New to the area and decided to try Smart & Final based on reviews. I have to say I’m not impressed. Some of the prices were decent, but generally I found them to be higher than Walmart. The store was clean enough, but variety/selection was lacking. I have both a Sam’s and Costco card and sometimes just don’t want to deal with the crowds so I shop elsewhere. I think I will stick to Walmart from now on.

Staff sucks. Prices are marked wrong. When I tried to show the cashier she replied«no, this item is never that low». Bitch

Love coming here for the cheap prices Like what others say, if you don’t have a Costco card, smart and final is your go to place. They have wholesale stuff for cheaper price. They sell muffins, milk, eggs, frozen food, pretty much a little bit of everything! For parties, this is your go to place for candy and chips. Sometimes they have really good sales and you don’t need a card or anything to get the good deals and cheap prices they offer. For fruits, I would say it is decent priced here. But meat has a good prices sometimes. Lines can get long since there seems to be always one cashier person when I shop. But they always end up having another cashier person for back up. I never had bad customer service here. Employers are nice. Love how they open later too! Nice and tidy smart and final I would say. Everything here is very organized.

My family is not that big so super mega size Costco sizes are just way to much unneeded product so I shop smart and final. This location in particular is huge. I used to go to the one off El Cajon now I call this location home. The have a huge grocery section and everything you need if your throwing parties or have a small business. The reason I’m able to throw amazing parties is partly due to smart n final. I get my storage containers for guest to take take home plates, plates to make fruit and veggie trays, containers to make Jell-O shots, and all the snacks need to get them threw each month. Everything I buy regularly I buy in bulk here with no membership fees.

For those of us you don’t have costco cards this is our go to place. Especially when planning a party or cooking for large groups. Saves so much $$ then going to retail brand stores such as ralphs, vons, albertsons. I usually get chicken, ground beef and artichoke hearts from here. I also like how they have a variety of sizes on paper plates, cups and to go trays. Happy shoppings!

Always long and very sloowwwwww lines, sale items from add are always out of stock by the weekend. Last time I came and the item was out of stock, they denied me a rain check but offered me to pre-pay for the item and keep coming back till the item was instock. Which took a week and a half and two trips to the store. The cashiers for the most part are very nice. The people stocking items seem to be very busy to listen to the customer who couldn’t find an item and never came back to help. I give the store one star, and that’s cause the nice young gentleman who was cashiering apologized for the long lines. How about a manager opening more lanes??? Ever heard at that smart & final? Costco has dozens of lanes opened at a time. I’ll just go there if I want a speedy check out or if I’m in a hurry.

I recently stopped shopping at this store. The prices are fine and so is the selection courteousis fine. The staff on the other hand is awful! The manager does not train them to be courteous. The cashier Correna thinks her ghetto poop doesn’t stink. She is a disrespectful little twit. When I told her manger Eric he looked at me like I was wasting his time. They need to show some respect to the people bringing them money. Very disappointed in this stupid and final store.

Who needs Costco or Sam’s Club? This place has the large quantities for cheap. Good stuff and the store is well-maintained.

Great prices and great staff. Everyone always friendly. Love the well stocked aisles and fresh produce. I always get my milk here(or Costco). Can’t find the quality or price anywhere else.

Smart & Final is one of those national grocery chain stores that sell items in bulk. I like to shop here from time to time when Im looking to buy certain things in the larger sizes such as coffee creamer, sodas & the like. I also appreciate the fact that they sell my favorite BBQ sauce KC Masterpiece in the large 1 gallon containers which eliminates the need for me to buy 3 small bottles for a typical BBQ session in the back yard. The employees are helpful & friendly & the store is always well organized & clean. I would recommend this store to anyone who needs anything in the larger sizes that are not typically carried in the other markets.
