Safeway Food & Drug

This is in our regular rounds. Close to home, clean and friendly. Usually well stocked and if I see an issue with fresh products they’re quick to rectify the issue.
Love the gas perks.

I have been shopping here more and more… always neat, clean, organized and plenty of checkers and baggers unlike years past when I avoided this Safeway. No CRV or need to bring my own bags. Got all my last-​minute T-​day essentials today (in under 20 minutes) and a tall latte on my way out. A win!

Nice store but super expensive. If you’re not a club member they won’t use a generic member number to give you a discount price.

This safeway has great customer service i will definatly be going back here. The cashiers and staff are all very friendly, they have a great selection and also have a deli, bakery, and florist.

5 stars for sushi guy there. 5 stars for Starbucks. 4 stars for employees. 1 star for management decision to not open additional registers when it gets super crowded and making people wait a long time to checkout. Raleys, save art, trader joes all open additional registers to speed up checkout. That is the only reason they are getting 3 stars.

I really like this particular grocery store. I can’t speak for every Safeway, but this one is always stocked and very clean. They have a wide variety of items that you can’t find at other stores. The cashiers are extremely friendly (not just overly fake nice). I love grocery shopping and this store makes it an even better experience!!!

Best grocery store sushi in town. Friendly deli staff. Checkout lines can be long.
Safeway select products can be a good deal.

This is one of my favorite grocery stores located near my house. I love how convenient this store is for me. I can walk in, grab a coffee at Starbucks and begin my shopping. Safeway always seems to have the things that I need and at a moderate price. I am always willing to spend the few dollars extra to avoid places like Walmart and to get a better quality product.
There is one lady that works behind the deli counter that really makes going here an enjoyable experience. I feel awful that I do not know her name but she is an older women that always has a positive attitude. This really stands out at this location because although I really like this grocery store, the deli staff is the one place that it really needs improvement.
They have great deals on Chinese food and you will always get enough to have left overs for days to come. The cashiers are so helpful and nice. I have even had one help me to figure out alternative ingredients to a recipe that I was attempting, after we failed to locate some odd-​ball things. I thought that this was certainly going above and beyond. If you bank with U.S. Bank (I do not) than you are in for a surprise, they have one conveniently in the grocery store.
Overall this is a good store to get all your quality groceries and maybe even a coffee.

I have been going to this safeway for a LONG time.
its produce is really hit or miss.
but when it’s a miss, it’s bad.
The staff is always nice, i only had bad experience in the course of 15 years,
and the mean disgusting old overweight lady no longer works there. phew!
The prices are oookay. Safeway select brand is one of my favorite generic brands.
I really only come here to avoid Walmart folk.

I like Safeway! and this place we found a Gas station!!! which is useful for me because of my phone number and gas rewards, $ 1 off :) Stopped in on our way home from Reno weekend! Got gas, sunflower seeds, coffee, drinks, and I used the restroom! Clean bathroom, thank goodness :) Cashier was helpful and friendly, plus it was a busy morning! Nice weather too. I saw a shopping center area across the way, so it looked like a great place. Nice location too!

I’m only rating this 1 star because of the service I got yesterday when I wanted a sandwich made. First off I am from California I may come off as a little stuck up but bare with me. I am use to having things a certain way. Well I’m not good with remembering names but yesterday I went grocery shopping and decided I wanted a sandwich made. I am a clean freak. I hate germs and It’s just certain things must be right when handling my food. Well when I walked up I seen a half of bread just sitting there, It had to be sitting there for about 10 mins+. Well about 5 mins later from that 10 or 15 mins I assumed it was sitting on the counter a lady walked up and started to slice the bread as I was telling her I wanted a sandwich. First mistake I’m from CALIFORNIA the BAY AREA to be exact. They’re very clean out there, They wash their hands multiple times and serve me with decency. This lady didn’t, She tried to serve me bread that had already been sitting up there long before I walked up to the counter. She insisted on giving me 2 pieces of salami and multiple pieces of ham, Which back home they at least cut us 5 or 6 pieces. When I asked her to add more pieces of salami, She then walked away to come back and tell me their going to have to charge me more for a couple of extra pieces of salami. Well It pissed me off because back home they wouldn’t have never given me multiple piece of ham and 2 salami’s. She was already UNSANITARY to start off. I told her never mind and just bought all the stuff I needed to make my sandwich at home. After grocery shopping I went home and enjoyed my HOME MADE sandwich instead. Well not only was she dirty, unsanitary, didn’t wash her hands not once nor did she have the decency to make my sandwich correctly, I decided I will NEVER buy a sandwich from them again. Instead when ever I take a trip back to the bay area I will just go to my favorite Safeway store instead. Until then I rather buy everything I need to make my sandwich at home. I’ll stick to grocery shopping.

