Amazing Delivery and Friendly Service 3/9/2010

I called Bob's when I was incredibly sick with a miserable cold. They were so kind and delivered my tissues, cold medications, oranges and other groceries within an hour. I cannot say how much this helped me out when I was feeling so terrible. I've shopped there in the past for meat and produce and have always enjoyed the experience. Bob's really is an old fashioned family market that truly caters to its customers. I don't think I'll ever step foot in a large chain market again. Thanks to everyone at Bobs!! more

Attitude 10/16/2009

I used to love bobs market. Great selection. good single beers, although the other day i went in to get some bananna's. Upon purchasing bananna's i asked if i could have change for a $20. The manager that was working the register told me i could get some in the adjacent office. I went to the office and kindly asked who appeared to be the owner and his wife for change. The wife, looking me up and down made a smug remarke at my expense "maybe you should get a quarter for the trip" she explaimed to her husband. The owner then told me "we arent here for change. thats what banks are for." and reluctantly gave me my change. After eight years of bobs market I believe i'll take my business elsewhere. I think this smug high horse holier than thou attitude is what santa monica is trying to shed. You should be ashamed bobs market. more

The best family-owned market on the west side 1/10/2009

We live very close to Bob's Market and other than Costco I never shop anywhere else. The butcher counter is amazing - they will cut and prepare things exactly the way you want it, they will special order things they don't normally carry, and the service is outstanding. They also make their own sausages, which are fantastic. Pros: Stellar butcher, great service, no lines, good parking more

Modern Market and Old Fashioned Service 5/1/2008

Can't find a product? The friendly people at Bob's will order it for you. The staff is knowledgeable and service is quick and friendly. The meat department and wine selection always has a good selection at decent prices. A neighborhood market in the best sense of the word. more

best meat in Santa monica 4/30/2008

The meat department at Bob's Market is the best I have ever used! They buy their meats from the same suppliers as Whole Foods but charge a lot less! And the wine selection is terrific! We love the little old fashioned grocery store. They are truly a part of our community. more

BEST MEAT and NICEST BUTCHERS in TOWN!!! 11/16/2006

From the outside, Bob's looks like a sort of large 'convenience' store place. But inside...wow...the greatest! The selection is select -- that is they carry a little bit of everything, good brands and high quality. But what is OUTSTANDING is the fantastic MEAT AND FISH department. The butchers are great individuals. And they actually REMEMBER the customers. It is the find of the city.... more

Great Store 5/25/2006

I went to school across the street from this place. They had a great staff, great prices and great food. They often supported our school by donating food, sponsoring us and helping the community. It is a small place so the staff is consistent and the people are great. They have a great Deli and a great friendly atmosphere. They do make students remove their backpacks at the door due to shoplifting but that is understandable. They carry some hard to find items like Jones Soda and have an excellent seasoned turkey Deli meat! more

  • I started working in my fathers store in Venice in 1940, and it seemed so comfortable, it just made sense to eventually start my own store. In 1965, we found this property, and it became the first Bob's Market. Our focus has always been to serve the needs of our neighborhood and it is a joy. I'm happy to be with my family and the friends we've made over the years. There are people who I've seen coming to the store since they were children. Now they're grown up and are starting to bring their own kids here. That's very special to me. When you know people for that long, you are going to be able to anticipate the kinds of things they want. You won't find the kind of flexibility and custom orders we offer at those big corporations. Because of that, there will always be a place for independent markets.
