Over all this is a store of convenience and pleasant customer service all while having good competitive prices.
I love going to Smart & Final. I always end up finding something not originally in my shopping list. For the holidays Smart & Final had 9 to 11 lbs 4 bone ribeye roast for 5.99 a lbs. I am dry ageing one with Umai bag and turning into steaks and since it wont be ready for 34 days the wife got one for us to cook for Christmas dinner.
I had been ordering groceries from Instacart for a year before coming in for the very first time ever. I was very impressed.A great shop with a great variety of choices in products per section. The prices are very good without any coupons or membership cards. The produce is fresh. I went in the other day and spoke with 3 associates. All three of them were friendly and helpful.The only thing that is tough is that the aisles are tight and is uncomfortable with a cart and several children, however for a small space, there is a lot of choices and not too crowded in the afternoon, so thats nice. Lots of savings!
Juanita the cashier was very courteous 👍
Found everything I need. At such great prices!
Its great for those things I use to purchase for commercial kitchens. Like large Briskets and hotel pans. Some things you just cant get anywhere else.
Wonderful, everything is in order, and people line up a bit, because its popular and friendly area
Lots of variety and good prices.
If you shop there make sure to look at the what is being advertised. Buy in bulk. If you dont its not a deal. They never have enough cashiers. Be prepared to wait in line. The store itself is clean and well stocked.
Found everything I was looking for, very helpful customer service, specially the lady at checkout.
Nice store to many homeless. around the area for me
They are always clean and well stocked.
The staff is great, the store is in good shape. Sometimes has a smell outside from a pipe, but dont let that detour you from coming in.
Great deals. A lot of items are cheaper than other supermarkets.
Bate and switch.Advertised for 59 c and wanted to charge me $1.89 !??Not a way to make me go again. Never!
No fresh chickens in early afternoon
Didnt have 12 pack modelos couldnt believe it.
The sewage smell is horrible. But the store was clean and staff was friendly.
Helpful, kind employees. Clean store.
I used to shop at this store all the time, I am a senior! ****On Tuesdays and Thursdays, please note that 6am – 8am is reserved for shoppers 60 years and older, expectant mothers, those with disabilities, and first responders in the medical field.They do not honor senior hours, do not provide a safe time for them and do not care!! THERE IS NO SIGN POSTED THAT IT IS SENIOR TIME!! This is for the store on Vista Way, Vista. So sad when we are currently the worst state in the whole country, smart and final acts like its over!
They are compliant. They give you bags. Shelves are poorly stocked now, unlike their usual standards. Cashier was kind.
Busy but the line moves quickly.
Smart and final always has great deals
Great prices but most of the time they only have half of what I’m looking for and this store always smells AWFUL like straight sewage as soon as you walk in
The associates at this particular smart & final promotes a family type environment. I enjoy coming to this smart & final. There are 2 gas stations across the street, a laundry mat next door, a car rental location that is caddy corner, a donut shop and liquor store, florist and a Popeyes take out and all of this is right off the freeway exit.
A good option when buying in bulk.
Clean & organized store, the cashiers are always so friendly when you cash out. Today I had cashier: Gabriela I purchased my items @12:57. 9/15/18 very sweet lady that made my overall experience a good one. She should get recognized for her great customer service. Thank you
Bulk items for sure also many reasonably priced produce. If you love avocados, they have $10 bag of size 60 15 CT Haas avocados... Nice
Got what I needed, prices were excellent. The lady working noticed when theyre were 3-4 of us in line and opened a register within a minute. Beer impressed. Thanks
Best price on meat.
Need to make sure meat scans at correct price
Always very clean and well stocked with great savings in all departments. Best looking and best taste come from the meat and produce section with great deals every week along with the 25% & 50% off of their discount meat section..Definitely one of my favorite stores to shop.
Clean and staff very friendly
They stock local producer at competitive prices.
If you like old produce and the smell of funk while youre shopping, this is the place for you. I never understood why people come here.
Awesome place to get groceries
They didnt have either of the products we wanted this last time it. Usually its not a problem, but....
Overall this place has a variety of foods and you can buy things in big portions. Pretty pricey... but I did feel a little uncomfortable by the cashier Rebecca. My mom was buying a large portion of soup and she started judging her saying she needs to eat more than just soup. First of all why are you judging people and their groceries?! Do your job and scan food, that’s what you get paid to do! I’m extremely annoyed and don’t think I’ll be coming back.
Decent prices for the quality.
Help is always close by...as a disabled senior when items are too heavy to lift and place in cart..an employee will be glad to help me.. store is always clean and safe and well stocked ☺
Has some items that some stores dont carry, even some items are cheaper. We go about every 2 weeks. This store is right off the freeway, fast stop milk and such.
Clean and well organized. Reasonable prices, friendly staff. Everything you need for a successful grocery experience.
I was overcharged for apples. The apples were clearly marked $0.98 per pound but the cashier charged me $1.93 and made it sound like it was my fault. I didnt stick around to have the error corrected because there were other people inline waiting to be overcharged.
The store is clean and well stocked. They have products I cant find anywhere else. The employees are friendly, accommodating, and helpful.
