Super friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. Always a pleasure shopping here. Juan in produce provided me with excellent customer service when I called in a question a week ago. Super friendly and personable. I'll continue to shop here!! :) A +++++ read more

Great selection and fresh food. It is a clean store and the standards are set high at Raley's. I can say from experience that the one complaint I have is to have a "family" store make their employees work on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. That is not the way to be a family. Other than that it is a good store. read more

Awesome wide selection of food. A fresh sushi bar, a full service butcher, deli, self-check out. A little bit on the expensive side, but check out their weekly ads to get great deals! read more

First time going and probably last . I felt uncomfortable throughout the time there . And let's not talk about the cashier !!

Raley's isn't my first choice to fully grocery shop because it is very expensive but I do shop here for good deals and believe me I do find them! If you can't find what your looking for at any other grocery store you will find it at raley's. I found a great deal the other day on their cinnamon rolls! They were so soft and the best I've ever bought from a grocery store! I went back today to find a pack that didn't have much icing on them and I asked a nice young lady if she could add some more on for me and she said sure of course. Most groceries stores would have said no. I was very pleased. Raley's is a little pricey but so worth it! Very good on quality!!! read more

You aren't going to find a better grocery store in Merced, and probably not within 100 miles. If you want to feel like you're going to get mugged or murdered, go to Save Mart, but if you want to be safe and want to see some of your friendly neighbors, visit Raley's. They have an amazing selection of wine and beer, in addition to all of their normal groceries. My one wish: a true meat counter. Raley's staff is the BEST. I especially like Steve, Dinah, and Frank. Please do not shop here if you aren't a good person. Don't ruin it for the rest of us. read more

The quality of the food and bakery is very good and the produce department is excellent. The liquor department has alot of varieties as well. You can find everything here even if you can find it at other stores. The employees are very nice but the thing i don't like about the store and the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because the security guard tends to follow you around the store if you're black or hispanic and if you don't have make up on and sweat on looking bummy stay at home chill kind of clothes but i just rab out to get some ice cream in my pajamas kinda look they will watch you like a hawk and treat you like a criminal. read more

Always great service here, some things are pricey. when I pulled out my CalFresh card I did get a dirty look from the older lady with curly hair usually at the self checkout. She doesn't even say thank you, or any retail departing gestures too me anymore. The pharmacy is always busy, but they make sure you get you're script when needed asap. All in all still 5 stars. I avoid Walmart, and other grocery stores dues to terrible anxiety/fear. Rally's is almost as great as Sprouts. read more

I've always liked coming here because the store is clean and the customer service is good. It does feel very much like a "local" store. One thing I don't like about this particular store is that I have NEVER been able to get a decent banana here! They're always too small, too green, or green and bruised, which is going to "ripen" into a nasty, bruised banana. If you have kids you know how important bananas are to the household! Also, they will sometimes be out of things that are on sale (like cheeses and other fruits and veggies). I do, however, really like the rewards program. If you use it and keep track of your coupons, offers and rewards, which is super easy to do online or on your phone, you can get some good bargains, especially on Mondays when they do "Monday Madness." And especially on items like coffee, laundry detergents, etc. They have plenty of organic items, but I WISH they had more vegan and vegetarian selections, especially in the deli and frozen foods. For example, they started carrying these Texas tamales in the frozen foods departments, which come in a few varieties. They had every variety EXCEPT the vegetarian ones. With MC and UC so close by and employees and students from both making up a large part of their customer base, I guarantee those vegetarian items would have sold well. They also stopped carrying "Texas Caviar" in the deli a while back which is too bad because that stuff is awesome and it had gotten to the point where I couldn't get it anywhere else. Also, deli salad selections seem to be fewer than in the past. Store bakery is also okay; certainly better than Save Mart's. One more thing; they occasionally carry these orange cherry tomatoes that are grown in Waterford. If they ever have them when you're there, BUY SOME! They are THE BEST tomatoes of any variety I've ever had in my life, and short of finding the guy in Waterford, I don't know where else to get them. But if you buy some, try to leave some for me. read more

Kind of expensive if your on a budget, but you can find good deals if your thrifty. Good selection on natural foods given the area and I won't buy produce anywhere else. The produce is in better shape and last longer giving you more time to use it verses throwing it away. read more

Expensive. North Merced. Always clean, always friendly, always safe and secure. Have to shop with the sales as other markets are notably cheaper. read more

