I prefer Ralphs over Vons as they both have similar items and sales however, I find better deals at Ralphs especially on meats. They always have stickers with reduced pricing here. The store is clean and the workers are friendly. They also have a large cheese selection. read more

Every single time, and i mean, every single time for the last ten years that i been coming to this location do I get snarky/ passive aggressive remarks from these employees to no end. From the older lady forcing me to use their conveyer belts in self check-out, to the guy demanding me to download their app to get their discount, to that loud lady that yells all day every time i walk in, never any carts available because they haven't been collected, i cant help but keep coming back to this dreadful place. Honorable mention: the long-haired fruit geezer that never wants to help and seems to never know where anything is in HIS department (thank goodness he's probably retired) A.I. cannot come fast enough to replace these insufferable people because Ralphs actually has decent prices and is convenient enough of a location. read more

Kenia is amazing! She deserves a promotion! I just love this store and my interaction with Kenia yesterday just solidified that! The customer service at this location is wonderful, from the sushi chefs (awesome family) to the Starbucks Baristas to the Deli to the cashiers - it's just a great vibe all around! Kenia saw me struggling yesterday while holding sushi (gotta love the Friday special) and trying to grab a pack of La Croix. I told her I didn't plan on shopping but just thought of more items I needed! She says "that is what we want at Ralph's, let me give you this basket so you can do more shopping" I began to tell her that I used to work for Ralph's as a bookkeeper back in 1999 in Orange County. And how much I love the company. It was a great, quick conversation. But I was impressed with Kenia's wonderful customer service, positive attitude and bright personality. She represents this store and company so well! Thanks Ralph's on Palomar in Chula Vista read more

I love my local Ralphs on Palomar Street. They always have great deals with their weekly digital coupons. I literally know everyone because they're so friendly, nice and helpful. I go there like five times a week and just get fresh food and then cook it right away. I love it there because you feel like you're shopping in a clean environment without a lot of chaos and it's very well organized. Pro tip look for Manager special tags on things and you'll save a ton of money or the sale rack in the back always has great stuff on it. Honestly happy shopping everyone. read more

I love coming to the East Palomar Ralph's location. They always have the best produce and very good quality meats. I am notoriously doing pickups (as I have small children and a very busy schedule, much more convenient) I always receive great custom service. In the rare event my order is running behind the store will reach out and notify me by phone, (which is better than by app which a notification may be missed). If I have ever had any problems with orders the store manager is always prompt to reach out and correct the issue without any hesitation. Overall, great store, clean, fast checkout (even when they are busy) fresh produce and great customer service! Definitely recommend this location read more

This is my go-to spot for groceries or a quick ice cream or snack run. I love that there's a Starbucks inside super convenient! The workers always seem happy and friendly, and everything about shopping here is simple and fast. Can't ask for more! read more

Great Ralph's! Conveniently located with plentiful spacious and well-lit parking. Store is massive and clean - well stocked too. Open early and closes late (5am til 1am) every day for all your needs. read more

Do not order a custom cake from the bakery. I'm stuck with this misspelled birthday cake. No way to fix it. The word Birthday has an extra i in it and the frosting is covering the words. This is the last time i am going to order any type of cake from Ralphs. Very disappointed. read more

Customer service is always great. Their deli presentation and options are mediocre compared to the hillcrest and La Jolla location.

Not for the grocery store but for the pharmacy. We've been going there for years and they have the best people working there. Compassionate and just wonderful people. Want to make a shout out to Lisa who's been helping us throughout the years. read more

The saving grace is this stunning pre made bouquet. The bad part was that my boyfriend pre ordered me a bouquet to surprise me with for my birthday and even received a confirmation email from Ralph's, only to arrive and be told there was no record of the order. The lady in the floral department was unsympathetic and rude. My boyfriend even explained this is for a birthday, the floral lady never once apologized or offered to remake it as quickly as she could. My boyfriend was fortunate to spot this but with no help from the associate. read more

No more plastic bags and the paper ones are tearing and splitting with little way. Plus charging for paper bags. Abusive

Every time I come here in the morning I am forced to use self checkout. I don't work here open a register.

