Excellent customer service, Angelica at the deli was so kind and helpful. Will definitely come back!

What a great market! And their sandwich counter is The Best. You can create your own masterpiece or pick from over a dozen ideas they have listed. We were on a tour that ordered from Big John's. We liked it so much we came back again the following day to grab another sandwich to eat while we were wine tasting. The store is a full market plus a big selection of pre-made and To Go foods. And they have a great wine selection! Lots of great locals finds there. Mind you... they don't carry Everyone and Everything but they have a lot of the local wineries there at reasonable prices. If you need to put together snacks (aka fancy Chacuterie) for a party, this is the place to go. It's better than Whole Paycheck (Foods) IMO and the prices are better. If you are staying at a rental with a kitchen, definitely come here to stock up on meats, breads and produce. Highly recommend making a stop here! read more

Gorgeous market with huge selection of nice products! This Grocer was so nice! They have produce, meats, a huge wine and beer selection. We also wanted pasta and they have a large variety of high quality pasta. We went to a winery and we were recommended to come here from a local and it's definitely worth stopping by if you are staying in an Airbnb or a great place to find items for a charcuterie board or pretty picnic if you're doing one at the vineyard. We wished we had stopped by sooner in our trip! If comparing to LA grocers, this would be similar to Bristol Farms, but they had a wide variety of prices for their goods so that they had reasonably priced, nice items as well. We also saw cute stationary items in their gift wrap, gift bag and cards area. read more

SCW and I stopped into Big John's market after it was recommended from a wine tasting experience. The store itself is larger than it looks like from the outside. When you get inside you'll see the varieties of cheeses available which is extensive. A little further in they have a decent sized salad bar with fresh looking veggies and a few prepared salads. There is also a warm items bar in that area. The deli is large and gets quite busy during lunch time. They have a few curated sandwiches on the overhead board or you can make your own. Take a number first if they are busy and order when called. They are pretty quick as our sandwiches were ready in about 5 minutes. I had a giorgi park (vegetarian) sandwich which came as a panini with great flavors and fresh ingredients. SCW had the veggie sandwich which was also really tasty. They have a burrito and pizza line as well. I got a vegetarian super burrito bowl which you can customize. Similar process as chipotle style. Everything looked fresh vibrant. The wine selection is varied and has some appealing options. The middle portion of the store is similarly set up like most grocery stores, cans, waters, cleaning products etc. The produce section is nice with good variety as well. You can find tofu and fake meats near the produce section. The store is clean and well lit. They have tables outside if you choose to eat there. The employees are very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend giving Big John's Market a try. read more

We continue to stop at Big John's weekly and it's always a pleasant food shopping experience. It's a beautiful, clean, and well-stocked gourmet market. Locally owned - love that! Friendly team members. And the lines at check-out are never too crazy. Go for the outer aisles: cheeses, meats, deli, and fresh produce! We love their cheese section, which immediately greets you upon arrival. Need help? Just ask! Looking for local cheeses? They offer many! They have a mini Cousteau Bakery inside. Hot tip: get a coffee or tea at the bakery and enjoy it while you shop! The deli makes great sandwiches, and the pre-made items (chicken, salmon...) are tasty and easy for some protein in a pinch. In the meat section, my guy gets the Mary's organic chicken. We've also tried their hamburger patties. Thanks Big Johns for serving our community!!! read more

Big John's is a huge supermarket with everything you need in Sonoma, including a wide selection of wines and cheese. They had Alexander Valley, Twomey, and many other wines. I needed a wine bottle opener and ended up leaving with so much more than just the wine bottle opener! The cheese selection is amazing, you'll definitely find what you need and maybe you can try a new cheese! read more

Extremely disappointed with Big John's. My friend was a loyal, regular customer of this grocery store and had her vehicle towed after being parked in the parking lot for less than two hours. I completely understand that businesses need to have parking policies in place, but towing a customer's vehicle after such a short amount of time feels incredibly excessive, especially considering that she was a loyal customer who regularly supported the store. What is most disappointing is the lack of consideration shown to someone who had been a customer. There are certainly more reasonable ways to address a parking issue than immediately having someone's vehicle towed and leaving them with a costly bill. After this experience, I will personally think twice about supporting a business that treats its customers this way. I hope Big John's takes a closer look at how these situations are handled in the future. read more

More $ than Safeway, BUT almost always have what I need. Never wait much for a register. Awesome workers.

Great selection, friendly service, amazing meat counter. Aisles are a good size and it is well maintained. A great place to shop.

