Old school since 1898. Yes the prices might be high on some items but if you need it then you will surely find it here. We only came by for a couple of products and walked around the store to see the shelves stocked full of stuff one might need in an emergency. The vegetable and fruit section was fully stocked too. read more

Lone Pine Market - Old school since 1898 - Grocery Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Extremely overpriced. A bottle of wild turkey in bishop is $13 and change. Here, its $31 and change.... Would not purchase again. read more

This place has everything you need... I've seen a lot of complaints about prices on here but you have to understand the distances they have to go to restock their items ... So yeah you pay a bit more ... I'm fine with that... and thankfull I don't have to drive up to Bishop to do my groceries.... ps: their selection is amazing... read more

We just moved to lone pine and every time we go in there the employees follow me and my girlfriend around the store makes us feel way uncomfortable every time we pushed a shopping cart to our apartment and 2 employees followed us to our front door off our home . There not friendly at all there rude and the Lil man that looks like drake is just horrible he should get fired read more

Store is fine but they must be smoking some good shit for the prices they charge for basic stuff

We were camping in Alabama Hills and needed to stock up after being on Death Valley for 3-nights. Pleasantly surprised at this local grocery store. The meat/produce/beer cave were all exceptional. Took home a ribeye etc and had an amazing meal back at camp. Jack was the cashier and shared the story of how the owner was updating the store. Service at the meat counter and with Jack was A+ K Faulkner read more

Their prices are scandalous, but they did have everything I needed for the rest of our camping trip. I think it's the only market in town. The gentleman at the register was nice read more

Perfect for a traveler. Has a little bit of everything and some new things we didn't even know existed. All staff was very nice and quick to answer our questions. Gracias por el excelente servicio! read more

Lone Pine Market - Wide moonshine selection. - Grocery Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Only store in town. They have you by the gnads. Some competition would force them to lower the prices to an acceptable place in reality. Until then stock up before you come and save yourself a fortune read more

Great friendly service. Has everything you need from a grocery store. But it's definitely expensive! Not surprising as it's the only one around. Lol we picked up two massive ribeye steaks from the meat counter that were really great cuts! 45$ for just the steaks. read more

A mixed bag in terms of available stock and pretty pricey. But it's pretty much the only game in town.

I can't believe people give this place bad reviews. You have to appreciate that there is this store available in this small town. I stopped in a couple days ago when spending night at the Dow Villa. They had fresh produce, meats, good Alcohol selection. Yes prices are somewhat high, but geeze you are lucky they are even open! I'll always give them my business when passing through Lone Pine. People that worked there were friendly. read more

If you are traveling this market has anything you might need food or drink. They are attentive and helpful,

I would describe this as a quirky mountain town market. They had what we needed, but don't expect large town amenities or a huge selection of specific items. We did find a decent bottle of wine here though. Parking requires a trip up a side street and then on street parking is on either side. There were no prices on a majority of items, and empty shelves throughout the market. Not a big deal, just keep an open mind if you shop here and you'll be good. Reminded us of markers we've seen in Borrego Springs or Telluride. The check out woman was really nice, and unlocked our wine for us with a smile. 5 star service with a 4 star selection. Definitely worth the stop as it's the only grocery game in town. read more

Lone Pine Market - Grocery Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Sub-par selection, over-par prices. I know it's Lone Pine, but this place just isn't remote enough to have a selection this poor. It's still 3.5 hours from...THE SECOND LARGEST CITY IN AMERICA. Stuff on the shelves looked old. It was expensive. There weren't many options. I'd recommend getting all your groceries in Bishop, if you're coming from that direction. read more

Check your receipt. Cashier overcharged us $6.00 on a bottle of wine. We didn't catch it until later when we realized our purchase seemed a little high. read more

Flies and a weird smell when you walk in. The prices were extremely high for regular items. We were there to buy a few can goods and some bottled water when we decided to take our money elsewhere. read more

They have beer and necessities but it always stinks like they have a broken fridge and spoiling food. Always smells like stale refrigerant and rotting produce. Their fire wood is a sappy mess and wasn't dry enough to burn. read more

umm im sorry but this place needs to have regular slushies, like all they have are beer slushies?? i'm unimpressed. do better next time.

