We checked out Bobs Produce Ranch and were surprised to see that they offer more than just produce, they have meats, bakery, small dry grocery section, and a small freezer section. As far as prices it depends on what you're shopping for, we got blackberries for .99. They had hot deli foods and a salad bar as well. Lots of parking. Plenty of seating inside to take a break or have a snack. The staff were friendly and welcoming. read more

Jean recommended Bob's, I had no idea that they catered. Julie and her Deli Team helped with a corporate event for Childrens Minnesota and the Minnesota Society of Respiratory Care. Julie was wonderful to work with, and made the process very easy and seamless. The food was perfect and priced reasonably! Darren and Eric delivered and help set up. They went above and beyond to make sure we were prepared for our event and that the food was ready. Thank you, Bob's Produce, for helping with this very important event and making it even more special with fabulous food!! We will be back!!! read more

Great place to find foods to stock your pantry & freezer. Added bonus is when they have a selection of gluten free foods!

I thought this place was pretty cool. I needed some lettuce and I was in the area. I tried the potato salad and it was delicious with plenty of egg in it. I spotted in house made mashed potatoes and immediately thought to make some Shepherd's pie and it was delicious. It's hard to pass by the bakery so I picked up some very rich eclairs. A 4 pack of chocolate cupcakes, although good had an unusually soft frosting. What a great discovery. read more

It's like you've taken a small step back in time. When the owners ran their business, valued their employees and bring the best they can find to their market! Nevada Peaches... who knew?! Awesome deli and FRESH salad bar. Super clean inside even a large area to sit and enjoy the "Fruits" of your findings! read more

Best place in the world!!! It's a smaller store. It's perfect for picking up fresh veggies, fruit, bakery.. Birthday cakes, ice cream in freezer section. Different meals in their refrigerated shelves, ready to go; heat up yum. During lunch they have hot food ready to serve up and you can take it to go, or eat it there on the side of the store general eating area. Everyday is a different special. They sell lottery tickets, and always have "made up trays" of fruits or veggies or Salsa with avacodo dip. It's organized and feels very friendly and family orientated. They have a butcher shop too. Specials on eg. Rib eye, ground beef or other various types of beef. Pork chops, lion pork pattis with no bone. Fresh shrimp, cod, salmon, tuna, tilapia.... It's fresh, it's friendly, it's positive & upbeat. Got lunch specials are delicious and their is usually a line. read more

Update on their produce. I happened to get a bag of grapes yesterday, it appeared fresh, but it didn't taste right....something that has never happened to me with my produce purchases such as Cub Foods or even Mike's Discount Foods....I do not plan to return. read more

Nice quality meat, good, no great selection of vegetables and fruit! Really fresh! The bakery is expensive but good treats. The old fashioned donuts are especially good- read more

Sometimes the prices are high but the quality is usually dependable. I haven't been in a while because I don't drive.

This is a happy place especially in late summer. Best sweet corn, peaches and all of the other MN grown vegetables. Wait!! I forgot great but I just went for the skin on weiners , I won't buy packaged any more. I got myself a couple peaches and they put them in a brown bag to ripen on counter for a day ... This place has been around for at least 50 years.... stop here before your next bbq read more

Always a pleasure to go into the store and see whats new. Fresh products, friendly staff.

Fantastic produce Great dessert options Love the variety Always kind attendants Following COVID restrictions very well read more

I originally found out about Bob's because they sell all natural pigs ears for dogs. So I had to go support a local business and buy my (new at the time) puppy a few pigs ears. What I didn't know was just how wonderful Bob's really is! First and for most, their food is quality, fresh and delicious! Their salad bar is giant, and look fresh and amazing! They even have a sandwich bar (I've never seen that before!). You pay per pound on both so it's a win all around! They always have some sort of samples being handed out by a super friendly, professional and personable person that makes the trip worth it. (Just admit it! we all LOVE samples!) They might have a small selection but what they do sell is quality! I bought some of their peaches when they were on special and they were some of the BEST peaches I've had in a LONG time! They have alot of local products which is great for people who love to support fellow Minnesotans and other small business owners! Personally their store is a little sporadic for me. So when I do go in, I struggle going and looking for 'raspberry jam', when i do best when I go in 'looking for lunch and/or dinner'. Staff is always very friendly and helpful! The parking lot can be a nightmare at times, but I've just learned to park far away and walk... It's easier for myself, my stress levels and I get some exercise (winning!). I love Bob's and return as often as possible. Food is quality with a solid selection for the size of the market. They have a sales are in the back which is great for smoothies/juicing at a cheaper price. Overall, smoked bones for dogs, quality food, supports local businesses and great ready to eat meal options. read more

