Friendly place to shop! Fresh produce and fruit! All was delicious! Thank you for being a friendly grocery market!! You were convenient for me to walk to! Thank you! read more

Nice little market but I think a little better customer service at the checkout. Returning a milk bottle with a slight milk ring should not be a 5-alarm issue. Rinse the bottle out 2-3 times, if a milk ring is still there, okay. I'm not going to put it through the dishwasher or use a scrubber on the inside. Okay, no big deal. But, don't pick up the bottle like it's contaminated. Don't act like it's dirty and disgusting. Don't act like the bottle is worthless. I didn't project those signals about you! read more

What a great find! Great selection of cheese and treats. Customer service was great. I will definitely be bake!

Classy grocer! O'Brien's Market is definitely a high-end local grocery store. They offer a wide variety of "typical" grocery store items as well as some more artisanal products as well. They have a nice bakery, hot food section, deli, salad bar, wine bar, and meat/fish counter. There is a huge gourmet cheese selection - literally any cheese you may want (cow's milk, goat, sheep) from nearly any country, they seem to have it! They often offer samples (if I remember correctly, if you want to try a particular cheese, they will give you a sample of it)! There are soups, sandwiches, salads, and other hot foods like mac n cheese. The quality of the meats is great! Everything is very fresh and well-maintained. The produce is very fresh too! Although many of these products are higher-priced, their other grocery items (i.e. canned/boxed/bottled/frozen foods) are much surprisingly cheaper than other grocery stores. The store is consistently clean and organized. The store hasn't been updated/remodeled but it still has a timeless design that looks very neat. The staff members are very friendly and will quickly help you whenever needed. The store is never busy and you will rarely have to wait in line. I definitely recommend shopping at O'Brien's Market and will be back! read more

Awesome store! Friendly employees! Superb cheese department. I've honestly never seen anything like it. Very helpful and friendly "cheese mongers" They make gorgeous charcuterie boards at a good price! They have a great salad bar too! You never see this anymore. A+++++ read more

Some of the reviews I read - there are some crazies out there. This store carries high -end meat, cheeses, bakery and deli items. Some complained that they see close to end date items at a discount, but they CLEARLY mark them. I think that's nice for some customers! Also, I love the older traditional look to the store - classy and relaxing. And nice to have a local chain. Staff is super. read more

We really like go to the O'Briens Market on Dale Road. Really good food and friendly staff. It is a nice treat to get a freshly made sandwich made the way you want. Today we each ordered a Custom Sandwich. My wife ordered the O'Brien Roast Beef sandwich with rare roast beef. It was made to perfection along with my Turkey sandwich. I had a slight issue with their mobile app and logged a question and I was surprised that they answered my question and resolved my question super quick (within an hour or so). Great Service - Great Food - Great Store!! read more

We went to this O'Brien's Deli this evening and took the sandwich bags, filled them out and placed them on the counter (standard practice). We went and did our shopping and came back and a lovely worker, Monique, told another worker who did not have her name on her badge that there were two orders there. That worker was older and had an orange clip in her hair. She was so rude and was talking poorly about us leaving our orders on the counter and how it's bad and that they don't even have a bell. She grabbed the bags and walked away to the sandwich area and Monique apologized for her. The older lady just kept making faces and when she saw a different meat than what was in front of her, she walked over to the slicer and was complaining to the other workers and said she "didn't make enough for this". It was possible I misunderstood her but based on her co-workers reactions I don't think I did. She then walked back over and could tell I was not pleased and tried to make up for it and make small talk about my daughter's doll, but instead made a rude remark about only seeing kids with iPads. Maybe under normal circumstances I would have participated, but I was so turned off by her attitude that I was not willing to engage any further. Monique was lovely and made great conversation. Totally made up for the other lady. I am only giving 4 stars because the other lady should possibly not be customer facing if she hates it so much. read more

Always sells expired food as a green dot program they call it where they mark down expired items so if you see a green dot on them they are expired and trying to sell them to you for a little less than over priced. They had a had a dead rat on the bread alsie and still sold the bread. The part owner Bill treats everyone like shit. They are all under payed making 17$ an hour to be a manager is crazy you can make that at McDonald's as a regular employee read more

This is the best O'Briens Market YET! The salad bar is amazing the staff are nice and helpful. The selection of drinks and meats and also cheese is fantastic. The ambiance is nice it's kinda out dated but adds the nice old style to it. Over all the Market is outstanding. p.s when you leave be careful they don't have stop signs where there should be stop sign. read more

