What People Are Saying About The Goddess & Grocer
The Editor

In Short – Foodies stop by this cute, tiny spot for food on the run. Decked in fuchsia and pea-green walls, it's lined with picnic-perfect prepackaged hot sauces, cereals and chocolates. In the deli case, there's organic orange-and-beet salad, meats like peppered salami and breads fresh from Red Hen bakery. Design-your-own salads and sandwiches are one option, while house preparations like smoked brisket with barbecue sauce, grilled onions and cheddar on Kaiser showcase the kitchen's creativity. – –

Yummy food but very PRICEY!
by WindyCityNewbie at Citysearch
The Goddess has excellent food, but it would be even better if it was half the price! I got an order to-go for dinner tonight for myself and it cost $16 for just Mac N Cheese (gourmet of course) and 2 Chicken tenders. The Mac N Cheese is amazing, but not worth $10. The better deal is the "make your own salad," but even that can end up costing an easy $12. In short, with today's economy, I really think this place needs to lower their prices.
- Pros: Great for take out, creative pre-made selections
- Cons: Expensive!

Sanitary issues-beware
by renescott at Citysearch
Ill cut to the chase-we went here for lunch recently and sat at the common table in side the store. Upon getting up from the table and finishing, I looked down and saw a dead rodent by my chair. Pretty disgusting. We have gone to this place a zillion times, we used to live in the neighborhood and liked it enough that even when we moved, would return for a quick dinner pick up or lunch. I have noticed the quality of the food declining, but to see a DEAD RODENT in the store is outlandish. We shared with one of the employees that it was there and she swept it up in the dust pan. I hope they are able to keep the doors open and avoid more mishaps becasue the food is creative enough with a broad range of sandwhich and take home options. I wish them the best but WILL NOT RETURN. Im sure if we knew what really went on in some of the kitchens of our favorite restaurants, we probabably would never eat out-but this incident was just to obvious to ignore.
- Pros: convenient and large selections
- Cons: sanitation, parking

Good food/bad value
by JacobBlair at Citysearch
Good fresh, healthy food, but not good portions for the price. Also, much better to eat there than get delivered. They don't even give you chips with your sandwich. Cheap bastards! Enticing menu selection though, I must admit.
- Pros: Seemingly healthy
- Cons: Too expensive for the portions
