This location is popular. Almost every parking spot is occupied but there is always a place to park. All of the businesses are in really close walking distance from your parking spot. Very convenient!
I got kicked out of Harvest Ranch though I did nothing wrong. Even though I bought food, and had the receipt, I was accused of stealing that food, and harassing staff that I had never spoken to. Heartbreaking, because no matter what I did, I was guilty. I cant even describe how bad I feel right now. How much shame, embarrassment, disgust. Im horrified that I could be terrorized by Harvest Ranch employees, who even followed me outside of the store, harassing me after I left, with the receipt in my hand, which they refused to acknowledge. Why??? I dont understand why??? 🥺 Doesnt anyone care?
I’ve been here multiple times and got the cut up cheese with grapes that had mold on it. I’ve had a premade salad with slimmy lettuce. The quality of the food here is not good. Although it presents to look good it is not. The workers aren’t very friendly either.
Visiting from Phoenix for a few days. Great deli, staff is super friendly. The gentleman working the weekend bbq cooks some of the best tri tip Ive ever had. A great selection of pre made food and desserts. Would never cook if we lived close to this market. Hope to see you again soon!
Amazing place to get high quality produce and deli. I walked in there to get a sandwich. I met Joe, he recommended a turkey breast and it was delicious. I was impressed of the quality of the food here. Everything is clean and organized. They also have a great selection of wine. This place is like a mini Whole Foods. Definitely coming back. I highly recommend it to everyone.
It was alright, not my favorite place though they have a few healthy snacks you cant get other places. And the Deli looks nice, couldnt get any food but it looked good. They definitely dont have a lot of common/popular drinks/snacks that youd usually find in other stores.
They have good food, but for the price, I expected more food! We ordered appetizers and they were small! My one daughter ordered chicken strips and fries and she got 3 of the tiniest chicken tenders Ive ever seen! If youre hungry, dont go here!
Best high end marketing East County. The best of best for the more well healed clientele. STAFF WONDERFUL
A little overpriced. This is an upscale market and they do have superior beef poultry and fish, their deli counter features boars head meat and cheese and they have an amazing selection of local bread and other goods. And their pasta selection is awesome.But, their produce selection is about on par with sprouts quality which it used to be so much better. Their produce prices are higher.But, this is a small store that does fill a local niche for high quality gourmet foods we might not be able to find elsewhere. Like duck or a standing rib roast, lamb and more. So ts always worth stopping in here to see what you can get the just isnt found at the big grocers or smaller ethnic markets.
Awesome local grocery store, with a lovely counter with many varieties of prepared food.
Tired of fast food? Real food prepared for you to put in the oven and so tasty. I love the individuality of the way it looks. Small town America!
This is one of my favorite specialty markets. Used to be part of Jonathan’s in San Diego county. There is fresh organic fruit and vegetable, good options at the meat counter and I always love my choices at the deli. Had a sandwich with homemade chips. Only bummer is they ran out of chips for my friends sandwich and didn’t have an alternate options to offer her bag chips or a side salad to make up for it.
Fresh food and high quality products but overpriced.
Delicious deli meat and side dishes but a bit expensive, cant really tell you about the rest of the store but I think it is a lot of organic stuff...
Lovely store with unique food choices. It has fabulous meat and the best filet mignon I have ever had.
Way too expensive for your stuff like way too expensive I dont care what you do I used to prep and cook your stuffs way too expensive I would never go back there and I used to go there lot used to be some decent stuff there Miss Susie great but your prices are outrageous literally outrageous you going to tell me Im going to spend $30 for almost two sticks of kabobs it doesnt make sense the math doesnt ad up😡😡😡😡😡😡
Come here if you want food poisoning from the deli meat !
I went into to buy some carrots and I only at 1$ on me. This wonderful associate Juan took time out of his day to split carrots up and give me 99c worth! Best service ever! Thank you Juan for going the extra mile!
Great little neighborhood market. Their quality makes up for the high pricing on some items
Amazing meat counter and wine selection
Beautiful food displays. Slow service with no acknowledgement of you being there. Sandwich/salad maker had loose hair piled high above her head with it flying every wich way as she prepared her customers sandwiches. Very unappealing. We decided wed go elsewhere for lunch.
I cant afford to shop here but I do buy breakfast burritos several times a month from the deli. They make the best ones in town. Im not saying that their breakfast burritos are Mexican food, but they cant be beat. If you go early enough, the shoestring potatoes will have been freshly fried and are extremely delicious and crispy. They add the dimension that other burritos are missing. I like to have mine prepared with over medium eggs, which is something you also cant get at other places. You will get a semi-traditional red salsa which is quite sweet, and another more creamier one that I prefer. The deli employees always do a great job delivering on your preferences and are always friendly. The prices are very reasonable and the product is quite large. Once you start going here you will return often. I recommend calling in your order ahead of time to minimize wait and allow time for the food to be prepared correctly. They have double and triple meat options for multiple varieties, which off the top of my head are egg, potatoes and cheese, chorizo, steak and eggs, bacon and sausage. The fresh squeezed juice near checkout is also delicious. I believe they are available from 8am-2pm.