Writing this review as I leave the store because of the amount of gratitude I have for Mickey. it's Easter and my nephew's birthday, we scrambled for an hour to find a place to that will inflate balloons for us. Mickey was extremely kind to assist us even after their flower center was closed and got us out in time to make our dinner! I could not be more thankful for him as Ralph's was our last hope for the night. So Glad they have someone like him leading the team! read more

Walked up, said hello, and was completely ignored while the lady behind the counter counted her drawer and chatted like I wasn't there. When I finally gave up, she snapped 'you have to pay here!' in the bitchi€st tone imaginable and then immediately walked away instead of helping me. The coworker who rang me up acted smug like this was normal. Zero customer service, zero respect, just attitude. If you enjoy being treated like a subhuman, this is your spot. read more

If you're looking to pay your car registration after hours when DMV is closed this location offers a Kiosk self service. It's right by the main entrance near the fruit section you can't miss it. I also found it interesting that the beauty supply section has a glass window that enclosed the area with cameras and a register. Overall it's a great location for multi services not just groceries but also registration and a key machine. read more

This review is for their Pharmacy: Overall They were quick and attentive. I had never felt rushed or looked over. Alvin processed my insurance and flu shot info incredibly fast. Dr. Dave took over for the injection part and I barely felt it. The shot was gentle and way easier than any other flu shot I've received. He was informative and calm. The pharmacy staff were all hospitable and friendly. The last time I got a flu shot was by a nurse who stabbed me like I was the new girlfriend to her ex boyfriend. Dr. Dave gives shots like if he knew I had been through a lot and didn't want the experience to be dreadful. Lol Please go here for your pharmacy and immunizations. You won't regret it.. read more

The Deli service is absolute rubbish. Worst ever experienced. Bad management, 20 min wait to get service. Same person doing sandwiches and doing cuts. Need more people to jump in when there's people waiting and cross train. read more

After frequenting this ralphs for years i have never experienced unprofessionalism as i witnessed today. My aunt was simply asking the butcher if he had any other rib eyes in the back and he was short with her. But he had no problem greeting a customer he recognized and began to stop what he was doing to chat it up. My aunt stayed close by the meat section and waited around looking at the sales/signs and he said "HOLD ON, IM STILL MOVING" was that even necessary? Upon checking out my aunt brought it to the attention of a female cashier and she basically shrugged it off, dismissing her, proceeding to check out. I've been trying to get in contact with some type of manager to escalate this to and make aware however, the number i got has been ringing with no answer. Ultimately, bringing attention on here because this is poor customer service and no one should have to be talked down to like this. This happened today at 12pm! read more

My review covers the produce dept only. My sister and I went shopping at Ralph's on 10/15. Martin works in the produce dept, and was extremely helpful and was able to answer all my questions. He treated me with the upmost respect. Due to his exemplary customer service and his knowledge of his dept, I will be returning to this location in the future. read more

My in-laws recommended Ralph's in Chula Vista to obtain the family's annual flu vaccine shots. The process here was seamless and organized. Our insurance covered the entire vaccinations for free. Kudos to the staff in the pharmacy. They were very professional and accommodating. Jamie was amazing and she had entered all of our information in the system. Jin the doctor on duty was great. We were done with the whole process in no time. Now we just hope that we got the right vaccine and not get the flu this year. read more

Ralph's is my go to grocery store if. It the commissary. This location is right outside my house so it's super convenient. They normally have everything I need and rarely are they out of stock. The staff here are all friendly and professional. I have not ran into any unprofessional employees. Parking is huge too because it's in a little shopping area with restaurants and a CVS next door. Prices and deals are good here too! read more

Hidden "digital coupons" on huge price tags which you would think is the price for the item. But no, you must scan the teeny tiny QR code at the bottom right corner in order to get the advertised price. Really unfair asking the shopper to do even more when I already have the rewards card and spending my hard earned money in your store. I got my receipt and saw that I had paid $9.00 for blueberries when the should have been $4. I politely asked a clerk on the way to the door for some assistance and she said you have to scan the code to get the advertised price. Didn't bother to help or remedy the situation and just walked away. This shopper is done shopping at Ralph's. read more

As far as grocery stores go. I have to say that Ralph's really is in the lead. They have a great selection of products, wine and beer that far surpasses the other stores. They have wine glasses and other stuff that is perfect for a last minute gift or a dinner invitation gift for the hostess. The only reason they did not get 5 stars is because we ordered a couple of deli sandwiches for a picnic at Shelter Island and the deli worker who will remain nameless forgot the cheese and made the sloppiest sandwiches ever. What a mistake we will not make again. But I digress, Ralph's is a great organization they have the right idea and I wish other stores would follow suit. read more

Ralphs - Great wine selections - Grocery Near Me - Chula Vista, California

For the last few years and especially now, Ralphs has had below average customer service. Long lines, slow personnel (with some exceptions), and sky rocketing prices. Today, they were so understaffed the lines were into the aisles, and I even saw a young man run out of the store with liquor sounding the alarm. For whomever is running the store, you've got to do better. Go back to the quality of service and safety you had when you opened the store. read more

I recently placed an order with the bakery for a sheet cake for my daughter's birthday. I was in the area the night before her party to see if I can add something on the cake. When I got there and asked about my order, they couldn't find the ticket. They offered to leave a message for the person who took the order and I recommended to make a new ticket to make sure the cake would be ready for the party the next day. Unfortunately the day of I was not there to pick up the cake but I assumed my requests were honor especially since it was discovered the first cake order disappeared. When I finally saw the cake it was everything opposite of my requests. It was very upsetting and disappointing. Although everyone said the cake was delicious it really bummed me out that even though I was understanding and willing to work with the bakery I was still left with a disappointing experience. read more

Great place to shop for food. Every thing in stock, friendly helpful employees and fast check out all the time.

