While in town for few weeks, Safeway was my go to store for my grocery needs. I would recommend you check their weekly flyer to see what's on sale, than compare that with flyers from other stores. You gotta shop around to get the best value. While the prices on meats, produce were on the higher point, the bread, eggs, etc were decently priced. However, one side effects of a store on an island, their shelves are usually empty on a regular basis. Not sure if this is due to shipping or stocking issues. You can find an item one week, the next it's not there, just be mindful of this, thus if you think you need something and it's there, buy it. I also appreciate that they have a lot of Asian products, which is welcoming especially being so far away from the mainland. read more

I went to Safeway at 11:54 and they don't close till 12:00 I had a whole 6 minutes I knew exactly what I needed and Jennifer still wouldn't let me in I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they lock the doors at 11:50 I told her what I needed and it was one thing and she shut the door in my face and walked away she was very rude read more

This review is purely for the Safeway Chinese Food. IT SUCKED! My aunt who now lives in Ketchikan, and my husband who is visiting, are both avid fans of Safeway Chinese across the greater Tacoma area in WA state. They really did not believe that Safeway could make bad Chinese... I mean if you like Safeway Chinese you have a specific taste you're going for, right? Both my aunt and husband refused to finish their food... it was THAT BAD. Something needs to change with this place- Safeway Chinese is a staple in all communities... this is a disgrace to Ketchikan. Other than that, this Safeway is really nice. read more

I think this is one of very few grocery stores in the town. I came here for the Starbucks to get my Alaska cup and I noticed the beautiful caramel apples and fall themed cakes in the bakery. Seems like a decent grocery store. read more

Service was TERRIBLE AND RACIST! Employees was very rude and watched me and my partner at the self check out like a hawk! She also doesn't have any manners and instead of saying "excuse me" or hello how can I help you she said "let me in here" and "what are you trying to do". Mind you there was other guest in line that she should've been watching as well. I highly recommend them hiring someone who can accept people for who they are based off of their character and not their skin tone. I was able to find everything that I needed however, I was very uncomfortable at checkout. read more

This is one of Three places you can get groceries Alaskan&Proud is Second the Third being Walmart but only because technically they have Some grocery items but Super Store they are not. Being open until midnight and being the closest to downtown is what makes them 4star. read more

Decent grocery store in Ketchikan. Alaska grocery - some items out of stock, others not. Easy to get alternatives in most cases as per a walk through we made acquiring a couple items. Less than a mile up from the piers. We needed an energy drink fix & got one! read more

The oaken barrel is a terrible place to shop. I went in there tonight to buy some wine. The girl who waited on us was so rude it is shocking that anyone shops there. Be aware if you walk in with anyone not only will you have to give your ID but they want the other persons ID as well. My husband had walked in with our daughter but she went outside after picking her wine. The rude girl said I need her ID as well as yours. She was so terribly rude and took the bottles back so he left the store. He went right next door and bought the wine for less money and was treated nicely. He went back to Safeway and told her they lost a sixty dollar purchase because she was so rude. She told him I don't care at all. He asked to speak to her manager who also did not care either. How do people like this stay in business. Shame on Safeway for treating their customers so rudely. Don't shop here for any liquor needs. read more

What brought us here all the way from the cruise port?! Starbucks! Yes, my cousins were craving Starbucks, so we walked all the way to Safeway to get some. I, however, wanted to buy some water and soda, so Safeway was a great place to pick up some things we forget to bring onto our cruise ship. If you want some snacks, miscellaneous toiletries, etc, you'll probably find them here. If you end up buying drinks like we did and don't want to walk all the way back, there is a free shuttle back to downtown. We didn't take it, but there's a bus stop along the main road. So for items you may have forgotten to bring, it's worth the mile or so walk. And for my cousins, I guess Starbucks is worth walking over a mile! read more

We also came here from the cruise ship as there's no Starbucks closer. But so glad I did. Kaitlyn could not have been nicer. You are just exactly what extraordinary customer service is all about. Thank YOU.The lady with ALL the tea. read more

I have lived in ketchikan for 20 years and for the last ten years Safeway has been the worst store on the island. Poorly stalked shelves, sale items rarely stalked, not marked as on sale or doesnt ring up as on sale. bad customer service and never enough checkers. It always seems like a garage sale for food when trying to shop there. Never easy of a good experience when shopping there and i will try to shop there as little as possible, however we live on an island where there are only two grocery stores, so it is sometimes a place where we must shop but only as a last resort. read more

1. Good prices for food and you can find everything you want 2.High speed internet 3.Employees are helpfull It`s a good place to spend your time when you don`t have a lot of money :) read more

Every time I get groceries I have to bag them or box them myself. The people they have working there don't know how to bag or box groceries. If you're off the island and are shopping bag your OWN groceries! They don't know how to put the heavy items on the bottom of the boxes and if you get it bagged they mix meats with cleaners or fruits with some meats. This time I'm pretty upset, my strawberries (I bought 4 organic bins, @$6.99 a bin) were all squished, she put the strawberry bins on the bottom of the box and they all got squished, strawberry juice all over my other groceries! Mshe piled my celery and carrots on top of them, it also squished my tomatoes and peaches.. They need better trainers. I'm completely upset my perishable groceries were destroyed! Bag or box your own things! read more

The lady named JAN in the floral department was fantastic today. She took an order for Valentines Day to have it delivered to my son at his high school and she was so friendly , kind and helpful. I was very happy with her grand customer service. Oh if All customer service people were that sweet , the world would be a happier place ! Thankyou Jan !!! read more

Oaken Keg sucks! They have this new rule apparently that whoever is with the person purchasing liquor has to. How their ID as well. Ludicrous! First off, I'm am way over 21 and that's obvious, am not purchasing it, and I don't even drink (not that they would know that). But tell me why? So a mother brings her kid with her to buy liqueur. The kid will have to whip out his ID? Girl at register says it's been in effect for 6 years. Why is it that only THIS girl has asked for this twice, nobody else there? And only this year, not in the past 5? So they have me in camera? Doing what exactly? Helping someone shop for liquor? Insane!! Call the cops and have me arrested for being a bystander then! read more
