I don't usually write reviews unless they're genuinely deserved--and this one absolutely is. The Community Stater Bros (Store 80) has consistently been a bright spot in our neighborhood. The staff is always kind, approachable, and willing to help, no matter how busy the store is. That alone sets them apart, but what truly makes this location special is the heart behind the people who work there. There is one employee in particular--She decorates the entire store for Christmas, creates a magical experience for families, and even gives small gifts to the children. Her smile is genuine, her warmth is unmistakable, and her compassion is something you feel the moment you interact with her. It's impossible not to notice the love she brings into that space. You can tell this store doesn't just serve the community--it cares about it. That kind of atmosphere doesn't happen by accident; it's built by people who take pride in what they do. Thank you to Store 80 and its incredible team for consistently going above and beyond. You make a difference, and it shows. read more

The meat dept workers are very rude. The meat has more fat and BS! The next time i visit, I'm getting names of the rude MEAT WORKERS and the so call specials that include lots of fat and BS! read more

Shame on Stater Brothers. A clean cut young man was playing his guitar and singing outside the store away from the entrance and an employee asked him to leave the area. Ironically, they don't seem to have a problem with drug dealers and homeless people hanging around outside, only clean, cut young adults out, trying to make a few dollars to pay their bills. I'll be shopping elsewhere after 26 years!!! read more

I completely understand why this particular Staters barely has a "3" rating. I complained yesterday, 04/26/26, to the manager about his staff. I won't include names because I provided this information to a new manager. I advised him that the cashier and the bagger (not sure of title) never greeted me. Instead, they gossiped about other employees. That is, making fun of other employees. I told him that I have had this experience with their staff on numerous occasions. But, this was the worst experience thus far. He said that this was the first time a customer brought this to his attention. Perhaps management should review Yelp reviews. read more

I wanted to drop a note to let you know how impressed, I was with customer service the lovely lady in the front Eileen , solved my issue in no time and made sure I was happy and satisfied, the patience And care that she showed me it's worth to mention ,keep up the good work ,from the moment that you walk -in until you leave ,the cashier made you feel so welcome. It's so easy to always do a negative review; NOT this time store # 80 gets 5 stars bravo ,I have been Albertsons customer for many years, but I walked every morning close to stater brothers in Woodcrest and the customer service there is consistently great she always has a smile even when is so early in the morning I want to take the time to say I am changing my mind and become a stater brothers customer thank you for demonstrating the customer service is your priority.Thank you so much for providing such a great service last week I had a return with the strawberries I got, and I was upset The lady made me feel better and took care my issue ,it make a difference 100% satisfied ,Eilleen is one of the best employees and hope to see her become a manager soon you don't get workers like that these days ! read more

I used to stop at the stater Brothers every now and again on my way from work because it was convenient. But now I purposely go out of my way and drive 10 minutes down the road to Albertsons because the service here is so poor. Everyone always has an attitude and makes it seem like you don't wanna help you. but I literally just got off the phone with the deli department to see if they had any rotisserie chickens, and the guy was so rude. And even after helping me. I said thank you when he just hung up. not to mention their bathrooms are disgusting. And they're cashiers are always so unprofessional and are having conversations between each other and don't even look at a customer one. read more

Love starter bros. fantastic service Eileen is fantasti! we love shopping there because of her. she always has the best attitude and makes sure we had a pleasant shopping experience. thank you Eileen. read more

This Stater Bros has the nicest and most helpful staff. And especially Eilleen Godina. Always a smile and special treatment!

Love Staters full service meat department and in store selection choices. Price is also a plus.

Been 5 times and walked out every time! Only 1 checker and a line around the isle! Why is anyone settling for how this place is managed! I will NEVER EVER return! Management does not understand what the word means! Would benefit the neighborhood to have a properly managed grocery store! read more

Make sure you check your expiration dates! I'm a regular here, unfortunately this stater brothers is right around the corner from my house! Last time I bought ice cream here someone took a bite out of the tub. Now, I just restocked on some food from the holiday (12/28) and guess what!? Expired yogurt! Dating way back to December 13th! Too bad I noticed it after ingesting it...I guess we will find out in 4 hours if a trip to the hospital is warranted since I'll have food poisoning while pregnant! You guys need to check your expiration dates before selling to the customer! read more

