Quality/Quantity - Overall good. No more Red Box at this location. Personally, with so many streaming services, I am surprised that they lasted this long. Atmosphere - Good size clean organized location with all the departments, including a Starbucks. See pictures. Open 7 days a week from 5am to 1am. Plenty of private parking. Service - Good. I like the 5% off for students and faculty promotion, thank you. See picture. They do this at UC Berkeley also. Price - N/A. Owner Comments - Congrats on your success here since 1930. Congrats on your success since 1915 with your 904 locations in 17 states. In 2015, Albertsons purchased Safeway. read more

It is surprising that this store maintains a 4-star rating on Google. Many items appear to be overpriced, and I have encountered products that were already expired. The sushi department reportedly failed inspection, and overall management appears ineffective. Safety concerns are also being neglected. Trip hazards and other obstacles are not being addressed properly. Staff members often seem inadequately trained and unsupported. Within the past month alone, at least two people reportedly slipped and fell due to spilled beverages or other liquids left unattended on the floor. One individual allegedly suffered a broken limb. It is quite disappointing to see a clown directing a Safeway down to this low level of hell. read more

Paper grocery bags no longer have handles. This is one of the few reasons I shop there. I also shop the $5 Friday deals.

I bought a fruit bowl yesterday of peaches, nectarines, mango, and grapes. About half of the nectarines and all of the mango were unripe. Can't they tell the difference between ripe and unripe fruit? More understandandable with melons, but selling cut unripe fruit that won't get riper is a rip-off. read more

I feel kinda bad for giving a 3-star rating as Thanksgiving nears but honesty is the best policy right? The Good: - Nice big grocery store and it's organized - I like the Self-Checkouts - Their hot food section has some delicious options. The chicken tenders and potato wedges are yummy to the tummy when they are fresh. - I love their California Dreamin sandwich! It pairs wonderfully with focaccia bread. The Not So Good: - I don't really shop here as much as I would love to because I think they need to better their COVID protocols. For example, I think they should limit the amount of people that come inside. - It would be nice if the kitchen staff workers would ensure that their naked fingers not touch the food when placing it into the to-go containers - The organic avocados are like twice or more the amount here vs. buying them for generally .99 at the North Coast Co Op (and they're good quality at the Co Op) Hopefully the next time I come here, I'll see that the COVID-19 measures in place are better. read more

I paid $22 for wine yesterday and when I tasted it, it had obviously turned... tasted sour and mildewy. Tried to take it back with receipt and they refused to refund it saying that they don't refund alcohol. So does that mean I just need to not buy wine at Safeway anymore? Because there are bad bottles.... it was obvious that it hadn't been drank except for the small bit that was first poured. I'm really bummed about this! I splurge to get some wine, and if it's bad I can't return it? Even for a replacement of the same exact wine? Not cool! Not gonna buy wine from Safeway anymore!! For the most part this is my go-to grocery store so this review is for my experience today. read more

This is a great little store with absolutely everything we needed. Prices were reasonable, and everything was easy to find. "Most" of the staff are kind and smiling, and those who weren't will probably be gone before your visit, so don't worry about it. read more

The store was fine but the woman with the short hair at the deli counter was a total hag. If you want to feel like you're inconveniencing someone for asking them to do their job, this is the place to go. The couple in front of me walked away saying something about reaching over the counter and smacking her. I'd have applauded read more

again, my computer order for pick up =incomplete. again, when i phone to say it is incomplete, only lies appear to be made "it is not on your order though my screenshot of my order ==item was ordered. even the manager lied though i have proof it was ordered. so now i am without light in my bedroom because the ordered bulbs were not included!!!! i notice that safeway employees must be taught to never apologize for a mistake!!!!! read more

