The employees here are incredibly nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. I walked in this morning with no appt and they got me right in. The Dr. Is great. She takes the time to explain things and doesnt just rush you in and out. I recommend this place for one because you wont find a better deal around and two because of the staff in the store. I have been a customer at this store for last couple of years and will continue to be a loyal customer.

Very very slow service @ food lines and cash register. Men working at fish counter love mocking guess in in Filipino thinking none Filipinos dont understand what they are saying. The entire staff of the store need a serious lesson in being respectful.

If like Asian foods then this is one of the place that you should check also. They sell good food for a fair price. The place is a bit tight and theres a lot of parking space.

Filipino fast food. Lots of selections and tastes good too. Food to go due to the pandemic. It’s also a market where you can buy Asian-Filipino goods.

This is a good place to get hot Filipino food that tastes authentic. Prices are a little higher than the other local flip food. The market portion has decent stock of imported goods not found in regular grocery stores. Service is slow and going there at the wrong day and time means long waiting and lots of people.

What a bad meal for over 15$, the tofu was burnt and fryed too much, very hard, they were rude, i paid 9$ last month for the same meal, they said the price went up...take a look at rhis egg roll, i had to go give my meal to a homeless person outside, this was my last time shopping there! Please dont go there!

To set expectations, this is a medium sized Filipino/Asian supermarket unlike the huge Seafood City. Nonetheless, they practically have 90% of your usual Filipino faves. Meat and seafood section has less options and selection vs a Seafood City but its good enough. Prices are comparable to its competitors. Parking space is huge for its size. The ready to eat cooked food turo-turo is very good and has so many options, considering its not even a restaurant. The 2nd floor eating area is very clean, has clean rest rooms and has a good size, too. However, bec of the pandemic, they had to close it down temporarily. Overall, I look forward to getting my groceries done here when I want my Filipino food fix!

This is the best grocery store I have ever encountered. Their grocery supplies are of good quality and the staff is very helpful. I like the fresh seafood section and the can goods section, it is well-arranged and organized. The place is very convenient for me and air-conditioned. Thank you very much for always there. Highly recommended!

Still the best deal in town for a 1 item combo of filipino food. Very generous portion of food versus price. Disadvantage is the very long line waiting to order. I wish they offer uber eat, grub hub or Postmates.

We’ve been coming to this restaurant for several years now and as always we expected to find really delicious Filipino delicacies at very affordable price. Servers though might become grumpy at times because of the always busy nature of this business. But the food always compensates for whatever cons one might rarely encounter.

The crowd going inside is controlled. They enforce a no face mask, no entry policy. Food serving is always generous. You can also buy a lot of Filipino items in their mini-grocery as well as a fresh meat and fish section. Sanitizers are generously placed all over. Food of course is authentic Filipino and staff are all very nice.

Place.is disorganized. Although there is a sign and mark on floor for social distancing, space is too crowded and cannot really provide the proper social distancing of at least 6 feet. The space to order food and the space to pay the cashier are too close to each other. Disorganized operation. Food seem good and price is reasonable. Food counter employees are upbeat but the cashier, she seems unhappy/grouchy most of the time.

Very versatile market: limited selections when it comes to meats, seafood and produce, but the quality is very good. They almost always have live blue crabs and oysters for a decent price. The buffet is almost bigger than the market: many selections, and the few Ive tried were surprisingly good (especially the dinuguan). Theres a nearly unused dining area upstairs; most folks get food to go, and after 7 PM (I think), all of the buffet food is half price. Furthermore, the staff is friendly and helpful (and all speak English!).Its a handy location with plenty of parking. I strongly recommend.

It gets crowded at evening. The parking is a challenge sometimes. They have a number tab system which seems slow. You will need patience when a lot of people are there ordering cooked food. They have a clean eating area upstairs. It has a view of the street outside. The grocery is a bit crowded also.

So actually more like 4.5 stars! Our first time here. We dont live in the area, but thought we would give it a try based on the reviews. American Ranch & Seafood Market did not disappoint. A neighborhood institution. apparently has been in business for 20 years. I had the Scallops. My husband had the lamb. Both executed very well. You wont leave hungry. Excellent service!American Ranch & Seafood Market

I dont normally leave reviews. However I did want to share that I really enjoyed my first visit to American Ranch & Seafood Market . Service is great - friendly and attentive. Server mentioned its his first day, all good. It was my and my dates first time as well. Fanny bay oysters to start. I had the seafood stew and date had the salmon. Everything on point, so good! Guess the chef/owner/someone over heard our convo and brought us an order of mussels and said, on the us for your first time joining us. Just as delicious, Im sold, will be coming back! Haha.American Ranch & Seafood Market

There is an endless variety of pork, seafood, beef, goat, chicken, vegetables & other dish cooked & grilled the Filipino way. The price is reasonable & the taste is satisfying & good as well. The drawback is serving time. Expect a wait of 20 minutes or more if you come in around noontime.

