Tesla travel charging stop - Super bummed going inside! Definitely not worth the stop. We stopped by after seeing their displays of what looked like some fun shopping. Everything was taped off, and they had nothing to buy. Not sure if they're remodeling or just surviving on the Subway inside. Just walked in and walked right back out. read more

Cool place! The vibe inside is fun: old country market. Lots of unique snacks and knickknacks that make the stop enjoyable, as well as plenty of all the familiar snacks and drinks. There is also a Subway inside, and they move the line fairly quickly. There are tables inside, and picnic tables out back, along with a doggy rest area. Great, unique stop on your travels! read more

Very clean and good selection in snacks and treats. Only thing is this place closes early and the cashier lady is very rude no customer service read more

Westside Country Store - the front of the store - Farmers Market Near Me - Firebaugh, California

SCAMMERS- AVOID AT ALL COSTS I found some laminated seed packets. I picked out three, thinking that I would exchange them for new ones at the front (I was under the impression that they were kept up front to prevent theft- turns out, they're the thieves). I gave them to the cashier and paid (it was $9.72). He then slid the laminated packets over to me and thanked me. I was confused so I asked where my seeds were. He then told me that what I had bought *were* the laminated packets. I was pretty flabbergasted because that was not at all clear when I picked them up. I asked for my money back and he just stared at me blankly and said "it doesn't say that they're seeds anywhere." I told him that they were very clearly seed packets and what I had thought about why they kept up front. Finally, he reluctantly gave me $9 back when he realized I wasn't an idiot and when I asked for my ¢72 he told me it was tax and the store would keep it (illegal, but okay, buddy). I walked out without a word. This is a pathetic attempt to scam tourists who are too afraid to ask for their money back. Not to mention the fact that I look like a child and he probably thought I would chicken out. Side note, the place smelled awful and the rest of the selection was pretty bad. Also, if you *are* going to sell laminated seed packets, make that WAY clearer to the customer. He didn't even clarify that he wasn't selling me seeds before he asked me to pay when I literally came up and asked, "may I please have these seeds?" read more

One of the nicest stops along Highway 5, which we just happened to find because we pulled off the freeway to get my laptop out of the trunk of the car! Walk into to this fine country store & you'll find a veritable treasure trove of items to satisfy your traveling wishes! ** CLEAN restrooms that are not scary to use! I can speak for the ladies' restrooms, anyway. ** There's a SUBWAY here! Get you some chicken noodle soup & a sandwich while you're traveling! There are about 6 little nice tables inside to enjoy your food by the Subway counter. ** So many delicious country DRIED FRUITS & NUTS here! About $9-$10 a bag and up. Cashews, chocolate covered almonds, crystallized ginger, dried pineapple fruit rings, almost everything your snacky heart desires! ** Much more. They even have FRESH FRUIT, DRINKS, TOYS galore like small squishy animals, mini LOL Dolls with chocolate, cute country home decor, beef jerky, candy bars galore, chips and more chips, lots of cold drinks, gifts for the Baker and wine enthusiast, and very nice service. ** MY YELP ELITE TIP: ** TOTALLY DELICIOUS HOMEMADE FUDGE** is also what we walked out with, too. Omg, if you like Rocky Road, you HAVE TO buy a square of the rocky road fudge. ONLY $3.99 FOR HEAVEN IN YOUR MOUTH! Plus, it's super cute decor inside, depending on the season. It was totally decked out inside for the holiday season with Christmas trees festooned with lovely ornaments to buy. Yeah, some stuff may be a little pricier, but it's a store in the middle of nowhere & they gotta make a living, too. There are organic fruits & other yummiee here, so it's going to cost more for good stuff. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable. Just a really nice, pleasant enjoyable place to stop, eat, rest a bit, and shop! So definitely check out Westside Country Store along I-5. Definitely going to be coming here from now on during our road trips because it is now a favorite place of ours to stop along our trips! read more

Zero star - lady working 8/19/23 at 4:15pm is remarkably rude, plenty of other options nearby. Better off anywhere else

Bathrooms do not have soap, towels and or a hand dryer to clean your hands. I asked for help and the lady at the front register was incredibly rude and hateful. read more

