Stater Bros is now our one-stop-shop for organic and vegan groceries. It took a few years but they now carry enough to complete our shopping list. We no longer have to hit 3 grocery stores to get everything on the list. I would like to see some better cheeses like the new recipe Daiya cheeses, Kite Hill Ricotta or Miyoko's cheeses. They do carry the original recipe Daiya and the Follow Your Heart cheeses though! They also carry Beyond burgers and sausages as well as Loma Linda products. I would like to see raw cashews in the bulk dispensers and VeganToona. This location has a large butcher, bakery and deli section. If you visit the bakery with a child they can ask and receive a FREE cookie! My teenagers loved this when they were little. They will even ask if your child has allergies for their safety. The staff is always smiling, friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking in their large parking lot. read more

I shop here about once a month and am always impressed with the friendliness and warmth of their entire staff. Last week I showed up with my daughter and told her about how nice everyone is here. So, sure enough, they proved me right at check out, and I said, "See what I mean?" I think they must have excellent management. read more

Stater Bros was always a favorite of mine from way-back. Hadn't been there in years since they aren't in Nevada. I ordered what in the past was my usual. However this time it turned out to be a long wait, and a shuffle from one deli member to another. One took my order and said she had to go in the back to start it. After much waiting when I ask another to confirm the order, she ended up being the one to make it. Not sure what went on there but needless to say, it did not inspire confidence. In my prior experience, the sandwich was made at the front counter, where you chose your ingredients and watched it come together. In the end the sandwich was delivered in a number of small pieces; I was not asked whether I wanted it sliced or whole. Again, in my prior experience, the sandwich was delivered whole unless you requested a number of sliced portions. Again this, sliced presentation, did not inspire confidence. I can't be certain but it seems to me the sandwich bread on this one was smaller than it had been in the past; I'll stop by another Stater Bros to compare, on my Trip to Los Angeles. I had ordered a 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Pastrami so maybe that had something to do with it. I know how difficult it can be for some to do mental-math and divide by 2. The staff was pleasant and helpful, but perhaps a bit disorganized. The store was clean and tidy, and I enjoyed my shopping there. Buen apetito! read more

See all

Why on earth is there only one toilet for people that travel from far places just to shop here .You have to ask permission to use the toilet unbelievable I hate this store for that reason read more

They have the BEST produce in town and the employee Angela is very nice and is always willing to help you I would come for the rest of my life read more

What happened? Did they get a new manager. The cashier was on her cell phone as she haphazardly dumped two hand fulls of my groceries into the top basket of the shopping cart. When I got home, one item was missing, and it was on my receipt. The manager did not even respond to my complaint. Albertsons is plan B. read more

Staters brothers has an excellent selection of baked bread's. The recent one I purchased was a raisin bread double packed. In the past I used to always get the olive loaf Baguette. They're very difficult to find and so I don't look for them anymore. The Bakery personnel will gladly order them or search the freezer for you too. read more

Just did a curbside order. Ordered and paid online. Pulled up to the store and in under 1 minute Hazel came walking out with my groceries. Awesome job Stater Bros. read more

Stater Bros. Markets - Curbside parking! - Grocery Near Me - Ridgecrest, California

This store is fine from a grocery store point of view. My complaint was the number of customers not wearing face masks. Much higher than the other grocery stores in Ridgecrest. Even Home Depot was better. The management needs to enforce the rules better. read more

Would have gotten 5 stars, but when you ask for all flats and they make comments, basically saying it screws other people and all they get are the little drumsticks. Remind you, there were still flats left. read more

I was already extremely impressed with the store, staff, and remodel. Well, talk about above and beyond! I had a chaotic time finding out if someone turned in my lost gift card a few weeks ago. The assistant manager did her best to call corporate and find out info to try to help me maybe cancel before used. And then today, two weeks later, the GM, Mr Miller saw me and asked me about it and someone had turned it in! I'm very grateful! Thank you very much! Small towns and great staff make a great combo. read more

After 11 years, I can no longer shop at this store which is a shame since it has better prices than the competition and is laid out in a way where I can find things. Something has happened to the corporate culture of the place. It's become commonplace for the cashier and bagger to keep up a conversation with each other and not even acknowledge a customer's presence until payment is required. But, what really made up my mind is that the most recent bagger damaged a beautiful bok choi I'd chosen by violently cramming other items into the bag. read more

I like this store because it's always clean and the cashiers tend to be nice and friendly. I don't like that their organic options are very limited and sometimes their selection aren't fresh :( Their butchers are very helpful. read more

Good prices. Good variety. The guy that waited on us didn't have much personality, but then again, I wasn't there to be charmed. I would have liked a little bit of a smile and something like, "Good choice." Got my first tri tip here and a chuck roast. both got rubs, both got grilled. both got eaten. If you live in R/C, this is where I would go consistently for meat. If he doesn't smile and show any pleasantry, don't worry about it. Employee isn't going to cook your food.. read more

Crazy, you can get a damn delicious apple in the middle of the desert, and a little bit disturbing. If you're one of those folks who's determined to eat local, then don't live in a desert. Everything is imported in. I thought about this as I perused the large veggie and fruit selection. If you do live in desert, plan on coming out at night. That's what desert people do. When the sun goes down, and its dark as pitch, folks do their grocery shopping. Or so it seemed in when we stopped by at 8:30pm. The place was packed! All kinds of desert people doing their shopping. It seemed the staff wasn't light either, indicating that they know their busy times might be in the later evening. Although, perhaps it's just because this is probably the largest grocery in Ridgecrest, maybe it's always busy? We stopped here on the way to Gem-O-Rama http://www.yelp.com/biz/gem-o-rama-searles-valley this October. We picked up ice which they had a large coolers of at the front of the store, and we picked two sandwiches, which actually were better then I expected, and better then a Pavillions equivalent. Or maybe it was because we had been wading through brine pools during the Pink Halite field trip http://www.yelp.com/biz/pink-halite-brine-pools-field-trip-searles-valley so we were starving, and anything tasted good after that. Anyway, a place to stop for groceries if you find yourself in Ridgecrest. read more

