Yelp deleted my review because it did not include first hand experience even though I wrote it right after my experience?! Pharmacy called me randomly and said they're canceling my prescription with no explanation. I call back and the employee starts yelling at me belligerently. I then drive down there demanding they transfer my prescription since it had two refills left. They finally admit they found out they're closing so they're trying to cancel prescriptions. Place is pretty empty now with vacant shelves and very depressed employees. Do yourself a favor and get your prescriptions transferred before you get a call. They'll refuse to help so have the new pharmacy initiate the transfer. read more

***Thrifty Ice Cream*** Looking for the nostalgia of grabbing a scoop or two of Thrifty ice cream this Rite Aid still has an area by the entrance with the classic flavors. They also sell the massive tubs for $40 and the scoopers (for about the same price). If they do not have the tub in the flavor you prefer they can place an order for it (what we were informed while there). We were excited to see one still in operation and not too far from us to share in the joy of grabbing a scoop with our littles. We ordered 3 single scoops and paid about $8. Most of the flavors available seemed to contain dairy so keep that in mind if you're DF/sensitive. read more

Getting vaccinated here or at a pharmacy is faster than going to my primary care when I don't have a appointment. Sometimes it's faster when they first open. I would recommend getting vaccines at pharmacies because of the ease read more

Rite Aid - Drugstores Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I was having an emotional emergency and two words came to mind. Ice Cream. It just happens that Rite AID has the best 2 flavors. Chocolate Malted crunch and Butter Pecan. Throw in a box of cones and it's instant happiness. This location has your basics covered. Ice cream counter, pharmacy, beauty and snacks. The real golden ticket is that Chocolate malted crunch. Plenty of parking and kind employees. read more

I'm glad rite aid is still open because, I usually like to have ice cream with my family. Also, I get cotton candy, birthday cake, and rocky road on the cup. read more

Rude employees,,, too busy talking/ laughing with each other to bother asking if I needed assistance- I obviously interrupted them to ask for location of an item The cashier wasn't much better,,, rang me up,, I asked if the store was closing the location as the shelves were ALL 50% empty- she replied NO! I exited and will shop Walgreens in the future. read more

One of the better Rite Aides in this area. Stopped here for some pain medicine for a friend to help them get their prescription. Service was good. Store seem kind of dead and quiet. BUt I also purchased some junk food and a few other items. I have always liked shopping at Rite Aide. its a good experience. read more

It's been a long road. When it was time to pick up my prescription, the last three times. I lost my patience I couldn't understand why they couldn't get it together. But Lisa pharmacist assistant and Yen The pharmacist, did an awesome job this time!!! they had my medication on time. They had everything figured out. So excited. I want to thank Yen and Lisa for all your help. Thank you so so much again. read more

By the time I finally made it to the front of the line at the pharmacy, I had aged about 20 years. Service was so slow. Not really interested in continuing with this pharmacy. read more

My bf and I drove here from Costa Mesa because the Rite Aid On 17th St in Costa Mesa hangs up the phone, refuses to give doctors prescribed inhalers, and is rude to customers after the doctor called over 5x. Yen at the pharmacy was so sweet. Even the other Rite Aid on Valley View was not kind. I think it's the corona virus. I'm sorry these workers are going through all these rude customers. Sorry that my bf gets frustrated but still non confrontational when he has trouble breathing Yen Yen Yen at the pharmacy was the only calm, sweet, and real person around. She is worth the drive. Thank you for caring for the ill. Everyone in this store was kind from Yen at the pharmacy to Michael at the cash front register. read more

Rite Aid - Drugstores Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Went to this pharmacy trying to get my prescription for a cream which the other 2 pharmacies were not able to fulfill. I got helped by the pharmacy manager Yen Nguyen. She is so friendly, professional and very efficient. She's also very patient listening to my complaint. Within half an hour, after she called my doctor and insurance, I got my medicine. I would strongly recommend this pharmacy to anyone. It's the only pharmacy I found that has pharmacist who truly cares for her patient, who would take care and solve the problem instead of sending them away. read more

