Been coming here for 12 years. Was always an amazing place for deals. Lately prices have gone way up. I know operating costs have increased and corporate probably has some say in prices. Once in a while I find a great deal but most cold food is just a little cheaper than a typical grocery. Dry goods are a good value. Animal feed and cleaners are priced right. read more

Used to be a fun place to find bargains but deals are getting sparse. Many items are closer to normal retail prices and some are cheaper at luxury grocery store like Metropolitan Market. read more

Be careful here. I'm on SNAP, and not one but two employees argued with me about bag fees. Last time they charged me $0.15 cents for a bag when I purchased with SNAP - this was after they held up the line to hunt down the charge card. read more

Here with a client. She loves it here great bargains on most everything. Cool concept. She is able to ship and save money. You have to look closely for out of date items. Other than that it's recommended for those on a fixed income. read more

It's a good place to find bargains and they have lots of options. However. customer service is lacking. They typically only have one cashier working and lines can be 10-15 minutes before you check out. read more

Great prices! The produce section could use a little help as there were several different items that were on the older / past their prime stage and not very appetizing. They do have the best tasting bag of gummy worms (Albanese) in my opinion (and I'm not a candy fan). I initially bought one of their bags of gummy worms for my son who loves all gummy worms and when I tried them I was pleasantly surprised. So today, I had to buy another bag and I'm not sure I'll share with my son . The cashier was friendly and personal. You can find some really good deals on various items. They even appear to have some one of a kind items that I haven't seen before. One of which I'll give a try (organic pure MorningA, a plant based superfood powder). Check expiration dates on canned / boxed goods. Some are close to expiration. They have a decent selection and again really good prices. read more

I shop at this G.O. at least once a week. It's my favorite closest one. I'll drive by the Lake City one to get here. One of the reasons I like it so much is the cashier Gina. She is truly delightful. A very quick & efficient checker and I love that she calls me Honey. I made sure to let the store manager that they have a great employee with her. Other reasons I like it. Conveniently located next to a Dollar Tree. I pop in there to get my greeting cards & a few other items. It's a big open and bright store. I very rarely find things past their pull date. If you've never been to a G.O. or even if you have you should check out this one. read more

Always so woefully understaffed. How long does the line need to get before you open a second register? Today as I shopped there were people in line as I went through the store and the same people were still at the register after I had meandered all around the store. Checkout shouldn't take a half hour. I waited a bit and left with my stuff on the belt. Sorry, I wouldn't normally but it was over the top ridiculous. read more

I visited Grocery Outlet for the first time since I saw a flyer and wanted to get something at a great price. Unfortunately, they didn't have it. I did buy a few things, but wasn't that impressed with the selection. The produce department especially left a lot to be desired. Overall, the store had a dark, cold atmosphere and the cashier had an unfriendly attitude. read more

This is one of the better grocery outlets around and I like to make trips here regularly. I will drive a distance to this one because it's 10x better than the run down sketchy lake city location. This Grocery Outlet is big and laid out well. It's not over crowded with products. They generally have decent produce, not amazing but good for things like potatoes and baby carrots. They have good prices on packaged ground beef and chicken. I buy a lot of their NOSH (natural organic sustainable and healthy) items. With grocery prices so high these days it's a great place to check out regularly. Another bonus to this location is the dollar tree right next door and Starbucks too. read more

I always pass by here on my commute and get essentially all my groceries here. Stock is variable; what's here one week may not be here the next, so get it while you can! This is a product of how the store and business operates, not a flaw. Lots of vegan options (plant milk and mock meats) for the store that it is. Deals range from same as a regular grocery store, to slight discount, and sometimes an insane discount. 2/$1 Sabra hummus for a month or so was a pretty insane discount, as is 2/$1 1L almond milk. Produce is fine, just check it for any unpleasantness and you'll be good. Returns within 30 days for anything unused. Bradley* is a great and friendly cashier and is always nice. He bumps this review up to 4/5 instead of 3/5. Other cashiers are not always as nice, but never outright rude... Just seem tired and don't really want to be there. That's fine because, y'know, work. They're just doing their job. Could use a real bike rack outside. The closest one is down the block by the bank. There used to be a very flimsy one, but no more. read more

No mask enforcement. "Rich" store manager wearing mask under nose actively coughing and spluttering.

