H-E-B

Seeing less of those scurry restockers… nice.
But another headache —
Last night Saturday, went to store to get some stuff.
Parked in handicapped as we had a handicapped lic plate.
Then we saw some fat lady sitting in a car, idling, in a handicapped parking spot but she did not have a lic plate or a sticker showing handicapped.
The lazy lady was just sitting in there and of course, security was no where in sight.
HEB — please have your security check these handicapped spots more regularly. More and more lazy people w no stickers are abusing the handicapped spots.
Would it help if we took pictures of the car, lic plate and the handicapped sign when we see someone?

Just a neighborhood grocery store. Nothing to rave about especially since the corporation has chased out all competition. Staff have been unresponsive to my requests for international food. I can get all the beans and cheese I need, but ask for felafel or jack fruit and expect confused faces. Staff have often responded to me as if I were speaking a foreign language when I asked for hotdogs.

So HAPPY that this HEB has been updated. There is a greater wine/​craft beer selection, awesome new deli, and a good selection of cheese and cured meats (it isn’t Central Market, but still great). The produce section is great and prices are overall reasonable. Can’t complain. Checkout lines seem to always be pretty busy during peak times; even though I had more than 15 items, and employee allowed me to check out in the 15 items or less line which saved me some time.

Ok. Now that the remodel is just about complete, I feel I can now go to this store and not be mega-​frustrated. Like today. I went for a ‘few’ things. Yeah, right. $ 92 later. They are the only nearby HEB that carries Reynaldo’s rice pudding. Delicious and decadent. We usually shop at the Lincoln Heights store who would probably spontaneously combust if they carried this brand.
The aisles are definitely wider. That’s great.
I also got a sushi lunch, prepared fresh today. Tasty. Three rolls in the test for $ 11.99. Not bad at all.
All in all, a nice experience today.

yay to updates! So happy:)

Best HEB anywhere near downtown. Plenty of parking, gas pumps, the store is usually a little crowded, but people are friendly and make due. Whereas the Deco HEB people are just flat rude! The checkout lines are always at least 5 people deep, which isn’t too terribly bad. Good produce and bakery selections. I have found that their beef selection isn’t always that great. They do have a lot of Central market items, which is a bonus. I was leaning towards a 3 star, but this is a middle HEB, if you want fancy go to Lincoln Heights or Central Market or slums Deco, this one just runs down the middle. Also the people that shop here are generally decent and friendly whereas the Deco HEB has a lot of terrible people in it (the cashiers are always nice though).

Ugh. This place is always on the gritty side. It’s not really clean. The produce here is yuck. There’s always long lines for the cashier. It does have a good frozen food section, but everything else seems to be lacking. They heavily skew the merchandise towards the Latino demographic, which can be good if you’re looking for certain ingredients, but if you’re looking for fresh produce or seafood, it’s lacking heavily.
It’s a plus that they do sell gas there, which is usually cheaper than most of the rest in the ‘hood.

Well currently this HEB is under some remodeling reconstruction. This is just another neighborhood store. I will say that I have been to better HEB stores in general but I have never had any issues with this store. It is on the old side of stores that were opened that is why it is in need of some renovations.

Tell me why this HEB has a nice atmosphere with a good selection. Here’s why.. This place keeps the traditional heb layout and not some heb plus ridiculous lineup. They always have a good selection of produce and organic items. Steer clear of this heb first of the month. Crazy. Try their potato wedges in the hot food line. Omg they’re so good

My new shopping grocery H.E.B. store. I’m going to miss «FESTIA» and «KROGER» in Rosenberg, Tx. This is good for now. The store does seem like second hand level, and why doesn’t it have a bucker’s case?

Not a big fancy HEB but i like that. They have everything i need. Always fresh and well stocked. The sushi is good early in the day but it seem to be kept up with all day so its not so good during late hours. Big wine selection which makes me happy. The beer selection is pretty diverse but most of its not kept cold. The lines move fast and the cashiers are always cool. Things are always very clean and shelves don’t look like a mess. Would be cool if it got some upgrades.

