    Fantastic flagship store. 3rd biggest WF location behind their HQ in Austin, and then London flagship. Come for the bars, healthy fast food, or maybe groceries.

    This is the 3rd largest Whole Foods in the world - stop in and not only get groceries, but also visit one of the many mini-"restaurants" inside and relax & enjoy some brews at the pub on your way out.

    Affectionately known as, "Club Whole Foods (CWF)", this place has 4 (yes, I said 4) places to have a drink! My personal favorite is D'Vine Wine Bar, which is located in the center of the store. CIO!

    Free parking in the garage is great! Wi-fi, LOTS of outlets for keeping electronics charged and the expansive food court make this a GREAT place for the mobile office warrior!

    Everything! It's my favorite grocery store. There's tons of places to eat before you get your groceries and you can even have a glass of wine while shopping. Great for anyone

    Some of the little restaurants inside the site are good (enjoy the beef yakisoba a lot) and the bulk food/spice section is great, but everything is so expensive that I avoid WF whenever possible

    Really nice staff to help you pick out a bottle of wine. They will usually have it at the wine bar to try it before buying

    This seems to be one of the larger Whole Foods stores I've been to. The homemade juices are the best. Lots of hot food areas to choose from too.

    Food food, oh wonderful food. You're "Whole", sometimes sweet - and good to eat! What a treat, to meet and greet healthy Chicagoans while on my feet. This food gets me all crazy; varieties neat. Yum!

    If you can find the right nook to stake out at, you could live at Whole Foods. They have a coffee shop with free wi-fi, a bar area for watching sports and a wine bar. Use the bath salts to stay fresh

    This Whole Foods is built along the river. If you head out the West exit there is a nicely landscaped walkway and a view of downtown Chicago.

    When ordering tacos to go, have them put the tacos in a bowl rather than a bag. It reduced spillage and makes it look so much better.

    This Whole Foods is amazing and my favorite. A Friday late morning a great day to shop, stop for a bite, and have an ale.

    The 4 Berry smoothie is amazingly refreshing on a hot summer day. This is the best Whole Foods in the city, maybe on the planet! My only complaint: They don't have diced beets at the salad bar!

    Plenty of organics to be had. The seafood and meat departments are great, and there is a massive cheese department.

    This is a veritable amusement park of food. Set aside a good chunk of time and an appetite if you want to experience it all.

    Bought a "shoulder of lamb" from Whole Foods on Saturday. Slow-cooked it for 7 hours at 250 degrees. Delicious! Living it up as empty-nesters!

    Love to grab stuff off the trail mix bar to snack on, then head upstairs to work on the free wifi. They also have a water cooler and microwave on the second level, should you need it.

    Skip the River View Diner: Your order will be so screwed up you'll feel like Jack Nicalson in As Good as It Gets: Jessica was more interested in talking to guests. Egg shells in my eggs for a start

    Outdoor seating by the registers is the way to go. Otherwise prepare to fend of everyone for the last spot at the always kinda dirty community table

    The wine bar is great. Jose knows what he's talking about. He said the California Chardonnay goes best with "fatty" pates. Sorry to say he is correct. ;-)