Consistently good inventory at this location! I am a huge fan of GO stores and this is probably my favorite in all of the Seattle area. It is small but mighty! They always seem to have unique finds here from beer and wine, to desserts, honey, and amazing cheese and yogurts. The frozen section is also full of options ranging from healthy to unhealthy, and everything in between. I can spend hours in this store just cruising down every single aisle. Around the holidays there are great finds in the kitchen/home goods aisle perfect for family gift exchanges. read more

I LOVE the Grocery Outlet up in Marysville, so I thought I would check out the one in Kenmore on my way home. First of all I don't like the set up, but that's just me, it was hard to get around with the cart. There was a HUGE spill all over in the produce area and I watched 3 different employees leave it. I was in the store almost 45 minutes and not one person cleaned it up. It was right in the main walk area so you couldn't avoid it. I had to walk thru it in my boot cast, which luckily I didn't fall, because it was a slippery mess. The produce area was all disheveled, and it took me forever to find things. There was an employee unloading boxes into the frozen/ refrigerated area...but he was taking up more room than he needed and was making it impossible to get thru. He made zero attempt to move or be helpful. I just wasn't impressed with the selection, the store itself, or the staff......until I got to the check out. Really nice lady working up front, full of personality. Very friendly, told me about some tasty items I should try, etc. The worst part of the whole thing is that their parking is on a slight hill, so after shopping, when you are trying to load your groceries into your car, the cart is trying to roll down the hill. Not convenient at all. read more

This grocery outlet is definitely the place to save big on groceries. I scored big on crackers, cookies and "leftover" Christmas items like mixed nuts and chocolates. For about $50 I left with two bagfuls of stuff that lasted nearly six months. They have the "Daddy Rae's" blueberry bars, apple bars and strawberry bars for about two bucks for two pounds, and they make excellent snacks, also being half the price of Fig Newton's name brand. I wouldn't recommend any of the toiletries, however, as some of the brands I didn't recognize and sometimes I am brand loyal. If, however, you need to stock up on everyday items and are on a budget, Grocery Outlet will definitely save you at least a third off your normal grocery bill. You can score big on things like herbs and spices, too, the prices of which Safeway or Albertson's can't touch. read more

This is the place to shop for bargains. They have lots of food for below normal prices. They stock overruns, liquidation items and such. I often find items carried at Costco, Safeway, Albertsons, QFC as a fraction of the cost at the other stores. Their milk, eggs, spices and produce are fairly predictable. I often find things like green peppers at less than i can buy them at Costco. Their frozen, canned and boxed items are constantly changing. I have found a better quality of anchovies than stocked at Cash and Carry. Wine and beer are available at excellent prices. The problem is when I find an item I really like at a good price, it may not be available the next time I come in. My best find was a bottle of wine from Ceja wineries in California. Bought it for a family gift exchange for my wife's family Christmas party a couple years back and after the fact found out that Ceja is run by the family of one of my cousins husband - I should have kept it and tried their wine. Come check out this place often, you never know what the next good buy will be. read more

I have been a customer of Grocery Outlet since I was a poor college student and it was called: Canned Food Outlet. Back then, they sold dented cans and expired food. Boy, have things changed for the better since! My husband fondly calls the Grocery Outlet "the garage sale for food". Simply put, merchandise is always changing and you're most likely only going to see a particular brand product once. Grocery Outlet offers close out deals, test market products, products close to the expiration date, and many labels from different geographic areas that may have not sold well. Every time we go to shop, the merchandise is always different. If you see something you like, don't wait! Throw it in your cart and purchase 10! Odds are, the next time you shop, that product you love will be gone. To me, what's truly great about the Grocery Outlet shopping experience......you'll rarely see the same thing twice. There's always a changing display of different merchandise. For example, they will always carry jams and jellies. One week, it might be name brand Smuckers. The next week, it might be a store brand name from the south like Piggly Wiggly. Since the early days, Grocery Outlet has truly evolved. The Kenmore store recently did a store reset and now offers a full aisle of organic products! It's amazing to see organics at a bargain price. The store offers many other grocery amenities. I particularly enjoy browsing the cold section - they have a fantastic assortment of cheeses and deli meats. Wonderful charcuterie options to make a tasty platter or yummy sandwich! There's also a great selection of dairy, particularly yogurt. Judy is the owner of the Kenmore location. She's been in the grocery business for many years and her store reflects her passion. The store is clean and well organized and employees are friendly. Over the years, Judy has recognized me as frequent customer and now calls me by name and always says hello. I enjoy shopping at GO and more often than not, come home with some amazing bargains and deals! read more

