They do manage to have a little of everything in a small store. However, they routinely have only one register open. It's not even 7:30 pm and we have 10 people in line. The line for the one register and the line for the self serve merged. The entire front aisle was full of people. It was like a bread line in Soviet Russia during the war. And it's a routine occurrence. The lack of air conditioning was another excruciating factor. Is this Aliso Viejo or a third world country? The prices look like Aliso. The employees told me they always cut the staff at 7pm. I can see being short staffed at 11pm but it's not even 7:30. Some people get off work at 7 and want to buy something for dinner! This is barbaric. I will not shop there after 7 ever again. read more

Grab-and-go is my jam here... Did the ITALIAN BOARS HEAD HOAGIE recently and the HAM SANDWICH and put my Chicago olive/olive oil Giardiniera on it which was delicious. Good value will keep me coming back. The Planet Oat "Barista" oat milk is another gem for my java. read more

We were on our way back from dining at a nearby restaurant and stopped by Ralphs to pick up a few items before headed home. Smaller store but very well-stocked. Almond milk, oat milk, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee filters, and grapes. We were able to get them all in one stop shop. Their meat and salmon are always good. Produce always of good quality at Ralphs. There's also a Starbucks inside the store. Good location in a shopping center with many restaurants surrounding that whole area within a couple blocks. So convenient. read more

Stopped in for a birthday cake at the bakery. Love their cakes!! I was bummed they didn't have any Halloween ones here (I saw them at another Ralphs) but still had fresh cakes to choose from. They also have pretty candles you can buy at the bakery stand. Easy one stop for birthday fun! read more

Once again I go to Ralph's to pick some groceries up and met with solicitors at the front door. So I left. Other supermarkets in the area doesn't have that problem as they enforce it. Maybe the will learn something with this. The other thing is the lack of Handicap parking in front of the store. But the have plenty parking for Grocery Pickup where the customers sit in the car for the groceries to be delivered. That's ok waiting for your groceries. But I guess they don't want the young employees to walk to far compared to the Disabled. The Grocery Pickup use to be on the side of the store. read more

This store is so bad I have to update my review from 8 years ago. If you have the unfortunate need of going to the store early in the morning, you'll be met with one checker on shift, who most of the time, is nowhere to be found. There is one Hispanic checker in the mornings that will go out of her way to ignore you so she doesn't have to open up a lane to check you out. She expects you to go through self checkout, even with a cart full of groceries. I stood there looking at her for literally 5 minutes while she had a conversation, mostly in spanish, about her hatred of another employee. I was totally ignored and I still spent over $200 on groceries....and of course I had to check myself out because that lady ignored me and then disappeared. Never again. This place is awful. read more

This location has the nicest staff! Fresh fruit and vegetables are good. Organic also available!

Almost every time I leave here I ask myself "why the hell did I just go here" ? You walk in and are greated by the wreaking stench of fried chicken ( at ALL times day/ night ) The staff / employees are atrocious. Non existent to be frank. Try asking for help. To be CLEAR With exception to the disabled/ special needs employees they are the ONLY ones working or trying to assist and honestly it's so sad. Cashier today literally stopped while scanning my bananas in her hand to turn around and have a complete conversation with her co worker partly In Spanish so Lord knows what they where talking about in general. After literal minutes she goes back to her main job SCANNING the bananas she has been swinging around in her hand ? Imagine a waiter at your table comes to take your order and while your talking / ordering they turn around start yapping with their coworker.......then say what was that ? Luckily I needed my food more than a felony at this time. End all this place sucks for a Ralphs in south county. Going to Whole foods feels to me like visiting a authorized Nike store VS Ralphs which is like going to Payless . Nothing wrong with the shoes but wow it's night and day. read more

The service at the bakery is horrible; some of the cashiers--and especially the manager--simply do not care about customer service.

