Felt like a deli/grocery in NY. Carries Boars Head and has a great selection of carryout foods. Full groceries and I even purchased a gift! 100 percent recommend!

For many years, this store was dirty and run-down, which surprised me because it's in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Chicago. They finally cleaned it up a bit and updated it, though it isn't very economical. Various pluses include the location and authentic bagels. It has the atmosphere of a neighborhood store and is there when you need it.

Between my parents shopping at Potash for 35 years and now me and my own family for the past 25+ years—it’s my favorite grocery store, they have everything you need, great customer service, good prices, great meat and produce, so convenient, and they offer that beautiful small town grocery atmosphere. We love Potash! ❤️

I recently visited Potash to purchase a rotisserie chicken for my dog and had an unsettling experience. As I was leaving, I was publicly confronted and accused of not paying for groceries stored in my dog’s stroller. While I understand the importance of staff ensuring that items are paid for, the manner in which I was treated was degrading and disrespectful.

If they assumed I managed to reach the exit without paying, it indicates a flaw in their own system. Potash has opted for a self-checkout process while cashiers often stand idly, chatting or eating. I am a loyal, paying customer and deserve to be treated with respect. The security guard’s reaction was unprofessional—yelling at me as though I was guilty of wrongdoing without any real basis. Had they been attentive, they would have seen that I was in the store for less than three minutes, which wasn’t enough time to gather all the groceries I was accused of not paying for.

If outside groceries are not allowed, that policy should be made clear. However, chasing me down, shouting, and treating me as if I had done something wrong was unnecessary and humiliating. Not one employee, manager, or owner offered an apology for how I was treated, despite my evident distress. Mistakes happen, but when they do, customers deserve acknowledgment and an apology. Potash’s failure to do so shows a lack of value for their customers—or at least for me because to them I am a nobody.

Potash has the best meat. The best fish. The very best chicken. And bagels/great pies if you get there early. I shop selectively there - other things are much higher priced than regular markets.
