I would be very careful getting anything from the Deli, I just watched the lady (Anette) that works here serve 2 people from the cold case (salads) without putting on gloves, before serving them she was on the back, who knows what she was doing back there and she didn't even go to the sink and wash her hands. After that she went back into the back to do whatever and came out to cut cold cuts for someone else this time she had gloves on but did not change them, did not wash her hands again.... Definitely going someplace else to get my cold cuts. Almost forgot, when I told customer service they said they will need to let the manager know and then went back into the office and never called anyone to go take care of this.... 20 minutes later she is still doing the same thing and no one cares enough to send the manager over to stop it fro continuing. read more

I placed an order online for delivery on Sunday November 24th. The order was supposed to be delivered between 7:00 to 9:00pm. I received an email at 8:41pm that my order is delayed. That is the only message I received that night. On Monday the 25th I called customer service to try to get a status update on the order and was on hold for an hour. I got tired of waiting and hung up. I tried to do an online chat but that was more of a waste of time than the phone call. I did not hear from anyone. I called again on Tuesday the 26th and after about 5 minutes I finally got someone. I was told that all they can do is cancel the order. I was placed on hold and then Manteca Safeway tried to call me. Of course I know it is because customer service informed them that they forgot about my order. At this point I did not want to talk to them. I was told that my refund would be given within 5 to 7 days. I was upset with that because of the holidays and I told the customer service rep, "what if this was all the money I had". It was an inconvenience to me. This was the stores fault and nothing was done to compensate or make up for the inconvenience. They wasted no time taking my $186.00. But I wouldn't get a refund for 5 to 7 days. What I feel should have happened is the order should have been delivered with an apology note and a discount on the order. But I guess customers or I am not important. I will not be placing anymore orders with Manteca Safeway. read more

I went in to get a deli sandwich. 2 employees were working the deli counter and there were no other customers. Both employees started arguing over who would help me. Apparently it was not their "job" or they were too "busy". I left without buying anything and went to Save Mart where a very nice person made my sandwich and it was $1 cheaper. I know where I am going next time. read more

WARNING do not eat sandwiches from this location. The deli case had a roach scurry across the sandwich board as we were waiting for service, and it's no wonder, the sandwich board was disgusting covered in food and condiments, and they had a wet brown dirty rag that had been used multiple times to clean the station. The onions had black tips on them from what I can only assume was further contamination. The prep station also had severe black mold along the chilling table that holds the meats and veg for the sandwiches. It was fuzzy black mold, and the inside of the metal table was absolutely covered in it. You can tell they haven't cleaned this thing in a long time (like months). Someone is going to get seriously sick, they should be worried. Save yourself and your family from food poisoning, don't purchase sandwiches or premade food from this Safeway, or check the table yourself when you go in, it will probably still be covered in a thick layer of mold. Wish I would have gotten pictures, it was really something. read more

Do better. I'm at safe way and a little dog just entered even tho theres a sign that's says "service dogs only" and the employees didn't care??? What happened to service dogs only??? Business are allowed to ask 2 questions to customers and those are "is that a service dog?" And "what is it trained for" any place that sells food shouldn't allow dogs read more

Cashier Britany was very rude. Would rather chitchat with her coworker and male customer. I was looking at the screen making sure they were the right price didn't realize her coworker started bagging, she saw my bag on the cart and then stopped scanning, and said next time put it on the belt, we didn't know you had one. So she proceeded to throw my things from the belt. Didn't even tell me she was done scanning just stood there staring. Maybe next time ask the customer if they wanted bags before bagging them like everywhere else i've been to, and maybe pay attention to your job instead of chatting. Spending 50 for a few items I expect better customer service! I usually do self checkout at this place. And this is why! read more

Just went there to buy sushi rice the guy that makes sushi said Safeway don't sell it there went home and ordered it on Amazon won't bother going back to Safeway to look for special items read more

This is one of the worst stores I've ever been in. Management and staff are incompetent and they expect you to check yourself out. On a busy Saturday they only have one check stand open outside of self checkout at noon. Pricing is outrageous and service sucks. Save Mart is much better store. read more

Danny is the best. My coworkers and i come over here everyday and Danny is the best worker they have!!! i would not keep coming here if he wasn't here! he makes the best drinks and is so so friendly!! i think he deserves a raise actually because y'all wouldn't be here without him. read more

If you guys are going to lower the quality of the plastic bags then you should lower the price to what a rip off! Bags are much thinner than before. Corporate greed! read more

