You would think there would be a lot Mom and Pop Style delis and places to eat downtown and in…read moreMidtown Sacramento but believe it or not there isn't very many but I have to say with all honesty that the General Store and Deli on 5th Street in the corner of n and 5th is one of the best places not just for food but for anything you might get out a convenience store they have inventory more than most convenience stores more than a 7-Eleven or bonfare but the homemade food the deli it's absolutely amazing it's all authentic they serve breakfast lunch homemade Brick Oven pizzas and more but I think what makes the General Store stand out amongst other delis and eateries in downtown Sacramento is the customer service the employees or should I say employee because the worker Gill seems to be always there whether you going in the morning or right before they close and he is never not pleasant and more than happy to help with any kind of specialtie you might want even if it's not on the menu if he can he would make it for you super friendly very unique nice fellow I go there at least 3 to 4 times a week to eat and when I do I look forward to chatting with him I honestly feel like he's one of my good friends even though I just know him from the deli I don't really know how he does it because I know a lot of people myself included would be super stressed out and probably not very friendly having to work such long hours and deal with so many customers at once often there is a line of people waiting for food and another line of people waiting at the cash register to purchase other items and everybody for the most part is nice and patient and he doesn't ever seem to get stressed out or anything he's just a very nice fellow honestly this review is about the delicious food and great selection of items you can't find in most stores but it's also about him and his great attitude if you've never been to the General Store and Deli on the corner of 5th and N Street I suggest you go if anything simply to meet Gil and maybe have a chicken quesadilla because they are one of the best I have ever eaten I honestly think that he make a better quesadilla than most Mexican restaurants in this area lol it's true though I would give them an 11 out of 10 and recommend to anybody who's never been to the General Store & deli to go there for lunch and try it for themselves you will not be disappointed .

It's a pretty reliable spot for a quick snack or drink. My only qualms is there are often people hanging around outside asking for money, and sometimes the floors by the Slurpee machines get a little sticky (though I guess that's kind of par for the course at almost any 7-Eleven).

I got some packaged snacks that I didn't get a chance to eat (since I left them at my office desk) but I'm sure they were fine. But here's the issue, and I'll say it like this: I don't have a problem with the extra security guards walking around or the staff itself or anything like that. However, I do think there is a problem with general cleanliness at this store. The place just looked run down and messy. I had one of their Slurpees and honestly, I probably shouldn't have kept drinking it with how "off" it tasted. It was watery and not frozen at all, which makes me think either the Slurpee machine had a temperature failure or it was just broken. The Slurpee tasted weird, the flavor was flat, and I'm pretty sure it gave me food poisoning. Overall, I'd say to avoid coming here. If you do, keep your health in mind and avoid the cold drink machines for your own good.

They fired all of their friendly staff or they quit and were replaced by rude people with no customer service skills and some of them barely speak English. On top of that THE PRICES ARE INSANE!! I can get everything cheaper at EVERY OTHER STORE in the area! I'll walk the extra block to Southside Market or Sam's for friendly people, $2-3 off my cigarettes, and cheaper food and drinks. Not to mention it's not even worth buying food there because you have to check the expiration dates on EVERYTHING. I bought a TV dinner from them once that was expired the year prior. EVEN HAPPENED WITH A PEPSI. You can't even trust their hours. Been there 15-20mins before it was supposed to closed to find it already closed multiple times but after what happened today I'm done. Hopefully they sell it to someone else because I'm going to miss that place. RIP INDY IT WAS BETTER WITH YOU. (Photos from Reddit. Today was my last time there after I left because of the cashier but here's your proof. What local convenience store has dedicated Reddit posts about how bad they are? Sad.)

They were always super nice to me and made sure to keep my precious Jolts in stock.

It's always the same two guys working and they always greet you with a smile and friendly conversation. They're quick to ask you if you need help finding anything and they keep expired items off their shelves. I'll be continuing my ten year tradition of being a frequent K Mini shopper.

