Anyone who is dark skinned like myself and don't speak spanish the employees at this store are very rude and disrespectful to dark skinned people like myself. Just today I asked this dude name juan with green eyes who speaks spanish for cash back the amount was 24.00 right. So this dude didn't want to do this transaction because I'm a dark skinned man and don't speak Spanish. The employees at this store only caters to hispanic and white people and love giving people of dark skin and hard time and the blues even if they have money to pay for there items!!! That's shows racism to the max but they have the nerve to say that there being discriminated Yeah right try again!!! ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS AND WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND!!! A BUNCH OF LIARS AND RACIST WHITE SPANISH SPEAKING PEOPLE!!!

I visited Food City for the first time , two Sundays ago. I went because I read that meats were cheap and boy was I in for a surprise!!! I found a sweet deal for 19.99, which is a huge box containing approx 15 lbs of assorted meat. Separately laid out within the box, was chicken, ground beef, steak (forgot which part) and pork loins. What a beautiful deal!!! Nothing beats it. As for the other items in the store, I thought t was highly expensive, and I do not care much for their bakery section. I brought two pieces of cakes there, and I should not have as it seems they weer sitting their all day. I got home within 45 minutes of my purchases and they were like rocks. Not cool. But if it were dependent soley on the meats, Food city would get 5 stars from me.!!!!

  • Yvonda Schermerhorn

Bought groceries wanted a half of pound of there Checaron s for taco 699 a pound. The two ladies behind the counter just gave me the juice I explained if I am paying too can I get the cheating meat instead of juice but the juice equaled 5.99 in price. They were clearly upset talking to themselves in Spanish about me. I know Spanish and funny thing is working on Eddie Bashas Attempt at being Arizona' Governor he tolerated no bad customer service or any prejudice while is what I got. I have been going to that food City on McDowell and 16 st. Over 35 years as well. Just horrible explained to the manager. No effort to make it right. Where is what made our state strong Eddie Basha was one of the Pioneer s its a shame.

  • Shannon Goddard

The staff at the deli are so unbelievably rude that even though I obtained permission to use the water and ice from the soda fountain I was stopped by another employee who had run to the child of a store manager and they actually invited me to use a water fountain. I have no issue with this however it was completely unsanitary and unsafe for human (or for that matter animal) consumption. All of this taking place right after I had just spent $80 on food and household goods here. I am a regular customer here. My family has been coming to this location to shop well before it was ever a Food City... back when it was a Bashas. I spend at least $350 here a month. I expect better service than this.

  • George Ochoa

The over all experience at check out is average, employees look tired and are not so friendly but what got them this low low rate is after several visits the made fresh boot is always bad, employees are rude (except one younger lady) they keep you waiting, they are rude and are tightwad when you ask for anything you may need such as extra plate or whatever, rice is kind if not included with the cocido unless is dumped into it, otherwise there is a charge. Eating area is mostly dirty even when there is no customers at the counter, thus is a general, every day attitude ☆ Other wise stire is clean and well organized but definitely not Bashas stzndard

  • Anna Hernandez

The store was small and as soon as we got out of the car a somebody was running towards us trying to sell us something. Kinda creepy. A bunch of the sale items were gone. The customer service was awful. It was stinky and dirty. As we approach our car somebody else runs towards us trying to sell us something. We were parked underneath the covered parking. It seemed as though they were waiting for people getting in and out of the vehicles. Other shoppers were also startled by the approaching people selling things. It was real weird. I doubt we will go back there. So be careful.

  • Becky Bernstein

I had to wait over 10 min at the register trying to pay for my few items because of the equipment at the register. The computer was flashing a message across the register screen to shut the cash drawer and the register drawer was securely shut. The checker decided to reboot the whole Windows application and we had to wait for the whole thing to restart and that took a while. I also couldn't find a employee who spoke English and I had to find the item without any information on whether or not the store even carried it.

  • Clifford Alvarez

Had a delightful shopping experience at Food City. From the moment I stepped in, the warm atmosphere made me feel welcome. Explored their diverse selection of fresh produce and was amazed by the variety. The staff was incredibly helpful – I was looking for a specific ingredient, and they guided me right to it. The highlight was their authentic Mexican bakery section – the aroma was irresistible. Can't wait to try the fresh tortillas and pastries I got. Food City is my new go-to for genuine food finds!