I live close by here and come often. Everyone is always so nice and great here, but recently and new employee started and wow! I have never ever met such a rude employee. I think she might be a manager. She had glasses and short brunette hair. But wow. She made me and my fiancee feel so uncomfortable. She acted as if we were bothering her to check out our food. It was just really bad. She was so rude.
They never have more than 2 registers open which can be pretty annoying when they are busy. Other than that I have never had an issue with anything in the store. Its clean, the employees are helpful, and they stay stocked up on their items.
Its a very pleasant place to stay let him suspect lot of nice people here I gave you a 5 rating
Great prices, fast and courteous service. Good quality meet.
Picked up a fresh whole rotisserie chicken for brunch today. Clean and friendly atmosphere.
If I needed to get supplies for meetings or groups S&F is my goto store. Clean. Well stocked. Nicely organized. Good prices. Friendly staff.
I love buy there everything are fresh
Alright customer service, I waited in line to pay for a good 20 minutes.( There werent a lot of people)
They have the best butter in southern California and they sell it in blocks.
Very slow, bad area
Great selections in a nice layout; many choices for warehouse size canned goods.
Poor customer service. Racist cashiers that are rude to customers. Store was filthy. Higher prices than other smart and finals. I will drive the extra 3 miles to avoid this place next time.
This store is always very clean and the personnel are always very upbeat, friendly and helpful that is why I frequent this store I can always find what I want and they have great sales as well I love this store
Gong in for electric lit water
Cashiers need to learn not to pack bags so heavy. Cashier today put a 5lb bag of potatoes and 2 jars of peanut butter in a bag.
Prices are fair cause you can get bulk items like Costco without the membership
Like all S&F stores this one is very good for somethings and not so good for others. Almost no pet food and this one lacks bulk items. I go once and a while for large quantity items when I need them.
Most items had no selection. Red bell peppers were 2.48$ each. Vons sells them 1.98$ each every day, even when costco doesnt have them.Went in looking for individual tabs of butter, bulk or single amount. No luck. I thought you were the go to store for bulk diner, coach, private store owners. A lot of time spent, walked out without a purchase.
Great place to shop, whether you need dinner for tonight, just milk, or 150 eggs (dont judge). Definitely use the weekly ads, for they have great sales, but the prices are good everyday on things like produce, eggs, and fresh salsa.Best place to get affordable-but-functional kitchenwares and foodservice things, too.Parking lot is spacious, but a nightmare to exit if youre trying to go east or north. Protip: take the exit by the liquor store to the side street. It has a signal onto Emerald, which makes crossing 3 lanes of traffic much easier.Dont expect an international section - a few shelves for Mexican, like 3 kinds of teriyaki sauce *and nothing else* for Asian food, and no designated Halal or Kosher shelf. IDK where the 100s of local restaurants get their bulk fish sauce and waribashi and rice noodles, but it aint Smart & Final.Overall: Great store, great staff, covers a range of purposes, not just bulk/restaurant stuff.
Best Smart & Final Ive ever been too large clean open Isles friendly good to go
I love this store. Everyone is helpful and friendly the store is clean and always well stocked.
Its right down the street from my house so its very convenient but they dont always have what Im looking for so thats a bummer but they typically have good prices on Meats Chicken in particular
Didnt have what we wanted.
This store is very clean and organized with great deals and amazing service.
Excuse me, share details: what is you want to know? Stop asking rhetoric questions, be specific what you want answer!
Well-stocked, clean. Some things are actually a better buy than nearby Costco. And then there are things that are relatively high, just like in any supermarket. I keep coming back for those things that are at a discount compared to elsewhere.
In and out very seriously. Attentive staff detected I didnt know where I was looking and pointed me in the right direction. They opened up another register when the line was long.
Small store, smartly laid out. I was in and out quickly.
I go to smart and final at least that location and every time I go I get treated very poorly.
Out of what I went for will have more tomorrow it was in Thier add and a good price
Great place for buying in bulk, almost like a little Costco
Good prices and great service.
Helpful employees. Friendly, great neighborhood shopping.
Love smart and final! Great selection, good prices
Convenient no hassle low prices great customer service
Everything you need for the kitchen all in one place
Im very dissapointed every time i go they are out of stock of something or food is expired
Cash.the cashier is really nice. Vista way and Emerald.
Worst smart and final experience Ive ever had
Horrible customer service. The store always smells like a sewer..wonder why and the cashiers look and behave like they dont even have a ged. I will take the time NOT to come to this store. They are rude and racist.
Store is kept very clean, employees are helpful but normally keep to themselves, friendly cashiers. Other then a tight parking lot this place is a go-to, oh just wish they carried condoms.
Lots of goodies at good prices. Comparable to costco
Not enough checkers, the line gets to long
Love this store. Good prices and a clean store.
Very nice place help full staff.
Good selection and prices in a small footprint.
Great, in and out no long lines.
Nice going. Good spot.
Good prices, good location, friendly staff
The ability to get bulk items without going to a membership store is great. Staff is friendly and the shelves are restocked quickly.
Good prices & selections
Great price for big stuff.
Prices are reasonable and a few of the employees have great customer service skills
Good customer service
