“Great selection of fresh produce and meats. They have had the opportunity for years to hire a front of house manager and it continues to be an opportunity for improvement in 2026.”

“Great spot to get basic Indian spices! I love the bitter melon chips they sell. They used to sell food, their curries were delicious but they only sell samosas now. Samosas are delicious:)”
“Shout out to Myra the manager at this location for her promptness and customer service.
There were other managers walking around the store that literally made eye contact with me but would not even come up to me and inquire about why I was standing there.
Store location needs to recognize her attributes and skills when it comes to people.
Thank you, Myra for being the only one to come up and help me!”
“So here is the deal. I am half afraid to share this because this place is a gem ?! I can buy wonder marinated meats.. ceviche.. dairy.. chicharron.. and a bunch of produce and hit only $80. Sometimes $70 and sometimes $50. They have a smoothie bar that’s probably the best one around…. As the produce is right there, The fresh produce looks better and is ripe and great looking and better than Bristol farms or whole paycheck. It’s a fast shopping store with a fresh hot food to go as well - and it’s aaaahmazing!! do not expect big grocery carts here. It’s fresh ripe food that you eat this week or in the next few days. I truly love this shop as it’s perfect for me by myself and even better when there were more of us. Just for reference they had beautifully RIPE RED SWEET SMELLING strawberries for under $3 a pack, like RIPE RED strawberries- not those white topped unripe hard bland berries like at a regular store. Really. Even the butcher shop is really really awesome. It is not the same as a big grocery store chain but everything has been fantastic. I don’t speak Spanish but every single person there has been great and it’s nice to shop in a place without having to listen to the obnoxious thinly veiled racism from other customers directed at others. Bravo to this store. You could in fact get all your weekly groceries here just fine. I mostly do - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Looked all over the city for pork shoulder to roast. No where only cut up boneless loin chops. Smart n Final you had a perfect whole pork shoulder roast. Octoberfest in full swing! Will check back for a whole turkey on sale in November.”
“i would consider grocery outlet to be a place where you can definitely get fun snacks or unique food items, but isn't necessarily great for essentials. they have some fresh produce but it can be hit or miss.”
“I love this spot for Mexican sweet bread because of the price. Their bread is a hit or miss though because some can be stale but they are full of flavor and definitely worth it for the price (about $1 each) They have a variety of products from Mexico. Everyone who works here is also so kind! Will definitely be coming back. Bread: 8/10 Service: 10/10”
“Stopped by here for a tray of their delicious tortilla chips and took one look at their Chile rellenos and had to try one. So glad I did. They're huge and sooooo delicious. The service is always great, staff is always super friendly, place is always clean.”
“The Grand West Coast extension of the Kroger empire, I found another broad selection of decently well organized famous and store brands with the usual assortment of unusual new stuff looking overpriced as always since 2020. The price gouging is wild beyond moral especially at Walmart and Target but at least Kroger and Aldi have some sense of decency and price out expiring items well.”
“One of the larger Ralph's locations with most of what you would expect from one of the major Kroger brands. On our several visits the store has been clean, well faced, with everything in order. If you need a comprehensive grocery stop, this is a good option. The only downside to many Ralph's locations is isles that are a bit narrower than most other major chains. If one has mobility issues, this could be a bit of a problem.”
“I have tried most of the products and well satisfied with the taste and the quality. Please ignore the negative comments about the products. I beieve they are biased and do not honestly serve the public.”
“Excellent variety of healthful foods, snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplements. Friendly staff, clean store, plentiful parking. Prices are moderate to high, not unusual for a specialty store such as this.”
