Strack & Van Til is a clean, affordable supermarket with a friendly and helpful staff. Customers appreciate the store’s laid-back and pleasant vibe, making shopping a positive experience. The store offers a good selection of cheeses and meats, and prices are generally cheaper than competitors like Walmart, especially for items like cereal, medicine, and cleaning supplies. Many shoppers, including those on the Southeast Side of Chicago and in Whiting, have shopped there for over 30 years and consider it their go-to store. The staff, including Lisa in the deli, do a great job ensuring everything is fresh and delicious, and they are attentive to customer needs. Customers have praised the store’s service, including special arrangements and timely delivery. While some items may be more expensive or lack organic options, the overall experience is satisfying. Cashiers, mostly young, are sometimes perceived as indifferent, but interactions with other staff members are consistently pleasant and helpful. Although not specializing in Hispanic foods, the store is convenient for quick, easy-to-prepare items.
I highly advise you to check the expiration date on the food products that you are about to purchase. This store has a lot of expired products on there shelf. I think the owners don’t care if they sell expired food.
