Safeway Truckee is fine? I mean some cheaper prices than nearby Raley's, but not as nice as it's a little dated. It tends to be busy during peak winter months, but the parking lot is pretty huge. Fairly big produce/organic section and wine section. Overall, def not luxe, but a solid enough stop to pick up the groceries and name brands kids love. read more

I visit Truckee for a few days 2 or 3 times per year. Rent a condo, so I cook a few meals. Do the food shopping at this Safeway. It is always super busy and crowded. I feel it's more dated and less cheery than the Safeway stores in my town, Roseville CA. The aisles here in Truckee seem narrow, hard for two opposing shopping carts to pass each other. Inventory seems smaller than a big city Safeway. The wine section here is much smaller. We bought a small cake. The quality was not up to that of our home Safeway. During our recent visit, during the week, there were depleted stocks of essentials. The egg fridge was nearly empty. If you are from a big city that has a more modern Safeway, this one is going to be a disappointment. So just get your essentials, get in line, pay and get out. Try not to think about it too much. read more

everything needs improvement, the staff is rude! They hide or won't respond if you ask them a question! absolutely the worst safeway I have ever been to! read more

Plenty of options for just about everything you need. I needed the lottery machine and it was great, no line, cash only, if that helps.

I used to live near a Safeway in South Reno. It was a newer store but they had good inventory, lots of varieties within the premium brands, and the sales/promotions/coupons were frustrating.. but generally accurate. At this Truckee store, the product coverage is weaker, and I keep finding that the advertised prices don't ring up, even if you scan and/or clip coupons. I asked during my most recent visit, and the cashier confirmed that I didn't miss any steps.. it just wasn't in the system at the advertised price. That said, the employees are nice and helpful and will do the necessary steps to correct things, if you point them out. read more

Conveniently located near downtown Truckee. Stopped by for drinks and dessert. Got the whole cheesecake for $19. It was decent. Not as good as Whole Foods cheesecake. read more

Be prepared to deal with surly checkout people, and long lines during tourist season. Be prepared to get the stinkeye if you don't bag your groceries fast enough. I will go out of my way to go to Grocery Outlet or Raley's. read more

This Safeway was mediocre due to inflated prices and the presence of yuppies walking around the store. It was more crowded than expected for a Thursday evening at around 6 PM, which definitely affected the ambiance. I had just rushed in with my wife to pick up a couple of things for dinner. Fortunately, my wife found a great deal on a 12-pack of Elysian Space Dust, her favorite beer. While going through the self-checkout, we were informed that we weren't allowed to purchase alcohol there, but a friendly customer service lady assisted us at her register anyway. read more

We came here to grab some food and items since we were at a nearby RV resort. We were happy they had similar food items like back home and nothing crazy. The staff is nice and helpful when we needed it. read more

I have a minor obsession with water from the Voss brand. A while ago Voss rolled out plastic bottles - not a fan. I was delighted when I found original Voss water in glass bottles - Truckee Safeway - made my day read more

Good luck being able to park in the designated curbside pick up area (75% of the time I circle and end up parking in the back 40 of the lot). My latest experience has caused me to commit to using ANY grocer except Truckee Safeway. I paid for express curbside, couldn't park, the curbside pickup phone was not working (Called 5 times) and ended up having to go IN the store to say I was here for my curbside express pickup. The customer service people were nice but I do curbside so I don't have to go in the store..... RaleysONE and SaveMart will get my future business. read more

I've never loved this safeway, but decided to stop in to grab some chicken tenders for lunch. As I went to turn into a parking spot there was a guy standing in the spot. His friend in a gray Nissan Z snaked in and stole the spot right in front of me. I was pretty annoyed, but not the grocery stores fault. At least that's what I thought until they got out wearing Safeway hats and proceeded to go work at the deli where I was getting chicken tenders and were very unfriendly. Your employees should not be stealing spots from from customers and then proceeding to be jerks about it. read more