You can't go wrong here. Groceries takeout prepared food. It's got everything. I was invited to a barbecue/potluck and I forgot and at the last minute I ran to big John's and selected the lamb meatballs they were incredible. Everyone raved about them. Big John's saved the day! Thanks Big John Team read more

I freaking love this place! It's like a Disney Land gift shop for foodies. My first time was a trip to the deli where they have tons of tasty creations to choose from, quality meats and fancy fromage. The second visit I was feeling like a salad and paid visit to their salad bar. Here you'll find the traditional staples, salad choices and toppings abound. They've also put together several pasta salad options - too many to make a quick decision. My plans to have a salad of my own creation was derailed when I saw all the options in the hot bar behind me. Ham and cheese risotto patties, colorful steamed vegetables, roasted fingerling potatoes, fried chicken, jalapeño poppers, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and gravy, baby back ribs, battered fried cod, and chicken confit were just some of the items. They also have a soup station, a burrito bar and pizza option that I've yet to explore. The deli wait time was quick despite it being very busy and I've not yet had to wait in line to check out. If you're hungry but not sure what for, this is the best place to go where you're sure to find lots of great choices. Can't wait to go back! read more

Big John's Market - Hot bar, priced by weight. It was $25 even, and made two meals for me. - Bakeries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

If you are looking for the absolute best in Sonoma County for high-end foodstuffs, look no further. Big John's Market is essentially a pilgrimage site for anyone who takes their pantry seriously. The store is beautifully laid out and curated with an eye for quality that puts most 'gourmet' chains to shame. The produce is consistently stunning, and the local wine selection perfectly reflects the best of our backyard (Dry Creek, Alexander Valley, and beyond). The standouts: * The Deli/Prepared Goods: This is the heart of the operation. The sandwiches are legendary, the pizza is artisanal-grade, and the prepared salads are actually fresh and inventive--not just an afterthought. * The Cheese Section: Simply sublime. It is clear whoever curates this section has a deep passion for local creameries and international classics alike. * The Experience: Despite the high-end inventory, the staff is incredibly friendly and grounded. Plus, in a town like Healdsburg, having a lot with decent parking is a massive luxury that makes the trip even easier. Whether you're stocking up for a dinner party or just grabbing the best lunch in town, this place is the gold standard. read more

The bread was old. Not happy read more

Big John's Market - Not dubble meat.... - Bakeries Near Me - Healdsburg, California

It was a typical Sunday in St. Helena, and the aisles of Big John's Market were alive with the usual weekend bustle. I had a simple, perfect plan: grab a burrito from the taqueria, meet up with Gabriella to finish the grocery shopping, and enjoy your lunch while you walked. The transaction at the front register was quick. I paid for my burrito, the cashier nodded, and I took my warm, foil-wrapped lunch. In the rush of the moment--and as is common in a world moving toward digital records--I didn't ask for a paper receipt. I didn't think I needed a "permission slip" to eat something I already bought. I found Gabriella a few aisles over and took that first, satisfying bite. But the Sunday vibe shifted instantly. A store worker approached, eyes fixed on the burrito. "Did you pay for that?" he asked. "Yes," I replied clearly. "I just went to the register at the front and paid for it." I thought that would be the end of it, but within moments, the situation escalated. Two security guards appeared, flanking me and Gabriella, their presence creating a tense circle in the middle of the grocery aisle. The question came again, heavier this time: "Do you have a receipt for that?" "No," I told them, "I didn't ask the lady for one." The air felt thick with unearned suspicion. To prove my innocence, I turned and pointed toward the front of the store, toward the specific register where I had just stood. "She's right there," I said. But when I looked, the register was empty. In the few minutes it took to find Gabriella and take a bite, the cashier had finished her shift and vanished. The silence that followed was suffocating; without a witness or a scrap of paper, the guards' stares grew more accusing. Then, the breakthrough. One of the guards scanned the store and spotted a familiar face. There, several lanes away, was the cashier. She wasn't behind a counter anymore; she was standing in a different line, holding a few items she was buying for herself before heading home. The guard waved her over. As she approached the group, she took one look at me and immediately nodded. She confirmed the truth: I was the customer she had just served, and the burrito was paid for in full. The tension broke like a fever. The guards stepped back, the suspicion evaporated, and the "investigation" was over. It was a jarring reminder of how a simple Sunday errand can turn upside down in a matter of minutes--and how, sometimes, luck is the only thing that saves you when the paper trail runs out. With my suspect integrity restored, we finished the shopping, though the burrito tasted a little more like a "victory meal" than a lunch. It was my birthday today. read more

Great for sandwiches, picnic supplies, gourmet foods, fresh produce too. This is a must stop and shop for us when we visit the wineries.

It would be great if Big Johns leadership would train their cashiers not put the eggs at the bottom of the bag. And then when called out on it, not give the customer a look of attitude.

