Small neighborhood market with friendly cashiers and a welcoming atmosphere. Are some items a little more expensive? Sure, but when you factor in the cost of fuel and the time spent driving to Oakhurst just to save a few dollars, the difference doesn't always make sense. I feel this store is sometimes held to unrealistic expectations for what it is. This isn't a Whole Foods or a Vons -- it's an independent neighborhood grocery store serving the local community. For the services they provide, I think they do a great job. The staff has always been helpful, friendly, and willing to assist whenever I've needed something. I haven't tried the deli yet, so I can't speak to that, but overall this store does a great job filling an important need for the neighborhood. read more

I've lived here for over 15 years and this place is awesome. Great prices and lovely people. The food is always fresh!

Hillside is very convenient for YLP homeowners. Yes, as a small market it is a little pricey but convenience outweighs the cost. Again, as a small market, variety is limited But not bad. Everyone is very helpful. read more

Great supermarket! Love the deli...MmmmRibs, Pasteami sandwich w everything for $6.00! Noice! Exemplary customer service! Cool Clean indoor always! read more

Nothing that is needed is ever in stock, obscure items somehow are. Inflated prices and strange employees

If you guys can't help somebody in the deli, you should close it. It's February 28th 2025 , about 330 so you can check your record. Whatever young man is working in the deli probably shouldn't be there, I don't know if there's a sign he can hold or a chair he could sit on to keep it from floating away, but those would be much better uses of this individual's talent. I was the only person trying to get some lunch meat and I was told that it's gonna be a a while....... My goodness this isn't that complicated. I've lived up here for over 20 years. I rather enjoy the market, but some of these younger kids that are working there I'm not sure if they're helping you guys much. So I got crappy lunch meat that was pre-package rather than venting my frustration and complete lack of faith in young people with a young man behind the counter. read more

I order 3 double Chicken sandwiches & I got 3 orders of singles burgers not chicken. This already happen twice & I called about it & they said would transfer me to the deli but never picked up. I payed extra for a double chicken& only received a single burger. read more

Great people. Great prices. Local is not always good when you live in the boondocks. In this case local is better than shopping on line or out of the area. These people care. Another products and prices reflect that care for their customers. read more

I would give them zero stars if I could. The manager here is horrible. The store is always filthy. The workers look miserable under his management. Expired food and not enough workers ever. Probably because they can't stand to work under the horrible management. The whole store is just dingy. Rather go into Fresno than here. read more

They are open till 9, always my go-to! For every item I need... Great selection of meat, produce and anything else!

I don't know why there are negative reviews for this store. It's normal for a smaller store with less volume sales to have higher prices. I go there when I don't want to drive further or to get one of their delicious burgers from the deli. Their double cheeseburger is awesome. read more

How does this place stay open? People with a dui that can't leave the area with their vehicle? Suckers that don't want to drive North or South? Beats me. The prices here are absolutely outrageous. I've seen some bad stores, this one? Hold my beer and watch how much you'll be charged for basic Staples. The deli and grill has got it going, otherwise that's it. Customer service needs improvement. A good friend who was with me could not carry his basket outside to put groceries in my car. Apparently this is against store policy? Aisles get a little messy at times as well too. It's the last resort kind of stop. Always go to Fresno if you have useful energy to and the ability to. read more

I think phone ettiequte could be better when calling back to the deli to place an order for pick-up. My husband and I have enjoyed our food the handful of times we've ordered though. read more

Covid 19 has in the past 4 months taken over 109,000 American lives. Officials agree: to prevent the spread EVERYONE needs to 1) wear a mask, 2) social distance (6+ feet) and to wash hands frequently. No staff were wearing masks and none were social distancing. The gal in produce, when asked why, launched into rant saying the CDC doesn't know what they're talking about and how dangerous wearing masks really is. Then I asked the guy at checkout why not, and he said the owner doesn't require it! This reflects very poor judgement. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

I think this store is great. Yes, expensive, but it's a grocery store in a remote area. They do a good job keeping the shelves filled and some of the people are wonderful. Yes, sometimes they close early, not convenient, but this so a small town. I'm thankful for this store and love that it's in YLP! read more

My daughter and I had to stop there to get just a bag of coffee at 8:20 pm... Yes, I am being particular. We walk up to the automatic door and it does not open. Now some of you might say, "well, it didn't open they must be closed." Except, I have seen on many occasions they turn the sensor off 20-30 minutes before they close and patrons just push the door open. So we push the door open, walk in and we are accosted with a snide and sarcastic "hello, we're closed!? Didn't you see the door was locked?!" from the elderly black curly-haired manager behind the gift wrapping station (what used to be their VHS rental counter). That is how long I have given this store my patronage since DAY FREAKING 1! So I obviously pointed out to her, and I apologized to her, that the door was not locked but just turned off and that there was no sign stating that they were closing early. Seriously, it's the last Saturday before Thanksgiving and you close early!? Additionally, have some decorum and put a sign in the window if you have to close early. Or better yet LOCK THE FREAKING DOOR. Next time, don't act like it's the customer's fault for not knowing you closed early and treat them rudely. Guess I will have to contact the Health Department for selling thawed out and refrozen Ice cream. Which is a California Health Code Violation! Don't think I didn't notice this happen multiple times this last summer! Whoever reads this, if you look at their ice cream and there are ice crystals or it looked like it snowed all over their ice cream DONT BUY IT! It means they have let their ice cream melt, reach above 41 degrees for longer than 4 hours, and then they refroze it instead of doing the sanitary and right thing of tossing all compromised products. read more