We stopped here for a lunch and a bathroom break. The quickest of lunches is not ordering a sandwich at Subway, but getting soup. There soups are surprisingly tasty. It was a relief that they sold hot soup along with the regular sub. The line really builds up at Subway, so if you want a Sub it's best to walk in the door and get straight in line. The bathrooms are nice and located past the Subway line in back. The store part is filled with drinks, snacks, and gifts. This was a very pleasant stop. I would stop here again. read more

Stopped here to get gas and pick up some snacks. We didn't feel like fast food so we picked up some garlic bites, salami & cheese & omg those garlic bites are the bomb! I used them for my charcuterie plate & they were a hit! I regret not buying more! Will always make sure to stop by on my next trip down/up to the southern & northern Cali! They have a subway inside the store and clean bathrooms! read more

Not what I expected inside, but perhaps even cooler? Bought some dried edamame for me ($7.99), peanut brittle for him ($5.99) and some dip mix (called Dip Shit by Big Cock Farms). hahahaha It was just too funny not to buy. They also sold hot sauce, wine, gifts, and other dried fruits, nuts and veggies. Clean store and friendly employee that helped me at check out. Glad I stopped in! read more

I can't say enough about this store. I've been stopping at this store for years and they never disappoint. Clean, friendly, and lots of cute gadgets and yummy spices to purchase. I love their "Good Shit" spice and all the different "Shit" spices! LOL If I'm rushing to So Cal I may not necessarily stop here, but on the way back it's a MUST as I always find something cute or fun to buy for a gift or just for me. Many times my family and friends don't stop unless they need gas, but after bringing them here for their first time it becomes a part of their stop too! read more

Interesting market with subway, scorpion lolipops, nuts, red neck cups. On the way back/from NorCal/SoCal road trip. Yes interesting snacks. Clean bathroom. Subway inside has the promotional prices, nothing more expensive. However, the snacks there are pretty pricey. read more

Very nice little store w/ Subway inside. Subway was delightfully fresh, flavorful, and good service compared to LA Subways.... Nice change of pace from a gas station stop. This place is unique and worth a stop definitely. They have everything - fresh fruit, wines, beer, sodas, junk food, gourmet salsa and sauces. Great selection of dried fruits, nuts, and snacks. Best price on Jelly Belly confections - about 20% off retail so I stocked up on some more Jelly Belly for my round belly! read more

Do not buy the hot sauce it's horrible!!! I got a bottle of their hot sauce pay $6 dollars I tried it with my subway it was so bad, and super salty- told the cashier I hated the sauce. I asked if I could return it, she said just because you don't like it that's not a good reason to return it. Bad service too!! read more

This place is such a cool little gem to find in the middle of what seemed to be nowhere! You can find anything from snacks, candles, home decor, ice cream and even chocolate covered insects!!!!! I will def stop by this place again when i am back in Sacramento area! read more

I agree with the review about customer service. We stopped by on our road trip to look and buy while we get gas. But there were no slim jim, or veggies that we're looking for, and I was going to buy some sauce, but the price is a little high for me. we took a little long, may be 20 minutes to see around. We walked out and the lady was shaking her head many times for me to see & said took us that long to look for an item. Omg, it call shopping, looking for items that we like to purchase. My girls were still selecting out an item for each of them, and I would have buy them as souvenir, but we left. I told her sorry for visiting her shop. We take this route couple time a year, but this will be our first and last visit to this shop. Again sorry for stopped by your shop. read more

I bought a bag of Garlic Bites here. If you're garlic lover, you got to get them! They are so good! I should have bought more.