  • Kennan Francis Parish

It was my first time shopping at this Food City, and I was and completely taken back by the size of the store, the fantastic selection of produce, the wide variety of everything that you could possibly need. Not to mention it was and is the cleanest grocery store that I have been in for quiet some time. The staff and associates were also the highlight of my experience. Cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable and courteous from start to finish. I am going to make this my one stop shopping grocery store!

  • Bean Cain

Usually longer waits to check out due to there only being one or two cashier's staffed at a time. Not a very big selection and they do have some decent deals at times. Waiting to get a money order does take longer then necessary and the check cashing window seems to have issues regularly with their systems being down. The management and staff have a tendency to be rude but have come across one or two kind and helpful employees. Would suggest only stopping when it's slow otherwise you will wait

  • Queen Eater

Me and my husband is in town on business and we went grocery shopping here and I can honestly say it's definitely better then any store in Atlanta ga hands down. Omfg the meat selection are amazing you here me. I got ground beef all natural pork chops all natural ribeye steaks (nice sizes) and all natural chicken legs for $19.99 yes $20 dollars bacon thick cut was only $3.99 thanks for giving us an amazing experience. We had a delicious breakfast because of this store

  • Lorenzo Lopez

This store is really close to my parents house so my 60 year old mother goes walking there often and there is more than one cashier that refuses to take her coins as a form of payment. If I know who these cashiers are I will be placing a complaint with corporate. Coins are a valid form of payment it does not matter if they don’t have space in their drawer for them or not!!!! As soon as my mother tells me their names I will file the complaint.

  • Dave 15017

Attention any customers for Metro PCS do not attend that place because they will do fraud if you are trying to get a device that you already owned. they were going to charge me over three hundred bucks just to get my Galaxy S7 Edge online I went to a different retailer and they only charged me $15 for the SIM card MetroPCS please choose your staff carefully there are so many insipid people who do not understand what they do

  • Delia Sanchez

Haven't been there in along time..what i saw ..was nice..clean..polite employees..especially...the lady in the bakery ...didnt speak English..but that was no problem..i speak both languages..very helpful...the store manager..Mr.Slavador..was just has helpful...nice to go in a store where employees greet u instead...of being ignored....THANK YOU FOOD CITY ...for having employees like these 2 that helped

  • Winsetta Franklin

I think it's by far the cleanest Food City in Phoenix that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. I think they're customer service the ladies on the register are super nice, I experienced a lady once that was kind of rude didn't speak didn't say anything but the person behind me she was super friendly so I decided to give it another chance and I think just maybe that lady was having a bad day.

  • Adela Medina

Really more of a last minute grocery store if I need something that I ran out of to prepare dinner. This place is not always clean. Not very welcoming either. Not to mention the security guard seems to racial profile people and follow them around the store in a not so subtle way. He is always just sitting in his chair, but if a black person walks in he follows them around the store.

  • Geanette Garcia

Leche cake is bomb...but their fresh package meat (chicken) looks big & hunky (like it's on steriods) The pork chops are good and the produce is reasonable. I buy most of my seasonings from here. The deli's Hot Coffee is good and some of the deli food I've eaten was also good. And the store is clean and the cashiers are nice. This is my experience because I shop here.

  • Debbie Martinez

This place has always been my go to for my hatch green Chile because they roast it for you but this time for some reason they are not very customer friendly. They seem to be lazy hey I did by 2 sacks of Chile at 26.00 per sack it's the least they could do is roast it I usually buy 5 sacks from them and send everyone I know there but time to find another place to shop.

  • All We Are Is Content

So we used to buy our Cochins and our cookies and sweet breads from ranch market and do most of our shopping there until we found this little gem in food city. Their bakery department is absolutely fresh. Everything is me daily opposed to weekly, which is a really really awesome thing and staff is so great and the prices are perfect there and it's not gentrified.

  • courtney kurtenbach

This is a great place to shop. They have great prices on produce and have a good selection of food. They also have an SRP pay center which is very convenient for me. The staff tends to be on the reserved side but that's not a huge deal for me. I'm there to get in and get out So I don't really care but it would be nice if they were a bit more friendly.

