H-E-B

Bulk section always stocked. Sushi is always fresh. I’m never disappointed with their selection of seafood or produce. I went a few days ago looking for crabless cakes and a seafood department employee (Carlos??) was VERY helpful and courteous. Their bathrooms are closed right now but they have a really decent trailer on the side of the entrance with stalls and sinks. Smelled nice in there.

I lose myself in here. Sometimes I go to the grocery store even when I don’t need things. I like the layout hear of the store. I will say that shopping at HEB you seem to get better deals on chicken and pork while Krogers generally has better deals on beef. I like at HEB how they have the spice section, if you don’t know you can get your spices and seasonings here for far less than on the seasoning isle … just a tip.

I love Heb. But this store is by far my most favorite. To the bakery, the deli, in my most favorite… The cosmetics department!

So many more beer choices than Kroger.
So many more salsa choices.
Lots of central market items in the central market section.
Great bakery.
The best store nearby.

I have been going here for years but now I’m finally over this store. For about the last 6 months EVERYTIME I come here I leave without at least 3 things on my list. They stopped caring the item, the shelf is empty where the item should be, or they have relocated the item again and it can’t be found! I mean they just moved the Kraft dry Parmesan Cheese from its location near the deli & stupid me assumed I would find it in the pasta aisle. I mean dry cheese for spaghetti in the spaghetti section, WTH was I thinking?
I went there yesterday morning (the only time you can a parking spot within 20 miles of the door). I already told you about the great cheese incident so lets move in to the other 2 items I left without. They used to have prepared sides near the salad section in produce (the rosemary potato’s were pretty good). Not in the section anymore and when I asked an employee about it I was told they don’t have those sides anymore. Probably would have sold better if the sides were near the prepared foods area and not in the middle of the produce section. #3-Couldn’t get my iced tea because the shelf was empty.
The rolls that you get out of the bin were the best I have had in years. Yeah, that party is over! The last few months its always the same hard as a rock and dried out in the middle. I considered putting one under my car seat to use as a bat if anyone tried car jacking me, but I didn’t want to get ants.
Cons:
Produce has declined, parking has gotten worse, check out and deli lines are insane, too many out of stock items, too many inventory inconsistencies, too much product relocation, and last but not least hard as a bat rolls.
Pros:
Pretty good customer service.

Hallelujah! THIS H-​E-​B does it right!
After increasing frustration with the H-​E-​B that is close to my home never having the quality nor the selection of anything I want to purchase, I came to this location to see if my faith could be restored in H-​E-​B.
Praise the Lord!
Produce is vast and superb. Fish selection is marvelous! Meats, particularly in the butcher case, are tremendous. Cheeses are varied and diverse. Groceries are stocked well, and not just with the store-​branded items. OMG! I’m in heaven.
The beer selection here is unbelievable! There are so many choices available in the case (both in 6– and 12-​packs) along with taps to fill your growler with a changing assortment of brews (some local crafts). Gulp!
This H-​E-​B is hands down the best full-​service grocery store within miles. I’ll drive the extra distance to get here because it’s well run, they stock items I’m looking to purchase and their prices are consistent with the chain. Check out was quick and efficient with lots of lanes open and short lines.
Here — yes, HERE — everything IS better!

Such a great grocery store!
It’s a mix between Central Market (that is part of the HEB family), Whole Foods, Sprouts, etc but better!
Everything is fresh, from the produce, the meats, the bakery products, everything!
They even sell small kitchen appliances (including kitchen tools and pots and pans) from some pretty well known good brands, cosmetics (including Bare Minerals), and little everyday things you might need but don’t feel like going to Target for.
There’s also a pretty big selection of wine and drinks if you’re looking for that!
They have a lot of house brand products but also have high end brands. I purchased an HEB brand package of Houston Blend coffee as a little souvenir and it smells amazing! I can’t wait to try that out.
I really liked the outdoor decorations they had in front of the store, the clay pumpkins look nice.
I really wish we had this store in California!
Until next time, HEB, until next time.

I had a horrible experience at a previous HEB (West Alabama location) and was determined to next go to another HEB again. However, when I moved to this area, it became so convenient to go to this location, so I did and now it’s my favorite HEB. So much selection and the service is always good. It’s clean, parking is easy, and the prices are good as well.

AVOID THE PHARMACY! I can’t say enough about how poorly I have been treated by the ladies who work at this pharmacy. They smiled at me like my frustration was funny.
Visit 1: after waiting over 20 mins in the drive thru they turn me away because they were out of my Rx. Fine, but that shouldn’t take so long. I was the only person in the drive thru.
Visit 2: After I dropped off my Rx I get a call 20 mins later that my Rx was rejected because my doctor did not write a hashtag next the pill quantity. This is after she already looked it over and said they had it and it would be ready in a half hour. Not only that, she stamped the back of it so I couldn’t take it anywhere else.
Visit 3: After I dropped off my Rx the technician again, looked it over and looked up if they had it and I told them I would come back later to pick it up. AND AGAIN WITHOUT FAIL They stamped and rejected my Rx because my Doctor apparently wrote the month 4 then wrote over it 5 but it looked like she only began to write the 4, it wasn’t totally written over it just looked like a correction. AND AGAIN SHE STAMPED the back of it so I couldn’t take it somewhere else. She suggested I try Walgreens!
When I asked to speak to a supervisor the head technician showed up and was so rude to me I was on the verge of tears. I am a tough cookie. But these ladies seriously smile with satisfaction like its funny to turn me away after I have had a long day at work and just need to pick up my Rx.

