The Roseville, CA location of Raley's O-N-E Market is one of the latest stores of 200+ stores to open in northern and central California. Raley's O-N-E Market is primarily a full-service supermarket, but it has a couple of things that no other grocery store offers in Placer County: Full service deli and a BEER and WINE bar! Yowza!! As with all restaurant reviews I publish, I have no affiliation with the restaurant reviewed, and there is no monetary gain on my part, as I am simply a person who likes to eat, and I love to write-up, and publish my dining experiences.
Photo: It's a little past 10:00 o'clock in the morning, Friday, November 17, 2023, and I've arrived at Raley's O-N-E Market, located on Blue Oaks Blvd. in Roseville, CA. The supermarket opens at 06:00 in the morning, but the beer bar doesn't open until 10:00... hence my arrival at this late hour. How many supermarkets in Placer County, and in the greater Sacramento area feature a beer bar? Not many... but you can count on Raley's O-N-E Market to enjoy craft beer on tap, along with a modest selection of wine. Back on Thursday, June 16, 2022, I had the pleasure to attend the grand opening of this amazing supermarket and to post the first review of the restaurant website Yelp. I posted an article on this website, so CHECK IT OUT ON THIS LINK.
Photo: The beer and wine bar, along with the most expansive deli in the area not only set this supermarket apart from others, but it offers comfortable seating in an expansive dining room, located inside. Patio dining is offered as well.
Photo: From the dining room, you can check out the par, where wine and beer is served, known as "Taps." Wine and beer are served every day, beginning at 10:00 in the morning, and served all day until closing time.
Photo: The beer menu is posted on a video board, located above the bar, and lists a modest selection of craft beer, brewed in Northern and Central California. Note the price of $5.00 for a 16-oz draft, which is DOLLARS below of what you'd pay in a local bar or restaurant.
Photo: My friendly bartender, Ethan, pours me a frosted glass of Fort Rock Foggy Goggles ale, from the tap. The beer is brewed semi-locally in Ranch Cordova, in Sacramento County.
Photo: Meet my amazingly friendly bartender, Ethan, who presented my frosted glass of ale to me with a very happy face. Like all of the staff members at Raley's O-N-E Market, he treated me like a member of his family.
Photo: I raise a glass and toast my friendly bartender Ethan, Raley's O-N-E Market, and life in general, on this amazing late Friday morning in mid-November. From the tap, I went with a standard 16-oz frosted glass of Fort Rock Foggy Goggles, which is a "hoppy" Imperial IPA, brewed semi-locally in Rancho Cordova, in the greater Sacramento, CA area. It's a strong ale, with an alcohol content of 8.9%, which made me not only feel great, but made me happy that I was walking home and not driving. The ale has a full-bodied taste, it hits you like a hammer, and if you love the taste of hops, you'll love this ale. Personally... I LOVE it!
Photo: The covered patio located in front of the store is surrounded by a low fence, so it's "state legal" to enjoy a beer as you enjoy the action at the "Plaza at Blue Oaks," located in west Roseville. The patio is easily accessible through the store and the dining room, and is not only an oasis for beer drinkers, but is a great place to relax for anybody shopping at Raley's O-N-E Market
Photo: At the Raley's O-N-E Market, in Roseville, the deli is a serious thing, as it occupies lots of counter space and offers all of the good food that you could ever imagine.
Photo: Checking out the massive deli counter, which offers everything, made fresh, in the store. Thanks to the convenient dining room and beer bar, this just isn't a supermarket deli, as it's a restaurant, with comfortable seating, friendly staff, and everything you could wish for to enjoy fine dining.
Photo: The soup bar today was nearly full, with another pot of soup ready to be served. You choose the soup of your desire, spoon it into the cup of your size with the large dipper, and pay for it at the counter. There are three sizes of soup, and you pay for how much you want to enjoy. Small - my choice today - medium and large. If you're a soup lover, I say "Go for it!!" The soup is delicious at Raley's O-N-E Market. My soup of choice today was "Chicken Noodle" as I needed a bit of comfort in my life. The "Salad Bar" is on the left, and the "Hot Wok Bar" is to the right. I enjoyed my main dishes from the "Hot Wok" bar.
