Roxbury Market

Nicest owner!!! Not a grocery store per se, but the meat is wonderful, and they’ll do anything to make the customer happy

I have to laugh at the things some Unilocalers come up with to complain about. Nobody else wants to buy your sick mother’s old turkey. Who knows how long it sat in transport in her car, fridge, etc. Plus, she’s sick! Don’t be silly.
Our experience here was great. We stopped in only to use the restroom, but there is NO public restroom. It must be the area because no other nearby business had a public restroom either. (Except Walgreens, but they were closed for lunch). Regardless, our quest brought us to the deli at the back.
We passed an aisle of fresh produce, my eyes all the while searching for fresh, hot salsa. I didn’t find salsa, but did pick an artichoke salad ($ 5.98/lb)and 5-​bean salad ($ 6.95/lb) to enjoy in the car. Surprisingly I enjoyed the flavorful bean salad the most.
My husband had a well-​made salame and cheese sandwich $ 9 (provolone, since they don’t carry havarti), & mayo. It was on fresh bread and he enjoyed it. Service was great — I was given a large sample of the cucumber salad before making a purchase. It was a little too sweet, but still crunchy, fresh, and delicious.
The guard working outside the Museum of Tolerance across the street recommended this place after I asked him if there are any nearby taquerias. I’m glad there weren’t. This was great!
PS — If you have a used turkey, give it to charity, or a neighbor/​friend/​family. Or freeze it! But don’t ask someone else to eat the cost if you take ill.

The owner Victor is extremely rude and after screaming at me and speaking over my voice, ME — THE CLIENT — he hung up on me. My mom had pre-​purchased a $ 65 turkey last year and then fell ill — she cancelled Thanksgiving dinner. She called him and told him that she wasnt going to need the turkey — and he offered her a credit to get a turkey next Thanksgiving. I called today — he had NO RECOLLECTION — I asked him if he ever kept track of customer credits in writing or anything — he simply could not or would not answer. To be honest, he should have refunded her money THEN — instead she agreed for a credit — which he now blantantly denies. I tried to tell him that she paid him $ 65 in exchange for nothing — and the least he could do is offer her a store credit for that amount. Well — he hung up on me. Such a great way to treat customers. I happen to live a block away, and every once in a while go to buy a grossly overpriced ingredient I may be missing. The produce is always old and disgusting and the store sells items for 5X’s what they cost in any average market. What a rip off and what a total rude owner.

I used to go here when it was Owens Market. My first experience with the new owners was with the meat cutters. They were and are fantastic! I’ve ordered just about everything, from Standing Rib Roasts to Lamb Chops. Can’t say enough good things. Friendly and small, the way I like it.

Best market in town! Incredible deli, amazing service, and great grocerys! Definitely my go to market for any of my shopping needs.

Roxbury is an awesome little market with a friendly, small-​town feel! The owner, Victor, knows all of his customers’ names and is always friendly and helpful. The store is very clean and the produce and deli items are always extremely fresh. If the market doesn’t carry an item you’re looking for, Victor will often order it for you. They have a large parking lot around back (rare for LA) and even offer home delivery. Roxbury is right down the street from our apartment, and employees have even helped us carry our groceries home when we’ve bought more than expected. I love this market and would likely starve without it.

Here is a throwback to simpler times when the corner market was the center of your retail world. Like staff that treats you like family. Like a meat and deli section that serves up out of this world grinders. Like check-​out staff who happily bag and bring your items to your car trunk. 5 star all the way.

(Note: This review is strictly for the deli section of the market. I did not sample the market’s grocery or butcher/​seafood/​alcohol sections.)
The other day, I was attending an agency-​mandated field trip at at the Museum of Tolerance/​Simon Wiesenthal Center. When lunchtime came around, Roxbury Market was suggested as a convenient dining option by one of the class/​tour facilitators. Specifically, he suggested their tri-​tip sandwich, which sounded good to me.
A short dash across the street, and I was in the market. First, a review of the staff: of the 3 guys working there, 1 was a really cool and friendly dude (I think it was Victor). The other 2 … not so much.
(BTW, a quick tip to small business owners everywhere: when you have a staff member that gives off creepy serial killer vibes, it gives me the heebie-​jeebies, and it makes me not want to come back to your place of business.)
I ordered a trip-​tip sandwich (everything on it — lettuce, tomato, pickles, Swiss cheese, onions), as well as a macaroni salad for a side. At the time of unwrapping, the build quality of the sandwich *appeared* to be pretty high — the lettuce was all green, no rigid white stemmy parts within.
Unfortunately, the food proved underwhelming. The sandwich was disappointingly bland, and the macaroni salad was alarmingly and conspicuously stale-​tasting.
For $ 11.04+tax, I could have easily gotten a better-​tasting sandwich and side at *Subway* (which is not exactly the pinnacle of sandwich shops, mind you), and still had money left over for a drink.
If you’re in the area and looking to grab a bite, I would suggest trying your luck elsewhere. If you decide to settle on the deli Roxbury Market *anyway*, I’d at least try different deli offerings … perhaps their fried chicken and red potato salad?

