WinCo Foods, for the people, by the people. This location is great and is a true mirror of the community in which it sits. The service and convenience have only been amplified by their recent system upgrades, allowing customers to pay via tap to pay, Apple Pay and other methods. (They don't accept credit cards but that's ok). WinCo promises great prices that are only surpassed by greater customer service. On Saturday nights the vibe in the store is giving 5am Black Friday at Best Buy. But this location is open 24hrs a day. So at 5:30am on any given week day, the atmosphere is very calm, relaxed, almost peaceful! Morning regulars come in and greet cashiers who have been seeing their faces for years. This is not a sprouts, this is not a Whole Foods, it's not an Albertsons or a Publix. This is WinCo, your "local" grocery store. read more

Quick trip to Winco just needed a few grocery items and some of their fresh produce. Store was busy but what grocery store isn't 3 days before Christmas. All the produce looked great super prices compared to others. I was done shopping in 20 minutes a short 5 minute wait in line Julien checked me out he was busy efficient friendly great guy . Thanks WinCo I always save when I shop here read more

I been here once since my kids wanted to come here . So here we go again this month again. Anyways the store is very clean and they have various candies dog food snacks way in the back. Plus you can make or grind your own peanut butter which is nice. Anyways I got to the register and I noticed the cashier talking to the customer in front of me. When it came to my turn she asked if it was ok to scan a buy a drink for herself since her mouth is dry. I said of course no worries, she proceeded to talk to me about the store and the coupons and how she enjoys working at Winco. I asked her how long she had been employed since spike very highly of the store and the prices. She said 6 months I said I can tell you love what you do. Melanie was her name very nice friendly cashier. I just wanted to say Thank you I had a rough day today and just speaking to you. You made my day a little special. read more

Winco is our go to store for groceries. Depending when and what time i go it might be crazy busy or not. I noticed the produce section is always busy and people sure like to take their time in that section. We love their meat department. Sometimes they have really great deals on their steaks and pork chops and chicken. We already remember where everything is so when we do go some place new, it's weird to us. I usually get everything i need from Winco except for a few items I like to get in bulk from Sam's club such as my coffee creamers, milk and eggs. But Winco is a great place for groceries. I think they're very clean and organized. Sometimes the lines to pay are ridiculous but staff is usually great when you're up there. read more

I have great luck finding what I need here. Maybe too much! My last visit I didn't get a cart because I only needed a couple things. Well, that was a mistake, I ended up trying to juggle like ten items. Store was clean and stocked. I love all the bins of yummy items you can determined for yourself how much you need. I love this location on Panama because I can stop by on the way to the freeway heading home. 5/31/25 read more

No matter what it's packed. Don't even think about morning shopping they are blocking every aisle but today they had multiple DOGS in the store I get it service animals...no. These were not and while getting meat and chicken in the deli this couple gets in line with TWO dogs I thought hmm never really see animals in the grocery store kinda gross but whatever until they started barking like crazy at ANOTHER dog in the store. This was just really gross to see in a grocery store read more

It's 12:09 with literally about 50 people on line with only two registers open. These cashiers are OVERWORKED! Luckily even through the CHAOS Andre rang me up quickly and with a smile on his face. I know damn well winco makes money. No reason to have 50 stockers all over the store in the way, while the cashiers are literally drowning. DO BETTER read more

When we were with Daniella the cashier at WinCo she kept throwing our stuff with a bad attitude and she was very rude and I think you should have a conversation with her and talk about how she shouldn't have that attitude because you guys might lose customers like you lost us read more

Bulk Bins galore! When I first walked in, it was giving me food4less vibes, an industrial style warehouse store with racks full of bargain items. But, as I looked closer, I realized they sold some great products. They carried my favorite Slap Ya Mama seasoning in a jumbo sized container for half the price you'd find it on Amazon. They had Abuelita hot chocolate (perfect for your walks through the Christmas lights in the neighborhood) again at a great price. While the store has a wide variety of products from canned goods to produce to cosmetics to party supplies, we had our eyes on the bulk bins! This may seem random but we were in search of unsalted peanuts and lots of them to take to the park to feed the squirrel (shoutout: Panorama Park). The bin was pretty empty, but they have staff all throughout the store and we were quickly helped by one of the employees that was on his way to refill it. We were able to walk away with our 6 pounds of peanuts for just around $10- bargain! One thing I appreciated was that the employee noticed someone grabbing an item with their hands and immediately corrected the behavior. Why people do this is beyond me (gross!) but I appreciated that the employees weren't afraid to step in and say something. They have a self check out area. However, the credit card machines can be a little finicky at times so have some cash just in case. read more

