Marsh

I’ve coined this as the «Barbie Dreamhouse Marsh.»
Why? you might ask…
Compared to many of the other Marsh’s in the area, this is, by far, one of the fancier ones. There is a parking garage that does fill up during busy times, but it’s nice to know your car is in a lot that’s secure.
This Marsh just feels a lot cleaner than the other locations I’ve been to (because it’s newer and more modern). My coworker comes to this location over the New Jersey location nearly every day because of the fresher products at their salad bar and the hot items served everyday.
There’s nothing really different I’ve noticed about this location, aside from it being newer, nicer, and a bit bigger. The prices are the same (you’re buying from a local grocer so keep that in mind).

Things are a bit expensive, but they have a good selection of food. They also have a food court-​like area and seating upstairs. The alcohol selection is also pretty good. I don’t do my usual shopping here but I like having a good store like this to pick up things at when I am downtown!

This Marsh wants to be a snooty Marsh but aside from Snooty prices, I believe they are struggling to be as upper echelon as they want to be. However, if you need to make a stop at the grocery store and you’re close by this one with a few extra dollars to spare (markups), I would say it’s worth the stop.
It sits on a corner and there is public metered parking available, but it’s also underneath an apartment building with garage parking. I think they validate your parking stamp if you use the garage.
The good: They have a huge deli selection with lots of foods aside from the normal salad and slaw options to choose from. Separate from the somewhat wrap around deli but right in front of it for easy spotting in the fruit/​dessert station which has fruit on one side and cute sweet treats on the other side. On this day that I visited this Marsh with bacon on my mind, they had slices of apple pie, a few different little pies & squares and some type of pastry option. It definitely was eye pleasing.
They also have a hot station with soups and other hot foods available, as well as a cook to order area that has a giant menu for one to gaze at. The fruit and vegetable section is also pretty big and if you’re like me and get excited at the prospect of a big veggie/​fruit area meaning more exotic options, then —
Stop looking. That’s not what that means here, although for a few marked up cents, you can get a nice selection of already diced onions, tomatoes, bruschetta, green peppers, celery and more. The space when you first walk in is open, bright and might make you eager to shop. You are able to see all the things I just mentioned with one quick eye scan.
Cons: Aside from the produce/​deli area, nothing else is different or special. And maybe they really weren’t trying to make it so who am I to call them out on something they did not seek to do? All I know is after you leave the produce, you head back into a regular Marsh. It doesn’t get dark like this one Marsh I know of, but there is nothing exciting or cool after move away from the produce. There are high prices, a small meat section, a huge refrigerated & freezer section (with prices that reflect) and a small cash register area. They have about 4 – 6 uscans and then about 2 or 3 (probably 2) cashiers. I assume they never have lines backed up through the aisles. The aisles are short aisles and remind me of the Kroger in Nora.
What can I say? It’s an AOk Marsh, if you need it. But if I were me, which I am, I would probably only break the glass in case of an Emergency.

It’s a great store. You’ll get tempted by their lunch counter with its variety of hot meals, but know it’s not good. Their salad area and deserts are awesome, however. Definitely check those out. They also sell a lot of organic/​very nice prepared meals, some of them for also a decent price.

super great. clean and organized and tons of alternative food options. open late and great downtown location. first time and i adore the little carts. will be back.

Great RX, otherwise Meh staff with attitudes, great location, location, location I’ve had a few problems at this store, theyre Clueless

Convenient, affordable, and very nice facility!
I have always been a fan of Marsh and the quality of products they offer. I used to live closer to the other location on New Jersey/​New York St. That location is quaint and in a great location just off of Mass Ave. However, this newer location on Michigan Ave is brand new, beautiful inside, and very well-​designed. Don’t get me started on the wine selection there. The special for wine at both locations is «buy six and get 15% off». I love that deal, though it can be dangerous to me because I always have wine accessible to me! I’m a fan of the hot rotisserie chicken that is always ready to go when I don’t want to have to worry about cooking the chicken. The sushi there is actually quite good as well! I was not sure what to expect, but thanks to the free samples given out, I was able to try it and was pleasantly surprised.
I love that they have a parking ramp for customers because that makes everything much easier. Although the prices aren’t the cheapest, the convenience is something that really can’t be beat. I will continue to come here most of my grocery and basic shopping needs.

The selections are OK. Produce is usually solid, but if you want to save some money, drive to Kroger. Strangely, this smaller Marsh seems to have more stuff that we need vs the new one across downtown.

