Since Raley's bought Basha's the website never works, prices that I can see online are outrageously high, there is no Basha's curbside pick-up, and I won't use the more expensive service they use instead. The last time I tried to shop there 2 years ago, there were still not enough handicapped scooters and no one available to unplug them for the disabled customers. I used to shop there all the time and used their pharmacy as well. Not anymore. I'll drive 5 miles further to Walmart. read more

If you want to shop at a store that is dirty, has rude sloppy employees, has out dated items in the deli and meat department and has prices higher than any other store in the area Basha's is the store for you. I have a feeling that most of your customers are paying for their groceries with EBT cards so price makes no difference to them, I've paid for their groceries. Just hoping you'll close so a decent store can come in. read more

I have shopped at Basha's, since 2003. it is not the same store it once was. It consistently has empty shelves. this is not a motivated work force....constantly am told there is not enough staff and those here are not highly motivated. I take advantage of digital deals, etc. Recnetly had 30% off Taylor lettuce. After asking for some help, I wastole by the produce guy that they don't sell Taylor salad...just Fresh Express? Who doesn't know this? Why would I have Taylor. Come on people. read more

First not the cleanest . Prices are sky high gouging. Boarshead cold cuts gone. I've seen it for quite some time gone from good to fair. Now it's poor to poor minus . I go in a pinch for a quick trip and watch everything I buy on sale only but also how long it's been sitting there. They should have opened the Fry's down the road !!!!! read more

Riggs & Alma School. Very few human workers. Need more humans and less of the self check out lines. There are many, many senior citizens in this particular location that don't want to use the self check out lines, they need the human support. They have a hard time bagging their own groceries, as well as getting the groceries into their vehicle. We need more human support. Please hire more people to help our senior citizens. read more

First of all, I don't live in California, I live in Pinal County. I've lived in this area for 20 years. Often their items are 30% more expensive than other stores for same brands. This is shocking to me and I think, inexcusable. Basha's has a very dismal & very limited selection of organic produce and what they do have is Extremely expensive and often of poor quality, and improperly displayed, for example a 3 pound bag of organic potatoes was in the produce section and getting frequently sprayed with water by the automatic mister. How stupid is THAT?! Wilted broccoli and red chard, won't buy these EVER. They discontinued many things I regularly bought like higher quality organic yogurt with functional amounts of actual probiotics, and while there I would purchase some other things I needed. They sell zeroHEALTHY goods in bulk bins now...NOTHING but unhealthy snack items I never ever eat. So I just gave up entirely on this store after it was acquired by Raley's a few years ago and now I have to drive an extra 10 to 30 minutes to get good quality organic produce and other organic items at either Walmart, Natural Grocer's or Trader Joe's. It's kind of pathetic that even Walmart would have better quality items than this grocery store - though of course Walmart would be less expensive, it's not all about the price point. ..... I think mostly the people who shop at this Bashas are elderly wealthy people from nearby Saddlebrooke, who apparently don't care about the price or the quality, they just want the convenience. Well good for them, I guess, but I'm glad I'm not that dumb or lazy. read more

Today is Memorial Day and Basha's/Catalina had a continuous public service announcement which thanked the honor of our military heroes. I am an Air Force veteran and was wearing an Air Force blue shirt with a 4"X6" gold lettered logo across the front saying U. S. Air Force Veteran. I served four years during war time. Too bad tha management does not heed the patriotic message they are broadcasting. Neither the cashier who checked me out acknowledged my service to our county, nor did the customer service presentative who refunded my payment for the two items for which I was overcharged. Enough said for Basha's so called patriotism. read more

Very clean and well stocked store. We arrived late one evening and staff was still pleasant and helpful. They have just about everything that you could ask for. Prices were not inexpensive, but that's to be expected in your nicer stores that offer more services. You could actually find staff to help and ask questions and they were courteous and helpful. They do a good job. read more

Ordered a pizza with ham and pineapple. Came overdone with very small amount of pineapple or ham. No toppings within 3" of the rim. My piece (1/8 of large pizza) had 2 pieces of ham and 3 tidbits of pineapple! Will not go back. read more