Need to change your baby's diaper while grocery shopping?! Too bad! This location DOES NOT have a changing table in the restroom. How is that even possible? Not to mention the store itself is disgusting there was centipede like bugs crawling on the floor as we were checking out. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

The deli/hot food section has really gone down hill over the past few months. STOP SELLING OLD food and TWICE FRIED chicken. The lady that works behind the counter says it is not twice fried...it is TWICE FRIED. Prices have gone up and customers are receiving horrible food. It isn't right to do that to customers. read more

This is another one of Orange County area great Ralphs location. The best food and deli set up than any others I have gone too. Nice store employees and organized food isles. Justin is one of the main guys here to help you with whatever you need. I will come here whenever I am in the area. read more

I wanted to give a special shout out for the manager, Joseph !!! He helped me with gift cards that were faulty. And it took him a whole hour with me to make calls and get everything straight so I wouldn't lose the money on the cards a super calm, super patient and did his job. Well he should be commended !!! Never use Sephora gift cards , a bunch of faulty batches. They admitted the scratch stuff codes and everything when you gently scratched he was super and redeeming with the phone calls to two organizations. read more

This is an average Ralphs in a strip mall in Aliso Viejo. The aisles are wide and full of well stocked merchandise. It's no Gelson's but it's fine for staples like grapes, yogurt and blueberries. Parking is easy and so is self check out. read more

Ralphs Fresh Fare - the inside of a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I was coming here for a quick healthy lunch. Unfortunately, if you get a sandwich from the deli counter, they hide the mayo or are out of it almost everyday, so weird to see the same problem 3 times a week for a couple months. Why do sandwiches if you treat the mayo like some kind of gold. Also, the Togo sushi from Zenshi is pretty bad. I would get California rolls so I don't eat anything raw, but my latest California roll had hard unopened avocado in it, hard and rubbery, so weird. Anyways, not sure I should come to Ralph's for lunch anymore read more

I've always loved this Ralph's because how easy it is to be in and out. I'm not sure what's happening for about the last few months they only have self checkout open and 3 of the self checkout registers were down at 9pm the line was insane so insane they finally opened a regular register but only ONE. The self checkout if you have more than 12 items will ask you to get an associate it's frustrating. I'm not sure what's happening but just to buy groceries is such a hassle. This is reoccurring I'm not sure what's happening but they need some changes. read more

An employee of Ralph's at Aliso Viejo is causing me many issues. The first time I experienced it was about a couple weeks- a month ago when she rang me up incorrectly with an item that was but one get one free and she rang it up half off. I went back to go check on the receipt and then noticed not only that but I had only needed two bags and she charged me for 6! Up on pointing that out she just said oh I didn't see how many bags you got. So I said "so you just took a guess and charged me for more bags than what I got"? She had no remorse AT ALL and said yeah I guess I did , let me give you your $.40 back. Acting like I m cheap, when that's NOT THE POINT. I got so frustrated, I just left because we asked to speak to a manager and we got the run around. We as in my husband and I. I was going to just leave it alone BUT I went in there today, I stopped going to Ralph's because of this but I was in a hurry and needed to go there quick, I was checking out and minding my own business, when all of a sudden SOMEONE SHOVED ME while I was paying for my items. I expected to be met with a "oh I'm so sorry I ran into you, but NO. I turned around and low and behold it was HER. I CANNOT BELIEVE RALPHS SUPPORTS EMPLOYEES WHO TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS. I was going to drop it but now that this happened... no. So I told her, you just ran into me , and she said "oh I did, I'm so sorry" sarcastically. Ralphs NEEDS to do something about this. I am going back tomorrow to properly get her name. I took a photo of her but it's a rad bit blurry. I will be calling the cops and getting her name in the system the next time she tries something. This is the Ralphs: 26901 Aliso Creek Rd Aliso Viejo, CA 92656 United States And I have a photo of her as well for in the meantime. She's a disgusting person and Ralphs is going g to go downhill if you guys keep hiring people like that. ESPECIALLY in Orange County. Literally ASSAULTING their customers. read more