This was several months ago but we Just popped in to buy some flowers. My daughter has Tourette's, the swearing kind. A young girl helped us at the checkout, she wasn't dressed in a regular uniform, maybe a manager?!?!She had short light brown hair. Anyways, my daughter flipped her off. The girl looked a bit surprised. We explained. She remained friendly. We appreciate the understanding. Thank you. read more

One of the worst Stater Bros in Riverside. Customer service here is pretty much non existent. I'm constantly going in there to buy two or three items and I find myself waiting in line for over 10-20 minutes because they never seem to care if the lines are long and they only like opening two cash registers at a time. When you ask them to open another cash register due to the very long lines they get mad...This is a clown show. Hurry up and put in self check out already. If you're going to be this slow checking people out and having people wait 10-20 minutes in line you need to do something other give us attitude. read more

What is going on with the fruit/produce section at this store? I'm so disappointed! The last thing I expect when I spend over $200 at the supermarket is to bring home fruit that is bruised and rotted. I'm deeply saddened and irritated. This is far from the third time I've had this experience which is why I'm now speaking out. I recall one occasion where I spoke to a checker complaining that some of the raspberries and blackberries had mold and was told it was impossible since a lot of the Stater managers lived in the area so they would ensure this store had the best selection. I don't want to be called nor emailed, just want the store to get it together! read more

The meat department has the most unhappy people working there. No smiles no thank you, nothing but just a feeling like they are doing you a favor for shopping there. I have been there several times and shop there frequently and most of the employees, like the cashiers are generally helpful and friendly. Forget about the meat department, they act bothered when you order something. I hope management sees this and makes a change soon or I will drive further for better customer service. I have had bad customer service at the meat department several times before writing this review. Enough is enough, Managers, what happened to customer service? read more

This is the 3rd time that I bought some oatmeal raisin cookies from your store and there not label correctly I AM Allergic TO PECONS NUTS people I realize gen x is lazy but where is the double checking to see if this is rite by the manager or something DAMM WTF now im having a reaction from your lazy actions read more

I've been a loyal Staters customer since it came to Van Buren, and just want to highlight/commend the fantastic staff and service here! I'm always greeted by multiple employees while browsing the store, and the friendly staff help create an enjoyable experience. Thank you for your service to the community! read more

Clean and organized with an abundance of front row parking. Really big store. Customer Service? I have no idea because I never spoke to anyone and only because I found everything on my own. Easy and smooth operation. read more

Just had a instacart delivery we were charged for (2) Truvia when we received one and charged for Hearts of Romain and they were not delivered plus some other issues. This is an ongoin problem with Stater Bros Canyon Lake. We used Instacart through the Pandemic and this was an ongoing problem when you contact Instacart to resolve issues or get a refund you get no where. From now on we are going to Stater Bros will not use Stater Bros Instacart. read more

I've been coming to this store since I was a little kid and it didn't used to be the way it is now. The hiring staff doesn't dig deep enough when trying to find potential hires because 2 individuals ( one being the cart boy and bagger named Gavin) and the other is a cashier that work in mainly one line which is #1. They have spread rumors at their workplace about me and my mother and continue to harass us whenever we are in the store. I live 2 miles down the road from them and would much rather travel a distance to go to the one on magnolia. Since my last visit there, Gavin has continued to harass my mother and family whenever we go in there, whispering into other ears causing that individual to act differently around us. This is getting worse as the days go on and I'm officially fed up with this individual named Gavin read more

First of all Yelp has a picture of a different Stater Bros. Up here lol. I've lived her 6 years. I have always shopped here. This last year your produce has gotten so bad I will actually go to Albertsons and spend twice as much. Everything is from Mexico. So far I've bought strawberries with mold, 3 packs of cuties with mold, corn that was rotten and cauliflower with mold...I'm not going to drive back to return a $3.99 bag of cuties but it has happened so much this year I'm done. I don't know what's happened this last year but produce in the Mission Grove location & Mary St. Does not have this problem. Even the bag salad is not being checked. read more

