I was getting a few things from Grocery Outlet at the checkout I asked for paper instead of plastic bag, normally I bring my own, as I grab my bag by the handle the handle rips off the bag and the bag comes apart, the checked asked if I wanted a plastic bag... NO I ASKED FOR PAPER AND WHY ARE THE PAPER BAGS SO FLIMSY! And what happened to the no plastic bags? Do they make the paper bags flimsy so we use the plastic bags instead? Get better paper bags! read more

Never again followed around and harassed by store security so I just wound up leaving! Never intended to steal anything, but they sure did make me feel like that! read more

Great selection of grocery items. Excellent vegetable section. Excellent prices. Courteous staff. Lots of parking.

I used to shop here whenever I was in Sonora. It has been awhile and when I entered the store I immediately knew the ownership had changed. The store is not as tidy, the prices were outrageously high, and selection had dwindled. I'll still pop in from time to time, but it was a BIG disappointment to me today. read more

Since it changed hands and remodeled I really like it. More organized, seems cleaner. There is a price difference but given how much nicer it is inside and how friendly and quick their staff is I don't mind. read more

The lady who checked me out was incredibly rude and then she smashed all my fruit in the bag when she bagged it so a bunch of the berries I just paid for are ruined. I really expected better from this store! read more

Used to be my favorite grocery store in town until it switched owners awhile back and quickly everything became double the price. Most things are close to expiration and the small price difference doesn't justify the purchase. On the positive side the employees are great. read more

The customer service in this grocery outlet is fantastic. However, the prices are just as high as the regular grocery store. I often go to the grocery outlet in Oakdale or Lodi and the prices are actually bargain deals this one it is not a bargain. I may as well go to Safeway and even though it is clean, it's not a deal so I won't be back. read more

Incredible selection and very helpful staffing. Big thank you to my guy Taylor not only did he help us find what we needed but he gifted us with a great experience. Definitely will be back in this town and will always come to this Grocery store for all the needs! read more

Great prices Friendly employees Clean store Several locations to choose from Fast checkouts read more

I love this Grocery Outlet. Every trip here makes me so happy. We've picked up Christmas presents here, organic meats, vegan cheese, organic matcha, tactical flashlights, art supplies, socks, sparkling water - and so much more. The staff are amazing here. They're always friendly and the store is well-maintained and stocked. I am so happy that this place exists. We're satisfied loyal customers. Trust. read more

Prices were not as low as expected and some were more than expected. Additionally, the brands are not consistent. If so, I would consider trying again read more

Clean throughout the store. Friendly customers and staff. Shelves well organized and neat in appearance. Ample parking near entrance & carts easily accessible. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. I wouldn't come to the store, unless you like expired food, and being accused of being a shoplifter. I typically don't go to the store and the one time that I do and I was slowly browsing, isles, having my phone up also price checking with Walmart to make sure I'm getting the best deal and I have two men approach me and accuse me a shoplifting. I then immediately offered to show them my purse, which I did, and they saw there was nothing there. That is when they walked away and couldn't even apologize. All I was doing was browsing aisles price checking on my phone, and looking at recipes on my phone. I am so baffled that they could come up and harass someone without having the facts straight. You would think they would look at the cameras more closely before accusing someone of something so terrible! read more

I like the products and prices but the management does not care about their employees or customers. There are high risk medical people in the store and management allows their staff to not adhere to COVID precautions. Two older white male employees did NOT have masks on. I believe one was a manager because he appeared to be directing staff and customers. A customer asked him why he didn't have a mask on and he said he was not worried about it and that he was six feet away from people. That was not the truth because he was behind the counter next to the other employees. Apparently the employees are not people to him. It does not hurt to wear a cloth mask; however, dying of COVID is an excruciating and lonely death. Be respectful & wear a mask. read more

This is a nice sized store that's been around for a long time! Their selection has improved in recent years and it really is a nice spot to stop when out grocery shopping. They've got wine, cheese, canned goods, boxed goods, fresh produce, a small dairy section, lots of frozen items, and even a home food section with some good name brand items at drastically lower prices than other markets! The only problem that I can see if the supply can sometimes change and what they get varies; meaning if you find something and fall in love with it, you'll have to cross your fingers that it'll be there the next time! Overall, a nice place for some quick shopping! read more

The store has had a major remodel both in the interior and exterior. Expansion means more products and great values.

I friggin' love me some Gros-Out!! I come here about every other week for shopping; I find the best organic/sustainable stuff!! From food items like granola bars and frozen veggies, to bath and home products like shampoo and laundry detergent. This place makes it SO much easier and cheaper to live green! I nearly always save at least 50% off regular price, and no coupon clipping! read more

Check the expiration dates, because so much of their food is past the expiration date. They also mess up on their signage - and it's always in their favor. For example, the sign will say $1.99, but then you're charged $3.99 at the register. So you go back to check it out, and sure enough, the item *next* to it was $1.99, with no price showing for the more expensive item. This has happened to me so many times, it cannot just be a coincidence. I like other Grocery Outlets, but this one is not run well. Worse, the staff is rude. read more

Good ol' gross out! This is one of the best grocery experiences in Tuolumne County! Good quality food, even organics. It's clean and well organized. And if you like to people watch, this is the place! And it's true, it is like a treasure hunt. But if you find something you really like, buy a lot of it because it probably won't be there when you go back for more. I think they have a better selection than Safeway for sure. I save so much money shopping here. I shop here first and then if there is something I can't find, it's on to PriceCo. read more