Ralphs Fresh Fare - The lady who is literally ASSAULTING customers, ringing people up WRONG and charging for bags that we don't even use!! - Grocery Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I had asked someone on the floor for a specific product and they had no idea where said product was. Luckily a fellow shopper helped me out in detail on where the product was and brands. Then when I went to checkout I had a terribly unfriendly experience with Lou.B. No welcome no rewards offer and he was not attentive when I tried to pay in cash. He just pointed at the card reader without looking at me with my hand extended out with cash. I don't ever have this issue at Ralphs great deals and friendly attitudes. Hopefully you can resolve this at this location. read more

I had a less than desirable experience at this Ralph's today. The app said my order was ready so I chose the "on my way" option. I arrived to pick up my groceries around 5:10pm (pickup window was 5-5:30pm) and checked in on the app. By 5:34pm, no one had come out to my spot so I decided to call the store (I understand that I could have called sooner but I was trying to be patient). I proceeded to speak to at least three different people, the 2nd and 3rd of which acted like they didn't know why they were picking up my call and I had to re-explain the situation, just to be put on hold again. All of them lacked an ounce of customer service skills too, by the way. Eventually, I spoke with a young man who let me know that their system was messed up and they were an hour and a half behind on orders and asked if I could come back at 6:30. I explained that I would not be able to do that because the location was nowhere near my house. I asked if they would be able to refund me and if I would be refunded immediately, and they said they didn't know how quick the charge would be reversed (understandable). I declined and said I would wait instead. A few minutes later, the young man that I spoke with on the phone came out to my car and said that his boss had already cancelled my order due to miscommunication. This was at around 5:50pm. I ended up going in to shop for myself right after. I wasted time placing my pickup order and sitting and waiting for my order to come out, just to have to go in and shop anyway which was quite frustrating. Overall, I just wish that someone would have noticed that I had checked in and come out to let me know my order wasn't ready before I had sat there for 25+ minutes... and maybe some sort of resolution?? I do want to shout out Bob who checked me out and Quinn who bagged my groceries because they were both fantastic and so friendly! read more

Christine at Starbucks makes the best pumpkin chai latte iced all year long I walk by her and can't wait for her to make my drink when october rolls around , theres just something she does with the cold foam than can't top other pumpkin chai lattes! Unfortunately october is over and I gotta wait another year for her to make my drink but I know she will be there when the time comes ! Thank u Christine for making my pumpkin spice dreams come true ! read more

There are no regular cashiers available. You have to be your own cashier and then there's not enough help. If the register doesn't like what you're scanning then it takes forever to flag someone to help, to top it off all the cart wheels are horrible. They don't move in at risk for hurting someone's back. I left the store frustrated and the person who helped had no sympathy! YIKES ! read more

Old, dirty, foul smelling, weird shelves that are too high to reach. I can't stand this weird dated grocery store and only go in a pinch. And today they didn't bag my pack of cheese I purchased. I don't know how Ralph's corporate allows this place to remain open. read more

I don't normally leave reviews but I had a wonderful experience. I am a college student who wanted to celebrate all their friends graduating and never seeing them again. I only couldn't spend set amount of money and I accidentally went over because I payed for someone else's groceries (my fault). Cece who was my cashier ran outside because I accidentally payed for someone else's groceries. That was on me. There was a rude lady next to us but she handled her with care and wasn't mean. She was super nice and got me my money back. Literally best worker ever!!! Thank you CeCe!! I appreciate you!! read more

I went there to purchase some cheese and loved the experience. Rick was absolutely amazing : super polite, helpful ... I will return there without hesitation. Great experience. Thank you Rick read more

I used to like to do my grocery shopping on Friday evenings but they no longer have cashiers. I had a whole cart worth of groceries I had to check, weigh and bag which would be fine if there was enough room for a large amount of groceries or I was being discounted for my services. Not sure where the customer service went but tonight I noticed yet again no checkers, so I walked out with my grocery list and will shop else where.. read more

