I was greeted at the door when I walked in produce great lots of summer stuff very clean. No trash on the floor. Employees were very happy. They were smiling and you smiled at them. Asked me if I needed anything with a great experience. I live in Tustin, but I will drive all the way to Irvine to shop and I'm grateful Grocery Outlet and Irvine is there. read more

Just left grocery outlet the cashier on number 1 was very rude and I will never come back here

New locations popping up all over quickly in my area and this is another good one. I really love the service here and that they always offer new products. Not a huge fan of their fresh items, but you can always find some great freezer items orthings for the home. Prices are usually less than half of what you would pay elsewhere, great addition to the area, worth checking out. read more

Poor customer service in regards to the bathroom. My little girls and I came here for shopping, today with my own big ass grocery bag in hand. My 5 year old needed to use the restroom and when I asked for the code the African American cashier sarcastically said,"The public restrooms are outside!" I told her we are customers. She said she needed to call the manager. I told her again we are customers, give me the code. She said she would send someone back there. My 7 year old said,"That lady's rude!" She probably should have just asked if we were customers, nicely and gave me the code. This is not the way to start off the new year. I man helped us while we were back there an apologized on her behalf, but she should have apologized instead. read more

This particular Irvine Grocery outlet is STELLAR !!! Always very clean, nice wide aisles, and amaazing products e.g., green olives with almonds, interesting wines and spirits, fresh produce, and meats. Though hit & miss --especially when seeking products purchased in the past -- this is still a far better Grocery Outlet than Costa Mesa. Costa Mesa feels dirty, part of this is not the store management fault, its the crowd in this neighborhood, very sketchy. read more

* I am in love, I am in love * The first time I ever went to Grocery Outlet Bargain Market was in Orange. I'm excited to see them popping up closer and closer to where I live (south County). The Irvine location is a bit hidden, I'll say. It's in the Barnes & Noble centre in Woodbridge there.. but it's hidden. It is visible from the road AFTER you pass it, but if you park by Barnes & Noble and the cinema, it's in the back. I didn't think that was typical for most grocery stores, but it's a nice, few minute walk, so I didn't mind. I love this store because of their very competitive prices. This location has a great selection on protein bars, nuts, dried fruits, and jerky--all of which I take hiking. Also a good produce section, and good deals there. I wasn't able to find black trash bags (you know, like the yard waste size), so I had to go elsewhere for those. Good cereals and such, too. 2018: 19/100 read more

I spend a lot of money in this store every week. I have a family of 5 (3 teenage sons) and 2 dogs so the low prices are appreciated. Well... Looks like I won't be coming back after the poor service from the "new owner". I had a 30% off one item coupon from the Irvine Company book. They had our dog food in stock so I decided to use it. The dog food is $18 a bag so I figured I would save the $5 and change. Well... I guess not. The new owner refused to honor the valid coupon basically telling me that the coupon left with the prior ownership. Petty and poor customer service. Good start by the new ownership. Hope it was worth losing the $200+ we used to spend each month at this Grocery Outlet over less than $6. I will make sure I post on Next Door too. You should think a little more before essentially insulting long time Irvine residents. It's a small community and word travels fast. Good luck new owner... read more

The manager, Angie, has to go. We were trying to ask a very nice employee a couple of questions about inventory in this store and she ordered him away from us because we were "talking too long." We confronted her and asked for her name, and if we could speak with her Supervisor. She said her name was Angie and that "no one" was "above her." I doubt she's the owner with that poor attitude and leadership. I feel bad for the employees on her shift. We left the store to shop elsewhere. Very disappointing, and those employees deserve better. The customers do too. read more

Rude service. Might be a management issue since everyone has that bad attitude. Definitely won't recommend grocery outlet

I wasn't sure what to expect on my first visit to this store and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. They have a small seasonal area and a home area if you're looking home décor. They have good prices on food items and I will be shopping with them again. read more