Love this place! Got some fresh squeezed OJ (the machine is right up front), plus mushrooms, veggies, and flank steak for dinner tonight. Awesome selection of meat, produce, and boutique grocery items (specialty marinades, artisanal hot sauces, etc). The prices are a bit high, but everything is top quality, and I dont mind splurging once in a while. They have wine, cheeses, the whole nine. Definitely worth a stop...
Their pre-made ready to eat food often looks better than it tastes. Expensive but a great place to pick up food for the occasional party..lots of high end items that you dont have to.prep
Cute from the outside but everything is over priced. I didnt find anything else different than other markets.
Little pricey but great quality.
Santa Maria style BBQ every weekend!! OMG!!! Your welcome!(Red Oak Wood)
Harvest Ranch store is a fine store to shop in for some of my favorite food stuff. There are days that one of my favorites chopped barbecue ribs are not available and I wish there would be grilled salmon on Fridays.
This one time they had a huge BBQ setup outside, I got a fresh tritip sandwich that was so good I cant stop thinking about it. Amazing!!
Great meat market
Very very expensive staff not very nice
Have to give this place a lesser rating due to poor service. We called for fresh seafood and the service counter was very helpful to get help us with what we needed, bagged and weighed them before we got there. Unfortunately we needed a little panchetta and had to visit the service deli. I stood there for a good 2 minutes before she looked up from chopping cucumbers. Then looked down again. I said, hello and what met with, did you need help with something?. I dont usually make it a habit to stand aimlessly in front front if deli meats, but this girl obviously thinks that we all waste her time. I asked her to help me and she had trouble. Didnt know the meat I was asking for, turns out it was in the case, couldnt understand what one inch meant. And when she cut a chunk that was less than half an inch and I asked for something larger, she just tossed it in the trash. Very disappointing service. They have some good products, but a couple of people who spoil the place. Since there is not much in El Cajon for quality ingredients, you may have to come here, but try to avoid it.
Super expensive
This one time they had a huge BBQ setup outside, I got a fresh tritip sandwich that was so good I cant stop thinking about it. They made their own chips which are insane.
We like Harvest Ranch Market and enjoyed the bustle and nice variety of food establishments.
Large selection of specialty deli items. Great if youre putting together a nice gift basket. Prices are very high. So much so, that I only shop here for the above mentioned items. Very neat and clean. Parking stalls are a little on the small side and limited.
Way overpriced and unfriendly service...
Amazing specialty grocery store with great produce, meats and deli. bakery is wonderful and the staff is extremely helpful. Fresh juice and exceptional onsite bakery and smoked meats. Great. Go there. Go independent.
Excellent potato salad. Pricey but delicious
Just drove past it.
This one time they had a huge BBQ setup outside, I got a fresh tritip sandwhich that was so good I cant stop thinking about it. They made their own chips which are insane.
Little market pretty cool but parking is a pain
Do not order delivery from here, please go in if you want a hot sandwich. Tri tip and hot pastrami both tasted as if came straight out of the refrigerator and didnt even get warmed up. The cheese was not even melted so you know the supposed hot fresh meat was old and cold. 1 star is appropriate as the egg salad sandwich was decent.
Nice little market. Clean, lots of parking and good selection of grocery items. Employees are real friendly too!
I love this market. Purchased by Thanksgiving Dinner precooked it was wonderful last year. I have my order in already for this year. I love that you can order your Thanksgiving dinner hot or reheat when you get home. Everyone has been very nice to me.
The best steaks in townwhen I go into this place I even get more hungry
Really fun store with some interesting options but it is pricey.
Quality food, clean and well run. Expensive though.
The place on Jamacha is a beautiful store. I went in looking for something to eat. The problem was I have a couple food allergies to eggs and dairy. Everything I looked at did not have an ingredients list on it. And when I asked in the service deli nobody knew what was in any of food. And we’re not willing to grab a bag from the back to read ingredients off of. So for me as someone who struggles with what to eat and where to find food that is available for myself I give them a one star rating because I need to know what’s in my food otherwise I become miserable.
This may be the one off store of kind of quality youd want for yourself or loved ones. Very clean and friendly.
Excellent meats and fish. Nice store smaller than the average Trader Joes. Good pastries and good deli with some good previously prepared meals.
Good choice meat. Great sandwiches!
I lived in Rancho SD, and occasionally went to the store as it is very nice and clean, attractive, has some specialty items other stores do not have, great quality, and higher prices because of higher end products on the shelves.On this latest visit, after having moved from the area @ 5 yrs. prior, I Ordered a sandwich from the deli for the first time in years. A California one with turkey, bacon bits, avocado and sprouts. I didnt know their sandwich making went by the lb., now. The lady held-up a large handful of ingredients each time she was ready to pile it on the sandwich and asked okay?. I said sure not realizing the price was going up each time an ingredient was added. By the time it was all assembled, it was the largest sandwich I ever saw. It came to $9.99. it was delicious, but I could only eat a third of it. Sandwiches with mayo dont save for long before the bread gets soggy. (Sourdough). So I had to just throw the rest away. Next time I will be all the wiser and only get half of what I did at that visit. LolI do love this store, however. Nice people, too.
