Ralph’s Grocery Company

Ralphs in Los Osos is a nice clean store with a nice little bakery and & wonderful deli department. You can buy Boars Head deli items here that are almost as great as the folks who run the Deli. Sometimes there is a wait, but the service is excellent so I don’t have a problem waiting my turn.
Today I gave the gal my list, did my shopping and came back and picked up my order.
Love this place!

They always run out of stuff. Sometimes the employees are grumpy. I can’t blame them for that, their work environment looks like it sucks. There’s no self check-​out lane! During the summer their lines were so long, they only had one or two lanes open and they had the express lane closed. It didn’t escape notice. They must have lost some of their employees or had them on vacation. I’d like to see a female employee in the meat department. At least they have one working in the produce section. They need to tell their managers to stop calling people «hun» or «sweetie.» Managers should never do that, after all I’m not their child I’m a grown-​ass woman. Not only is it unprofessional (it could be considered a form of sexual harrassment if the recipient doesn’t like it) but most women don’t enjoy when people call them «hun» or «sweetie» by some old dude or by a younger woman who looks at them like they’re a slut. It’s not appropriate or polite to do to a stranger. I’d rather be called by my name or ma’am. Destany is the nicest checker, and also that blond woman who works in the morning. They never give people a dirty or judgy look. Tell your managers to act like them. If I see a woman with a really nice body who is more attractive than I am, I try really hard not to give them that disapproving quick little look that so many women give to other women, even if I’m jealous of her or know that she is better than I am in so many ways

This is a really nice store, our son and daughter has worked there. The staff is really friendly which makes for a good shopping experience. Thanks

When we toured the US by car, we bought our groceries at Ralphs or Trader Vics.
You get anything you need right here, even vegan food.
What’s not to love?

As far as grocery stores go, it’s excellent. Boar’s Head deli counter, La Brea baked goods, decent meat counter, solid vegetable counter with a growing selection of organics. When they do markdowns they do not believe in half measures– hit the far corners for daily *deep* discounts.
Prices are in line with the region, clerks are mostly congenial except for the burn out lady who works early mornings. If you want selection, its the best option that doesn’t require a drive to SLO.

First off, let me say that I don’t normally write negative reviews, and I am very patient and don’t have too high of standards at places. However, I felt like something needed to be said. Every time my husband has gone to get meat from 5pm on, they have always been completely out of everything. I mean everything. Cube steaks, low selection of chicken, pork ribs, etc. We know that things happen and that at later times of the day, it’s slim pickings and a lower selection, but as of late, that meat department has been a piece of work. No answer when for service when we ring the bell? Poor customer service. Also, the produce seems to look old alot and not too fresh. Long story short, shop Vons or Albertsons in Morro Bay if you want specific items for meat and produce. Everything else is fine.

Our Ralphs suits me fine. Excellent cashiers, great vegan selections. Los Osos Ralphs, rocks. It is the Rock ‘n Roll Ralphs of the central coast.

This is my new supermarket since I moved to Los Osos! I’m happy with the prices, big parking lot, good sales, all that stuff. I moved here from a little town with a tiny little grocery story where «everybody knows your name.» I wouldn’t expect that from a big chain supermarket.
Well, nobody knows my name but I don’t care (I don’t know theirs yet either). All the employees have been so friendly and helpful!
One incident sealed the deal: I have spinal stenosis which gets pretty painful by the time I’m ready for the checkout line. One day there was a long line and another register opened up and the clerk motioned me over. I thanked him very much and said something about my back (because wow, it was roaring by then) and BAM — suddenly I was surrounded by employees unloading my cart for me! I kept saying thanks, this isn’t necessary. But they shushed me and kept going. The clerk said I should never be shy about speaking up in the future if my back hurts.
I never have. I really can handle it. But what a nice thing to do! Thank you guys, if you are reading this. You sweeties!

I’ve lived in Los Osos my whole life. When Ralphs was built I was excited to have a larger store in town that not only had a bigger selection of goods to choose from but also a place that would finally be open all night for those late night emergencies. Like tooth aches or ear aches that happen unexpectedly to us and our children. Also i was pleased that there would be extra employment opportunities for our little town. Which, i had hoped, would mean that we would not only get the convenience of a bigger store, but also the friendly service that goes along with living in a small, close knit community. As the years have passed I’ve observed that the customer service is not as good as it used to be. I’m also upset that the store is no longer open ²⁴⁄₇. Which leaves me to travel further distances for those late night family emergencies.

Great store, huge selection. What really makes it wonderful though is the people working there. If you live in Los Osos like we do and do a lot of your shopping there, you eventually will know a lot of them and several cashiers in particular are so so nice. It’s horrible that I can’t remember their names, there are two in particular that we have conversations with every time we go through their line and if there isn’t someone in line behind us we often stand there taking with them for a minute after paying. Really great people!

A convenient place to pick up firewood, ice and other supplies for your camping trip at either Montana De Oro State Park to the west, or Morro Bay State Park to the north.
The store and parking lot are fairly large. Prices overall looked reasonable, but I didn’t look too hard since we only stopped here for ice. Ice is sold in 7lb and 20lb bags. Propane tanks, located outside the store, can be bought here as well.
And if you fail at catching fish on your trip, you can always see what the seafood department here has to offer…

Ralph’s is a chain. this one is very clean, well stocked and Just another olé Ralph’s — What can I say, that’s it!

This is the best grocery store in the area. I live in Morro Bay and drive to Los Osos just to shop at Ralphs for a couple of reasons. First their prices are very reasonable and sometimes really great during a big sale. I also love that they send you personalized coupons and give you the opportunity to earn money off your shopping trips. Secondly, their produce and meat are fresh and I haven’t had the problem of buying things here, getting them home, and finding out they are expired (I have had this problem with the Albertson’s in Morro Bay, which is why I don’t shop there anymore) Their selection of items isn’t the greatest, there are a few times I have been frustrated when unable to find things (to be fair though I cook with some unusual things, not to mention my sister in law has food allergies so I have to find things that aren’t going to make her sick) but if you ask they will order things and keep them in stock for you. Most of the employees are very friendly and helpful also, especially one of the managers… whose name is now eluding me… she tells me about all the specials going on and knows pretty much where everything in the store is and if they carry something off the top of her head.

My family has had great experiences with both Ralph’s supermarket and the pharmacy. We’ve *never* had a problem similar to Anne A.‘s description about being bullied– quite the opposite. The check-​out clerks have been warm and kind, sometimes even funny, with us. With our Ralph’s card, we feel that the everyday prices are pretty reasonable and we sometimes find really great random deals. The pharmacy is *exceptionally* good– VERY professional and helpful. Their kindness and professionalism has won us over as loyal customers.

Nice folks. They get to know you after a while and it makes shopping there at the end of the day pretty nice.
The prices are not especially one way or another.
But the store is well lit and clean! I want the people selling my food to be confident with me seeing it clearly.

Well, this is a large store and you will probably find what’s on the standard grocery list. You can get a monster sandwich for six bucks, good for two meals unless you are a beast. Not the freshest meat since it is pre-​sliced, but you can request whatever if you are picky. You might want to ask how old the fried chicken has been sitting in the hot case for and look them in the eye, that shit gets so gawd damn old. People here are generally nice yet like most corporate stores Ralph’s does contain some work zombies, which have no personality at all. Not much is different at this Ralph’s compared to others other than than a lot of elderly people that you need to dodge in the isles and through doorways. They don’t bother me much though.