Very pleasantly surprised! I was going to do an in and out just to see and then head to TJ's where I always grocery. The first 2 isles did not impress me. I felt like I was at the dollar store and thought I'd only find gmo's and items soon perishing due to the name. I wound up scoring quite the haul with loads of good buys on organic items and super foods surprisingly. I don't know how consistently they get the same items but I'm thinking of going back to stock up on a couple things like Avocado and Coconut Oils. I'm very loyal to Trader Joe's and venture to Whole Foods for some specialty health foods and personal care items. I will stop here again next time I'm in the neighborhood. Update: I'm back. Those organic grass fed petite fillets got me back here and the super antioxidant tart cherry juice. Found lots of other great buys. Even some bathroom products. I'll be back. read more

Thank you, STAFF and the Owners, for keeping sanitizing spray bottle near the entrance! It is REALLY appreciated and is so much better and faster than wipes - reusable, no waste, better coverage, unlimited, low cost..... I sprayed the entire cart when entering and a handle/my gloves and bags' when exiting! Ps: just an idea... may be instead of stinky bleach, you can refill the bottle with fragrant bleach or Lysol... ?! ALL - Stay Well in this unknown chaos ! read more

Talk about incredible deals! For only $51 I stocked my entire fridge! They have a huge selection of wine too! read more

Omg, this place is amazing. My boyfriend and i stopped in after dropping $100+ at Whole Foods, and I regret buying snacks at Whole Foods now! This place is SNACK HEAVEN!! They had Brazil nuts for $9.99 which is unheard of, and organic Hawaiian coffee (2 pounds worth!) for $10! I cannot believe it. We will now be coming here for our snacks and not buying snacks at regular markets anymore! Picked up some baby hens too! Super excited to cook those up. read more

Great store to go to if you don't have a shopping list. This is one of those stores that has mind-blowing prices, so you have to be prepared to buy multiples. The store is very neat and clean, easy to navigate through, and not usually busy. They have one good aisle of organic and natural foods (as well as in the frozen section), but this location only carries beer and wine for alcohol (no hard liquor). Plenty of parking, as it's situated at the end of the plaza, next door to a yoga studio and a plaza of eateries. read more

The products were very cheap. Even though the selection was small I was able to leave with the essentials, and the customer service was nice. The lines were also small so it was an easy get in get out grocery run. read more

What a joke of a store!!! One long line with a single checker every time I go there...and it takes forever to get a 2nd checker and only after frustrated shoppers say something!! I'm done with this frigin' place, and it's a mess every time I've been there...bye, bye GOBM!!!! read more

The food is old they made me stock ice cream that melted and he randy and. His nephe Red did not care about the public every one that works for them gets shorted on hours as mike g m his family works there read more

I have never shopped at this market before so I wanted to try it out. I was wearing a sheer cloth mask that I wear out to plenty of places to shop and even have worn it inside of doctor offices and urgent care. I have breathing issues that can lead to dizziness and chest pain. Instead of being greeted at the front door when I walked in-I was yelled at and rudely asked if I had a mask on when I clearly did. The woman told me that it was too see-through? Okay, that's fine. A lot of places provide paper masks if you forget one which I would have worn with no issues. I asked her if I should leave to which she turned away from me shaking her head. I understand if you are just trying to do your job but there is a polite way to treat a potential patron and that definitely wasn't it. I then asked if I was allowed to stay and shop or if I should leave to which I was ignored completely. read more

The macarons here are amazing. Better than anywhere else I've had. And they are non-gmo, no artificial colors or flavors! Found other good deals as well. read more

Nice place to get groceries. I did not like how other customers bring their dogs in and let them sit in the cart. Cart is where i put my groceries in, I wouldn't want a dog sit in a same spot with my food. It is gross! read more

Great prices, good selections! I found a 10 pack beyond classic cookout frozen burger patties for $7.99. In addition, they had Tony's chocolate for like less than $2 when I know I paid close to $6 at other stores. Also picked up some activia yogurt for a buck each. They had some about to expire deals which was also 8 activia drinkable yogurt for only 0.98! Crazy good deals if you can consume it within a couple of days. For other stuff that is regular price, prices are similar to your local stores. Overall, place was clean, not crowded and well organized. Will be coming back! read more