Tried to return a bag of peaches because they were spotty and gross looking. They refused to do anything because they were accidentally left in the bag in the car overnight. Terrible customer service and never coming back here again read more

My favorite specialty grocery. Small.space, specializing in meat and produce. Self serve salad and soup bar available for takeout, or eat in Their butcher depart and weekly meat specials are great! I buy all of my Colorado peaches here every year. I've been a customer since 1991. The area is beginning slightly to become a little seedy at night, but not dangerously so. I had my pocket picked once in the parking lot. I'm handicapped, and made the mistake of humoring a drunk in the parking lot, right at closing time. Turns out, I was dealing with a skilled professional. I should have known better than to let him within my personal space. Minnesota nice got me..... Just know to be vigilant in the parking lot, especially at night. read more

$24 to ship a $21 order....of potato/corn chips no less! Ok, so they are the only shipper for Old Dutch but why rip off customers who can't make the drive to their store? read more

Love Bob's even more during this pandemic. Sooo clean, organized and friendly as ever. Thanks for continuing to be a Great Neighbor !!! read more

The produce here is beyond sketchy. It appears to be damaged or rotting. The store smells like rotting produce. I do find their baked goods better than most grocery stores. Used to like their meat too but have been disappointed in recent years with quality of burger. Maybe just change the name to Bob's Baked Goods. read more

I know the name says "Produce Ranch", and the produce really is top quality and at a good price if you are looking for something seasonal, but that's not what I go to Bob's for. Bob's has a really, really good meat counter. They have a full selection of beef, pork and poultry, with lots of 'value added' options, like burgers with bacon and cheese crumbles, or marinated pork loins. They also have bison, rabbit, and game hens frozen. Watch out when you buy the boneless, skinless chicken breast that goes on sale pretty regularly. If you order one, you'll end up with one whole double breast. I ended up purchasing enough to feed six the first time I tried to get enough for me, my wife, and my mom. They also grind their own meat behind the counter. This means the ground beef is a lot fresher. I'm not a food snob or a small business advocate or a locavore. I'm just looking for the best food for the price, and the ground meat here is a strong step up in quality over cryovac meat. My favorite pick at Bob's though has to be the fresh beef sticks. They make these in the store, and they aren't laden with salt or preservatives. In fact, you need to keep them in the fridge. They sell for about the same price as preserved beef sticks from Costco, but you don't have to buy them in bulk. I personally like the garlic flavored. The folks working behind the counter seem to know their trade. I once asked for pork to make sausage. They found a great piece of shoulder that was loaded with fat, which was perfect. They asked me if I was expecting them to grind it, but I said I was going to do that myself. I don't know if that means they will grind meat to order for a customer, or if they were just trying to let me down easy. My guess is that they would grind it to order. Other than fresh produce and meat, there is a bakery that makes bread, a modest selection of dry goods, and a large salad bar and deli with seating. UPDATE: I just noticed the bargain rack in the back that the review below mentions. Yeah, might want to skip it. Also, my wife says the stuffed cabbage is great. I haven't tried it. read more

So happy with this local business! So happy it's in Fridley, this city needs something more than Mike's Discount foods and Cub. They have great produce. You can't find everything here but most of the time you can find the essentials. It's definitely more pricey than Cub, but I'm glad to pay extra for a local business. But if you need let's say ricotta cheese... you have to go elsewhere. They don't everything. Come in for their chili and salad bar! But beware, lunch time is a mad house in there. read more

I went one day to grab salad bar for lunch. I didn't explore the rest of the store so this review only pertains to the salad bar. The salad bar is huge! Like many salad bars you pay by weight so keep that in mind. I wasn't too worried about price so I loaded up with lots of different toppings - chicken, veggies, cheese, etc. I made a little space in the corner of my container so that I could have some pasta salad just to try it. Very good. Only issue with the place is the parking. It is absolutely crazy. It's not going to stop me from going back though. read more

Great meats at the meat counter, nice service people working there very helpful also good fresh produce read more

Been shopping here for 30 years never a problem with service intell tonight. I walk in 10 minutes before closing to get a take out meal. I was looking in cooler of pre made meals when the manager walked up and turned off the coolers lights on me. She then gave me a stent look and walked away. I know I was late but at this time I still had 5 minutes before closing how rude . read more

They took back four containers of blueberries without even asking. Pre-made packaged by deli has been good. Meats are good. I buy all my fruit at Bobs. We feel safe with their COVID practices. read more

Good people. Good products. Good service. Lots of produce in a small,easy to shop establishment.