Arrived to the Subway at 7:00 was told no hot sandwiches because they were ready to close, ordered cold. We sat down to eat and one of the Subway employees began putting up all the chairs. Family next to ate standing up, while 4 other clients were told they needed to eat outside. Meanwhile store cashier literally ran to close restrooms. I beat her there and still she insisted I was not to use the restroom. I left went next door, used restroom there, pumped gas next door finished both was back in my car by 7:30. So I believe that the clock at Subway was ahead by at least 10 minutes. It's evident the employees are not vested at all in either the Subway or the convenience store. Won't be stopping there again. read more

Drove by this store many times and decided to go in and check it out. They have a large variety of packages snack foods. Next time I'll be more prepared to pay the high price for the food. 4 small bags of snacks and a super small strawberry milk was 43 bux. I didn't realize this was a high rent district. I'll be back but will be prepared for the sticker shock. read more

This place is a frequent stop for our family when traveling to and from the Bay Area. The last 3 times we have stopped has been a very unpleasant visit and I am sad to say that I don't think we will be stopping here any longer as their cashier Angie is the rudest cashier ever. My wife went in to use their restroom and to grab a bottle water and a pack of gum although she did see the sign that states "minimum purchase of 10.00" to use credit card. She gave the cashier her debit card. When Angie told her very rudely "it's a minimum purchase of 10.00 to use your credit card" and my wife said "it's not my credit it's debit." Angie them told her they don't take debit there. My wife put the items to the side a bit upset for Angie was rude to her, came out and told me that we were going to go to another stop because she did not have cash. I then got off to grab stuff she left behind because I had cash. Upon arriving in the store I encountered Angie. I said "I'm here to get the bottle water and other items." I paid and she did not give a total, I gave here a 10.00 bill and she slammed the receipt on the counter and it caught me off guard. I replied and told her she was being very rude. (Because she slammed my receipt on the counter) as I was walking out she said under her breath..just like you're Lil girlfriend. I stopped and walked back in and said..excuse me what did you say. She said...have a nice day. I said "your in customer service and you just can't say things under your breath as customers are leaving the store" and you definitely can't be saying things about my wife. She said well you guys cannot be rude either..your wife was rude too. I stressed the customer service skills she lacked and asked her for her store manager. Sadly he was unavailable until Monday. She did not give me her name she said it was on the receipt. She was trying to help another customer and did not care to help me with the complaint, of course. I stepped away as she helped the other customer and then ended by leaving. Although the store is clean and has a variety of snacks and a subway. Angie does not complement the store in all actuality makes the whole store look bad. read more

Way expensive 9.99 for some veggie chips?? Mangoes with food coloring. What? Why? Gifts are all cheapy and way over priced. No thanks. Walked out with nothing. read more

This is a co place to stop when on the road and have a healthy snack! There are good options for nuts and dried fruits. Subway counter is inside the store, with expanded sitting area. The store itself is warm and exciting: lots of interesting merchandise. Bathrooms are fresh and clean, which is surprising in a good way. read more

I've got to believe that you have to drive by this place on 5 quite often before you'd really find yourself a regular customer here. I'm more than a little surprised it's stayed in business for as long as it has. They have a smattering of odd knick-knacks, snacks, drinks, etc. Although they have plenty of different kinds of snack bags similar to trail mix and the like, there's not much else to buy, given the location of the store, that is. If you're getting something to eat right next to it (I believe there's a Subway that shares the building), this store might make for some quick browsing, or maybe a small bag of dried banana chips, but in my opinion, there not a whole lot that's special about the Westside Country Store. read more

Sign on door (and on Yelp..) says it opens at 7am. We showed up at 7:10 and the doors were locked. The lady working was counting her drawer, she clearly saw us waiting but didn't say anything or gesture to let us know it would be a minute. I knocked and she finally signaled for a Subway employee to open the door. She was unfriendly and clearly not a morning person when we finally got in there and bought some overly priced items. Don't stop here if your on a road trip, overly priced and customer service sucks! read more

Nicest Sales Person, clean store, and cleanest restrooms I have ever seen on the 5... read more

Driving back and forth between SF and LA you need to stop a few times, this place was one of the stops. Plus: Nice clean bathroom Large selection of dried nuts and fruit with dome other "gourmet" food items like jams, spreads, and seasonings There is a Subway inside They have a small selection of the more traditional convenience food Less crowded than McDonald's Minus: Kitschy tourist stuff for sale, as opposed to more useful stuff High prices, but what do you expect It can be hard to turn into the parking lot (left turn) when the area is really busy Really, it meets your needs if you need to stop quick and grab something. It would be better if it had more things that were useful to travelers rather than trying to sell a bunch of souvenirs. read more

