I've shopped there for many years. availability of items I like/want varies a lot unpredictably. most of the clerks are very nice , helpful. but recently the store manager (male) was verbally aggresive and rude to me. I think I will be voting with my wallet to go elsewhere. before this ugly encounter I would have given a 3 or 4 star rating , but now 2 stars seems very generous read more

Great prices, lowest around, friendly cashiers. Lots of bargains. Wonderful place to meet nice people.

The cutest Grocery Outlet! I was in the area shopping at Goodwill and noticed my favorite childhood grocer! Couldn't wait to finish my Goodwill run and head over to GA. Small but might, the Davis GA packed a powerful punch. The staff was nice; there was a kind young man stocking in the bag between the cold section (yogurts, cheeses, etc) who greeted me hello with a smile. I didn't find what I needed (I believe it was a limited item but I'll keep looking), but I'll certainly return to the Davis store as work takes me to Davis on occasion. read more

The owners of this store (Fady & Youla Jbeily) are huge Trump supporters and anti-vaxxers, and have posted homophobic and racist things on their personal social media pages in the past. Apparently they abandoned the old Grocery Outlet they owned up in the Sacramento area (North Highlands, CA) without even informing their employees, and then came down to Davis, bought our local store, and then hired all of their family members as employees, firing the black woman that worked there, and the gay white man that was working in the store at the time, along with all of the other employees that were hired under the previous owners. It's also pretty ironic, because they aren't even from this country. They are Lebanese, and yet they support Donald Trump's efforts to deport people exactly like them from our country. The people that own the store in Woodland are a nice unproblematic Latino family, that have had some of the same employees working for them for decades. If you have to buy groceries from Grocery Outlet, it would be better to support the Woodland store. Sales tax is cheaper in Woodland too, by almost a penny and a half per dollar. read more

Grocery outlet has multitude of discounted products and food. I highly recommend shopping the one on 8th St.. my experience has been excellent. This store is worth browsing because you often find gems for fraction of the price. read more

If you like hunting for treasures, then Grocery Outlet is the store for you. Of course, it does not come close to the ambiance of the fancier grocery stores in town, but we still come back because of the low prices and a decent selection of organic and nonorganic produce. The store stocks most of the food we need on a weekly basis, but it does not have all of the staples or some of the more specialty items you would expect to see at a store this size. Still, it is fun hunting for treasures (packaged foods at impossibly low prices) that we inevitably find if we spend enough time looking through the aisles. read more

*** Vegetarian and Vegan Finds *** This grocery store is aptly named! Definitely a bargain market. It's worth a weekly trip because once these products are gone, they're gone. I've learned that lesson the hard way and by hard way I mean, I had to buy it at non-bargain prices later. Let's just hope they continually stock Impossible Burgers. That price is amazing and much appreciated! Thank you Grocery Outlet. Impossible Burger patties are delicious prepared as regular burgers, but you can also use this as a ground beef. Just break it up while pan frying and you can put it in spaghetti sauces. Bottom Line: A lot of vegetarian and vegan frozen foods. Some of which I've never seen before so that's fun to try other brands and flavors. read more

The staff in Dixon, Ca and Davis, Ca were personable and willing to try to order items they aren't normally carrying. Cashiers personable too. Nice selection, with excellent prices on name brand items that cost too much at other known bigger chains. Thank you Grocery outlet read more

I have been doing a lot of price comparison shopping and was disappointed to find this Grocery Outlet no longer seemed as budget friendly. Prices seem more on par with my local Safeway. I left today with the jug of milk I needed, 3 loaves of $5 a loaf bread and 2 packs of top ramen. Nothing in the store screamed savings to me. I will continue to shop at Walmart in Dixon. I don't see that there is any point in bothering to go to Grocery Outlet going forward. If you do want to check out a Grocery Outlet, the one in Dixon is new and clean. The one in Davis is pretty grubby and there can be some sketchy people in the parking lot. read more

GrocOut is great! I usually try to make a trip there once a week. It's THE place to go to find discounted high-quality groceries. You can often find items marked down by a few dollars, which goes a really long way. For example, I've been buying my lentils from GrocOut for a few months now and I've saved what feels like a fortune. The thing you have to know about GrocOut though is you could find a really great product one week and not be able to find it the next. They do have some consistent items that you can be pretty safe relying on, but for the most part, it's not the place I go when I need something specific. So if you're the type of person who abides by a very detailed shopping list GrocOut might not be your first choice. Overall, though, I really enjoy shopping at Grocery Outlet! The people are friendly, they have a great unique selection, and they help me save a lot of money. read more

