    Great Jewel location. I had a great experience here. Large store with everything you could want.

    Great staff at the Bakery counter. I ordered a Birthday cake after noon and was able to pick it up by 5pm. It was nicely decorated. I asked for vanilla custard filling and it was delicious! I know there are fancier places to buy a Birthday cake but in a pinch, Jewel is reliable, consistent and competitively priced. I appreciate the service and the quality.

    The cashiers and the people that work there are mean if they're doing something and you ask them a question they're going to either not answer you or they're cocky I won't go to that Jewel anymore ever.

    Went to Bakers Square for lunch. Plenty of parking. Food was so so. Seated right away. Was on Wednesday, so free piece of pie that was very good.

    Love it! Can hit the gym (Planet Fitness) then buy groceries afterwards (Jewel) and if I need pet supplies or a hardware store, it's all here!

  • 5/5 Wendy M. 5 months ago on Google • 96 reviews
    I'm here all the time. Jewel ROCKS! As the other stores in the mall... Awesome! You got a bank, work out place, pet supplies, ace hardware, that pie restaurant, baker's square. All it needs is a store like ROSS er something and it's one stop shopping!

    This Jewel has really stepped up its game ! The little one on Central Ave & Lawrence Ave is always out of sale items & that forces me to waste my gas to drive over to thus nice & clean & in-stock & friendly Jewel on Harlem Ave & Foster Ave.

    Always good to go to buy thigs on sale. But they also have fresh fruit. Cut up fruit. They have everything at this place.

  • 4/5 Thomas N. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    Good selection of shops. Parking lot a bit hard to navigate and find parking at times.

  • 5/5 Peggy B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this Jewel. They appear to be stocked better than any Jewel in the area. Only problem with this site is that it is Chicago and you have to pay for thr plastic bags and pay a tax on water.

    This restaurant is all you can eat for 30 $(some item sisnn't included) The food is delivered by waitres- robot with nice music accompanied. The sushi place has a robotic rice machine that significantly decreases the quality of sushi and results in dry and chewy rice. You can go with friends and have fun mixing up, but don't expect to have superior quality sushi.

  • 4/5 Louise P. 1 year ago on Google
    Just fine, easy to park and run into Jewel, Ace, etc. Wish they had more places to eat...

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Big box. Big savings it what I say. And that is what you get. A lot of good prices in everything

  • 4/5 David V. 10 months ago on Google
    We went to Bakers Square. The food was excellent. Although, the shopping center needs a make over, especially the parking lot.

  • 1/5 John L. 9 months ago on Google
    The people in the Deli are snobs when serving customers, when I was waiting for 20 minutes I was watching them , looks like no one has Experience in CUSTOMER service they all have Chios on their shoulders.

  • 4/5 Abe Sierra S. 9 months ago on Google
    Personally my store of choice is Jewel's. I know where everything is at. Go in get what you need and go home. No problem.

  • 5/5 Debra F. 9 months ago on Google
    I always shop at this Jewel. They always have everything I need and the employees are very helpful!

  • 4/5 Sally H. 2 years ago on Google
    Mall is usually not crowded, plenty of parking available. Pet store has everything you could need for your pet. There is also a gym and a children's uniform store here. Mall is clean. I do most of my grocery shopping at Jewel.

  • 5/5 Patricia H. 2 years ago on Google
    Always a good location for shopping for groceries, bakery, fitness/workout, banking & restaurants. This is also the location of one of the only Bakers Square restaurants left in Chicago, IL.

  • 5/5 Kathie 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Yolanda S. 4 months ago on Google
    Smaller store but good setup,decent parking, good staff

  • 5/5 ron l. 2 years ago on Google
    I visit Ace Hardware so much I feel like I’m Norm from the sitcom “CHEERS”! And Pet Supply Plus is right next door. Then I make my way to Jewel-Osco for groceries and to pick up my blood pressure medicine.

  • 5/5 Esme-Rose W. 2 years ago on Google
    This shopping center was ideal for going shopping! Anything shown here would undoubtedly appeal to you. The place was very welcoming and not overcrowded. This should be recommended to those who want to go shopping.