I love the mezzanine! Great spot to eat whatever you’ve purchased downstairs. Also fantastic spot to work from, with tons of outlets, seating and free ice water with lemon!

This is a huge convenience to have in the downtown area, especially after being used to doing all of my shopping at the Marsh on New Jersey.
This is a full sized grocery store. It has just about everything you could be looking for and a lot more. One of my favorite things in this place is their large variety of pay-​by-​the-​pound options for dried fruit, nuts, trail mix, beans, grains, oat, and a variety of other items. I’m guessing they have 80 or so containers that are filled with these items that you can then take as much or little as you need and it is paid for by weight. They also have a great selection of wines, beer, and cheeses. The deli is large and has plenty of meats and cheeses, as well as specialty items and prepared dishes. They even have some olive bar selections.
Like you would expect from a grocery store downtown, they are more expensive then stores selling the same thing out in the suburbs, but the convenience makes it worth it. They have a garage with free parking for customers (make sure to get a voucher at checkout), so you can stay out of the rain getting to and from your car. They also have a decent amount of bike parking both outside of the store and inside the garage. It isn’t located on the cultural trail, but it is only a short detour from that, and Michigan Road actually has a bike lane that I usually take over here.
They do a good job of stocking shelves, which is also a significant difference from the other downtown Marsh. They have quite a few organic options in their veggie and fruit area, and they have a wide variety of offerings. I feel confident that they will always have what I am looking for, although the quality of their offerings for fresh items can be hit and miss, especially with veggies. I also think that their meat selection is often smaller than I would expect for this size store, so hopefully that eventually changes.
I haven’t ever been specifically for this reason, but they do have a lot of options for the lunch crowd. Their deli area makes a lot of hot foods, and they have a good sized seating area to enjoy lunch.
While I will still drive down to Aldi to save some money on basic foodstuffs, this is the store I will continue to visit for a variety of items that I can’t get elsewhere in the downtown area or just want the convenience of walking or biking over to the store.

I love having a grocery story blocks away but won’t lie — the prices are a bit high but we’re downtown so I’m used to it. :)
I will say I won’t buy produce if I don’t expect to finish it in a few days — had a few too many «my stuff is spoiled so I’m mad/​sad» episodes.
Oh and be smart — use self checkout when it gets busy!

Went there after hitting up all the downtown Krogers to get some Greek yogurt. That was all I wanted. Store is very clean and has a wide selection, however there are no store brands which keeps shopping here more expensive than I’m used to. However I will come back as it is close to my apartment, quality, clean and you can park in their garage for free as long as you buy something.

First of all… settle down Marsh, nobody wants to steal your parking. The parking garage and the tickets to get out are a huge deterrent for me. What do you do when the lot is full? Why is that thing broken half of the time? Just hire a human to keep an eye on the lot, it’s not that complicated.
What’s up with all of the carts everywhere? I can’t even take my cart to my car because they are all blocking the way. Boooo.
Another reason I dislike this grocery store is because they do not have a good variety of lean meats. Today is the second time I have been there and they have had no ground turkey or lean ground chicken. This store is HUGE, but the the variety stinks. The Marsh on New Jersey is a fraction of the size and has a better selection of food.
To top it off, they prices are expensive. No thanks Marsh.

I’m so happy to finally have a good grocery store option right downtown. The produce section is large, clean, and fresh. They also have a decent selection of bulk goods, beer, and wine. There is a nice mezzanine where you can eat food from the hot bar, salad bar, soup bar, etc. It’s much less stressful to shop here than my other nearby options. I know I can usually find what I’m looking for — if I can figure out where it is. Which brings me to the negatives…
Sometimes it can be difficult to find anyone to help you locate a product. They don’t have any large shopping carts available. I love the small double decker carts most of the time, but, if I’m picking up cat litter and toilet paper, I don’t have much room left for food! It’s not uncommon for them to only have one regular checkout lane open. I don’t like self checkout, and I’m not the only one. Sometimes the line for the regular checkout can be very long, especially at 5:00 pm or so. I love cheese, and they have like four different areas with cheese. Whew, can we consolidate please?
As far as parking, there’s a bike rack out front and covered bike parking and car parking on the first floor of the garage.