See all

This is my home away from home. I freaking live here. I love this location and MOST of the employees. I just have one issue (FOR NOW) with Lonnie the checker. She can be nice when you catch her in a good mood. But 99% of the time this woman is one unhappy angry human being. Not to mention she judges you for what you purchase. If you're a vegetarian and can't handle meat...DO NOT WORK AT A GROCERY STORE. I do not need to be told you can smell me coming by purchasing meat from your meat market. It was just flat out rude. That was awhile ago now but this morning she never greeted me, never spoke to me and grumbled under her breath the whole time. Mind you, we have never had an issue with each other and basically don't know each other. So this isn't I pissed her off and she dreads me coming into her line. She's just an unhappy person. read more

While I was shopping I seen 3 people without masks, 1 being an employee. It made my shopping experience anxiety ridden. I'm not the type to complain about anything but felt I needed to call corporate because there are people who are at risk if masks aren't worn and people are exposed to those with Covid . Corporate simply said if someone says they have a medical issue they don't have to wear a mask . So disregard all the people with actual medical issues that if exposed to the corona virus could be hospitalized or die? It's state mandated that masks must be worn in public . Other grocery stores do implement this policy so I suggest you take you your business there, where they care about your safety and peace of mind . read more

I have never been to a grocery store and felt so offended in my life! Went to checkout and got Diana A as our checker, she didn't say Hi or wouldn't even make eye contact, RUDE, the entire transaction. I even told her we had 4 sodas and she didn't even acknowledge me. Then when I went to pay I gave her cash and she said "oh cash" as if she was surprised, smfh! I seriously have never been so turned off in a store. Then her bag boy asked if I wanted help to the car and I said yes (I never have them help me but I was feeling petty af) We got to my car and he stopped at the Honda that was parked next to my Porsche (this was my petty side) he stood there and I said "that's not my car" he looked confused, NEWSFLASH ASSHOLES, I own 3 business's in Riverside and just because I am tatted and you were obviously feeling some type of way I'm not broke and next time you try and treat people like shut you should check yourself because I'm that bitch! read more

Stater Bros. Markets - Grocery Near Me - Riverside, California

This is my hometown Stater Bros. I love them and they show me love every single time I come in the door. Great savings without the hassel of a club card. No Cleo and Leo bakery or delicatessen at this location, but the same friendly service that I've come to expect from all Stater Bros markets. Wide varieties, lowest prices and fast courteous service is what makes Stater Bros my 5 star number one grocery shopping destination. read more

Stater Bros. Markets - Always fresh! - Grocery Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is a joke!! They never have any help at night. One cashier after 8pm on a Friday night. Who runs this place?! The shelves are always empty. There is never any milk or eggs. The milk section always looks horrible at night. The poor produce girls are always in the checkstand. They need to bring the old managers back. This place is falling a part. Don't waste your time. Just go to the one on Mary St. read more

I went to purchase half and half but noticed the expiration date was 3 days away. I asked the store clerk if there was any fresher and she told me that they sold the product until 3 days after the expiration. My husband also bought a specialty bar cake from the bakery. It cost $24.99 and was dry and disgusting. The sell by date was March 11 and my husband purchased this on 3/7. It's obvious that Staters doesn't care about the quality of their products, or for that matter, their customers. read more

This store has really gone downhill. They have stopped carrying a lot of any name brand items, with no equal replacement items. For instance, 409 cleaner, Contadina Sweet and Sour sauce, various coffee creams, 1 lb bag of carrots ( force you to buy 2 lb). Today husband went in to buy egg whites, no egg whites, no eggs, just nothing in store and of course they claim supply issues. Been going here over 10 years, time to change stores. read more

Had groceries delivered yesterday and was extremely happy with the professional bagging of my order. Paper bag was in plastic giving a sturdy bag...items were bagged correctly and tagged with how many bags. I couldn't have done a better job bagging and I had 38 years experience in the grocery business. I have 3 different locations that I reside...one out of state and this was the best shopping experience that I have encountered. Stater Bros Markets in Ontario you have provided exceptional service and you have an extremely stratified customer. I highly recommend read more