I used to always go here and spend all my money. I am a black 18 year old college student.. I was racially profiled and the cashier said "we're gonna have to look in your bag today" before I even checked out and bought my food. Of course there was nothing in my bag! Unbelievable! I'm going to contact my local NAACP read more

In terms of the actual store, this is a very average and normal grocery outlet. The selection was medium, but the prices were fantastic. But it was the people here that really stood out. I had a really hard day today. But the man working the checkout was so kind and friendly, and it really lifted my spirits. I'm not sure his name, but he had longish hair and maybe a bit of an accent? On top of just being a good cashier, he asked about my day and wished me good luck on my finals. He seemed like he wanted to have an actual conversation, but also wasn't intrusive or pushy and didn't let it slow his work. It was very cool of him. - I'd also like to take this moment to apologize to anyone who saw me sobbing in the parking lot. I realize I was loud (oops). I saw several people who saw me, and some were wearing employee shirts. As I said, it was a hard day. read more

Aside from great prices I find so many random health foods here! Cauliflower flour? Collagen Gardein vegetarian meals Keto meals! Keto and vegan ice creams ! And nearly all at a fraction of what you pay at other retailers.. I've also never seen anything with a bad expiration date! - maybe that's me being lucky The store is generally clean, I'm normally in there early mornings, it seems quiet at this time and the staff are super friendly and chatty at the checkouts Re Covid I've never seen employees without masks, and I love that they have a sign just inside the door reminding people if they're sick, stay home (: read more

This has been my go-to grocery store ever since they opened in town: great selection of quality foods at exceptional prices and friendly staff. Over the past several months, however, I noticed a change in inventory for the better, but quality control and value pricing seem to be gone. The prices have gone up to the point that conventional stores are competitive with shopping here. I used to shop with confidence that foods, including fresh produce, would last for a week or more. Now I get home and either find things spoiled in the can, like condensed milk that must have been left in the heat, or perishables like bread or veggies that go moldy within a few days. Between the higher prices and lack of quality control, I'm not sure it's worth the limited savings. If this situation doesn't right itself , I will likely return to Safeway as my go-to. read more

I came here because they sent some discount coupons to my house. It's smaller than your standard grocery store. Their produce section is tiny so that's not one of their strengths. However, I spotted some great deals. Firewood at 3.99. They had discounted wine (the cheapest at 3.99) as well as beer. Also saw a few things in the frozen department that were very cheap (bulk berries, salmon, pizzas). Excellent deals on other items as well like bulk cat food, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. This is definitely a great spot to load up and save especially if you're having a party or something. I did see some organic/alternative items too at great prices but I don't know if those are part of their rotating inventory or not. I'd recommend coming here for your bulk purchases to save $ and maybe supplementing your shopping elsewhere for things they don't carry. read more

Shopping at Grocery Outlet is an art. For your convenience, let me share with you some helpful tips. 1. Be open-mined. It's okay to come with a few ideas of meals you might want to make. But don't be too disappointed if they don't have exactly the ingredient you were looking for. That being said, they do have staple items such as tortillas, bananas, standard cheeses, bread, oatmeal, dairy, and eggs. 2. Be flexible! Part of the fun of Grocery Outlet is that you never know what you'll find. It's like a treasure hunt. That involves food. Who doesn't love a food treasure hunt? Still, most products are extremely discounted, so you don't lose very much if you try something new and aren't a fan. Be adventurous! 3. Check expiration dates. If the price tag seems too crazy discounted there's a chance that that yogurt expires today. 3. If you see something you really like (hello, TCHO chocolates), consider stocking up because no guarantees that it'll be in stock next time. 4. Take the weekly circular ad with a grain of salt. In my opinion, only some of the items that they advertise are actually at a limited time discounted price. And overall, things are pretty cheap so things that aren't "on sale" may still be a great value. 5. Check to see if there's a coupon in the Green Machine coupon book (it comes in the mail every quarter ). Highlights: NOSH Organic/Health Foods section, Chocolate stock, Speciality Skincare products TLDR: Grocery Outlet is great if you're willing to adapt your menu, want to try new foods and like to save $$! P.S. Shoutout to the friendly cashiers who are always so patient with me as they watch me try to pack a lot of groceries into my backpack so I can carry all the food home via bicycle. :) read more

