I stopped in to pick up a few lotto tickets during the recent huge jack pots. The gents in the store were friendly enough and provided quick service. The store dubs as a liquor store and small market. They offer a good variety of domestic and imported beers, including a good amount of local beers as well. I liked that they offer firewood and propane replacement tanks. They also have gas pumps neat by but the price will be a detriment to your wallet or purse. read more

Market At the Ranch - Grocery Near Me - San Diego, California

he was very creepy and rude he threw my change at me and kept staring at me creepily I was very uncomfortable and don't go here unless you want problems read more

1) weird eye contact and no greeting. 2) tells me it's a $.50 charge for using my CC, as if I don't live three blocks away, haven't been coming there for 6 years, and don't already know that. 3) anxiously tugs on his grubby t-shirt while my CC transaction goes through. 4) CC is approved rinse and repeat. read more

Both workers are quiet and leave you alone, but if you talk to them they are very nice guys. Very convenient right in the neighborhood

Love this place the owner and his family are always nice! A little expensive but that's what you pay for convenience.

"Convenience Oasis ", would be a better name for the Market At the Ranch. The market name might be a little stretch, its more of a convenience store. The "convenience store ", is located in the middle of a huge residential area with no other competition in site. The Market At the Ranch is located in a strip mall along with a mix of restaurants, doctor offices, dental office and other small businesses. The market itself has fuel pumps (no diesel), bagged ice, Blue Rhino propane cylinder exchange, soft drink vending machine, coffee, booze, Lotto, ATM and the standard convenience items you would find at a 7-11. As for the service-well lets just say I don't reside in the community so l don't need to stop by again. I experienced a healthy dose of terrible customer service from not one but two employees. With that in mind I can only give a rating of two stars. The stars are for the convenience and gas. read more

See all

Repeatedly rude. Man behind the counter shook his finger in my face and yelled at me when I was buying lotto tickets. Told me to "remember we sell these for FREE". Told another customer in the store buying the tickets was a waste of his money. Always in a sour mood. Once literally closed the door in my face when I got there 5 minutes before closing. Needs new employees/management. Deserves zero stars but that isn't an option. read more

Don't waste your time coming here...the guys a jerk!!! I was driving my daughter to school and I stopped by and I got 1 gallon of gas $6.50 because it pumped so slow but when I got back in my car I realized it did not go into my car so I have no gas and the guys won't give me my money back. I asked for my money back and the guy just said please don't give me a hard time....what is this? I will never go to this place ever again! What a jerk! read more

I have been living in this area my entire adult life and most of my childhood was here as well. The mini mart was traditionally the place we all go as kids and even now as an adult. Recently (over past 4-5 years) the customer service has progressively worsened, its horrendous. Especially from the PM crew. The guy (I think it's owners son) that works nights is incompetent with an overt lack of customer service. He will literally count out $.99 of change rather than giving you the one penny no matter how frequently you buy one of their 5x mark up items. Everything I have bought from here has broken within a day. Overpriced items and your patronage is undervalued. I always try to help the little guy or non-corporate place however I can't support them any longer. I can give many examples and I hate writing negative reviews. I am a life long scripps rancher w many friends and family that live here. With that said I've had enough of this place. Go to Vons: you'll get what your looking for at a fraction of their cost and you won't be treated so poorly. That's coming from a guy that's been in Scripps since the late 80's. read more

This is a long overdue review for Market at the Ranch and I'm shocked to see bad reviews here. They have been nothing but kind to my family and I. Yes, the GAS prices are high but it's a convenient store located in Scripps Ranch. Being a resident here I don't think I ever got gas here. If I did, my car must have been running on fumes ;) I've come here almost daily to grab a cherry slush puppy and lottery ticket. Each and every time, I'm greeted by the Owner at the door and treated with respect. He will even come help me at times. He is very hands on and I remember one time he came over to help my 10 year old Son. I'm thankful we have the Market at the Ranch here because they have saved me several times when needing something quick when others are to far or closed. Thank you for being so welcoming and sweet each time we come in ;) read more

It's a love-hate relationship with this convenient store. Prices of products they carry (some generic grade) are so high you have to think twice if you really need to have it or drive another 10 minutes to go to the grocery store. People desperate for gas come here and pay an extra quarter or so per gallon... it's crazy! The people manning the store are super friendly and helpful. When I buy ice or wood, they always carry them to my car. read more

Please stop being so damn cheap with your electric bill and turn down the temperature in the fridges. I'm tired of having to put any drink I ever get from you in the freezer at home before I can enjoy a cold beverage. With the mark-ups you charge you should at least provide cold beverages. read more

Seriously rude people work here. Do yourself a favor and drive the 2 miles to get gas elsewhere.

This place does not show customer appreciation. The prices are herrendous and the gasoline is watered down. The management has no connection with the community and I feel they are stealing from good people. I have had problems including my family. If you need booze or gas I would go elsewhere as well as the management that is piss poor just like their disrespectful owners, expensive alcohol and watered down gasoline. -jumbo read more

I agree with the other reviews and the prices can be a little high but you are paying for the convenience and because it's locally owned. The owners and staff have always been very friendly and helpful. There have even been a few time where I have just watched tv and chatted with them after I picked up some water. They have a pretty decent selection of products and have a pretty big single beer selection that you won't find at the Vons up the street. The gas can be a bit high here but I always see people here since there isn't a station for miles. I will gladly pay a little more to support a nice, family business like this because they're close by, extremely friendly and are there for you when you need something on the fly. read more

These guys are funny - they only use the register about half the time. My "TIP" for you is to check the expiration date on the food that buy. read more

Overpriced rip off. I came here because it's conveniently located across the street from the little league field. Now I know driving a couple blocks to 7-11 is worth the gas to prevent these f*ckers from overcharging me. read more

Overpriced and did not return balance of what was charged on credit card vs. gas bought.

This is a small quick-stop market that has the expected high prices and meager staffing. The advantage is that it is there, and it is open when you need that lottery ticket (the customers in front of me bought $20, $20, and $60 worth of lottery tickets) to win the "Big One." What a waste of money. Anyway, the Pepsi was $9.24 for two 6-packs. I should have gotten more at Vons for $3.00 a 12-pack. I guess it serves me right for not thinking. read more

Won't make the mistake of shopping here again. A pack of gum is almost $3 and there is a 70 cent surcharge for using a credit card. Well I wouldn't have had to use a credit card if the gum was $1 like it should be. I understand paying a bit more for convenience and location, but this is price gouging. To top it off, the guy behind the counter was a jerk and barely spoke English. It was my first and last time at the Market at the Ranch... read more

What a blessing this establishment is for our little corner of the world. This locally owned and operated market is close at hand when you need them. Now they are offering deli sandwiches at lunch time. Now you an get a great sandwich without leaving the ranch. Have you tried Pazzo's? Don't waste your money. Go to the market instead. Their Meats are fresh and tasty. The breads are locally baked and bought in fresh daily. Soon they will be offering Homemade soups and salads. Let's support their efforts. It's good for the neighborhood ! read more