Their selection is, of course, extraordinarily good. You wouldn't know it from curbside and home delivery, though. I used home delivery 2 days ago, and the driver/safeway had left the refrigerated items bag at Safeway. When I immediately called about it, they weren't very interested in scheduling a delivery... and the driver said it wasn't his concern. Ahhh.... I see. Then I tried curbside delivery today, which was extremely prompt once I arrived at the store; HOWEVER, when I got home the bananas were the most green bananas I've ever seen in my life, should take about a week before they're edible -- and they did not include the two most critical items, saying they were sold out. Perhaps they could have contacted me to tell me the items weren't in stock, and I should choose something else? No. They didn't. So... I'm underwhelmed with their willingness to communicate with me. If I'm desperate, I'll use either curbside or home delivery, but I now don't trust them to either pick well in the store or to communicate problems with me. read more

We stopped in to grab a few things to eat for our camp and long drive home tomorrow. For dinner for myself I had the deli make me a pastrami sandwich on white with pepper jack cheese, fresh spinach, dill pickles, red onions, and mayo. Really good sandwich for $7.99. Girlfriend got California rolls and seaweed salad which she really enjoyed. Typical Safeway prices (not cheap) but the quality was definitely there. Grabbed a couple IPAs, and junk food. $47. read more

Safeway - Store - Grocery Near Me - Eureka, California

Never has stocked shelves. Never has friendly customer service. This morning I asked three employees for help. Two literally told me "we don't help customers" and to go to customer service, which was closed. The other, a freaking manager, said I'll go look for help and 20 minutes later was nowhere to be seen. Tip: Go to Winco. read more

One checker thought it was necessary to tell the man shopping in front of me that people from younger generations have no testosterone, and that all men from the 20s-60s even in old age have more testosterone than young men now. Why would you even say that? While the customer is walking away, instead of ringing up my items, it was more important to her to keep getting the same customer's attention as he's walking away 3 different times, over 20ft away. I love waiting unnecessary extra time for a boomer to stroke her ego. No greeting, and being in my mid-20s and a Vet I definitely let her know she was full of shit. That was so disrespectful to so many men my age I had the pleasure of working with, and who are trying to find our way in this world forsaken by previous generations. I think the best part is when the lines are filling up the walk ways, but they have 4 employees standing around, chatting at the self checkout area. But don't worry about it, you can just go through one of the 3 open lanes and deal with them. I'm noticing a common theme that standing around and talking is the art of the deal here. I always do self checkout, but make sure your machine is 100% functional otherwise you might be standing there in 5 minute intervals waiting for the employee to comeback to their station, to fix the machine that randomizes when it does and doesn't work. After a few interactions with the checkers, it makes me anxious thinking I can get in line and have a stupid interaction or do it myself and spend some extra time. I don't like interacting with the Starbucks employees, they don't give a fuck, they'd rather just continue the conversation they're having and maybe get around to ringing you up. Here's your shit, go away. I mean I get it, I was in a position like that at one point in my life. Doing work you don't want to do, for a check that might be too small (but I doubt that considering McDonalnds will pay above min wage) and it's hard to have a good attitude toward customers being assholes daily. But I'm a quiet and neutral person, and it seems like ~80% of Yelp reviews are blown out of proportion. I think if I'm having a hard time coming here, undoubtedly others are. If you can get around people standing in the middle of aisles so you can't pass, the employees, and the dumbass parking lot then this isn't that bad of a store. The produce is generally good. I rarely have to choose different products, it's very well stocked. The managers seem like they care and interact with their employees. On several different occasions I've seen the same manager stocking different aisles which is really uncommon. It seems like the problem is that the managers are younger, so some of the employees think they can do and say whatever they want. Especially if the employees are older. My brain is saying give 2 stars, but I'm giving 3 stars out of good faith that the store in terms of layout, options and stock is good, and that management cares. read more

OMG!!!!!!!! Went to Safeway in Eureka to purchase gift cards for my boys........ They are no longer accepting Credit Cards to buy Visa Gift Cards!!!!!!!! I've bought Visa Gift Cards for the past few years with a credit card, why now??????? Not to mention the clerks were rude, and one claimed to be a manger. WOW read more

This one star is for Starbucks in Safeway. Every person there is rude. DERRICK the manager has said he hates happy customers. He doesn't want to bs about your day. He couldn't even hand me a napkin when I asked please. My drink was over filled and leaking and they acted like it was my fault. I will never use this Starbucks again! Even other customers were shocked to see him act that way. Terrible service and no customer service! read more

