BAD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE/SERVICE My family and I ride horses at Lake Camanche and live in Wilton, so we drive past Clements on every trip. We almost always stop on the way home and either buy something from their bakery or the store - pies, jams, produce, etc). We have loved their products and the down home feel of the place. However, this past Saturday (Nov 24th) and bought an Apple Crumble pie for ourselves and a RazzleBerry pie for the following day for my father-in-law's 75th birthday - this is his favorite pie!! We we're told not to cut the pies for 12 hours as they had just come out of the oven. My family started eating the Apple pie Sat night and found out that it didn't look like a typical "Crumble" pie (or taste like one) but we figured oh well. BUT, the following day we took the RazzleBerry pie to the birthday lunch. When we cut it open, it was completely watery, the crust was mush, and quite frankly, it did not taste good!! I called as soon as we got home to ask for a refund and a person named Avery answered. He didn't identify himself as anything but an employee, said he'd have to talk to the owners and would have someone call me back the next day. Monday came - no call, I called Thursday morning and Avery answered, when I asked to speak to an owner, he said "I am an owner". He also said that after conferring with his mom and dad they could refund the 1 pie (RazzleBerry), but not the other as it looked just like the rest of "their" Apple Crumble pies, based on the pics I emailed them. At that point I asked for the main owner to call me. This wasn't right - we are talking about $32 worth of pies, not hundreds, and it ruined the dessert for the 75th b-day party. Mick McQueen, the Owner called me right back and I tried to explain the same thing to him (and that his son had NOT identified himself as an owner), but wasn't willing to budge on the refund and actually got a bit belligerent with me raising his voice telling me how I had been told 5 or 6 times that they wouldn't refund both pies, but he was doing it by just talking right over me!! I told him that this was just not good customer service!! I've been a long time customer, you would think a refund of an extra $16 wouldn't be a big deal - we weren't talking hundreds, just $32.00!! I have never met a small business owner (I also shared with Mick that I was a small business owner who relied on good customer service and my reputation to gain customers), treat me so bad and act so disinterested in making things RIGHT!! Again, we are talking about an additional $16 that would have kept me as a satisfied, loyal customer! I would NOT recommend this business to anyone!! Spend your hard earned money elsewhere! read more

The owners and staff are always friendly and helpful! The fresh fruits and veggies are great, and their pies are delicious... you should definitely try their tritip sandwich, it's my favorite! read more

This is a dog friendly place as well....when you are on the road, pull on over and enjoy some peet's coffee & a slice of pie.....providing they offer that! I think they do...... The food is yummy & the produce is always fresh! They are worth the stop!!!!! read more

Definitely worth a stop!! Our first visit and we will be back for sure! Tried their pastries: strawberry cream cheese and the pineapple. Delish! Tried their tri-tip sandwich and weren't disappointed. Bought a couple of the frozen pot pies and a couple of their frozen fruit pies (haven't had them yet) and we brought home a fresh pear pie which was absolutely wonderful. Glad we live close enough to make regular visits!! The staff is very helpful and friendly, too! Great experience! read more

OMG! This family is so obnoxious. I can't believe the horrible customer service. This dump really does a disservice to the rest of the Lodi, try not to let it skew your opinion of the other wineries in Lodi. read more

Great place to stop for snacks/sandwiches while on the road. The market had great local, fresh produce and amazing pies. Fresh sandwiches, which were a much better alternative to fast food. Will stop through again next time we're in the area. read more

Drove through and stopped to see this cute little produce stand and get a couple things as we've stopped before and bought a holiday pies. My wife got a peach milkshake which ended up tasting like nothing but vanilla we were talked into trying and sampling they're supposedly world-famous bread pudding. Yes the sample was quite tasty so we purchased a bread pudding and when we got it home it was molded straight green fuzzy smelling like penicillin. I understand that things take place but when they're selling them right at the register maybe they should take the time to look at their product. I called and spoke with the Son and told him what had happened and all he could really do is say I can't help you but I'll tell my parents and will take your number and see what they will do. You would think as a grown man helping his family run a business he could make a decision on what to do for a $4 rotten food products that they were selling. But apparently these days a 40 year old man needs mommy and daddy's approval to do anything. I've never had a problem with the two or three previous times we stopped but after this I probably won't be getting any fresh supposes milk shakes or fresh baked goods maybe just sticking to a bottle of water and an apple next time. read more

I love to stop here when going north or south on Highway 88 - they've got great sandwiches and the bread pudding is wonderful. Pies, fruit, nuts and the like are there too as well as wine-tasting which I don't do but am sure it's nice too. The employees are always really nice here. read more

