Ordered their own advertised dinner special at 11AM. Was told it would be ready at 3:30PM for pick up. Went to get the order at 4PM. It is not ready. Needs at least an hour. Came back at 5:20PM. It will be another hour to 1.5 hrs. (In other words, did not even start making chicken romano.)
Went to the Customer Service desk. Lady there gave me the most syrupy "Ohhhh, I am so sorry to hear that." Another voice piped up, it has been busy. (Is that why there are 3 people in the office sitting and talking to each other - not about work?) The third, I believe, Jim, said they will have to work 3x as

I've been going to Kramer for over 20 years. The food is always high quality with fantastic staff and it makes it worth paying a little bit more. I've had two recent back surgeries and I still have many problems with my knee. Clearly I have problems walking and Tony is always kind caring and helpful. Yesterday I was struggling getting my items out of my cart. Tony just walked over and offered to help. He unloaded the groceries from the cart to the checkout and then from my cart again into my car. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this Tony and I hope that your bosses understand

A true gem!!! Since 1953 owned by same family. Superb service, caring friendly staff in every Department. Don't miss their Deli where you find homemade delish soups, chicken salad, & 10 more salads. They cheerfully make fresh sandwiches; you choose what bread lettuce tomato & fantastic kosher pickle spear or half sandwiches. Produce perfect, butcher will cut to order. For it's small size it's such a gem.

I really like this grocery store, the staff here is what really sets it apart. The butcher is actually very knowledgeable and I can come in with just a general idea of what I want. Braised lamb, sure let me tell you the pros and cons of all the cuts. So great to still have such personable service that is really lacking these days.

Once again the only reason I come back to this store is for the deli and the wonderful deli employees! Some of the grumpy old cashiers have to go! There is one lady that always has a bad attitude and scowls so I try to avoid her.
I used to buy filet mignon here but I have been tricked too many times into spending $50 on steaks only to have them be tough, chewy or worse
end pieces are tucked under a nice piece to fool you into buying them.
Now I only purchase at Whole Foods or Marianos where the whole piece is visible and I can see what I am buying. The hot chickens are scrawny and also mushy

I shop at Kramers a couple times of week. The staff is great, and i'ts very convenient. Today I actually forgot my entire purse, but Joanne, a manager was so helpful and kind about it. I did my shopping and called back with a credit card and it was no problem. I love supporting local businesses, and they certainly earned my loyalty today! Thank you!

Rude staff. No one offered me any help at the counter and the cashier that expedited me, had the worst attitude. It seemed she got mad that I asked her to bag my dish detergent separately from my produce. She continued to repeat to me that "we always do that". Ok, chill lady. Everyone working here is old and so is their way of thinking. (If you know what I mean)

I highly recommend this grocery store. The deli is fabulous and the food is cooked on site daily. Their white cheddar mac and cheese topped with crumbled crackers is my favorite! Get there early as it sells out quickly. Their bakery goods are fresh and delicious. They are customer friendly and check-out is a breeze. Don't forget to get your complimentary cup of coffee and pastry bite. Happy shopping!

I've only been a couple times cause I was in the area. And boy it didn't disappoint! What I like about this store is that it seems like a place everyone would know each other and its small and such. It's not the most fancy store especially in Hinsdale but it's not rundown either. Now they're food lol. They're salads are amazing! And I'm not a salad person at all. They are good and hefty size for a reasonable price and you can pick your own salad dressing for free. Any extra is like .35 cents. The only reason I nocked a star was cause this one person in the deli

Still making the trek from the City to do our grocery shopping here every other week. The husband loves the homemade chicken salad and I am a huge fan of the marshmallow pistachio salad! I also have grown to love the shrink-wrapped produce. Their meatloaf mix is made in house and is very tasty. I also bought some pork chops here that were coated in mayo and panko crumbs that were delicious. And - they have Pepperidge Farm coconut cake in the cooler! What more do you really need?

I say anyone that doesn't give this oh so delightful grocer five stars has a heart made of stone. Nothing has changed at Kramers in years and that is part of its charm. The old lineoleum floor when you enter are still there as are the old time signs above the deli and bakery. The baby blue theme is a constant and they have Mr. Clean on staff to make sure everything is spotless. Even the old conveyor belts are cleaner than the newer ones at the spiffier "we have everything and then some" grocery stores!
Their burgers are hand formed and you can see and taste the difference.

Kramer's has been around forever in HInsdale, and has garnered a legion of loyal locals who shop here despite options like Jewel Osco and Whole Foods within an easy drive.
They don't have the best selection or prices in the area, but their Deli is truly excellent, with an abundance of employees available to create the sandwich of your dreams. You'll also find top notch meat here, with helpful employees available to get you exactly what you need or resize packages. Checkout lines seem to move pretty quickly here, and I've yet to encounter a grumpy clerk here. Customer service

You have the love the "little guy". That independent business owner who is still making it in today's crazy world of big conglomerates. Kramer Foods is just such a store.
In Hinsdale since 1953, Kramer's Foods provides that small town grocer feel with all the amenities of a large, modern grocery store. Want some homemade soup for lunch? They've got it- in fact they have two that change daily. How about a Door County pie in cherry or apple or some other small independent retailer like Bea's preserves (just sounds small town, doesn't it?) Or fresh, sweet corn

The man and I wandered in here last week and discovered their deli. Wow, what a mistake that was.
All other potato salads now seem subpar. And spinach dips. And...oh, well you get the idea. This isn't the faux "home made" crap from a tub that's dumped into deli trays. This is REALLY home made by the little old ladies in hair nets behind the counter, full of ingredients, not wet and gooey and bland.
The other great thing about this store is the produce department. I was shocked to see very high quality veg at reasonable prices. I scored some Italian cippolini onions
