Clean and the variety is phenomenal. We got chicken fajitas and chicken al pastor. Absolutely fantastic. Our guests loved them. They make fresh guacamole and we bought the spicy one. The chips are made there and they are are thicker and crunchier. I thought they were okay but some folks loved them. Where they nail it is the tortillas. House made there and they are out of this world. More texture and taste than store bought. Loved them. I liked the big assortment of refried beans in cans or packages. We tried the El Salvadorian red beans and I really enjoyed them. Good change of pace. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I bought a bean and cheese burrito on the way out in the food service area. Seemed a tad bit disorganized and slow. Good burrito though.

I literally reinstalled yelp just to review how sh!t the burrito was lol thats how bad it was.

The have an extremely wide food variety with dedicated aisles for Asian and Hispanic flavors. Any obscure or non-big-name-brand that you may not find anywhere else can be found here. There is a large seafood counter and deli (which have both been recently updated). They sell a huge variety of bulk items too! They have everything from nuts to candy to dog food, herbs, pasta, bird seed, and more. There is a bakery that offers some nice fresh items like pastries, rolls, cakes, and bagels. They also do custom cake orders! There's also a hot food section where they sell freshly made fried chicken, flavored wings, tenders, and sides for a super affordable price! WinCo offers a ton of ready to eat meals. Just pop them in the microwave for a quick and large bite. The staff members are very friendly. They build a lovely relationship with the regulars which is great to see. They never show any sense of attitude, even when it gets very busy (which is often). Sometimes the lines can get super long (particularly towards the beginning of the month and in the afternoons). Most of the time, they have plenty of check-out lanes open so the wait isn't too bad. Everything is relatively well-organized. The store is huge but it doesn't feel like a maze trying to find the items you need. The aisles are wide but get congested at times. Since they're open 24/7, it's not too hard to beat the crowds though. If you decide to shop here (which I definitely recommend), note that they don't accept credit cards!

A bit unsanitary and noncompetitive prices…read more My dad and I came to check out US Foods CHEF'STORE to compare it to the other nearby bulk foods stores like Costco and Smart & Final. I was unimpressed by this one. As soon as you enter this store, you are met with a very unpleasant, almost rancid, smell. I couldn't quite place my finger on what the smell was, but it was definitely not something you want to smell when you enter a place that sells food. We checked out the produce and meat sections first. The fruits and vegetables seemed fresh. The meat section, however, was a bit concerning. All of the plastic bins where the large cuts of meat were stored were filled with meat juices. Although the refrigerated section was cold, I was still a little concerned about the sanitation. Unless you are truly buying in bulk for a restaurant or event setting, the prices are very comparable, if not more expensive, than other grocery stores like WinCo. The smaller bag of potatoes, for example, was significantly more expensive than the same size bag at Costco. The giant bag of potatoes though, was very cheap in comparison. They definitely have a great variety of items that your typical grocery won't carry though. A lot of the items are unique. The sheer amount of drink/cafe syrups was astounding. They have every single thing you may need for a restaurant from take-out containers to sauce and jelly packets. I am not familiar with the pricing of these items, but this seems like a convenient place to buy them.

I have to give this place a five star rating for the items they sell, the price they provide and…read morethe customer service. Though they are not as big as Costco or Sam's Club, they do have the items that hubby and I typically needs when we come by here.

I really must hate myself because time after time, I come to this store and I leave feeling ripped…read moreoff. I internally beat myself up for shopping there. I do it because it's the closest store to my house... This Raley's sucks so bad I'm starting to actually like Save Mart. I will not be shopping here any longer. They had only 1 heavy whipping cream option available, and the expiry date was in two days (today is the 14th, expiry date is the 16th) yet there was no discount. I asked the manager if I could have a discount... after all, I would buy another brand I'd they had one available. No discount, the manager says something about how they will get dinged for it... so f**k me, the customer, right? The manager says that the cream won't magically go bad on the 16th. So next week when my cream goes bad, I should bring it back to the store so he can have a sniff, I guess. I loathe how this store has outrageous prices, consistently sub-par produce, and bad customer service. Their checkout lines will literally be 8 customers deep and they WILL NOT open a new lane. Why is it that COST LESS GROCERIES has better produce and service than RALEY'S???? Why does Raley's hate its customers? My mom used to shop at the location in Century Center when I was a kid, and I have been shopping at Raley's since I've had my own money. Well, not any more. This company has gone downhill.

They should have been stopped at the door but the 3 cashiers at the front of the store let them all come in. They walked their bikes to the back of the store by the milk and eggs and started riding wheelies on their bikes and making everybody get out of their way. I couldn't find 1 worker at the back of the store and had to go find a cashier at the front of the store to let her know. I asked her if she seen the kids on their bikes come into the store and she said yes. I said well they are riding wheelies at the back of the store so she announced it on the loudspeaker. When she did the kids riding their bikes heard it and started leaving knocking everything off of the store shelves . In the meantime all of the other store employees came out of the back room of the store and had to pick all of the store products off of the floor. My complaint is why were they even allowed to bring their bikes in the store ? Put a bike rack outside and make them leave their bikes outside.

Walking in and seeing all the seasonal displays at the front of the store made shopping exciting, and I could almost always find something special for birthdays, holidays, or little surprises. Over the past year or so, it feels like the store has changed quite a bit. The kids' section is much smaller, there are fewer home and gift items, and it just doesn't seem to have the same treasure-hunt feeling it once had. I've noticed the selection isn't as unique as it used to be, and several of my mom friends have mentioned the same thing. One friend even stopped shopping there altogether because she felt they no longer carry the kinds of products that made Grocery Outlet so fun and different. Another thing many of us really miss is the monthly receipt drawing they used to do. You could write your name and phone number on your receipt, and at the end of the month they would draw a winner who received a gift card for the amount of their receipt. It was such a fun promotion that got the community excited and made shopping there feel a little more special. People genuinely looked forward to it. When the new owners took over, that promotion disappeared, and it feels like a lot of the little things that made this Grocery Outlet unique disappeared too. The staff has always been friendly, and I truly want to see the store succeed. I just miss the variety, the seasonal displays, the fun promotions, and the family-friendly shopping experience that made it such a special place to visit. It used to feel like every trip was an adventure... now it feels more like just another grocery store. I hope they consider bringing back more of the fun finds, gift items, home décor, toys, seasonal products, and community-focused promotions that so many of us loved.