Safeway located in Truckee, CA is a good spot to Go if you'll need some grocery's when staying near North side Lake Tahoe area, they mostly have everything you'll need from Vegetable's, Fruits, Water, Adult beverages like Beer, Wine, and Liquor etc and frozen goods like Tv Dinners. One thing that I don't suggest is buying their steaks here it's very high in price (IMO) I wanted to get RIB EYE steaks And it was price so high like two steak slabs for $50-$60 dollars, I'd rather drive up to COSTCO at RENO (30 min drive) and grab their RIB EYE STEAKS there way cheaper and I'd say better quality and quantity. Parking - Don't have too worry about parking lots of parking space so it's a plus (I seen on other Yelp reviews that people had a difficult time with parking space owners who had Big trailers) One thing I wish they could do better is if a staff member could organize the checkout lines with a better System (there's some customers who think their right when forming a ling like ohh line supposedly be form this way that way etc.) LIKE CMON Also don't forget bring your grocery bag if can cause if not then it's 10 cents a bag for your grocery's read more

Saw this great offer at Safeway but when we bought it it was charged at the original price. Walked over to customer service and they said alcohol price is not guaranteed so basically meaning any price you see on alcohol can be charged at a different price and Safeway won't honor the price shown. Terrible service and her reasoning was I worked her long enough... not that she sets pricing for this location and was extremely rude. read more

Over the past several years, during the holidays this store has always been way understaffed with only two or maybe three checkout lanes open and lines down the entire isle taking nearly 30 minutes to check out. Not this year!! The staffing was excellent with all check stands open every time we went to the store and well stocked. Lines were relatively short (given the Holidays) and compared to Raley's, the inventory was outstanding. A big THANK YOU and great job to the staff and management of the local Truckee store!!!!! read more

I called the floral department to order a bouquet for my boss's wife, they are visiting Truckee for break and we are located in the Bay Area, Jasmine made the entire experience incredibly smooth and pleasant. Even over the phone, she was warm, professional, and easy to talk to. She asked the right questions, offered helpful suggestions and made sure every detail was just right. I really appreciated how patient and knowledgeable she was. Jasmine's excellent customer service turned what could have been a stressful last minute task into something enjoyable. Highly recommend her and the floral team. -Erica read more

half of the "deals" are only if you use the app and I'll tell you what, the last thing on my mind when spending obscene amounts of money every week for my 5 person family, is ANOTHER FREAKING APP!! and when you try to ask the cashiers why the price isn't what you expect they have the biggest attitude about the freaking app "Do you have the app?" and are so rude about it!! Like it's a private VIP club. Then she wants to say "help us out and rate us a 10," on their survey page, like be so for real right now. I never have a good customer experience shopping here. I wanted to ask her "what have you done besides be rude AF to deserve a 10, lady?" -A local who is fed up. read more

I'm not from here but I've never had a problem with my ID back in my home town. The lady that helped me was super rude, kept making faces when she was looking at my ID and said she couldn't accept my ID why? Who knows. If security scans my Id at bars and can accept it, why couldn't she? All the faces she was making made me feel like she was racial profiling me. First time ever being treat like that. DO BETTER. read more

This Safeway met expectations. Clean well stocked store. Long check stands unless you're willing to use the self check. Worked great for me. Convenient parking. Unfortunately, vagrants hanging out in the front. read more

Waited for 24 minutes for someone to help In the meat department to be told to just grab the meat in the package. There was multiple people asked to help One girl told us to grab the package, when we asked for the manager she said ya go talk to my mom in the front, when we continued to ask for the manager she stood there and continued to tell us it was her mom & she was in the front. If I could give this store 0 stars I would. Safeway I suggest you go in there and clean up the employees. We gladly went down the street to the Raleys and to purchase multiple filets & new york steaks. Safeway you are losing money at that store due to your employees being rude and not caring for your customers. Embarrassment r the Safeway company read more

Typical Safeway, almost always overpriced. However sometimes you can get a really good buy on meat.. Found some lamb T-bones for five dollars a pound. They only had two packs left of 10 each. Just enough for a family of six. We don't normally stop at Safeway, however when you're camping you don't have a lot of options. Nice to find a good price on some lamb. As in my review of Starbucks. We are pulling a 26 foot trailer and there's absolutely no place to park. We found a edge along the sidewalk that had a bunch of rocks and we were able to squeeze in next to it where people could go around us. But really no place for RV parking. read more

