Costco Food Court

While I don’t frequently visit this counter-​service food court, I have tried a few items off their menu as it can sometimes be a convenient option when you’re in a hurry. The extra long ALL-​BEEF HOT DOGS [4*] are an absolute steal for $ 1.50 (with a drink!), and their $ 2 PIZZA SLICES [3.5*] (which I have only had a few bites of) are big enough to cover your face. They’re also made the way I like my pizza — thin but malleable. I found the popular CHICKEN BAKE [2.5*] underwhelming with an overly crunchy exterior and not enough filling. The BBQ BEEF BRISKET SANDWICH [4*] for $ 4.99 comes wrapped in aluminum and is well-​seasoned, tender, and includes a generous portion of beef.
The lines tend to get long and the only way to avoid paying cash is to add your order at the check-​out registers when you’re done with your shopping.
Seating is limited and the condiment area is frequently messy.

We went to costco, for the very first time in about 6 months, walked around the whole place because haven’t been there in a while, we got hella hungry, so we decided to eat at the food court… we stepped In line, and this fat Mexican worker rudely told us to move to the next line without even giving me manners because I’m the customer but I respectfully moved to the other line. So I get to the next line, these two girl workers were giving dirty looks like I was stupid. If they were in the streets of deep east Oakland they would get dropped and smacked around in they face for making them feel stupid. I am very lucky I did not take it personal, just ignored them, because one day I know they will get smacked. These two young ladies were very rude, no customer service, they just threw the food and while we were taking out our money they were very impatient. There wasn’t even anybody in line to be in a rush. If I was the manager of this place, I would fire those 3 employees because of their lack of perfessionalism, and lack of respect. And they started talking shit in Spanish. So we finally got to the table, opened up our hot dogs, and took a bite, first thing I notice was this shit was cold as fuck. Overall, this was a bad experience. Not looking forward to coming back with these rude ass employees.

Affordable deliciousness. When I want to take my wife for a good inexpensive meal, I take her to a Costco Food Court.
Some of our favorites are the chicken bake, hot dogs, sundae w/​strawberries, and the hand dipped ice cream bar with nuts and chocolate (when on the menu).
The pizza is not too bad either.
So if you are on a very tight budget, then go to the Costco food court for some good cheap food.

dro’s costco food stand lies in an older building thus the seating area and prep area is smaller compared to the san ramon’s.
the food is good for the price, the menu isn’t as upbeat as san ramon.
i usually go at nonpeak hours so lines are short.
i seldom eat at either costco’s.
whenever i do patronize the food stands, service was never a problem…

almost every trip to costco i get a smoothie or pizza. whats not to love you can work up an appetite or thirst walking in costco. its inexpensive and you can pre-​purchase with your other items.

What can I say… where else could you get a meal for $ 1.50 with a drink and refills included.

Inexpensive food that still tastes great? They do it at Costco of course! You can get a hot dog and soda for $ 1.50, a churro for one buck, and a giant pizza for ten. Those who are looking to stretch that dollar that they are already saving at Costco can feel confident that they aren’t going to gip you here. I’ve never really had issues here. I do have a little story though. Probably ten years ago, my parents, one of my sisters and I were at Costco and were doing some shopping before we went to the hospital to see my older bro (appendicitis), and I was the one who for some reason was the one to go and pick up the pizza. Now I remember it was probably a Saturday, and those have famously been busy days. Anyway, I remember people were so mad, and I was in this mob of tall people (being as I was ten or eleven at the time), and I remember the workers were desperate to get all those people out. Anyway, my dad always looked at the pizza after they handed it to him, and that is exactly what I did, but instead of the pepperoni, it was a cheese. We don’t do cheese, but I was young, shy and not as outspoken as I was before so I just took it even though I knew it was the wrong one. And people were upset so I wanted to get out of there. We still ate it, even though I was the only one who knew it was cheese up until we ate it at the hospital — in front of our brother. That was kind of cruel, I still don’t know why we did that it wasn’t my choice. I thought it was weird that we were walking in a hospital with a pizza box in the first place, but whatevs.
Yes, that was a HUGE tangent, but I couldn’t help it.
I will say that I wish their seating place was regularly clean. I was getting two tires replaced at the tire center (which was a two hour wait), so I had absolutely nothing to do and it was cold outside so I purchased myself a hot dog and waited it out. There’s not a lot there, and they’re all closely put together so that was pretty awkward. It was cold outside, but I was tired and ended up taking a walk to the area where the Home Depot and Walmart are, for there was a Starbucks there at one time, but evidently not anymore. The moral of this point I’m trying to make is I wish they kept that area a little more clean, but I never see (nor saw) myself using it again, so it won’t be an issue for me in the future.
Also, they apparently do not take credit/​debit cards. I handed mine to the cashier and she said that they only take cash. I do not know if that is a permanent thing, but I remember they used to take card, and nothing is stated anywhere that it is cash only. Luckily I had enough cash on me or I would have been screwed.

Great hotdog which comes with a soda! Can’t beat that! All the pizzas are always good at Costco!

Routinely rude staff. Food is typical Costco food court faire, but staff is horrible. After far too many times waiting forever in the «pay ahead, pick up» line which is theoretically faster, I give up. Actually had a discussion with others about how it’s always faster to just buy it in the «regular» lines than expect faster service just because you ordered and paid ahead of time when you were dropping a couple hundred bucks at Costco. Weak.

Cheap food. But surprisingly good.

Rude staff and stingy with their helpings of froyo… very NOT cool, especially after waiting in line a while.
