Watch out for this store specially if you have ebt or any kind of benefit card because the manager likes to point out that Hispanics are lucky to get this kind of cards I saw him arguing with a lady about the card he even cursed at her the lady was heated and started cursing back I saw him snatch a receipt from her hand no wonder food4less is going down read more

Security here is not any where near GOOD, my car was left in front for about 4 hours & it got towed straight pathetic stuff. I hope you can work on bettering what you guys do. This was the dumbest tow you can ever do to someone, you see the bust up car and tow it crazy... anyways don't shop here. There's about 50 homeless outside hassling you all the time. Who parking lot is out of order there was many cars on the lot but mine got towed.. read more

Honestly, this is in a sketchy area and there are transients aimlessly walking through the parking lot a various times of the day and night so, you have been warned. Inside they have everything you would need and the quality isn't bad, it's just mitigating through the lot that can be a little scary. This is a mostly Spanish speaking neighborhood and majority of the cashiers speak Spanish. I usually stop in if I need something really quick and I'm either at Marshall's or Jugos Acapulcos next door. Is it that much cheaper? For the most part, yes. I've never had an issue with cashiers or staff and found them helpful. I needed to use their restroom one time and they had to call a manager to unlock it for me in the back. Totally cool, restroom was clean with some minor tagging. Just be aware of your surroundings if you do stop in here. read more

Fuck this place always has huge lines slow service and depressed workers no one is nice

I've been going there since I was a little kid, sure it's expensive but it never lets me down

Store is not sanitized or clean! I will be walking through departments especially in key focal areas. MEAT department, colors and freezers. I can't express how much payroll you have to fix these issues and yet no more excuses. Stop acting like your working and do your jobs. This is a PUBLIC HEALTH CARE CRISES WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT THIS IN ANY CITY! YOUR CAUSING UNDERLYING HEALTH ISSUES FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE. read more

Slow service, long lines & a small selection. The premade food didn't have a seal on it, so anyone could open it as they please. How do they expect people to be okay with this? It's a safety hazard to not have seals on their premade food. Overall disappointing read more

Great prices this is usually my to go grocery store I have never had a problem inside the store everyone that works here are pretty helpful. I do have to admit that coming here was becoming such a drag due to all the pen-handlers it was out of control but it has gotten better I don't know if its because I started coming in the morning instead of the after noon but I do hope it continues like this because it was just scary and uncomfortable specially when I would go alone with my two kids. read more

This Food4less is the wrost groceries store. It like a battlegound shopping there, with store's employees blocking the arenas while you tried to shop. Cashiers, coughing while ringing up your food purchase. And long lines. Do yourself a favor, shop somewhere else. read more

Value too Good to Avoid I broke down and went to two stores because of the amazing Food 4 Less Independence Day sales. I bought quite a bit of fresh produce at bargain prices. Still, I couldn't find everything I wanted here so I also shopped at Albertsons. The cashier whose name started with X was really amazing. She was so fast and polite and cheerful and knew all of those produce codes by heart. I would say she was the best part of the visit besides the Rainier Cherries and Beef ribs I scored at a deep discount. There is a strong creepy factor at this location yet still I seem to be drawn back in spite of the leering at the door. I returned again last week for 2.47/lb Milanesa Steak which is a frequent sale item here. I sliced up two pieces and was able to feed my family of 3 steak teriyaki bowls for less than $5 overall. I also picked up a 2 lb bag of irregularly sized frozen shrimp for less than $8. Those two items made it worth the trip. Overall, I would recommend this as a bargain shopping destination. I suggest going with a friend. read more

It was pretty bad for a while with all the homeless. It looks like they are trying to clean it up. One problem i see is the way they handle the shopping carts; they put them in between the handicap parking and a regular parking spot, not leaving enough room for a large (handicap) vehicle to park. I still try to stay away from shopping here after dark... read more

I have to agree with the comments to the right about this store. The cashiers are rude. The store manager "Dan" that worked yesterday was rude and did not know the stores coupon policy and instead of saying that he was unaware of the policy; he tried to belittle me with a line growing behind me. I am contacting the corporate store as this is not the first time that I have been treated like this; however, this manager was really unprofessional and rude. He has no business in customer service. Also, there are several cashiers who look at me and immediatelyl treat me poorly because of my ethnic background. I have gone to this store in the past because it is VERY close to my house and I can actualy walk there; however, from now on I will get in my car and drive 7-10 blocks to ALBERSTONS! read more

The food is cheap. There's a ton to pick from. Parking is easy. My only issue are the people outside. Good luck trying to walk in or leave this store without someone asking for money or handing you a flyer. It's madness. It's the only part about this place I don't like. I think there's security but I never see them do anything. read more