The store itself is fine, nothing special. The prices have doubled and tripled the past 5 years. They got all the essentials but not a whole lot of else outside the bulk dry goods. The meat department isn't the best quality C-. The produce I'd give a C+/B-. Selection of groceries gets a solid B. Cashiers get an A- from me. Those people work very hard and I respect that. What brings this review down is the people who frequent this place. A lot of low class people shop here and bring their ill mannered attitudes. It's the Walmart/Costco "types" who live paycheck to paycheck and/or collect welfare. They have no manners and don't care about anyone but themselves. Many times they will cuss random people out for trying to simply pass by. The produce department is littered with people touching all the produce and have no idea what they're doing as far as picking produce. None of these people have any expertise in picking the produce but think somehow they know what they're doing. Then you go out into the aisles and you got people with no self awareness blocking the entire lane. If you ask to pass by some people will give you major attitude. I see fights in the parking lot regularly out here. Very sketchy people in the parking lot going car to car looking for items to steal. Lots of ghetto people are coming into this store from the new Section 8 apartments built nearby. If you have to enter this store shop at night first off. after 8pm but before 10pm when all the cashiers leave for the night. Also do not come into here when food stamps get paid out because it is a zoo. I will gladly pay a little extra not to shop at WinCo when I can to avoid the chaos that this place is read more

I've only shopped at Winco a few times. I like their produce. They have good prices on a lot of items. I also like the check out lines. They have many open. And you get out quickly. The only thing that I don't like,is the automated conveyer belt. Not sufficient for loading my groceries. Depends on how items are placed on the belt. read more

This winco has the worst meat. Their prices are good, but the cuts on the meat is disgusting. I will never buy meat here again. Absolutely the worst in the valley. read more

Extremely bad service Rebecca D is the worse cashier of all time. I spend so much money here but her service makes me wanna just go else where. I never want to encounter with a cashier as rude as her super races also. I hope the assistant manager Alex Couches her on her service when I come to loyal or any customer at that read more

While Bakersfield doesn't have many stand out businesses, this employee-owned grocery store chain is an exception. The selection is impressive, the prices are excellent and the fact that they're open 24/7 makes them even better. *No credit cards accepted read more

I have been a WinCo customer for seven years. I have purchased cottage cheese from Costco until a year ago it tasted horrible. The cottage cheese from WinCo is perfect until a month ago. It appears to be watered down. It has the consistancy of soup. Shrinkflation? Come on, make it correctly! read more

The employees at this establishment are incredibly respectful, and the majority of the food items are affordably priced with exceptional service. The staff is always attentive and willing to help when needed, and the store is impressively clean. read more

I do not make it to this side of town often. But when Yelp duty calls (aka Yelp Elite Event prep) I made it a point to seek out this store. We recently hosted a Yelp Elite Event at Wind Wolves Preserve. And with icy cold paleta's in tow we needed dry ice - and stat! After picking up the cart at Camino we headed right around the corner to this WinCo and bought a bag of dry ice. When I tell you that this small bag kept 50 paleta's icy cold for over 24 hours I mean it! Don't mess around with ice when it's Bakersfield hot. Go straight to dry ice (and heed all necessary precautions of course). With supplies in tow we were in and out in less than 15 minutes. This WinCo is convenient, clean and easy on the wallet. Just remember they only take cash and debit - so that corporate card will have to sit it out. Overall a nice addition to the growing South of Bakersfield! read more

WinCo Foods - Ripple chips - Grocery Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I love the selection of products Winco has because they always have what I need but the customer service needs a lot of improvement especially the way the employees talk because a lot of the time the workers have a very sour attitude that's one thing that keeps me from shopping at Winco regularly. I also wish Winco would expand their payment options and start accepting Apple Pay because it's a form of debit payment but Winco only allows physical debit cards or cash because of a customer happens to leave their wallet at home and all they have with them is Apple pay on their phone then shopping at Winco your SOL because Winco accepts no form of tap payments. read more

This grocery store is my go to spot. The thing I enjoy about this store is their selection of produce. There always seems to be some new produce that we have been talking about or have wanted to try. Most recently, they have bitter melon. I am always looking at recipes while walking through the store because of some new veg that they have. This spot is our every week spot. Winco has a lot of great deals and the price point is what keeps us coming back. Majority of our shopping is done here. They have a great selection of everything there. This can always find the cut of meat that you are looking for. If you are not sure what to make for dinner, just walk around the store and you will find something. It will either be from their vast selection of product or some premade meals that they have All in all, this is a must stop for your grocery shopping. Yes, you can find some thing for cheaper elsewhere but a vast majority of their items are the best bang for your Buck. read more

