I come here a LOT since I live nearby. Their sushi chefs are awesome and the sushi and poke is really good for being from a grocery store. Their Starbucks makes proper good drinks and the partners are always professional. The cashiers have always been cordial, too. The other day I absentmindedly left something of value behind at the self-checkout and didn't realize it until I was out of town. I called them and they were like, "Yeah, we have it." I was amazed because it was something that could have easily been stolen. I showed up later to pick it up and they were so nice. I have nothing but good things to say about this store. read more

I came here to grab some snacks, and they have some great discounts. They have a good variety of yogurt and candy. And it happened to be $5 Friday, too! Very good service from the cashier. read more

This Albertsons has a small section in the corner of the store in produce that's dedicated to the vegetarian and vegan foods. They also have a section in the freezers across from the cheese. We've also found Beyond patties and sausages here near the meat. Other than that it's hit or miss on the vegan options. The prices are significantly higher than at the other local stores but checkout is a little faster. The staff here is friendly and will go out of their way to help you. There's plenty of parking in their large parking lot. read more

Albertsons - Grocery Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

I had a horrible experience in this location on March 16, 2020. The cashier Jessica was extremely rude and lacked customer service skills. In my opinion, Jessica is a risk to Albertsons and should not be employed within the Albertsons organization or any organization directly servicing customers. Albertsons, please do better job in your hiring/selection process. Hiring people that want to work and represent the organization well is a great way to start. Also, this location should have signs posted for quantity limitations on products especially during a national COVID-19 emergency...customers should not find out the limit on particular items as they are in the middle of checking out. Customers shop on the aisles not at the checkout register. Quantity limitation signs should be posted on/near the product. read more

Albertsons - Cleaning product aisle (during a national COVID-19 emergency) with no signs posted for quantity limitations. - Grocery Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

The young men that work the register at night are not nice. They have no customer welcoming skills. Sometimes I don't even know why I come to this place. Ugh! read more

Excellent Condition, cleanliness, fully stocked, friendly staff and John McDunna is the kindest store manager I've ever met.

Out of all the grocery stores in Ridgecrest, (which surprisingly is 3) I prefer to do a majority of my shopping here. I actually didn't realize this location existed but compared to the other location on Norma, this one beats it out of the water. The lighting in this store is much brighter and bigger in size. Which also hold a lot more items. Compared to the other location, this one seems to have more produce and slightly more organic items. The staff here are fairly nice, but I have noticed the Norma location seems to be a bit more interactive with the customers by asking if we need help finding something. While growing up in SoCal, my family never shopped at A because it was more expensive compared to the other stores and out of the way, but its definitely worth it during the fall when they have the Cuisinart stamp reward! Earlier this week, I made a shrimp dish and was looking to get fresh shrimp but to my surprise, some of the shrimp sitting out was previously frozen (as stated) and was so confused...but I guess it's not going to be the freshest, seeing where were at. Whenever my hubs and I feel lazy, we'll get the 8 piece dark meat chicken thighs and legs for 6.99. In my opinion, the chicken here is a hell of a lot better than what KFC has to offer. But with that being said, sometimes the chicken definitely taste a day or two old. This store has pretty much your basic food needs and has a Starbucks located inside, along with a couple Red Box outside. This store is normally clean and usually has more of the items stocked (depending on when you come). read more

Ha! I've been badged a duchess of Albertsons. I'm think I'm a little ashamed. The long story short - I prefer this over the Norma Street location because 1) my groceries are bagged and handled more carefully 2) they have the rotisserie chicken ready to serve (for nights when cooking is NOT an option) and 3) I can pump gas right after. Their downfall is that they don't keep a steady supply of my favorite: Emerald Sweet & Salty Mixed Nuts with glazed walnuts. Call me crazy, but these are excellent as toppings to a salad - AND my brother can knock out the whole can in one sitting. If I could, I would buy these in bulk. Overall, this place is maintained well, is generally clean and my mom loves their floral section. She cleans them out when they mark down the bunches. At under $5 a bunch, that's not bad at all. read more

Always an unpleasant experience. Either indifferent rudeness from an employee or our "club" card nor phone number works to get the better price. You have none of that at Walmart or Staters where their items are 50 cents each or 50 cents per lb cheaper. Why bother with Albertson's? read more

I love their deli department. The girls are always so helpful even when you're placing a big order. Their selection of organic produce keeps growing and their prices are not too bad. Their floral department is wonderful. You can get a bouquet of fresh roses for $12. Overall their prices are slightly higher than stater bros. read more

I'm giving it four stars for the employees. I haven't had any real issues with employees being rude they are all wonderful. Best store here. Missing my Vons and house delivery! This would be especially great here since the temperature gets so high your cold items would stay cold until they reached your house! They only issue is pricing. I looked at a big jar of peanut butter 9.99 I got two for 11.99 from costco 2 day delivery. I'm not a fan of Walmart because of they way they treat their employees and they were one of the first stores to deal with China. We've made China rich! Their employees jump out windows to commit suicide! They are slaves and we support that industry. read more

The GOOD: Employees are very friendly. I had catering done from here once for a very large event of 300 people on base, and it was a very smooth experience. Produce is good to go usually. THE YUCK: Today, returned from a shopping trip with two basic things I needed: fresh shrimp, and fresh chicken thighs. Purchased some other veggies as well. Background: I'm a marine biologist by trade, and a lifelong fisherman. The shrimp was unfit to be used as bait. Slimy, with an off-odor, and many bacterial colonies. I will be staying away from Thai farmed shrimp... forever. So.. at least I had chicken. I couldn't smell it through the packaging, but if I had, I would have gone somewhere else. In a hurry. Cooked a small piece with no seasoning for my cats. They wouldn't touch it, and I definitely had my answer. They are NOT picky eaters. The scary thing was, the label says sell by Christmas, which is 3 days away... *****1 trip. Seafood not fit for bait. Poultry not fit for cat food.***** No foreseeable trips in the future. read more