I started coming in here more often only because they closed my local Ralph's. Sure, this store has low prices and cashiers are nice enough, but it's dirty and unkept. There are always kids or vagrants hollering IN the store. The parking lot is a sea of people selling tamales, champurado, and elote', and beggars asking for money. Trash everywhere. The one time I braved to go in after dark, I was horrified to see a mother sit in her car playing with her phone whilst her young son skateboarded in a dark parking lot. He banged on the Windows and begged for her attention. I'm sick and tired of the dirty restrooms and even filthier parking lot. Come on, F4L, take some pride in your establishment and clean it up! Its bad enough I have to bag my own groceries! read more

Shitty customer service they have cashiers that clearly hate their job. You can tell by the way they treat customers. Oscar definitely needs to be retrained in customer service skills. read more

My cashier Josselyn was extremely condescending and rude. It's not my fault she is unhappy with her career choices. She obviously has had a rough life probably living in the hood and experienced things most real Americans wouldn't even imagine. It's sad how corporate America preys on the poor to slave away for minimum-wage with no hope for the future. read more

I only shop here for canned and boxed items as they tend to be much cheaper than the surrounding markets and grocery stores. I will not buy any produce unless I am using it that day, it will not keep longer than the day you buy it! Store is usually not what you would consider clean and I wouldn't even consider using the bathrooms! Staff is generally unpleasant. I have had to return meat department chicken and beef because it was bad (purchased before expiration date). I bought each item on sale, each at a different time. I think sale items are not there to help your budget, but to move meat items that are about to go bad. read more

This store is a good place and they always have good deals. But only problem is that there's always homeless in the parking lot.

Just came back from your store. Very disapointed had such a bad expirience with older lady #2 quick pay lane. She was very rude not only to us but to the ppl before us as well. To management please re train this lady with some good customer service or keep her in the back were she wont have to deal with customers. read more

While looking at reviews for Food 4 Less on 1st St. I saw, "cashiers are rude". I haven't had any incidents of rudeness to me nor to customers within earshot of me and I'm in there a LOT. Oh, I know there's been rude incidents, but usually it's a customer who's being rude. read more

I never actually buy food here. I go to Albertsons for that. But this place has cheap beer and is well within walking distance to the house! What can I say? I'm easily pleased! read more

I just stopped in the store to pick up one item, so I was in and out. But it was a really cool experience tonight. As I was checking out there was a man that was in front of me, and I could tell he was very financially challenged. After he paid for his items with his EBT card, he went to his side of the food conveyor belt to start loading his things into a bag. Thean asked for a bag. The checker at the cashier said, "well we don't have any bags, not unless you want to buy one of these". She was referring to the reusable bags, but they cost money. He sadly replied to her, "well then I guess I'm going to have to make 5 trips". I said to the cashier how much are those releasable bags right there? She says $0.99. Here's a dollar for a bag for him..... You could tell he was so grateful. He thanked me both genuinely and politely. Just a small act of kindness can really help someone. I'm glad that I stopped in the store tonight. I have such a good feeling right now! Thank you Lord Jesus. read more

I love this Food 4 Less. My favorite thing about it is that it's always clean & it's nearby my school. So shopping after class is a breeze All the produce is fresh and clean. The main reason I come here is because the tomatoes are red & juicy. Avoid coming in the weekends because the lines are long especially at night but they always have the express lane open so that is a plus. I will keep shopping at Food 4 Less. Great store! read more

Unorganized, filthy, VERY LOW QUALITY PRODUCE. My family and I usually go to this Food 4 Less because it's right next to the house, but myself and husband dread our visits. We have experienced many shady encounters in the late evening while at this Food 4 Less, one of which a 'security guard' flashed a light right at us for no reason- (we had already paid and had bags.) Even though we come here often, we still have trouble finding some items. Today when we asked where the foil was, we were told the wrong aisle *confidently* by an employee. Go to a different market, it's worth the drive... You won't have to look over your shoulder and dig through the fruit. read more

Food 4 Less prices are good all over. Checkout time is reasonable and the cashiers are polite.

I live near this market so it is convinent to go there ofen. I have been having a few problems the last few times that I have gone. The first was I bought Chesse that was in the refriderated section take it home and it is really bad. Was super sour. So I am assuming it was out then they put it back, IT wasnt even expired. FRUSTRATING. The next time I went i Bought Sour cream that was also in the fridge section, take it home and it was super lumpy, Disgusting. Not that greatest expierences so far with the dairy products. Beware. read more

As a regular here, I appreciate cheaper prices for produce as well as extensive Mexican food options. Lacking on other cultural food (not much past soy sauce and angel hair pasta) meat prices are also on point for chicken as well as pork. Check their meat shelves for manager special sales for often discounted meat! Can be busy at odd hours, but staff is friendly! read more

This grocery store is a rip-off. That cheats it's customers. Under-stocked, all the time. Over price, rotten fruits and vegetables. There is nothing cheap at this store. The food is so high. And questionable. Meat market that puts your meat in thin plastic bags. Instead of wrapping the meat in white butcher paper. Do not go to this store. And forget about using the digital coupons, on your cell phone, they don't honor them there, Or don't know how to redeem them. This store should go out of business, and let a better store take it's place. read more
