This was my first time shopping at WinCo Foods in Visalia, and honestly, I can't believe I've been missing out this whole time! The prices were AMAZING--so much cheaper than other grocery stores I've been to lately. I was genuinely shocked at how much I was able to get without spending a fortune. They even have claw machines for the kids near the front, and the best part is that you're guaranteed to win! The larger machines are a little more expensive, but even then, it's still cheaper than buying some of the same squishy toys in a store. And the 50-cent sodas in the vending machines?! WHAT?! I haven't seen soda that cheap in forever! The cashier who helped me was also really nice and friendly, which made the experience even better. My only complaint was coming in early in the morning. There were a lot of employees around, and several checkout lanes and isles were blocked off, so everything was a detour to get to which made things a little awkward and inconvenient. And the parking lot was like dirty but not dirty it just had a whole bunch of little small particles and trash all over the floor but the Buggies were all nicely together and ready to go. The inside also had a lot of trash and boxes all over but that's to be expected because it's from the overnight stockers stocking but I'm sure they get rid of that trash, boxes and cardboard before they clock out. Besides those negative things I mentioned that honestly,was a small issue compared to how great everything else was. Overall, I had a really good experience and will definitely be shopping at WinCo again. The prices alone are enough to bring me back even if i do have to spend a little more in gas since i come from Hanford ! I'm just amazed!!! read more

I don't come to the grocery store very often but right now the lady asked me if I found everything I said no I didn't locate tortilla chips she goes. What kind do you want while the guy in front of me had the exact kind I want she scanned them. She said someone's gonna bring them to you. Her name is Linda so he would shut out for great customer service Linda!! read more

The Lady in Self Check Out is so Freaking Rude her name Tara, she was very prejudiced I am white, and my friend is Mexican. We both shared a basket. We both had less than 15 items but together it looked like we both had more she didn't say a word about me and I had 18 items my friend had 15 and she was on her every second saying you cannot bring out here you gotta go get in a different line, she didn't say it very nicely. She said it very rudely and I was really upset. I am extremely a nice person and I never get upset or mad. I was so disappointed in her. I'm gonna write this review because that Store needs to know that Lady should not be in self check out, the rest of the store is good read more

It's a Winco. It's affordable but also pretty ghetto. It's just what you get. It's not gonna stop me from going back.

Large selection and assortment of almost anything you can think of. If you're looking for wax beans, go elsewhere. Anything else, even a wide variety of bulk items this place has it. Service appeared non existent unless you were checking out or at the deli. Most everything was well stocked and easy to find. Store was clean, well lit and easy to get around. Highly recommend WinCo for good selection, good prices, and wide variety of items. read more

The 5 start review is specifically for Lupe in the Deli. She is the kindest lady. I ask for my lunch meat to be cut very thin. Almost shredded. She does it every time with a smile and conversation. Always seems genuinely happy to help. The other gals back there though... they are so shitty & rude. They get pissed when I ask & typically have some slick comment. A lot of the times they will go & slice it and tell me "I can't do it any thinner" knowing damn well they can. Just behind the deli counter being rude for whatever reason. Thanks Lupe for being the Best in the Deli :) read more

It's a good grocery store for our area. Very affordable and pretty clean. Just wish they have more registers open lol never have enough.

Good selection of goods, clean and reasonable prices. Friendly checkers. Parking lots is always dirty.

Love grocery shopping here. especially going in for fresh sushi daily. love the workers always friendly and ready to help!

My sister recently turned me on to WinCo Foods while shopping for the holiday. She knows how to sniff out a bargain and WinCo did not disappoint in the bargain category. This store is interesting. First off, it is huge. It's huge and has a very strange layout as compared to your more mainstream grocers. WinCo is a kind of mix between Costco and Walmart with a nod to Whole Foods with its bulk bins. The store is always very busy and staffed with plenty of helpful employees in each area. WinCo has great prices but is not the store to come to for a good selection of organic produce. There is a large selection of bulk food items, such as cereals, nuts, trail mixes, dried fruit, and candy. You will also find DIY honey and bulk spices at a fraction of its pre-packaged counterparts. At the checkouts, think Food 4 Less and get ready to bag your own groceries. Large parking lot. Open 24 Hours. Credit Cards are not accepted. I highly recommend and I'm excited to learn that there is a WinCo down in Lakewood, CA. read more