Love Safeway! Great atmosphere! It just needs to be a 24/7 running buisness because I'm mainly a nighttime shopper and I'm sure other people are too! read more

4 stars mainly for the parking lot. The angle of entrance was complicated for our short-bed truck with traffic trying to exit at the same time. If I was a jerk, I would've made others move out of my way, but waited and thankfully didn't have traffic behind me. I also felt the normal spots were very narrow, but parked in the back next to the compact parking. Inside was normal Safeway-ware. read more

Just want to express how amazing their hot food section staff are working with the American Red Cross preparing individually packaged meals for fire evacuees! These guys are the best! read more

It's a clean Safeway with the advantage of being open 24 hours, which is nice because it can be a mad house in the parking lot at peak times. I avoid this location at peak times because of this. Getting into/out of the lot can be a challenge, and it is compounded by being on a busy corner with a drug store and gas station nearby. The offerings are pretty consistent across the board, though: deli, booze, produce. You know the drill. On the plus side, this location has the self-checkout lanes that are usually open and so you're less likely to get stuck in line behind 37 HSU kids grocery shopping and breaking up the tab 16 different ways in varying amounts. They do have a Starbucks inside, if you need a coffee fix. read more

All of the staff is so friendly and helpful! All employees wear masks, and they're cleaning the belts in between customers. If you forget your mask they're right on it offering you one! read more

I have to reading a lot of reviews about the store I'll give it one star till I read better reviews it's a shame the way the employees treat customers read more

This is my closest grocery store. I like it. It's clean and well lit. The employees are always friendly. I sometimes shop for others (Instacart) and I'm under time pressure when I do. One of the employees helped me find items and then even opened a register just for me! My only complaint is the parking lot; it's horrible. There's a blind spot as you come around the corner from Harrison and they always have the excess shopping carts stores right there. read more

This Safeway is oh so shiny! There is a Starbucks located inside (major win!) and the store itself has a plethora of anything and everything you could ever need or want. My boyfriend and I watched this place being built up over a series of visits to Humboldt county and we were excited to finally explore it when it was put up. If you're looking for shiny new carts (with those cool attachments children can ride in), coffee, flowers, and groceries, check out this Safeway. read more

Familiarity while away from home. Great Co Ops are fine establishments, but there are times when you just can't get everything there. At this Safeway, you'll find- * Open 24hrs/ Clean store / Friendly staff / Self-Checkouts / Plenty of parking / and a pharmacy. read more

Never, never get any "produce" from this place- it rots at the rate of knots! The so called organic is even worse! The girls at the flower department are lazy, disgustingly rude and not very helpful! They could ruin your mood to buy flowers and fend you away. The flowers itself are poor quality! Finally they need more cashiers and more self checkouts that actually work!! If you think I am bashing- go and check it out yourself! read more

Why would you put your dipping dots container after your registers? After someone has already gone through the entire store and payed?? We drove 30 miles to find dipping dots and had to settle for some other ice cream in the ice cream isle because we thought this store didn't carry it, ONLY for us to see the freezer on our way out next to a lottery machine. HORRIBLE STORE DISPLAY, such a simple task to put dipping dots next to the ice cream isle. It would take five minutes to move the freezer to the correct location. This is the only safety I've seen that puts the freezer after the register. Very disappointed, ruined our night. As well as not so friendly cashiers. read more

Again, the parking is kind of dangerous for customer walking around with bags. oh, there is a Starbucks in here, check it out. read more

Safeway - cars parked outside a safeway store - Grocery Near Me - Eureka, California

Came back a year later and the same dismal situation in the parking lot. Doesn't look like the Albertsons ownership is going to make any changes outside or inside. Woeful best describes the whole store and layout. read more

This place isn't any good. The parking lot stinks...its terrible. Beef from all over the world...what is wrong with American beef? The thing that pisses me off the most about this market is that there is never enough cashiers working. And, if you ar buying beer, you cant use self checkout. Anyway, I live close by...and I go there in a jam(last night I needed some sour cream). But, I generally avoid this place for my bigger grocery shopping trips. read more