Agree with the other good reviews about this store. This place is recently been remodeled and superclean and bright! I have all the usual stuff that anybody pharmacy would have, but the staff is extremely friendly and pleasant to deal with. The pharmacist even corrected a prescription error done by physicians assistant. It's a good idea not to overmedicate!! With another store between the house and this one; I could shop at the closer one, but I choose this one instead. The drive-through pharmacy window is open reasonable hours and it's a block from the Eastgate park. Plus it's located in the Von's shopping center with lots of other stores, very convenient. Besides that Rite Aid has old-style scoop ice cream most of their stores. Where else can you get black cherry flavor on your way to a Concert in the Park? Well recommended.... read more

Rite Aid - Rite Aide has great ice cream & Free Prescription Delivery.. - Drugstores Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Best experience ever with a pharmacy! The pharmacy manager Yen Nguyen is super friendly, very personable and makes you feel so welcome. She is also very knowledgeable and so helpful. I had a bad congestion which made me unable to sleep well for several days. She recommended a product that helps clear it up in 2 hours and I can get a good night sleep! I will definitely come back if I need to get a prescription filled or to buy any OTC products. read more

Horrible. I need my antibiotic cream for my eye. They were first closed at 6pm yesterday. I went back this morning and they didn't have any. Changing my preferred pharmacy with my doctor to CVS. read more

They ALWAYS close the ice cream shop before closing. Super frustrating. I came 20 minutes before closing today and they wouldn't serve ice cream. They turned me down as well as other customers right after me saying it was already "closed". If the ice cream section has separate hours they should publicize this. Wasted my time... read more

Yen Nguyen is really nice and helpful. She is a great pharmacist. Although there is a CVS near my house but I rather drive a little further to this pharmacy to get my prescriptions filled. Everyone in the pharmacy is also very friendly. They always greet me by name. read more

I first off would like to say it was a sad day when my insurance changed and I could no longer use this rite aid for my prescriptions, I have quite a few and it is 500 fr away from my house. But the close proximity was not the only reason for my sadness it was the helpfulness and amazing pharmacy technician Wendy and the head pharmacist that always made sure I was taken care off and their concerns and thoughtful words made my days better when I got to see them when picking up My medication. I still stop by to say hello because that's how much of an impact they made in my life. read more

This has to be one of the rudest, most incompetent Rite Aid pharmacies around. Our doctor called in a prescription early in the morning and over six hours later they still haven't filled it. We called and they rudely informed us "it hasn't been filled yet" and hung up on us. Called back and explained the patient was in pain from COVID-19 and needed the medication. Again, "Evelyn" was short and condescending. Said she'd "get the pharmacist to work on it" and tersely informed us "we're doing a lot of tests". Well, what about your sick patients Evelyn??? Do you even feel a duty to them or are they too much trouble for you? Maybe one day you'll be sick and hurting and be treated like crap. Do yourself a favor and avoid this Rite Aid. We will change and never patronize this place again. Too bad they have us over a barrel and we must deal with them one last time. Never again. read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid, when it was still Thrifty Drugstore - for the ice cream. Of all the Rite Aids, I like this one because the staff is so nice. The pharmacists are so knowledgeable and supportive. And Melanie is awesome, and it keeps me coming back. I got a courtesy call to come get my flu shot. Now that is good follow up. I am glad to be able to support our local businesses while receiving excellent service. Thanks! read more

Laughably slow drive thru pharmacy. Had an appointment for a covid test at 12:15, arrived a few minutes early and was only behind ONE car, didn't get my test until a bit after 12:30. By the time i got to the window, 5 other cars were behind me, and the woman made me pull up to do the test and get back in line to return my test, despite the test only taking about a minute to do myself. I did as she told me, came back in line, and waited 50 minutes just to give my test back. You would think in the middle of a pandemic, a new variant on the rise, and with so much emphasis on getting tested and vaccinated, there would be a better system in place to make sure their drive thru testing center would be more efficient. It should not be taking over an hour to do a nasal swab test when i was only behind a total of 6 cars!!!! read more

Love Rite Aid. They are very helpful! Love their senior shopping day. The only problem I have is the shopping carts are to small! read more

When I was a kid, I grew up near a Thrifty's which was a competitor to Long's. Those don't seem to ever have existed in NorCal but there is a proliferation of Rite Aid (which I don't really go to) which bought out the Thrifty chain. When going into this Rite Aid, I saw that they still serve the Thrifty ice cream. What a blast from the past. Instead of the normal hald ball shaped scoopers, they have a cylindrical scoop gun, that picks up and shoots out a uniform can shaped form each time. Wonder why this never took off? read more

