultra Foods dozens of times and never stopped in. We were on a hunt for some very specific sausages (Gilbert’s Craft Sausages) and their store locator said Ultra Foods stocked them. This seemed weird since as far as I understood it, Ultra Foods is a budget grocery store and «craft sausages» from Wisconsin seemed like the last thing you’d find there, but, whatever.
Eventually talked to the dude who managed the meat department who explained they no longer stocked them as «No one bought them because they were too expensive.» Makes sense, I guess, but this left us standing around in Ultra Foods with our main dinner plans out the window. Good thing we’re at a grocery store, right?
Well, plans for a snooty «craft» sausage fest turned into a fairly pedestrian sausage fest as our premium-​quality preservative-​free hopes and dreams were dashed for weird Johnsonville equivalents. But, it’s hard not to have a good time at any sausage fest. And, needless to say, a good time was had.
As far as a grocery store is concerned, Ultra Foods is one of those hella cheap places that manages to feel intangibly dingy. I’m not sure if it’s the crazy parking lot, the poor lighting, signs up everywhere telling you how much you’re saving, or what. It’s not dirty, but it just feels off. It seems exceedingly snobby and incredibly douchey to describe a grocery store in this way, but Ultra Foods has that certain je né sais quoi of feeling dirty even though it actually seems quite clean.
What I’m trying to say is I’m a horrible person who grew up in Naperville and you should probably just shop at Ultra Foods and save some money regardless of how worn the parking lot line paint is.
