DON’T SHOP HERE!!! If you do anyway, be VERY CAREFUL. Substandard food. Expired food. Won’t honor advertised pricing. Ownership thinks they are better than the general public.

If you like variety, they always have different items and some of them are off brands that are such good quality. Great finds!

I love this place. They always have the basics plus wonderful deals . Every week is different. This week I bought meat and cheese snack packs for 50 cents. The employees are always friendly and the store is very clean.

Found out that many good items will disappear from their shelves and you will never see them again, that was disappointing. My problem is that I forgot that this is an outlet store!

They have such great stuff at great prices plus they are cleaning everything for Covid. Since I had my own bags I bagged my own stuff and the clerk wiped everything down before the next customer. A+++++

I have a love-hate relationship with this store. I love the garage sale feel I love searching through in finding a Bonafide bargain I love seeing different things when I go in. I love the cleanliness of the store. I hate the line to check out I hate how much time I spend waiting to check out and I also hate the price tags that beat you into thinking the value of the item is much higher than it actually is. For example I saw a box of Publix brand macaroni and cheese for 99 cents available Elsewhere for a dollar 99 is what the price tag said. I called the Buddy who works at a Publix in Florida and I found out the everyday price at Publix is $0.79. In other words the price tags RBS do not ever look at the available elsewhere price that is a lie it is a dirty tactic and I despise Grocery Outlet for it. Long story short its a clean grocery store they dont sell expired Goods everything there is good if you see something you like jump on it its not going to be there the next time its exciting its fun dont believe what the price tags tell you

Excellent mask adherence. I saw one customer without a mask and clerk went right over and politely asked him to wear his mask. In my opinion this is a safe place to shop.

Very unique grocery store. Has organic and regular menu items with very good pricing. Good selection of domestic and import wines. Small spirit display but all pricing is dollar savings. Go in with an open mind from your regular experiences, come out with a basket of goodies. Great prices on snack s too.

Greate local store, but be careful to check expiration date. It may be a few days in the future, which is strange for example for neosporine cream...

Grocery Outlet is the best. I really appreciate that I find great bargains on well known products, and sometimes, even a sale! Theres all kinds of groceries, produce, meats, beauty products, electronics, kitchen utensils and other items, wines, even stuff Ive never seen on regular supermarkets.You ought to shop the Grocery Outlet first.The staff is awesome,

Very good off brand value..... a different grocery adventure for someone who likes good quality meat, produce, pharmacy items, wines (BIG selection with the best prices Ive ever seen), coffee, paper goods.....really, anything youll find at major stores, simply with fewer labels to choose from (EXCEPT WINES!!! YEAH!!!!!!)

You walk into this place expecting banged up boxes and junkie merchandise, but end up being incredibly surprised. This place has a bit of everything! Because its filled with overstock from other retail establishments, the product may change day to day or week to week. I would recommend shopping there first and then picking up what they dont have st your regular store. Fresh produce, frozen foods, exotic cheeses. Its really fun just to see what they have. And the prices! So much better than traditional stores, even wall mart. They have pops, bottled water, milk, greeting cards, fresh flowers, health/beauty, toys, socks, cookware, beer. I would really recommend just looking at the store and see for yourself. Great business idea.

Great to stop here first before heading to your regular supermarket. Youll always find great name brand products, inventory changes all the time. Its kinda fun, you never know what youll find. Tons of organic options too, which surprised me.

Wish I had more time in this wonderful store. The prices really impressed me and the associates were so kind and helpful. The store was spotless and the fruits and veggies were beautiful! That is what I look for in a food market. These are the values that will keep me going back. AND..... THE MUSIC WAS BRILLIANT! That right there, these factors is exactly what makes a pleasurable experience with each visit.

I Love Grocery Outlet. This store is always immaculate. They always have a nice selection of organic foods at a affordable price. The owners lead by example, you will find them cleaning, stocking shelves and helping their staff. Customer service is top notch!

Review №49

Great prices and staff. They are not your normal grocery chain that has everything under the sun and then some. They do have a limited selection in comparison but they have all the staple food items regularly and other items cycle. The prices really cant be beat when you will get major brand items, large packages at unreadable reduced prices. My last visit was 35$ filling five bags of food. At a normal store that is one or two bags at best. I suggest give them a try, shop here first and take advantage of the reduced costs. Then stop by a normal store to get any specially items that you were unable to find here. You will still drop your grocery bill significantly. The staff have been polite and helpful to me and any others that I have seen getting assistance.

