The cashiers are the best here. So nice and friendly. When I need a burrito at 11 at night, the kind I microwave and pay less than a dollar for, the lady cashier is the one who puts a smile on my face. I'll say this though. I appreciate that you're in the city and can still give me plastic grocery bags, but I don't need five bags to carry the three things I bought. C'mon guys read more

This is my local vons and I can not shop here because no matter what time of day I go the wait is insane .. Who wants to wait in line for 23 minutes? Come on management stop trying to save labor and open another register! Lost my business i go to the local mar vista market now. read more

I actually really like this store a lot. The cashiers and workers are always super friendly and helpful. The pricing is great, especially with my Vons discounts and the added coupons through my Vons app. I always save money when I go here! The only problem I've come across is the extremely long lines on certain nights. Not sure if they are short staffed but it can get a bit ridiculous. However, they do move relatively quickly but I've learned to just avoid going around those hours so I don't have to wait in those lines. Usually, though, it is a pleasant experience shopping there. The store is orderly, clean, and welcoming. :) read more

I love this VONS! It's my go-to whenever I stay in Culver - reasonable prices and a ridiculous bakery section.

I worked in grocery stores all through high school and college in just about every department in the store. One thing I know is that if you can smell rotten fish when you get near the meat counter, the workers are not doing a satisfactory job cleaning the fish case and the equipment. Every single time I walk in the store, I can smell rotten fish, sometimes right as I enter the building. It has been so unbearable on a few occasions that I have turned around and walked out of the store. I have brought this issue - as well as the consistently crazy long lines - up to the manager on duty a few times, and I've even contacted the Von's corporate office, but nothing has changed. Nothing ever changes. The store still stinks and the lines are still long. I only visit this store when I have other errands I'm running in that area. This Von's is the closest to my house. Usually, I drive twice the distance to the Pavillion's at Sepulveda and Jefferson - same parent company but the store doesn't stink. read more

Management here is awful. Employees are rude and slow. Lines are always long. Meat department is super sketchy, deli is all but abandoned. It's good for chips, and produce is OK, nothing special. Decent alcohol selection and prices. But the employees and management make most visits just a depressing experience. read more

I really like the cashiers at this vons, however they seem to have a problem with understaffing of baggers. Last time I was there I had to bag my items myself which wasn't a problem; but is why they received 4 stars instead of 5 read more

I went to get a gallon of milk, and the store was in the best shape I've ever seen. I haven't been shopping in here for a long time. I asked Maria to speak to the manager, Annette was her name, I thanked her for the great job on improving the appearance of the store. I told her I will be back now that I know there's someone in charge that cares. read more

Vons - Good pies at vons - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This store has a fantastic staff, Manager is always walking around on floor and very helpful and friendly, I don't under stand people and there unpatient ways. Today 5 checkstand s open 2 people in every line, and people are getting impatient, this is LA people, you can't go anywhere and expect not to have some wait, it's not the end of the world.. read more

See all

It takes a lot to get me to the one star level, but this place is pure $#it on a whole different planet. This place is always under stocked and they never carry the usual basic items you can find at any other vons or Ralph's, The prices are high, the staff is mostly nice although there are actually a few of the cashiers that are complete scum bags and will do unprofessional things plus make remarks that will get your blood pumping. But for the most part the workers seem cool and I feel really sorry that they have to work for a store with such poor departmental management with lack luster skills. Their beer selection looks as if a elderly uneducated fan of Natural Lite or Old Milwaukee and Box wine selected all the beers they sell. As a bartender I am highly offended by their craft beer selection in the 2017 era...while being located in such a savvy neighborhood....they carry only about 3 IPA's and a few other brands rather then bud Miller PBR and they even lack at Mexican beer selection...in LA!! Lol lol... they suck at that for sure. Also the meat department!!!! From the meat department to wine and beer and veggies/fruit.... who ever has any say so in the supply / ordering of products SUCKS AND FAILED FOR YEEEEEARS!! Nasty ugly cuts of meat from unskilled butchers , with the seafood section looking like it's rotten fish and crabs...for quite a few years it even stunk like crap at the seafood service station...gross.. the general manager must be blind and deaf and high on drugs to actually walk into that place and not notice that they are under serving their community. They are Giving the community a bullish!+ place to shop. This place is a good 10 years behind. Centinela vons is a embarrassment to Mar Vista Venice Culver City and LA as a whole. Step it up!!!! The ONLY reason I ever step foot in that place is because sometimes the wine sales are great and because I have no choice because it's convenient and close to home. I'm sure that's most people's reasons as well. Oh and yeah.... Looooong lines at anytime of the day..... place is garbage. I wish I could say sorry but I'm not, THIS store is. read more

