H-E-B

Hey y’all! I love this location I can always find what I need. It’s also a big location. With a small restaurant inside. It’s a cheaper version of whole foods with a variety of good quality brands.

I wish they had one of these in California! They have a great selection of produce and groceries and I loved their deli and bakery. There were several samples of items for you to try as well. You could even make your own peanut/​almond/​any kind of nut butter!

BEST H-​E-​B EVER! I was very impressed by the organization and cleanliness of the location since it’s pretty busy and attracts a lot of attention due to the restaurant that is attached. There was a great selection of produce (not surprising since most locations provide a fresh selection). They have a great selection of wines and beers there that make many other locations look like corner stores.
They have a great fresh meat section as well as a GREAT bakery! I was very impressed by their selection of cakes and small pastries. I will definitely be paying another visit soon.

The best hybrid of «conventional» and «specialty» grocery store for my family! Produce and meat seems fresh and reasonably priced (with many organic options), love all of the HEB deals and items, and I can still find my everyday brands for packaged food. Good selection of non-​food necessities, too. There are usually a lot of registers open, and they’re generally friendly. Have yet to try Table 57.

Okay this location of H-​E-​B is great for their fresh meats and usually have great options of sizes of anything you may want. also they have great parking space.

It’s been over a year since the new location has opened (holy crap I’m getting old fast), and 99% of my grocery shopping is done between here and Costco so I thought I’d update my review.
Parking is still kind of bad but not as bad as it was when they first opened. You still may have to walk quite a while.
Their produce is very fresh but their sealed salad bowls (that you can take to work) kind of took a turn to the south lately. Some of their salads even have pasta in them… who wants empty carbs with a healthy salad? Anyhoo, still, best produce section of all the local stores.
Their fishy smell is still there, especially when you come around 8 or 9 pm and unfortunately, it’s right next to the produce and the booth where the guy in the chef’s hat cooks up stuff so the good smell of the food with the smell of fish water doesn’t go well.
Also, I’m not a big fan of their layout. It seems that the same types of item are in 3 different spots in the store. Let’s say you want cheese. There is the consumer cheese section, then there is the fancy cheese section, and then there is the really fancy cheese section. Same with lunch meat. there is a foofoo section, the consumer section, and the deli.
All in all, I am pretty happy with them though so all my complaints are 1^st world type of issues.

The store is huge, with loads of fresh fruit, veggies, meats, wide-​range of delicious wines, large «health» sections, and tons of prepped meal selections (I.e. Fresh Bruschetta salmon burger patties — amazing!!! And easy to prepare a quick, different meal). I feel like I spent ~ the same $$ compared to shopping at Kroger and Walmart.

I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed this HEB! I’ve waited 2 years for this place to open and it did not disappoint. I love the layout of this store; very spacious and clean.
What I love most:
Seafoods section is huge and you don’t have to wait long to be served. Lobster and crawfish can be cooked and packed for travel.
Flowers section: fresh and plenty of nice arrangements for a good price.
Plenty of check out stations and the cashiers are so darn friendly.
They always have someone cooking in the middle of the store to promote products. It’s a great chance to grab some awesome recipes to try at home.
Sundays are the best time to visit hungry so you can try all the samples on the floor. Don’t forget to try out some of the wine they have on display as well.

This store is enormous. I remember going to the one that was on Westheimer and Fountain View. This store has everything you need. You can typically do all of your shopping at one location. It very spacious. They even have a restaurant inside of the grocery store (a first for me).
What I love most:
It is close to my home. Conveniently located.
What I dislike:
So big. I get confused and typically spend more time trying to navigate through the store.
Overall:
A good grocery store. Prices are affordable. Fast checkout lanes.

Just a damn good grocery store! Amazing beer and wine selections. They have a wide variety of food staples and specialty items. The butcher shop, deli and bakery are top notch. Ya can’t go wrong with HEB!

If you’re shopping anywhere else, lose my number!!!
I lived in the area when the previous HEB on Fountainview and Westheimer was still up and running, and as soon as this location opened it was immediately the best thing happening in my life. Awesome selection, good lay out, the staff is friendly and judging by some conversations I’ve had with them are well compensated and happy to be working there. On the first of the year I moved to East Downtown, and the ONLY thing I was worried about missing was this HEB. Now that I’m here I drive 12 miles across town, and past 2 other HEB’s just to do my shopping at this location. This place is AWESOME!!!
That being said, Buffalo Speedway and W. Alabama HEB need to step their game up!

HEB is definitely a cut above the rest. The staff is ALWAYS nice and helping. I’ve had a few discrepancies where my coupons were not applied, but customer service is quick to correct the problem.
The prices are amazing! Some things are cheaper at Kroger. I just kind of compare when I go so I know what things I should buy at which store to get the greatest savings. You can’t beat the produce section here though.
HEB regularly has awesome deals offered only through digital coupons downloaded from the HEB app. The best deal I’ve come across is the one they offered this week where Disney gift cards were $ 20 off $ 100 with no limit to the amount you could purchase, as long as inventory allowed. They have since changed the terms where it’s only one gift card per person. I was lucky enough to get this deal when it was first offered and got a whopping 20% off our upcoming Disney World trip. I purchased 30 $ 100 gift cards, saving my family $ 600! What a blessing!

