MCBH Commissary

The Marine Corps base commissary in Kailua, has many selections that are cheaper in prices compared to local stores in the area. Specially in the meat section, home products and dairy sections. This place can be really crowded during paydays. But still have enough parking. You can check out on your own and scan your groceries and pay, or go through the regular «line». The place is always clean and shelves are always kept stocked. The restrooms are clean and even have a baby station where you can change diaper. They also have a designated spot for pregnant women 6 months up. What else can you ask for when you do your shopping here overlooking the pacific ocean in awe. 5 stars

Its exactly what it is… a commissary.
The produce selection is not to bad, god help you if you come after a payday or payday weekend, you will be SOL. But the selection is quite large, and not as busy as other commissaries on island.
Over all its a easy going and nice commissary. Just make sure you do not dress like you are going out to 939 or the beach and you’ll be fine.

One star cause I can’t give less. Horrible service, screaming kids, and seriously if u can’t count passed 15 don’t leave the house. People pushing carts stacked to brim in express lines and employees don’t care. I asked one about it. He answered, «it doesn’t really matter.» Save yourself headache and go to Safeway, costs a little more but so worth it. Tried this spot twice there won’t be a third. Horrible horrible place.

LOVE this commissary! It’s always been my favorite; I’d shop here EVERY time if it wasn’t so far from me!
This place is clean, the employees are nice, and you can bring guests in, unlike the navy or AF commissaries. Happy shopping!

Nice commissary at Marine Corps Base on Oahu. food is more expensive than it is on the mainland but still cheaper than at any place on the island. Staff was very polite.

I like this commissary. It’s big and a lot cheaper than going to anywhere off base. However, I find that they don’t carry as much stuff as places off base. They have a lot of different items, it just seems like whenever I go to look for a specific item, they never have it. I got very frustrated with their dog food section. When we still fed out dogs kibble we fed them nutro, however it was always a gamble to see if they actually had it in stock. Some days it was he chickens eclipse, per days the lamb. Other days it was only the seniors blend or the puppy’s. Other day still there was nothing. But most of e time the checkout process is fast and friendly, even when the line is all the way to the back of the store and to the milk and eggs.

Being a part of the military you get the benefits of the exchanges, commissaries and much more especially if you live on base because it’s just down the road! I love that the commissary is just a walk down the street but I do prefer the Pearl Harbor commissary. It’s understanding that the mcbh commissary is smaller but I wish they had some of the things that the Pearl Harbor commissary has. Ex. Basil, mint and more groceries. I get a little frustrated when I come in for lettuce and all that is left is two leaves of lettuce.

Located on the beautiful windward side of Oahu… is the commissary on the Marine Corps Base. It’s located next to the Exchange. There’s ample parking.
The commissary itself is comparable to Hickam or Schofield’s commissary. Pearl Harbor still is the largest. It has items expected in any grocery store: produce, meats, deli section, bakery section, fish, poultry, snacks, breads, frozen foods, dairy products, bathroom/​household items, etc… the list goes on. Prices are CHEAP (compared to Safeway or Foodland for example).
Staff is nice. The facility is clean and the surrounding areas are well kept.

Excellent place to go shopping if you have G. I I.D
They’re like Safeway but bigger.
Many of the food and grocery items that they supply are already at discounted prices, A lot of the items also come in variety. Which is one thing i remember about this place is the variety and assortment of products they carry.
There’s all the same sections you would find in a regular grocery store including a poke/​seafood section.
Parking is very abundant. Just make sure you watch where you park as some stalls are for top ranking officials.
The store in general is very well kept and maintained. The line to the checkout counters are funneled so there is no confusion in organization, and people can’t just cut in front of you. Whenever there is an available registers, a light comes on and directs you to the next available register. There is also a couple self checkout registers.
Also there is a massive wall of items directly to the left that are on super sale. Probably the items that the store is trying to get rid of quickly, so it’s at a super discounted sale price.
