Updated by user Jun 09, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with other. Re-Directed to someone who could assist with thd issue.

It was not the store's fault. Reach out directly to the establishment first to see if they can help resolve the issue.

Original review May 25, 2025

As I was scanning the card on my Petes app, ir stop applying my points. The customer service person redirected me to a number to resolve the issue. The representative was pleasant.

Couldn't get hold of anyone who can solve my problem. Found the page where they are going to charge one dollar to answer my questions. I am upset with your customer service; couldn't talk to anyone.

I had a bad experience yesterday in your oak park store

AI Highlights
  • - Customer felt discrimination at checkout over price tags.
  • - They say service was bad and they had bought crab legs a week earlier.
Original review updated Jan 12, 2023

I want to the fish market to buy to get some crabs legs that you guys had on sale I was giving the tag of how much they would cost and was told that they will be taking up to the cashier which is discrimination Because it seems as if I was going to steal them when I had a cart full of groceries and I just purchased crab legs a week prior to and they didnt do that so I just feel that was bad customer service and you have lost a valuable customer

Ad ***

Poor Customer service

AI Highlights
  • - Checkout staff forgot to add the amount to the app, and customer service directed online with receipts, but the site rejects emails.

They want you to use their app. Ok - then the checkout person says she forgot to add the $ amount to your app.

Sorry I cant do it. Take to customer service. OK Customer service manager says sorry I cant do this for you, take this paper and follow instructions for our web site and do it on line.

Take pics of receipt, add # send to their website and after all this BS it comes back cannot use this address as it is not excepting any e mails at this time ! WTH!

Pros:
  • Product availability

Complaint

AI Highlights
  • - No staff watched the food island bar.
  • - A meatball was bitten and two bite marks were left on it in the tray.

No body is watching food island bar . Someone bit into a meatball and put it back on the tray !

With covid rampant ! There should be a camera installed over the hot food area if no employees are watching ? That person should be arrested and banned from this store on103 rd and Harlem ave. Two bite marks on the meatball left on the tray with other meatballs !

I told the employee by the hot grill area and he removed the tray promptly! Im afraid to buy hot food there now .

Why are there no cameras by the food bar ? Or at least a sign Saying camera is recording!

Pros:
  • Food is ok

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

User's recommendation: Don’t eat there until cameras are installed by food bars !

myself and three friends went to petes in bridgeview on 10/21/2020. at around 4pm and tried to get some hot food to go, but everything was already closed down ,, and we could not even get a cup of coffee as that was also closed.

we were very disappointed as we have been their a few times before.

don't know if we should go their any more. thank you

User's recommendation: if you go there and expect to get hot food, but your closed early, why waste my time if your already closed ,when you are suppose to be open.