Prices really aren't too great anymore. Customer service has really gone down hill, when I am in town I go to other grocery stores because I just don't feel like dealing with the customer service there. For example they poked a hole in the raw chicken I bough and proceeded to bag it with vegtables. It leaked all over them and when I nicely asked for another bag they acted like I was asking them for the biggest favor ever. Ended up throwing the bread and other contaminated food out because I didn't want to risk food poisoning. read more

You simply cannot beat the price and quality at Grocery Outlet! For $25, I can come out with an entire cart of nutritious food that would've normally costed $70 even at Costco (YES, Costco!). For instance, there are packs of 12 Nature Valley Nut bars for $1.28, and half-gallons of soy milk for $2. Oh, and did I mention I got a 16 oz bag of healthy CHICKPEA PASTA for....*drumroll*.... 99 cents?! You can bet I bought 6 bags of those goodies ~ ooo and So Delicious dairy free ice cream pints for $1.50? I'm SOLD. I noticed that there were many vegan options, such as veggie burgers, pizza, and ice cream! I am always elated to see supermarkets accommodate to vegan consumers, so I truly appreciate that :)) Bottom line: I'm never buying my snacks from anywhere else! read more

What a great store for students on a budget! It's located right next to the Dollar Tree, which is also in walking distance from where I am, so I love coming here when I don't feel like making the trek to safeway lol. They have every food you can think of, but slightly cheaper than other grocery stores. I find organic food here at discount prices all the time! read more

Except for more variety than more upscale markets best deal on prices. The GO in Grass Valley had sandwiches which I miss from this GO

My roomie and I loooove going here. Prices are SUPER CHEAP. Downside is not everything is fresh. I soo wanted to buy strawberries for only $1 for each case, but was disappointed to see that all of them had mold on them :( But Davis Grocery Outlet is amazing. They came to UC Davis one time. They had a shopping cart filled with groceries and had people guess how much the groceries are worth. I was only 1 cent off, so they gave me what the shopping cart was worth. I forreal received a $108.24 gift card! My best purchase? $5 for a huge jar of JIF peanut butter, yummy! read more

Every time i buy red meat here. When I open it at home, it stinks! Spoiled. I don't know why I keep trying. It's been about six times now.

This place is perfect to shop for healthy affordable grocery. I've been here so many times since 2016. It's just one thing that keeps bugging me. I've had consistently bad experience with a middle-aged Caucasian cashier with short hair. She never said hi back to me even though she just said hi to the Caucasian customer in front of me. She answered my question not in a pleasant way at all. I don't know what the deal is. The other cashiers have always been so nice to me. I'll take a mental note and avoid her station next time. read more

For intriguing but failed new products and items from other regions of the country, Grocery Outlet is a treasure hunters dream. You need to have an idea of the real retail price of items though because their "compare to" prices tend to be a inflated. Bargains can be found. Campbell's Go Soup, currently on sale at Safeway for $2.50 was only a buck at Grocery Outlet. Make sure to check the expiration date before purchasing items. I bought a couple of items to taste and plan to return to stock up on the ones I liked. read more

Often hit or miss with certain products I am looking for, but bargains can be had. Be selective, check expiration dates, and walk away with a bag of groceries for not a lot of money. read more

Excellent, friendly service. AWESOME bargains. I drive from Winters and have never been disappointed with their offerings. FREQUENTLY they have the Yoplait Oui yogurt in the glass jar for 50 cents! I sometimes fell guilty for getting something for a quarter. The staff is so helpful and I am always treated with respect at this store. read more

I have recently started shopping at the Outlet in Davis. I have been amazed at the reduction in food cost compared to other local markets! I'm especially pleased at the price and quality of product. The availability of fresh strawberries, mangos, bananas, avocados and produce in general is great. Nice, friendly people working there. Lots of ethnic foods. I have made my wife a believer. read more

This place is a gem for cheap groceries. You can also find some really nice high end organic items for cheap. Just make sure to check the best buy date. Things usually aren't expired, but close to it. read more

