Raley’s

Roast beef and the pastrami looks delicious and very friendly service at the meat counter. I didn’t catch her name but she’s the beautiful red head with short hair and a very personable friendly disposition.
But what’s the point of having a discount reward system that provides no benefit at all? I don’t have a card with them but my friend Steve, who was with me, does. He entered his number into the system for no affect at all. $ 97 worth of various food items from different departments including coffee sandwich meat creamer bread peanut butter jelly condiments etc. not one item was reduced in price.
Lame!

I shop Raleys all the time, i took my brother in law to get a sandwich, wich are the best in town, after waiting 8 minutes as the lady was making onevsandwich and bad mouthing some other lady, my bro decided on some chicken, also best in town, after the rude service there, he then asked the sanwich lady if there was any more ice, she replied rudely, «in the café» my bro who has never been there says ” that way?”
She says waving her arms «over there».
But theres no ice over there, i said to my bro I like the place but i dont appreciate rude emloyees disrespecting my family that comes and visits from a great distance away. Vons you won!

First of all I love Raley’s. However, this one is not good. I am a military wife in town with my in laws while my husband is away. Yes, I use wic because anything helps while I’m staying home with my daughter, leaving us with just one income. Like I said, we are a military family so we are not rolling in the dough. These people were extremely rude about it. They treated me like I couldn’t read, didn’t know what I was doing, and like doing checkout was a total pain in their you know whats. The bagger even rolled her eyes and sighed. From what I’ve heard there has been several complaints about this behavior. It took over half an hour for them to check me out because they kept saying what I had was wrong and asking if I even read the book, so I had to pull out the book every time to prove to them that I was right. Then on top of that I went in the other day, not using wic, just shopping for things to send my husband in a care package, and my infant daughter and I were followed around the entire store. I dress very nice, I take very good care of myself, and I have name brand things (not that any of that should matter). Only thing is I’ve got quite a lot of tattoos, mostly covered up with clothing. I guess this constituted a manager following me around the store making me feel very uncomfortable and very embarrassed. Then at the front of the store he stood there watching me walk out and proclaimed to a friend that «he’s looking out for trouble,» and gestured towards me. I am beyond ticked off with this store and will not be shopping here again unfortunately. And I will be letting all of my friends know about this situation. This was only the second time I’ve been in this particular store and I can assure you it is the final time.

Deli food and service-​SUPERB. Tasty, affordable, nice people. Now for the wine– don’t buy it here! The normal price only applies to bottles of 6. If you want just one bottle be prepared to pay restaurant prices. Whose stupid idea was this? I grew up shopping here but missed the evolution into greedy tourist trap.

Great supermarket! Very clean, surprisingly well stocked and organized, and really friendly staff. They have a Red Box too which is great when you don’t want to go to The Met (theater).
I’m only docking a star bc the Peets drink I ordered (matcha green tea latte) didn’t taste right… but hey, at least they have a Peets! The coffee shop we wanted to visit was closed (Sunday) so Peets saved us when my hubby needed his AM coffee.

Raley’s is fantastic. I disagree that the prices are high, but then I’m from Manhattan. The gluten free section is better and cheaper than anywhere back home. Minus one star because it does actually seem from these reviews that there may be some racial profiling going on here. The tour buses stop here which may lead to frustration at times.

Nettes Äußeres, aufgeräumter Laden. Für den Abend nach Yosemite NP genau richtig. Vergleich zu Wal-​Mart gestern in Sonora: ordentliches Bier, Auswahl an Käse, Wurst, aufgeräumt.
Das Äußere zahlt man auch (–1), ich fand es aber angenehm.

I love this Raley’s and its a life-​saver when staying in Oakhurst, or when driving through on your way to/​from Yosemite. Love the layout of their store, and no matter what you are looking for, they have a fairly good selection. Whether you are looking for sweets, meat, cheeses, fruit or veggies or miscellaneous items, you will surely find it here.
This past trip, we found ourselves here quite a few times during our week stay purchasing things like french bread, cheese, olive oil, and produce. The produce is always fresh and of good quality. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I’m a fan!

My 3 stars for Raley’s is simply because they carry the gluten free products I needed.
I came in to stock up on some snacks for my hike at Yosemite, but didn’t realize how ridiculously expensive it was going to be.
A pack of Newman’s gluten free fig bars that normally cost $ 3.49 to $ 4.49 ended up costing me $ 6.00 and everything else was about $ 1 more.
I also wanted to get some organic produce, but unfortunately it was not fresh. The strawberries were welted and the lettuce was brown. I don’t know why they bother with organic produce when it’s clearly not fresh.
Overall I’m still glad I was able to get some of the things I needed, but wouldn’t recommend Raley’s, because of the high prices and the lack of fresh produce in the organic section.

