H-E-B

They carry healthy fit meals! Great to pop in the microwave! I posted photos of a few options they have!

HEB has quality products at great prices period

This location is okay. Looks a bit outdated and doesn’t have the Café On the Run like the ones in Houston. Was a bit bummed since I am here for work and work right next door. Was hoping for a fresh panini or those salads they have. Nothing too spectacular about the place but no complaints either.

Macaroons they have love this bakery a dozen macaroons is $ 16.95…the birthday cakes are so creative and yummy and I am lugging pounds of blood oranges back to H town where we can’t get them — 4 bottles of bubbly to drink by pool $ 10-​cannot score that in H town either — really impressed with staff had no bags so crammed all items in our purses

Idk why so many people don’t like this location. My parents and I never experienced any troubles here. We’ve actually been going to this location for 10 years or more at this point.
I love HEB in general for their reasonable prices!

Love this neighborhood HEB. Clean store, well organized and friendly employees. I’m new to Austin from Houston and had no idea that this area was bag-​less! Thankfully the checker was awesome and took the time to inform me of some of the need-​to-​know things about Austin – good, bad and «weird.» Thanks for the warm welcome HEB!

Martha is outside, in the cold, without a sweater and she so kindly helped me load my groceries and then went so far as to take my buggie back to the front of the store. Give Martha a raise!

HEB is a class act in Texas!!! Great selection, great employee’s, great quality and great locations.

Wow, the hate for this shop is astounding. I actually like this HEB, I find it better than the one I used to go to in Round Rock on Gattis school rd. Yes parking is a little challenging, but is that really what matters? I think the food selection is great, with organic products, nuts, etc…

I simply detest this HEB. Overall, I like the HEB chain, but this store is wrong on so many levels. Employees are completely disinterested in you, and the managers just don’t care. In fact, managers will start arguing with you when you levy a complaint with them.
On one Friday night, a friend and I went in there to make a purchase. It was late, but i managed to buy a 6 pack of beer at 11:58pm, just under the wire. My friend was behind me in the same line, so I waited for him to complete his purchase, and we headed out the door. I was stopped by a manager who told me that it was now after midnight, and he couldn’t allow beer out the door at this point, and that I could bring in my receipt during business hours the next day to gey my 6 pack. I showed him my receipt time off purchase, and told him flat out if that was the case he shouldn’t allow beer sales until 11:59 knowing people aren’t going to make the door in time, and that I’m dammed well taking my beer. His response was, «don’t let it happen again». You can imagine what mine was.
I’ll travel a little further to the store at Anderson Mill. It’s cleaner, bigger, and nicer, without the attitude.

This is the HEB that I go to somewhat frequently, but only because I work in the area. It really convenient for picking up ingredients before I head home to cook bae some of my world famous bison steak spaghetti.
Convenience is the only reason I come here. Sometimes it’s not even worth it and I’ll just go to my normal HEB on the way home. It’s just that this store is dark. The produce section is oddly organized. The staff is nice, especially in the pharmacy, but that’s the only real positive going on here. I do also enjoy the lunch break wine samples. If I lived in the area, I’d probably actually shop at the Randall’s across the street. I’m ashamed to say that because I love HEB, but damn this one is not great.

I love HEB for pretty much everything, but I bought flowers here yesterday and today they’re practically dead. I’ve never seen cut flowers go downhill so quickly. I’m seriously disappointed and would never recommend buying flowers here unless you only want something that looks pretty for 8 hours.

Whoa, Nellie: They tried to slip in a $ 12.00 charge for cilantro, an item of which I had not a leaf, much less the full cart-​load which would encompass $ 12 worth! Plus the cashier conveniently «forgot» to give me my 25% discount off an $ 8.16 whole chicken, so they tried to rip me off for $ 13.64 on a $ 75.00 total purchase. Truly astounding. This is why I avoid HEB generally, well, this plus the plain rudeness & sheer ignorance of the employees. Every time I had a question, the person working in that part of the store didn’t know the answer but had to go find someone else to answer me. for once, this wasn’t a language issue; could probably have resolved that with my Spanish. just ignorance. so yes, once or twice yearly I shop in this store after seeing docs @ Seton NW, but never again — our old bookkeeper Nellie would haunt me from her grave if I held truck with a store that tried to pad my bill by $ 13+.

