This is the best grocery store in the area. Plenty of parking, great customer service, and fresh fruits and vegetables. The lines can get long sometimes, but they're always quick to open another register. A few highlights: - they are well staffed and lines move quickly - workers are super friendly and helpful - vegetables are fresh and don't go bad quickly - the California rolls from the sushi bar are actually pretty good - the meat counter has lots of good options This store does not have a self checkout option, but honestly I don't miss it at all. Grocery shopping here is always a calm and pleasant experience. read more

This is my first time at this location. Its larger than most other stores. Stater Bros. also did a great job with their store renovations. They have a Sushi section with a nice variety of items. There was someone making fruit bowls. I was impressed with all the departments like the meat, deli, produce, etc. The store is clean, well lit and inviting. All the employees are available to help you. They also have a Schools First ATM. read more

Shout out to the bagger guy in the express lane at 4:30PM today who knew exactly how to bag groceries and put the bread on top and arranged the stuff in my cooler bag just right. It's not much but it sure makes me happy. You'd think it's common sense, but many people who bag groceries don't know that light items go on top. To Johnny, who has surveys he comes up with every time I visit, in the express lane, where he poses a different question and shoppers put a tally mark next to what answer they select. The staff is diverse, friendly, competent. I work closer to another Stater Bros on Red Hill but still go to this one because I don't like surprises, know what to expect and get what I want here. Outstanding place to shop! Thank you read more

We ordered the fried chicken party tray bundle and a croissant sandwich party tray for our 4th of July party. The folks in the deli section absolutely knocked it out of the park. Total grand slam. The chicken was delicious, our guests were thrilled. Online ordering was a breeze, the food was ready exactly on time, the service (people) were awesome. Mac n cheese was stellar, coleslaw great, and the sandwiches were delectable. Unbelievable stuff. And all this with all the craziness of the 4th! We will ALWAYS use Staters for our events, and I'm sure many of our guests will now too. Kudos to Stater Bros on Kensington. All you guys deserve a raise! read more

FOOD SELECTION. I only needed a few items to buy on my way to a gathering outdoors. The frozen food section is located in the middle of the store. I bought several boxes of Stater Bros 5-Cheese Texas Toast in the frozen foods section. It was grilled with burgers and it was delicious! The meat department, fruit and vegetable sections were well-stocked with products. Many of the prices were reasonably competitive, especially if the product was on sale in the store. SERVICE. I needed lean ground sirloin for burgers and requested assistance from the meat department. The meat staff provided me with ground sirloin (93% lean/7% fat). The ground sirloin looked fresh and the flavor was delicious! Thank you very much to the friendly meat staff for carefully packaging up the ground sirloin for use on a grill at a gathering outdoors. Great customer service! AMBIANCE. This Stater Bros Market is located in a large shopping center with on-site parking. It is very clean and spacious, with good overhead lighting and visible displays identifying different sections in the store (e.g., the meat and produce sections). The food products were well-stocked and neatly labeled in each shopping aisle. The shopping aisles were wide, well-maintained and clean. Everything was well-organized and easy to find in the store. read more

This is the best grocery store in the area. I am an early shopper 6:00a. Usually shop for work lots of birthday cakes and flowers for work anniversaries. And when I do shop for myself I will drive the distance even if I do live 5 minutes from the Edinger/Fairview store. Why the best customer service. From Eva and Roxy the cashiers. To Art who assists with the bagging (always puts a smile on my face) If I could remember everyone's name I would mention them all. They all deserve to be mentioned. It's whoever is working at 6:00a. read more

I asked an employee where the an item was and they directed me to "isle 7" and it turned out it was the wrong isle. Why tell me the wrong isle, if you don't know!!! Dont just say it to get me off your back... I was in a time crunch. Then I asked another employee walking by, named Carla, and she took the time to show me where the item I was looking for. I was really appreciative and she was sweet about it! Thanks Carla ! read more

Ashlyn the "manager" was not helpful at all. I am visiting from Florida and I tried to purchase alcohol and my ID was not scanning and she refused to sell me alcohol while I am literally carrying a REAL ID from Florida.. I asked to speak to someone higher than her because it's ridiculous that your machine doesn't scan my ID and she refused to let me speak to someone higher while saying that she's the manager. Not only she was useless in solving the issue but she was also implying that my ID is fake? Great service :) read more

Great prices, clean store with amazing staff. Jo and Eva make the chore of groceries shopping every day fun with their helpfulness. We are fortunate to have a good local grocery store near home! read more

Love the organized of the store it's always clean the staff always so nice and friendly

Excellent selections, great prices, friendly service. Clean store with plenty of organic items. The T Bone steaks are fantastic and chicken is fresh and priced well. Laurie helped tremendously with terrific service on packing & bringing out my groceries to help! Highly recommend this location for groceries. read more

We have been shopping here for a while now and we love it! Stater Brothers is clean, reasonably priced, and keeps in stock a good variety of all the things we shop for when its grocery day heh. Their Butchers are fantastic and by chance this weekend when we stopped by they had a Surf and Turf event going - I got me a 1lb Lobster tail that they steamed and seasoned for me - took about 15 minutes to do right and it came out delicious - now grant the lobster was a little bit on the well done side BUT being seafood they have to cook it to a safe internal temp - and overall it was great just added a bit of melted butter for a knock out meal. Thank you Stater Brothers! read more