I’ve shopped here throughout the years whenever visiting Oakhurst. However, as of recent I have preferred shopping at Vons for a number of reasons — Prices and customer service. If I was in a hurry the prices did not bother me but they are more expensive than the other store in town. There isn’t much I can say about that.
The customer service is poor to say the least. I can’t count how many times I’ve been ignored, given bad looks, and accused of stealing. There is nothing better than coming to Raleys on your half hour lunch break to be stopped in your tracks and interrogated about a hat you «took the tag off» of. I guess the manager found a stray tag floating around the aisle I walked down for 2 seconds to get to the other end of the store? Real smooth. I asked her to review the tapes. I’m in a hurry, didn’t touch one of your unattractive hats, tell me what makes you think I’d remove a tag. She gave a condescending huff and walked away. That tells me something about your store.
I have not returned, nor do I plan to. Stay away, shop at Vons where you will be treated like a valued customer.

A bit over priced but guess they can do that if there is only 2 stores within driving distance.

I love Raleys’ selection. They tend to have all the obscure «Health» foods that I’m looking for. Their prices are usually a bit more than Vons’ but I think they have higher quality stuff.
Friendly clerks, Peet’s coffee corner. Great produce selection.

Stopped by to grab some chips on the way to Yosemite and I really had to pee. It was hard to spot a store employee so the first one I saw I asked where the restrooms were. She looked really unhappy and unenthusiastic. Which is fine, got my chips and left.

Raley’s, you are so smart for having a Peet’s Coffee inside the store. Now we can get our Peet’s fix before we head into Yosemite.

There was a time I used to really enjoy this grocery store. It used to be much cleaner, and the staff used to be much, much more friendly and helpful. I’ve noticed a decline in this over the past couple years. I got the deathstare from who I believe is the manager, for looking through the tacky clothing aisle they have. I guess I’m the first person she’s seen hold up a shirt to check the size. Haha. Pathetic.
Anyways, that was not the only obnoxious experience I’ve had there. After I purchased a meal with a friend from the bakery, we sat down at the cute little café area to eat, only to be immediately interrupted by this guy demanding to see our reciepts. Had he not had such an attitude, and been so rude, it wouldnt’ve been a problem… but he was just that. I understand they check for reciepts to make sure you didn’t steal anything, but to be demanded your reciept in such a rude manner is beyond me. They should respect their customers a lot more than what I’ve experienced, and seen, or they won’t have any customers except tourists (They’d still make a sh*t ton of money). I understand workers must be wary of possible teen hooligans shop lifting, etc, but to act like every paying customer is a suspect is a NO-​NO. I recall many other problems with this store. The bathrooms smell disgusting like they haven’t been cleaned in weeks.
After that incident, I hand-​wrote a complaint to the store. I will not return, even if they do have tasty fresh soup (their tomato bisque and broccoli cheese is really good. One extra, almost undeserved star for that.) and a good bakery in general. The staff is arrogant. I will be shopping at Vons from now on.

I have been coming to this Raley’s since before there was a shopping center across the street with a the Von’s in it. I have always liked the small-​town feel of this grocery store while still being able to get everything you need. I also think the produce is fresher here. The employees are very friendly and always willing to help you find the hidden item…(butterskotch extract, rum extract… recipe for Harry Potter Butterbeer). The pharmacy is tops too. They can usually have a script filled while you shop. Oh. on checkout, whenever a small line starts to form, another check-​stand is opened right away.

Great last stop when you are heading to Yosemite through Highway 41. Hit up Todd’s BBQ and then when you are done, head over the Raley’s for a quick stop for anything that you forgot back at home. Pricing is like the suburbs, so none of that you’re-stuck-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-and-have-no-other-option pricing that can happen in small towns.
The staff is friendly and knowledgable. I was looking for 2-​gallon water jugs and must’ve asked 3 – 4 people where it was located. They all told me the right answer, but I must’ve been blind ’cause it took me awhile to find. It was my fault, not the stores.
Also, enjoy the giant shopping carts!

close to bass lake

My favorite local grocery store. They have lots of organic veggies and fruit, beautifully presented and kept moist. Also a fine Natural Foods section, with baked goods, cereals, oils, soups, and lots of bins for nuts, flour, grains. The best place to go for healthful groceries.
Helpful staff if needed.

Funny that I reviewed Vons, and now Raley’s, when generally I ignore reviewing these kinds of places. I am doing so because I came to a realization that in a town like Oakhurst, (made up in the 1930s as a stopoff for supplies for Yosemite) all of your main supplies are here. Like the General stores of the past with even Peets Coffee, positioning itself within, Raley’s caters both locals and tourists. Get anything and everything here… except a snowmobile. I did buy a bottle of REAL SANGRIA. so odd. in Oakhurst??? Anyways. with some added twisted orange cuties, half lime and half lemon and a chopped Rome Apple… served cold… wow.
Servers behind the Peets coffee providing me with no less than six shots of espresso. thank you. it help having that caffeine buzz twisting my way to the valley floor.

This was the first BIG store to come to Oakhurst. It has everything you could want and it’s run more like a big city store. They have a beautiful floral department so if you find yourself coming home from Yosemite and you need flowers, stop here.
I have to give big kudos to the pharmacy here because I ran all over Oakhurst looking for a syringe and was given the evil eye by most pharmacy counters (they thought I wanted to do drugs or something) until I came here where the pharmacist was kind enough to give (as in FREE) a liquid medicine syringe to me. The syringe needed to be 1 ml for a medicine dosing for a very small child.