Man, do I love this Marsh! I don’t normally get excited about grocery stores, but this one has everything! I have to admit that the first time I visited this Marsh I was fully expecting it to be more expensive and more bourgeois than the typical Marsh because of its downtown placement, but I was delightfully surprised. The pricing is comparable and it has perks galore.
They have an in-​house sushi chef, which I know is found at other Marsh locations, but it also has a restaurant/​deli/​buffet section, manned cheese station (usually complete with yummy samples), a mezzanine, a giant, regular deli section, gobs of fresh, butchered meat and wide variety of wine and other spirits. The store is always clean, produce always fresh and the staff has always been very friendly and helpful with me.
They do have a private parking garage that’s accessible from Michigan St., but make sure that you grab a green parking garage ticket from the cashier when you checkout, though. If you happen to forget that pass, you’ll end up being stuck with paying $ 25 to exit the garage and I’m positive that $ 25 could be better spent on other fun, Unilocal-​able activities :)

A grocery store that has all the fresh meat n veggies I need for my daily cooking, just a few blocks from my home! What else can I ask for. With this store so close, I never have to worry about planning for dinners at my place, because if I don’t get the time to cook I can always pick up stuff that’s freshly cooked here!
However, I feel this place is expensive. I’d much rather shop elsewhere if I have that time but honestly I am a spot grocery shopper. I usually do not wait till the end of the month to do all my groceries. Keep adding whatever I need to my pantry. I really like their fresh food section which includes baked chicken, roasted chicken fried, chicken, lots of pasta, olives!
Very decent bakery section as well. You can pick up all kinds of cakes I really like their carrot cake particularly. Also they carry Krispy Kreme donuts and cupcakes. I would say their seafood section is also very decent, you can find a good variety of sizes and shrimps as well as a few kinds of fish that has been marinated or available fresh.
I generally buy my food products from the store however refrain from buying supplies for my laundry or other cleaning stuff from here it’s because I feel the store is expensive however it’s absolutely worth buying fresh products from here instead of getting them from Walmart.

What a great addition to the downtown Indy scene and indicator that our residential saturation in the core of the city is growing and worthy of a second grocery option. A few of my favorite pieces about this location is the wealth of natural lighting from the windows and overhead, bike parking available both indoors and out (indoor parking garage), updated deli section with more unique and attraction options and last, but certainly not least, the fact that there is now tofu on the salad bar (wahoo!!). A few other highlights for fellow shoppers: improved dessert/​bakery options in comparison to the downtown O’Malia’s location, chilled wine, plentiful cheese, fresh flowers and an attractive produce section display. (full disclosure: I’m a sucker for pretty produce sections — — I can’t help but love Whole Foods and other fancy grocery stores for this note alone).

GREAT customer service!!!
I called to say I had gotten home and did not have a reciept in the bag, and on top if that my marsh card hadn’t been scanned so it was über expensive, and the manager was SO HELPFUL and got everything sorted out really quickly.
Everyone in the store is very friendly and helpful also!!!

Despite the downtown inflated prices, I really like this Marsh. It is attached to a parking garage, the first floor of which is dedicated just to Marsh customers. When you check out, the cashier will ask if you parked in the garage. If you did, you will get a voucher for the machine in order for you to leave the garage for free. Best part is that since it’s closer to the edge of downtown, I haven’t had to deal with traffic so far (last week, I went Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday; both traffic & parking were a breeze for all three days).
Pros:
— Quality of fruits here is a lot better than the Marsh on W 38^th St.
— Pretty big selection of alcoholic beverages for a supermarket.
— Bin near the shopping carts for you to recycle plastic bags.
— They have samples! During the daytime, there’s a lady offering sushi samples. They also have smoothie, coffee (I think?), and cheese samples too.
— All the employees that I’ve interacted with have been super nice.
— It’s pretty new so everything looks all nice & clean
Cons:
— Overpriced (obviously)
— The arrangement of items is kind of weird. The pistachios (commercial brand) are only located with the fruits & veggies but not with the actual nuts section. Certain types of tortillas are only in the corner near the milk & yogurt instead of with the other tortillas in the bread section. I understand if you place items strategically to market them but at least have a couple of packages where people would expect them to be! Shopping here can take a lot longer than normal if you’re searching for some specific items. This is the only reason I took 1 star off.
I wish their produce section was bigger but I haven’t figured out if small produce sections are a Mid-​West thing. I will probably end up coming here often despite the prices due to convenience of commuting and parking. They also usually have what I’m looking for even if I need to spend 10 minutes finding it.

It’s soooo nice to have a grocery store downtown that has all of the basics and a decent selection of. Well. Grocery items.
Pleased with the gluten free section as well as the deli and produce. Bike parking available in the Garage.