I was always skeptical about this place, but I've seen more and more grocery outlets open up so I decided to give it a try. It's not even that bad! It's a bargain grocery store where you can find a lot of things for great deals. For example, I bought organic body wash for $9, whereas in Wholefoods or PCC, the same one goes for $20+. Deals! Just make sure you check the expiration dates! Some things expire really soon and others have a pretty normal expiration date, but it's understandable since it's an "outlet". They have a little bit of everything here- kitchen ware, pet supplies, beauty supplies, electronics and clothes, etc. I occasionally stop by to see if they have any organic food and organic products and they usually do. I love come ups! read more

Grocery Outlet - Normally $20+ at Wholefoods and PCC, but I bought this for $9! - Grocery Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

one the of the worst example of poor customer service, I'm just waiting with my one item to pay and go . But the clerk just needs to talk to the other clerk about whatever and look for something important to him but not important in doing his job . I wish that place had self checkout. FYI I just left with item on the stand. . Never again. read more

It's ok for some things, and it just depends on your needs or wants. On some things, they seem to have good prices. On other things, they are the same as other grocers. I thought the produce was wimpy and skimpy in size and quality, but some of the items were a good price. The green peppers were nice, and we got some nectarines that were pretty small, but they were very sweet and tasty. They have a nice wine selection, and some of the bottles are a great price. The beer selection is smaller and more on point with average prices. Some items literally are at the Dollar Tree, and they may have theirs marked at 99 cents, so you're saving a penny. The options are limited, so if you go in expecting to get everything on your shopping list, you might be disappointed. Again, it just depends on what you're looking for, and you need to be aware of general grocery pricing to know if you're getting a bargain or not. read more

A huge shout out to the Kenmore/Bothell Grocery Outlet. A couple weeks ago, I used the wrong payment card while my groceries were being rung up. I mentioned it to the cashier so she could cancel that before she totaled. She didn't understand what I meant, so it went through. I had $150 worth of groceries. These two lovely ladies had to return every single item, then resell them to me so that my month was financially saved. It sometimes seems so hard to find people that go out of their way and do so much more than their job description reads. I am so very appreciative. read more

When I lived in Capitol Hill, my grocery-getting habits were simple and based largely on my mood. Feeling ambitious? Hike up to Trader Joe's for affordable organics. Feeling like a princess? (Yes, usually.) Press buttons on AmazonFresh and let somebody else deal with the heavy lifting. Exhausted with no standards? QFC at Broadway and Pike and their effing annoying self-checkout lanes. But now that I'm near downtown in First Hill, my options have slimmed down considerably. No QFC, no Trader Joe's, and, mend my breaking heart, no AmazonFresh. (I email them everyday, begging them to expand their delivery radius, promising to buy the $10 strawberry platter and lots of pricey cheese/wine/chocolate. But do they listen? Noooooo.) The only grocery store in walking distance is M Street. M Street is cute and all, but for the prices, they sure don't make me feel like royalty. And so, I go to Kenmore. Crazy? Maybe. But I swear, the only thing that makes my heart pound faster than an AmazonFresh truck climbing up the hill is a big suburban box-shaped store filled with consumer goods that failed marketing research test markets for cents on the dollar. I buy weird-but-delicious snack bags FOR A QUARTER. I get fancy cheese with weird packaging FOR TWO DOLLARS. I get bags of M&Ms with only one color for THIRTY-THREE CENTS. I buy giant things of pasta for A BUCK FIFTY. And don't even get me started on the personal care aisle, where enormous bottles of organic shampoo run for LESS THAN A FIVER. Don't get me wrong, AmazonFresh is definitely the best option if you live in their delivery zones. But if not? Well, maybe it's time to make up for all that value your 401k lost by saving 80%-120% on your grocery bill. Or do what I do, and give that extra cash to Northwest Harvest (http://www.northwestharvest.org/) - and feed an extra mouth or seven. read more

