I'm not sure how often they grill outside, but someone was grilling tri-tip yesterday. We bought the tri-tip family meal, which came with tri-tip that we picked up outside, then had it sliced inside at the deli counter, 2 lbs of baked beans with bits of unexpected pineapple, potato and macaroni salad, and rolls, all for only $36.99 + tax. The tri-tip was still juicy and delicious after microwaving it at home, and the cold salads made it back safely since we had a cooler. The beans were exceptionally delicious. I've never had them with pineapple before, only in macaroni salad. We need to boycott fast food with their outrageous prices these days. This was obviously better and fairly priced.

This supermarket has pretty much everything you could need, and it's all top quality. It's just a…read morereally nice market overall. They've got a great selection of stuff for outdoor grilling, like I picked up some nice strawberries, good fruit, and tons of fresh vegetables. They even have fresh juices, and sometimes you can toss your own oranges into this machine that squeezes them right there super fresh and tasty. The people working here are always so friendly, and the deli is fantastic. I love getting their sliced turkey it's from a real turkey they roast fresh every day, and it's absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a solid spot to shop, this place is it!

This review is for the Giant Sequoia Sandwich:…read more The review would have been better if I had a picture but I was hungry and my half of the sandwich was so good that I ate 3/4ths of it before I even drank anything! My husband was even quicker. After visiting Calaveras Big Trees State Park on a colder Monday in October, we made a stop at their deli because we remembered eating a sandwich there 10 years ago or so. Our memory served us well as the Giant Sequoia sandwich was fabulous: Dutch Crunch bread, bacon, avacado, turkey, lettuce, tomato, and more. The service was quick and the sandwich was great. Perfect combination!

I walked into Big Trees Market at 6:50 PM last night (3/31) to grab a few quick items. There were…read morestill multiple customers shopping--completely normal. At 7:01, an announcement came on saying the store had been closed for one minute and to head to the register. Totally fair. I needed one more thing from produce so I hurried- another announcement at 7:02 said to "stop shopping- we are closed" I grabbed my last item and went up front. By 7:03, I was already being checked out. And yet the reaction from staff was... unbelievable. There were several employees standing at the front just staring at me--clearly irritated, like I'd personally ruined their evening. It was three minutes past closing. Not 30. Not 15. Three. Then it somehow got worse. They were out of bags (understandable), so I asked if I could use the hand basket to carry my items to my car, which was literally parked right in front of the doors to the store. I was told no, "these baskets cant leave the store"--and that I needed to go outside and get a cart instead. So I had to run out, grab a cart, and come back in... while the entire staff stood there watching me. There must have been 6 or 7 employees glaring at me with dirty looks like I had insulted them personally. The older checker was grumpy and rude, but honestly the whole team contributed to making the experience feel hostile and unwelcoming. I completely understand wanting to close on time. But if ringing someone up at 7:03 feels like a crisis to your staff, that's a management issue--not a customer problem. Also- why not sell reusable bags if you run out of bags so often? I would have bought one to make it faster for me to exit the store. Seems like a simple solution to avoid the extreme stress your staff is experiencing

I have to give a huge shout-out to Clements Ridge Produce & Bakery!…read more I'll admit, I was a little hesitant to try them at first. The business has clearly changed hands and the offerings are very different than they used to be. I'm not usually much of a risk-taker when it comes to food--especially unfamiliar ethnic dishes--but my fridge was empty, they were available on DoorDash, and I didn't feel like getting back in the car. I'm so glad I took the chance! First, the empanadas were absolutely beautiful--generously filled, fresh, and delicious. I also ordered a few bakery items to enjoy with my morning coffee, and they were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Then came the tri-tip sandwiches. I ordered one on ciabatta and one on Dutch crunch, and both were outstanding. The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. For dinner, I tried both the steak pot pie and the chicken pot pie... and wow. Comfort food at its finest. And finally, here's where I really stepped outside my comfort zone--I ordered the Chicken Biryani. It was incredible! Now I can't wait to work my way through more of their Indian dishes and curries. Beyond the food, their customer service was excellent. They communicated well, verified my order, and even delivered it promptly themselves. It's always exciting to discover a local business that's putting out great food and taking pride in what they do. I hope more people give them a try and help this local restaurant thrive. We'll definitely be ordering again!

I hadn't been here in a few years, so when I drove by the other evening I made a point to stop and I wash shocked to see I had never reviewed this location. I was also surprised to see the state of the shop. It was not at all as I remembered it. The produce didn't look fresh and there was a layer of dust on items in the shop. They obviously have new management as they are now offering Indian food. I was interested to see that at first because I love Indian food, but after we got out and were looking around, I feel like it is actually a detriment to this place. I wanted to look at the pies but everything looked like it had been sitting and the smell of curry was thick. It's hard to get excited for sweetened farm fresh pie when you have a nose full of spice. That really put me off getting a pie. Still, I thought I would go with it so I decided to try some of the new menu instead since it was all I could smell. The menu is extensive and I tried to find someone to make an order but I couldn't find an employee so I ended up leaving. The way this shop is now is a peculiar combination and I am sad that I will probably not every have the urge to stop here again.