The market is a nice little upscale hometown place with a nice selection of meats, wine and vegies. From Kobe beef to lobster tail, everything is fresh and clean. A mistake was made on my bill, but was quickly corrected with no questions.
If Im looking for a specific/random product I can always find it here. No joke. They have a crazy cheese that I needed for a low carb recipe. I was also able to purchase five pounds of brisket in a moments notice. (I think I got lucky because another butcher told me it would be a two day wait but still a win for Harvest Ranch Market.) I wish I could afford to shop here exclusively. I will always come here for special our high end products ☺
Great market with a high quality meat and seafood counter. Lots of organic options and fresh pre-made options that are great for simple lunch or dinner solutions. Highly recommend checking it out.
Love the meat and fresh produce there. Store is clean, staff helpful and the Deli is great. Their wine selections are varied. They have weekly featured wine tastings.
Someone purchased $65 worth of product here with a fake debit card under my husbands name and our account. They didnt ID as they should have on purchased over $50. Thank God my bank recognized the fraud and called us.
Love this place
Love the selection of everything!
They have a great beer and wine selection, fresh meat and fruit, and a deli that makes good sandwiches. Only down fall is its on the pricey side. Even still, I always stop by when Im in the area to at least grab their signature chips!
Harvest Ranch is a great market if you want the best meats and produce!!!!
Local grocery story and butcher. The butcher and meat cabinet are the real reason to shop here. When we are in San Diego, this is our go to spot for great meat for those family BBQs. Large selection of cuts and seasoned ready to grill meats.
This place is more expensive than a typical grocery store, so I dont do my actual shopping here. I go here for food that I as already prepared and ready for me to cook or for items from their deli. Sometimes I just drive through the parking lot on the weekend to smell the tritip on the grill. They need to bring back the sandwich punch cards.
I come here to purchase meats especially the steak for carne asada. So good! Occasionally, Ill buy some baked goods which are delicious. Overall, friendly staff and good quality food.
Great speciality foods and wines. Parking is the worst in East County. Just due to that I wouldnt go.
Great deli bar and pre-cooked items... Desserts, salads, potatoes, Chicken, ribs, Prime Rib, and cant forget to mention their turkey during the holidays... aMaZiNg!! Many choices in their fresh meat counter and nice selection of grocery items and wine too.
This may be the one off store of kind of quality youd want for yourself or loved ones. Very clean and friendly.
Their salads and their Deli are excellent and their meat is the best
Love Harvest Ranch. Selection is plentiful and the customer service is the best!
Yummy food and nice selection of wines.
They have a good selection of quality items. I would go there more often, but most of the items are over priced.
This is not a place to eat, but a dumpster. Be aware stay away. . Bad food and bad customer service. I’m sorry there is no less than one star.
Clean & upscale. Nice, helpfull staff.
Sometimes good products for a reasonable prices another time bad products.
Best prime meats and healthy food. As for customer sevice, the absolute best. That has been true for atleast 20 years.
Small grocery store but great wine selection. The wine tasting nights here are a lot of fun.
I havent been there for years and was surprised to see how inflated the prices were on everyday items.
Products are great but you pay for it. No values here but you are paying for the quality. Parking can be tough sometimes.
Excellent variety of gourmet food items, wonderful selection of wines, fresh meats, deli and unusual selections of fresh fruits and vegetables.
This place has the best carne asada I ever had the meat is just so tender when you cook it its unbelievable its a little pricey but well worth the money Harvest is located in El Cajon California
Market is nice overall. However, came in to try the deli and it was very unfortunate that employees had no knowledge of the products they were selling. Simple questions were difficult for them to answer.
Me and my Best friend go here for sandwiches . soo good. Like this is who sprouts is trying to be.
The help was rude, the veggies had flies. I guess thats okay if youre in a third world country.
Clean store. This butcher/grocer has hard to find items or consider it as speciality items. Incredibly awesome meat market. Pricey ($$$) BUT well worth the special occasion treat. Not a regular grocery. Do not compare this grocer to Vons, Walmart, Albertsons type stores; much more high end. Unique cheeses, meats, bakery, wonderful fruits and veggies and some canned items. I consider this my monthly special treat meal.
A little pricey but good for wine tasting and meats and cheeses!
I dont care how rich I am, I. Not paying $7.99 for Halo Top. TF
Great selection of prepared food as well as quality butcher shop.
Super clean and friendly
Great food choices and variety. Been a long time customer for 9 years.
Great service. Enjoyable experience
My first time in the market. Very impressive.
Perfect
Great place to buy prime steaks
Its great for those special occasion treats!
The best fresh squeezed orange juice and BLT s anywhere, even if a bit pricey.
Very very expensive market. I was going to buy a piece of cheese and bread and it rang up almost $30. I walked out.
They had a very good selection of food it was very good selection of steaks