This is a small market but what I like about this place is that you can get fresh sandwiches made to order here. It’s about $ 7 for a basic sandwich and it’s $ 1 extra for cheese and $ 1 extra for avocado.
We got some potato salad here too but it wasn’t too good. I would just stick to the sandwich.
They also have their own parking lot with five or so spaces.

After multiple attempts to purchase skirt steak at other grocery stores (how is everyone constantly out if this?!) I was about to give up at Pavillions. One last attempt I Unilocaled butchers in my area and found this place.
I called and asked if they had what I was looking for, a very nice man went to go check and put it on hold for me. I went over immediately and there is lots of easy parking in the lot on the side (major bonus on Pico)! I walked back to the butcher area in the back and everyone was beyond kind and accommodating… they won a loyal customer. This will definitely be my go-​to place for meat!
For a neighborhood market, I thought the price was really reasonable. I got over 2 lbs if great skirt steak for about 30.00.

A most excellent shopping experience, to misquote Ted and Bill… the snotty reviews I see posted are genuinely off-​kilter, as the place is old-​fashioned (in a good way), with wide aisles (not like the overcrowded, claustrophobic ones at Ralph’s), an excellent produce section (the giant baked potatoes were the best I’ve had in ages), a really well-​stocked wine department, and best of all, the personal touch – it’s a real, family owned business, and the owner Victor works there behind the meat counter. The steaks are aged there on the premises, and were the best I’ve ever had/​Parking is easy, and I’ve been coming back weekly, because it actually makes shopping for dinner a pleasant experience. Thanks, to all who work there and create that homey and comfortable environment!

Recommended by friend. I stopped in on way back to valley from biz meeting… got food poisoning from stale potato salad!
Beware!!!

Charming neighborhood market. I like the butcher counter in the back and almost 100% of the time find everything I am looking for. Is very easy to get in and out and the entire staff is very friendly. I feel is important to support the store as the big chains offer lousy service.

Had a deli ham swiss sandwich $ 7. Sandwich was average.
Service was friendly.
Decent selection of items in the market.
Parking lot on side.

Deli in the back is OK… Nothing to brag about. alot of items overpriced… to as much as 500% mock up (comparing to a store nearby my place)

Great sandwiches and the owner is really nice. I always recommend this place to my coworkers if they are ever undecided about lunch.

I love this market. When I moved to the neighborhood and saw the empty parking lot and dowdy exterior I was a little skeptical. However, they have won me over!
When I am on my way home from work and just need to pick up a few things, I really don’t want to go into Ralphs, listen to frustrated drivers blowing their horns in the garage, and make the long walk past fifty yards of paper towel choices.
Roxbury has everything a normal person would need to get a meal on the table; a decent selection of groceries, some fresh vegetables, an excellent butcher, reasonably priced fresh fish, liquor, beer and wine. Yes, maybe you will pay a small amount more, but you will be in and out in a matter of minutes, and in my experience always greeted with a smile. I haven’t seen any of the rude treatment other reviewers have complained about and I am there a few times a week. If you want to support small, independently owned business, here is your chance. And, for those true couch potatoes, they have free delivery! I’m sold.

New owners with new stuff and new vibe. Clean little place and the sandwiches at the back of the market are very very good and at a fair price. The environment has changed, and for the WORSE. You are greeted by big sign stating NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS. How do you wash your hands before eating, and what if you really need to go. Every market I have been to has a public restroom, but under the new ownership. Then they have a parking nazi who goes around yelling at customers. I witnessed this today, some fat guy got yelled at for parking in the lot. The funny thing was he was a customer and had bought lunch there ate it and took a walk around the block after.
I assume the manager was the one yelling like a loon, very hostile and rude. Small markets who charge twice what Ralph’s charges should act like the customer is always right, even if they are not. Final note, the new counter help and cashier isn’t to friendly either.
I will think twice before going back to what was a greta little market in our community.

Victor is the owner and he is amazing! He helped me pick out 2 fabulous bottles of wine, which I will buy again. Also, he is a great trouble shooter. Aside from Victor, he has chosen wonderfully helpful team members for his store. If you live in BH, you must shop here :)
Support your community, SHOP LOCAL!!!

Roxbury Market is a breath of fresh air. With today’s «mega» stores and strip mall mini markets its nice to have a local full service market/​butcher that has everything you need. You will find friendly and helpful people, plenty of free parking, great variety of fresh produce, dry goods and household items. My favorite is the butcher. Top quality fresh meat, fish and homemade sausages. They also make custom sandwiches to order that are 10 times better and cheaper than Subway, Ralphs or any other place around! This is more than just a market, its part of the neighborhood. GO THERE !