Safeway - Ohh safeway apples....why do you glow? - Grocery Near Me - Eureka, California

The parking lot is awful. It has a terrible layout. Really can be dangerous. I don't know why there is such a problem, but it makes most sense to enter by the Walgreens on Harrison, and park in the back corner. Avoid the crazy dictated lane directions. As for the store. It is good. Tends to be on the expensive side. I try to use the Club card on everything and that brings the cost down. There is another discount method called U, but I have difficulty using that. There is rarely more than 2 registers open, but there is self-checkout. Sometimes this will lead to long lines. A deli and Starbucks (that closes at 8) are also present. They generally have everything you need. 24 hours operating hours are great. Store is, like I said expensive, but it is on the higher income side of town. read more

i always go to Safeway for there sandwiches, sometimes they wouldn't use the right size of bread but now it's every time i go in there they are doing it... im very disappointed. read more

This store was very nice. Visiting the area I was happy to find that they had a grocery store that I have a home. I love Safeway because they have great prices and I always save a decent amount with their app. This store looked new and the employees were all friendly. Everyone had on mask which is always a plus. They had arrows directing the flow of traffic but no one followed it and it was not enforced. I was surprised to see a full liquor section that was fully stocked. The store was stocked at a decent level and I was only unable to find one item that I was looking for. The check out process was pretty quick for a 11 am trip on a weekday the cashier was friendly and made small talk. The best part of this Safeway is their Starbucks. The Starbucks was better than stand alone Starbucks. Both baristas on shift were extremely friendly and the older gentleman was an expert drink maker. I wish I could take them home to my local Starbucks. read more

This Safeway has great service. Taylor the blonde cashier was so helpful and nice! She is hilarious and made my Safeway experience wonderful. There is a lot more stuff at this Safeway than the one in Arcata and the staff are much more helpful. I think all staff members should be like Taylor. read more

Delivery service is mediocre at best. You may or may not get all the items you ordered. You may get charged for the items you didn't get. Keep a close eye or your receipts. If you get charged for something you didn't get, then you have to call the store to complain. You may or may not get a refund. I like the idea of home delivery but the way Safeway Eureka is doing it, customers are just getting ripped off. And the delivery charge is usually $9.95 a delivery! read more

I love coming here on my lunches, there's no we're else with fast and excellent customer service especially when Becky J. is holding the fort down she always has a positive attitude and a good work ethic I definitely see a big difference when she's there and if your looking for someone that cares about her customers then she's definitely the to talk to! read more

Decent Safeway, probably because it's newer. Clean and the staff are friendly enough. I'm not really a fan of Safeway in general but this one is pretty good. 3 stars for a Safeway is the equivalent of 5 stars anywhere else. Safeway's prices are too high at any location, the selection of food is largely unhealthy, etc. I do like that this location is within walking distance of my house however. Just about 2.5 miles with a few good hills in the mix. Good place to stumble late on a Saturday night, and you don't have to walk through bad neighborhoods to get to it. read more

Today after hunting around looking for food we went to Safeway I wanted a sandwich so I asked the clerk if the Dutch crunch was made that day and with a smart ass comment he said usually is. So he made my sandwich on a stale at least day old (if not 2) roll when I got back to my hotel it was hard as a rock had to throw the bread away and eat it without. read more

Safeway is taking steps to fix some issues. The parking lot is much better. I appreciate the manager calling to talk to me. I wish they could post security personal .... But understand they are a grocery store not a security agency. I'm shopping here again but very mindful of who is around me and keep car locked. read more

The sushi is not that bad but overpriced and get it early in the day after midnight it's just not right best if someone is working there so you can ask them to make yours fresh read more

April 30, 2017 update--Beware of the Safeway guacamole. I have enjoyed this product often over the past few months but I just opened a tub that was disgustingly stringy. OMG it was gross. It even had a few of those hard nasty stem fragments that one usually plucks off before splitting an avocado in two. read more