Again, solicitation still going on in front of the entrance. And the employees care less if you support the store. They look like they don't want to be there. And maybe they should find another place for employment. There are only two employees that I see are polite and say hello and thank you. That's an older women and gentleman. If you goto the Ralph's at 25539 Paseo De Valencia in Laguna Hills there's a difference between day and night in service. Maybe the manager in Aliso Viejo should take pointers from the manager in Laguna Hills on how to run a store. read more

Came here at 10 mins to closing (12:50 so technically 8/28) to get literally one item real fast (I was aware they were closing soon) and they were already locked up. Tried knocking but would not open doors. I know it's close to closing but 10 mins to closing isn't closed. Lost out on business read more

I visit this grocery store weekly. The best part about this Ralph's is the excellent customer service! Today, my cashier was Maria. I had a Boston pork butt in my cart and as Maria scanned this item, she alerted e that it "smelled funny" (ie: past it's prime) and said she'd prefer to keep this cut of meat away from customers. (And dispose of it.) I've never had a cashier be so courteous and caring for my health! She most likely saved my family from getting really sick from a bad cut of meat! Maria deserves Manager status! read more

I've tried giving this Ralph's a chance so many times but the customer service is just not improving. Each time I go to the check stand, there a couple employees who are just nasty with me. If this continues I plan on getting their names. What happened to greeting customers and smiling? Not everybody is having a bad day and you are getting paid to make sure everyone is happy with their shop. Let me teach you. "Did you find your shop okay?" That's a question that should be asked by every cashier. Period. I've been in customer service for many years and this place has me wanting to shop elsewhere going forward. Shame on you guys! * there are a couple great guys in there. I will write more reviews once I get some names. read more

The customer service at this location has improved quite a bit, while some things have worsened. The produce has gotten really bad... especially the greens (particularly the broccoli and spinach). The leaves often look wilted, as if old or it had to travel a long ways to get here. It's gotten' to a point where I now do part of my shopping at Ralph's, and then I buy all my produce at Whole Foods. Seriously, look at the produce at Whole Foods... it's like night and day. They also stopped carrying quite a few organic dairy products they used to carry. I hope they improve their stock as this is by far the most convenient place to shop at in terms of location. It sits right next to... everything. read more

BEST MEAT DEPARTMENT EVER. I came in with my wife and 2 kids looking to get a good selection for a barbecue. Right away the gentleman named michael was super enthusiastic to help me out. He was such a sunshine. He was making my hot wife giggle and my kids laugh. He got me a great selection of meat to choose from. Michael is 100% the best at his job. My wife comes in alone a lot already and she gets super excited to see michael so I know he's the best! 5 stars! read more

This Starbucks has some tough ones over here! They put up with a lot and are skilled at handling the high volumes in such a small space! Love this location in Ralph's. Dylan is an exceptional worker - always kind, patient, and genuinely attentive to everyone's particularly extravagant coffee orders. Both his charisma and conscientiousness deserve to be acknowledged, along with his diligent team of baristas. Tis' a hard thing to serve the not-yet-caffeinated... read more

It's ok. Not great though. It's really expensive compared to other stores and the self checkout is very lackluster. I went to checkout for maybe 5 items at self checkout and there was a lady waiting for service so I called out to one of the workers (an elderly man) and he yelled "one sec". There were no bags so people were just grabbing them out of the restocking pile that the workers were supposed to be doing. I wouldn't go back as it's way too overpriced. As far as the Starbucks inside, the lady was kind of rude when I went because I asked her if their pop up takes gift cards. read more

Always busy, good variety and value. The Bistro has some delicious items, the deli serves Boar's Head meats, the bakery has donuts but always sells out before noon, the soup & sushi island is always Fresh and tastey, fruits & veggies are plenty & great quality, and lots of alcohol.. plenty!! The only thing missing is that Ralphs in general, doesn't offer Apple Pay or Tap Pay.. So minus 1 full star.. maybe by 2025 they might change their minds.. If gas stations and small businesses have it.. why doesn't a Large Grocery Chain..? Hmmm read more