Impressed with Josh in the service deli. He shaved the ham I ordered without any gripe! He actually was very kind about it and that's unusual for a deli these days. In the middle he also managed to serve someone up some chicken and help a fellow employee take an order. So great job there Josh. Then at the checkout the lines were terribly long yet my cashier Sara was also a rockstar. I watched her work hard to move her line though she has braces on both hands. You could see her persevere as she carefully maneuvered each item with two hands to scan and not to cause injury. Smart girl, kind and hard working. Hope she's appreciated too! read more

This store is in a good location with many stores in the parking lot. Theres plenty of parking, the store is well stocked, cheap prices, and very clean. You can also get money orders at the front of the store. I've never had any issues here, but cash only or ATM, no credit cards accepted. This location is usually packed with shoppers so plan accordingly. read more

Update your POS! It's outdated and slow. Every time I shop here there is always a problem.

This pains me to write this review because I have tried to support winco because they are employee owned. Every year since this location has opened I have supported them and have used them to supply the food that I buy to create 1,000 food baskets for needy families at Christmas. I come in early every year and write out every item that I need as well as possible substitutes. I buy around 20,000 dollars in one shopping trip. Not a drop in the bucket to a store like that, but it's something. I try to support local companies especially in a time like this. All I do is I go in and they order the food for me. It arrives in a couple of days and I have a team of guys go and pick it up from Winco early in the morning when they are not busy. I make it as easy as possible, and every year the lower level employees give me trouble. They just don't like the extra work. The store manager loves me, because they appreciate the jump in sales for little work. This year I went in to just buy a few items at once. I just had a box boy give me 5 cases of stuffing, brownie mix, spaghetti sauce, and corn. It was all packed in the carts and easily labeled as such. The same man who gives me trouble every year, (he's a cashier and the customer service clerk- I won't put his name down) didn't want to help us. The manager on duty was ok with our order, but he at first refused to check us out. Also, every morning when I come and pick up the food that I bought, I have to bring my own help with my own equipment, because the workers just don't want to help. Again; I get the fact that big orders suck. But I get no discount at all, so if you want my money to make your goals, you should be willing to help me. Needless to say we didn't make our large purchase here this year, and will not in the future. read more

Stopped in on Super Bowl Sunday and the place was as packed as you'd expect, but I was able to get through the aisles and line pretty quickly. Great prices, some times dollars lower on name brand products than other large chain stores. I do wish they had a location more Central. Right now the drive to either Panama or Coffee location is quite a trek from my home, so I only really go when I need a week or more worth of groceries. read more

First off, this location is a lot nicer than the one on Coffee Rd. The store was clean and well stocked, and not very busy for being the first of the month. I used the self check out and that's where things went a little down hill. The employee working that area with the pink stripes in her hair blocked customers from accessing the open terminals b/c she was too busy chit chatting with a friend who was at the first terminal to the right. She was too busy doing that to help others or direct traffic to open registers. She needs some training, but other than her the other staff was fine. read more

WinCo is probably my favorite grocery store to shop at in Bakersfield. I used to visit the other WinCo all the time, but since this one has been up and running, this is where my family and I does our bulk grocery shopping. This WinCo is much cleaner and much more organized than the other one on the other side of town; however, I still visit both locations as WinCo is my preferred store for grocery shopping. I have never had a bad experience with the staff at any of my visits here and I know that some of the staff from the other WinCo has also transferred at this location. The cashiers are always pleasant and they even have self check out which is a plus when we just grab a few items. You can always find great deals here compared to other grocery stores on almost everything and they are the only grocery stores that one of my ex-coworkers told me about that sell Mint/Peanut Butter flavored balls for dogs. Also, WinCo is open 24hrs so that's definitely a plus!!! read more

I was in the bakery section and they had nasty moldy bread out on the display. I think it was marked to be sold until the 28th but it already had nasty mold on it. Someone is not looking at there product. Absolutely disgusting. The girl behind the counter (black hair, small) was too busy chatting with her coworker to even acknowledge me. She pretended not to hear me after I said "excuse me" multiple times. When I walked up to the counter she pretended she needed to go to the back. Completely unprofessional. read more

I usually shop at the one in the northwest because I live on that side of town, but we are staying at the lake out on this end of town and this is a new Winco. First off I was glad they opened this one because it took a lot of the crowd off the northwest location. But hey this town could actually use another store out on the east side of town too!! So trying to navigate through an unfamiliar store is almost like driving in an unfamiliar town, going down aisles you don't need to and going back and forth through the store like a crazy person. This store is quite a different set up from the northwest location but a very nice nice store. Clean, well stocked and as always great prices. One thing though I've always noticed about Winco is the produce doesn't have a long shelf life so be prepared to use it soon as possible to keep from losing it. read more
