Of coarse we enjoy the Farmer's Market in Hanford... one of the benefits of living in the central…read morevalley is the farm fresh produce. Hanford puts on a decent Farmer's Market, with plenty of fruit/veggie vendors, street food vendors, local businesses, and activities for the kiddos. The local farmers are out and we enjoy coming out. Highlights (things we always enjoy): Baba Foods: Great greek foods you can take home to enjoy. Pits bread, pita chips, dips, hummus. YUM! Free samples. Smoke Joint: Pulled pork in a WAFFLE! Need I say more! Sanchez Corn: Elote!!! You just have to get some of the roasted corn, slathered with cheese and spices. You'll see everyone walking around the market with them. Shaved Ice: As the summer rolls on, this will be a popular place, so get in line early. Bentos: You just have to get a loaded potato... or they have the elote in a bowl should you want to try it, but have sensitive teeth. Horse Rides, Petting Zoo: I could just stand and watch the bunnies the whole evening if my hubby would let me. The little kids love the horse rides. Speaking of horse rides... The Carousel: Of coarse the carousel is open and running. Live Bands: Go in and have a seat and listen to the live music. All the farmer's market staples are also here: The jam lady, the honey person, the cheese people, the nut guy, the candied nuts, the Scentsy lady, the local radio station KFUN. It's all here. Funnel cakes, churros, that giant orange you see driving around town. Sometimes the donut guy is here, kettle corn, and I haven't even started talking about the produce. Cherries, berries, oranges, peaches, carrots, beets, onions, greens... it's all here and organized nicely. So, you can't go wrong, come on out on Thursdays for a lot of family fun. The Hanford Thursday Night Market Place is a great way to get out, sample the best of the local community, you'll always bump into friends, it's just a nice farmer's market.

So today I decided to try out the Acai Bar for the 1st time. I opted to go with a crowd favorite…read moreaccording to Yelp reviews and got the OG Bowl. I called in my order and spoke with a pleasant, courteous and professional employee. He quoted my order to be ready within 5-10 minutes which I don't feel was a bad wait time. I've been inside the building before and I like that it's always fresh inside with nice decor throughout. They are always very welcoming. I really like the sincere "hello" and eye contact upon entering.. unlike other places that do that yet out of habit or being mandated by management. Enough said. Pros: the bowl was prepared before my eyes with fresh fruit. I truly enjoyed the taste of the granola, mixed with the açaí base, peanut butter and fruit. I will definitely be back! Cons: perhaps a bigger portion container. I get everything is expensive nowadays and they too had to increase their prices as any business should but I believe the portion for $9 can be a bit larger.

Hanford Açaí Bar is honestly one of those spots you end up craving again the moment you leave. The…read moreaçaí bowls are super fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor--everything tastes bright, cold, and perfectly balanced, like it was made with real care instead of rushed out. The staff is also so amazing. They're genuinely kind, welcoming, and patient, and you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. Even when it's busy, they still manage to make you feel seen and taken care of, which makes the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is what really makes it stand out. It's cozy, clean, and super inviting. There's even a couch where you and your friends can sit back, hang out, and relax, plus board games you can actually play while you're there. It makes the place feel less like a quick stop and more like a fun little hangout spot where you can stay a while. DEFINITELY a must try if you're new to Hanford!!

I just wanted to leave a review to say I've never had anything but great experiences at this Save Mart! The employees are all friendly and provide great service, and I enjoy the shopping experience there. The only reason I don't go more often is because it's very expensive. They have the best produce in town that is fresh and consistent. Love my Hanford Save Mart!