Been waiting here a long long time in long lines and most of the registers are closed. A terrible beeping sound has been going for a very long time and nobody is doing anything. Cashier is telling stories and has no urgency to shorten the line. Sucks! read more

Vons advertises 3s a crowd and here, there are signs everywhere that say this yet I'm in line with 10 people and thus is the only line open. Hmm read more

Standing halfway down the pet food isle waiting to check out because this store is so poorly staffed and managed. They have 3 lanes open with hundreds of people waiting. Open some more lanes!!! read more

Too many stories and not enough space to write about. But, as an example, yesterday I had to tell the supervisor that all their farmer John uncured bacon expired a week ago. I mean not in a day or so, but at least seven days ago. This is not unusual as I have learned. Long lines, the worst ever customer service from the supervisors. I honestly think no one in that stores cares one little bit. Sad because it's the neighborhood store. read more

Try the Hatch chili guacamole. It just came out last week. It is so good. It's a bit spicy but not too much. The Hatch chiles give it a great flavor. Von's makes their guacamole fresh every day. I can't get enough of this. I took it to work and the staff went crazy over it. Its in a case right when you walk in, although the last two times they were out. If you ask at the help counter they seem to have it in the back and will get it for you. I highly recommend it! read more

Currently standing in a line of 12 people waiting to be checked out. Only 1 other lane open. Pretty weak. Obviously I have time to write this review while I wait. Otherwise this seems like your standard vons. read more

I wish I could give this store negative stars. Ideally this grocery store would go out of business. I live in the area and each time I shop here I feel like I'm being punished for not wanting to fight traffic in Culver City. That ends tonight. I have had an array of terrible shopping experiences here- so bad in fact- if I need a certain amount of produce for a meal I will make a point buy extra because so I still have enough left when I cut off any rotten parts. A few hours ago I purchased prepackaged zucchini and squash thankfully I was cutting down the vegetables down further ---- I when I went to pick off what I assumed was dirt I pulled a small piece of metal wire OUT of a zucchini slice. Only the tip of the metal piece was showing. I continued to cut through the vegetables and found a SECOND metal piece in another piece of vegetable. Metal. Do yourself a favor and battle the traffic to literally any other store. read more

This Vons location is the closest grocery store in my immediate neighborhood, but I'll go out of my way to visit better. The biggest problem this grocery store has is that there are NEVER enough checkers. They could give the community another 4-10 jobs at least, by putting more employees on the checkstands. The employees that they do have are exceptional!! Fast, efficient, smiling, great customer service and they've remembered me as a regular at least the last five years. However, every time I do have to run and grab something "quick" and don't take the time to drive another 5 min to Albertsons, I'll pick up my items in an efficient amount of time, I will be able to find those items as their selection is usually above average and the products and store seem clean - however upon checking out, with anything from trash bags to bread - I'm certain to wait in line at least 5 (at absolute best) to 20 minutes to check out. I hope someone at this store reads the reviews here and people in the community of Mar Vista/Culver City, demand that this store be able to offer some jobs to the neighborhood and increase customer value at the same time by offering enough checkers. Rant over!! Thanks to current Vons employees who do a great job despite angry customers who've waited in line for a long, long time! :P read more