I am, a avid O'Brien's shopper.... I always experience nothing but 5 service, especially from Chandra!!!!! I love her. I am sad she moved to this location on Dale rd. I was in the area and stopped at this location, I normally shop at the roseburg location. Since it's around the corner from my home. PLEASE COME BACK TO THE ROSEBURG LOCATION CHANDRA. lol her personality and work performance is always up to par! I love both locations. Always clean, friendly and food is constantly fresh. read more

O'Brien's Market is our absolute favorite. We drive from Manteca to Modesto to shop at the Dale Rd. location. Excellent products and services. The cheese department and butcher can't be beat. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly service. Not the broadest selection of produce, but absolutely the best quality. Love this place. read more

I found O'Brien's Market by accident browsing on Instacart. I thought I'd come check it out since I was headed out to Modesto. Wow! I was surprised to see that this is like Whole Foods, but so much better! That have a great selection of gourmet cheese and cured meat to build an amazing charcuterie board. They also carry Torres Black Truffle chips! 5 stars just for that! read more

This is a beautiful store! The deli sandwiches are the best in town. They are very generous, freshly made, and very tasty. Im so glad this store door dashes! read more

Their sandwiches are really tasty. I love this place! Definitely this is my number 1 place to go.

What sets O'Brien's apart? 1. Outstanding deli. There's a line for sandwiches everyday at lunchtime. And they make my favorite, Aram sandwiches. 2. They've got a stellar wine department. Wine tastings? They have them. 3. A great bakery. The cupcakes are on steroids. Flavors? How about a Pina Colada cupcake? *The coconut cake is amazing* 4. The cheese department is impressive. Gourmet crackers, flatbread, truffle nuts...the whole enchilada. Oh, yeah. They have enchiladas (hot food section) too. 5. The meat department. It's the size of a big city butcher shop. 6. The "fresh produce" is actually fresh. 7. If you need any Thanksgiving Day or Holiday back ups, they've got you covered. They do all the staples. You can order a turkey, fixings, or both. My mom loves their green beans w bacon. 8. And, last but not least, there's a Starbucks in house. It's a family run business. The owner (or one of the owners) always has a warm smile & a greeting. Love that. 5 stars. read more

I called and ordered an Charcuterie Board from the main man of CHEESE """ Joe """.!!! With his knowledge he recommended a medium size. I didn't hesitate for him to take this project on for me. I always wanted to make one myself or order one. This occasion was very important. We all were SO SO HAPPY AND VERY PLEASED WITH THE Charcuterie Assortment, that Joe designed for us. It was everything we wanted and some. The size was perfect. When needed again, my hubby and I, will be calling Joe the O'Briens cheese guy. My hubby has known him for 20+ years. He has always been very professional and very kind. Also, I called the right person for my very special order. We love the quality and customer service we always received and still receive from O'Briens market off Dale rd. In Modesto. Thank you so much Joe for all your knowledge and service after all these years and present read more

Think of a cross between Sprouts and Whole Foods and you have yourself O'Brien's Market. The selection this store has is impressive: + Dozen's of different Cheeses from around the world. + Huge Wine selection + Meat counter twice the ize I have seen on any other grocery store + Every Quest Bar flavor along with various other Protein and Nutrition Bars + Imported food section + Large Deli serving Hot and Cold food. +Bakery section with Pies, Pastries, Muffins and Cake both by the slice and whole They even stock my beloved Halo Top Ice Cream which i difficult to get in most Grocery store's. I picked up a number of items from here - 2 Cheese, a drink imported from my homeland, protein bars and a Cake slice for Hubs and I to share which sadly wasn't as good as it looked (very sweet and artificial tasting). We need one of these store'sin Mountain House. read more

First off I grew up on O'Brien's as a kid when they were on Orangeburg Ave one store. Yesterday I went to Dale Rd to pickup a few things, Yes Mothers Day Weekend. The deli was completely out of many, not one but many salads and pastas. I picked up four eram sandwiches Brought them home and there was (2 )pieces of meat and each roll. The rest was all spinach @ $20.00 each. Called the store deli in which they didn't seem to care . ITS HOW THEY DO IT NOW ..Talk about an overpriced sandwich of all spinach read more

My family always goes to this bakery for cakes and the last time I came to pick up a cake, I saw they had hot food as well and I told myself I'd come back to try it. So yesterday after work I decided to grab something. When I went to the counter, the woman informed me I can get a container with whatever I could fit and I chose that option. She was sooo nice and let me try the meat options to see what I liked. I got potatoes, mac and cheese and ribs. The ribs and potatoes were sooo good. The mac n cheese was okay but I still enjoyed it. read more