Although I've never considered this a grocery store with low prices, they used to be one of the…read morebest when it came to friendliness and overall customer service. Their prices are still higher than most, but the redeeming quality of exceptional customer service has seemingly disappeared. There are still a few employees who seem to genuinely care, and we appreciate them. My wife and I recently encountered the worst checker we have ever experienced. I'll attempt to describe her: a woman in her late 40s to 50s with longer gray hair, a fuller build, and a demeanor that simply seemed not to care. She never spoke, despite my attempts to offer a friendly greeting. At one point, I even asked if she could hear me. When it became obvious that she wasn't going to bag our groceries or even offer to help, my wife and I ended up bagging all six bags of groceries ourselves. Throughout the entire process, there was absolutely no comment, acknowledgment, or reaction from the checker. We've been customers of this store for nearly 40 years. We've remained loyal despite increasing competition, but disrespectful and indifferent employees are what may finally convince us that it's time to look elsewhere. We're genuinely saddened to see one of our favorite stores decline so significantly in customer service. It's disappointing to see a place we've supported for nearly four decades lose one of the qualities that once made it special.

Yolanda at Smart & Final was wonderful to me tonight. I had a cart full of stuff, and I got up to…read morethe checkstand and started putting things down and then realized I had left my bags in my car. Because I'm 73 and my hands hurt, I have special bags that are easier to carry from my car into the house when I get home, so it was important for me to go get them. My car was in the first handicapped space right in front of the door and I knew it would only take me a second to dash out and get them; there was only one woman behind me so I told her and the checker what happened, had her go ahead and go in front of me, and I ran out for just a few seconds, and hit my bags. But when I came back, there were five people behind her. I was stressed and didn't know what to do because I didn't want to jump the line, but 1/2 of my groceries had gone though the conveyer belt. The checker "Yolanda" saw my distress and leaned over and said to me "it's OK, I've got you, I put your things aside right here next to me and I'll just bring them to you when you get up here". I was so relieved by her kindness I was nearly in tears. When I finally got to her she was even more sweet and patient. She rang me up, bagged my groceries for me, and actually walked around her counter and put my bags into my cart for me. She had noticed that I gave her many more bags than I would need, and when I saw her begin to bag them I'd asked her to please use more of the bags to keep them light because I had a hard time lifting them. So of course (considering the caring heart that I'd already seen she had) she even put them in the cart for me. Yolanda is the epitome of what customer service personnel should be like, but sadly that kind of friendly and helpful service is found less and less often. Smart & Final, my advice is that you should Immediately promote Jessica to training your staff. I've been a manager and have trained staff in varied areas of business, and I'd steal her from you in a second if I wasn't retired. That girl is management material and should at the very least be a training supervisor. She's one in a million.

My issue is with management. 50% of the time that I go there, shopping carts are no where to be found accept out in the parking lot, and when they are in the designated spot, the spot is usually dirty, ugly and it is sad and irritating that people don't take pride on what they do.

This has become my favorite market, and for so many reasons! Here are just a few: the meat…read moredepartment is gorgeous. I know that sounds like a strange word to use for meat on shelves, but everything looks so good and so fresh, and the way they are laid out so neatly it's just very pleasing to the eye. You will see that in my photos. Also the prices are quite reasonable considering nowadays prices. And one more thing that makes the meat department special is that they have nice, thick bags to put the meat in so that they won't bleed all over your other groceries. On top of that, as you'll see in the photos, all of the cuts of meat are listed on the bag, which is really helpful. There are two butchers there who you can ask questions of or have meat sliced or cubed or whatever you want to do with it. Now that's a special service. The other thing I also love about this store is that someone has an eye for design. Every single item on every single shelf is facing forward and perfectly stacked, nothing out of place. They must patrol the place just to tidy up. (I guess I have outed my OCD tendencies with comments on how well everything is stacked and displayed. ) And last but definitely not least was Courtney, my checker. She was not only very friendly and made eye contact with me and smiled to greet me when I approached her check stand, but she was also fast as lightning checking me out, and I was really impressed with that. I do wish there had been a box person there to help box my groceries though, because she and I had to do it, and I am an older lady and I have trouble lifting things. I also would've been nice to have them come out to the car with me and lift them into the car. SaveMart always offers this service and I really appreciate it. Maybe they were just shorthanded today? This is the only reason for the first stars instead of five. And again, take into account they might've been shorthanded that day. The photo with the little green fruit is just because they all looked like they were smiling at me and I thought they were cute. The prices are high for a lot of items but not for all, but so are everyone else's prices.