I do some shopping here almost on a weekly basis. Great store for it's size. Meat and produce are of excellent quality with something always being the "special" of the week. Check out their online flyer for specials that change weekly. I like giving my business to a "mom & pop" store that has to compete with the big box stores. Too many of these smaller stores have been forced out of business. I hope Bob's stays around for a long, long time. BTW...I like taking a look at the "bargain" bins in the back of the store. You can pick up some really good deals on breads, sweets, and produce. You just have to use a little common sense...if it doesn't look good to you...don't buy it. Simple. read more

This is a great alternative to a large grocery store when you are in a time crunch yet absolutely have to have a few ingredients. They have a large selection at the meat counter. Produce is good - not great but not bad. Good. They have a small clearance / day-old section that is worth checking out. There can be some really good deals but you gotta use it right away. The salad bar is tops. I suggest this grocery store to my friends and will continue to shop here. read more

Best pastries in north metro. Good produce department, with a nice selection of quality fruit and vegetables. Meat department is top notch. Best Italian sausage I have had in my life. Good quality beef and pork, and great prices when on sale. And Bob's hires the best employees for their store. I shop at Bob's at least once a week, sometimes 3-4 times read more

Great produce, yet very expensive. Very crowded whenever I come in. The employees are very friendly though! Good sandwich bar. I dislike that they domt recycle. read more

This grocery store is specialized. Small and specialized. Its forte is the ready to eat items of the deli (has a large seating area so you can eat your food after purchasing.), huge meat case, and fresh produce. Peaches are flown in from Colorado and are so juicy when that season is in full swing, ripe and ready to eat (no woody ones to be found)!! Much of the produce is farm fresh during the summer with extra low prices. Quality of food is exceptional. There is always a sale going on in the meat department on great cuts. wheter it be steaks or chicken. Have inhouse smoker so that is an added dimension. Regular canned and staple items like milk and cheese tend to be higher priced that Cub or Rainbow. DOWNSIDE the nasty bargain bin of produce and bakery at the back of the store. Most of the items need to just be thrown out rather than sold, It's that bad!!!! read more

I love this place. You cannot do all of your grocery shopping here, well, you could, but for here I come for the meat counter and the produce. The service is always friendly. They also have frozen Heggie's pizza and Pizza box, both quality frozen pizza's. As others have mentioned, I avoid the bargain bin in back. I'm not sure what they're thinking with that, but I'll give them a pass. read more

I'm sad that I've lived in this area almost a year and have just discovered this place! I was in need for beef tenderloin and after trying to hunt it down at the chain grocers, it was no where to be found. So I figured I would call these guys, on a tip from the hubby, and they were so ridiculously friendly on the phone. I asked if they had it and they replied in a very cheery voice, "we sure do, and you're in luck! it's on sale!" I wasn't sure what I was in for. I went to go pick it up and what a great store! Their produce is so fresh and, like the other reviewer mentioned, AMAZING meat counter! Hello! I'm going here from now on for fresh meat vs. god knows what I'm getting at other places. Their prices are very reasonable as well. Super excited about this find! read more

More than a gas Mart, less than a full sized grocery. I love that it's small enough to get in & out of quick tho their parking lot is treacherous, not the stores fault but the customers. Most of my experiences here have been good. Great meats & friendly meat service. Good produce & prices most of the time. Yes the grocery items are a bit higher but overall they are a reasonably priced store. They could use an upgrade on some of their salad & deli recipes. Easy take out or eat there. read more

THE best around! I've come here since I was small (30 years maybe?) and their meat counter is awesome! Come on Fridays to get Tom's reuben! I drive many miles to get one. read more

Like everyone else says the meat dept in this place is great and lots of fresh veggies to choose from but they don't seem to carry sweet potatoes on a regular basis which is weird to me but a lot of the produce is local which is cool :) read more

WOW!!! GREAT staff, GREAT produce, GREAT baked goods. Today was .99 cents for 2 pounds of strawberries. Great big fresh and juicy. Killer breakfast sausage and beef jerky to die for. Just moved to the area and stopped in. I WILL BE BACK!!!! Had to stop myself from going crazy. Once I take the wife, we will really get in trouble. Try their cukes and onions....Buy more than you think cuz you will love them. Can't wait to go back. Less than 2 miles from our house. Don't forget to get your BOB card. read more

BEST salad bar in the cities!!! Always fresh, and local when possible. Try the chicken soup too. Trust me.. If you are feeling under the weather or even just a little blue it will light up the skay and make the world better! read more
