Bashas’

I used to love this Basha’s. Lately though I’ve had to routinely return meat because it goes bad before its sell by date. Their meat department is completely inept and shady. They back date their meat and we have even on occasion found that they place stickers over brown and spoiling sections of their steaks just to sell them. Food safety is no joke and these clowns are going to end up killing one of their elderly customers one of these days.
Just last night I bought a pound and a half of king crab legs and they were already bad less than 24 hours later with a sell by date of ⁷⁄₂₆. We had to return them. We will start shopping at Sprouts up North from now on. I’ll pay the higher prices knowing I’m not going to have to question wether or not the food I just bought is bad.
For the record I am ServSafe certified and a classically trained chef. Be careful shopping here. This grocery store has questionable food handling practices.

I miss the cannolis my mother used to order from an Italian, family-​owned bakery in Chicago. Bashas’ cannolis are just as perfect!

I always enjoy my shopping experience at Basha’s in Peoria. Steve, the Store Manager, and the Sales Associates are always quick to pleasantly greet me by name, offer assistance and thank me for shopping at Bashas’. The Meat, Deli, Bakery and Produce Departments offer top quality merchandise at competitive prices and the Pharmacy is well run by a knowledgeable and courteous staff of employees. Many items I enjoyed in New York, can be found only at Bashas’. This is truly our Home Town Store and we love it!

Basha’s has the best donuts in the west valley. They are made fresh daily right there in the store and I challenge anybody to find a better selection. On Fridays you can get 6 free when you buy 12. That’s 18 donuts for 6.99.

Too bad the produce dept is so poorly run with old product being sold at top price in the area. The produce department is always an indicator how well a store is managed.
Another unfortunate experience was in the deli purchasing BBQ wings which had been dried out under the lights so they added more BBQ sauce. Inedible.
The bakery is good and employees are friendly. Otherwise I would have given only one star.
Guess I must drive the extra miles to Fry’s.

I would choose Bashas’ over Fry’s in AZ any day.
Smaller store with many amenities. There is a Starbucks and Wells Fargo located inside.
I love the bakery and café style seating.
The produce is fresh, employees are helpful and courteous, and the store is very clean.
You may pay a little more but I think it’s worth it.

Just moved to the area and have never had a Bashas store in our Phoenix area. I have never encountered such rude and uncaring checkers in my life. I will drive extra miles to avoid this store and plan to meet with the manager face to face and tell him what I think. Safeway and Frys have much nicer people and better prices.

Have been coming here for years sporadically when staying in Sun City and must say this store is your over all best bet for shopping satisfaction in the area. To start I must applaud the management for having a extremely diverse and yet amazingly chosen staff from retirees to high school kids to everything in between that all work simultaneously together. Second on a side plus note there is Starbucks and a wells Fargo bank inside the location. Hands down freshest and best bakery around they have these little old ladies wake up at like 3am to make the donuts and Danish so don’t miss out! Good fresh pizza and I assume there other hot food is just as good from the looks although never personally tasted. Btw pizza is best in the area, defiantly including the joint next door in the same plaza. The negatives, the fish I was told is currently from china so sea food is a Big No No! Deli closes up before the store actually does, (doesn’t seem to affect there majority of retired customer base). For the large section of alcohol sold there craft beer has seemed to always be on the dated side, again more issues that prob don’t effect main customer basis. All in all I would have given them the fifth star if I hadn’t bought beer that was about to expire,… twice.

This is a typical Bashas. The store itself is very clean. Produce looked fresh when we were there. We purchased scallops which were really tasty and cheaper than Costco. I can always find everything I’m looking for.
The workers are very friendly. They always greet me with a smile.