I go here all the time, but since the remodel, I have been receiving service above and beyond! Everyone takes time to complain, but this time it is time to stop and say thank you. First incident was a bag of chips that was supposed to be on sale, and I was charged full price :( when I went in and said something about it, the night manager made it right and pulled a bag so she could correct the price. Then today I was standing in line with only three items, and it's Sunday morning and some wise woman came and got there weeks worth of groceries before it gets busy.. And there I stand behind all these baskets of groceries. I heard the cashier call out " 3 is a crowd" ( wish staters would take notes!!) then to my surprise 30 seconds later, Dennis the store manager shows up to speed me up and get me out the door! THANK YOU!! Great customer service from the top down! Keep up the good work. read more

Alright! I just ordered Starbucks cold brew with sf vanilla, sugar free cinnamon dulce with heavy cream and extra shot of espresso! Nikki the Barista was very helpful and gladly made my coffee . I told her the other Starbucks in town declined to make exact the same coffee... thanks a lot to you Nikki you are the asset of the Starbucks family!!! read more

This store is great. I generally won't do my shopping at Albertsons since they're typically overpriced, but this particular store has a great deli and alcohol selection. The alcohol is priced high unless you buy in qualities of SIX. I've never drank SIX of the same thing in my entire life, so this marketing strategy isn't working for me. Today, I ran through the store, picked up some decently priced items and lunch. Their lunch special is AWESOME. If this was an eatery, I would have given FIVE STARS. For $5.49 you get to pick the items you want. A main item and 2 generous sides. I had sliced tri-tip with waldorf and broccoli salads. Delicious! They also have a nice selection of cakes and single serving birthday cake slices. Another nice thing about this location is that they have a Starbucks inside. read more

Ok place. Me and my family were disappointed that we rushed to the store to get Starbucks and it had just closed at 4pm (we arrived at 4:03) and we were told we couldn't be served. So that kinda sucked. Yeah we were past closing but come on... 3 minutes? The line was kind of long and took a long time. It seemed like they didn't have enough registers open. Oh well. I'm only out there once a year. read more

Poor customer service. Had my prescriptions from ER since noon & were not ready at 7pm. Never going there again. Now I don't have my meds until tomorrow. Unacceptable. read more

Really wish the tall blonde lady was there still. She was always happy to help. She would even go out of her way to make sure I got exactly what I needed. Not sure why she was replaced, but the newer ladies are rude and won't listen to my needs read more

I live about a mile or less. I usually shop Staters but I'm getting to rely like Albertsons. They have the most friendly staff at the pharmacy and they always get my RX perfect. So I would like to give three cheers to Laura, Melody, Heathe, and all the awesome desk clerks I love you meat department today"Kurt" went over and beyond to assist me and took the time to go back at cut my steak for me and my husband because it wa Just to thick to put in myGeorge Foreman love your store read more

Didn't know Albertson's had it in them! Fabulous organic section!! Huge selection! Better than a lot of places in big cities. Surprised and impressed!! And the produce was fresh! read more

The employees here definitely stole my heart!! I had the awesome opportunity to work with them last week and they are definitely some gems! The produce has so many options I could hardly believe it (I know because I had to make signwork for them all - talk about never ending!) and their floral department had a lot of variety for their customers! Starbucks was great and their employees were attentive and awesome! Loved every part of working here and would definitely shop here if I lived local!!! read more

The employees are great, and they always have good decorations and stands and discounts! Great place to come get your groceries :)

Under the new management, this Albertsons isn't what it used to be anymore. Many of the experienced employees have been let go, the focus on short lines and customer service is gone. The employees seem so rushed. Carryout service used to be automatic, now it's a hassle. Now if I want to see happy employees and not have to wait so long in line, I have to go to Stater Brothers. How times have changed. read more

Needed one thing at the deli. Took 15inutes....just to get help....I am not happy. Guess I should make a reservation like a restaurant. The least they could do is put in chairs. read more

Decent store. Nothing particularly unique or interesting about it, but it does the job and is probably the nicest one to shop at in Ridgecrest. Clean and well maintained. I do wish they carried more specialty foods though so I could try new things. read more

Love going to this store, Walmart is usually so over crowded and I just enjoy the people who work here so much more. Two of the most helpful employees I've had the pleasure of meeting are Kaira and Skye. They do amazing whenever I go through their lines and I'm always pleased with these two! read more

Better than are local Stater Brothers. Just go to Albertsons on the south side of town they got good gas prices. And I shouldnt forget that they do have a nice clean store! read more

Garbage not only describes the workers attitudes but quality of stock and restocking. By far the worst grocery store in town. Hopefully with the new Starbucks, Walmart and the older better Albertsons management may actually fix the store they threw so much money at. read more

This store is very pricey compared to Stater Brothers. I don't know how they stay in business. I only shop here for things I can't find at Stater's. The plus side is that they are never crowded!! read more

very friendly store and we love the convenience and remodel was terrific. i think the price of products is a littlr high, but i am willing to pay it because of the convenience. the one thing they need to fix: roasted chickens are undercooked and taste funny consistently. fried chicken and baked chicken is over cooked. the Albertsons on Norma do a MUCH better job cooking chicken. otherwise great ..... read more