This Bashas has everything from fresh bread, donuts, it's own lunch court, made to order oven brick pizzas, fresh produce, flowers, and even a Starbucks. read more

Bashas' - a grocery aisle with a variety of items - Grocery Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

... Yipes... Went to Bashas' to buy a couple donuts... they went up from $.99 a piece to $1.39..... that's a big jump in a very short period of time. UGG I hate inflation. On the plus side they do have good and reasonably priced breakfast burritos and pizza. read more

Since Bashas family sold out to another company this store has been terrible. Every sale item has a bare shelf out of stock as a rule. The prices are ridiculous. $5 for a gallon of milk I can get for $3.29 at Frys. $12 for a dozen eggs I can get for $6+ at Frys. Cost of ground beef went from $2.79 a pound to $3.99. There is no justification for these massive increases in price withing a few days or weeks but greed. There is never enough cashiers during busy times so you have to wait in long lines to pay exorbitant prices. read more

I was at the Catalina store.looking at the bread in the bakery and Joan, the deli lead asked if I needed help finding something. I told her I was looking for something comparable to the La Brea French bread. She told me it had just come out and left the area she was working in to go back and grab a loaf and slice it for me. Awesome customer service. Thank you, Joan! read more

Under previous owners the store was generally pretty good quality and pricing. In my opinion it is not the same under Raleys. I have found pricing generally is higher than grocery markets that compete locally. The quality and selection in meat/seafood categories needs improvement e.g., chicken breasts on sale are higher than the competition and only frozen breasts are available. Seafood selection is usually frozen shrimp, cod and maybe another fish. I don't expect the store to consistently exceed the competition either in pricing or selection, but I do expect it to be reasonably competitive, which in my opinion it is not presently. I have moved on to the competition. read more

I worked in Marketing/Consultation for most of my life. I believe what keeps people coming to a store is great customer service. There is awesome people working in all the departments. I wanted to acknowledge how great they are! Cashiers are: Kathy, Sonya, Tonya, Joelle, Jose, Gina. In the pharmacy: Shana, Liz, Tyler and Steven. At Starbucks: Fred, Paige and Shayna. Dallas in management is a truly great guy! There are many more that I might not remember. What keeps me coming there is this great group of people. KEEP up your outstanding customer service, you are all and asset to Basha's. You have a customer that is thankful for all of you! I am from Catalina, Arizona not San Francisco. read more

So nice when you go into a place frequently and the cashier knows your name, is very efficient and takes the time to make sure your shopping experience is a good one. Every time I go into Bashas in Catalina, I always look for Nate's line because he is that type of employee. There are times when I have gone in there and he's not at a register but helping other cashiers and customers get their groceries bagged. Thank you Nate! read more

An update to my prior review. Vast improvement, Raley's must be getting their feet under them after acquisition of Bashas. It's starting to feel more like the old store management. Stock is returning, the employees are more suited to their new management. Still love our little local market! Best meat dept around! Thank you Bashas! read more

The deli here rules- there's chicken wings, and soups to go, and all kinds of a build your own salad bar. The sushi is made on sight and they often offer up free samples. They make awesome pizza there, and all kinds of baked goods. They have lots of self-check stations if you use those so there is never a long wait to get out even when lines are full. There is a Chinese food lunch place and a Starbucks as well- one stop shopping! Oh and they have groceries, too! read more

Absolutely grateful to live near this grocery store. The hot food is always great, the cakes are good, great wine selection and the best sales. I even like their nursery section read more

I like this store! We just moved here from Portland and had grown accustomed to paying "Whole Foods " pricing in every grocery store. Bashas is reasonably priced (their customer rewards program is VERY good), the store is beautiful and clean, the service has been good, the location is excellent, the meat and produce has been fresh and the bakery has some tasty treats. Winner, winner. Granted, they may not be as cheap as Walmart. But, I hate giving my hard earned moolah to Walmart. I'd rather pay a few cents extra and help local businesses. Did I mention the bakery? Yum! read more