Prices were great, selection was great. We are camping @ 3 Rivers, and it is worth the drive. They only accept debit, no credit cards. That's the only drawback, but not a big deal. read more

This is my place to shop. I love the wide aisles, which contain everything that I need at an excellent price. The employees are helpful and will go out of their way to help you find what you want like pickled beets. read more

Someone worked very hard making all this delicious fresh sushi . The service here is very helpful and friendly. The ambiance is employee owned and very low prices. Something for everyone, lots of bulk items, fresh produce, bakery, excellent meat selection! read more

WinCo Foods - Fresh Sushi - Grocery Near Me - Visalia, California

Just have to bag your own stuff plus they don't take credit/debit cards... other than that the food looks good and not too busy.

Winco has always been great. The food is amazing. The prices are great. Everything is affordable. It reminds me of a mini Costco to be honest. What I love about winco is the deli. Much like save mart (which is another review in itself) the deli is ALWAYS on point. I go here almost every day before work to grab a sandwich. Now let me explain why. You pay 2.78$ for a giant sandwich that will last you the entire day, as to where you can go to a sandwich restaurant and pay three times the amount. I tried a croissant turkey, ham, combo type of deal this time around. The date says sell by the 5th, well, today I'm writing a review on the 6th. It's incredibly delicious to say the least, and enough to keep me full for probably the next few hours. I write this as I eat it, and as you can see, I'm taking bites between pictures. I can't help it. Thanks Winco. See you again soon. read more

Once you get over the slight inconvenience of using cash, this place is awesome. Pizza counter in particular is a draw, you'll get a take and bake large for $12, or a full sized calzone for $6. Buck and a half for a fresh loaf of french bread, and the produce and meat is very cheap. Sushi isn't half bad, there are definitely spots in town that make worse rolls. Great value on all sorts of random stuff, candy, peanut butter, coffee, etc. Technically, they're open 24 hrs, but the store is only fully open (deli, fish, pizza, all displays etc.) from 9am - 8pm. read more

Won't include the cashiers name since I already submitted an online complaint. But as a first timer going to WinCo I was unaware of the no CC/Apple Pay rule. I had a debit card it was just in my car and I had to go get it. Cashier decided to completely shame my partner and I to the rest of the clients behind us. read more

Worst customer service ever Most of the cashiers are so slow it's really sad...I worked in a grocery store when I was in high school...would have been fired for being so slow... it's not like they have to know the prices just scan and go... there are a couple of cashiers that are doing a good job but most are not..... read more

Clean, the produce section was great. Customer service also outstanding. We just stopped in for beer but the guy at customer service was friendly and welcoming. read more

Ok, self checkout! My husband and I buy separate groceries and pay separately, but shop together. We share a basket because we generally don't buy much on each trip. It has come to our attention that if we want to use self checkout and are buying a combined amt of over 15 items ( two separate orders), we can only do it if we use two different grocery baskets. Today I had 13 items in bottom part of basket and husband had 7 items on seat part. We were not allowed to go through self checkout at that point. So I got out of line, retrieved an empty basket from front of store, moved my items from original basket to new basket and got back in line while hubby checked out with his items and then had to wait for me. I then put my purchased items back into the shared basket and we left the store. I understand some people take advantage and don't use self checkout according to "rules", but I would think that not allowing two people with small orders be forced to use multiple shopping baskets is silly. How does that cut labor costs or make it convenient for shoppers? It must be cost effective to have someone sit at the front of the line ( with 6 registers) monitor the make up of family units and police who has what. That is in addition to the person who actually has to help shoppers use the self checkout. I complained as this has now happened twice, but it is "policy" and apparently there is no common sense flexibility going to happen. By the way, when we do buy a significant amount of groceries, we go through the regular checkout. I've never been in any other store with self checkout employees that diligently make it difficult for us to make our purchases. read more

I love the bulk food area. Fresh ground nut butters without added oils and sugar. The apples are the best in any market in the area.