Love this little pit stop. I've been driving back and forth from Oakland to LA for years, and now that I live in LA (past 13yrs) I still hit the 5. I decided to stop in here on a whim to get my daughter a subway sandwich and was instantly wowed! Tons of dry fruit, nuts, honey, and the like. This will be our new little pit stop other than In & Out...lol. read more

Westside Country Store - awesome! - Farmers Market Near Me - Firebaugh, California

My copilot loves stopping here, and I wanted to give it a try! Loved it! Clean restrooms and every kind of snack you'd ever need. Having some chili lemon pistachios right now - finished off the caramel corn and butter toffee peanuts long ago. Still have some chili mango. mmmmmmmm! read more

This is a road side market.. How could it possible working only cash, do not accepting credit cards? Closed restrooms.. The staff were looking us like asking why we went that store at 9:50 pm.. Never stop here again..!! read more

Pit stop to la. This place was a surprise, a small shop among gas stations and major fast food restaurants. We only went in here because there was a Subways inside it. The shop was pretty cool, it has trinkets and other items that you could pick up as a souvenir. Other than that, it seemed as if most people came into this store just to use the restroom or to get a drink and some Subway sandwiches. There is seating outside in the front and at the back of the restaurant which was pretty nice considering you see the whole country side and the crops that farmers are growing. I think coming here in the evening would be more impressive as the background and setting of the sun will make it quite a beautiful thing to see. read more

Funky little collection of trinkets and snacks, and clean bathrooms as well. What's not to like? I'd definitely stop in again.

Fun little spot to stop! You can grab a sandwich and relax, and browse the nostalgic and fun collection of candy and kitsch. They even have an old-times ice box in the back. Reminds me of the one I'd pull an ice cream bar out of at a gas station when I was a kid! read more

Subway doesn't have real avocado. 3.5oz bag of Snyder's Pretzels and an Evian was over $6. Still the healthiest stop from LA to SF.

Was a cute store. A large selection of old and new goodies. :o) Look forward to taking another road trip and stopping there again. :o)

Best stop on I-5...Love the little toy and gift section. Creative and themed (never the same stuff each time)...quality items like Melissa and Doug and vintage style toys. Awesome selection of gifts too. I always grab something for my hostess or niece and nephews here on my way to a visit. Can't believe someone said this store had cheap quality stuff. The locally grown food items (nuts and jams, dried fruit) are slightly expensive but they are local and natural. Clean. Friendly. Very nice. read more

Do not come here unless you need to use the restroom or buy from subway. Prices are extremely expensive for everything. Almost double or even triple the normal amount. read more

Nice place. Unique kitchen gadgets. Super clean bathrooms. Nicest stop in this area.

written by wife of user...this place is truly a shining light in the midst of a boring trip between LA and SF, and the abundance of not so great (suffocating, cramped) places to stop along the way. if you like practical and inexpensive, like my husband, this may not be your top pick. in fact, it will not be. but it is my favorite place to stop by far! ive never been moved to review a roadside stop until now. it's cute, has an abundance of healthy snack options, and it's airy and clean (though the bathroom doesn't quite match the cleanliness of the rest of the place...but it's not bad). if you like good ambiance, and also want to get a subway sandwich while you pick up your healthy and mildly overpriced snacks, this is your place! read more

We stopped here on our way to the Bay Area and decided to do it again on our way back. While the store is a good stop for a snack and bathroom, the cashiers ( both the old and the young) are infuriatingly rude. On both occasions I got and attitude like they were doing me some favor for allowing me to pay for the stuff I bought. After a few long minutes of chit-chat while there were people waiting in line the young one finally turned with that arrogant look on her face like we were all inferior to her grocery store cashier PhD. Zero courtesy, no answer to greetings and the best was when I got yelled at because I didn't see the receipt she put in front of me to sign and then she gave me this disgusted look and turned to the old one eating on a chair next to her said something in Spanish and both burst into laughing in a mocking way. Seriously Country Store? Hire some polite people with an ounce of intelligence who understand respect for the customer and send these stupid idiots home to pour their frustrations on their own families. Needless to say you lost our business because of dumb employees. read more
