On the positive side, the store is VERY clean, well laid out, and unlike some "Grocery Outlet" stores you could easily do a "full shop" at this particular store. The produce is fresh, though the department is on the smaller side. There are endless aisles of merchandise and the selection is vast....which is unlike another GO I have visited down in Santa Clara, many hours to the south. You will find obscure and interesting beer, which was a nice surprise....I spotted stuff you would usually have to go to a BevMo or a Total Wine (or very good specialty liquor store) to find. The plants out in front are also a nice touch and very convenient for customers.
But, here's the drawbacks. There is no "Perimeter" -- Deli, Bakery etc like a normal big chain (Think Safeway, Raleys, Savemart). The prices on everyday items seem to be inline/just as expensive as with the large traditional supermarkets. You can easily do MUCH BETTER on many items just by going to Safeway and playing their "games" such as "Five Dollar Friday" and using their digital coupons (Examples: Beer for 13 something a 12 pack (sale pricing) , 20 something at GO (everyday pricing), Safeway also runs insane 1.97 cheese sales). Other things I noticed on my several visits is that the "help" is not very friendly, and the cashiers are indifferent, chatting intensely with the baggers, or borderline rude. This is isn't the polite June Cleaver experience you get at a normal grocery store. I will say they do an excellent job having enough lanes open.
The other thing which comes to mind is that, in other towns, you often have a FoodsCo, Winco or a Food4Less type of store (warehouse grocery store) where you can quite literally, walk out with a shopping cart that has DOUBLE the food items for half the price. This is not that experience. This is a store which talks about bargains and appeals primarily to a money challenged crowd but delivers a passable shopping experience with some occasional good buys/rare items thrown in.
If you want a "treasure hunt" (example cool beer/interesting wine), or happen to be very close by, this store is a worthwhile stop.Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 0 - Shawn R.Grass Valley, CA070Nov 23, 2024
Not only does Grocery Outlet offer the best prices in town, but the morning crew is always enthused, friendly, and willing to help anyone who needs it. I'm a lifer.

Thank you for making my shopping a delight!! - Lilly B.Fairfield, CA12320Jun 19, 2024
Today was not my day...but I regress. I shop here often but I'm always having to ask for prices of unmarked items on the shelf. To which there are many in the store... So today while checking out I had three items to check prices on. Then I had two items ring up for higher than what the shelf said so I ask them to take off one and then at the end another item rang up wrong so when I mentioned it to the cashier she said well now it's higher as if I was to pay the higher price. As you can imagine I was not happy with that response so I asked if they followed the California state law in regards to pricing mistakes. Well they wouldn't answer that question because they were to busy and said if I didn't like it I could shop elsewhere....so that is what I will be doing from now on. Elsewhere.... oh and did I mentioned they acussed me of stealing the first order I had already paid for before all this happened.oh and the owner called and said he would this one time give me the price on the shelf this one time..like he was doing me a favor! Wow just wow!!

I generally shop at Grocery Outlet when available. You can't beat the prices and I love their inventory. I shopped at the Grass Valley location for the first time (we are moving to the area next year and return monthly to explore and find our home). I was so impressed! Its selection was the best of any Grocery Outlet location I've been to, and I've been to many between San Diego to Everett, Wa., and many locations in between. I also used to shop at the Arizona locations in Tucson a long time ago. This store's inventory was incredible, it was well organized, clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I'll be shopping here for sure when we move here.

Awesome, store with the deals on the produce, meat, wine, plants & stuff! I go into to that store thinking I don't need a buggy cause I'm only getting the 1 or 2 things I need. I have to go back to get my buggy regardless if I start with only my hands or a hand basket due to the great deals!!! Thank you GV GO for all the great deals and the best music, I think that could be why I'm in the store for so long!!

Fuel prices have steadily declined and these jokers raised their prices another 10%. Products are often sold within days of expiring, selection is very hit or miss, and now their prices are almost identical to Safeway across the street. Tell me, what is my incentive to shop here when you don't have what I want, it's close to expiring, and I'm saving next to nothing in the process? What's the excuse now for raising your prices constantly now that the fuel price excuse has expired (just like the products you sell)? This place was predicated on being a bargain. It ain't anymore. Taking my business to Costco until you pull your heads out and remember that you aren't a premium outfit.

Taking my business to Costco until you pull your heads out and remember that you aren't a premium outfit in an affluent neighborhood. You're a surplus outlet, so price your goods accordingly or lose my business.Jul 11, 2022Previous reviewGreed Outlet raising them prices every day. Who cares if people can afford to eat, right? The eternal excuse is fuel costs but that's pretty hard to believe when gas goes down by 20 cents a gallon in the last week but somehow they think it's ok to raise the price of ground beef by a buck a pound. Not a few cents. Never a modest increase. Because screw us. Keep that boot on our necks. Great business plan.
Jun 13, 2022Previous reviewThis place used to be great. Now it's as almost as expensive as Safeway. Which basically nullifies the entire point of shopping here. If I'm gonna get screwed for more than my food is worth, at least I get a consistent selection there. Bye Grocery Outlet. Not worth it anymore.

I only go here when I am having a get together to purchase wine at VERY affordable prices. Good selection of cheeses. I would not recommend buying their meats. If you have a large family then this would be a good option because they have a lot of frozen meals that are family size.

I love this store! I do the majority of my shopping here. It's clean and has great prices. They can get busy in the late afternoon's, but for the most part the lines aren't to long. But what I really came here to say is that I adore their employees. Every interaction I've ever had with people working here has been helpful and friendly. I have even gotten to know a few of the people on first name basis as they are so delightful. Friendliest grocery store in Nevada county hands down! Be proud of your employees here Grocery Outlet!