Really like this store. Like other businesses, they need to update their "COVID-19" business hours. Found out the hard way, they close @ 9pm... not 10pm. Beware:( read more

Terrible service at the irvine location. I get shopped by Martha, manager, accusing me of shop lifting. I ask for the manager. I talk to DJ, the owner and complain when I walked out of the front doors ready to go to the car, Martha accuses me of shop lifting. Did Martha see the crime? of course not. Martha just thinks she is above of the law harrassing innocent shoppers. I tell the owner I don't appreciate the accusations from your employee - Martha. I returned for a full refund because the store unlawfully harrass and commits crimes against the shoppers who is innocent. I call to talk to DJ afterwards and say DJ went to the doctors. Sickos. Beware. read more

If you shop in this location be aware it misleads customer's and charge more than you bargained for... setting wrong prices in wrong ítems . Happens to me more than 5 times. I though it was my mistake at first but no now .I decide speak with the manager when today they charge me $4 more and I find out I was charged (when I was there to complain )$8 more!.-the manager (a lady who didn't identify herself but an employee single her as The Manager) she stood there , said nothing do nothing.I called before and someone said go back and they will fix it but instead it was awful waste of time, they made me drive there for nothing. I am done with this location. Others location have a better customer service shop there instead..No wander this store is not so busy compared to others.Fix your customer service! read more

Shopping is a hit or miss. They won't give bathroom code or open door. I would not come back.

The always have great and interesting deals on their WOW emails. However, more often than not, they do not have those items in stock or they just lie to you. There was an ad for Sensodyne toothpaste. Called the store a few times and they confirmed it is there. However, when we got there, they said it was not the correct item and the one on the ad is "sold out". What a terrible experience and waste of time. read more

I've been here about 5 times and each time either only one or no cashier available. Such slow check out. I bought a candy bar I thought was a bargain at $1 but when I checked the expiration date it was the same date I bought it! I should have figured. The worst part may not be all the stores fault but they really need to monitor the parking lot for carts. It's unfortunate shoppers are inconsiderate and rude to leave carts in any given parking spot because they are lazy but the store needs to make sure carts are regularly taken back to the store. Picture attached is ridiculous. I don't think anyone collected carts all read more

No doubt their prices are very affordable but they have to orient their crew not to tie their hair in front of the customers and then ring the grocery items specifically food items :( read more

I'm giving this rating because the cashier I always get is so nice and courteous with me every time I go. However, this rating would have been lower because I wish these reviews were all lies but sadly they were not. Went in today to get a few items and after having read the reviews I kept an eye on the pricing of my items, guess what?!?! These reviews were indeed correct. The price of the item said 3.49 for one of them and 3.99 for the other, on the signage. As soon as I got to the register one of those items showed up as 10.99. When the manager got called up he said it was 10.99 and then proceeded to explain that even though it was the same item, if I were to look at the packaging, one was clearly bigger which was the reasoning for the item being 10.99. Again, both items were labeled being 3.49 for once and 3.99 for the other. NONE of the other products for similar items were labeled as 10.99 while I was checking, and I checked a lot. I was okay until the manager tried to justify the reasoning for the huge price increase at the register and it being because one item was clearly in a bigger packaging. The packaging was only slightly bigger. Same quantity of items in the box, just slightly bigger packing lol. read more

If you want to save a buck or two on your groceries, come here! They have good deals and a good selection of food. Not everything is off brand either, most of them are popular brands. This store is super convenient for times like when I forget water for dance practice. read more

I love grocery outlet, very great deals , very clean and organized martha the cashier is so kind she was very polite and helpful wide variety of food and merchandise read more

I shop here every so often. You can find random items but for the most part it's always decent name brand items. For instance, The most expensive item I bought today was only $3 and it was bag of 6 large fresh bell peppers, quite the steal! Everything else was $0.99 cents to $1.99, not too shabby!! You do have to look to find but I'm sure everyone can find something they need or use regularly. read more