Sunlight and Window Glare Blind Customers and Staff. This is a chronic issue. Just yesterday, I was standing in the cashier queue line with others and each of us was using our hands to shield us from the unwelcome glare. It was evident the staff were experiencing this too. According to the cashier this has been mentioned over and over to management in hopes of finding a remedy. The response from the owner/operator has been less than sympathetic. I'm thinking about whether to continue giving my business to this organization. read more

Good prices but limited items of course. If they have what you are looking for then it is definitely a bargain but good luck finding things. Thought this might be like an Aldi but does not quite reach that level. Will definitely stop again to see what they have but doubt it will be a regular place. read more

Seasonal and overstocks great deal Name brands are prevalent., just not in everything. Honestly, I don't know what people are talking about in other reviews. What section are you in that there isn't at least one item you'd find anywhere else? I just picked up some wicked deals on John Frieda hair care products. Pay attention to their mailers, you'll get first look at new deals coming in, but remember its not all inclusive. Staff is friendly enough. Parking lot is big, but thanks to how all these stores grew around Kenmore lanes, it's a mess of a maze that few people seem able or willing to figure out without risking life, limb and bumpers. read more

15 cents for a bag that's literally the highest I've ever paid. So don't forget your own bags! Also their meat section is terrible. Always has a terrible smell. I always want to like this place and always walk away disappointed. Also Abigail could really work on her customer service. read more

Grocery Outlet is not my primary grocery store because it's not conveniently located for me. However, their prices do shock me sometimes because there are items at those other stores that never go on sale but Grocery Outlet is selling them for about $0.50 cheaper than the sale price! Me likey. A couple things that I've noticed about this store is that while some items are cheaper when compared to other stores, it's cheaper for a reason. For example, yesterday I bought red/orange/yellow bell peppers for $0.50 each, which is normally a fantastic deal. But, the bell peppers were about 2/3rds the size of what you would usually find. Still, I felt like they were a good deal as orange and yellow ones are often pricey. The other thing is that they may not have everything you will need. During my previous visit, I needed beef broth but they only had vegetable and chicken. Not a big deal as I just got vegetable broth instead. But still, they may not have everything you need, and you know what? I'm ok with that. But you should ask yourself if you are willing to go shop at multiple stores to get everything you need. One last note: The meat selection (specifically steaks) is small-ish. read more

The Kenmore Grocery Outlet is the best place ever to buy good stuff at incredible discounts. We have been shopping there ever since we moved here 8 years ago & have absolutely no complaints at all. If there is ever a problem with anything you buy, no questions asked, they will just take it back. We buy our smoked salmon there, lots of it, whenever it comes in. At the prices they sell stuff, there is just no reason to shop anywhere else unless you cannot find what you want there. Unfortunately, they do not have everything, so you just have to go there often. IF you buy wine, they have the best prices around & free wine tasting monthly. Go here for more info on the wine tasting: http://kenmorehomesforsale.com/post/2612723/free-wine-tasting-at-grocery-outlet-in-kenmore-wa-seattle-bellevue-area- read more

I have a love hate relationship with Grocery Outlet. I rarely trust anything from there... each time I have bought something I have gotten violently sick (hospital status- thanks blueberry muffins) or it tasted horrible (Taco Bell sauce). I do like that they carry odd stuff, like SHARK soap, size 16 men's steel toe boots, huge selection of chips and crackers, crystal lite packets and tons of cheap throws. Last time I came in here I was on a mission for the recently discontinued version of Slim Fast, the new plastic bottle kind isn't as good (and much more expensive). Nope they didn't have any :( I also checked for Pumpkin Pie Poptarts....nope. I will have to head to Target for those. So overall it's worth stopping by... I just would be very careful with what you purchase. Even with the frozen foods items, it appears they aren't that careful with items defrosting, refreezing, defrosting... read more

