“This is a great little market with fresh meats/ produce, a deli and convenience store fare. The store is small but very clean and has an interesting assortment of chips, ice cream and other goodies. There is a kitchen inside where you can order breakfast foods, wraps, salads and other on-site prepared food. The service here was friendly too, so no doubt we'll be back on a future visit to the area.”

“Incredibly kind staff that loves to help you find what you’re looking for as well as some options you may love (if you like early grey, get the Grey Moonlight). Great and affordable options for both spices and tea. 10/10”

“Folks, this fruit stand is an absolute gem in San Diego County! I only wish there were more of them. If this were Florida, there would be an enormous billboard on the highway advertising this establishment (Next Exit, Fresh Fruit!). However, this place is easily missed unless one were exiting onto State Route 76. The fruit is fresh, and the honey is absolutely great. Locally sourced, it would be hard to find a selection as good as this one. Remember, this is a mom & pop fruit stand, so they may run out of your favorites or they might not be in season. Also, cash is king in this type of establishment so please don't "ding" them if they don't accept Apple Pay. Now that I know they are there, I stop by whenever I'm on I-15 and passing Rt. 76.”

“We are local to Valley Center and I love being able to get things I need for dinner without leaving town. They have a large selection of beer, wine and liquor. Decent amount of produce and a butcher counter with a good variety of meats. I asked to have my pork butt sliced thinly and they were happy to accommodate me. Lots of parking in the big parking lot.”

“I have to bring attention to the Stater Brothers Meat Department. I have considered Stater Brothers to be one of the best places to buy meat. I am yet to be disappointed, and with Christmas out of the way I am able to finally thank them. Christmas Day we decided to grill some steaks on the grill and Stater Brothers on the South 79 was much obliged. I order the Prime cut Filets and the Butcher had them ready Christmas Eve morning. They were to die for and could have possibly put any great Steakhouse Restaurants to shame. The cuts were top of the line and literally you almost didn't need a steak knife to cut them. A big Thank you to Stater Brothers for making our Christmas Dinner epic.”

“Jacob that works the register is amazing. I left my purse in my cart while off loading my groceries and I completely spaced and just left it. After clearing my groceries into my house I realized my purse wasn't with me. Jacob got a hold of it somehow and he put it away in the office. Words can't express how appreciative I am! Some people don't care and live their lives and some go out of their way to help others.”

“The owners work there all the time. They are great people and will try to help you from time to time. It's not expensive there it's reasonable prices. Cigarettes are expensive there but other then that a great family place. But they charge you for using your credit card or debit card. 🤑”

“Normal shopping day, but I witnessed a horrible scene at the seafood area, an elder gentleman was asking for some item, and the employee attending was very rude, customer asked a question about the product and the employee was not responding, customer asked again " I'm asking you a question and you are not giving me an answer " employee just bagged the seafood and threw it on top of the glass displayed, not one word out of his mouth. I walked away. I was with my kid and was so upset that bad words would've come out of my mouth. Employees need more training and tought some manners.”

“This used to be a 7-Eleven which was great because I would get endless rewards. This place is still decent in terms of prices but still needs a little bit of help in terms of cleanliness and organization. Fuel prices are decent but a little bit pricey compared to the Horizon station a few miles north. Compared to the Harrah's gift shop this is a good bit in terms of getting snacks candy drinks sodas etc. I'll be back for sure.”

“Stopped by today to see how the sandwich counter is working, for a long time they took away ordering options and all the veggies except lettuce and tomato, so we stopped going there because we normally order sandwich's and do a little shopping while the "made to order" sandwich's are being crafted. Today we dropped by and... Yeah! the veggie options are back! We ordered 2 sandwich's and were pleasantly suprised, as Lourdes helped us out with a special request and made the best sandwich's we have ever experienced at Sprouts. Thank you Lourdes for bringing us back to Sprouts! We will try to stop by only when Lourdes is working.”

“It's a nice store, but: tldr; two uninformed employees result in aggravation lol I ordered Daily Crave Sriracha Lentil Chips and the only option was "ship" - pickup and delivery were unavailable. So I ordered 7 bags and received them this morning. Of those, 6 were flat (did not hold hold air) Additionally, the first thing I saw when I took them out of the box was loose chips in the bottom. Since I had been shopping the local Vail Ranch site intending to pick up when I ordered these chips, I called the store to ask how to return these. I was told I had to bring them in to the store to return (20 mile round trip). When I got to the store and explained the issue, the cashier told me Ralph's doesn't ship, it had to have been instacart. (hinting that Instacart was responsible) I showed her the order on my phone, showing it was purchased and shipped directly from Ralph's, but she continued to say they don't ship, and that I had to have gotten them somewhere else. OMG it was right there on my phone in black and white, on the Ralph's site, that I ordered them from Ralph's and they were shipped from Ralph's. She then said she had to figure out where I got the chips from before she could do anything, since they don't ship, and I said no, I've shown you the order number and the order; you have to handle this return, then figure out what you don't know later. I was pretty PO'd. So just to make sure, I came home, went online, put bags of the same chips in my cart and it said again, "Pickup not available", "Delivery not available" and "Ship" was the only option. Click on the pic below to see what I mean. So, the first problem was calling the store and receiving incorrect information; I should have been told I could do a return online, or call a Customer Service line for online returns, and not told to bring them in to the store. Second problem was the cashier not knowing Ralph's has products that are *only* available for shipping, and that they come up in a search when online shopping a local store. I started the order with the intention to pick up curbside, but...yada yada yada”

“Due to it's close proximity to our home and the fact that CVS and the Postal Annex, both of which I also frequent, are in the same shopping area, Ralph's has been my default grocery store for most items. It's a large store with lots of parking always available. They have a Starbucks, pharmacy, nice floral area, bakery, deli and more. Both the produce and meat sections have plenty of organic options. I usually use Total Wine or Costco for liquor purchases, but in a pinch, Ralph's has a great selection. They carry lots of cheeses and other charcuterie items right next to the deli. One minor complaint I have is that there is almost always a wait to place a deli order; they could definitely use some more staff there. I have a Kroger (Ralphs) reward card to scan for any sale prices and it also means I receive coupons targeted to my previous purchases. The staff that I've interacted with have been friendly and helpful. This Ralph's is a great store that I'll continue to frequent!”

“I came here to get some local winery bottles for cheaper! Haha, a local gave me the tip, and told me the Wilson Creek Winery bottles were less than $10 here. I like how they know tourists are in the area, so they put the wines right in the front from local wineries. A nice, clean store, with smiling employees. The place was packed with people and the shelves were fully stocked. The only thing is you can't do self check out with alcohol. I thought the store was clean, but I didn't go into every aisle. Just the front area and the chips aisle.”

“Staff was friendly, but be patient sometimes it may be crowded and they only have one person working. The prices were a little high. That's what you expect when you don't go shopping before arriving.”

“Really organized and has awesome deals! I was really surprised by how stocked and organized they were. Everything looked really neat and they seemed to have all of the groceries I needed. Food looked fresh and everyone there is really nice! This is definitely one of the more calmer and quieter grocery stores -- which I like. I'm able to shop in peace and don't have to wait in any crazy long lines. Their deals are pretty good and it's always easy to apply my membership at checkout. Will definitely be stopping by more often! :)”
