Fantastic Safeway location, probably the best one in north shore. This Safeway doesn't seem to experience the same understaffing issues that many nearby locations suffer from, and I've never had a hard time getting exceptional service at the deli or being very quickly checked out on the way out. If you're anywhere near King's Beach it may even be worth it to go a bit out of your way if the alternative is an inferior budget chain of some kind.

More expensive than usual for groceries and alcohol is significantly more limited compared to Raley's nearby.

I love this Safeway even it is located in a tourist town! The main reason is that its Asian food is really good considering there are really not many Asian restaurants nearby. I even got nice buns from the Deli.

All the bad reviews come from grumpy tourists who don't understand how things work in a tourist town. Your bound to have lines with an understaffed business when you're going at peak times. This establishment can't handle the thousands of people that come in day in and day out in peak seasons. And whatever complaints people have about the workers were most likely their own faults. Stupid questions get stupid answers. If you're upset about the service and how busy it is then why don't you just stay at your homes in florida or the Bay Area or whatever depressing shit hole place you came from. I've witnessed the abuse of workers here first hand and for all you Karen's and kens who come running to Yelp afterwards why don't you make all our lives easier and just shut the fuck up. These people work their asses off and deserve none of the stick you vile people are giving them. Don't like it? Shop somewhere else goodluck finding a place that will tolerate your terrible attitudes and even worse personalities. Every bad review on here means nothing it's just a bunch of pissed off rich pricks who know nothing about being tolerable human beings.

How would one know this cost $7.99 without a Safeway card? No other labels on the packaging or other signage nearby. Annoyed to only figure this out at checkout.

Really wish Safeway kings beach would enforce Covid safety measures. All doors say masks are required and many many people ignore this. As someone with a high risk family member I need all of the precautions I can get. Masks may not be 100% effective but every little bit helps

Maria R. In deli is always super helpful and always there to greet me with a smile. The meat department guys have also been great. Pro tip, don't come in during the tourist rush. If you're a local you already know this.

Memorable but not in a great way. The Starbucks barista with the leopard print mask was insanely rude. 2/3 drinks were made incorrectly and the third drink she refused to fill the iced coffee to the top. I always tip well at every coffee shop but regretted it this day.

This place is eventually going to be responsible for several suicides and murders in the north Lake Tahoe area. Only the strongest human being is able to withstand a place that operates with two registers in the middle of summer tourist season, then pages once overhead for register help to which no one responds. The worst.

We have been going to this Safeway for years as it's the closest store to our (former) family cabin. I can't ever recall a visit where I had any interaction with any of the staff. Until our last visit. We went up for a day trip and stopped into Safeway for sandwiches.

The laziest rudest Starbucks barista made my drink wrong cus she had a long line & it was "too much". Horrible service! Hope they replace her with someone who actually enjoys working!

This review is specifically for the deli / sushi bar area. I stopped there yesterday looking for a quick ready-to-eat lunch. My goodness the people working behind the counter were not very courteous! Their borderline rude demeanor made me think they should get other jobs if they are so unhappy there. I spoke to 3 different people and they were all snippy. I really wasn't asking for much. They could have been more polite. Left a really bad impression.

This place is so ridiculous! I am definitely calling the corporate office to complain about the management. I know for a fact it is unacceptable for the lines to be this long an for only one person to be checking out the whole store. I have now been waiting in like for 37 mins. And it hasn't really moved. What bothers me is the cashiers an the baggers aren't even trying to hurry. They are taking their time and just Lolly gagging. This is totally unacceptable and unprofessional So after waiting so long a checker came to the end of the line to grab people to check out. Instead of taking people from the front of the line who have been waiting. This place is an embarrassment for Safeway. I will be contacting corporate and demanding a change of management and staff. It's a joke

Wow, maybe I'm just spoiled as a native to the east coast where a dozen eggs cost less than a dollar. The prices were unbelievable. My total bill was over $300.00 which has lasted a week. $300.00 where I'm from will buy one months worth of food. This city needs an Aldi out here . It was a nice store but I cannot get over how much the product costs.

Lines are always long. You pay way above average for groceries. You bag your own groceries while also being expected to move the line along and get the heck out of there. Some staff members don't wear masks. No mask enforcement. Oh, and they recently charged me over $15 for one bunch of green onions. This place has always operated like a bad joke.
