This is the worst Vons I have ever shopped at, which is a bummer because I live in UC. Their excuse for everything is their size because they have a small store. That doesn’t excuse awful service, long long lines and spoiled food. Ugh.

I tried doing all of my grocery shopping here and it was a complete disappointment! It is one of the only stores I’ve found that stocks Udis frozen meals for two and Amy’s family meals so I tried buying my other groceries here instead of at Ralph’s fresh fair and my experience was awful. The store is stocked super poorly. They don’t even have a chip aisle… its just chips on random aisle ends. Also a lot of the yogurts were close if not already past the expiration date. The selection was seriously lacking and everything was so much more expensive! I couldn’t believe how much I spent for how little I got. It was truly depressing. I’ll never do all my grocery shopping here again! Back to Ralph’s, the truly superior and less expensive grocery store.

The worst vons ever, they don’t have half what other vons have. They should close this one

Some shelves weren’t restocked after people had bought what was there. The staff walking around weren’t that helpful/​didn’t acknowledge your presence or ask if you needed help.
I just came here because it was the closest vons and I wanted to get something that was on sale here. I’ll only probably be back if they have good sales on what I want.

This Vons should not be a Vons, but rather be called Shitty Shitty Grocery Store. They literally have a very minimal selection.

Solana Beach, CA
Over priced as all get out. Also only provides one checker most days even when incredibly busy. I spend more time standing in line here than purchasing groceries. I gave it two stars because of the locations convenience and the employees that work here are very helpful. It’s just the systems in place (corporate?) that I assume are the problem.

This Vons needs to go. I try to avoid this place like the plague, but its super convenient.
Reasons to go here:
–You really want a slice of cake at 10 p.m.
–You need another bottle of wine or pack of beer
Reasons not to go here:
–You don’t like standing in a check out line forever
–You like fresh produce
This store is low stoked, normally has a long check out line, and the produce section is literally depressing (I feel sad when I’m there). Don’t go here– drive a few more miles to the other Vons.

The worst Von’s ever! The shelves are barely stocked. There is ALWAYS a long line and usually only one cashier. Today several dairy products were on the shelf with sell by dates that were over two weeks expired. I avoid this store as much as possible but on occasion I have had to come here for some reason or another or for convienence when I used to work in the area.

Two words: Roasted chicken
I came on a $ 5 Friday where the 8 piece fried chicken (2 legs, 2 breasts, 2 wings, and 2 thighs) was on sale. They ran out of the fried chicken and only had roasted chicken so I just went with it. The pieces were smaller than your run of the mill chain fried chicken store but were well seasoned and very, very juicy. Definitely tastes better than Albertson’s fried chicken! For a quick lunch or dinner, it’s a very good deal. You’ll even have lots of leftovers for a quick meal the next day!
In general, I don’t go to Vons all that often. It’s a tad more expensive than the other grocery stores in the area (minus Bristol Farms of course) so as a college student on a budget, I usually just browse through the weekly ads to see if there’s something on sale being sold for a cheaper price. Sometimes, you can find very good deals! I like this Vons more than the one on Regents because there’s generally less people and the store seems a lot cleaner.

Place is old small with narrow isles. Tons and f elderly people and those in motorized chairs. Parking lot can be a challenge
Works in a pinch but that’s all
Id go elsewhere

I’m moved from San Francisco not long time ago and shopped at Safeway and many more stores .This store the best store in the area with very attentive workers and managers. It’s a big student population, what its not easy to serve, women with little kids etc. No matter how busy they are general manager Scott, manager of meat department Angie, cashier Rose, just name of few, will find time to answer of a customer.
We all in service of each other, let’s remember to thank people of this Von’s.

Am moving into the area next week but needed to get quick items for dinner today everything was ok until we got into the express lane I encountered a very rude cashier by the name of Nicole when I swiped my Vons club card I proceed to give her 2 forms of payment when I took out cash to give her she «sighed» loudly like Nicole didn’t want to be there or I was taking too long I didn’t want to make a scene but the customer service sucks big time there! Nicole had the same attiude with my aunt who purchased items also…

I Unilocaled the other Vons in San Diego and found 1 other with a lower rating.
This was an injustice that needed to be righted immediately. I am confident that this Vons is the worst one in San Diego County if not the entire state!
I wish I could conduct a double blind experiment to prove this Vons is THE.ABSOLUTE.WORST.
My hypothesis is that unfortunate test subjects exposed to this Vons versus placebo would experience unusual episodes of confusion, followed by frustration and anger.
Effects can last from several minutes to hours or even days depending on esposure.

Good store, they just need to get more organic items in stock. Prices are ok, staff is ok (they hire local high school students). The manager David B. is awesome though, he really cares about the store and customers =)

Poorly managed.
I used to be a fan of this smaller neighborhood grocery store. But over the last year it has gone down hill.
My family is in there every couple of days and now we dread it.
The lines to check out snake back into the isles. It’s a joke standing there as other people try and squeeze through with their carts. Especially those stupid ones with the plastic car on the front for little kids… This store is just to small for those.
The worst part is seeing staff stand around when there are literally 10+ people in the only 2 lines open.
I’m trying to give them money and they act like they are doing me a favor!!!
And as long as I’m being honest, the deli sucks too!!!

Small dingy store. Very limited selection. But worst of all the most terrible employees that have no interest in helping customers. Lazy workers at this store and the Clairemont location. What has happened to Vons? They used to be my favorite grocery store. Something is seriously wrong when I enjoy shopping At Food For Less over this place!
Please bring back the customer service and employees that care about their customers. And to top it off, Von’s does not support their local schools whatsoever. Which in turns means they do not support their community or shoppers.

To everyone writing such a negative review, I don’t know what you’re complaining about. I go to this one all the time and the service has always been great, and while the lines are sometimes long they try their best to make as many registers available as possible. Sometimes they’re just understaffed you impatient people! They always have full stock of what I need and I’ve never had any problems. Maybe the people writing such negative reviews need to realize employees are people too and can’t perfectly serve your needs every time.

It’s a very small grocery store, and my grocery needs are simple. But this store has perhaps the rudest employees on the face of the earth. Based solely on the rude treatment I have received here, I will limit my shopping at other Vons locations, and I will never purchase another item from this one.

First of all this Von’s is not a supermarket, its more like your neighborhood grocery store, which it does fairly well. This is the closest grocery store to my house so I frequent it often and although it doesn’t have a great selection it does have most of the necessities.
I always check the tabloids for deals and they frequently have deals for the family sized meats. Be sure to take advantage of the rain check system. Ever try to get something that’s on sale but there is no more and then you get that, «Damn it…» sensation? Well bad times no more just get a rain check and you can get the item for the same price.
They close early though (12 AM) so if you’re going on a late night beer run you might have to go to the Clairemont CVS or La Jolla Ralphs nearby.
