Giant Eagle

Compared to other grocery stores, the prices are pretty high. Also a cashier REFUSED to sell beer to my husband because I didn’t have my ID on me. I’m closer to 30 than 21 so it was extremely frustrating. She was rude about it and there was a line behind us and was honestly sort of embarrassing. I never touched the beer and I’m actually older than my husband. Management said they’d speak to the cashier about it, but I could tell by his tone he was annoyed to even be having the conversation with me and it wasn’t going to be forwarded to the clerk. Thanks to this BS I’m never visiting a Giant Eagle again.

I really wish this Giant Eagle would get it together. I solely go to Giant Eagle because of the Fuel Perks. I prefer Kroger’s quality, selection and prices but they can’t hold a flame to Giant Eagle’s fuel perks.
ANYWAY… I usually overlook the lack of cashiers whenever I come in, and I’ve come in at all times and days, its never any better. And it always seems they have the slower cashiers on weekends when they are busiest. Makes no sense to me. BUT I move on and continue to accept it. However, after my most recent experience with their pharmacy, I will be going to another location, even if it’s farther away.
My newborns are on Zantac and need it in order to be able to eat without screaming in pain. The pharmacy technician couldn’t be bothered to call around or look in the computer system to determine if another location had the medication because they were out. She had the gual to tell me that she didn’t have time, that there was 4 minutes until closing (she called me by the way) and she wanted to go home. When I verified that she in fact wanted ME to call around other Giant Eagles to determine if they had the medication, she said ummm yea. So the next day I called the Giant Eagle on West Broad and what do you know, they have a large stock of it and had no problem filling it for me. The technician’s name was Monica at the Stringtown location. Rita, the technician at the Broad Street location is AMAZING and she was so sweet and apologetic.
NEVER again.

I like this place and never had a bad experience here. If I had to say anything about what they could improve on I would say. Keep the liquor store open past 6pm on Sunday. Expand the cheese selection because it’s pretty bad compared to most Krogers. Work on the restrooms and keeping them stocked and clean. Things I like about Giant Eagle is their fuel perks accumulate way faster then Kroger. They don’t hike up the cost of their smokes like most other places like that do, but you pay a higher price on average for things such as charging 4.50 for the same lunchmeat I can buy at Kroger for 3.50.

They have a pretty good selection but they are more expensive than other grocery stores.

A little disappointed with this location.
Perhaps I’m just spoiled on the Sawmill Road location and even the one in Groveport, but the Grove City location was kind of a letdown.
I happened to be on Stringtown Road today visiting Dick’s Sporting Goods and on my way home I wanted to stop at the one store in Columbus whose deli kicks major butt — Giant Eagle. I mean, let’s face it, the Kroger deli ain’t got nothin’ on them, plus GE has the kickass hot foods bar as well as the prepared-​foods deli area and *THE BEST* rotisserie chickens in existence. After my first GE rotisserie chicken, haven’t bought one from Kroger since.
Well this location leaves much to be desired.
Was looking forward to picking up some yummy prepared foods from the deli because I had people coming over. Ended up with packaged potato salad and coleslaw because that’s basically all they had. Yes, there were a few selections in the deli case, but nothing you couldn’t find at Kroger. The reason I shop GE is because of the exceptional deli, bakery, hot and cold foods bar, etc.
The store itself is just fine and the employees were friendly, no problems there. But this GE doesn’t really differentiate itself from your basic Kroger. It’s a small building, though, so they probably don’t have the room for all the fancy stuff the other GE’s carry. So to be fair I have to bump this up to an «ok» rating, but I’ll still stick with my other locations from now on.

Another one of the looks quite huge on the outside but yet very tiny on the inside still though very clean and nice the alcohol department was a bit weird as they were selling regular sodas on the shelf in place of hard liquors/​wines that someone decided would look much better behind the cash registry that no one would think to look at unless they asked for something particular and then the clerk would obviously have to bend down to look for

Store’s nice and clean, including the parking lot. My parents come here to get produce, and they got me into the habit, too. They tend to have better deals on produce than Kroger (Georgesville Road location has produce of similar quality), and their produce is infinitely better than what you’ll find at Walmart. The organic section isn’t huge at this store. I’ve still found things here that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
If you’re so inclined, their selection of wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages is expansive, and their cooler is open to customers of legal drinking age. I’ve found my favorite beverage in the cooler where it belongs, rather than on the shelf.
My only pick is the prices. If you’re not getting something on sale, Giant Eagle tends to be a little spendy. Still, spending a little more for better quality is worth it.
