Very disappointing experience at this location involving a simple product return. My mother attempted to return spoiled fish with a valid receipt from another Stater Bros store. The return process was initially started, but a manager stopped it before it was completed. After that, we were given inconsistent information from different employees. We were first told the return could not be processed, then later told it could be handled, and then told again it could not be done due to "security reasons." At one point, we were also told the system had flagged the return and that my mother was allegedly "flagged as fraud," which was extremely upsetting and inappropriate given there was no wrongdoing and the receipt was never even properly reviewed. We were sent back and forth multiple times, including being told to return again on another day, despite already coming in person to resolve the issue. The communication between staff, management, and security was inconsistent and confusing throughout the entire interaction. Overall, the experience felt poorly handled, unprofessional, and distressing. We were not given a clear explanation, and the situation escalated unnecessarily instead of being resolved calmly and consistently. read more

I love shopping here and I never had tried their cakes. I went with tres leches and I'm just gonna say this one is not it. You're better off buying tres leches somewhere else lol you will regret buying it here. Trust me lol Other than that I love shopping here. Meat selection is great and the ambiance is perfect, not too many people. The workers are all friendly. It was just this cake lol it tasted nothing like tres leches read more

Jason, the cashier, provided great care and service to my sister and I. Glad to call this my neighborhood supermarket‍

I just had the most beautiful experience at Stater Brothers and felt called to leave a review. The cashier, Jason B, went above and beyond. I was struggling with a shopping basket full of heavy items (when I clearly should've grabbed a cart), and without hesitation, he stepped out from behind the register, went outside, and brought one in for me. He did it so effortlessly and so genuinely. Moments like this are the reason I've always loved Stater Brothers. The customer service is consistently amazing, and today was a perfect reminder of that. Highly recommend this location, and a big thank you to Jason B. for being incredible. read more

Plenty of parking, love that you can park so close to the entrance on cold days. They have an excellent seasonal floral section. The orchids are amazing and at a reasonable price. I pick up a new plant every once in a while, never had a problem with pests at all. This is my neighborhood grocery store with awesome employees always willing to help. read more

I love Stater Brothers. They have the best sushi! Other markets have sushi makers that look like they are being held against their will, but the sushi chef here seems to really enjoy his work. Ingredients are always fresh, and he had such a great attitude. The cakes are wonderful, the employees are nice. Sushi chefs, deli, bakery, meat/butchers all go above and beyond. Love their holiday Elf on the Shelf tradition. Amazing store brand hotdogs, cakes, and deli. Kiddo loves their little collection of mini plushies too. Place feels so wholesome! read more

OMG!!!! Here we are again! If I had the time to drive back and toss this at the butcher I totally would. Another trip for carne asada. And get the same issue. All this extra nasty fat and film I need to remove and toss out. There goes 1/2 pound of money in the garbage. read more

Recently I had an incident with the Deli manager, Laura H. Accused me of stealing 3 pieces of chicken. Was given the wrong pieces of chicken. The new employee(Nadia) did not know her product. After a heated discussion. The assistant store manager came out, Myra. Tried to side with both the employee and the deli manager. I told her I was going to report them to corporate. Said not to, because they were latinas and that would not look good for the store. I did report the incident. The area manager apologized. Said he would look into the matter. After, I spoke to the store manager, Adrian M. Said he was aware of the incident but sided with his employees and said there was nothing he could do, because of the union. Said I was calling him a bad manager. Well, I was told by the area manager there is something that can be done. Now when I go into the store, the assistant follows me as if I am going to steal. Maybe she look into out of code product and expires. I have been shopping at this store for over 40 years. I do not be or anyone else this way. This management team needs to be terminated or transfer out. read more

Love the variety of food items , very large store , I wish they had one in Los Angeles, California .

