H-E-B

Decent HEB just off Braeswood. Could use some updating, but it’s well stocked and didn’t have long lines while we were there. (Big Kosher section!)

If you are new to Texas, shop HEB. They donate lots of money to charity each year and are one of the largest employers in the state. Low prices. Nothing extravagant, just the basics. Happy employees, clean stores, great prices. Houston flooded in early summer 2015. The HEB store on s. Braeswood flooded. HEB immediately came into Houston and went door to door to the flooded homes and handed out complementary gift cards. And immediately after Hurricane Ike HEB brought dozens of 18 wheeler trucks into Houston and the surrounding areas and dispensed complementary bags of ice and bottled water. I like what HEB does for the community.

Just walk out of there. Cashier told me to get my roast I had to have 10.00 worth of food. After leaving I did my math and I had 10.00 worth. But she didn’t ring it up to see. So glad you don’t need my money. I will not be back you lost me again.

This HEB has been recently renovated and wow what an improvement!
As soon as you walk in its brighter, cleaner, much friendlier and we’ll stocked. Even the people that frequent this place is different, I no longer feel unsafe whole shipping here after work. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of things now that they didn’t carry before from almond meal to fresher produce. Give this HEB a try you might like it.

After a 5 month wait to re-​open this store following the Memorial Day flood, this is the same dreary old store as before. I predict it will be run-​down once again in about 3 months. I would suggest at the very least getting rid of the old drop ceiling tiles to create the illusion of a larger space and adding skylights for natural light. Why can’t we have a decent HEB in Meyerland?

I was so excited after the reno but it’s still just okay. They don’t have enough of a selection and the exterior is run down. Can we get an HEB in Meyerland please?

Just re-​opened after the flooding in May. Great opportunity to address a very tired and outdated facility. Unfortunately it is the same old $hit hole with new refrigeration units and a slightly different layout. What a disappointment!

I just went on Oct. 15^th and this location is still CLOSED from the bad flood that Houston had back in May. THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED for now. Don’t look at the little green «open» in the corner of your Unilocal

Very dirty place to shop for groceries… The floors were disgusting, hundreds of fruit flies buzzing around the fruits and vegetables, and everything was sticky. Obviously the current manager doesn’t give a damn.

The customer service here is terrible.
I recently purchased a money order here and the manager checked me out. As he charged me he did not greet me or make eye contact. An off the clock sales associate came behind me in line and the manager proceeded to check out the employee and make conversation before heading to the staff room to pick up the money order I had already paid for.
I have moral problems with shopping at Walmart but I’d rather drive down the road to shop there than deal with the small selection and impolite staff at this HEB. I only go to this HEB when necessary or when I’m running short on time.
To add to this, the fruits (specifically berries) always seem to have mold on them. I’m not sure what it is but produce from this location never stays fresh. Stay clear of this store if you can.

The is the Turd in otherwise excellent grocery store chain. Its is just horrible. The selection is terrible. I think they modeled after some kind of Soviet era Moscow Co-​Op. I actually got depressed walking through the store. Its drab, dirty, crowed, horrible lighting and just all around unpleasant to be in. I would rather drive the extra 10 min to Buffalo Speedway location rather then go here. Not even in an emergency. HEB should do this place a favor and put it down like a lame race horse.
I gave it one star because the place has 1000 coupons and my daughter loves collecting them. To her this place is heaven. The bliss that is being 5.

Better than one I used to go to up on 18^th in the Heights, but not by a whole lot. They at least carry Fage yogurt, as well as Jufran (Filipino banana ketchup). Product selection is pretty dismal, though you can be sure the chip & soda aisle is full-​sized! It’s a grocery store typical of a poor neighborhood, even though the immediate neighborhood isn’t poor. The staff is not well trained, it’s not uncommon for them to prioritize their desire to have conversations with each other in checkout lanes above the need to aid customers in a speedy and professional manner. Westbury-​Meyerland needs a better grocery store so locals will spend money in the neighborhood, instead of driving to Bellaire or West U to give them money. Bellaire & West U do not need more money!
On a side note, my husband has found this to be a sometimes-​good source for new hotly-​sought-​after beers since it’s outside the geographical range of most craft beer nerds. However, their staff pays no attention to the supposed limit — so if one beer geek happens to get there before you and decides to be stingy, oh well.

As much as I love HEBs this one is a sad excuse. This whole area is just as the cusp of a nicer area, but I have been disappointed a many times by shopping in this area. Stick to the HEB on buffalo speedway or the one in Montrose, stay clear of this location.

I’m obsessed with HEB. But this location is just sad. Definitely one of the older ones… the poor, neglected step-​child of HEBs. I went here a couple times when I lived in the area, but it’s just depressing. Think Food Town with HEB products. :/​It’s in desperate need of a remodeling. I would go to the one on Buffalo Speedway.

First, some positive praise: I love HEB for the native Texan grocery chain that it is.
While my usual haunt is my local Kroger, I really like the HEB Hill Country store brand products. So much so that I’ve become quite a bit OCD over their store-​brand zero-​calorie cola (the black can knockoff of Coke Zero). The Kroger «Big K» cola version is simply awful by comparison.
On my last hunt to stockpile my bazillion twelve-​packs of the stuff, I stopped by this location since I had to visit the bank across the bayou. This is a typical Pantry layout: smaller than full-​fledged grocery stores, it is designed to provide just the staples. Still unclear on the concept? Here’s a quick checklist:
Looking for your organic kale? Not going to happen here.
Looking for Fair Trade coffee? Uh uh. Have some Folgers.
Looking for free-​range chicken basted in unicorn tears? Keep walking.
Looking for your all-​natural laundry detergent made by modern hippies? Nope.
Okay, so you need to simmer down your expectations when you come here. Simmer way down. The linoleum is scuffed permanently, the shelves are crammed, and the lines are long. And, in an aisle stuffed with all combinations of cola products, the only bare spot is… where my HEB Original Cola Zero Calorie would be found.
Argh. Guess I better simmer down my expectations. One. More. Notch. I left disappointed and empty-​handed. Step it up, HEB, please. :)
Closing out on positive notes: The parking lot was clean and the carts were collected nicely. Oh, and I love how their vending machines and coolers next to the checkout offer their house HEB brand colas for 50 cents each.

this place sucks. no variety. no service. disgusting!

I had a bitter experience here a day ago. In a nut shell, they have a limited produce section and their prices are not low. Next, what really made me furious, was the cashier girl who must have not been having such a great day. With only three lanes open, the lined were not short. I had ten items, plus 1 cucumber and 1 onion, yes, just one of each. So I decided to pay at the express lane. I did not think a tomato and onion would cause such an inconvenience, but it did. The cashier was very unhappy about it an advised to use the regular lanes because it wasn’t fair for the people that had 1 item. This was a bit unpleasant, specially because she just blurred it out with her attitude. All for going over by an onion and a cucumber? Really?