For a grocery store out in the cute little vacation town of Lone Pine, it's not too bad in essentials. It is stocked with everything you can think of for hikers, campers to locals. read more

Much to our surprise, the LP Market had everything we wanted and needed: fruit, veg, dairy, meat, wine, good coffee, staples. They even carry Nando's Perinaise! We made due with packaged cold cuts. Didn't see any fancy cheese (not a problem just an observation). All told I think I shopped here 3 times over our Christmas visit. They were even open Christmas morning. Staff were cheerful and helpful. Very grateful that we didn't have to drive 30 miles to get groceries! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality in this small town market. The meat counter had fresh reasonably priced meat pork and chicken. Great friendly service. I don't know if they had a recent owner change but I didn't see anything that warranted the negative reviews. read more

I live nearby and AVOID this place whenever possible. Everything is OVER-PRICED and EXPIRED. The employees are RUDE. BEWARE if you make the mistake of thinking this'll be a nice, little grocery stop. Check the expiration dates on EVERYTHING. read more

How do people afford to live in this town and buy groceries, this place is a rip off. We were camping and passing through when we stopped by for a gallon of milk, and a loaf of bread. We ended up buying a 1/2 gallon at $4.39, we did not want to pay $6.50 for a gallon of milk. They had a loaf of white bread that was past its shelf life on clearance for $2.00. We also saw avocados for $2.49 each and a gallon of water for $2.39, also saw Farmer John sausages for $2.79. Next time, we will stop in Bishop at Vons. read more

I was car camping in Alabama Hills, and with a late start out from home, I figured I could just pick up food in Lone Pine. It was a good choice. I stopped by and picked up a nice and not expensive steak for dinner the first night, plus some marshmallows for the kids to roast and protein shake for breakfast the following day. For dinner the next night it was tri-tip and Jiffy Pop for the kids. Also Ice, beer, water, and firewood for the campsite. Overall, the prices were reasonable even considering the 'captive' customer base and the logistics of getting the food up here. Even the produce looked good. If you don't want to load up a cooler at home when you are headed up to Lone Pine, you should be able to get just about everything you need locally. read more

Joseph's Bi-Rite has been around Inyo County since God's great-grandmother was in diapers. The family is multi-millionaires many times over. If you like antique markets - before there were health departments, government standards, health and cleanliness laws and the like - you'll love this risky little patch of 1920s America. Don't expect to find anything fresh. Finding refrigerated products a year past their "best by" dates is common. If you want fresh meat, buy it in Ridgecrest or Mammoth. Expired meat, particularly expensive cuts, are recycled by wrapping them in tightly-taped brown paper bags and marked as "dark steaks". The local native Americans usually buy these, because they're cheap. There's a Bi-Rite in Bishop, too. Thankfully, it's not the only grocery in town, but they do have the same dirty practices Lone Pine has. Bottom line, bring a big cooler and stop in Mammoth or Ridgecrest for your grocery needs. Inyo County is famous for its miserably ineffective health department, and it's been obvious for many decades, from food stores to restaurant kitchens to campgrounds. read more

BEWARE! Their firewood was crazy smoky! As pretty and dry as it looked in it's neat little bundle It didn't light. We had to buy another bundle when we arrived at our campsite which lit instantly. The cashier was really friendly and fun in helping us. I think interacting with tourists has become a delight for the employees of the small town here. We appreciate seeing people and civilization after driving miles on the empty road and I'm sure they appreciate seeing new faces. Our cashier worked as a waitress at the restaurant behind the store and as an ambulance driver. She wore 3 hats in this small town. While she was our cashier I appreciated her jovial attitude and the fact that she offered up a ton of old newspapers to help us with our fire starting. Little did we know we were going to need more than just that small bit of paper. We should've taken the whole pile. read more

Our one and only market. Very nice, honest people work here. The best priced milk in town. read more

Lone Pine Market - One never knows what new treat has been put on the shelf. Blackberries, only $1.89 a box. - Grocery Near Me - Lone Pine, California

