Safeway

Gourmet taken to a new level. When most think of Dutch harbor, they don’t think of fine dining. I, too, shared this naive mindset until I was introduced to the Safeway Deli in the early spring of 2024. I’ll never forget that first bite. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Too wet, but somehow also too dry. And all crafted with the perfect flavor profile. My friend ordered first and was told they were out of wheat bread. But when I ordered sourdough, they said they actually only had wheat. This only added to the charm of the place. The ambiance was 10/10. The alarm in the kitchen that beeped for 15 minutes continuously blended perfectly with the soothing intercom announcements and the general hustle and bustle of the store. To put it simply, Safeway Deli is the Mecca of all delis. Everyone should make the $3000+ pilgrimage to the Dutch Harbor Safeway at least once.

I just bought a haircut kit in this store when I bought the lady at register told me I can return the it if it not working properly and I tried plugged it in it is not working at all so I come back to return it the lady at customer service she she said there is returning in and she told me to leave the store what kind of horrible store it is I need my refund

This store is always clean and nicely organized. Beyond that it leaves a bit to be desired. First there is NEVER price labels on things. It’s a guess often to how much something costs and it’s usually 30% higher than you anticipate. Meat dept: leaves a lot to be desired. They don’t carry any large cuts of meat so it can be frustrating if you want to have a bbq or birthday party and grill a big piece of meat. We even tried buying several smaller pieces but it was like 1 tri-tip, 1 flank steak, 1 roast. Never 2-5 of the same meat and usually no more than 2-3 lbs. Produce: buyer beware. We are at the end of the chain. Produce goes bad quickly. I just spent $20 on a watermelon. My kids were so excited. We cut it open and it was rotten. Never had that happen before. We had to throw it in the trash. So be prepared to just throw money in the trash when buying produce. Plus everything is crazy expensive! Dairy: no dairy free yogurt. I’ve asked multiple times but nope. Also, don’t buy milk with 50% off stickers. I have done this in other Alaskan Safeways but here it was rotten the moment I opened it, even though it hadn’t yet expired. Check out: most checkers are friendly. They often forget to scan my 50% off stickers even when I tell/show them I have them. They have also several times charged me for bags even though I brought my own. I also think if I am bagging my own groceries I shouldn’t have to pay baggage fees! This is the only Safeway in Alaska I’ve been to that doesn’t have baggers or anyone to help you out.

Very helpful staff. They strive to keep the shelves stocked. Store is clean. Excellent example of what a Safeway store should be.

Well... you're on an island in the middle of the ocean so produce won't always be fresh and prices won't be cheap. Safway doesn't have much control over that. Otherwise its a nice store. they carry the essentials, childrens toys, clothing.

It is indeed expensive (30-50% over mainland price). Given the remoteness of the island, that's to be expected. The fact that a supermarket exists at all here is laudable and it's a nice respite from a long voyage. I just wish they would wipe down the nasty tables and remove expired items from shelves faster. Not removing a star because I'm sure it's a logistical nightmare and they're doing their best.

Great place for all your shopping needs! Wide selection of all meats, fruits and vegetables as well as canned food and Jared food. A very wide and diverse selection of food items.

This Safeway is grocery shopping, tourist trinkets, and food-to-go all in one place. It is clean, the employees are nice, and the selection was really good, especially for the dinner-to-go items!