It is 2024, can Winco please get Apple Pay or Tap to pay and make everyone's life slightly easier when shopping in this place

Hi! i have been shopping at Winco since i moved from L.A. to Three Rivers, CA., the "heartland" of CA. 12 years now. i love the store--super prices & well stocked... great bread! I HAVE NEVER written a review or a complaint, but after being ripped off with disgusting quality i just have to. i have had decent maguro & rolls from the little sushi bar for a few years... THIS CHRISTMAS we spent $70 on all the sushi we could put in our cart for a party.... GUESS WHAT?? it was disgusting! WHO EVER MADE THIS HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING---the fish was okay, but the rice was foul--squished tightly in a rock-hard ball--this person has NO TRAINING WHATSOEVER---then, 2 days ago, my husband forgot how bad it was & bought more.... THIS TIME, the rock hard rice ball was topped with see-through pieces of fish!! it was ridiculous! SHAME ON YOU WINCO. we ordered a pizza. ugh. read more

Spent a whole hour shopping to get told they don't accept credit AT ALL. Had I known, or had it been posted on entrances to the store, I would not have wasted my time nor have encountered a rude employee. Sorry you had to put all that back but that could have been prevented. So inconvenient!! read more

The service is always outstanding! The produce is always good and the pricing is great. I especially like the bulk bin items.

The quality of the produce, bin items, meats, and dairies are excellent.... price and selections and amazing employee customer service leads to excellent shopping every time! read more

WinCo Foods - WinCo Foods in Visalia has been my "go to" well over a decade since it opened... and Les from customer service is where it's at... - Grocery Near Me - Visalia, California

Cons: NOT FRESH produce! Just brought home these bags of apples, unfortunately this is not the first time something like this has happened (dairy, meat & produce) Pro: friendly staff & cool bins full of stuff read more

WinCo Foods - JUST unloaded my groceries to find Winco sold me a bag with rotten apples :( - Grocery Near Me - Visalia, California

I live in Oakland California, and I might actually drive all the way to Visalia to go grocery shopping from now on. This store is awesome. They have a huge selection of just about everything. They even had fat free Fig Newtons. Produce department is well stocked. Check stands were fast. Only discrepancy, the first carton of milk I grabbed expired 2 weeks ago. Were it not for that, there'd be five stars for sure. read more

Limited selection but excellent pricing. The store is clean and not cluttered. The staff always helpful and courteous. The parking lot is your typical grocery store parking lot. Since was it okay to walk behind cars that are backing up. Society has lost their mind. Why do people try and walk behind a four thousand pound vehicle. I really like this store. I prefer to bag my own groceries. You can bag the refrigerated items together. I would try to avoid the weekends it is much busier. read more

WinCo Foods - Sushi time - Grocery Near Me - Visalia, California

The seafood section is going to kill someone. On September 1st, my boyfriend and I went to Winco to do our shopping for the first part of the month. He had just returned from being away working for a month so we decided to splurge a little and get lobster tails for dinner with my parents. We got 4 of the 4oz lobster tails. This was our first time getting them from the Visalia Winco. We never had any problems with lobster tails from Wincos in other cities - they were always great. So we expected them to be the same. We considered getting a few oysters as well, but after seeing that many were open, we knew they were no longer good and should be thrown out. They were like that every time we wanted to get some previously, so we never got any. An open oyster is a dead oyster, and they have a life expectancy of 4 days once they are harvested. Who knows how long these have been here. We steered clear of those - that should have been a red flag not to get the lobsters. We boiled them up shortly after we got home and let them cool. My boyfriend starts shelling them and notices a strong ammonia odor. Neither of us had smelled that before when cooking shellfish - this can't be safe. A quick internet search confirmed they were seriously spoiled. Like more than a little bit spoiled. It smelled like it was marinated in ammonia. We took them back to Winco, and they did give us a refund. We also informed them that their oysters and clams were all bad, they were all open. Customer service pretty much told us NO, that they are checked every hour and got us out of there as fast as they could. The following day, we returned to get a few more things and we stopped by the seafood counter to see if the spoiled oysters were removed and replaced with good, unopened ones or if they were just going to be out until the next shipment. To our surprise, we saw every oyster TAPED CLOSED with blue tape. There was no ice under them. ALL OF THEM WERE TAPED CLOSED INSTEAD OF BEING THROWN OUT! I took pictures of them. This really happened. I will never get anything from their seafood counter again. I will upload a photo showing the spoiled food for sale. They are going to kill someone with food poisoning. We returned yesterday, Sept. 8th, and took a peek at the seafood again, oysters still taped closed. Were these the same ones we saw on Sept. 1st and 2nd? Maybe? I still shop here because of the low prices on pantry stuff, dairy, and produce, but I am probably going to be getting my seafood elsewhere. I was also surprised to see so many reviews about rude employees, I have never had a problem with any of the employees. So Winco, 4 stars on the rest of the store because I'm happy with everything else, but you don't carry many items I am used to buying at Winco or it would be a 5. (no more crushed jar ginger, the tea section is really small, sometimes the checkstands are filthy, the restroom is always kind of gross) read more