O'Brien's Market - Ribs, Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes - Grocery Near Me - Modesto, California

Great store. And they are hanging on to serve their community as the only small local grocer left. Everything else is big box stores and corporate America. The food options are great, the produce is good and mostly local, and the deli makes great sandwiches that are still cheaper than most places. Support local! Thank you O'Briens for all you do for our community! read more

There was a day I would have given this store 5 stars. It has gone down hill fast. I've been shopping here for over 20 years. Love their meat and cheeses. Customer service deserves -5 stars. Cashiers are no longer friendly. Can't even stop their personal conversation long enough to ask if you need anything else. They won't let you bring the carts out- or offer to get you one as they bag 6 bags including milk. They simply sit there chatting with one another watching you leave toting all of your bags yourself. You would think since they are the highest priced store around they would have a shred of customer service to go along with it. read more

I ordered a meal for a family in need on my Nextdoor neighbor app. The family showed up and there wasn't a meal ready (yet). I emailed the owner. Not only did he get the meal situated, he personally delivered the meal to the family and added a gift card. The family offered me the gift card (so incredibly sweet and honest). My heart is so warm. I cannot thank Bill O'Brien or the staff enough. I am truly thankful. Not to mention the store has the most unique and delicious variety. Like everything!!! Thank you Bill and everyone who helped make this happen. You truly went above and beyond. read more

I've been coming here for years, since they opened actually. This store sucks but I still go because they have a couple deli items the fam is addicted to. So with that said, Pros: Some of the deli items are amazing. Cons: 1. Normal items you can find anywhere will be a dollar or more here. Same exact item but douchey higher price. 2. One time they accused my boyfriend of stealing for no reason but I guess his punk-rock style?? 3. They regularly close a couple minutes early and tonight the dude locking up lied to me and said it wasn't 9:57 but actually 10:23. I checked my phone when I got back in the car and it was barely 10:00 by that point. Seriously? You're just gonna lie just like that?? 4. I go to Trader Joe's for most stuff and last time I was there I asked the girl if she was new 'cause I didn't recognize her and she said she had just left O'Briens and "thank god, 'cause this is so much better" I asked her why it was better and she said, "just.. well.. just all over (big sigh) It's just such a better environment to work in" If the workers aren't satisfied then they either leave or act like dicks and who wants to support a company that treats there workers badly? read more

From the first time I went into O'Brien's Market, it felt like a family store. You saw pictures on the wall of people who I would guess would be O'Brien family members. Staff speak kindly to each other and are professional. What prompted me to this review is when I was there last week, I witnessed the sweetest thing. Two kids rode scooters to the front entrance. One stayed with the scooters while one went inside. The young boy was in front of me in line. He had one jar of some sort of spice. He asked the cashier if it was organic, because his mother sent him to the store for that spice in organic. A man working there, overheard the conversation, came to the boy and said 'let's call your mom and find out exactly what she wants and I'll help you find it.' THAT is a family store. I can't imagine anyone at a big chain grocery doing that. Thank you O'Brien's Market(s) for fostering a sense of family in our community. It's one of a million reasons why I'll shop at O'Brien's first! read more

I love Obriens. They have a great salad bar , deli and bakery. I don't live in Modesto so when i go that way i make it a point to stop by. My reason for the one star was the cashier Sherrie. I was checking out had my salads & some fruit & when it was time to pay she had the nerve to ask me if i was paying with a food card. I said huh, she goes food stamps, i looked at her confused & said no I'm paying debit. She just said oh oh ok. Like really who asks someone that. Sorry i wasn't in my Sunday best, i was wearing leggings and a shirt. I don't think you should be asking people how they are paying, ebt debit nothing, let them tell you. I felt a little offended like did i not look up to her standards for someone who uses a debit card not sure, but miss Sherrie needs to be told by management not to do that to customers. read more

I go in right now to the salad bar, it's still stocked and I went to make my salad the lady comes yelling at me saying I can't get a salad they're closed. It's 8:10 and don't close until 9 so why couldn't I make my salad real fast. Just rude and very unprofessional. Wont recommend them nor go back! read more

this un update: sandwiches continue to be on the great side. Now when it comes to customer service and their pathetic WEB SITE and REWARDS PROGRAM to get a free sandwich after 9 purchases, it lacks total PROFESSIONALISM and CREATIVITY. it seems they bought their web program/desing at a FLEA MARKET !!! what a joke........ it was waaaay better when as simple as a punch hole on a paper card was faster and more effective way of getting your rewards (free sandwich). I BEEN TRYING TO REDEEM MY POINTS WITH NO AVAL. SO, IF YOU CONTINUE TO LIKE THEIR SANDWICHES AND DONT CARE ABOUT FALSE CUSTOMER REWARDS ADVERTISEMENT...... GO FOR IT !!!! read more