So not only did the installation of the neon Vegas sign completely ruin the aesthetic of living in the country, but then they had to increase the number of floodlights and brightness of said floodlights and leave them all running 24 hours a day. As if that weren't bad enough when their obnoxious burglar alarm goes off it frequently last between 30 and 45 minutes. Tonight we're at an hour and 20 minutes and counting and yes it's 3 AM. let's not even talk about their ridiculously high prices and lack of selection. Probably the best thing about the market is their burgers and fries. read more

To be fair, the people who work here deserve 5 stars, but the rating gets lowered for the store because: 1. Prices are pretty high for many items. I do most of my shopping in Oakhurst and shop at Hillside for smaller, last-minute items. 2. They don't sell alcohol. It's their right to not sell it, but I think they should offer it. There's a liquor store next door, but again - overpriced. 3. The produce section is not the best quality. The produce is often over-priced. I realize owning a grocery store in this area can be very challenging, but I think they would gain a regular customer base if they lowered their every day prices a bit. It's very convenient to have this place so close, so more often than not, I'm ok with paying a little more to prevent having to drive to Oakhurst. I'd definitely recommend shopping here, even if it's just to keep them in business for the convenience factor. read more

Hillside is close to home, clean and bum free. No vagrants standing outside to approach you and no alcohol or tobacco products sold to attract them! Most items are slightly overpriced but, gas to Fresno, Madera, or Oakhurst could easily eat up the savings if only shopping for a few items. Fresh veggies usually look great and the bins are well kept. The meat from the butcher is top quality Angus beef and awesome cuts. Milk and cereal are so overpriced that I make certain to plan for those elsewhere. Other than the prices, this place would earn 5 stars. read more

Pam & her crew in the "kitchen" of the grocery store are awesome. My son says their fried chicken is the best & Pam was so accommodating with my cupcake order. Most definitely convenient to have a grocery store close the community & the staff are amazing. Thank you guys! read more

Fantastic local store. Great deli, make the best burgers, and I buy the best tri tips, chicken, etc from the meat department. Yes it's a little pricey but if you don't want to make the drive to Fresno it's a stellar deal. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Just adds more charm to this mountain community. read more

Very clean, friendly, local market... have a pretty good variety... even almond milk!!

The owner does not care about the people who live near the market as the alarm started going off around 2:15am and still is, 5:00 am. Called the sheriff and they said they have had multiple calls but have no control over the owners response. I will not shop at this place ever again but will be there when they open to talk to the owner read more

We have been visiting Hillside Market ever since they opened. The staff is helpful and friendly. They help us out with our groceries. I currently have vision and mobility issues and cannot drive to other markets. Yes the prices are higher, but what do you expect in a remote location where they are charged more for groceries and other items by the distributors. read more

Hillside supermarket is great, Andrew and the deli staff too. Thanks for the awesome service.

Great to have them, we are so lucky living in a rural area and having this resource without having to spend gas money to Oakhurst or Fresno. We lost the hardware store, I hope we never lose this convenience. read more

Horrible prices, rotting berries, hot salad dressing that requires refrigeration. Awful place.

Really sad that these stores hike up their prices like they do. Went to get some donuts and they were hard. Really? . Stop ripping people off. Can't wait to move out of YLP my family will be much happier. Thumbs down to Hillside store. read more

Nice to have a spot close to home to pick up a few things. Wish they would upgrade the inside a little, starting to look a little shabby.

We shop here for small items. The problem we have is that the prices are too high. My husband and I are retired and trying to make ends meet on social security. The bright side is that the store is always clean. The shelves are stocked, and customer service is good. read more

Thank God this store is in our community. They have almost everything you could need and have decent price options. We shop here regularly.

Very well-stocked local grocery store with a great deli and meat department. Shelf prices can be a little high at times, but the meat and poultry are high quality and often cheaper than at the Fresno or Oakhurst stores. Plus you save the time and gas driving elsewhere to shop. Staff members are friendly and accommodating. Very grateful to have this store so close to home. read more

Though a little on the expensive side, I love the idea that I can get some specialty items that I can't find anywhere else. Salt Water Taffy and they always have beef specials on a Friday, plus they have Greek Gods Yogurt which I can't find anywhere else unless I go to Fresno, which is too far away. I could go to Oakhurst but it would cost the extra in gas -so I may as well spend it in Hillside. I also appreciate how clean it is and secular. I don't have to have hundreds of customers underfoot. read more

40 degrees outside and just as cold in the store. Your prices are high enough to where you can afford to turn on the heat for your customers and employees. Stop being cheap! read more

Way overpriced, it's sad that these grocery stores hike up there prices for these small town communities. Shame. And their produce is awful. read more

I shop at Hillside a couple times a week when I need to pick up one or two items I have been doing this for about 5 years and I get cash back a lot of times. Today I bought a package of rolls for 2.99 and that's all I got I asked the checker some old guy I have never seen before for 15 cash back and he tells me I have to spend 5 bucks to get Cash back, I asked him since when and he says since March because people don't buy anything and want cash back ( this guy was kinda of rude about it) I then told him you can't get cash back without buying something he had no answer for me . That's not very good customer service towards people who shop there a lot. And I agree with Bobby about the prices and produce and a lot of times they have flies in the bakery case. read more

This is not a market that you can afford to shop on a routine basis. Many prices are quite staggering, and simply not justifiable. This market filled a void in the Yosemite Lakes/foothill geographical area. And while HIllside might be forgiven a certain premium for it's convenience, their prices are for the most part over the top. Meat and produce are of surprisingly poor quality, especially when you consider that this market overlooks cattle country and the produce center of the nation. It is evident that Hillside understands it's niche, and that it exploits it to the fullest. read more

drove over to get a chicken and found out that some one to lazy to drive over had ..."reserved' all the chicken..can't do business with them have to drive quite a way and you may find out that what you want has been reserved by some one more important than you read more
