H-E-B

Great location for me. Good meat market with helpful staff. However, in comparison to a full-​service H-​E-​B, this store is lacking in selection and the way the shelves are stocked. You can only find fresh-​squezzed orange juice early in the morning. Don’t look for it after noon. Many times the shelves will be bare for a particular item. This store promotes H-​E-​B brand over national brands. This is a good «convenience» store until one can get to a «real» H-​E-​B. The store management claims that this is the most productive store in town. I doubt that. Go to the store in S. Valley Mills Drive, Hewitt Drive, or the one in Bellmead. H-​E-​B has neglected the Wooded Acres and N 19 th Street stores and the residents in these areas. Too bad! Waco needs perhaps a Kroger to offer H-​E-​B more competition.

HEB is awesome. Great place to shop and great choices of foods. Way cheaper than Walmart or any other grocery store. The only disadvantage is the people that work there are mostly kids so they don’t always seem to care when checking you out. Other than that, pretty great.

My son & daughter-​in-​law live in Robinson and expecting their first child. A baby shower was being hosted by my other daughter-​in-​law who lives in GA. She was able to communicate with Hilda Contreraz from the Bakery to have the most beautiful cake made. The decorations on the cake were absolutely perfect for what was requested. The attention to detail was noticed by everyone at the party. The colors & design were a perfect match to picture that was sent to Ms. Contreraz. The guests all noticed how the cake had great flavor and was very moist. All the guest as well as myself enjoyed how well the cake turned out not only in appearance but in texture & moisture. A VERY BIG THANK YOU to Hilda Contreraz for a job well done and beautiful memories made!

Thank you H-​E-​B for making a storebrand that is just as good as namebrand food items. So many other stores have subpar store brands but I know that anything I get with an H-​E-​B or central market label is going to be good.

I’ve shopped at this particular HEB for over 12 years now & I am disappointed that I can only give it one star since all the management left to go to the new HEB Plus on 35. I wouldn’t give it any stars if it weren’t for the deli staff (they are the best) as far as the rest of the store goes if it weren’t convenient I wouldn’t go there. The checkers are the worst! They are slow & completely rude! I don’t think they have anyone managing them the way they carry themselves.

Our local HEB is very good, but when we need something from the deli (great selection and wonderful service) or specialty cheeses, or different pastas, etc. we go to Wooded Acres HEB.
We have never left without everything we needed, and usually a few other items, too! The fish selection is very good, and the counter personnel will cut and wrap to your specifications, even including a bag of ice for our cooler. They seem to eat fish, also, since I’ve discussed recipes and preparation methods with them and they know what they are talking about.
The specialty meats counter makes my mouth water, and again the meat counter personnel know what they are doing and take pride in helping you decide what you want.
If you can’t find an item, any of the employees can tell you exactly where it is, and usually walk you to it. All the employees are so pleasant, and very helpful.
The only reason there are four stars and not five is the parking lot, which is confusing and difficult to navigate. It must have been laid out by an architect after eating a cheap anchovy pizza.

If sacking your own groceries is your thing, shop here. Never enough sackers. I want this to be my store…

For years this has been the consummate HEB location in the Waco area. They have an excellent selection of bulk and organic foods such as nuts, grains, and coffees. There is also a very nice deli area separating the produce section from the grocery section.

This store is ok I guess… The service is kinda slow. The shelves are almost bare in essential goods. The produce is always banged up or about to rot. The lines are so long during peak times and other times — but they have a ton of registers… go fig. I come here out of chance.

PLEASE BRANCH OUT TO VIRGINIA!!! Our stores in Hampton Roads seriously suck.
Since leaving Waco in 1993 and then traveling the world with the Navy, I had forgotten how much better this grocery chain is over the other stores. When dropping our daughter off at college this summer, this place made our return to Texas that much better. I am seriously considering my retirement location based on proximity to these HEB stores!
Excellent variety of fresh produce at reasonable prices. I can only dream of that here in Virginia.

Nice HEB! Gets a bit crowded but they have a good, consistent selection of fresh products.

My wife and I spent two hours driving around to different florists in search of the perfect thing as a gift for our hosts. We couldn’t find «it». We were getting pretty frustrated… One of the florists admitted the best flower selection is at this HEB. They were right. Unbelievable selection, including the perfect «it». Later in the week we needed a late night pharmacy, and they were the only one close by… Big, Beautiful store. Busy. Nice air conditioning… (must be expensive!)

I go here frequently. HEB is definitely, by far, much better than Walmart. Its busy at times, but that’s expected… It IS awesome after all… I get all of my groceries here & I even go there for lunch sometimes. (They have a decent sushi bar!)

If I had time, I would always drive out of the way to this H-​E-​B so that I could avoid visiting the one on 11^th and Speight right by Baylor campus. They have a wide selection of fresh bread and wine, and even have a fresh sushi station. The sushi here is not world class, but it is incredibly edible and usually pretty good. They have a pretty decent beer/​fish/​meat selection here in addition to all the wine and fresh bread.
I actually prefer this H-​E-​B to the H-​E-​B Plus in Hewitt. In my experiences, I would drive all the way to Hewitt to look for something specific and they would not have it, but they would have it at Wooded Acres. Go figure.

HEB must be now be buying sub-​par meat. Their prime steak used to be worth it — melt in your mouth. But something, in the last 3 – 4 months has changed. They must be trying to save money… but the prime is not prime. I have bought it three times, at very steep prices and all three times it has been too tough to eat. My dog has been happy but we have not.
I don’t know what they are trying to pull. but it sucks.
Tried Walmart Choice steaks and they weren’t half bad. Cheaper than HEB prime but 10 times more tender. But, hate to give China money by shopping at Walmart. Guess, unfortunately, we now have to go to Austin to buy meat.
BTW, HEB meat manager didn’t even care !! I spoke to someone there and they promised the meat manager would call me. (After I spent $ 88 on prime steak that was inedible). HE NEVER DID

This is the store in Waco for Organics, Bulk foods, and friendly staff.
The others may have more items, non grocery items. But this store is hard to beat for groceries. I have noticed the gas prices being higher here than Woodway or Bellmead however, to buyer beware.

This is our grocery store of choice in Waco. The staff is helpful, the selection as good as it gets in McLennan County.
That said, our regular items are not always stocked and the store suffers from a horrible lack of fair trade whole bean coffee options.

My favorite HEB. This one has an excellent selection of items that make it very similar to its sister-​store Central Market. The prices are great as well. When I shop there I primarily buy HEB brand items. What I love about the HEB brand is that all of it is actually good food – I really can’t taste the difference between it and name brand items.
Get an HEB card and earn points – it’s free. I got $ 5 off my last purchase from all of the point I’d earned.

I LOVE HEB! This is the best one I’ve seen in Texas! Friendly people! Lots of variety! I even do some of my Christmas shopping there… lots of reasonably priced toys, electronics and a great beauty department. The gas is cheap too.

I used to have many friends that worked at this HEB, they called it the TajMaHeeb… they have an excellent variety of most anything you would want, especially produce, and their store is very clean. Their prices are very reasonable as well.