This place use to be my go to for custom cakes and fried chicken. First off, they couldn't make my cake due to a shortage of strawberries and then each inside topping in 10 dollars plus the price of a custom cake total 70+!? Then advertise fried chicken and don't have any at 10am? But you can't cook them any earlier? This place is a joke, save your time and money. Please visit your local Savemart instead. read more

Ladies at the sandwich counter could be a bit friendlier! You know, treat customers like fellow human beings, instead of absolute morons! Same goes for the guys at the meat counter in the back! read more

I cannot believe I just paid $3.47 for four apples! This store is a complete rip off! I wish I had time to go somewhere else tonight, but my kid needs them for school tomorrow. Safeway, you have lost a customer for life! read more

Safeway - Grocery Near Me - Manteca, California

The only reason why they're getting one star is because they won't let me give them zero stars so 7 PM I came in to get a little can for my mom I sent there for over 10 to 15 minutes at first until I called on my own cell phone to the curtaincy desk to request someone to come and help me and other customers that had been waiting. Manager Misty walked up already have an attitude and explain to her and been there how long and all I wanted was a cake and what she said to me was well the bakeries close and I have worked in a safe way and I have never told a customer all we can't help you just because the bakery is closed Manager sent us there we help them the best we could and we had them happy when they left. Continue to tell me how she's never worked in that department but I know the all managers if needed have to go where they're needed so the fact that you don't know or even or aware of what is in the star shame on you I think you need to go back to training and the fact that when I told her I worked at a Safeway I hear that she clown complaining saying that I was rude but all I wanted to do was purchase a cake and when I asked her what kind of cake that was inside her reply was I don't know I told you I don't work in the bakery. Again you're in management so if you are that way then your staff will be that way correct. Her other reply was oh that's how you talk to people I said well I've been standing here waiting and you're not very accommodating and I'm not the only one they had been waiting management or somebody in the store had been called several times and nobody had came over. Let me remind you the store was not even busy at all there was not one line it was very very empty so I don't understand why we couldn't get somebody over there sooner. I would rather go to a save Mart or Raleys which I will do from now on just because the way I was treated 7 PM I remind you and the Bakery was already closed. So thank you Misty for making my experienced the shittiest experience I've ever had and again Misty I think you should be retrained read more

Wow!!! The service in this particular store has REALLY REALLY gone south!!!! Too bad it's a pretty store but your staff makes it easy to shop elsewhere Even though Yelp wants me to keep adding to this, there isn't much to say! Get your service up to match your over priced items & the review will go up! Or you can lower the prices to match the lower quality of service. Your choice Safeway read more

I don't shop here much but I came in on Tuesday night when Francisco was working cashier and this guy has a sense of humor that not only made my night but made me want to shop here more. Give this guy a raise because he's probably the best cashier I've ever happened upon in my 28 years. Great people person and I feel like the short encounter I had with him definitely made shopping there memorable. Kudos read more

This is the worst place ever l.. I will never go here ever again they have so many homeless in the front of the store.. nasty foods never shop here.. when I went to deli or even has a cashier Britany has always been good to me wish she would come back read more

Who does reviews for grocery stores?! Um, ME! Love how they are open on holidays especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. My sister is big on procrastination so this is her place for when she needs something ASAP-Super last minute- T-minus seconds before her big party comes up. She lives down the street and I am her messenger to pick up groceries for her. Parking is never a problem. Carts are always available. Small-town customers are always nice (smiling at you when you pass them at the aisles), produce are all tended and well put out, and this place is ginormous. Will choose this over Walmart (which is located next door --but who cares)! Btw, Safeway (and affiliates) has a j4u app which helps you save some $$ here and there. Everytime you earn 50 (equivalent to $50) you save .10/1 gal in your next gas trip. I've also earn cool rewards like free Starbucks, $10 off my next purchase of $40, etc. Just a nifty way of saving some bucks while your already buying stuff you need. Keep it up Safeway, Manteca! read more

It's clean. Staff are prompt and friendly. Enough parking lots. The stocks are Pretty much Filled and well put. read more

I stopped shopping there a year ago I went in for there for Top Sirloin Steak on sale the Meat Manager was out there I picked up a package of steaks and asked him if he would put one more steak in the package but I said I wanted extra thick He told me no we can't do that I had planned to buy all my dinner fixing at your store But with such bad service I threw the meat package down and I've never been back at least Save Mart always says yes to my requests You could learn from those guys read more