I love grocery outlet. I haven't been to other ones but this one is great love the location and there's usually parking. I see the owners around sometimes they seem very nice. The prices are the best I've seen around, honestly. I always think I'm gonna spend about $30 and it ends up being less than $20 which is crazy with how much I get for it. A lot of the stores in this center aren't open yet so there's not that many people so I can easily shop around. There's stuff here that are $2 less than what I find at places like ralphs. I got a good deal on olive oil. $5.99 buy one get one free read more

Grocery Outlet - Giant bag of popcorn! - Grocery Near Me - Irvine, California

First of all, I love walking to the grocery store without crossing a major highway. It's convenient to the bike path so I pass it regularly. When we just needed cheese and sour cream last night, we decided to walk there cause I knew they'd have the basics. But it's a plus when there are so many other gets deals that we walked out with many other goodies as well. I love that even when it's "busy" it doesn't feel as chaotic as mainstream grocery stores. I can get most of my produce here and the meat we've had is great as well. It's only a bummer that things change so frequently (they used to have coconut creamer, but now they don't). Other than that, it's been a great addition to Woodbridge. read more

Thank you Grocery Outlet, for being completely stocked up with all of my grocery list items. Every time I go into your store, I see employees working to keep the shelves full of merchandise. Great job. read more

Great store, super clean and found a lot of great quality items. I was surprised to find a lot of best in class brands at super low prices!

This is a brand new Grocery Outlet located in the Woodbridge center. It is more or less in the same space where the Korean supermarket used to be (even though all the buildings are now remodeled so I suppose it would also be where the Stein Mart used to be as well). The entrance is on the Del Taco side of the plaza. The prices are variable as there are some items that are more or less at the general market price (such as Rubbermaid food tubs) and some that that would be comparable to discount store prices like 99 cents stores. But there are some that are even better like the Lean Cuisines (which I think were 2 for $3), even though there's only one flavor of that available compared to other supermarkets like Albertsons. The square footage inside is similar to a 99 Cents store with wider aisles for more maneuverability, but you could probably only fit about 3 (wide) people side by side in an aisle. Sometimes people bumped into me, but I do have a big butt. There were maybe 3-4 checkouts open at the time. They were non-self-checkouts. At the time the cashier was both bagging and checking out so it took a short time for it to process. There's a TV that shows advertisements above the checkout. I think they were not distributing any more free stuff for the grand opening event since I received nothing even after I bought something. But they were still having some giveaways outside by the large climbing structure. And balloon art too. read more

worst place ever. went there and my friend had to place something in her pocket because she had no hands to hold it. lady came by and told her that there was something in her pocket and make sure to pay. we said we will and went to check out. we scanned all the items INCLUDING THE ONE IN HER POCKET and the lady deliberately went out of her way to YELL AT US! also she was a worker there. don't know her name but she had black hair in a bun and darker features. she yelled at us and had my friend empty all her pockets even though we showed the item that was in her pocket on the register belt. she proceeded to yell at us and tell us not to steal-- when we were never going to in the first place. another friend went in to go buy something when an employee with blue hair and male told her that if she went in and didn't buy anything he would call security on her? what? your employees suck. read more

I LOVE Grocery Outlet! I do my best to visit as many locations, because each store has something different to offer. What I like about this particular location is it's cleanliness and they offer more gluten-free varieties than other locations I have visited. I'm a total snack monster so Grocery Outlet has always been my go-to for random GF goodies and healthy food alternatives. And cheese. And of course, their inexpensive wines! However, it does takes me a long time to decide on a bottle because I like to look up reviews before deciding on a purchase - one can never be too careful when choosing from a selection of cheaply priced alcoholic beverages. If you're patient enough, you're bound to find something decent. Like today, I picked up a bottle of Stella Rosa Imperiale Brachetto D'Acqui for $6.99! And who doesn't love seeing how much money you saved, circled at the bottom of your receipt? Specially when it is a greater than your actual purchase! Only con... beware of expiration dates! Lol. read more