This is my neighborhood HEB. And while it’s no Lincoln Heights HEB, it gets the job done when I don’t want to drive far. Plus, they always have my Fage yogurt with honey, with Lincoln Heights runs out of a lot.
The produce section is meh, nothing fancy and sometimes the selection is subpar, plus their organic offerings are a bit smaller than some fancier HEB’s and Central Market. I also wish their turkey (ground, burgers, sausages, etc) selection was broader.
Other than that, you can find just about anything you need here and will never have to wait too long in line. Speaking of, their line situation is kind of ridiculous since there’s barely any space between where the aisles start and where the register lines begin. It still moves pretty quickly though. Oh, and this spot has a gas station that steady has the cheapest gas I can find!

I really do love this particular store. I guess it’s all perspective, but I’ve lived near big HEB mega stores with tons of fancy, and then I had the unfortunate experience of living near a truly awful HEB on the near West side (that I still have nightmares about)… but this one hits the spot. In fact, I drove out of my way for years to shop here before I actually moved into the neighborhood!
I like that it is decent sized, not too big or too small. I do wish there were some things that they don’t offer currently, mainly a vegetarian section beyond the tiny little frozen food section, but overall I am generally able to get what I need for my family and get out of there in a reasonable amount of time.
When I have (rarely) had a problem or complaint, management has been super responsive and provided excellent customer service. I do try and make it in there either early in the morning or before 5pm though, to avoid the big after 5 rush that is common.
Unlike other stores, they are always good (in my experience) about opening more registers when it gets crowded.
And darn it, they are just *nice* there! Customer service is still a priority here and that’s a quickly fading thing these days.

I go to several HEB’s all over town as I run a Go-​fer biz, and this is a good one as far as this chain goes. I was able to get in and out quickly.

its alright. average grocery store. However I love all the different salsa they carry and I love HEB tortillas.

The only thing inconvenient about my HEB is the lack of a drive thru pharmacy. The people in the pharmacy are great though. They always make sure to give you the discount with or without your rewards card which is nice, but don’t ask for generic stuff without a valid prescription. They’ll turn you down!

I’m going to stray far away from the bandwagon here and give this spot three stars.
It’s a grocery store. I go there to buy groceries. It’s not a super fancy plus! version of this chain. It’s just a good, standard grocery store. I like that I can run in and out in a few minutes. I like that I don’t have to wander around 50 aisles of stuff to find a loaf of bread. I like that it’s small.
This location isn’t HEB prettiest. And I’ll agree that it could use a facelift, and possibly even a good scrub down. But, if you are in the area and in need of a quick grocery item or two, it does the job and you can usually get in and out in a few minutes!

I guess I have a different take on this. The one thing I love about Olmos HEB is the diverse group of shoppers there are. I’m a big people watcher and most of my time is spent browsing the aisles for groceries & observing everyone around me. I’ll never forget the one homeless guy in the cleaning product aisle who was literally spraying himself with Febreeze! From cool hipsters, soccer moms, snooty richies, preppy Trinity students, homeless down and outs, welfare recipients, regular joes and artsy fartsies~ this is MY HEB!
My only complaint with this and all HEBs is that prices ring up wrong alot of the time. I have to carefully watch the prices as my groceries are scanned. Its not gonna stop me from shopping there though.

HEB usually is the best store in town. However, I think that Mrs. Butt would not want her name on this one. The store is always crowded but filthy dirty.
I wake up in cold sweats every time I think of the man I witnessed eating cherries straight out of the bin. I was horrified, then I went over and pointed this out to my wife who made the nightmare worse by asking me what he was doing with the pits. I don’t even want to thank about it YUK!
HEB could you try to clean this place up! I live 10 blocks away and drive to the Lincoln Heights store except for emergencies.

I love HEB grocery stores, but why do I have to live next to one of the worst ones in San Antonio?! The selection at this location is depressingly limited and the place is always packed with shoppers. There are never more than just a few lanes open at once so waiting in line almost always takes longer than time spent in the aisles of the store.
The employees there are very nice and helpful; I just wish they would hire more so I could get out of there in a timely manner.
I have taken to driving to other parts of town for grocery shopping now. Get it together, Olmos Park HEB!