See all

Where do you go when buying grub in Lone Pine? Joseph's Bi-Rite, of course. Now if you'd planned ahead and not forgotten any items for your camping trip, you probably would have saved a lot by buying your groceries in a major metropolitan area. But once you get to the Eastern Sierra and smack your forehead-- "Dang! I forgot the marshmallows!"-- you'll be glad the minimarts at the gas stations up and down I-395 aren't your only sources. Save some money and get a better selection by dropping into Josephs. There you'll find fellow touristas from all over, also looking to buy things they forgot on their trips. The locals will just give you a funny look for wearing your Gucci sunglasses in their store, but they won't do you any harm. If you just need to stop in for beer and a restroom stop, head to the back right hand side of the store. Restroom use is for paying customers only! On the way back to the register after relieving yourself and picking up a 12-pack of Bud Lite or other domestic swill, check out their selection of postcards and funny hats near the front. Or waltz on over to the left side and pick up a box of Fudgesickles. You'll be glad you did-- especially when it's 110 degrees outside. read more

New owners! They are trying to bring this place back to life. There's always room for improvement but they're making an effort. Please somebody tell me why don't any of these markets post prices on their ice cream novelties. read more

This place is re-named probably through a change in ownership. They had what we needed, but everything was overpriced for a market. $7 for a 12-pack of soda isn't what I expect from a market. That is only one example of many that we found. read more

Great little store. They work their busts off to help the community with fresh veggies, meats and other foods. Great wine selection.

After reading all the other reviews, I had to reflect on just how much this store has not changed. I lived in Lone Pine for several years, back in the 80s-90s. The store was pitiful at that time. Meat was not usable in many instances, their produce was so shabby that nobody in their right mind would buy it. The store employees were discourteous to most of their customers. I really felt sorry for some of the older local residents who had no transportation, so Joseph's was their only option. There was a small grocery store on the reservation, that was open for a few months. But Joseph's froze them out. Joseph's undercut their prices, and actually carried decent and meat and produce. But only until that store went out of business. I hope the owners have a special place reserved for them, upon their demise... read more

Snooty tattooed checker about as unpleasant a person you could hope not to meet. I live near by and know that good help is hard to find but you could replace her with a case of the crabs and come out ahead. Most checker and staff have been pleasant in the past so not the norm read more

This is a creepy small town market. The cashier touched my son's bottom. I tried to complain to the manager about it. But she was a manager. I should have called police. read more

I LOVE this market!! I've read many of these reviews, and the negative ones seem to be posted by folks from the big city...well if you're expecting Ralph's or Pavillions, you need to head back to the big city. This market has never let me down...I always find what I need...and I don't need to search for a parking spot, look for anyone willing to help, of sit in traffic to get there!! This small town market is everything I would expect, and more...the people actually SMILE!! But that seems to be infectious when you live in a small town!! I am a full time RV'er...and can travel most anywhere I like...but Lone Pine, and this market, hold a special place for me!! Surrounded by mountains, and clean air, who could be grouchy??? read more

This market is under new ownership, the name changed to "Lone Pine Market". Up grades are being done to the store, New faces in the store are friendly willing to help you find items. New items are filling the shelves, fresh produce looks great haven't found anything pass due date. So refreshing & I like the music makes a person want to dance. Stop in and check out the new look in progress. "Have a Great Day" read more

When you consider that Lone Pine is a small desert town far from distribution centers, Josephs-bi-rite-market isn't that bad. Yes you need to check expiration dates and the produce isn't great, but it's a helluva lot better than the stores in Independence, or Olancha, or Death Valley. Improvise! Make due! To paraphrase the Stones, you can't always get what you want at Joseph's, but you just might find what you need. read more

freshen the place up - I know that it is used hard by campers and tourists but is shows a bit too much. Produce - come on, even in Lone Pine, one can get much better, and fresher produce. read more

Nice little grocery store which is actually the biggest in the area. Not a huge/cheap selection, but good if you need camping items or something quick. I forgot what item we needed to buy here. Friendly locals. Great selection of old-fashioned sodas. Yum! read more