I stop here a lot, but only you need to watch the expiration dates closely. I have found some great deal, but you need to get them while they are there, for you can return and they are gone! Sign up on the website and you do get an idea of what is coming into stock. A couple of times, my veggies spoiled quickly and the fruit sometimes had fruit flies. Just be aware and check before you bring anything home. read more

This is my favorite place to buy groceries in Sonora!! The owner is really nice and supports the local FFA. Great at keeping certain products in stock....but not all. Rarely do you ever find and outdated products. They're always happy to take your returns, if for whatever reason it didn't suit your needs or likes. The best bargains on organic products, too. Highly recommended! read more

I love this store but check your expiration dates closely, especially sale items. I wish this store was more like the Jackson store. Jackson is well kept, spotlessly clean, and well stocked and front faced. Their organic section is huge and items are not close to expiration. Sonora management needs to pay Jackson a visit to see first hand how a great store is run. read more

Always something new in there to find, great values, clean store, excellent prices! I love their fresh orchids too to add a little life to my house. They have great natural skincare products for less than half the price of anywhere else. read more

A lot of items are expired. Sadly, they are still on the shelves. Encountered some rude employees here as well. Particularly a guy who was bagging/collecting carts who slammed my groceries, therefor ripping the "strong" paper bags provided. His replies were demeaning & he just looked disgusted to help bag our items. Customer service needs improvement. I have faith this place will turn around, it starts with management. I think you'd be Better off paying a couple dollars more at Safeway. Save your time, go elsewhere! read more

Do you like treasure hunts? Going to grocery outlet is a little like that. You will find a lot of unique items here and amazing bargains. A few weeks ago I got Scharfenbergers chocolate for less than half price! My friends and family are looking forward to the Christmas cookies the chocolate will be going into very soon. When I see a bargain on something I use a lot I try to stock up because you never know what will be there the next time you shop. they get a lot of name brands as well as regional and store brands. Some of the prices on items like laundry soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. beat even the big megalomart store down the road - you know the one I mean. The produce section has most basic things people use. They don't carry fresh fish, poultry or meat, but have a selection in the frozen food aisles. So, keep an open mind when you shop here because like Forrest says, "you never know what you're gonna get". read more

I am a grocery outlet junkie I have wrote a review about the one closer to me but I go to this one when I visit family. They are all awesome. Rosemary has made a perfect review so since she has covered it I am going to make up a bunch of stuff of how I like to lay in their freezers full of bargains and roll around laughing gleefully. I run to the aisle with the soaps smelling them for hours and rubbing them against my cheeks. I also marvel over the cheeses and on thursdays will stand next to the section and say "say cheese" whenever someone buys cheese. On tuesdays I like to run down the ice cream aisle and scream "we all scream ice cream" in a fuzzy bunny suit. So go to grocery outlet and fill your cart with happy loving food. read more

The prices are a bit cheaper than other establishments such as Wal Mart and Safeway, but there are other small pieces of the store that you can only really notice if you look through the BS. The floors are never buffed, as well as the floors are mopped but there are never any signs up. Their staff never has any smiles on their faces, they're never happy. In fact, I remember a chapping young man named Scott that helped me bring groceries to my car. Unfortunately I've been informed that he has been let go due to false accusations. On another note, a cashier actually ridiculed me for being active duty military, using terms such as "murderer, baby killer" and others that shouldn't be said in general. I've gotten multiple flat sodas, and stale chips. All in all, it seems to be dirty and untaken care of. I recommend going to bigger, more known stores such as Safeway or Walmart. read more

I love this store! I always go here first before anyone else. There's always something new to try while it's inexpensive. Extremely clean and well stocked! Unfortunately, when I find something I really like and I go back for more, everybody else really liked it too! But there's always more treasures to find. Their wine selection is amazing! read more

We wanted to get some sweets. The candy vault and yogurt place were closed. So we went here to grab ice cream bars. The cashier was very polite and told us have a terrific night. I am not used to hear that in the Bay Area. Sounds stupid but I appreciated it. read more

We love Grocery Outlet and we shop often at our local store. We were coming back from Murphys and stopped at the Sonora store and we were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the store was, how neat and clean it was, and we found some items there that we did not have in our local store. read more

Much better than merced. Not a lot of selections though. But I like this one soooooo much better.

Multiple of my produce items went bad within 24 hour of getting home. Also, they might want to retrain some of the male employees on how to interact with women without being genuinely creepy. read more

You never know what this place will be out of stock of, Sometimes they are out of loafs of bread, sometimes there out of gram crackers, but they are very cheap. However The stores ratio is constantly at a loud pitch. And There crowded most of the time. read more

Some great deals on organic items, but buyer beware! They are selling an 18 pack of medium sized organic eggs for the same price you get a dozen Large organic eggs. Not really a deal at all. Some of the other items are also cheaper in price but a much smaller package. Do the math! read more

great prices ,quality food ,clean ,well stocked good selections of items and great service , what more can I say?

We live across the street from GO, and are in there quite often. You can get some excellent bargains in there - we buy most of our wine there, for example, they always have good end of the line stuff at very reasonable prices. A lot of their other stuff is good quality as well, and, as one of the other reviewers mentioned, the place does have the atmosphere of a treasure hunt about it. Seldom the same stuff two visits in a row, so buy it while you can! The store has recently been remodeled, and has much better quality fruit, veg and cheese than it used to. read more