Hands down my fav stater brothers in central OC. The staff is great and the store is always nice and clean. I've never had any problems and been coming here since they opened. read more

First timer from out of town. The store was clean and setup well. Great selection in every department. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I'll be returning when I visit again. read more

Horrible service. I was treated terribly by a cashier named Michael. I'm really disgusted by the whole experience and he made me feel very uncomfortable. He was also rude to my friend who was with me. This place needs employees with better customer service skills and professionalism. read more

This is a fantastic Staters location! I visit frequently, and they always seem to have exactly what I need.

The staff at the bakery is always so helpful and friendly. We come here at least once a month to order our monthly birthday cakes. The place is always clean and well organized. Suggest visiting and ordering their pistachio cake, it's quite yummy. Their deli section and premade salads are also good for a quick bite. read more

We had a last minute birthday bbq dinner for our granddaughter and we needed a cake. I called SB the previous night at 8:30 pm. Ricardo answered and assured us it would be ready by 9 am the following day. It was completely perfect!!! Thank you SB bakery did a job well done. Thank you!!!! read more

Huge thanks to Ricardo for making my Stater Bros experience fantastic! His top-notch service, especially when helping me with a liquor purchase, was impressive.

This Stater Bros. location on Kensington Drive in Tustin always impresses me with its super fresh groceries--better than other Stater Bros. I've visited. The curbside pickup service is quick and efficient, and my recent experience was made even better thanks to Anthony W. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and made the whole process seamless. I really appreciated his great attitude and speedy service. Highly recommend this store and its amazing staff! read more

Selection of food and goods is ok. The meat (particularly the beef) is not worth it. Chicken is fine. Ribs are ok too. Ground beef no problem. But the cuts are not up to par. There are better options. The people are fantastic! read more

I visit this store once a week. It's very spacious, super clean, and very easy to find what you want. It's better than any of the supermarkets in Irvine, which is where I live. Their meat department is the best! Great selection and great prices. And always someone there to cut meat as you would want it. I always have them cut prime rib into 3/4" thick steaks, along with buying their fresh 80/20 ground beef. read more

I love this Stater Bros! I drive all the way to this one because of the cleanliness and impeccable customer service in the Meat department. Every single team member is very nice, accommodating to my butchery needs and just overall a delight to talk to. The store layout, the organization and helpfulness from every employee is superb. My definite go-to place for ordering prime rib roasts for the holidays. Thank you Stater Bros! read more

DO NOT EVER ORDER A CAKE HERE. I placed my over 11/11 and was assured my order would be ready on 11/28 @ 9am. I get there and they tell me they don't have an order for me. I show my copy of the order form and then they tell they didn't make my order because the form was misplaced. Your bakery SUCKS. Thanks so much for ruining a birthday! read more

Customer service was good. Products very organized and clean store. I really like to come to Stater Bros in this location.

This review is overdue and I apologize, but this review goes to Myra in the bakery department. I came in on 12/20 looking for a cake for my niece's 4th birthday. I was a little stressed because it was last minute and J wanted to get the perfect little cake for her that she can remember. I asked a few girls in the bakery dept and they led me to Myra! I told her exactly what I was looking for and she perfected it! My niece loves unicorns and she made me the cutest mini unicorn cake with the cutest colors and her name on it. I appreciate Myra's efforts to make sure I was happy in such a short notice. She was patient and super friendly! Thank you Myra for making my baby's 4th birthday a great one! She loved the cake! :) read more

Stater Bros. Markets - Soo cute! - Grocery Near Me - Tustin, California

Growing up, I was never a fan of the Stater Bros in my hometown of Upland or the dozens I have encountered until I came to THIS Stater Bros. This location is always clean, well stocked with fresh produce and proteins, and full of friendly helpful staff members. I have been coming here for over a year when I moved back into the area, and my experiences here have always been positive and convenient. Prior to Covid-19, I have purchased treats from their bakery department for my coworkers on birthdays, holidays and just spontaneously. On New Years Eve, I was able to get my snacks here to ring in the New Year 2020: a variety of cut fruits, crackers, meat and cheese snack tray and ice cream. I bought a Haagen-Daaz Crispy Trio Layers Coffee and Vanilla ice cream for myself, and a Ben and Jerrys Chunky Monkey for my boothang at the time. Mhmmm... should have known 2020 was cursed... Anyways, pass forward to the beginning of Covid-19 chaos when the masses were panic to the extent of empty shelves, no meats, no produce... I am sure everyone knows what I am talking about. Well, props to the manager to who runs this store, because I still had a delightful experience shopping here in the midst of the chaos. I was actually able to get groceries for my family where they were experiencing a more scarce scenario. The one thing this location did better than any other grocery store I went to during the time period was the BUTCHERY! Yes, there were less meats on the shelves, but the sweet nice hardworking staff in the meats section were chopping away and prepping more meats constantly. Pass forward a few more weeks into the chaos. Most food items stabilized. The paper goods are still scarce, understandable. Lines are marked throughout the store, staff is constantly cleaning. A plastic layer is over the credit card machines so germs aren't in the cracks, as plastic is easier to wipe down or replace periodically. I can definitely see the efforts the store made to keep their patrons as safe as possible. Extra Extra EXTRA shout out to Michael and Eric who gave me above and beyond service. They were so great I said I had to shout out, and even made sure no one in the store had the same names as they do. I was in the store because my boss's boss wanted a Virtual Happy Hour and I had NO ALCOHOL in the house. I know, surprising, right? Well I was looking for those BJ Strawberry Wine Coolers and I walked in circles when Michael and Eric worked as a team to really help me search for these glass bottles. Well, guess what, the company REPACKAGED their brand INTO CANS!! Long story somewhat shorter, they helped me find what I needed.... and I also grabbed Kahlua White Russians while I was there. Cheers!!!! During these tough times, the smallest gestures are so nice. I felt bad and insisted I didn't need help but their team made sure I got what I came in for. It is these positive moments that will keep me coming back here for my groceries. Appreciate all of the essential workers out there who are keeping us all fed and safe!! Keep up the great work :) read more