Adj: Small but Mighty little Grocery Outlet…read more Still a good one, an oldie but a goodie. We've been coming here for over a decade, and it's still a consistently good GO. For a more pricey part of town since it's in midtown, just on the edge of downtown really, this GO has stayed reasonable in all it offers. It's located at 1700 Capitol Ave not far from the east side of Capitol Park a few blocks from the Capitol Rose Garden. This GO is right across 17th St from the East End Complex buildings with offices for the CA Dept of Public Health and CA Dept of Health Care Services. Out front there were still some herbs and spring seasonal plants on sale, although only 1 rack of them left, since it's already kind of late in the planting season. This is a smaller store, given how expensive real estate is in downtown, but the owners have really packed it all in. Every section has most everything other bigger Grocery Outlet stores carry, except maybe not as many of any given item, but overall, I see that most things I'm looking for and buy regularly at my neighborhood GO is still available here. You've got your fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, dairy (milk and yogurt), sundries, pantry staples like cans and dry pasta, seasoning (sauces and spices), freezer items (frozen veg, meats and heat-and-eat meals), and beers & wines all available here with great variety. As you enter the store there's a super convenient grab-n-go deli cold case section for quick ready-to-eat lunches which is super helpful for office workers who might be just looking to get something very quickly for lunch without breaking the bank. You can get a salad kit, a ready-made sandwich, pre-cut fruits, some cheeses, or a deli salad in this section. There's also a small floral section right near here so if you were looking for a gift to give to a coworker/boss/friend/your significant other, you can very easily and quickly find a nice potted plant or a small bouquet and be on your way. It's definitely not a full-service floral dept, but there's a good assortment of plants and flowers to choose from and some of were even tropical plants that looked pretty unique! Next there's the health & beauty section next, and it's pretty comprehensive. Next is the produce section and it's smaller than a suburban GO, but it's still got a little bit of most kinds of veggies and fruits you'd be looking for, and if you're ok with a different brand of salad than your go-to brand, you'd definitely find some here, so the key is flexibility while shopping at GO. Then there's the meat dept next to the produce section, it is smaller, but still a good sized display case filled with meats of all kinds, and next to that are the dairy cold cases where I saw some pretty nice brands of creamers such as Califia coconut creamer and Nutpods creamer, both priced so much lower than regular grocery stores, I'll add pics of those. My fav section is the snacks area. I found some snacks here that have been out of stock at 2 other GO's I visited looking for them, so I stocked up and bought a bunch so I won't run out! So thankful that they had them in stock! The rest of the store is laid out and stocked with pretty much the same items as other bigger GO's. You've got your dairy, frozen, pantry staples, and wine sections in addition to the other departments I already mentioned, and everything looked pretty well organized and quite easy to find. One thing is that the aisles here are closer together probably so they can save space and maximize their shelves to provide as much wonderful grocery items to their customers as they can. Check out was quite easy and the cashier was friendly and quick. Thank you Midtown GO and we hope you will keep on keeping us well-fed at affordable prices. I'll definitely be back to restock when I run low on my essentials and to look for new and exciting items at my favorite "bargain market"!

This grocery outlet, or GO as my wife and I like to call these stores, is centrally located where…read morewe can get to when we're downtown for work meetings or social events. Sometime you just want to hurriedly grab some ready-to-heat-and-eat meals or some chips, drinks, and other snacks, and GO provides these and more conveniently without having to go to a regular supermarket that sometimes just feels big and overwhelming, plus GO often have good deals without having to look for the sales. A no-brainer in my book. So I've come here several times and it used to be really nice and it's still ok, but due to the sad and kind of dire homelessness problem downtown, there's quite a lot of the unhoused folks hanging out in front or around the store, and sometimes they aren't in a good space mentally, so be aware of that when you come by to shop. But generally, the store has done a lot to keep shoppers safe and the store is clean inside although the outside might be more grungy on the sidewalks and parking lot. I've found some really good deals here, some even phenomenal ones, haha.. I always look at the meat section for deals first, and then dairy, cheeses, yogurts, eggs, chips and candies types snacks next, and I don't really look at produce or pantry foods, but the wife would take care of those. I found these amazing sausages for $1.99 recently. What the heck?! I definitely got me a few packs. They've got seasonal items here too, right now it's a lot of Easter candies, cookies, cereal, and even stuff animals and toys. There's also seasonal spring plants, although it's more hit/miss whether they have them here vs. GO's in residential neighborhoods where the vegetable starts are always available in March/April.