Basha's Catalina feels like entering something that's about to fall down. What a poorly run feeble minded attempt at propping up something that's teetering and threatening flatten. With a nearly captive geo-specific consumer base and being the only good sized and fairly well stocked market in the area maybe they've just kind of relaxed standards. The checkout lines are like being in crowded airport check lines and the mundane nearly comatose staff members (they know who they are) contrast greatly by the few up beat and busy ones that are the ONLY saving grace in the place. The Deli does a good job (Amazing it's under the same roof), however and the bakery does the best marble rye probably in the Western US! Still, it's not enough. When the customers are herded through points of sale like slowly shoveled gravel there's a problem. The electronic check outs are usually malfunctioning, people are fidgeting, and the overall experience is BAD NEWS. For such a NAME in the area as Bashas' has is it still a good one? read more

Be careful at bashas if there is water on the floor and you fall and hurt yourself they will call an ambulance but when you ask them to pay the bills you incurred because of their neglect they tell you it wasn't their fault and then you get stuck with the bills and very rude personnel NEVER going back read more

When I first moved to Catalina, AZ, Bashas was a busy and lively store and had a really good manager. I had fun shopping there. But ever since Covid and a change in managers, the store has gone downhill. Empty shelves everywhere and especially in the frozen section many popular frozen dinners and breakfast items are just not being replenished so the selection has gone way down. I used to buy my dog's the Cesar wet food tubs there and they offer maybe 15 or 20 varieties in other stores. But at Bashas for weeks they had none! When they finally got some new ones in they only had 2 varieties. This is just one example of how bad it is. Another big problem is that whatever they advertise in their weekly flyer isn't available or if it is, it's not at the sale price. For example, a beer was on sale so I went there and it was at their regular price of $18.99/12 pack. Which brings me to the next problem. I know prices have gone up everywhere but the way they have jacked up the prices at Bashas will have anyone running away. It's such a shame!!! Whoever the new manager is, and the person overseeing the frozen sections and the dog food need to step up. I'm all in favor for supporting local stores but they've literally driven me away so now I shop at Walmart and I get free delivery and their selection is good! I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who has started shopping elsewhere. The last time I shopped at Bashas I left the store frustrated and ticked off. Not only that, I was there at 5pm and there were only a few shoppers there, unlike before where the sore was super busy. I have stopped looking at their flyer because it's not reliable anymore. I feel sorry for the employees who have been there for many years because they probably get an ear full from many disgruntled shoppers. They don't deserve that because they are great! It's either the upper management and/or the local management that is failing our community. It's our only grocery store here and it could be doing so well with better management! I'm really sorry to see it go down like this! read more

Basha's in Catalina for its size offers a good selection of products and services from early morning until late at night.

If you enjoy digging around on almost bare shelves for common items that will not be in stock, this is the store for you! This grocery store is struggling and it shows. From poor supply chains to limited staff they are dropping the ball. Do yourselves a favor, Oro Valley and just drive on by. They do have a good booze selection, and you might want to grab some after your sure to be frustrating shopping experience here. read more

If you live near Catalina, Basha's is the only store to support the local area. Having said that, this store perhaps needs some good old fashioned competition to up their game. I increasingly find myself taking the extra time to drive further south. However, another store has promised to build, yet after years has never done so. Basha's gets props for showing up. read more

Overall, IMO a poorly managed store that lacks in presentation and quality. In particular, meat quality can often be absolutely horrible. Will only buy meat here if absolutely necessary due to time and convenience, then only ground sirloin or some high quality brand pre-packaged selections. Chicken purchased two days ago was probably a 10 year old rooster .... worst we' can remember ever eaten ... tough as a bad steak, however, the dogs liked it. Steaks purchased a few weeks ago were full of grizzle and tough as cowhide. Another chicken purchase revealed large amounts of fat - at least 3 or four ounces with just over a pound of breast meat. Fat was hidden underneath the meat. So....Bashas is selling chicken fat at chicken prices? Topping it off. the grumpy counter guy (you know who he is) at the meat/seafood counter always seems morose. If he's working, I will not ask for anything at that counter...it's that unpleasant. No greeting...no service questions, no thank you's, you're welcomes or have a nice day...maybe an unfriendly grunt at best. Recommend shopping here only if you have select items which you trust and/or it's convenient because you're in a hurry. read more