This is my first time visiting the San Felipe location, and it’s quite different compared to other HEBs I’ve been to before. First off, this HEB has an actual dine-​in restaurant inside, which is pretty cool. For those who want to take a break from shopping or is really hungry, you can dine in at Table 57. I think next time I would like to try this restaurant. Then, they got a sushi station that offers hot entrees. Why visit a restaurant when there are so many options here at HEB?
I wouldn’t say this is the largest HEB location I’ve seen, but it has a lot more crammed into one building. I feel the aisles are much shorter compared to other grocery stores or other HEB locations. I liked that they have more variety of organic/​natural chicken available though– this seems to be lacking at other HEB locations. And I saw bagged lentils, which I instantly got two bags of (I wanted to get more but decided to try these first). Lentils are so hard to find at other HEB locations.
Today, as I was checking out, I heard an announcement that they were giving away stainless steel cooking ware as a one-​time promo thing on aisle 17 to all customers in a few minutes, with no purchase required. I checked out and went back to aisle 17, and there was a guy there doing demonstrations for a cooking tool. After his demonstration, he gave out a small knife. It’s a one-​time promo thing, but I think it’s cool that this store is doing that. I’ve never been to a store that does promos like this. Makes me wonder if they do other promos from time to time.

I think this is a top notch grocery store. After going here for a while and going to another store, everything else just feels so small.
They have a great deli and fresh foods department. A lot more selection than most HEBs. Their orange plate deal is a deal. You can get stuff cheaper through that than buying it separately.
The staff are always super polite. The check out lines always have enough people. I can get in and out quickly even at the busiest times.

H-​E-​B is one of my favorite stores to get groceries from. They have a really good selection of produce; even tho the layout can be confusing and things aren’t where you expect them to be. But you do get used to it just like I did. They have a real nice selection of wine and beer. They have nice selection of fresh cut cheeses and boxed imported cheeses also. They have a nice deli and a good restaurant attached also. I would not suggest going here right after work because it gets crowded and you would have to wait for people to get out of the way, because I like taking my time and not having to wait for anyone either. One other thing I like about this place is every time I’ve been there and the store started getting busy the manager would put more cashiers on the floor.

I really like this heb location even though the set up is a bit strange to me. I love that they have an abundance of variety of products. Going into the bakery section alone, I immediately fell in love. just because there is so much to choose from and it’s only one part of the store!
Their produce and meat are very fresh and the store is very clean. I’m not on this side of town so I probably won’t be shopping here, but if I’m in the area and need to grab a few things then I’ll definitely be making a stop here.

I was at HEB last week for dinner and drinks at the restaurant they have inside, the food was delicious and priced right and the portions from the snack bite menu were decent size as well. Erec was the manager on duty and he ensured our food was fresh and we were satisfied.

I’ve become a huge fan of H-​E-​Bs, and this is a huge step up from the former Fountainview/​Westheimer location. It moved up toward Tanglewood/​River Oaks which meant it wanted to compete with a new Kroger’s and Whole Foods. The result is a fantastic competition among them all with the game upped.
I would say I still prefer the Buffalo Speedway HEB to this one. This one has a fancy schmancy wine bar, BBQ restaurant, food tastings on the weekends…, But their clientele isn’t as young-​and-​hot for all the guys who scoped the yoga and spin class girls at Buffalo Speedway. (Yeah, I said it, and you know who you are! Point 1: BuffSpeed) Also, there’s something still down-​to-​earth about the BuffSpeed location that just isn’t here. This one is like a model home – there’s something not quite personable or lived in about it yet. (Point 2: BuffSpeed)
In it’s quest to up it’s game, it lacks some very basic brands that makes me a little sad. However, that means some of your more Central Market-​esque items are here. The insanely tall ceilings subsequently painted black actually make me feel less comfortable than the lower ceilings of other locations.
Also, the layout reminds me more of an Ikea or Central Market, with the intention to circle you through some very specific areas, even if roundabout. (Point 3: BuffSpeed)
The service is really nice. I came on a rainy Saturday, and there were people to escort you back to your car with HUGE golf umbrellas. I wonder how long that will last. The parking is also a lot easier to get in and out of. (Points 1 and 2: San Felipe)

Though this is now farther than before for me to drive, there’s plenty to like about this new HEB location.
I was worried that it would be a consistent madhouse, but I have always been able to find decent parking and have had no issues getting in/​out of the parking lot.
My first trip around the store I made sure to take note of where everything was. I did get turned around once, but no big deal. All the perimeter departments are very spacious — produce, meats, dairy, deli.
Good item selection and pricing. Easily accessible store coupons for related items are everywhere. Everything is still very neat (it’s new, but hopefully stays this way).
Lots of check out lines with various options for self checkout, less than 10 items, etc.
I still haven’t tried Table 57 yet… one of these days…

Woooooowwwwwww! So this is what everybody was talking about. I felt a little bad when the H.E.B. off of Westheimer/​Fountainview closed down and pondered me on why this busy store would just disappear over night for me. Driving further down the road I came upon the grand daddy of any H.E.B. I’ve ever seen. Someone took an H.E.B. store and shot it up with steroids and here is what you get, all muscle and no winky dinky.
Everything you could find any any «other» flagship store is here including a few places to eat. They were closed when I got here but there is a Sushi place, a bbq counter and probably another that I missed.
Every isle and corner you turn you will find something that you won’t find at your local stock store like a dedicated beef jerky place, spices, cheese, olives, candies, breads, meats, teas you name it you are guaranteed to find it here.
Household items that are unique to find are here too for example those granite ice cubes you freeze then put in your drink to keep cold, stone shot glasses and just things you expect to find a one of those weird import stores.
Parking, have you ever seen a place where an 18 wheeler could drive down a row and literally back up into a parking place if one existed? Well the space exists here, there is about a 20 feet gap in between parking isles so if you happen to back up and hit someone else’s vehicle here? You must either be Asian or tended to drive home backwards, they could really fit another isle of parking spots there.
The wine selection is obviously huge and there are wine tastings here at times.