  • 5/5 Sandra C. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent spot! You got pretty have the things you need at this shopping center, from food, and cosmetics. They merit extraordinary evaluations. A cleaned and perfect spot like this was incredible to stroll with the family. I have all that I need! I will not stop for a second to prescribe this spot to the entirety of my family members and associates to visit this shopping center. Have a great time!

  • 5/5 Dawn Marie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Hope Mariano's doesn't close Jewel now that they've bought them!

  • 4/5 Cheryl M. 2 years ago on Google
    Possibly the most upscale shopping mall in the Bay Area. Features Nordstrom's and Bloomingdale's, and a ton of high end smaller stores on the floors below Nordstrom's. You can get to Nordstrom's via a direct elevator or on the cool semi-circular escalators and check out the original stained glass dome. Bloomingdale's takes up much of the upper northeast end of the Centre.

  • 5/5 Mary B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great shopping center with lots of stores. I appreciate that they do a good job shoveling the snow. There was always somewhere to park in this shopping mall.

  • 4/5 Paul D. 1 year ago on Google
    Convenient, large parking lot ,Jewel,ace hardware,Murray auto,pet store and other small stores

  • 4/5 Calvin M. 1 year ago on Google
    The worse-for-wear building facades and parking lot conceal a number of clean, well kept, and local favorite places. The restaurants are good, the grocery store well stocked, and the other various shops offer many helpful services.

  • 4/5 seef s. 1 year ago on Google
    It was good,I think every Thursday they have classic cars show

  • 5/5 Sheila S. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time visiting this Jewel Food Store. It's pretty big inside.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool cars on Thursday nites

  • 3/5 MYKEMALICIOUSSF 1 year ago on Google
    Okay mall but in the throws of dying. Parking lot is a disaster and torn up, quite a few empty stores and paint faded. There is a Jewel, Bank Of America, Pet Supplies and Ace Hardware there which honestly is all the place really has going for it. Only really go here when I have to.

  • 5/5 Daniel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good plaza literally has everything I need. My gym is there next to a grocery store for my after workout food hunger.

  • 4/5 Wm B. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm by all means NOT a mall-rat, but if I had to be one the Harlem-Foster Shopping Center would be high on my list! It's definitely unique and you feel high-end just riding the spiral escalators! At one time the only such escalators in America... I'm not so sure if that still applies today, but in a way the architects built this mall around these famous escalators!

  • 5/5 mark e. 7 months ago on Google
    came to this mall for the Ace hardware. Needed zip screws for a leaf guard install. . was convenient off the expressway.. Staff are knowledgeable highly recommend

  • 5/5 Bobby T. 1 year ago on Google
    Jewel was clean, but did not have item I went there for (Fudgsicles). 😔

  • 5/5 lil r. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved. This grocery store has all. Only expensive

  • 5/5 Pam D. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been shopping here for 27 years. The store is always clean, organized and well stocked. I know a lot of the employees by first name which adds to the enjoyment of shopping. Same goes for the pharmacy. Even though I don't get my prescriptions filled there anymore because I had to change my insurance however, when it came time to get my Covid vaccine I only trusted them to do it. Today was my second shot and I didn't feel a thing !!! ☺️☺️☺️ There is one employee that I want to give extra kudos: MARCO This guy knows the store like the back of his hand. Not only is he knowledgeable, he's pleasant and will stop what he's doing to assist you. I've never seen him just walking around. He's always busy doing something. There is another Jewel closer to my home but I choose to drive the extra distance because I like this store better.

  • 5/5 Mario S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really clean and the pharmacy super nice people.

  • 3/5 Cynthia G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Cheryl E. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Michael 10 months ago on Google
    I went to advanced auto parts for a dir. sig. bulb and a fastener for my trunk liner but bcuse i didn't have one to show the guy (who acted like a hot shot)in the store,so I was told to look through the rack to see if it was there but it wasn't so i went back to my car to try and "pry" one off my car but in the process,IT broke.,a bit frustrating..the store guy didn't offer to help me take it off my trunk so..now i have to use a pliers and get the stem out THEN get a new fastener from a store but NOT the store i was at.,maybe ill get treated better.,I have a good mind to call corporate!!