If Whole Foods and Trader Joe's had a baby' it would be Big John's Market! Beautiful variety of deli, salad bar and pizza. We were not dissatisfied with our choice of the Funghi and Salsiccia ...something pizza. Both were fresh and delicious. The crust was on point. We will stop here again when we are in the area. The ONE. employee working in the burrito pizza area was jamming. She should have had an assistant. Not because she wasn't holding her own .. but because the lunch time rush was on. It would have been a nice gesture for the company to have scheduled two employees there during that time due to the rapidly growing line. But I must say the lone employee had her rhythm and was very nice and cheerful despite being alone handling the orders. read more

If you're visiting the area, *Big John's Market* is a hidden gem you absolutely cannot miss! This place has it all: a full grocery store with a deli (that makes custom sandwiches!), a bakery, a hot bar, a salad bar, a burrito-building station, pizza ovens, an impressive cheese selection, fresh produce, and a wine section stocked with both local and imported bottles. My wife and I stopped by while planning a date night in, and we were instantly blown away. Honestly, we were like kids in a candy shop--so many amazing options, it was hard to choose! The hot bar alone is a feast, offering everything from ribs and wings to chicken tenders and meatloaf. A quick tip: come earlier in the day if you want the full selection, as some items tend to run out later. We ultimately decided on pizza, wings, and a couple of bottles of red wine. The wine selection is phenomenal--plenty of local gems that we had grown familiar with during our stay, all reasonably priced. The quality of the food we picked up was fantastic, and it made our date night extra special. Big John's Market isn't just a grocery store; it's an experience. Whether you're stocking up for a picnic, planning a cozy night in, or just browsing, you'll find something to love here. Don't miss it! read more

The food is excellent, from salads, soups and cooked main dishes to pastries. The staff is really professional, especially the young lady at the third register, her name starts with B, let's say it stands for "beautiful"! Thank you! ;) read more

I came in today to buy some clam chowder. I have complained about it for months now today. It was so watery and tasteless because of that the potatoes in it weren't really cooked. I guess I'll just give up on their clam chowder. It was the best in Sonoma County at one time But not now. read more

Big John's is a really nifty place in Windsor. It reminds me of Whole Foods but more quaint. There are a lot of specialty items to choose from and there is a bakery, deli, food/salad bar and a huge selection selection of cheeses. I could spend hours there just looking at all they have to offer. There produce selection too. Is fresh, staff is friendly, and prices are reasonable. read more

Full disclosure, I don't live in Healdsburg so I would not choose to do my grocery shopping at Big John's however, I do appreciate the variety of store prepared food like made to order Mexican food, sandwiches, pizzas, an extensive hot/cold food bar and lovely cheese shop /bakery. I also appreciate being able to purchase, specially foods like imported French butter. When I'm in Healdsburg I will often stop in for a snack, or to buy that special French butter to pair with some nice Cousteau bread and local wine. While the price point for some common items are a bit higher than a typical large retailer, Big Johns does provide a great selection of specialty items and I think this is the draw for locals and those staying the weekend in a vacation rental. read more

I'm glad the hot food section and salad bar are open now after a long closure due to the pandemic. On one side of the hot food section is the usual roast chicken, pork ribs, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, fried chicken thighs and drums, and chicken strips (breast meat). On the other side are cuisines that change daily from Mexican, Chinese, and other cuisines. Today's selection was Mexican food. There were carnitas, Mexican meatballs, chicken enchiladas, chicken pozole, beef birria, chili rellenos, roasted vegetables, refried beans, and Mexican rice. I've had the beef birria before and it was not "fall apart" tender. So today I got the chicken pozole, Mexican meatballs, refried beans, and Mexican rice. The chicken was fall apart tender and the meatball was perfectly cooked. Beans and rice were good but could have been spicier. I also got a side of spinach salad from the salad bar. I enjoy the different types of cuisine they offer each day of the week and of course occasionally, I will get the fried chicken thighs with mac & cheese. If you haven't tried the hot food and salad bar, it's a change from having to cook. The best times to go are around 11am and 4pm when the food is fresh and not dried out or picked over. read more

You get what you get for $10. The pizza looked decent, with generous pepperoni and jalapeños(I asked for them) but the flavor didn't quite match the appearance. Crust was a little doughy and the cheese could've been more evenly melted. Service was quick, and for a casual bite, it's fine--but don't expect gourmet. It's a solid grab-and-go option if you're not too picky. read more

You know you are in a bougie grocery store when there is fancy artwork/sculpture at the entrance. That fact was further confirmed with the decor throughout the spacious store. But we didn't come here for groceries. We came here for their sandwiches. They were indeed as tasty as everyone said. Highly recommend phoning in your order instead of ordering in person. If you phone it in, you can just walk up to the counter and pick up your sandwich from the marker basket. If you order in person, you may end up waiting in line for at least 20 mins. read more