My relationship with grocery outlet is similar to that of a sleazy hooker: Hella janky but I can't stop going back. Also, each time I buy groceries from here, my posh-ass girlfriend gets mad at me, but I honestly don't care. When I can buy 5 boxes of kashi cereal and 2 tubs of greek yogurt for less that 7 bucks, that's all I need in life. Gross Out, I love you read more

I stopped by today to pick up some cookie tins at the dollar tree and decided to check out Grocery Outlet as well since it was right next door. I've always been a bit apprehensive of grocery outlet since all the ones I've been to always had expired food. But this one is quite different. Perhaps it's the fact that it's new, but everything there looked so CLEAN and in order. I was able to even find some Basil plants that looked exactly like the ones I got early from Trader Joe's for $1.99! As for everything else, none of it seemed expired so that's a plus for sure. Store-wise, this is a cleaner and more organized store, but it is ALOT smaller than other grocery outlet's I've been to. So if you're in the area, it's worth a shot to check this place out. You'll never know what you'll find here. read more

Grocery outlet is super underrated. It's cheaper than Safeway for sure, and sometimes you can even find Costco-sized items for less than half the price. What's not to like? Frozen foods, dairy, breads etc are always of quality so don't worry about those. You'll find some snacks you thought had been discontinued forever...special edition pop tarts, halloween candy from last year, limited edition oreos... The health and beauty selection is extensive too. Loreal eye quads for 1/4 the original price? YEAH. If you rip off the tag, no one knows you got them a birthday gift with a deep discount! Same if you're hosting a party. Lays chips are Lays chips no matter where they're from. read more

Cheap prices, gotta love that. But the quality of veggies aren't always on par as they don't last as long. i'd recommend using them within that same day or a few days after though. Their berries can be a hit or miss of being too ripe and not lasting for more than 2 days before they go bad. I remember buying some baby tomatoes and some were all ready molding in the cases, so I had to pick a few out when I looked for a case that had the least mold. Their selection of meat is small, but I like how they have a meat called "thinly sliced asian meat"What kind of meat is "Asian" then. LOL. They do have a large range of dairy products that are pretty cheap and comparable to Target! Their snacks, drinks and spices are pretty cheap as well! I really enjoy seeing how the price tags list other prices of their competitors as compared to their prices. FYI, their spice range may not be that large, but you have your basic spices for only 99 cents, a fraction of the price as you would at any other location. The cashiers have always been very friendly and quick as well. Parking is a bit small though as it shares a lot with the Dollar Store as well. Just be careful of where you decide to turn into because you could run into a row of parking spaces instead of a way out, haha. read more

I may be addicted to grocery outlet. I kind of know a little too much about the area's different grocery outlets, so I feel like I may be considered an "expert". So, this GO is definitely one of the cleanest stores I've been to. It also has some of the widest variety of goods I've encountered in a store. If you're looking for your crazy, vegan organic stuff, there is even a little shelf for you! Overall, in a town that has utterly atrocious and expensive grocery stores, Grocery Outlet gives me the reason to not go to Woodland for groceries. read more

Besides having a ridiculously catchy song, Grocery Outlet gives you savings galore- and nothing is sexier than saving. I love coming here and hearing that I saved anywhere from $5 to $15-20 on groceries and household items. I've gotten organic cereal, ice cream, face masks, trash bags, drain cleaner, and various other items and significantly lower prices. Just beware of close expiration dates- my cereal that was usually $6 was $2 because it expired in two weeks, but hey I'd rather save $4 and have to scarf down a cereal I love anyways that hold onto it an extra couple of weeks, am I right? Also, there is a $10 off $30 or $50 coupon in those little Davis green coupon books. A hidden grocery gem in Davis, and always fun to stop by! read more