Just happened to be in the area and needed to pick up some stuff for the week.
I stay closer to the Bunker Hill market, and they are pretty much set up the EXACT same way.
The guy that helped us in the wine section picked a total winner! Sucks we didn’t get his name!
The only thing I didn’t like was the deli. They had like 15 people waiting. At the bunker hill location they have sliced deli meats pre-​packaged for people who hate waiting for things like me, but they only had the packs that were like $ 8-​$ 10. I know it’s petty but that’s a lot for one or two people, but waiting in line was not happening.
The only thing here is that the traffic is a lot worse over here than at bunker, and the parking lot was so full for a grocery store.
I prob will just wait to go shopping when I’m in my neck of the woods, but it was okay. Pretty avg HEB.

I always go out of my way cause this is the closest HEB to me. I recently bought peaches that looked completely fine on the outside but to find out halfway through eating it I found green fuzzy MOLD. I was disgusted. Just be careful everyone.

Sunday, Houston–
Man, how I wish we had one within driving distance. Vast selections of every kind of food or service you can ask for.

I love HEB and it, by far, is the one store I miss most in Texas. They have such a HUGE selection of most products. Their prices are comparable with discount stores like Walmart but they’re much cleaner and better-​organized. They have tons of fresh produce and local ethnic selections. Their handmade guacamole is by FAR the best guacamole they’ve ever had. I won’t bother making it myself if I’m in Houston because theirs is so good, fresh, and well-​priced.
It does get packed on the evenings and weekends so it is best to come early during the day on a weekday.

I like the layout of this store. The hot foods are at the front of the store and greet you when you walk in. You can take a few steps in, order, and be back out to your car in no time. Not to mention, there seems to be a different, laid back sense about this location.

I love coming to H-​E-​B I love they have food section I love the homemade pecan pies they are so delicious and I love when I have people out cooking and talking to you you don’t get that at at the grocery stores anymore everyone was friendly asking him a happy you had a lot of people shopping but there was no long wait.

I’ve shopped here since it opened and it appears, at least to me, that it has really changed. The quality of the produce is only so — so and the ability to keep up with supply and demand has also suffered. I just left there and am now at Kroger. The place looked like it had been ravaged by hurricane panicked customers. I guess it has a larger customer base than it can keep up with. It wasn’t always this way. I think I’ve made my last dry run there. Either Kroger, Whole Foods Market, or the new H.E.B. on Spring Cypress and Grant.

I like this store, but it’s getting too popular. Good for them, bad for shoppers.
On weekends there is often no parking in the entire lot. Several times we had to go elsewhere but we physically could not park and get in the store. And more than once, if we happened to actually get in, we would be completing our shopping trip only to find they were out of stock of some item — so we would just put everything back and go to a different store.
Come here during off-​peak times and its the best HEB in the area. But otherwise steer clear.
HEB Pro-​Tip: If this location is too crowded, drive 10 minutes up Louetta to find a less hectic and better stocked HEB.

HEB is by far my favorite place to shop. The selection is great, the produce is fresh, and the lines move quickly, even during peak shopping time (holidays, evenings, and weekends). The parking situation at this location is always a bit iffy, and the parking lot is an, ah, unique shape that can make parking dicey at times. If you’re there at night, the parking lot attendant/​guide that walks around is a bit too tightly-​wound and has harassed my husband who dropped me off at the front entrance. Not what you would say is a pleasant experience.
They offer a decent selection of wine and beer, cheese, meats, bread, and everything else in-​between. There’s also a Redi-​Clinic inside if you need to see a doctor but can’t get in to your PCP last minute, or on the weekend. Very convenient.
Cashiers are always very fast and friendly, one aspect that I really enjoy about HEB. They don’t make you feel like an inconvenience when you come to ring up your items, and there’s always a smile and a «Have a nice day!» when you leave.

So I went to this HEB because I work in the Vintage Park location; however, this was the second time I hd issues and this second time was a little sickening. I discover 4 day old milk, a whole row full. It was quite upsetting. The customer service clerk was just a surprised and immediately grabbed the phone. That was the only positive to this experience.

H-​E-​B SUSHIYA SUSHI REVIEW:
I’m pretty picky about my sushi, so I was surprised that I actually enjoyed H-E-B’s in-​house sushi. It’s not the best, but when I am in a huge hurry and don’t have time to go to my favorite sushi bar in Spring (Matsu), I like to drive up to this H-​E-​B and buy myself some rolls and sashimi. It’s a quick, easy lunch or dinner, and it’s decent! I like that you can custom order your rolls, and specify what kind of rice you want. The ladies and gentlemen behind the sushi bar will make your sushi fresh if you’d rather not grab a pre-​made sushi roll.
Do not fear the raw fish, folks! Stick to the rolls if you want to play it safe.
Warning: if you ask them to slice sashimi fresh for you, your fish may still be frozen and you won’t be able to eat it until it defrosts. I’ve had this happen to me a few times, and it’s pretty gross and upsetting. I give the sushi here 4 stars for convenience and decency.
