I saw a post on Instagram about how good the sandwiches are at Oates' Country Store and that it has been in Vacaville for 44 years so I figured we'd to give it a try and support a long standing local business. It was a little bit of a drive out off of 505. We pulled up and I felt like I went back in time. The Old West to be exact :-) When we went in the guy at the counter greeted us and we told him we were there for a sandwich. It's such a cute store and they have a little bit of everything which is reallly convenient for those living out in English Hills. They even have a 2-pump gas station and dvd rentals! The sandwich choices are simple as they only have rye or sourdough slice or roll and only ham, pastrami, roast beef, turkey or salami. You can also have it hot or cold and have 5 cheese choices. The prIce was decent and we got out to the car and dug in. The bread was fresh and flavorful, there was a generous portion of meat which is good quality, lean and tasty and the dressing, lettuce, pickles, onion and tomatoes all fresh. The sandwiches were really good and if we were ever driving down 505 we would definitely stop in for a quick bite. A+ for customer service and food. I just wish they weren't so far out as it was a really good sandwich.

Should be called No Banos Country Store

I love old country stores, but when your kids got to pee and this place and the saloon are the only game in town, a country store without an outhouse is a sad thing! They've got a well stocked hard liqour section, a sandwich deli and an old white lady manning the counter. All that is missing is the shot gun to deal with the miscreants from the Wild Wrangler Saloon next door!

I recently had a high mile oil change and new tire set installation done at this Walmart…read moreSupercenter, and they did a great job. Backstory: About a year ago, I made the mistake of getting a set of tires at Les Schwab, which was one of the worst auto-related purchases I've ever made. The tires were terrible, difficult to handle, spun out three times in twelve months, and ultimately popped while still under warranty-- and Les Schwab did not replace them. My mom, who lives in an alpine environment, and also drives a Toyota, told me that Michelin Defender tires are the only way to go. So, several weeks ago, I ordered those tires online to have them installed at this Wal-Mart. Since I made one of the earliest appointments in the morning, they were able to get started on my car right away. I had also scheduled a high-mileage oil change, and they had both services done in under 45 minutes. My car sincerely drives like an entirely different car now. I could never be desperate enough to buy a tire from Les Schwab again. My mom was right... I think these Michelin Defender tires are the only way to go. While my tires were being changed, I walked around the store, and thought that it was clean, well-lit, and well-organized. I know that five stars is high for a Wal-Mart, but I think they deserve it for reducing my chances of spinning out this winter.

It's a shame that they are getting so many one-star reviews on here. If you shop at this Walmart…read moreand see a marked-down price, take a picture before leaving the aisle. I purchased Manuka honey specifically because it was marked down to $11 and change, and I carefully checked the tag to make sure it matched the item. At checkout, it rang up at a higher price. When I went back to photograph the markdown, the tag that had been there was gone, meaning someone had removed it. What bothered me most wasn't the price difference, it was the principle and how I was treated afterward. Instead of taking my concern seriously,( this was either supervisor or management level too ) I was made to feel as though I had imagined the price or was mistaken. I was so confident in what I saw that I even asked them to review the cameras. I'm giving two stars because customer service matters, and customers should feel heard and respected. You can change the store around and remodel as much as you want but if you don't change the attitude of the employees then what sense does it make in the end? I've had issues at this location a few times before, so moving forward I'll make the extra drive to the Dixon Walmart, where my experiences have consistently been better.

We frequent this location as its close to home and convenient to do quick pick up of grocery items…read morewe need. Staff is helpful and if you can't find an item, most employees will direct or show you where to find it. The minus stars is for the produce section. This section never seems to be fully stocked every time I shop here. The refrigerated berries section is always in disarray. These items are set up so high and far back on the shelves, that some people can't reach it. Berries are one of the most popular fruit items and therefore should be placed easily within arm's reach, and placed as one of the first refrigerated items you see as soon as you walk into the produce section. I've noticed that lately they've been promoting hydroponic and long stemmed strawberries which I don't care for. One day I wanted to get a honeydew melon. I saw two in the bin. As soon as I tried to pick one up, my finger literally sank into the melon like sand. That melon was so over ripen, that it was so mushy inside. Gross. The other melon was very bruised. An employee/supervisor needs to check the freshness on all produce. Often, the aisles by the soda and cleaning goods to pharmacy sections can be an obstacle course when there are box loads of items piled high needing to be stocked on the shelves. Either the staff is short-handed or assigned to only work a certain section. Also, this can be a hazard. There's ample parking, and we shop on weekdays when parking is plentiful. Restroom is decent.

Get more cashiers. Needs organization for checking out. some ppl are rude that work up front lines…read morewaiting time is always super long!!

My wife wanted to grab a few items after church. We just happen to walk by the Asian food good…read moreaisle. To my surprise, there were way more Asian items than I expected. I also stopped by the customer service to cash in a few winning lottery tickets (unfortunately only $61 worth). There was a line of people at the customer service desk and only 1 employee working. It took about 10-15 minutes of waiting around before I was served. No other employee in the store came by to help out. The Walmart Neighborhood Market on Elmira Rd usually has 2 people staffed at the Customer Service desk to keep traffic flowing. This store like all the other Walmarts and Sam's Club have undergone the signage and lighter blue/white color scheme to make seem brighter in the store and better navigation of the aisles. I rated them 4 stars (rounded from 3.5 stars) since I didn't really experience anything majorly negative here. Every aisle and the produce section seems to be well stocked and clean.

The store is clean, well stocked, and has a private parking lot. I can always find what I'm looking…read morefor. I really want to rate this store higher but staffing is a problem. They've added a lot of self checkout registers, and it appears they've let go of a lot of their staff. Not good. There aren't enough staff to help customers. There isn't anyone bagging and I believe only 1 register was staffed (with multiple customers lined up). While scanning my items I had to request assistance. User error yes but when staff arrived I got the feeling they weren't interested. Upon ringing my first item I realized that item wasn't correct for my coupon. So I asked the female manager who was standing around if there was someone who could go get the right item for me since all my other items were on the belt already. She said no. So I had to leave it. I miss the days when staff cared and went the extra mile for customers.