Dr. Lien Chau is an amazing doctor that patiently explains all my medication and pros for my vaccines. She genuinely cares for her patients and their well-being and is someone I highly recommend. read more

The two gentlemen who helped me were quite nice and personable. The iced cream o ices are ridiculous. I love the ice cream but last time the freezers broke and I had to buy a pint which I paid for that costs more money than an actual carton of regular ice cream. I decided to discontinue indulging my sweet tooth and skip buying ice cream from here. Maybe once in a blue moon. read more

The staff is always friendly and helpful, a lot of the postal workers are there on a daily basis. The majority of the postal workers are going to miss the convenience of this Rite Aid when they move us from WGG to the main office in a a few weeks :( read more

Yen Nguyen, the pharmacy manager, is the best pharmacist in town. We came from a different pharmacy and impressed how great the service that we received from Yen and her staff was. My medications, which were out of stock from the other pharmacy, were done within 15 minutes and Yen spent time to explain about the medications and also informed us about all the vaccines that are recommended for our ages. Yen is very understandable, patient, friendly, knowledgeable and truly cares for her patients. The other pharmacy staff was also very friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back! read more

Do not come here for your Covid vaccine. The pharmacy staff takes FOREVER and doesn't have any urgency in doing anything. The staff isn't very helpful. They ignore you until you get their attention, and they don't communicate with each other. I came in for my appointment and waited over and hour!! This happened both times. Avoid this crappy pharmacy. read more

So happy that some of the staff from my old Rite Aid pharmacy got transferred to THIS Rite Aid! These ladies have been taking care of me and my family for YEARS. read more

Nothing special/different/bad about this Rite-Aid compared to all others. Except..... I waited way toooooooo long for ice-cream! Therefore, 2 stars. read more

Despite being the only person in line it took nearly 5 minutes for the cashier to check my 3 items. I got two cards and a big sweaty bottle of water. Of course genius girl dumps my fancy cards into a bag the proceeds to through that big sweaty bottle of water on top. Bending and making my letters moist. I pulled them out and was met with a shitty attitude. I handed over a $20 to pay for my purchase and somehow she put in a random number and it shows I owe a balance. Unable to think on her own she freezes......stands there for a few minutes.....jaw drooping, saliva starting to build up.....she looks at me....and tells me I need to pay more money. $1.82 to be exact. I start to explain how I gave her $20.00 and she entered $2.00 but realized it was futile. I understand that we all have bad days....but don't be a bitch about it. read more

Helpful and friendly staff. Wish other Rite Aids ran well as this one.

First off, my beer is always on sale there! That's worth 4 stars right there! People working the pharmacy are really friendly and go out of their way to help you out! Same goes with the rest of the employees who work there. A BIG plus is that's it's REALLY close to home!! read more

They reopened their store and COMPLETELY remodeled!! I was shocked when I entered and also speechless when I saw their beauty section. It literally looked like a section of a mall! I LOVE their nail polish collection because they have everything! I will be frequenting this particular Rite Aid MORE OFTEN!!! Great customer service means extra stars ;) read more

I only got the ice cream here. Workers took care of me quickly for a 3 scoop chocolate ice cream on a sugar cone. They even gave me a cup just in case my ice cream might fall off. Great service If it was a cute girl caring about the well being of my ice cream like that, I would have married her. And as always, the price of the best ice cream in the world is crazy reasonable and as stated... its the best ice cream in the world. Thrifty Ice Cream in Rite Aid... God Bless America! =P read more

Quick run in and grab stuff store. Easy parking and entry. They have beer, medicine, food, photo, and more.

Very helpful employees They always have what you need in stock, fill your prescription quickly and thoroughly explain what your Dr ordered. If you even been here you know what i mean. read more

This Rite Aid has the fanciest interior design. Sad how they don't permit photo/video footage inside.

Went in to fill a prescription, was told to come back in 2 hours, went back then was told that my insurance was not good in Orange County that I had to go to LA County Rite Aid so I go back to the one I usually go to. They end up not being able to fill my prescription because the rite aid in OC transferred the original prescription to their store and instead of putting it on hold they deleted it all together. Now I have to go back to my doctor for another prescription...This was for my mom who is schizophrenic...she doesn't have another appointment with her doctor until next month and she is out of meds...thanks Rite Aid for making things even more complicated! read more
