Rating 3.5I frequent this location and feel the vast majority of employees and management are fabulous. The one consistent issue I have is the meat and seafood department, as many times there is just nobody there. If you need more employees, hire them. If you can't, then someone really needs to be cross-trained to work that counter when they go on break or have other tasks to fulfill. At the very least a manager needs to step up, as it can't be unmanned at 6 PM on a Saturday. Multiple times I have stood back there and had to call the main phone number to tell them nobody is there. Not for nothing, but this has literally never happened to me at Giant, ACME, or Fresh Market. It has to stop as it happens all the time.Another problem is the breakfast meats section, where expired products are routinely on display for sale. I have seen sausage that was weeks past date, as shown in the photo. It is a common issue and not a one time thing.All that said, the store is convenient and the people are nice. The self-checkout works great. This could be a 5 star store without a ton of effort and changes.UPDATE 3/9/2024: They want to speak with me and are concerned, yet once again I go in at 5:30 on a Friday (yesterday) looking to get a nice steak, and the meat/seafood counter is dark. I waited about 15 min before snapping the picture on this review with the timestamp showing. I wound up just leaving and going to Giant. It is frustrating an inexcusable for this happen constantly.

Horrible experience at the Rehobath beach Safeway. We made appoints for vaccine shots through the Safeway web site. After arriving we were informed by the Pharmacist to wait for the Tech. There was one couple ahead of us who had an appointment as well. The technician came out and boldly stated WE (I) only give inoculations between 10-2 - so we were SOL. We explained to SUSAN that we made the appointment through the Safeway web, and furthermore there were no visible signs posted by the pharmacy. At this point SUSAN became rude, obnoxious and acted like a tyrant. We immediately went to the store manager Tom who apologized and stated he would speak to her. We will never shop at this store. The one star rating goes to the store manager. Dear Safeway management - try to hire people mor people like Tom that have customer service skills and train others who don’t (SUSAN)

A little frustrating , we went in hoping for some seafood, really wanted some king crab legs . At that dept we saw plenty of them in the case , the dept was closed and there were none bagged up and no one in the entire store could or would give us a bag of them . Such a shame to have them displayed and not be able to purchase any.

I give mad kudos to the dark hair lady manager and she's always so bubbly and so kind I don't know what her name is but I will find out the next time I go in

Why do you have a CREEP working in your grocery section. His unpleasant attitude needs to stay where nobody can see it.P.S. People helping at cash register are always nice.

The variety Safeway has is nothing short of incredible. I could have easily spent two hours or more going up and down each aisle looking at everything they had on the shelves. It was only supposed to be a quick stop to get a cake from the bakery, and I ended up spending way more than I should have. Warning! Don't go into a grocery store hungry.Unfortunately, the customer service skills of the cashiers are terrible, absolutely terrible, like everywhere else these days. I can only hope that things will change sooner rather then later.

I came to this store at 6:30pm to get salmon for dinner. The seafood counter was closed with no employees available. That’s the second time I’ve had this happen. It appeared only 2 employees worked here at all: one restocking product and one monitoring self-checkout. There was not a single checkout lane open other than self checkout which is so frustrating. This store needs to get some help. I avoid it as much as possible.

Here's why I love the Rehoboth Beach Safeway:CLEAN: My number one choice here is the Safeway. It blows my mind how every time I go there 95% of the time the place is pretty much the cleanest I've ever seen any grocery store in the area. Look at the pictures I uploaded, it seems to always look like that.PRICES: Okay I know most everybody is going to say Aldi. But I have to take into account that I downloaded the Safeway app. I've gotten as much as 80 cents off a gallon for gas at Safeway! Some locals DON'T EVEN REALIZE they sell gasoline there. Sometimes I get $0.10 off a gallon. Sometimes 30 cents, sometimes 50 cents, it depends on how much you spend. And using the app the way it's supposed to be used, I've actually saved more money than I spent on one occasion! You just have to learn how to shop on the app before you go to the store.PHARMACY: Hey I grew up in a pharmacy. My dad owned a mom and pop pharmacy. I know what it's about from "being behind the other side of the counter." The pharmacy at Safeway is stupendous, ask for Stephen. He hasn't been a pharmacist long, but his service is exceptional. He's gone out of his way for me so many times. I actually wrote a note to the President of Safeway thanking him for having pharmacists like Stephen on the Safeway team. And guess what? The Safeway pharmacy is hardly ever busy, and the price is are very good.MEATS: I know I'm going to get a lot of contrasting opinions here, and I know Aldi has good meats at a good price. I recommend you try the petite sirloin at Safeway. The price per pound is super reasonable. I mean really affordable. And the cut is just as good as it gets for the price. On the grill of course!POULTRY: I'm sorry, but I mostly eat organic chicken. It's just a thing with me. I like to choose what kind of organic chicken I want, and the Safeway usually has four different brands. But it's a little bit more expensive than Aldi. I tend to buy it when it's on sale, so the pricing is comparable.SEAFOOD: You might knock the seafood at Safeway, but I don't know if you realize you can order just about anything that's special a few days in advance at a price you can afford. Ask Rick. He's the seafood department manager, he's super knowledgeable, for example you can get wild caught seabass for the best price in town just order a couple days in advance.ORGANIC: Okay, I have to go with Safeway again. They've got those sprinkler sprayers, always well stocked, always reasonable, pretty dang big selection of organics produce in my opinion.VARIETY: You've probably figured it out. I'm going with Safeway again. They have the broadest selection of everything, and the most organized, and well stocked. I grew up in retail, I don't know how they do it, the place is always organized and fully stocked.SPECIAL DEALS: in the back of the store next to the pharmacy, there's four racks that have clearance items they're getting rid of, sometimes up to 75% off.FLOWERS: Absolutely the best prices on cut flowers in town. 10 bucks for a dozen roses and they always look fabulous! Orchids too. Really a strong flower department. Guess where? Safeway.MANAGEMENT: I've brought a few things to the attention of the manager, he is simply amazing, his name's Tom. You need it, he'll take care of it.And by way of transparency, no I don't have stock in Safeway, I don't work there, and I don't have relatives that work there. I just want to save money and have a good shopping experience.

This is one of the best stcoked and cleanest and brightest Safeway stores I've been in. The folks working there are generally very pleasant. There is good parking and gas right in the parking lot. The pharmacy is good for me and nice prices too.

Clean store, good selection. As a grocery store it's fine, it's just ridiculously expensive. Would recommend going somewhere not on Coastal Hwy if you need a lot of stuff.

I am a Safeway fan and it is the only one in the area and not that close. The items I wanted to buy were in short supply or not in stock and the season hasn't hit yet.
