Market's like Bob's are some of my favorite market's. Bob's is great for the deli, along with the prepared foods.
When I need staple items, I go to the big chains. But, Bob's is special for certain items that you cannot find in your chain grocery stores.
Something about independent grocery stores.
The service here is excellent. The deli is excellent, the prepared food is excellent. The liquor selection is excellent.
I always make it a point to visit independent grocery stores when I travel.
Bob's is always great!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sep 9, 2023
A true NEIGHBORHOOD MARKET, which is becoming rare in this age of corporate stores. A gem!
Prices are competitive with the supermarkets, maybe slightly higher but not significantly. Worth it.
Full deli and butcher.
Good organic produce.
Great service. Pleasant vibe.

We were heading home after a short visit to help the kids with the grandkids this week. After dropping off our grandson at his school we thought before heading back to Sherman Oaks we should pick up our lunch for the road. I saw as we drove by "Deli" on the side of the building, we did a quick U-turn. It was early as in 9am, but hope springs eternal the deli would be open.
Walk in to a clean, organized old school style grocery store. The way I remember as a kid, where you know the employees because they've all worked there for awhile. The deli dude greeted us and was patient as we looked at all the choices. So nice and helpful, I looked at all the salads and they looked freshly made! Even that green jello looked intriguing.
While my husband ordered his sandwich, I wandered and looked down some of the isles. There were some of the employees stocking, and everything was stocked so nicely. All the fruit looked beautiful, such a nice place to shop and you could see the care taken in the store.
Wish I had a store like this in my neighborhood. Good find!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 28, 2023
When we lived in Sunset Park, this was our "go to" market for soo many groceries... the best meats, sausages, egg salad behind the counter and the hot food too! Everyone was always so friendly and it was the best experience always... years later, IT STILL ROCKS!
I went there the other day and although prices have risen, the vibe and the quality has remained fabulous!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Jul 30, 2023
For anyone who lives nearby this place is a gem. It's so easy to run in and out and get the essentials. What I particularly like is their "butcher shop" since they carry high quality meats here. They also have some of the best fried chicken here too. I like to buy it hot, then later eat it cold from the fridge. The staff here are very friendly.

I checked it out after church service on the way back. It looks old outside, yet pretty bright and new inside surprisingly.
This seems one of the faves of the locals. As a new resident here, I am trying to explore the surroundings and I happen to see this and its coupon in the mail.
The food quality is actually good, the display is pleasing, and the wine selection is addiction. I browse through it, and I have seen some amazing differences here such as bean sprout can be purchase based on the weight. That is unique and good as I always have throw away half away if I buy a full bag.
The only drawback is the prices are on the higher side especially for me who is trying to prepare for the upcoming inflation and possibly recession, I am watching my spending to save as much as I can for kids' college and future weddings. But Santa Monicans are not affected by it as it seems, which is good.
The best part is the service. I just look at the meat for 2 seconds and 3 people ask me whether I need help, if I do, let them know right away. The service and courtesy is amazing, the best I have seen around town so far.
I do wish I have better economic status to feel nothing to buy here, but at this present moment, I will just look.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 12, 2022
Such a cool old school market. My friend who lives near this establishment said it had an OG meat counter. Indeed it did and the offerings were excellent. House made sausages and freshly ground prime beef. The steak selection was top notch. Would certainly repeat for grilling meats. 100% recommended!!

From the street this market looked nothing special. We went in just to check while we have time to kill until the soccer game starts. It was Sunday .
We walked into the isle direct from the entrance door guessing this must be one of small neighborhood market. We were surprised of their wine selections! I even took some photos.. Well organized. Well displayed.
The whole market was super clean. By the way I checked cleanness always.
Walked around a few times. Like other reviewers said it's old school style market, sometimes we are wondering how can they survive against Costco or Trader Joe's, etc.
Picked the wines in cute bottles.
Didn't try deli or bbq. Maybe next time.
For another soccer game in Santa Monica we will come Bob's definitely.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Julie S.Malibu, CA885038Jun 11, 2023