I've shopped at many grocery stores throughout the entire LA area, and this is (by far) the WORST store of all. Poor service, never enough cashiers, and every single checkout lane has a sign that reads "express". The meat department stinks, and they're always out of things. I bring in about 24 cans to recycle once in awhile, and every time they tell me "we don't have enough people to help you right now". HUH? It's also in a bad neighborhood, and I've seen 2 big fights right outside their door! Derelicts everywhere. It also helps if you speak Spanish because you feel like you're in Tijuana when you shop there. Do yourself a favor, and go up the street to the Marina Del Rey area to Albertson's, Gelson's, or Pavilions (also owned by Von's but a much better store). Corporate Von's needs to wake up and realize what a mess they have here! read more

Mold on the "fresh" strawberries, and some black stuff eating away at the green beans.

This store is medium size with a good variety of items at a fair price. Just like Ralph's or albertsons, you have to shop for the ad items to really save money. The parking lot is medium sized and there's a rite aid on the other end of the center. The store is fairly clean and the lighting is medium also. There's usually only two check stands opened on Saturday mornings, but the lines aren't that slow. I remember working at this store when it was thriftimart, then changed to Safeway and then Von's. It's still a good grocery store and convenient for those people living in the mar vistA, culver city area who don't want to travel far away to the other grocery stores. You can use your cons club card or phone number to get additional savings. Not sure what changes are going to happen since some corporation bought Von's and albertsons. They'll probably run them as separate companies for a while. read more

This store has lost its original luster. I go in at lunch time to get a sandwich and there is an expected line which I have no problem with, but there is also a line for the other side and two employees. Now...if one is handling one side the other should be handling the other. Why does the sandwich chick leave 2 customers in line to go help the other lady on the other side? And then say, "Let me help her and I'll be right back" and doesn't come back? The person ahead of me leaves the line and I'm just standing there waiting. I ask the manager to get someone else so they can cover all areas and she walks over there, talks to them and says I have to wait until all of those people are helped. When I ask why she just said that they were going to finish with all of those first even though I was in line before them. What is the use of having two people back there if they are only going to handle one side at a time. My suggestion is to get numbers so there won't be any confusion on their parts. Won't be coming here for anything anytime soon. read more

Poor customer service. This place just sucks. Just go to other grocery stores in the area and you'll actually get your grocery shopping done. read more

Absolutely positively the worst Vons in the entire brand! Shame on the Vons brand for letting this store continue to run so poorly!

This is the worst grocery store ever. I live 1 block away and make a point of NEVER coming here. The lines are outrageous all day long. They never seem to make an effort to have more people on staff to open more registers. I have never seen more than 3 open at a time. It's the worst worst worst. The only nice thing I can say is that the employees are friendly when you finally get ready to pay, so props to them for putting up with the chaos. People need to stop coming here so they have to close up shop and put in a better grocery store in its place. read more

The store in general is good, and clean its just the employees. The Bag boy as he was bagging my groceries mocked some of the stuff I bought with another co worker, "looking at the apple juice" tried to whisper to his buddy the cashier, what no bottle too?" And then picked up the tea and asked me " why did you buy this crap" because its variety"? I'm glad the cashier ignored him, If he wasn't bagging my groceries I would have done the same. But then again It's just the bag boy, perhaps they should just tell them to keep their comments to themselves. read more

I cannot understand how this particular Vons is allowed to carry the Vons name. It is absolutely the worst grocery Vons I have ever walked into. In every category. Lack of general stock, low quality and low inventory, the entire store is dingy, they never have more than 2 open checkout lines, and the checkout lines will always have at least 8 people in line. Good luck finding someone to help you in the deli or the meat counter. Finally, It is always difficult to park your car, because the parking lot is always filled with shopping carts. I wish I could say something positive, but I cannot say 1 good thing about this particular Vons! There are 2 Pavilions within a mile or 2 of this Vons. I highly recommend driving the extra mile or 2 to save yourself from dealing with this place! This Vons is less than a block from my home. I refuse to shop at this store anymore. Unfortunately, it is worth driving a few extra miles to Pavillions to avoid the frustration this place is guaranteed to induce! read more
