Be careful when shopping at this store, it's dangerous and  not maintained.
Mike L.

This store is dirty, over priced and half the employees are rude and unprofessional. Do yourself a solid and shop elsewhere. Ps if you get hurt here good luck, their insurance carrier will blame you and leave you permanently disabled with no recourse. Great job Safeway!!!!

A Safeway that's actually clean, well-managed, with friendly employees, and short lines? I must be dreaming! This Novato store is easily the nicest Safeway I've been to in Marin County. I usually shop at the Mill Valley locations. Each of those stores has huge challenges, and I dread shopping there. But this Novato store has a totally different look and feel. The food is well presented. Employees come up to you and ask if you need help finding anything. There aren't 10 senior citizens ahead of you in line who are trying to figure out their pin number and/or redeeming coupons. I came in recently to pick up post-surgery meds for my mother and a few other food/home items. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes! The Safeway is located in a lovely shopping center which boasts great businesses like Super Duper Burger, Sourdough & Co., Toast Restaurant, CycleBar, In 'n Out, and a few other appealing shops/food establishments. There's plenty of free parking in the lot, and you're close to the freeway. Bada-boom Bada-bing. Easy peasy. If I lived closer to Novato, I'd shop at this Safeway all the time!

DO NOT BUY MEAT FROM THIS STORE!! HEATH CODE VIOLATIONS ALL AROUND. I find it quit interesting that my review has removed. Well, since I just had to take back more rotten food that I bought from the meat department yesterday, I'll just refresh your memory. For some reason this store fails to put of quality meat. The chicken I have bought here over the years is down right disgusting and I have the pictures to prove it. After speaking with the manager on multiple different occasions and calling corporate nothing has changed but the manager. Now they are selling rotten fish. $23 for three pieces of rotten catfish. Crazy! Then the company goes so far as to cover up there issue by removing reviews showing how nasty and unsanitary they are. Shameful. I've got a video, that yelp won't let me post, of a whole chicken I bought that was rotting from the inside. Legit looked like it had cancer or something.

Whenever I place an order at the deli, the worker named Jaime tends to make mistakes with every…read moreorder. It's difficult to trust that I will receive the correct sandwich when he is working. It takes him 30 minutes to prepare two deli sandwiches, which would be acceptable if the sandwiches were made according to my original requests. Additionally, when he adds ingredients, I often receive very small portions, such as just two tiny onions... I'll not be returning to this deli as there are other businesses that offer better service and actually get my order correct. It's sad because luckys deli used to be once in good standing. Too bad. Here's a photo for reference. I ordered to have everything on this sandwich. This is what I got.

I started going to Lucky because the other major chain has become a sh*t show…read more Prices are about the same as expected. There was a huge turnover a year or so ago. The customer service has completely suffered. The last 2 visits (a week apart) one checker, long lines and the expected problems at self check. The sole checker had to come and clear my issue. The issue was cod, with an expiration date 3 days from purchase. As I was running it over the scanner I could smell the rancid fish. The lone checker had to come refund and go back to his long lines. Today, again one checker. Asked if I wanted paper or plastic. I said I brought bags. She finished my order, handed my receipt and went to the next customer. I guess it's my job to bag groceries? I usually help but this was solely me. Honestly! This place is awful.
