The deli/bakery have the nicest people! The sandwiches are the best and freshly made to order with better pricing than other places on base. Plus they have a Sushi bar and will take custom orders. Hot rotisserie chickens! Party Trays cheaper then downtown!

Fully stocked grocery store. Good experience.

Great prices on produce and other items, but I can’t say the same about freshness.

Deals are okay. Meat selection is pretty dismal and the produce goes bad within a couple days. In the summer they need more AC because it's really hot. Baggers only work for tips which is so terrible. Generally clean and the associates are very friendly.

This is a grocery store on a military base which means you must show identification to enter. To be eligible for grocery shopping individuals must be veterans or active duty service members.

They were out of beef,chicken, and other meat products for about 3 weeks. This was no fault on them. The delivery truck was not cold enough, so the food inspector had to stop the delivery.

Went into the Commissary looking for a rib roast for my Thanksgiving dinner.They didn't have any on display. I asked Michael and he was quick to take care of me with friendly great service. He boned and tied it for me. Then he provided some cooking suggestions. Very impressed with his knowledge. Im a very pleased customer.Thank you.Jonathan L

Making tamales and they had pretty much everything that I needed. They have rotisserie chickens, they come at a great price, and the meat is amazing! Would definitely recommend going, although I will note they are not taking contact less payment right now. So just be prepared with card or cash!

The commissary here in 29 palms is actually very great for military families. They have such amazing prices for most products. I just wish they had more asian foods and veggies

A good size. The only complaint I have is they are often out of some things.

5 days a week for the last year, if I could be a grocery store regular, this would be the place. Great cashiers who treat you like family. Almost everything is always in stock and rarely is it hard to find someone when you need help locating something. Great selection too! Big fan!

This commissary is one of the nicest I have seen so far! The staff is also extremely kind, which makes a huge difference! It also seems like the shelves are well stocked and the food is fresh. I haven’t personally used their curbside pick up, but I plan on trying it in the future. Parking is also very easy at this location!Welcome to Twentynine Palms!!!

Great prices and selection, a valued military benefit. Worth driving a few miles out of your way for the savings.November 2022 update... No significant change. Not many missing items. Prices have gone up like they have everywhere. Worth checking out.

No taxes, yeah that's definitely a bonus, very large variety! Lots of fresh produce! Tons of products you'll actually use and less of the things you never want!

The deli department is great but the fresh produce section needs some work with keeping their products fresh. And it also needs a better selection for the meat section which is usually out of everything. It use to be great when i was here 3 years ago but i don't know what changed but now it seems below standard.

Is this place open to the public or is just for military?

Love the staff, they're always very friendly and they never give me a hard time when I use coupons (which is rare at most stores). My only complaint is that the produce and meat selections are usually really poor quality. I've purchased meats and fruits from there on a few occasions, only to get home and find out they're spoiled. I also agree that stocking seems to be an issue, the last two times I've gone shopping there was almost no milk left and most of it was fat free.

On average, I seem to spend around 50 to 60 dollars less at the commissary than I do at Stater Bros. for the same amount of groceries.The employees and non-employee baggers are always friendly, respectful, and helpful. A big plus is that, for some reason, I feel safer shopping on the Marine base.

Friendly customer service, the store itself is well organized, fresh and very clean smelling. You can tell that they take alot of pride in their Commissary! Another 10 Star Rating we think 🤔!

Love the convenience and the process. However there is always a chance that some of the more common items will be out of stock. The staff is friendly and the prepared foods are great but they need to fix their stocking issue.

Decent Commissary selection for the middle of the desert. Generally good fresh fruit and veggies and even meat, and always find some treats when it comes to their special sections like Japanese curry and rice and even German foods. I don’t usually find the place too busy, except maybe later evenings on the weekends, or lunch hour during the week there’s usually a wait at the fresh deli and sandwich counter. And fresh sushi is fantastic! Thanks to Covid-19, sometimes shelves are empty and delayed being refilled, especially when it comes to eggs, cheese, and water (but we’ve always managed to find TP at least). The next closest grocery would be Starter Bros and a DG Market. A huge Walmart with groceries and a Vons can be found down the way about 20-30min from base, in Yucca Valley.I also wanted to add that they now offer curbside pickup which started Sept 2021. Real convenient! The only struggle I’ve faced is when they do a substitute and it’s not something I would have chosen, you’ll have to go in the physically return items at the customer service window, and most of the time you won’t catch it until you’re already home and putting everything away. I hope they’ll update the system to one day be close to something like WalMart has where you can choose to decline a substitute chosen ahead of time.

The commissary has many options that the MCX does not, such as produce, fresh meat, a much wider variety of snacks, foods and drinks. There is also a much wider variety of cleaning supplies and such. Easy in, easy out. Great prices, and a very friendly staff!

Way over priced, especially around pay day, 1st and 15th of the month. Prices increase with anticipation of pay day. Produce is good quality, slim choices.Example of price increases:Facial masks in beginning of COVID were about $6-8 per packNow, same pack, $16...If it wasn't so convenient I would take my business elsewhere.

Good prices on some items, however, we are still experiencing issues with most produce molding or rotting just a few days after purchase. Also double check the food you buy for expiration dates!!

The Commissary Officer here is awesome!!! She is tentative to customer concerns and request. She is helpful and really care about the military families. She is leading this commissary into a positive direction. I have seen a lot of changes for the better as how the store was in the past

Every employee I have met has been extremely nice, and the prices are good. The deli and the sushi are wonderful. However, the produce is not always the freshest.

There’s one lady that works at the deli. I don’t know her name, but she’s a white female with reddish tinted hair. She’s on the big side, height 5’5 in her mid 40’s. She was really rude, nasty, and obnoxious yet condescending. It’s a long story to tell, but you get the picture. The manager wasn’t there to be found.Also, there’s the blond hair dude that doesn’t give you what requested and he’s super lazy. On numerous occasions he’s been like that. He doesn’t give you any eye contact, no smile, thank you, or, “Hi, how may I help”, or bye. It seems he doesn’t like working there at all in my opinion.Rest of the staff are super sweet.It was a bad day for me being there and hate being treated that way and I wish no one goes through this experience. Managers need to step up their game.