Great food, wonderful family, terrific staff, and we love Walker, the Golden Retriever who welcomed us. We had tri tip sandwiches with everything on them, and a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie. Both were great. We also bought strawberries, which we are enjoying at home, crisp fresh green beans, and squash. All are top quality and reasonably priced. We were interested in buying local wine and one of the owners provided a tasting on the spot with helpful info. and no pressure to buy. This place is a treasure. read more

Not stopping to buy a pear pie would be a tragedy. Our first time here, we stopped to load up on fresh fruits and veggies on our way back to the Bay Area from Sutter Creek. Got there right at closing time but everyone was helpful and friendly and didn't mind getting things back out for us. They have take-and-bake frozen 2-crust pies, but we were lured into trying the fresh pear pie. Had I known how good it was, I would have bought several for friends. Wow! As a French pastry aficionado, I'm pretty particular about pies. The pear pie is a 1-crust baked custard (not cream) pie full of halved pears - actually similar to a French fruit tart. Easily one of the best pies I've ever had. Crust is like a crumbly sugar cookie. I'd like to try the other fruit pies (raspberry, blueberry, etc.) made in the same style. Upon purchase, they told me not to refrigerate it any longer, that if it even lasted past dinner time, just keep it on the counter and it would be great at room temperature for breakfast. In fact, I did eat 3 servings myself alone at dinner! Will make this a regular stop whenever we're in the area and will even take a detour to go there if need be. read more

Great produce, local wine, and treats! I had a customized sandwich and it was delicious and fresh! Their pies looked amazing so whenever I pass it, I will plan on getting one next time to try! read more

I am so glad we discovered this place. This is a great family run business with yummy food and great produce. The owner was so genuinely nice. He greeted us warmly and chatted with us. He didn't even mind our monkeys running around the place. We had tri-tip sandwiches for lunch which were delicious and pie for dessert of course. The crust on the pies are amazing. I definitely recommend the pear pie. In addition to the ready made food items, they carry all kinds of frozen sweet and savory pies. They have large bags of frozen ripe fruit you can buy for cheap too. Friendly staff and clean bathrooms too! We will be back for more:) read more

I stopped here for the first time today after passing it many times on my way to the mountains. It was great! They had a huge selection of local produce, homemade jams & sauces, yummy looking pies & frozen take 'n bake pot pies, and fresh baked pastries & breads. I tried their tri tip sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll with their homemade sweet & spicy mustard & it was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be back to rest on my way to the mountains again read more

I purchased to pies at $16 each. One apricot and one berry. I was very disappointed in the apricot pie as they had used lemon to enhance the flavor of the apricots, but the lemon flavor was so overpowering you could not taste any apricot. I also think they used unripened apricots. The berry pie was just OK. I would have expected at $16 it would have been better. read more

I was on my way home with my love and we stopped at Clements Ridge. We had a chicken pot pie ( the crust was flakey and tasted good ) and a chicken tamale (so-so). Then we purchased a strawberry pie to go. That was a great decision, because it was delicious. The strawberries were fresh! If I am in the area again, I know where to stop for coffee, produce, chicken pot pie and fruit pies. read more

Clements Ridge a has wonderful fruit. Their early season strawberries are maybe the most amazing fruit I've ever eaten!! So tender they almost melt in your mouth and full wonderful strawberry flavor!! Their late season are great too. We have loved the pies we've tried but I'd pass on the tri tip sandwiches. Although after reading the other reviews, maybe we just got them on a bad day. But it was a really bad day! Old dry bread, sinewy flavorless meat... read more

This place is great. Not only do they sell produce but also wine, desserts, and sandwiches. I come here for their pear pie; however, I do not limit myself to just one. Their coconut cream pie, blueberry pie, and apple pie are tasty. Their service is great, friendly and approachable employees. read more

See all

Hidden gem. You have to know it m, to go to it. What looks like a fruit stand, has an amazing deli with tri tip sandwiches, homemade soups, and chicken or chili pot pies!! Yum! Also, to go, they sell pies and amazing local honey. read more

I was starving on the way to Stockton from Ione visiting friends and family. Was going to eat McDonalds but the signs lured me in. Everyone was very friendly, especially the person who helped me with the food. Tasty sandwich (though I do agree I wished there was more meat as I actually managed to finish a whole sandwich and I normally never do even when hungry). The chocolate bread pudding was sooo good! It's huge for under $5, have leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. I would definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. read more