I like Grocery Outlet for its convenience. It is an outlet-type store, so you're never guaranteed to find something specific, but their prices are the best around. Produce needs to be used quickly, it's generally at the end of its shelf life, as is dairy. They have a nice-sized organic section and a good selection of craft beers. They also have wine tastings and you can find some interesting, but not necessarily well-known wines. The staff is generally friendly too. read more

In this economy, I frequent this grocery store more than often than the major ones. I love their toiletries section, their seasonal specials, cheap cereals, deals on cookies and candies, and their frozen food section. The staff is super friendly and they always have deals on produce. The only downside is often times you won't see the same product the next time around, the expiration dates are questionable, and there are times when the vegetables have seen better days. Overall, this is the best place to shop on a budget, especially when when you have a big family. So, always check the expiration, and you're good! Good For: toiletries, sundries, frozen foods, cookies, candies, chips read more

Normally I love Grocery Outlet. But it's not the place to shop during this pandemic. I was at the Kenmore Grocery Outlet today and they have not provided cashier shields at their stores, which puts both their employees and customers in danger. I will not shop there again until they make this right. It's incredibly irresponsible. Other major grocery stores are doing the right thing. Shame on you, Grocery Outlet. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Tattoed cashier, small selection but not too bad. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Typical grocery outlet with overstock items and a few specialty items and knickknacks. The staff is a mix of friendly (but temporary) cashiers and permanent and rude staff. A simple call to ask store hours turns into a rebuke for they have no idea when they are going to close. Unfortunately this is not a one off and the manager has a long ways to go to understand how to even talk to customers. read more

Gotta say I like a good deal, and they have em' here! However the food changes frequently, so don't count on the same item being there next week. I also really appreciate the elder cashiers and their good ole' fashioned look you in the eye, genuine smile, customer service! Nice hiring! read more

I was here on 09/15/12 and only spent $50.70 on a shopping cart full of groceries. This place has exceptional good value and will get my business in the future. The parking is good and staff are always polite. read more

Here's a place that time forgot. In fact the whole strip mall reminds me of the early 70's. I don't think anything has changed in 30+ years including some of the prices at this Grocery Outlet. I like this one better than the one on Aurora. There will be no transients lingering outside or any drug deals in the back of the building. It's just a great grocery store. They had this great high end ice cream for only $2.50. I don't remember the brand but I remember seeing it at Whole Foods and Metropolitan Market because it was in a tin instead of a plastic tub. I made sure to stock up since it's here today and definitely gone tomorrow. Inventory always changes but a good deal on groceries remains a constant. You'll find the store clean and organized. read more

Attention bargain shoppers! Attention bargain shoppers! This is where it's at! Sonoma jack cheese in yummy flavors for 1.99 (Habanero jack is SPICY but oh so good!) Good place to get cheese, canned food, pasta, etc. They have wine, but I have never seen the labels before so I passed on those. In times like these, where money is tight, this is a good place to stock up. read more

I admit it, I love all grocery outlets but this one is probably one of the nicer ones I have been to. I think its only a few years old. It seems so spacious on the inside. Many great deals can be found her just like at other store locations. I always find great vegetarian items at a fraction of the price they cost at the regular grocery store. You can also pretty much find anything you need here. They have a great vegetable area where we always get avocados and tomatoes. I really like the stand up freezer section in this location, those doors make it so easy to see everything and you don't get nearly as cold while shopping. Employees were super friendly and talkative. There is a wine tasting event coming up, I don't understand how other grocery stores don't do things like this, but its another reason to love the grocery outlet. This is also the place to stock up on wine, many bottles can be found in the 3.99$ price which just doesn't happen anywhere else. If only it had later hours then I might never need to shop anywhere else. read more

Serioulsy people ,this is a bargain market not an all out fully stocked grocery store.It relies on discontinued items to stay in business,that is why sometimes you don't see the stuff the big brand name grocery stores carry all of the time.( Like Mayo) They have great deals on all sorts of stuff but you probably need to do your major shopping at other stores because they do not carry everything. I have shopped htis store since it openen and have never has a problem with anything ,check to labels for dates and you shouldn't have a problem.They are pretty good at dumping outdated stuff or reducing it to a price that you can feed the item to your dogs or neigborhood birds. The owners are very nice people as well as the staff ,I have never seen a cranky employee here either,unlike Walmart. read more
