They also have Taylor ham/ pork roll. Today we decided to try their lunch on the patio. I had the jalapeño cheese burger with a side of chili beans. The meat patty is massive, maybe a half pound. The meat was juicy and seasoned perfectly. The burger had white American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and a ton of jalapeños. The side of chili beans was an 8 oz container filled to the brim with steamy hot ground beef and kidney beans. Great flavor and texture. My daughter had the tri tip sandwich on a garlic buttered roll. The sandwich was jammed packed with thin sliced tri tip. She has the macaroni and cheese. She loved it. They have beer on tap so I had to get a liquid candy. It was a solid meal. Will have to return with the rest of the family.

Adding a quick note about finding gluten-free pre-made cake at this Von's. Our neighbor, who's a…read moredear friend, has to have gluten free baked goods. It was her birthday this week and while I'm stuck at home recuperating from a medical thing, I had helped out Dear Hubby by doing research online for who would have gluten free cake near us. Vons and Ralphs came up with options. Ralphs is not as convenient, and I like this Vons store, so I suggested he go there. Once he did, he had trouble finding anyone who works in the store who knew where said cakes would be. Even at the bakery counter they sent him off in a vague direction. He wasn't finding the gluten free baked goods at all until just before leaving the store and heading elsewhere, he saw a supervisor. Once he explained what he was looking for and how he'd been to different locations in the store without success, the supervisor walked him to the correct area. The supervisor also made a point to tell the bakery clerk where the right spot was, too. I'm sure it's frustrating for management at stores to have employees who either haven't been trained properly or who don't retain information that would make for a better customer experience. At that point in DH's description of his visit, I would have given three stars. However, the strawberry cream layer cake looked very yummy once he bought it and brought it home. And, best of all, our friend loved it! That was a special treat for her as she wouldn't normally go out any buy such a cake for herself. That, along with a homemade card, made her feel special. For that, Vons will get a bump to four stars. Still, it would be helpful to have staff members be familiar with special request kind of foods - like plant-based cheeses, gluten-free baked goods, etc. Just saying.

Vons/Macys gift card final review. Part 3…read more After shopping at Vons for over 35 years were done. As for Macys, were done with them too. Vons in both Simi Valley and Moorpark have been steadily declining most notably in the last five years. Both their selection and service has become very sparse. I for one do not like the obvious corporate decision to herd shoppers to the "self checkout" line. Now they are down to one live person available for checkout, it's just pathetic. The straw that broke the camels back was poor service I received when I purchased a Macys gift card at the Vons in Simi Valley on Cochran Street. They informed me that the gift card was tampered with and the $200 dollars on it was stolen. They contacted Macys gift card department "GC" and had me wait on phone and deal with Macys poor service. Sorry Vons, I will be shopping at Gelsons going forward, although they are more expensive, at least I will get better service and nicer cleaner environment to shop at. Now, as for Macys, just like most of big brand stores these days, customer service is non existent. My simple claim for $200 dollars could have been resolved within a week. But after exchanging emails with someone named Sean, at Macys GC department, and complying with what they asked for, (photos of the card in question and the receipt given at point of purchase) he responded twice that the receipt in the photo did not match with the card sold. After i informed him that store managers confirmed that was the receipt and card that was paid for, and he could contact them (store number included) to verify that, he just replied that the receipt was not a match. Sorry Macys, we will be shopping at Kohl's going forward.

I'm a big fan of Grocery Outlet. I want to shout from the freeway what a wonderful treasure this…read morestore is to our community. Since the new owner Jesus & fabulous Mgr Michael, I'm always surprised with new finds, every time I go in, which is many times a week. I go in just to explore what new goodies they've brought for their customers. Their prices always beat the chain stores. But what's even nicer is that if I don't see something I'm looking for, that may be "out of the mainstream", I can make a request & they're always willing try & order the item. I'm hesitant to tell everyone how great they are. I'll have to share my "personal" secret. Starting a biz is challenging, as so many "starts ups" go out of biz these days. It takes a special kind of person to stay strong & focused. This team has the magic formula, great prices & great CS. I want this store to be successful, so I feel I have an obligation to share. Wish you much future success. Keep up the good work Jesus, Michael & team. Big fan, Ronnee

The store was busy, but everything was so well organized, spotless, and welcoming. You could immediately tell the staff takes pride in maintaining a clean, comfortable, and inviting environment for customers. What stood out the most was how helpful and friendly everyone was throughout the store. Every employee I encountered seemed positive, attentive, and ready to help with anything I needed. That level of customer service is rare these days and definitely deserves recognition. Assistant Manager Kim was especially amazing. She was energetic, vibrant, and incredibly kind. Even while she was clearly busy handling other responsibilities, she still took the time to personally direct me to the sandwich area and made sure I knew exactly where to go. Her attitude and professionalism truly made my visit memorable. The sandwich deli team was also outstanding -- fast, efficient, friendly, and professional. The deli area itself was immaculate, and the service was seamless despite how busy the store was. Overall, this was one of the best grocery store experiences I've had in a long time. I would absolutely recommend this Sprouts location to anyone in the area. Excellent customer service, a beautifully maintained store, and a team that genuinely cares about their customers.

Particularly, after mom passed away, they help me out when it comes to buying food such as the hot and ready stuff. The atmosphere is great, lively, especially when it's busy. There are plenty of employees around if you need help. The store is generally clean. The items are stocked. Plenty of parking space. Getting out is a problem like many stores. Sometimes, they have few people working the counters while there are many people waiting. If you have a few items, I recommend, use the self-checkouts. As far as prices go, you need to use the app as well as look at the paper ads instead of throwing them away. Use coupons if you can. There are great deals, but understand if you don't, this is a grocery store. Traditionally, grocery stores are almost always more expensive than places like Target, Walmart, Trader Joe's, food markets, etc. It's always been that way. But it's also the times. Inflation has gone up over the years, so prices are higher than most. It would be great if the politicians cared when you vote for them to do their job. Not stand around and tell the public, live with it. Which is why, many times, we have different people elected. Hold them accountable, not enable them. Maybe one day, inflation & prices will eventually come down when we the people elect politicians who actually care, not say things that make you nod your head and smile. In the end, I like coming to this Vons location. I've had great experiences shopping here. While I don't do my main grocery shopping here, I come for the deli, and sometimes for the fruit and vegetables. They do have great prices, but use the app and ad paper when shopping.
