    Dried up turkey meatloaf

    What is happening to Jimbos Carlsbad? No good hot vegan food anymore. The turkey meatloaf in the hot buffet looked like scattered dried up rubber pieces of shoe.

    I love shopping at Jimbo's. It's a great place to come for organic foods. I can always count on Jimbo's for those "hard to find" organic products I can't locate at other local grocery stores. I come here on a regular basis to pick up my favorite veggie burgers (Hilary's Organic World's Best Veggie Burgers). I also appreciate that they offer all the different burger options for this brand. The organic fruits and vegetables are always fresh and colorful and the bakery, hot foods and salad bar sections have delicious "food-to-go" items. If you're on a lunch break or in the middle of running your daily errands, there is a shaded seating area with benches and tables outside of the store that offers a place to relax and enjoy your lunch. I really have to give a special shout-out to the employees at this store. If they see that you are in need of assistance, they are always there to help and answer any questions. As a regular customer, I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work, Jimbo's!

    I had been searching for organic rotisserie chicken in the area for quite some time. It's been hard to try to find one in the supermarkets. My husband and I stopped in one evening and they were out. I tried again another week and called to see if they had any available. They had two left so I told them that I would be on my way. When I arrived, I saw a customer pick up the last one just as I got there. I thought I would ask if they were planning on having more brought out. I asked the person behind the counter who then talked to another person and I told them that I had just called a few mins ago. They apparently held one back for me! I was so thankful since I had been trying to track one down for so long. They are now my go-to for my rotisserie chicken when I'm able to do meal planning for the week. Sending a shoutout to the guys behind the deli counter who brightened my day!

    NEW ... upgraded outdoor seating !

    NEW upgraded seating area outside !! Good job Jimbo's management for expanding and upgrading this part of the store. I love grabbing lunch here and having a lovely area to enjoy it is just wonderful. This is a shaded seating area that are pleasant on many days ! There are overhead heaters for upcoming cooler days. Thank you for these new lovely benches!!

    FAVORITE nut butter at Jimbo's!

Be prepared to wait in line but also check outside for their canopy serving sandwiches there also. Plenty of outdoor seating. People started clearing out as it got closer to 7pm.

You may have had it before at a friend or family BBQ, on some local area restaurants in sandwich, or in the famous Tri-Tip Nachos at Petco Park while cheering on the Padres. I love checking out all of the items they have available, and always have to grab at least a pound of the crack. This last time I picked up the Spicy Chipotle BBQ tri-tip as well. So good. If you are just visiting, you can grab a sandwich made with the tri-tip.

So I'm used to running in her for a fast meal or a few unique grocery items. First off, the parking can be a challenge. We ran in there recently at 9:15 pm, so parking was easy. But at peak times you may be fighting for a space. There are a few spots out front, and then the parking garage built onto the back of the store's building. This at least gives extra spots in a tight space. I love the prepared foods and the bakery, they are my favorite part of the store. Pizza, sushi, a hot bar with tons of options, and the cold case with tons of salads, veggie mixes, pastas, etc. Plus Prepared meals to take home and heat up, packaged soups, sandwiches, and juices. And the bakery has a ton of great choices. Among the favorites are the gourmet cookie bar that's sold by the pound to mix & match, and cakes that come whole or in single servings, scones, muffins, brownies, etc. If you can't find a dessert here you want to take home, then you just don't like desserts. They have an extensive cheese section and some interesting produce as well. I'm not as big a fan of the grocery selection, but I do occasionally buy something in the snack or frozen section. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. Be aware that going in the last hour means that you won't have access to the prepared foods, because they start pulling them from the floor. This is because they participate in the Too Good To Go program, which offers discount mixed bags of either the prepared foods or the bakery. It's one of the hardest options to get, being already sold out way in advance. The one downside is the customers. I have run into some rude, entitled people who cut lines, block aisles, and only care about themselves. It may be because of the area, or the image, who knows.

    I am a life-long fan of their Vitamineral Green, meaning I'll probably be using it for the rest of…read moremy life. The product works for me, is excellent quality, and I am thankful it exists. I was introduced to this product by my mom several years ago. (She gave me my first bottle.) My usage has become more consistent over the past year or so. Although it actually has a range of other good-to-your-body ingredients, the primary reason I use it is because I know I don't regularly eat enough green vegetables. So I supplement by adding a heaping tablespoon of Vitamineral Green to the smoothies I drink before my morning workout. I'm not sure why but when I first used this product (several years ago) it seemed to produce headaches. I stopped taking it after a week or so but used it sporadically for a few years. When my (now-deceased) husband got sick, I knew I needed to take better care of myself and I began to take a harder look at this product. And while I conducted no scientific tests to prove this, my thought is that the headaches I experienced in the past were likely due to several factors: I wasn't drinking enough water (barely one glass a day!), I wasn't getting enough rest/sleep, and my daily eating and drinking habits needed an intervention. Fast forward to now and a day without my Vitamineral Green is a day my body knows something is missing. Along with drinking more water, getting more sleep, and exercising, I feel like this product has helped improve my general overall health in the past year. I recommend checking out their website, calling with any questions, reading online reviews before making a decision about purchasing any of their products. They have excellent customer service!

Additionally, their sushi, smoothie bar and pre-made foods are top notch - they are MILES ahead of any of the "big" grocery stores. So the question is - if they are so great, why do they only have 4 stars on Yelp? One major reason is that they stretch their products. If you don't check the expiration date on every product you purchase, you will end up buying something months after it expired. I purchased a Brie-en-croute on sale for Super Bowl. I was so excited to try it. When I opened the box, the product had mold all over it. I looked at the expiration date and it was not supposed to expire for another week. Then I looked more closely. They had an expiration sticker that was on the box that had already passed, and then they put another sticker on top of that one with a different expiration date. That's not accidental - that's intentional. I definitely felt taken advantage of. Is it enough to make me stop shopping at Frazier Farms? Absolutely not. But, if this grocery outlet wants to improve, they need to look into why so many products on the shelves are expired. I understand not wanting to waste things. But you can't put new stickers on top of old stickers while selling a moldy product. I hope someone in management reads this review, and takes it seriously. I don't have time to go back to Fraziers every time I have to return an expired product. If that changes, I will change this review to 5 stars.

People with bad vision or again physical limitations likely would have issues finding it, or getting up those stairs. The elevator is far away too and god forbid it breaks down while they need to go to the restroom. It is just absolutely insane a food establishment and plaza would want to create barriers to people using the restroom. You'd think they'd want that to be as seamless and easy as possible, like every other grocery store chain in existence except in NYC. This isn't NYC or downtown LA lol.