Safeway has an amazing floral area. Really pretty flowers & balloons at a reasonable price. I went in looking for an orchid plant to give as a gift. They had a really good selection, ranging from small to really big arrangements. I found the perfect white orchid, & went over to the register located within the floral area. Haley rings me up, gives me my total. I give her the money, she gives me my change, & then turns her head & starts talking to whoever is besides her. I didn't get a thank you/have a nice day, or was asked if I needed a box for the orchid or anything. I didn't even know if the transaction was done. I stuffed my change into my purse, grabbed my orchid & walked away. As I was walking, I looked at my boyfriend & told him, that was rude. He completely agreed. read more

Safeway manteca. This place is still under construction. Nothing much different with other safeway stores. Less crowd coz it looks like they're not open yet from outside. But they're. read more

Horrified. This store is NOT practicing the COVID safety and cleaning precautions. Not wiping down carts, point of sale devices or counters, not cleaning the self check out. Some staff weren't even wearing masks. Not surprised this county has a high case rate. read more

This Safeway store just got a face lift outside but really need it inside! Not happy with in stock conditions and selections. Need to offer more meals or ways to prepare and offer healthier meal ideas. Manteca has so many new Bay Area people who are looking for better for you selections and service! Please revamp this store and give us more quality to choose from! read more

What a horrible Safeway. I had a really bad experience with a cashier today. I forgot to buy 1 item after doing self checkout, so I grabbed it and saw that the self checkout line was pretty long so decided to go to the 15 item check stand. There was 2 people in front of me in line waiting to be helped. A new cashier opened up next to them so he grabbed the next person in line. As I was waiting I noticed the cashier in my line was helping a woman who clearly already checked out and had over 50 items at least. From what I gathered a coupon was not working, the correct thing to do was to go to customer service and have them help out when the lines are crazy long. Well that's what the cashier should have done. She looked at me and the other person waiting in line and just walked out of her stand back and fourth to the customer service. Not once did she say I'll be right with you or that she was closed. After waiting 5 minutes the cashier comes back from customer service and said I'm closed. I asked why she didnt tell us before while watching us wait for so long. Instead of an apology she said well my lights off. What horrible customer service. She was helping customers in line with the light off the whole time yet that was her excuse instead of the correct thing which was to apologize and just ring the last two people up who only had 1 item each, especially after waiting in line. I've actually worked in supermarkets and none of them would have ever been so unfriendly or have such a huge lack of customer service. I live local and use this Safeway often and notice many of the workers here are not very friendly. The woman who cleans the carts upfront when you enter is pretty rude too. I have been entering the store without a mask for the past few times and no one ever says anything, and so many people also enter and this woman never says anything to them. This past time I was leaving the store a black man was entering and this woman said very rudely and loud to him "you cant come in you don't have a mask" he looked at me and my niece leaving and stated well they do not have masks on, so this woman lied and said they did when they entered. Like I mentioned earlier, she let's almost everyone in without a mask so why target this one man and then lie about why she singled him out. I'm hoping management sees this complaint and has a talk with there staff, this is really bad customer service and I'm pretty sure someone will complain to corporate and they will have a bigger issue on their hands. read more

Terrible lines! Last few times I've been here they have only 1 cashier and a long line. Pretty ridiculous! Guess they are wanting us to shop someplace else and that's what I have been doing. Losing business.... read more

Francisco is very professional and helpful. He definitely makes my shopping experience more pleasant.

Since I moved to the Central Valley it has been hard to find friendly customer service but Francisco at this Safeway is always really nice and helpful. This one of the main reasons I frequently visit this location bc I know that they try their best to accommodate their customers. read more

This review is for the deli. Came in after work around 6:30 and went to the counter to get some cold cuts. Stood waited no acknowledgement from the clerks. Finally walked down to the other end still no acknowledgement from the older white haired woman at the counter. I guess the other clerk saw I wasn't going away and finally asked me if I needed help. I just moved to the area. I won't be back. I'll drive over to Raleys. read more

I moved to Manteca a year ago and this is the closest grocery store to my house. In Stockton I stopped shopping at Safeway because the lines were so horrible that every time I ran in to grab a couple things I would be there at least 45 minutes. So I was reluctant to go to this smaller location. This smaller location always is well stocked. I always find what I need. I have always found it cleaner than the Stockton location. And even at peak times I have never had to wait a long time in line. I come here frequently now! I couldn't give five stars because of the parking lot situation! I hope Safeway considers building a new store South of 120, all the new homes need a grocery store closer to them and having a parking lot away from Walmart and easier to access would be better for this store! read more