Pharmacy This Basha's has one of the worst pharmacists I've ever worked with. He was rude to a man who asked a question about the directions on his medication. He told the man to contact the doctor when the patient had a pak of pills that had instructions on them. The doctor's instructions were to take them as directed on the package but the lazy pharmacist couldn't even tell the patient that. Super rude! read more

They don't enforce their face mask policy, nor do they adequately sanitize their carts. I've called about both. The person I spoke to about the carts argued that they are sanitized even though I reported seeing with my own eyes a Bashas employee return them to the customer pickup area without sanitizing them. Regarding the non-enforcement of the mask policy, I was told that Bashas wasn't legally allowed to enforce it because they aren't a national chain. Don't know if that's true, can't find it anywhere. But I suspect that if you can say "No shirt, no shoes, no service" you can do the same thing with masks. I will take my business to stores who require masks and sanitize their carts. read more

I love Bashas'. I just wonder if their staff is getting enough sleep. I found a cranky cashier today. They didn't like my process for checking out. I normally use the self check out, but the re-usable bag issue always slows me down. "Are you using you own bags today?" Yes. Then one falls off, issue to be solved by the attendant. Time! Just an issue. Then I hit upon a new idea! I would bag my stuff up early, into the bags "I" want the groceries in. So I leave the "cold/freezer bag empty, and hand that over first. The cashier just has to take it out of the bag, the food is in, then place it into the freezer bag. The bag they just emptied is for the next batch, say fruits & vegetables. That bag gets emptied for the next items, canned goods... and so on. I leave with one empty bag. Most cashiers say they approve of my process. Today, the cashier I had, did not. "It would be easier if you took the items out of the bags! I don't bag the groceries." I was more than happy to bag my own groceries. They were sorta sour today. read more

Great location if you want to be verbally abused for a mistake that inconveniences you more than anyone else instead of an apology. Self checkout cashier neither apologised nor attempted to explain or understand just kept pushing the person until they cried and then walked away. This is why I only come here to use the Wells Fargo ATM and go all the way to Wallmart or Fry's when i need grocery, because because they're only nice in a way people over 50 would think so and only people in that age range could afford it. If you're an out of towner heading to Oracle for the state park or the zipline, don't shop here. An extra couple of minutes of driving with your food is more than worth it. read more

Stop putting your chicken wings out at 7am there all dried up by noon . Pizza is good and a great price

I love our Bashas'. Nice friendly market that caters to our small town. Good prices, friendly folks, what more could one ask?? The store is well laid out, and while it cannot offer the wide variety some huge grocery stores do, Bashas' does a good job of offering quality food and a well thought out variety. I would shop at our Bashas' even if I had to travel out of my way. Nice that it is only a few miles away!! read more

The managers current & past & staff are amazing, but it's very sad we can no longer find name brands. So much "Food Club" brands. Deli salads have really gone downhill. BUT 5 stars to Troy, Garnet & Cindy. We love you! read more

Seriously, I ordered a pizza from home, and was told it would be ready in 1hr. - 1hr 15 min. I arrived in 50 minutes to find no customers near counter, an empty pizza oven in sight and no one behind the counter. The girl from the deli asked to help, then went to get another girl from around the corner. She said I would have to wait ten more minutes BEFORE she could START MAKING THE PIZZA because I was told it would be ready later. Absurd response! Upset, and hungry, I told her she should start making it now. She said it doesn't have to be ready until the time I was told. Manager on duty was no help. To him, I was wrong and he was right, besides that, I was rude. Now, I know rudeness is hard to deal with, but neither made any apology or seemed to care. They were right and I was wrong. A customer may be wrong, but does anyone really tell them that and think to have no consequences? A more satisfactory response when I first came to the counter, in my mind, would have been something like: Oh, you are a little early. Let me get that started for you right away. I would wait, and really expected to. I left as just another lost customer to this business and don't think or feel they even care. I'm done. read more
