Our Guestbook
“ Best fresh meat, poultry, seafood, and deli departments in area. People are friendly and helpful. Great for "special occasions" as well as everyday meals. Special shout out to their floral department they make our home beautiful for holidays. Love this grocer and pleased they are in our neighborhood. ”
“ Great service at deli and meat/fish counters. High prices but very good quality, especially meats. ”
“ In my experience Diablo Foods is the 1950's Customer Service Experience Not only is the butcher department has the best meats I have ever tasted but has the service with a smile. I have never witnessed such kind service with a smile as when I went to Deli and butcher shop and when I went to check out I had a kind employee with a smile give my food to the cashier who also gave me service with a smile. I have never seen a grocery store with quality meats and products serve the customer with a smile And treat the customer with so much respect and kindness This grocery store is by far my favorite and the only grocery store that I shop. It's so nice to go to a grocery store and get 1950's service. Thank you Diablo Store for being the store that you are. I give Diablo Foods Grocery store 10 Star ”
“ 10/10 of a sandwich. I ate here for lunch, I live in the area and just realized what I've been missing out on for years. ”
“ The best grocery store by far in the east bay. Everyone who works at the butcher section is legit. ”
“ Great selection, quality food and the people are always helpful and friendly. This is exactly what you want your local grocery store to be. We price tested vs Whole Foods for the same basket and Diablo was lower. Our local favorite. ”
“ It's like a small scale Whole Foods. It caters to affluent people. The food quality is super high. One of the deli staff members was super nice to me, it caught me off guard because I live in Fresno where people in customer service seem miserable. ”
“ Pretty decent prepped food. We ordered out for a large party and was quite pleased. Overall food was well seasoned, something simple that not everyone does right. Ribs were decently smokey, meaty, tender not tough, with seasoning on the sweet side. Honestly slightly better than some BBQ places I've been to. Mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery. Roasted chicken was juicy, but fairly standard flavor profile. Nothing standout but still fine if you need a generic dish for basic people. ”
“ Staff is super friendly. A good selection of beer and alcohol. Jim is hella cool. Johnny is cool af. The cashiers are cool, the guys at the deli and butcher shop are cool af, too. Everyone is cool af. Not the largest grocery store--only 10 aisles, but the selection of grocery is pretty good. Not a lot of asian foods if that's what you're shopping for. The soups are great, too. Clam chowder friday/saturday, and chicken tortilla/pozole thursdays. ”
“ This review is only for their Pecan Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was mind-blowingly delicious and reminded me of a pecan pie but in a bread pudding format. They used bread with a thick crust (like sourdough) , which I though would not work for bread puddings but I was happily proven wrong. The tougher crust added some nice texture to the bread pudding to balance out the bread on the inside that had been softened by the custard. I believe it was priced $13, which is a bit on the higher side, but I would get this again given how delicious it was. ”
