Stars & Stripes Mart

I see the numerous one-​star reviews here saying that the employees were rude to them. I’m genuinely shocked by that. I’m from out of town, am staying at one of the hotels nearby, have been in every day to pick up sodas and snacks. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been cheerful, friendly, outgoing, helpful. Just super nice people. Wanted to thank them publicly for the happy experiences.
Please note that I did not use the deli and have no experience or opinion. Just want to note how friendly the employees have been.

This place should have their deli shut down. My good friend Charlie went there about a week ago and got a sandwich. Let me put it in plain English… He got food poisoning. He was very ill for 2 – 3 days. He said that the last time he went there 6 years ago he got diahrea. Charlie didn’t mention the attitude of the people who work there: but he is a very tolerant person and the type of person not to focus on treatment interaction. He didn’t even want to call the store and let them know. He suffered greatly for that time he was sick. It could have killed someone who was not in as good physical shape as Charlie. He thinks nothing of riding his bike 30 miles. I hope it didn’t cause long term damage. From the sounds of it (other peoples complaints) this is a place to avoid.

Follow up. Found out the owner is in cahoots with the towing company. My friend SAW the tow truck guys slip money to the owner of Stars and Stripes.

Very bad place and very expensive. Got a quart of milk at $ 2.00 more than supermarket. Come on i know u people got to make money but maybe a buck more but two. NOT GOING THERE NO MORE

Updating my review to a one star. Rude rude people.

Alan is always friendly and his family is also somewhat friendly as well. All I know is I live down the street and asked Alan to carry Hanger 24 Double Barrel IPA. It wasn’t but two weeks and there she was. Bottom line customer service is excellent and I hope to continue to do business with quality honest people like the family that runs «stars and stripes». Thanks guys.

So I came here to get ice for my head which I hit pretty hard and was bleeding. I rode my bike down here dazed and with a throbbing head, I walk into the store and go to the ice storage thing. I pick up the top one and bring it out. I walked a little and noticed it was leaking so I ran to the door and was letting it drain out.
The owner comes over to me and yells at me about I should have asked him to get ice and to get another, I go get another and he starts yelling at me about the little line of water to the door even though I was trying not to spread it. Keep in mind I just hit my head and this whole experience sucks and he’s adding to it.
VERY RUDE. Do not shop here!

Just OK. The good: they are open until 11PM most nights and alot of holidays, when Pt. Loma is mostly closed up. Decent parking.
The bad: Weird vibe; owner is Eastern European and he is OK but it’s mostly staffed by his sons who clearly would rather be somewhere else. Occasionally rude. Booze is way overpriced. Deli sandwiches are OK but small and, again overpriced for what you are getting. Overall, selection seems limited. While this is in an ideal location, you WILL pay for the convenience.

The small grocery and liquor store does not really do it for me, it has a worn feel to it and unless buying alcohol it does not carry a lot of other things one wants. Have managed to pickup some basic groceries at premium prices a few times. Service is uninspired at best but the place does not claim to be the best or so and in a sense one gets what can be expected.

Wow! these people are so rude! Get it together, or get out of Point Loma!
BTW, Swishers are always dry here…

We come down to Shelter Island quite often to take out our boat and occassionally need supplies, snax, or spirits.
Guys here need an attitude adjustment. Selection and prices are ok… I wouldn’t touch a deli sandwich there with a 10ft pole. I used to work in a deli in my younger years and I can guess by the lack of volume they do in their shop while I’ve stopped in during lunch hours, I’m skeptical that they may try to push off some old meat/​cheese on people.
Store is tight inside, you can’t get a smile out of any of the employees, but if you’re just looking for a spot to stop in and pick up some supplies, I guess it’s fine. For similar beer/​wine/​liquor selection and prices for the most part, I go across the street to Trader Mort’s where at least I get service with a «smile.»

The reviews are RIGHT! The guy working here is HORRIBLE! Didn’t even get to order a sandwhich! The guy working there was so painfully rude I changed my mind. When he got mad at me for not wanting anything he became confrontational with me and my boyfriend had to defend me– and in fear of this guy getting his ass beat I rushed my boyfriend out of there! I seriously couldn’t believe I experienced that LOL!

Good liquor/​convenience store in point loma. They have a pretty good selection of booze, snacks and all that good stuff. Large wine selection for a liquor store. They have a small deli also which I havent tried yet but a lot of people were ordering sandwiches and sitting at the tables outside. I used to live in PL and frequented this place semi-​often a few years ago and recently went there when I was in the area.

I am rating this place ZERO stars. The food was overpriced, the guy behind the counter glared at me when I smiled at him. And when I paid for my items, he just pushed them in my direction, after slamming my change down on the counter. And no «thank you» either.

The perfect convenience store/​liquor store to live across the street from. It’s pretty big, and offers a variety of goods. There is a pretty good selection of alcohol, a deli, lots of snacks, and whatever else you would find at a convenience store. I would have to say they have a pretty good selection of sandwiches, and different types of bread for their deli. They also have soup, and salads for their deli. Coffee and smoothies (only 2 flavors) are sold here too. My favorite thing about this place is the ice cream selection. They seem to sell my favorite types of ice cream.
Note: There is a fee for using your credit/​debit card if it’s under a certain amount. I think it’s if your total is under $ 6, they charge you 50 cents.

This store is named after the ship that won the cup here in San Diego. Conner’s 1995 AC yacht, Stars & Stripes USA-​34 won the defender series. This is the convenience to beat all convenience stores, they literally have everything you could possibly desire and then some.
If you live on a boat, you probably know about this place, if you don’t you should. When I was a kid convenience stores were like this, they were large and full of everything, and this is why I like it here. There’s lots of staff loading shelves and they are really friendly and treat you like a human being.
I never thought I’d write about a convenience store, but time and time again they impress me here, so that now I go out of my way to check in over there to see what’s going on.
There are umpteen bottles of beer, white, red and all kinds of other boozes.
They make sando’s too, there is a deli portion where you can order and Italian, you can pick your bread, and they make it quick.
If this is not in your neighborhood but you want to head to Point Loma for fireworks or some kind of boat trip, take a detour past here and get your supplies here, I think you’ll be glad you did.
