Twentynine Palms Commissary - Defense Commissary Agency in Twentynine Palms

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!

USMC Veteran- I used to work at the Commissary. Terrible place to work. The meat manager allowed old meat to be rewrapped if it didn’t sell, the employees were constantly having issues with managers bullying them, expired items were left on the shelf, and employees were given a hard time if they took the time to clear those items. The commissary won’t listen to good employee input so they’ll receive trucks of goods even though entire pallets might be missing. HQ has unrealistic expectations, changing the store layout and products constantly so there’s no consistency for the Marines and Sailors.They had 13 pallets of rotting chicken stored in their coolers and freezers that they ultimately had to destroy because they never marked it down and over-ordered. The meat department had racks and racks of old frozen meat that had to be thrown away after I reported they were rewrapping it, and after I refused to participate. Some of that old meat, like gray ribeyes, we’re going into the grind.The Army Veterinary (Inspectors) are worthless because they are only concerned about their appearance; if you report something, they get mad because it’s something they should have caught, but didn’t.DeCA is only interested in their own bureaucracy and weirdly trying to make a profit despite their government status.This place could be great if it were completely overhauled and allow the base to have more oversight, and bring in County inspectors independently instead of Army. There’s NO WAY the Commissary could pass a health inspection based on County standards.

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.

Friendly staff, big commissary good selection ok prices.

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 its really hot. Baggers only work for tips which is so terrible. Generally clean and the associates are very friendly.

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

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

Very clean and organized store. Great prices

Went into the Commissary looking for a rib roast for my Thanksgiving dinner.They didnt have any on display. I asked Michael and he was quick to take care of me with friendly great service.