I love this place, it has the best deals, it's clean, has a wide variety of food and some of the friendliest workers but one worker bothered me. It's the short lady with braces that turned me off. She made a big deal out of me getting my groceries and not only held up the line, but announced that I didn't have enough money in my bank account. This was embarrassing, I basically left my cart and went home after she did this. I haven't been back since. read more

Love this location. I probably have 3 other stores I could go to closer to home, but this one is best. (Another older Staters recently closed also). This store is nice and spacious. I don't feel like I'm sitting on the 405 in traffic while going down the aisles. Store is always clean. What I really like is that it's never crowded at the times I like to go (evenings). I like that it has a sushi bar? Not really a bar but they make fresh rolls and such that you can eat at the in store cafe area. I almost get a Whole Foods vibe from this store. Except I don't have to pay $20 bucks for a pack of unicorn meat hot dogs. lol read more

I've always liked shopping at stater brothers so I was excited about this store being so close to my house. Unfortunately, I now only shop there if I have to because I sometimes dread it. I regularly shop at 2 or 3 SB locations. I don't know what it is but I notice that the vibe is similar in their stores. Many (not all) employees are rude; they blatantly bad mouth or make fun of customers as they leave the store. I see other reviews about cashiers who don't say a word as they're checking orders. This is very true. It happens almost every time I shop at the Tustin store, especially if it's in the afternoon. Last week, I encountered one such cashier. The only thing that was said to me was "put your card in again". When the transaction completed he tore off the receipt and handed it to me briefly staring at me but not saying a word. It's as if he was irritated that the card terminal glitch was my fault. I'm giving 3 stars because I do like the store. It's always clean; I find what I need; and the produce consistently looks good. read more

This morning a trip to the store turned out to be unkind to me and I feel very bad all day because the cashier with his look, his attitude and behavior killed me for the whole day, it seems he didn't say anything with words. It was such a very rude cold speech he has such a look. Well, that he divides by skin color, or what? I don't know, these are my guesses, of course, but, please, the management of this store. Go through the conversation, How to communicate with people. Maybe this cashier has his own personal is not critical to my ethnicity. But this should not concern society. But the store itself is very nice, and this happened to me for the first time this morning, and the employees are very nice and polite and the store is in very good condition, the service of the products is absolutely top notch. read more

wow...I did not feel safe at this store. Half the people in masks and half not. How do they know if the guests at the store are vaccinated? They were not checking. Even the managers were not in masks....they should set a better example. wtf. I looked this up because I asked the cashiers why there were so many people not in masks. They said they were following CDC guidelines...hmmm I think not. read more

We had a terrible experience with LIZ in the bakery. We came in asking for a simple two tier cake...she said no to everything we asked her to do. We had a picture printed out and know she can't use fondant for the design so we said we were fine with buttercream and we wanted daisies and sunflowers she said she can only do rosettes, asked for the cake to be blue for gender reveal she said no, I asked for another baker/cake decorator to take my order and she says " I have 20 years of experience and the other girl Jessica doesn't have any experience!" Well with 20 years of experience under her belt she seems to be very incapable of doing anything but rossetes. I asked for manger she said the manger is out for two week vacation...very convenient. So I spoke to another store manger and she agreed that Liz is being unreasonable and will get back to us. So we shall see. read more

This is the result of a cake l ordered from the Stater brothers bakery . When ordering the cake l wrote down that this cake was for my wife and l wanted it to look like the cake they had on display . The cake pictured below looks like it has an allergic reaction and is breaking out in hives. In hindsight l should not have paid for this cake and gone to another bakery . When l picked it up they didn't even have a lid for the cake box. The attendant at the bakery was indifferent when l asked her what she's thought of the cake. The cashier at the front desk showed exceptional customer service and offered to get a manager , l was crunched for time and couldn't remain. Summing up. Shame on The Stater brothers bakery . Now I'm in the dog house just where this cake deserves to be. read more