When is yelp going to allow us to give a rating of zero stars? We've encounter two bad experiences back to back (Separate visits of course). One from the front end manager Donna (I believe that was her name) & another from a cashier name Anita. Both were extremely rude and the situations were similar but the worst experience was from the manager herself! We approached the registered with our items that were on sale (Safeway Club card) for .99 cents. ME: Hi, do you double coupons here? MANAGER: No we don't do that in California! That's fine, I have good hearing you didn't need to add some extra character (attitude) to your response. ME: Can I get a raincheck on this item? (Holding one toothpaste in my hand which was on sale for .99 with the Safeway club card) MANAGER: I can't give you a rain check if the item is still in stock. MY FIANCE: You expect us to keep coming back for one? (This was the second time we tried purchasing their deal but there were always only one on the floor) ME: The box is damaged and I know it's just the box but I don't feel comfortable purchasing it, and there was only one left. MANAGER: Ahh, ok. *Shrugs shoulders & laughs* After my transaction of two items I entering my club card number & handed her two manufactured coupon for .25 cents off. She turned to look at my fiance and said "Wow! What are you guys doing with all the money that you save? Are you going some where?!" Then asked us if we had a coupon for the item we requested a raincheck for. We replied, "Yes." She made some rude remarks about all these people coming in to purchase the toothpaste in large quantities and what are we going to do with all of the toothpaste. To be honest, why would you pass up a great deal on a product you need? Who wouldn't want toothpaste for .50 cents a tube compared to practically $3 dollars which it is normally? To make a long story and a terrible experience short, as we were walking out she said quite loudly, "Somebody will buy this!" and laughed. (Regarding the damaged box of toothpaste) The situation could have been handed differently. I was not expecting this from a manager. With a position like that you should be used to questions because who would know the policy better than the manager themselves? read more

My wife and I shop here only when we have to. We live down the street but go to Trader Joe's in Modesto every Saturday to do our shopping. It's much cheaper, much better food, and the help is much nicer. I've never been impressed with the prices at Safeway. I love when they mark down my favorite Dave's Killer Bread from $5.99 to $3.99, like that's a deal.. Anyway, the other day I came here before going to work around 7:30am. Self check-out was not open yet, although two employees were standing in that area, so I, along with several others had to wait in line while a single register was open. 5 minutes later, I was out with my Hallmark card, shaking my head, not knowing why I even bother going there.. read more

I used to come here all the time when I was younger but before it was Pak n' Save before it turned into Safeway. Every time I used to come here, I would literally go straight to the bakery section where they used to give out free cookies. If they didn't have any free cookies out, I would ask one of the workers to give me one lol. Also, they had the best binder paper here. Way better than Walmart, Office Depot, and Target. I'm very picky when it comes to paper because I don't like the dark recycled paper and the one they sold here, it was literally the perfect binder paper I've ever seen so I stocked up. Now that it's Safeway, it looks a lot better interior wise. They finally have a Starbucks here and a Blockbuster box. It seriously is more of a quality than quantity grocery store unlike Food 4 Less. read more

I love when you need help in the bakery, the employees act like you are inconveniencing them. Shout out to great customer service..

If it wasnt for the wonderful ladies at the starbucks inside, i would never shop here. They make it worth going in. They always greet you, remember your drink and how to make it and even go as far to remember things about you and your family. They give the store the warm feeling that the rest of the establishment is lacking. This is the only Safeway Ive ever shopped at where I have (on multiple occasions) had to bag my own groceries. Please do not get me started on their deli... you will wait 20 minutes for a sandwich and then be told that they are out of stuff or will realize when you get home your sandwich is made wrong. read more

Used to love shopping at this store... when I found out about their delivery service I took advantage given the crazy hours I work. I ordered all of the food I needed to prepare my family a Thanksgiving Neal, and low and behold at 5:30pm the day before I get a call letting me know that "nope, not getting my order". "They are too busy".... then why offer the service?? Why?? Parents like me rely and find respite with services like this.... don't falsely advertise. Then you try to make it up to me by offering me $30.00 credit??! Are you out of your mind?? I can't even feed my family with $30.00 a day!! Way to go SafeWay!! read more

Produce at this store can't be beat. A lot of local produce - corn is as good as the corn at the roadside stands. Fresh, plentiful and reasonable. I can also fine a good mushroom selection that I cannot find elsewhere. The deli has a good selection of different cheeses that are difficult to find in the other stores in town. I have to also praise the full serve meat and seafood counter. Where else can I buy .25'lbs of hamburger or 2 slices of bacon or 1 filet of wild salmon - only here. My only negative is the lack of frozen onion ring selection and almost non- existent low or no sodium canned beans. But really, my go to store for produce, read more