I have been coming to Raleys since the day the store opened and have never been disappointed. Friendly, professional and happy...... that's EVERYONE that works here. read more

This place is awesome. Very clean, produces are fresh and always people around shopping. You get everything here what you expect in a Grocery store. Has 2 Red boxes to rent movie DVDs and a convenient post office open late and in Sundays. Post office on weekends are great to have and I haven't seen it anywhere in Bay Area! But the biggest drawback is this store is expensive. Not much sale items. Many of the same brand items you can get it for upto 40% less in other shops but people still come to this store because this is kind of positioned as a hip store to shell out more cash. read more

Nice courteous people always ! Very clean organized store by far my favorite grocery store in Merced produce section has everything very Fresh I absolutely love the deli especially the deli sandwiches you honestly cannot go wrong here. read more

Honestly I use to come here all the time and I never had a problem but after today I will never come agin they did not sell me beer because of my I'd because I lost 100 pounds so they thought it wasn't me shaking my head that's discrimination I will defiantly be talking to cooperate about this and I will not end this until it gets resolved because that absurd I'm over age I shouldn't be dealing with this anymore just because i lost weight shaking my head I can't bealive I will no longer be coming here until it gets resolved ! read more

Great grab and go section for a picnic lunch at Yosemite. Didn't need a store card for discounts. Grabbed a cooler bag for our goods.

I really like Merced Raley's and am so glad I live close by. Produce always looks fresh and beautifully displayed and they almost always have exactly what I am looking for. For the most part I use the self-service check out (which works very well), but when I have used one of the other lanes, I find the check-out personnel friendly and efficient. Same goes for the Deli personnel behind the counter. Store management has done a good job in guiding customers to products while they are going through their reorganization and construction/changes. This only reason I don't give a 5 star rating is due to how re-stocking is accomplished in many instances. For example, every time I go to Raleys and am looking for packaged spinach or brocolli, I can't get near the doors because the stocker has huge carts blocking access. The same happens in the Deli section and some of the fridge cases. I know stocking needs to happen, but it would be great ... since the store is open for business when I visit there... that stockers could keep a mind to the fact that buyers are not trying to inconvenience them, we are simply trying to purchase from the store and not have to wait until the stocker finds it convenient to let us have access to the products. There have been instances when I just needed produce during my visit and upon seeing the restocking carts in front of the fridge sections, I have left the store and gone to another to save time. read more

the store itself is great with a ton of gluten free options but i wish they paid more attention to their staff. ivey after reoccurring problems with the same staff member and at this point, i probably won't be going back. every time i go to checkout with alcohol, i always have my id out because i know that as a 21 year old, im going to be asked for it. i've ever had a problem with any workers except one, the same one i seem to always end up in line with. the first time i was in her line, i handed her id and she glanced between my id and me for a solid 2 minutes before saying "UM. this doesn't look like you" with a ton of sass. i offered her my city id, since it has a recent picture and my name, to compare to my real id. she said "no. this one just doesn't look like you and that doesn't have your birthday." not sure what to say after that. she ended up selling me the alcohol but tonight when i went in, it was the same problem. except my id had expired over the weekend (on my birthday, Saturday) and i was still waiting on my new one but had a screenshot confirming that it was renewed. she didnt even let me show her the renewal. she just gave me back my id and said "no. it has to be a picture id" not sure if that's an actual thing or if she's just being a pain again because i was able to buy a drink and dinner last night (with the same id). all in all, this worker's lack of communication with customers (i've also seen her give other customers attitude and similar problems) completely ruined this Raley's location for me. read more

I love going to this grocery store. Great variety and great customer service overall. Keep up the good job everyone!

I like this Raley's because it always has fresh produce, and the lines are short. The clerks always have a good attitude and are very helpful. I have never had to put my groceries in my car, they always do it for me. I will never shop anywhere else. read more

This is the cleanest, freshest grocery store in Merced. It offers the most variety of products and services. It is a bit higher priced, but I can always find what I am looking for. read more

Best grocery store in Merced. Have been shopping there for 20 years.

I love going to raleys it's always so clean they have amazing customer service and the best coffee in town

Excellent place anything you could want organic hard to find prepared how ever you want it they got it priced med range always clean staff very friendly they take your stuff to your car for you awesome read more

I love the friendly staff and food selection. Very clean store and the merchandise is placed in a way that makes shopping easier.