This place is busy for a reason! + don't need to carry a rewards card + very clean store + nice meat section + customer service + eye candy + sell eco-bags for cheap + organic section for those with fatter wallets + you get to see your friends shopping + workers are constantly "facing" products which gives the store a very neat appearance + they send full color ads every few days to your home - tons of people waiting in line at Alta One Credit Union cashing their paychecks. (it's 2012... try direct deposit or use an ATM?) - parking gets really congested, moreso now with Big Lots - sometimes get harassed by fundraisers at the door - aisles get crowded, so moving a cart around can be a biznatch read more

Reasonable prices and lots of snacks if you are here for work or a trip. Parking lot is usually pretty empty. Feels like 1/3 of the store is alcohol. read more

Normally great disgusted by amount of shoppers allowed maskless I won't be back to your germ factory!

This is a really Nice grocery. Nice bathroom, Helpful staff, good merchandise. A pleasant store. As the world gets more stressful, it matters more to me that I should be Pleased by the Vendors attitude as much as the purchase. read more

You better hope you don't have a complaint about the stater brothers market because the manager is an absolute jerk he makes you feel small and stupid and dumb and if you're older than 25 he makes you feel like a senior citizen who is senile.Don't get me wrong we shop there all the time it's one of the few places in town we will shop other than that don't deal with the manager read more

Great store. Always clean even though you can tell it is older. Staff is always friendly. The meat department is great.

I've been shopping at Stater Brothers since I was a kid my mom shopped there. They have good prices

Usually slightly higher or comparable prices then Albertsons which is the only other grocery store in this town. Sometimes lower prices on select items. But stocked very well, clean, well organized and friendly service. If you are visiting or stuck living in this town this is the place to shop. read more

Of the three major grocery stores I'd say it's my second favorite. The meat department does stand out from the rest though.

Normally, staters is only on my list of places to shop when they have killer deals, the place is usually crowded and there aren't enough associates to handle the cash registers to make the experience any more pleasant. Well, this evening, as I griped needing to venture here, I found out why they are lacking in associates. They are treated like absolute crap! I witnessed our cashier-clearly has been working in our local staters a long career- receive an emergency phone call that his home was being burglarized-in progress at that-and that he was instructed to call law enforcement . He calmly continued helping the current customer and asked what would be the appropriate measure to take and a lady (wearing a jacket so I didn't see her name) was nothing short of disgusted by relieving his post while he tended to a pretty substantial emergency. He was even hesitant in stepping away from his register due to her callous demeanor. Maybe if you guys treated you associates with some compassion people might enjoy staying and working in a non hostile environment like the one sadly witnessed today. read more

Always have had great customer service! Whether it's the deli, meat counter or checkout, I've always received friendly service. When lines get long, they open lanes right away. read more

Not bad for a grocery store. Prices are a little high and the employees clog up the aisles a bit.

One of your ladies, who pushes the carts, called the cops and the fire department on me because I stopped by your store for snacks and left my dog inside my car. She was being nasty and threatened to bust my windows eventhough they were already down and it wasn't hot outside. My dog was barking not because he's overheating but because he has separation anxiety - hence why I was taking him with me out to go visit my friends than having him being bored alone in my house. She also said it's illegal to leave your dogs inside a car in California when it is not as long as they are not being endangered which in this case, he wasn't. He showed no signs of overheating and was completely fine. When the fire truck pulled over and saw my dog and how the windows were down they said "you're fine" and then left immediately. The cops didn't even stop or got out of their car when they saw me. In the end, I didn't get my what I ran inside the store for, the fire department and the cops wasted their time. I hope you educate your employees to properly assess a situation before they make a fool out of themselves and threaten your customers. read more

I love to pick up meat here. Last night I got a ten pound rib roast for $50. Can't beat that price. The butchers at the meat counter were very friendly and helpful, cutting my roast down to size and packaging it up for freezing. I grab a steak here a couple of times a month and have always been happy with the quality of the meat. The store also has their own brand of food products, some of which are pretty interesting and tasty. I wish that their produce was a little more expansive, but it has most of the basics so it covers the bases for the most part. The cashier on my recent visit was extremely friendly, wishing me and my family a Merry Christmas and making sure that I had found everything I needed. It really does make a difference when a store has a friendly and helpful culture like this! :) read more

i just needed to run into the deli section to grab an ice tea real quick and as i was filling up my tea i started searching for some sweetner and couldnt find any so i asked one of the employees behind the counter and they said they were all out? this is a grocery store come on people are you kidding? read more

Well, it's either Stater Brothers or Albertson's in this town. Not much of a choice. Albertson's prices are out of this world and Stater's selections are mediocre at best. So, I only have the option of shopping at Stater's, price wise. They do not have many gourmet ingredients so if you want to duplicate a lot of recipes you see on TV, forget it. Also, they can't seem to keep the diary case stocked fully so you may not get the half n half you wanted or milk.. They may stock one of your favorite foods one week and then never stock it again. Their isles are narrow and they put displays in your way so you have to run a gauntlet when they're busy. They stock and clean during the day which further enhances your lack of enjoyment while shopping there. Why can't they do this at night when the store isn't crowded??? Many times they don't have enough checkers so your wait in line adds to your stress level here. Can't wait until Super Walmart opens if they ever do. read more