Bottom line: it's a relatively big Safeway with everything you need: milk, eggs, meat section, fresh fruits, canned items, and alcohol. It's about 6-miles away from Northstar/Ritz Carlton, so a relatively short drive to get your essentials for your cabin/condo/lodge/room. It's about 2-miles down the road from Raleys near Tahoe airport so if you want o save some money and come down here, it may be worth it. - Customer service was average - Venue was clean and items were well stocked - Just beware of holiday shopping like anywhere else and build in time to stay in line. Self check out is available. read more

This store is there... that's really about all I can say about it. Extremely crowded all the time, products mostly in stock, but because the store is so crowded, it's hard to shop. Prices OK for Truckee, nothing really special about it compared to other Safeway locations. read more

Very good selection of foods. Great deli. Produce/fruit is always fresh. Deli meats must be fresher than other stores, because they last longer in my refrigerator. Pharmacy prices are good too. read more

Super friendly staff, always incredibly helpful, and always available to answer the phone when you need something.

A nice way for me to kill time, so I ended up browsing for snacks this morning. It's good to shop early to beat the rush, but not so good when all the vendors are in the aisles stocking up the shelves. Doesn't help that it's a smaller store so I feel cramped trying to shop. I got a few cheese and cracker snacks to help me on my work breaks. I'm sure I'll be a frequent instant shopper. read more

Safeway - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

Well it's a safeway in a place that otherwise might not have a big grocery store. My impression is it's serving a lot of the tourist community -- I was there on a Friday night doing shopping for my own ski vacation -- so prices might be a bit high and grocery stores as a whole have become less service oriented. The self checkout line moved relatively quickly and they had lots of stuff but nothing too specific (e.g., if your looking for more rare spices you probably won't find them there). So 24 hours plus has a pretty good variety of stuff = 4 starts. read more

I've lived in Truckee for the past 36 years and Safeway has always been expensive and a shit show. The employees just don't appear to care. From produce carts blocking aisle after aisle to long lines with just a couple manned checkout lines is ridiculous. Years ago I worked at the airport and the CEO would fly in in a company jet every Friday and leave on Sunday. One day I pulled the guy aside and asked why Truckee was so expensive and with such poor service. The ass looked at me and said don't go there because it's mainly for the tourists. Really?...that's what the CEO of Safeway thought of Truckee....yep. Go anywhere but Safeway in any town is the bottom line., T. Truckee, CA read more

It's okay as far as Safeway goes. Not the best location I've been to, but it's nice to have the option late at night when everything else is closed. We stopped here around 9PM on the way back from Reno for snacks and a bathroom break. The bathroom was pretty gross, probably the worst I'd ever seen at any Safeway chain. But other than that, the service was fast and efficient. We were in and out within 15 minutes! Great place to get groceries, but rethink where you want to use the bathroom if you're stopping here for that. read more

Understaffed. It was embarrassing for the company. Seriously get some help in the store. The checker said this is the highest grossing store in the company. On a Sunday they had 2 check stands open. read more

This is my favorite Tahoe Safeway. They have a ton of self check registers and had a lot of premade food to make for a cheap fast lunch on our way out if Tahoe. There was even plenty of parking on a holiday week. read more

Have you ever wanted to spend $4 on an old bell pepper? How about $9 for half of a rotisserie chicken? Look no further, because the Donner Safeway has you covered! While I understand supply-and-demand pricing, the new Grocery Outlet across the road, and the Raley's nearby, really make me question why anyone would ever shop here. The prices are insane, and the quality is disgusting. read more

April 4th I entered to find all shopping baskets missing in the breezway. Odd. Continued to go about my business in the store and upon leaving, aha mystery solved. The short, chubby, latino Michelle just stood there in self checkout with a huge stack of shopping baskets all piled up the wall right behind her. Plenty of downtime to put them where they belong adjacent/near the Basket sign, it's 5 seconds away!! Just a few steps away to toss a few back. Instead she decided we need to fumble around carrying our items. Hindering customers from shopping by obtusely mis-placing baskets out of laziness is not okay. She acts as if you are bothering her when asking for assistance too read more

Delicious Doughnuts!! Nice one stop shop for anything you need. Store is ran very well but lines can be long. Ryan who works in Starbucks and sometimes in the self checkout area is fantastic. Everyone is friendly with one exception, Michelle. She's a short woman with black hair who sometimes appears at self check out. She comes across as self-entitled and can be curt/rude. She also works in slow motion read more