My preferred grocery, always cleab always well stocked yummy deli !

The Customer service is rude. Instead of speaking to your customers with an attitude, you can try speaking to them politely.

Nice grocery store. The guy at the deli counter is super helpful! Good selection of canned beer for the beach. Fresh clean produce area.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. They always have a good selection of produce and a great bakery/deli. The only negative is their prices are always higher for the items I buy, compared to Savemart. I'll shop there if I only need a few things since the staff is so great. It's hard to meet all my grocery shopping needs there simply due to the price. Great customer service. read more

I like this store. I just moved here and this is my neighborhood store. I would have given them 5 stars, but I find the store a little hard to navigate. Stuff is allover the place. I was looking for Aioli, which is usually kept with the condiments at other stores, but this store has condiments in like 3 places...... and still no Aioli....sad. I can't find Aioli any where in Merced. read more

i love raleys. it is really the place to be. the donuts there are the best even though our cheez its box had a booger on it hehe. just a little extra salt. nothing wrong with that. anywhomsies. raleys is a lovely little joint that i would highly recommend to everyone & their mom. read more

Every since they took away their meals and opened up the salad bar it got expensive. Used to go there to get food and drinks after school but I'll just go to the gas station now or stay at the college. Two hot meals and two drinks for about 20+ dollars. Kinda not worth it especially since the food is dried. Best time to get food from the salad bar is when they first make it. If it's been sitting for an hour or two it gets really dried. Workers are great though! read more

My favorite place in Merced to shop for food, toiletries, and gifts. They are quick and I absolutely love the self checkout option. If you are in a rush you can just simply checkout in this spot in minutes! After the remodeling, their lunch is even better! I enjoy coming here because it is not only convenient, but easy. read more

Dear Raley's, thank you for being an oasis of normal in a sea of Merced creepiness. You are worth the higher prices to avoid the Save Mart crowd and its employees, who are one and the same. If you had a legit meat and fish counter, my mind would probably implode. read more

oh my gosh so like this guy name Jose' helped me get connected to the internet on my laptop!!!!!! I was having so much issues on connecting to the internet and he was so cool!!! also a very communicative guy!!!! so awesome and nice!!!! his name is Jose and he works at the Deli cafeteria!!! you should give him a raise!!!!! and make a manager for being such a cool!!! communicative!!! great team member working person!!!!! thankies!!!! read more

I have been frequenting the Raley's in Merced for close to 30 years. I particularly enjoyed the friendly, proactive service, which always was refreshing after poor service in other stores in Merced. The golden age of Raley's was when Henry, an East Asian gentleman, was the manager. He ran the store in a fabulous manner, and the employees were helpful and respectful. However, things have changed quite a bit since then. I am unfavorably impressed by the poor manners displayed by some of the male cashiers. Greeting the customer seems to have fallen out of fashion. No eye contact, no smile, just a sullen, bored face, while they toss your bag in a disdainful manner to the end of the conveyor belt. Mikey is a real stand-out in the parade of poor cashiers, and so is the heavy Caucasian man with a goatee. Last night, René, another cashier, shoved a shell of blueberries, bought for the royal price of $7+, into my bag so that they spilled into the bag. I did not know about this until i arrived home, finding the blueberries at the bottom of my bag (some squashed by other merchandise). Sorry, the customer service just is not what it used to be. read more

customer service is alright. very few employees greeted & offer any sort of assistant. I do like the self check registers, deli department, and the redbox. read more

I have been going to this place for years and although the staff in the bakery are very nice and kind the management is very rude and disrespectful. Not to mention very bias. I love this store it self because it's always nice and clean and they have great products, but when it comes to management or service counter they are highly mean and rude. read more

This Raley's is very clean. Produce is always fresh. I love their Deli & Meat dept. as well. Wish I could frequent this store more often, but yes, prices are a bit steep. As others have posted, they have a pretty good selection of organic/healthy foods. It's also convenient that they have a post office & Chase bank inside as well. read more

customer service sometimes leaves much to be desired, some people are friendly enough others act like they have never seen you in 20 years. had my groceries taken apart today on the self check and counted like I was stealing. Then after my own bag was full I ask for a paper bag and had a plastic one for 10cents tossed to me. thought we were done with plastic bags. read more