Love grocery shopping here! Love coming after 9pm & getting the "Manager special" in the meat & chicken area. The whole staff that I've delt with are friendly & helpful. It's always clean & nice in here unlike Walmart! I rather come here then Walmart! Going to Walmart is like going to a Swapmeet in the hood I hate it. I don't care if the prices are cheaper at Walmart I still rather Grocery Shop at Ralph's. Their fruits & veggies are always fresh & the area is clean & organize unlike Wal Marts which is dirty & a hot mess! And Ralph's actually has a lot of items that costs less then it does at Walmart, true story. Try their meat/fish section, they actually fry fish for you for free if you ask them! They also got a Starbucks inside & a pretty good deli area with a good hot fresh Chicken Tortilla soup to go. Might not be 24 hours but they do stay open till midnight which is pretty good. Lines might take a bit long sometimes but not that bad. But no matter what I still love doing my grocery shopping at Ralph's & especially this one then any other Ralph's! Ralph's for the win over Wal Mart easy! read more

Ralphs - DANGER it says!Good thing I only had too pee & used the urinal.People shouldn't be pooping at a grocery store anyways it's weird - Grocery Near Me - Chula Vista, California

This store is so poorly managed. There are seldom baskets (carts) available and when they are they are most likely full of dirty papers or the wheels don't work properly. Inside it only gets worse, they are always stocking and customers often have to turn around because the isle is totally blocked and if the stockers are not blocking customers' path then the oversized displays are there to assure you can not get through. I have traded at this store for years and have witnessed its decline but now it to a point I have been shopping more often at another store. It is sad but what is a customer to do! These problems that are easily spotted if the managers were to ever do a walk through of their store. Management 101! read more

My boyfriend and I went to Ralphs the other day to get some sushi and a poke bowl, when we we're lolg eating it I noticed that the sushi didn't taste good and ended up not finishing either of them. The next day, my stomach was not doing well along with my boyfriend and we both ended up with food poisoning throwing up throughout the day. Definitely will not be coming back. read more

The pharmacy staff at this location is absolutely the best I have ever dealt with. I've been on long term medications since I was a child and I've been to dozens of pharmacies but NEVER have I had a better or more consistent experience at a pharmacy. Every single person on staff knows me on sight, is always professional, welcoming and friendly. I've not had a single issue with them in the 18 or so months I lived near their location. Unfortunately I've moved recently and I'm unable to continue using the pharmacy but folks need to know what an excellent job these people are doing. Truly incredible. Thank you to all the staff, it has been my privilege to be your patron. read more

This Ralphs store is not my first choice to do groceries. Like many other chains, the overall total cost of a full basket of groceries can be pretty expensive. I just drop by here, when I don't want to drive over to Sprouts or Trader Joe's in Eastlake. They do have a huge selection of goods. The store is kept fairly clean. When they do have sales, they are really good sales. You'll need to jump on them, as soon as you see them, otherwise they'll run out. When I do drop by, it's nice that it's not crowded. I can easily pick up my needed items and quickly check out. This is especially the case at the deli and bakery area. It's rare that I need to wait. There's a Starbucks inside. Plenty of parking outside. Overall, not bad. Not bad, at all. read more

I like this location because it is very conveniently located to home, food places and gas station. The parking is decent, but it can be a bit of a hassle to park and/or back out of a space due to all the other stores located in the shopping area. The staff here have been friendly and on most occasions I've had staff walk by and ask how my day is going and if I was able to find all the items I need. I enjoy the fresh fruits and veggies, as well as the awesome bakery here. The prices here can be a bit higher than places like Walmart, but you're paying for freshness! I would recommend coming here for the freshness and the awesome customer service. read more

My go to grocery store for some quick grocery runs. They are always clean and always helpful here at this location. They have self serve cash registers for quick purchases or just to avoid awkward small talk and cash registers that can do all the scanning and bagging for you. They also have a Starbucks in there if you don't want to walk across the plaza to the Starbucks across from lolitas. read more