Go to place for authentic Filipino food and snacks. They also have a fresh meat and fish market inside. This is a well run establishment with many working in the hot ready food section, though there can be some wait time especially during weekends and meal hours. Everything is served turo-turo style and teres a good comfortable and air conditioned dining area on the upper level should you decide to eat in.

Review №69

I have been coming here since they have opened. I cant say that I have seen much of a change or anything in this place from the first visit to this most recent one. The workers dont all know how to be real professional. They often socialize instead of take care of their customers. The eating area upstairs is convenient for those who need a place to eat rather than just take everything to go. It can be messy, however. Not everyone is thoughtful enough to bus their own trays, dishes, containers, etc. I hate that but what can you do?As far as the food goes, a lot of things are just too oily and too salty for me. Not to mention their combos are often much more expensive than what you think they will be. You can always ask for complimentary sah-bow which would be the broth from one of their soups. I tend to go for the sinigang because I like that little bit of a sour taste that it has. The tinola broth is more of a basic chicken broth. Both are good but the tinola is the more mild in flavor. If youre lucky youll get a tid bit of meat in your soup and maybe some veggies too.They sell some produce and what not but I almost never see anyone buying anything else other than their fast food items. They have a few good dishes but Im just not impressed. Some of the things that we tend to get here include the following:- adobo- dinuguan- menudo- caldereta- lechon- bbq pork- bbq chicken- soups- binangoongan (sp?)- pancit- palabok- sweet and spicy chicken- fresh lumpia- turon- salmon filets- tortangtalong (eggplant w meat, veggies & an made into an omelette)*etcIve never been blown away by anything and things, as I mentioned earlier, are pricy but every once in a blue moon my hubby wants to come here to get something hes craving. Ive never craved anything from here but I can say that the few things that remain consistent include their kinda terrible service, poor attitudes and the taste and flavor of their sinigang, tinola, adobo & beef steak. The soups are good and I could honestly leave the rest.The beef steak always looks promising. There is a little bit of a gravy like sauce to it that always calls my name but whenever I have ordered it the meat is tough if not cold. The sauce is too salty and there isnt really a flavor. You may as well call this dish cold tough beef in salty sauce. Ugh!Oh, and what I was talking about when I said that the employees dont know how to act professionally, I was referring to 2 different incidences where the manager asked an employee to stay and the employee had been asking for more hours and what not. . . the manager asked them to stay later than they were supposed to but the employee ended up begging to leave. That was strange, to say the least. The employee said that they wanted more hours and that they needed to make more money because they had family bills to take care of. Within a few minutes, as I was waiting for my number to be called so that I could be helped along the line to create my meal combo for my hubby, I also heard the manager tell that associate that he could give them another 2 hours for the day, to help them make some more money and because it was busy in the store. Strange. The associate said no. They said that they were going to be picked up at a certain time and that they had no other ride. So, they werent going to stay. They stayed a few minutes past their shift and then ended up begging to clock out because their ride would be waiting for them. This was all going on while the associate was helping customers. WTH?!?! It was terrible not to mention pathetic looking. Sorry but I hope the manager doesnt offer them more time after they tried to pull this. Strange!!

After I scarfed down all the uraro cookies and hopia dice that my girlfriends parents brought home to her from their vacation in the Philippines, I was charged with the duty of finding some uraro cookies and hopia in order to regain the affection of my True Love. I was so glad to discover an authentic Filipino grocery store within the area, especially once I found it to be stocked with several brands of hopia and a few brands of uraro cookies, including the brand brought from the islands.I found the staff to be incredibly understanding and helpful, which helped make my visit a total success.Thanks a ton, American Ranch & Seafood Market!

I have been going to this market to buy food to go for years. The usual wait time to get served in this place is anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. However, today I waited 1 hour, if it is not for my son who is sick wanting their pork bbq, I would have walked out. There was only one food server and on my way out I saw the grade C posted conspicuously among other poster signs.