Hey Stater Bros!!!!! If you care about customer service, stop hiring all these young kids who know nothing about customer service. I've been in Downey for 25 years and can remember those days when Stater Bros. employees cared about customer service. Workers at the register are always too busy talking, baggers just throw everything in the bag without any thought to it. I once asked for a certain piece of chicken and the person behind the counter said," why does it matter?" I couldn't believe it. I go because we live one block away, but I hate going to this market!!!!! read more

My husband went today July 4th to get meat patties for our barbecue. When he got home he told me how the butcher was extremely upset and unpleasant because he asked for meat patties to be prepared. Why would a person work as a butcher if they are going to be upset to do their job !!!!! Why wouldn't he have hamburger patties ready during 4th of July !!?? Anyhow, if you want to be met with an unpleasant attitude when you ask for meat in the meat department go there . read more

The frosting has a little sparkle, the decorating is so well done. Give whoever decorated it a raise. I'm so happy with how it came out, thank you!!

Every Wednesday night my mom has a Bible study group at our house. Usually 13 to 20 people. She makes a full on dinner for them. My mom being Mexican usually she makes Mexican food. I am the one that helps her prepare for this event every week . I always want something different. Usually I'll pick some kind of Asian food . Today I came up with a Japanese vegetable curry. Me and my ideas. This mean I have to go all the way to Cerritos to find Japanese curry. Maybe not! I went on yelp search for my local stater brothers phone number clicked on it and called ! Amazing they answered and they happen to have it !!! Saved me so much time . I have only one request I would love a bigger selection in mushrooms something to think about . Thank you stater brothers you really are a five star grocery store. read more

Giving 4 stars out of 5 Clean stores and the cashiers are great. But they have no sense of urgency Every time I come at night or in the morning or even on the weekends they never have a sense of urgency too Clear the lines of people waiting to pay. It's so annoying when ur coming for one thing and have to wait in line for 10 mins. Not trying to sound like that guy , but if it's busy, you would think that the manager or shift supervisor would put their strongest people in front of the line to tackle the high traffic It's a great store. I'm not taking anything away from these people, but I came to the store for years and I just realized.... Im always waiting tooo damn long to leave this store read more

Nice remodel, clean store, fully stock but the prices are high to compensate for the remodel, I guess. Store associates are friendly and helpful but the lines are still slow, even with a "box boy" at every cashier. For example, a can of pumpkin at a competitor was $2.59, here it was $4.99. Nice store but this is my "desperate"ly need something store" only. read more

This Stater Brothers recently went through somewhat of a remodel. I've lived in Downey since 1998, and I've had my go of all the markets within our radius. I'm glad to see this market investing in itself. We do most of our shopping here, especially for the meat department. I'm one of those special people who loves liver, and that is not an item that's carried by many butchers. Surprisingly, I've had great luck finding it here, along with a variety of of other meats. Their in-house burger paddies are so good, and they have a great mix of sausages, and prepped ready to cook meats. Overall, this entire store is always well stocked. They have a cut-and-dice station that offers fresh ready to go veggies and fruits. Amazing idea! who likes to chop onions? Not me! Grab some pre-sliced veggies for a sauté, or pick up some fruit for your next gathering. The layout just works, I dont know how to explain it, but you have a sense of where everything is. I enjoy walking this market, and I love that for the most part they always seem to have a good ratio of cashiers to customers. Other places are pushing the self-check-out pretty hard. If I can make a small personal request to management, place fresh basil in your inventory. This is one those ingredients I find myself having to visit other markets for. Hats off to Stater Brothers in Downey on Firestone. Your efforts in store improvements and customer service do not go unnoticed. read more

Overall, this Stater Bros. is still a good option for groceries once in a while. Parking is plentiful. Clean, organized. Produce is mostly fresh. Meat & seafood counter can get SUPER busy, but as long as I pre-plan and pay attention to the sales I don't get frustrated. Good sales on wine. Low prices (not always, though) & no rewards card necessary. Employees are always nice & helpful, but I've been here enough times that they know be now. I prefer them all a hundred times over compared to the folks over at the nearby Albertson's. (I hate that store now.) BONUS: I love that they sell my birth state of New Mexico's Hatch chiles. read more