WinCo Foods - Spoiled Seafood for Sale! Read my review!!!! - Grocery Near Me - Visalia, California

Great place but the one thing I hate about it they don't take Apple Pay or any tap to pay forgot my wallet to day had to wait for my bro to bring some cash because I can't use my debit cat on my phone wallet read more

Apparently this location hates RV travelers. We arrived last night to restock on groceries and some low form of management felt threatened and called the police and lied about how long we have been here. We live near Porterville and came to this area to escape some of the heavy smoke from the near by fires and spent hundreds of dollars at your store. But not again, we're done with all winco locations. read more

I was able to get a clean cart at the door, personnel was friendly and offered help when they saw me looking at aisles signs. Store was clean and easy to navigate (not blocked) Shelves were well stocked, cashier was friendly and courteous. I would recommend WinCo Foods, I'll be back! read more

Winco is literally my favorite grocery store chain to visit! I miss having regular access to them, and they're probably one of the few places I've been to where it seems that every person is familiar with service dog/ADA laws and they follow them. I love the fresh food they have made in front of you and you know it's fresh because half the time you have to wait a few minutes for them to bring out more. Finally the employees are generally pretty fast at ringing people up so there is no need to go to self-checkout. They're one of my favorite stores! read more

My favorite supermarket! I lived in Chicago, NorCal and SoCal and I like this gem in central valley more than anything. The only thing that beats it is a farmers market but for supermarkets this is the best. I love that they have a massive bulk food section, just bring your own cotton bags and they will weigh your bags. It is very eco-friendly! I love that. I have never once used a plastic bag at this grocery store! I love the seafood here - I got scallops, salmon, etc. The service is amazing and there is so much selection. I can't wait to come back! read more

I was debating between Fried Chicken or Sushi . I made the mistake of buying the California Rolls. Either I bought the dud package or the Sushi overall wasn't tasty. The Rice was not soft, Avocado tasted stale and just wasn't desirable....... I should of bought the Fried Chicken. read more

WinCo Foods - California Rolls weren't desirable - Grocery Near Me - Visalia, California

They don't have these in my neck of the woods. Lots of bright lights and brighter lollipops. My kid almost broke his neck craning it with all the great stuff he wanted to con me into buying. We walked out with milk and Oreos. Mom win, sort of. Thanks, WinCo. read more

I won't come back here!! Went in there 3-12 at around 1am. All the stockers were taking a break in the front so my girlfriend and I thought let's hurry and get out! So we went all the way to the back to get my deli meats then went to the other side to the dairy I noticed the boxes and carts were blocking the exit so I told my girlfriend to stay back while I was getting our yogurt. As soon as I got the yogurt a worker blocked me he was 3ft from me didn't even say anything?! As I started walking away I heard 'Chink' as I left the isle I heard "look at the chino" from the other employees!! No other shoppers just me I talked to the manager the next day Amy Gonzales she said she'll watch the video then follow up with me, to give her a week. A week later nothing I contact another manager a Hispanic guy that wouldn't give me his name. He said that he'll follow up?! Nothing another week of nothing!!! I won't go to this place anymore?! I'll talk to Boise I believe it's their corporate location! These people are unprofessional racist!!! I'm glad I found out instead of giving these guys another penny! read more

Prices are great and the produce is pretty good. But when I was shopping there yesterday there were 4 or 5 flies inside the donut case. I let the cashier know who called the bakery, which apparently was already aware. I don't know for how long, but I hope it got taken care of quickly. I still plan on shopping there and it's the first time in 2 years something came up. read more

Went into Winco on Sunday. Store was busy but lines went by fast. We ended up in Les line to check out. After working a long day at work he made our day. Customer service was very excellent patient with us and even made us laugh a few times. He really just made our ending of a Sunday night after spending almost 200$ at Winco quite a nice and warm feeling! Much appreciated customers:) read more