Omg pear pie!! Who could imagine the delight that danced across my tongue! So we are heading home from a weekend in Plymouth when my chair tried to escape from the bed of the truck. The boyfriend pulls over in front of this fruit stand looking place that boasts pot pies, sandwiches, fruits and such. So we decided to run in grab a sandwich and hit the road again. Well I am a browser so I am checking out the goodies that are surrounding me while he grabs the sandwich slips and a tall hairy faced fella starts telling me about the pies I am salivating over! And another gentleman comes over with a honey dew melon for me to sample. I am in heaven! The melon was so flavorful and sweet I bought one! I had never had pear pie and my granddaddy was growing pears on the delta when I was a youngin!! So I had to try it! The owner was good enough to sell me a slice but next time it's the whole damn pie!! I am not a crust lover but man that crust was to die for!! YOU MUST STOP AND CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!! read more

Clements Ridge is a fabulous family run business. These folks go the extra mile to make their customers happy. We ski and drive from the the Central Coast. We take their pies to enjoy at the snow - YUM! And eat their amazing tri-tip sandwiches both directions, if we can. A stop at Clements Ridge is a great part of our trip. read more

I stop here a lot. They have really great pot pies and ravioli. It's also a great place to get local produce. I love the selection of flavored olive oils and vinegars. The only down side is their baked goods are hit and miss. The pear cake is fantastic, the bread pudding is okay, I'm not impressed with the cookies. read more

This place is amazing! We were looking for a place to eat and the big sign saying "tri-tip sandwiches" screamed at us. Best sandwich I've tried, loved their chili pot pie and also their steak pot pie too. The market has lots to choose from all locally produced. Definitely will make this a must-stop whenever I'm in the area! read more

Every time I come through here I get at least 3 of the frozen take and bake apple pies. These pies are really good, the best apple pie I have ever eaten. They have many other flavors but we always stick with apple, sometimes I will get a chicken pot pie and they're great - and I didn't like chicken pot pie before! Really worth stopping here, if anyone deserves eternal life it's the lady who makes their pies - I hope she lives forever. read more

Went here on a recommendation to pick up a couple pies for a dinner party. Met the owner and he set me up with a pear pie and a banana chocolate pie. They did not disappoint. Big hit!!! I love bananas and chocolate but the Pear was amazing. Definitely going back to pick up something for Thanksgiving. read more

This place is awesome! We stopped by here on our trip to Jackson & their tri-tip sandwiches are amazing! Owner is very nice & has the most adorable dog ever! The only negative is we can't come here more often since we live in fremont, would love come all the time! read more

Sandwiches were delicious!!!!! Apple crumb pie was too sweet and the crust wouldn't get crispy. The razzleberry was really good. Def worth going back read more

I am a fan of this place as we have bought items from the farmers market. Very friendly people. We decided to buy an apple pie couldn't wait to have a slice of pie. Well, we had that slice of pie when we got home and it was sooooo sugary sweet that we couldn't even finish our slice of pie. Not sure if they made a slip with the sugar. Very disappointing. Calling them today see if we can return. Gave them 3 stars for the pie. read more

I stopped a this place to get a peach pie for our mothers day family camping trip. It was terrible. They used canned peaches, and waaayyy too much corn starch!! Half the filling was huge gelatin lumps. It was not edible. Once my mom found out where I got the pie from, she told me she purchased a coconut cream pie there and it was also disgusting. I decided to take the pie back since they DID charge me $12 for a non-edible pie. The experience got worse!! They were so rude! They argued with me and told me that's how all the pies are. I picked up a huge lump of corn starch from the pie with a fork and asked if they would eat it and one of the men, who was the owner, said "WHATEVER!!" and handed me $12. They made a huge scene, it was very embarrassing. They never said anything like "sorry you didn't enjoy the pie, could we get you something else?" or anything like that. It was just a rude "WHATEVER!" I've never had such a rediculous experience, especially over a pie! read more

Good location we travel by there everyweekend it would have been a good spot to stop each time and spend $$$ ....but that WON'T happen got some cherries the bag looked decent got home poured them out to wash over half of them we too soft and mushy old. Yuck. Got tri tip sandwiches "wheres the beef" small and over priced nothing special no flavor and the bread was chewy. Had a pushy sales person trying to get me to try the mustard if I wanted to try fricken mustard I would have walked over and done it don't push it in my face. We were checking out the tall salesman was short, rude and just not very friendly. He acted like it was a pain for him to be there working and from what I hear hes the son?? Where's the customer service no reason to go back here again. Overpriced big time. read more

This review is based on their sandwiches/deli. I have not tried anything else here. I ordered a tri tip sandwich. It was delicious. They are very generous with the portions. They also have a large variety of bread and fixin's to choose from. You will not be disappointed. There is a nice eating area outside. Only damper on the experience was that the owners fat, stinky dog sat at our feet while we ate. He stunk like caca. read more