Even though I can be a food snob at restaurants, when it comes to food at home, its whatever is cheapest since I prefer eating out anyways. I was surprised this grocery store is LOCALLY owned and operated. Theres only about 3 people who I see run this massive store, be prepared its not a fancy schmancy grocery store but the prices are amazing. For snacks its no more than $4 for cookies, chips, power bars etc. Eggs, milk, cheese are about $2 and their produce section is a hit for $1 for a pint of tomatoes and $4 for a huge salad bag. I save at least $50 everytime I shop here and spend $20 for at least 2 weeks worth of food- it says so on the receipt! I think this place is pretty neat, don't expect to find the same products because alot of merchandise is constantly in rotation. Perfect for me, because I am pretty random when it comes to cooking, this place is good to stock up on basics or quick fix meals for 1 person. I live in South Davis, the extra 1/2 mile down Pole Line for 1/2 the cost in groceries is worth it to me. We're already spoiled in Davis with having stores withint 3 mile radius anyways. I don't think its that much of a difference in quality either- expiration dates shouldn't scare you. I'm a ex-Safeway worker and its really sad to see food trashed because of the expiration date. Food is safe until it odorizes and discolors, keep your 5 sense open and you'll be fine. Spending the extra $2 for "freshness" is only throwing money into grocery management, not the workers on the floor. read more

I've always been a bit skeptical about grocery outlet. The food is so cheap because they're about to expire. I bought a bag of mozzarella cheese from a brand I wasn't familiar with and it didn't even taste like mozzarella cheese and I had to throw it away. There are a lot of items you can get for cheap, but you just have to use your best judgment. The workers were very nice and friendly though! My advice is to stick to the brands you know/trust and only buy if you plan on eating the food that day or within a few days. read more

This is the Ross of grocery stores: get name brand stuff for discounted prices. I would not recommend coming here if you have specific items in mind, since they do not carry everything that a normal grocery store does. This place is great for browsing and seeing items that you could use at great prices. They have a great cheese selection (smoked gouda, mozzarella, blue cheese, etc.) here though at affordable prices! I like how you can enter the amount you save here (found at the bottom of the receipt) into a monthly drawing with the hopes of winning that money back! P.S. They have a pretty frequent turnover of items here, so if you find something you like here, stock up! Because, if you wait to get it next time, it might not be there. read more

Used to shop here for good prices. Too much moldy/bad food for me tho. Back to TJs where the prices are slightly higher but the products are way better. Also, started getting spam phone calls when I signed up to their (Grocery Outlet's) website. Staff is cool. That is the only positive I see here now. Products and corporate seem like crap. read more

A wide array of goods at delightfully discounted prices, Grocery Outlet is a godsend- especially if you're tired of being ripped off at places like Safeway that take advantage of their location to jack up their prices on naive college students. That being said, their offerings might not be what you're used to at a normal grocery store, and the whole place has an older feel to it. Don't come in expecting gleaming displays of top-selling brands. Instead, they cycle through off brands of the usual items and carry the more well-known brands right as they're about to expire. This isn't usually a problem unless you're one of those people that takes three months to finish off a box of cereal or granola bars. What I would be wary about is buying perishables- things like meat, milk, yogurt, fresh fruit cups, salad bowls, and eggs. I'm not saying pass these over (because there is a WONDERFUL selection of stuffed chicken breasts and portable salad kits) but definitely check the expiration date and use as well before as possible. We've had a chicken cordon bleu and a quart of milk go sour on us a few days early, but other than that, there have been no problems. Their frozen section is also a marvel. A great selection at better-than-everywhere-else prices. We got a giant bag of dino nuggets for $2 less than costco and shrimp cocktail for $5 less than safeway. I would definitely recommend the bacon wrapped filet mignon (only $5 for two marinated steaks!) and the surprisingly low-cal bacon and cheddar stuffed chicken breasts (180 per serving, and one serving fills you right up). Their nutrigrain bars (when they have them) are a bit old tasting but the apple fig bars are delicious. read more

It's true, Grocery Outlet has come to Davis, bringing with it a delightful assortment of stuff. Finally the citizens of Davis have a place to buy failed marketing ideas, products minutes away from expiring, and knock-offs of knock-offs. I sound disparaging, but I don't really mean to; only at grocery outlet can shopping be an adventure. The Davis Grocery outlet seems to be one of the new 'Small box' concept stores, which is both a good and a bad thing. It is a more pleasant overall experience, with a higher level of service (can you believe that? Actual service) and a nicer aesthetic than your typical Grocery Outlet. However, the tradeoff is that in an effort to be more like a grocery store, they have toned down the strange a little. I'm not the type to do all my grocery shopping here, so I'm not the biggest fan, I come for the novelty, the thrill and the adventure. I don't come for the food. If they had a new store with only the most bizarre, the most outrageous and most inedible, I might just fall in love. read more
