“Fantastic deli service at this location. Called with less than 48 hours notice and they pleasantly and gladly helped with three exceptional platters. To top that off the young man in the deli offered to carry them to my car. People at our function raved about the quality and presentation. Thank you Royal Oak you went above and beyond when cobble hill location would not.”
“Small space with a very amazing selection of good products. Quality veg., seafood and meat. Good bread, dairy.. everything! Deli is good. A great community member who gives back to local schools and events.”
“Easy to get to with plenty of parking. The store is a self serve shop but the staff is there to help you locate items. Very friendly. Definite must go for your prepared foods.”
“This may be one of the smaller Red Barn locations on the island. Due to this fact, their selection is inevitably smaller. The parking situation is also not the most convenient, due to its proximity to a set of lights. A location that offers some convenience, but all things considered this is not one of the better Red Barn locations in the Victoria area.”
“I have had multiple exceptional customer service experiences with Jose. The first experience I had with Jose was at self checkout. I was blown away by how helpful, patient, and genuinely kind he was. Today, my 4 year old daughter knocked over our cart and items spilled all over the floor. Before I could even fully assess the situation, Jose saw what happened, came running over, and rectified the situation completely. Thank you for being so attentive and consistently going above and beyond, Jose!”
“I absolutely love the root cellar, the staff are always so friendly and seem genuinely happy to help. They have a great selection of local products that makes shopping Canadian/local easy!”
“This one worker whom I can’t remember his name is so helpful and super awesome! He gave me recommendations on food that has good reviews and I was pleasantly surprised! Thanks for having such a good store!”
“The samosas taste was very good-almost best in Victoria.Price is reasonable for other Indian stuff. The customer service was very good. Thank you for your service.”
“Called into the floral department to get a bouquet sent to my mother for her birthday. I couldn't have asked for anything better then what they created! It was perfect!
Red to match her birthstone. All the flowers were perfect and last long. Peruvian lilly, Ranunculus, and Gerber Daisies.
Thank you for helping make her day!”
“A great grocery store that specializes in organic items. From nutritional yeast to salted caramel cream puffs to British foods, this store has a large and varied selection of items. It is worth checking out to see all the unique items in stock.”
“Employees friendly and nicely designed store. Very nicely thought out, and creative layout. Because of all the positives it is quite busy. Parking is a bit of an issue.”
“Been shopping here for years even when they had a shop on Yates: place is amazing great selection of Korean foods from fresh to frozen! So many options and very good affordable prices; keeps me out of H Mart; support local family owned shops! I got help from the owner as I’m not Korean so I had a few questions; very helpful. Love this store and the products. Clean and organized store, lots of parking.
Glad to continue shopping here. Please support this local family run store! They’re great! ?”
“The supermarket is big enough to have a good selection of products but not so big that it has long lineups so it's very quick to get through the checkout. Lots of parking of course. My only beef is that it takes coins to get a regular size shopping cart so I always end up using the small ones.”
“Bought some super close to closing time while on long drive to visit relatives, Kim and Josie took the time to have it warmed up for me. Also was a very well made and tasty. Thx guys ?”

“I love coming into this corner store sometimes for a treat. A bit tight but great selection of stuff and family is friendly and helpful, engages in small talk which is nice. :)”
“Solid, well stocked grocery store with good selection. On site bakery. Good cheese options.
Parking lot can be a bit of a zoo.
Excellent florist.
Bakery hit or miss. Erratic quality for Birthday Cakes but it really varies depending who is working.
Staff always willing to stop whatever they are doing to help.”
“Their customer service is top notch. A special shout out to Jared who made every possible effort to help us find what we were looking for. It was a very special evening for my friend and we wanted to make it more memorable. Thanks to Jared who made it happen. :)”
“Great small supermarket, fantastic custom-created large sandwiches, great fresh local produce, discount cards for 10% off available periodically, weekly specials for good products.”
“Fairway Market on Mckenzie and Shelbourne is a good store especially for Chinese food ingredients. It has all the usual grocery goods along with a fair selection of Asian ingredients.”
“I like it! Small footprint full-service grocery store with small-town, big-city cornerstore feel.
Parking can be an issue (as most parking in Sidney is). Frequently stop in for picnic staples when visiting Sidney for its awesome thrift store shopping.
Customer service is excellent. The store can get congested. There is good a selection of fresh seafood and a variety of ethnic groups specialties.
Again, parking lot is small and can be challenging for pedestrians as well as drivers. Otherwise, a good place :).”
“I enjoy M & M's foods, I've never had an issue with anythingI've bought there.
When I'm tired & don't feel like cooking, these meals are perfect. Pastas are great, chicken lasagna is one of my favourite's right now, it's packed with nice tender chicken.
The hors-d'oeuvre are very nice as well, meats are tender, desserts are tasty.
And the half baguettes are very good!”
“This market is primarily staffed by first Nations from the area, and it is one reason I go shopping there. I like to be connected to these communities, and I find that the service is heart felt, and people are just so helpful they are!”
“Save on as been 1 of my favorite grocery stores for a long time they did something for me when I lived in Parksville i won't ever forget they actually delivered a package of pork chops to my house when I got my pork chops home from the store and they were bad and I had planned a dinner party that night so they sent someone with a new package to my house immediately and no charge!
so ever since then I've liked shopping at Save-on their prices could be a little better but their specials are usually really good so shop the flier the staff is very friendly and helpful has been my experience also”
“I'm always impressed with Save on Foods Deli. They introduced Deli Daily specials which I really think it's making the Deli even better. I tried the 2 piece of pizza for 6 was really tasty. I will definitely buy from here the next time I'm in Save on Foods”
“Great store chain! We were travelling and stayed nearby for a few days, and this store was a lifesaver! The prices are pretty good and the products are awesome. Specifically, the meat is of unimaginable quality!!! We bought minced beef, and it was delicious; we could actually feel that it was different from the usual Vancouver store-bought minced beef. I Would definitely recommend it for anyone travelling through the area!”
“I love the young crew cashiers who always have a chance to make a good jokes while checking out. There is an employee named Jas that always waves at my kiddo and I appreciate her kindness. I freaking love the bakery and cakes, I eat it all then complain I’m twenty pounds over weight! lol”
“My wife & I visited the Save on Foods Pharmacy in Sidney BC today by appointment to get the RSV vaccine. We were looked after by Paul, who was outstanding. Not only did he review all our prescription meds against recent bloodwork/lab results, but he also advised on what vaccines we should consider to maintain protection and also for upcoming international travel. He was also awesome at slipping in the needle so smoothly that I wasn't sure he'd done the job ? Efficient, friendly, & knowledgeable....thanks Paul!”
“Saturday morning I tripped and fell outside the Blanshard street store. Two customers were very helpful taking me into the store and your staff were wonderful at dealing with my bruised face, badly bruised left hand and broken glasses. Many thanks to everyone who helped me. Beryl Evans”
“Love shopping here. The staff are always pleasant and always willing to give you help if you ask them. They never make you feel that you are being rushed through the checkout and always help in any way.”