This was my last stop during Lodi's Wine & Chocolate weekend. In front you can purchase their produce as well as eat at their provided tables and chairs. To the left is their deli/bakery where we tried their red wine infused ravioli and chicken pot pie. Both were DELICIOUS and I simply can't wait to go here again. We also sampled their chocolate bread pudding which I would've purchased if I didn't already have so much chocolate in my system. The main part of the store is where you can purchase various pies, fresh or frozen. We took home a peach blueberry pie which I just baked and it was so good! Not too sweet, tasted homemade. I'm looking forward to buying another pie! There are also different types of gummy candy, nuts, and jerkies. You can also purchase a ball of wool and hang it in your backyard so birds can use it line their nests. They also sell chocolate covered strawberries for $1 a piece, now that is a HUGE BARGAIN considering I usually pay $3 a piece at Godiva when they're in season! To the left is a wine tasting room where you can taste wine from 4 different wineries in the Lodi Appellation: Bokisch, Pasos, Gatos Locos, Costamagna, and Michael David. If you're in this area, make this your stop on the way home. read more

I visitted this place last Oct. '13. The two gents working there, perhaps one of them is the owner, were very rude! I stopped to look for something for my wife for her birthday. Beforehand, I let my dog out to pee on a patch of dirt and I used their bathroom. Then, I looked at a few of the shelves for the aforementioned present. I did not find anything that appealed to me at the time. So, upon returning to my vehicle, one dude asked if I needed help. I said "no". Within seconds he returned to take a picture of my license plate and he said the bathroom is for customers only. As I began to pull out of the driveway I said to him "I didn't find anything I wanted. You are being rude!" He restated his previous instruction and also voice his displeasure at my dog relieving herself in their property. I said that she just went pee. I have purchased veg and other items from this place before, but not any longer. These guys are jerks! read more

One word Pies! Clements Ridge has a little something for everyone, but really for us it is mainly about the pies! This wonderful little one stop shop offers up a great selection of local wines, local honey, jams, jellies, a nice selection of fresh produce, a deli with some GREAT tri tip sandwiches, as well as other types of snacks, gifts, and treats. But lets get back to those pies, cause that is what will really keep you coming back again and again (you will want to try them all!). They have a great onsite bakery with baked offerings such as apple, apple crumb, razzleberry, cherry, and so much more. You can also get a great selection of cream pies like coconut, chocolate, banana cream. Need more? How bout a blueberry or blackberry sour cream pie! Want one more pie variety? How about savory pie! That's right, there is the traditional chicken, steak or chili pot pie, What? You don't like pie? They still have you covered as they also offer a nice selection of pastries, brownies, cookies, breads, and a couple of great bread puddings. So a little bit of something for everyone here, why are you still reading? Shouldn't you be headed to your car? I know I am! read more

We have had their pot pies before and they were very good so we thought we would try their blueberry pie. I cooked it as per the instructions and it came out looking beautiful. However, when we cut the pie it was pie soup! The crust was very good but then you needed a spoon to eat it. It was whole blueberries and runny juice. Very disappointing. read more

I've always loved this place for the fruit, nuts, cinnamon rolls... and the delicious sandwiches. I'm giving them 3 stars because even though the sign in front says "Deli Sandwiches open from 9-6" apparently they stop making sandwiches at 5:40. We were on a road trip and we're really counting on delicious tri-tip sandwiches but arrived at 5:46 and were out of luck...even though the sign says they are open until 6. Lame and disappointing. read more

Well....they did have some fruit and a few veggies. No tomatoes or corn. I was disappointed that there wasn't more. I bought bananas, red onions and nectarine and spent $11.41. But I still needed veggies so I went to Louis on the other end of Hwy 88. Boy, what a difference. I got cilantro, tomatoes, broccoli, cucumber, squash, lettuce, bell peppers, limes and a cantaloupe. (you know, what you would normally see at a fruit stand). I spent $13.53. Both places took debit/cc. So, if you are going up the hill on Hwy 88 and you get off Hwy 99 onto Hwy 88.....Louis is about 2-3 miles down on the right. I suggest hitting that spot first instead of the other one up the road. You'll be happy you did!! read more

Love this place and all of their specialty snacks. The corn nuts and chocolate covered almonds are my favorite. They also have the best pear pie I have ever tasted! Highly recommend that everyone pay Clements Ridge a visit. read more

Clements Ridge is great. The Tri-tip sandwiches are the bomb, fresh pie's, fruit & veggies galore & the chocolate goodies are addicting. I'm now a regular. You will be too. read more

my review is about the character of the owner in jan my sister broke down with my truck and mick was a classs act he was very helpful if his produce is as good as his character i give him 5 stars i will be visiting their market this spring when i come to ca. read more