I went in there for a quick salad to buy for lunch, because it was on my way to work, and didn't have any options because they only had Cobb salad. So I looked for other healthy options but their selection was poor. Then I headed to the cashier and paid with a $100 bill only to be told that they didnt have change. Unfortunately I had forgotten my wallet that day and had no other option to pay, and they couldn't accommodate. On top of everything, the cashier was very rude and gave me attitude. I find it hard to believe that a multi-million dollar store does not have change. A huge waste of time! Don't go here. They obviously have other bad reviews and have not taken care of issues. Go to Albertson's instead. They have are always stocked and have a friendly accommodating staff. read more

Lonnie is the best here. Her attitude is great and you can tell she enjoys her job. Overall this market is always clean and has everything you need read more

Matt N that was in the 15 items or less lane was a freaking dick to my grandmother and I don't appreciate his attitude on Christmas Eve I understand it's busy but you can be nicer read more

Being a cashier at Stater Brothers must be pretty monotonous. I don't feel like I get that personal experience I get from Albertsons or Trader Joe's. For example, when checking out, it feels like the cashier is reading a script. How is your day, how was your experience. Those questions are great, but when I reply, it's almost as if I'm being ignored. Sometimes, the cashier will totally ignore me and hold a full personal conversation with the person bagging my groceries. Buying alcohol can almost be as bad as going through a security check at LAX. Sometimes they ask your age, others it's ID, and they still want you to say your age. Kind of a joke, as if they can't add. The customer service really isn't that great, but the prices seem to beat a lot of their competitors. In short, if you don't mind skimping on customer service for price, Staters is where it's at. read more

I'm a simple person and have simple needs. I do enjoy shopping fancy gourmet markets on occasion, but it's not a necessity for me. Just give me the basics and get me in and out of the store in an expeditious manner and I'm good to go. Now, if you want to eat healthy, you've got to learn to shop healthy. Many years ago I took a course in nutrition and learned a neat little trick for healthy shopping (it also gets me in and out of the store much quicker). It's simple: avoid the aisles. The aisles are where you'll find the chips, cereals, canned goods, frozen foods, ice cream and candies... basically, all the stuff that tempts the taste buds but lacks in nutritional value. The temptation is too great for most people - it is for me - so I avoid the aisles whenever possible. Outta sight, outta mind. Thankfully, most grocery stores are conveniently laid out for those wishing to shop healthy. Around the perimeter you'll find the essentials: produce, meats, dairy goods, breads and many times even fruit juices. Of course, you will need to wander down an aisle once in a while. I often find myself wandering in the spice aisle... and I have a weakness for ice cream. Ahh... the ice cream... Okay, enough small-talk. One would think that after visiting a certain business hundreds of times, one would eventually find something to complain about. I honestly can say I've never had a single legitimate complaint at this location. They seem to have an extra-helpful staff here; they're always busy stocking shelves if not helping out at the check stand. That's good management. And that's why I'm giving this store a better-than-average rating. I'm very stingy on rating any business, but I gotta give credit where credit is due. Friendly and helpful staff. Fresh produce, fresh meats and fresh dairy products. Well-stocked shelves... and they always call for backup cashiers when needed. I've noticed that this location employs several people who stand out; natural team-leaders. They have very positive attitudes and extraordinary work habits. That can be, and in this case is, contagious. The entire team does the best they can with what they have... and they seem to enjoy themselves while doing it. I just hope that management recognizes this and compensates them accordingly. They deserve it... "A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results." - Wade Boggs read more

I always stop by this location when visiting my friends who live in Woodcrest. I hate that they don't have a fresh bakery. If we want something sweet we want it fresh. The meat department here has been nice though since they always cut the meat to my requests. All in all its ok to grab a few missing things. read more

Not all but most of the people who work at this location are rude. Especially the cashiers. They barely acknowledge you let alone greet you when you get to the register. Not a place I feel welcomed. read more

Go here all the time, almost everyday. Great customer service. Lines are sometimes backed up but is quickly taken care of by the staff. Never had any issues at this location, will always shop here. read more

There ok to shop when you're in a rush. They don't have the best or freshest produce. I went to get some fruit and was simply disgusted to see that quite a few had mold on it! I had to go with the frozen kind to make my smoothie. Unusually go to fresh and easy were they have a nicer selection. But stater bros does have good customer service and good deals on other merchandise. read more

Jessie in the meat department is amazing! Lonnie is the best! Love love our Woodcrest Stater Brothers!
