Best produce and meat in the area aside from farmers markets, hands down. Find nearly all my ingredients for cooking fine foods here. Always clean, the staff is helpful and courteous
Cant give a place zero stars is not cool. My wife was walking through the store looking for the baby isle while pushing our stroller with our newborn baby sleeping in it and she was followed the entire time by their security team until they came behind her and helped themself to see if there was a baby or not. When they saw there was a baby they were shocked and quickly left us alone. This is absolutely absurd to me that this happen. Who do you even talk to about this. Google Reviews I guess. Trying to find the name of their security and the persons responsible.
Every Bel-Air/Raleys is different when it comes to stocked items, one always has another doesn't. Frustrating. Organic Raleys cold pressed Pear juice is hardly ever in stock at some locations especially the Fair Oaks n Walnut location closest to home. Hope mgmt reads these.
I've been eating a salad a day at work for a couple weeks now. And in the morning I get out of the house a bit early to swing by the grocery stores to pickup a salad. I was going to Safeway, but Noticed that there salads were not as fresh, I would see the same salad pushing through the expiration date.So I decided to go here instead. I'm glad they open at 6. There are more choices here and other things that are ready to eat as well. I picked up a Greek type salad, for 6 bucks. It was good. Ill go again to try the other ones. I love not having to bag my own things for a change and the employees are all friendly
Great store, of course part of the Raley's family it's expected. As a huge produce fan, I am never disappointed in the quality and selection at both Raley's and Bel Air. You will pay a little more but you can count on your produce purchase not being a disappointment.
This review applies ONLY to Bel Air's holiday Prime Rib Dinner.Overall, Bel Air/Manzanita is always a positive shopping experience. It's produce and meat usually surpass its competitors, and the Manzanita store has some exceptional folks working in its grocery sections.After 3 days in a row of hosting family holiday dinners, we decided to give ourselves a break and purchased Bel Air's Prme Rib Dinner. We carefully read the directions for temperatures and cooking times, and anticipated a tasty, carefree meal. Unfortunately, this was not to be. Carefree yes; tasty, no.The scalloped potatoes were a disappoinment; especially when compared to Costco's equivalent offering. Rather bland. The sweet potato casserole was another fail. While its arils and pecans added a colorful touch, it too, was bland. Finally melted a tablespoon of butter, mixed with a teaspoon of maple syrup, and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper to liven them up a bit. The brocollini was adequate.The biggest disappointment of all was the prime rib itself. We cooked it medium rare, expecting a juicy, tender entree, testing it with a meat thermometer, and removing it from the oven at 120 degrees. Then, as per instructions, let it sit for 10 minutes. Instead, we ended up eating the toughest prime rib we've ever had.Many/most oven-cooked prime rib recipes recommend cooking the roast at 500 degrees for the first 10-15 minutes to sear the meat, then lower the temperature to 325-350 degrees for the remainder of the cooking time. Bel Air's instructions stated to cook it at 350 degrees in its entirety; therefore, not allowing it to sear and seal in its juices as it cooked. Perhaps this is why it was so tough??We had high hopes for this dinner. With this latest Covid variant, it is not easy to dine out for a nice meal; however, this was no substitute, and sadly, definitely not a repeat.
Friendly employees when picking up preordered turkey dinner. Only one issue was there electric handicapped shopping carts. Once I sat down I was literally trapped. I wasn't able to retrieve any items off the shelves and had to ask others shopping to hand me items that were out of reach. When I finished shopping and was at my vehicle it took at least five minutes to get out of the cart because the steering column is to close to the seat and doesn't allow a person to get their leg through this area of the cart. I had to take off my shoe and was finally able to twist my foot enough to get my leg to the other side. Then I had to use the opening on the back of my vehicle for leverage to pull myself up to a standing position. The employee helping me asked if he could get my 2 canes for me that I had learned against my vehicle during this embarrassing ordeal. He was very helpful. Bel Air needs to update their electric carts to a larger model like the other stores have, such as Walmart, Safeway, Costco, Trader Joe's and Joanns Fabric store.
Was given a gift card and I went to 2 Peet's Coffee and my gift card was denied. I'm like wth! So unfair, it's still Pete's
I love this store! Yes the prices are high but they have high quality food. The meat and seafood, and counter is exceptional! The produce is unbelievable! We made nachos with the ingredients we picked up and they were restaurant quality! This is my favorite Bel Air in the 916
This is one of the best of the local Bel air / raley's markets! Bel air has always been a good market but some of them raley's, Bel air have become less desirable. This Carmichael store seems to maintain good selection kind clerks and most of the things that you want to pick up. I have yet to find Clorox wipes at of the raley's Bel air market s. But you got to consider the covid...