  • Dev Alm

There is an SRP M-Power located inside and that is always nice. However the place is always really crowded, and the staff are usually so busy that they aren't really much help customer service wise. It is really loud here, and can make shopping uncomfortable and irritating. I wouldn't recommend this place. The only positive is the covered parking lot.

  • Anna Esparza

Just got the worst customer service at their Deli! Which sucks because their food is soo good! They were bothered to help me out and more busy talking between them, the lady trew my receipt and change in the counter without even telling me to have a good day or at least thank you! It's really sad because it's the only location close to me!

  • Vanessa Randall

I miss shopping here, as I have moved. This store was always open to ordering an item, for me, that I had seen in another store. In addition, when my van had a flat, I was able to pull into the parking lot and the Store Manager came out and helped me change the tire. I was extremely grateful, as I couldn't remove the lug nuts.

  • Adam Gonzales

There's always a line here. The constant lines could be managed better if the hot food bar and bakery staff learned teamwork and helped the rest of the cashiers. I've even taken a pastry to the hot food bar and was turned away and told to go to the bakery. Seriously? You can't just ring me up? Annoying.

  • John Doughnut

Love this place! Always my go to when I need a quick grab and go when I'm late on making dinner... also the workers are so friendly. Once they start seeing long lines they always open up other registers to help it go faster! Food has great prices and very good quality we always shop for meat there!

  • Jamin Dryden

Ghetto-fied store management at it's worst. These people are no help to anyone this store is not worth visiting at all. Don't try to use the benefits that most stores accept here. If you do not like being talk down to and talk to like you are and illiterate jackass this is the place to shop.

  • Arturo 13

Food city is great for out of the ordinary items that you cannot find at fry's bashes or any other store !!! The staff is very,courteous and very informative About the items they have in their store. For groceries cheaper than any other store in The Valley You get more for your .... …

  • anthony ciro

Great place, meat, chicken, etc all really good, even cooked food is really good. Mexican, Latin specialties all delicious. Shop here, not for everything on your shopping list but for how fresh & homemade good it is! Tje employees are very helpful as well.

  • LightlySalted Calming Vlogs and ASMR

Average supermarket. Good environment and, the prices aren't really competitive but, nonetheless if you're in a pinch it'll do. They do overprice some commodities there such as coffee and, sometimes soap. I'd go to Ranch Market for those.

  • Laura Cruz

I bought the prepared masa for my tamales here! Better tasting than at any other store, and priced .80 cents cheaper a lb. I will be going back for more masa soon! Their meat prices and quality of meat are also good!! I love food city!!

  • 918 Scott

Nice people but Slooooow. 15 min in line to get 2 bottles of soda. Only 2 people in front of me. No sense of urgency. I thought Safeway on 7th Street McDowell was slow.. ugggg. First and last visit here. Sorry, never going back.

  • Yessi

Chicken last couple of times have been spoiled, I know (dates) are in correctly.. ..for fact when cooking should not tastes or smell bad after cooking,I've had family and party and was very bad thats in one day. …

  • Joe Will

They do got good prices but the problem is that the check out line is always an issue. Sometimes there's only one cashier and standing in line seems like for ever. That's why I sometimes hate shopping there.

  • Mike Mcgriff

Definitely a good Mexican food store. Get the crispies from the deli you will not be disappointed. We buy all of our chips and taco/tostada shells from here. Definitely get the chips they make in the store.

  • Samuel Guerra

Went here to eat. Out of Carne arsada okay, bought there red chilli. Not that great. Then charged for refill, really? Only place that charged for refill and employee was rude about it! Not coming back!

  • T A

Great meat counter service. The younger girl working a register in the front of the store was super moody. Maybe she just had a bad day?? We said hello and asked how her day was and she just glared.

  • K. Jackson

Food City is dirty, completely disorganized, pricing is deceptive, and there isn't employee's to assist you or care to do so... Never will I ever return to Food City because they are disgusting!

  • James Deddo

Clean beautiful selection. Food is fresh, low priced, well displayed. Love shopping here. Go to interior lunch counter for samples. Leave happy, full with a trunk full of goodness for the week.

  • Tiffany Moss