One of the best markets in Modesto hands down! O'Brien's had their Taste Sensation this evening. I felt like I was in Costco with all of the free samples. Cheeses, meats and sweets galore. Crab cakes, pumpkin pie and ice cream. They even sampled a small plate of roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and sweet potatoes. So delicious! I've been craving Thanksgiving dinner lately so this really hit the spot. After all of the yummy food I sampled, I was so full that I didn't need to eat dinner! Gotta love that! ;) read more

Starbucks everywhere but no Starbucks to find anywhere This was our situation this weekend at Modesto, We were little early and somehow all the Starbucks we were stopping by were closed or too busy, eventually, we found the one inside the O'Brien's Market and I like the couch they put inside the store and Barista was very sweet and helpful and suggested few drinks to my friend (who is new to coffee) and she even offered to replace one for free if he didn't like it (I guess they had something going on between them) but like the location and atmosphere as despite of they being in the store, they still having a great atmosphere and cosy enough to have you in your zone. BTW, they got special sales going on for SB merchandise, Definitely worth visiting before 12/31/2017 read more

O'Brien's Market - Grocery Near Me - Modesto, California

This is for the catering service based in the O'Briens on Dale. We have regularly used O'Brien's to cater company events and they are solid. The food is good, it is delivered on time, hot and served well, the service is good too. Tonight we had filet in a gravy with mashed potatoes, roasted mixed vegetables, salad and pumpkin raviolis. Everything was good, so why 4 stars? The food is delicious, but it is not extraordinary. That being said, I don't know how gourmet any catering could be... O'Brien's is our go-to caterer for company events. read more

Great grocery store and among their extra services is the sandwich and ready-to-eat food area. There is a hot line with entrees such as tri-tip, ribs, chicken and sides that you can buy in take-away containers. Also a large salad bar and another with packaged meals. I love the sandwich area! You can get what you want, fresh, or choose from some of their suggested combos. What is especially great is that there is no quibbling about "extras" like avocados, or extra lettuce or portions thereof. What you want, you can get. And they have egg salad, one of my most favorite light rye and lots of lettuce sandwiches. Prices are a bit higher than Subway, but O'Brien's offers non-formula sandwiches with larger quantity and high end extras at no additional cost, like avocado, which is an extra charge at Subway. I like Subway and frequent them, but when in Modesto, O'Brien's offers a higher end option which I think is well worth the effort and slightly higher cost. Yum, yum. read more

I made a recent connection with Dietz & Watson, a deli meats and cheeses supplier from the east coast. When I was in Philly, they were so great and their products were used on hoagies regularly. When they told me that their products were available at O'Brien's Market, I went to the closest location. They didn't have any that I could see. They have the usual brands that you'll find in Raley's and other stores. The store was good enough, and a bit expensive, but that's fine. I didn't see any reason to return. read more

Hands down, by far, without fail, O'Briens makes thee best Tuna sandwiches on this side of The Mississippi. Whenever I've strayed too far from home and I'm forced to grab a sammich elsewhere, I immediately regret it after the first bite. I've tried many a time to take a picture of this amazing delicacy, however, by the time I remember, I've already inhaled half of it. Try it on sourdough with cheddar cheese and all of your favorite fixings. I personally like mine spicy. Enjoy! read more

Extremely pricey. They constantly sell previously frozen bread at regular prices. The newer checkout staff is rude and act like you're bothering them by coming by their check stand and making them work. If I'm going to pay $6.59 for a loaf of bread, I expect it to at least be soft when I get it home. I'm sure freezing bread isn't the only corners they're cutting. Their meat counter is disgusting! If you want an excellent meat counter, go to the Mexican Meat market in Salida. It's fresh and excellent quality. read more

I like this store. It's clean, never too busy and you can order a delicious panini. My one advice to anyone shopping here is to check your expiration dates!! I grabbed a big bag of salad not looking at it till I got home. It was already browning and expired that day. Had to toss it. Another time I purchased a a carton of heavy cream it expired within 2 days of purchase. Lesson learned! check your dates before picking up produce or dairy items. read more