I love this store for two simple reasons, the ice cream and mozzarella! They have whole milk mozzarella that I love adding to my home made and frozen pizzas (like it better than Trader Joe's one). They have a huge selection of ice cream and they sell their own brand of it, which is great. They also have other brands such as Ben & Jerry's, Häagen-Dazs, and Tillamook. Pros: + Galbani: Whole Milk Mozzarella + Stater Bros: Banana Nuts & Fudge Ice Cream + Stater Bros: Rocky Road Ice Cream + Stater Bros: Rocky Spumoni Ice Cream + Stater Bros: Golden Vanilla Ice Cream + Mug Root Beer + Screamin' Sicilian Pizza Co: Holy Pepperoni (frozen) + Crav'n: Cheese Stuffed Crust Supreme Pizza (frozen) + Tortillaland Uncooked Tortillas + Dapple Pluot (delicious fruit, first time trying it) + Close late (11 PM) Cons: - Nothing that comes to mind Note: I add a little bit of extra cheese to the frozen pizzas read more

Bought a ribeye standing roast from the meat dept. Totally disappointed. The ribeye was mainly fat.

HUGE shoutout to Nancy A and Jason B.S for their service working the cash register! They went out of the way their way to help us find what we needed. Literally... ran to grab us the biggest turkey for us to take home.. we're definitely eating good on thanksgiving thanks to them! Sending all my love and gratitude for their energy tonight!

3 stars for the beautiful and well stocked stores. The lack of personality from some of the cashiers and box-boy/girls prevents the 5 star rating. I've been coming here for years!!!! Employees have always been friendly, pleasant and helpful. But this younger crowd they've got working here is pathetic. A hello or have a good day would be nice. And when packing our grocery bags go a little easy! I mean damn! If an 18 year old can barely lift the bag he/she packed to put in the cart imagine how if is for someone much older and not as strong?? Come on....talk to your people. Crack a fucken smile at least! Im starting to enjoy the drive to the new Whittier Stater Brothers where every employee is friendly. read more

Love the meat department. But I just checked out. Slightly busy. I asked the cashier clerk wiping down her register (with the light on) if she was open. She said no. I stay in line; and she proceeds to call the people at the rear of the line to her register (which wasn't open according to her). I had only 3 items. Milk, Orange Juice and a Roast. No excuses. Not cool. Shitty service. read more

What is the point of having an express line with a 15 item limit if you're not going to enforce it? I went in to buy 3 items and was stuck in the regular lines for 20 minutes because a lady with a FULL cart of groceries was holding up the express line. And there was a line of people behind her with 15 items or less? The cashier should of sent her to another line, even though everyone behind her in line was voicing their annoyance. read more

Best customer service in the meat department Jose M he's really helpful .By far the best meat and fresh .

This is my written standing ovation for the meat department at the Stater Bros at Rives & Firestone in Downey. Not only is their meat beautiful and high-quality, but a time of pre-packaging, no substitutes and "all we have is what's on display," to receive truly full and personalized service is a rare treat. Not long ago, I'd gone to a stand-alone butcher shop here in Downey looking for thick pork chops. All I saw were very thin ones so I asked if I could get a more meaty cut, only to be told, "No, those are the only kind we have." To be fair, I did leave rather than pushing the issue and requesting a custom cut. He might have done it if I'd asked. But frankly, if a butcher shop doesn't offer to actually butcher meat for their customers, I'm not going to waste my time there. In comparison, I arrived at Stater Bros today with a very specific request. Not only was my order filled without question or hesitation, the butcher was exceedingly pleasant and went out of his way to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I've dealt with this butcher before, a young man named John, and what I appreciate as much (or maybe more!) than his helpfulness and obvious extensive knowledge of his craft, is that it comes with absolutely zero mansplaining. I'm sure other women can attest to the sad truth that masculinity zones, like home centers, auto-parts stores and meat counters are often bastions of condescension and unnecessary advice. For instance, I once needed a battery for my car and the guy at the counter informed me that I'd have to remove the old battery before I could install the new one! "What? You mean I can't just load up on multiple batteries and create my own electric vehicle? Silly me and my inferior female brain!" So, if you're looking for something special for your next BBQ or soirée, or you just need fresh, quality meat for your everyday dinners, all served with a smile and individual attention, you can't go wrong at this Stater Bros. It's now officially my go-to stop for all my carnivorous cravings! read more