Review №52

Dont expect to always find the same items you are accustomed to buying all the time which makes Grocery Outlet a rather pleasant experience at times when you come across an item you least expect to see and at reasonable prices at that. Nice atmosphere to go along with nice prices and delightful employees who smile all the time.

Im amazed at the vegan products they have. Some how they get things that I dont see at Sprouts or Mothers and of course they have a good price too.

New store has great deals on groceries and some housewares. National brands mostly but they seem to specialize in discontinued or out of season varieties and packaging of national brands. The products available vary week to week. Check sale flyer for their best weekly specials. They take credit and debit cards. Free parking is adequate. They dont take manufacturer coupons but no membership or club cards required.

Review №55

I love shopping here! The owner/operators and staff are always working hard to make sure the store is well stocked and clean. There is always a wide variety of new items and such great deals. I also think that there produce is as good as any grocery store around at much better prices. They will have a long time customer right here and I recommend the Grocery Outlets to all my friends.

I have been shopping at Grocery Outlet and always been very happy but they have changed owners and I went in today and was very disappointed. I was buying many groceries and in my groceries was a turkey. The turkey was clearly marked 15.87 but i was charged 19.99. When i pointed out the error i was told they tried to cross out the 15.87 but had some new people working and they missed it, all the turkeys were marked 15. I spoke with one of the owners but she was very clear we would pay 19.99. I asked her how when all the turkeys were marked $15. She could charge me 19.99. My friend who was shopping with me was having the same conversation in the next check out and she told both of us we would pay the 19.99. So sad I will not be back.

It is unacceptable walking in trying to shop for your family seeing/hearing employees on the verge of tears being SCREAMED at in front of other customers by what looked like a supervisor . Although Im not sure who would ever a higher up position to someone who cant even show respect to their employees . There are other ways of communicating rather than yelling at someone in front of people trying to shop. It makes customers not want to shop there, and just shows poor management skills.

Customer service officially died at this location. The manager/owner Joel, is the one who destroyed it.This human being accused my wife of using counterfeit bills, which she had just gotten from the bank. She had to go back to the bank deposit the 20s back onto her card. Shockingly, they bank took them just fine!? Apparently, Joel has some super secret counterfeit bill checker the banks have not been able to get yet.After my wife came back and told Joel what happened, he actually had the audacity to say to my wife and I quote do you want to shop here anymore after he put her through all that.This person has noooo business being in customer service.I guess grocery outlet is just desperate for people who are willing to pay the ownership fees.I reached out to the company, but they did not really care.. though they acted shockedThis company is garbage, they are just so cheap no one cares lolHow did it end? He threw my petite wife out of the store and told her never to come back

I try and go at least 2-3 times a week. They are always getting new deals in. They are mostly unadvertised, so try to walk all the aisles. My last visit a I had a $3 off $10 coupon and filled up 2 bags. Grand total $9.10. savings was 44.93. Staff is very nice and helpful.

I love shopping here, but dont plan on going here with a shopping list and expect to get everything. They carry random items with great prices. I really enjoy all the organic and NOSH items...some great deals to be had on off market items. The produce section is small, but hopefully when we get into the summer months they will receive more items.

Review №74

A small store great for quick shopping trips. The produce and meat are good as long as you plan on using or freezing within a few days. Just pay close attention to expire/use by dates on everything. Lots of name brand items and some random items that have clearly been discontinued. Several checkout stands so the wait is always short.

If I could give less I would. I felt like I was in a Pet Store. There were 2 people shopping with their dogs. The dogs even were barking at each other. When ask the manager how can this happen he said that they dont ask people for there service dog card because itsagainst the law. This is a store with open produce too. Not everything is packaged.I myself have 2 dogs and today since there were only 73 degrees I had them with me and left them in the car with air going and open windows.

Review №78

My favorite new place to shop for groceries. Not very busy which is great when you are in a rush, but that will probably change once word gets out. This place is small, so not a ton of options but they have the essentials, and good prices on some great brands. They have some unique items you cant find in big name grocery stores. Great place to get snacks like beef jerky, assorted nuts, tim tams and ginger beer.

Review №80

This is my go to place for grocery essentials. It often has stellar prices, and prices to boot!One note - the selection is limited, once compared to a traditional grocery store - however the prices make up for this imbalance. I can typically get 80-85% of my groceries here for 35-45% less than the competition- and that translates into $50-60 a week.Highly recommend this place.