I keep trying to make excuses to not leave this store a bad review, but they’re making it difficult.
Positives:
Clean
Always stocked and prices are displayed clearly.
Negatives:
The staff in the deli seem like they care about socializing more than helping customers that are waiting. More than once the have told me to «hold on a sec» while they finish various tasks that they could come back to. On a visit about a month ago the gentleman working the counter was making fun of another customer, loudly, and when his female coworker advised him that everyone could hear him he laughed and said he didn’t care.
Never enough lines open at peak times, and the staff openly talks about management and other coworkers that could be helping, but aren’t.
Today when going to checkout the guy whose line I originally picked sighed and put his head down on his register. We’ve all been there, but just keep it under wraps while someone is in front of you. I chose the next line over which Omar was at and he didn’t say one word or make any eye contact.
I hope they can fix whatever is making these people miserable because it’s a very nice store.

This Safeway is clean and organized. Has lots of great fresh produce and marinated meats ready to be cooked! The prices are moderate for the Safeway brand. You can expect it to be an above average supermarket.

This place is near my work so its convenient and the gas discount is a plus!

i cant review on the grocerie store because i dont shop there. i do however, use the gas station safeway ownes. using this gas for 2 years and have no problems with it, seems fairly clean. i also like the fact that if you get a safeway card you will get 3 cents off per gallon of gas. its not much but it adds up over time.

Not really familiar with the Reno area. Decided we need some water and snacks in the hotel room and Unilocal found us this Safeway, It’s your basic Safeway, it’s relatively quiet in there with short lines. (Maybe I beat the dinner-​time rush)

First, the good. Best bakery of any grocery store in town, and its not close. No other grocery store (excluding Whole Foods) has the variety and quality of baked goods that you’ll find at this store. Their bagels, rolls, breads, and cakes are all fantastic. They have a decent selection of stuff as well. They also have the best deli in terms of quality and selection. Fantastic. Nice produce as well. Good selection and quality.
Surprisingly, some of their pre-​made meals are really good too. Their Chinese feast for 2 for $ 9.99 is a great bargain and its good food too. Excellent fried rice, general’s chicken, and kung pow chicken. Really good. I actually tried some of their sushi as well (they have an in house sushi chef at this spot, which is kinda cool) and it was excellent.
Also, this store is super clean. Spotless really. Its easily the best maintained store in Reno outside of Whole Foods. Even better than the NW Reno Raley’s at this point.
Prices aren’t awful – on par with Savemart and a little less than Raleys on most things. Obviously more than Wal-​Mart but you don’t have the Wal-​Mart crowd or stigma to deal with here. Definitely cheaper and far superior than the brutal Scolari’s up the block.
So why only 4 stars? The service. This place NEVER has more than two checkers open and they are so slow. So so slow. No self checks either, which truly sucks. The deli is usually the same – so very slow, and people will randomly disappear from there, leaving no one to help you. Weird. This store has improved a lot of late, so much so that I’ve deleted earlier reviews that details problems that were dealt with and have not returned. And heaven help you if you need something at the service desk. Be prepared to wait. For a while!

I’ve always loved this safeway, but I am here to comment on the milk section. what is up with that??? It actually made me question buying the milk, even though I make sure to buy one thats clean and sealed. But really, milk stains all over the racks. Other than that, the bakery is great, I love their selection of breads and pastries. I’ve always encountered clean isles and friendly cashiers. One thing though: I would love a couple of self checkouts. When I go in at 10:00 at night to get some cough medicine and juice, I’m not really up for waiting 25 minutes, in the only checkout open, behind a couple who just pulled a full 2 hour shopping expedition at safeway. At 10:00 at night.

I frequent this grocery store at least once a week. I’ve chosen this store as my «everyday» groceries store. Most of the time the store is clean — they could do some clean up in the milk area.
The gas discount is a good thing too.