Photo: I dipped into the pot of "Chicken Soup" and I noted the flavorful, amazing aroma of this delicious "comfort food."
Photo: Fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, along with spring rolls were offered at this hour in the morning. As the morning went on, the selection improved. All selections are located on a huge island, adjacent to the deli counter, and all food is kept warmed in stainless steel pans.
Photo: I debated between "Teriyaki Chicken," and the deep fried variety, offered in a neighboring pan, but eventually, I chose the teriyaki variety, as it looked, and smelled simply delicious! The chicken, peppers and onions were presented in a long, heated, stainless steel pan, and you simply used the supplied tongs to help yourself, to as much as you were hungry for.
Photo: Meet my friendly hostess Jayla, who took my order, treated me like family, and presented my lunch to me with a smile. The restaurant, located inside the supermarket, is essentially a self-serve deli, with the exception of the deli counter. If you're hitting up the "Hot Wok" and "Soup and Salad Bar," it's self-serve, as you serve yourself. If you're a "to go type of" diner, there are containers for you to put your food in, but if you're "old school," like me and prefer to dine-in, there is a station with real plates, knives, forks and spoons. After you make your selections, you bring your loaded plate to the counter, where your food will be weighed, and you'll be charged a flat sum by the pound... $10.99 per pound at this writing. Naturally the weight of your plate is already a "given" so you'll only be charged by the food you put on your plate. This is a great thing, as you can choose what you want to enjoy and exactly how much you want, and you'll only pay for as much as you choose.
Photo: I'm a happy guy, as I'm ready to enjoy a delicious lunch, as I sit at the beer bar at Raley's O-N-E Market, located in west Roseville. Thanks to Jayla for taking my photo.
Photo: From the "O-N-E Hot Bar," located across from the deli, I went with "Hot Wok" and my choice today was "Teriyaki Chicken," with "Spring Rolls" along with a small container of Raley's famous "Chicken Soup." All choices from the "Hot Wok," with the exception of the soup are priced at $10.99 a pound, which makes it easy. You pick your choices, as much as you want, and you're only charged by the pound. If you're dining "in," like I did today, the weight of the plate is discounted from your food, as you're only charged by the weight of the food you choose. The soup is separate, as it has a separate price. All together, my "Hot Wok," including soup came to $6.63, including state sales tax for hot food, which made this not only a delicious lunch, but put it below the marginal offerings of national "fast food" restaurants. Such a delicious lunch at a very reasonable price! The "Teriyaki" chicken started out with a small chicken drumstick, and a wing, seasoned, battered, and fried to a crispy, golden brown. Juicy, flavor and tender... just like your mom's fried chicken, except it had a slight twist: Teriyaki sauce, which added an amazing dimension of flavor to this delicious chicken. The chicken was basted in teriyaki sauce, doused with sesame seeds, and served with sliced green chili pepper and white onion. Truly delicious deli chicken! It was so delicious that I almost ate the bones. I enjoyed two "Spring Rolls" on today's early lunch which worked out perfectly. The spring rolls were filled with peas, carrots and potato, and deep fried to a very crispy golden brown on the outside, with a "crunch," yet tender, juicy and flavorful on the inside. Delicious! I felt like I needed a bit of "comfort" in my life on this mid Friday morning, so I went with an 8-oz container of "Chicken Soup." How much more comfort could you ever ask for in your life? The soup was served with a rich, flavorful broth, with lots of chicken and noodles. The soup was pretty basic, but excellent, and it warmed my body, and taste buds, and satisfied my spirit. The deli and restaurant, located inside Raley's O-N-E Market offers everything that you could imagine, and then some, and is more like a cafeteria, located inside the supermarket. A comfortable dining room, an awesome patio in front of the store, and a craft beer and wine bar set Raley's O-N-E Market apart from any supermarket in Placer County, or maybe even the greater Sacramento area, and make this one-stop supermarket a one-of-kind destination stop for groceries, craft beer and fine dining.