Is your refrigerator a little sad inside?
Do you need groceries?
Do you like KRAFT American Cheese?
Do you need some Beer?
How about some Wine?
You feeling like a bag of Cheetos would be nice as well?
Do you like Deli Meat?
Are you into freshly baked Bread?
Would you care for a free sample?
Does going to Whole Foods annoy you?
Would you be into the idea of buying nuts and grains in bulk?
Do you like shopping carts shaped like Race Cars?
If you answered Yes to any (or all) of the above questions, you should probably just go to HEB. This particular HEB is just as good as any other. The folks are nice enough, the food selection is good enough, and the beer selction is good enough.

Where is YOUR HEB?
MY HEB is also my FAVORITE HEB. Why? The people! Not only are the employees the friendliest and the employee turnover rate seems to be 1%, but the customers are even friendlier here too. At no other HEB in the Austin area has another customer commented on something I’ve put in my basket, or thrown on the belt at the checkout stand.
Today, for example, I was grabbing a freshly baked ciabatta baguette when this super friendly woman started telling me about buying bread in Europe. She told me about all the places she had lived in Germany and when I asked what she did there, she said «I can’t tell you.» I smiled and she quickly added, «CIA.» I sh*t you not. She mentioned another job that she had and something else about her daughter-​in-​law but all I wanted to do is ask her about her years as Carrie «Homeland» Mathison.
I went on to the grab some HEB Taste of San Antonio coffee k-​cups for my Keurig and some Texas eggs. I passed by the freshly made sushi, including my favorite spring rolls but only because I’m trying to save moolah this month.

I hate this HEB. Mainly for the parking lot alone, which is terrible. I seriously have the worst time trying to find parking and end up walking from far away. The produce section of this HEB kind of creeps me out. It isn’t as bright and spread out as other HEBs that I have been to. The only thing going for this location is that it is pretty big and able to get a lot of product in the store.

This HEB never fails to fail.
They routinely run out of items very early, like 7pm. Milk, eggs, produce, beans, etc. If I shop at 9pm, I will leave the store missing at least two items for my recipes, and sometimes, it’s not possible to make a substitution. They remove the fresh items like roasted chicken from the displays by 7pm, which seems a little unkind to those who were planning to eat said chicken for dinner.
Last Sunday night at 6:30pm, stockers and their huge pallets of merchandise blocked the aisles. Is it me, or I thought that was supposed to happen after 9pm at the earliest? Are we at walmart?
When I shop on Sunday or Monday night, there are never any checkout packers. My wife and I packed $ 120 worth of groceries ourselves with no help from anyone. On the next trip, I watched the older man in front of me pack all his groceries himself. And then, once again, I packed my groceries all by myself.
Last week I was sold «shredded gruyère» which turned out not to be gruyère. It was SOFT (gruyère is a hard cheese) and it didn’t taste like gruyère in my recipe… The kicker? I had asked the deli worker to help me find the gruyère cheese. They couldn’t help me.
Random alarms sound from the bakery area. All the shoppers turn to look, wondering if a nuclear detonation is imminent.
The sad thing is that I really like the layout of this store, and the location is GREAT. But whoever is managing this store really needs to step it up… please step it up.

These guys are always out of stuff by the time the sun sets! They are clearing out produce and prepared foods by 8:00PM. If they could get their checkout lines to move faster and keep their produce and other things more well-​stocked then I think it would be a good 4-​star rating. They do have great seasonal items so you should always check that aisle!

I live within walking distance of this HEB. While there are some other HEBs that are nicer, this one is the one I frequent the most. The selection is much smaller than other HEBs I used to frequent as well as the latest one I LOVE, the lakeline one.
Produce aka fresh fruits and veggies can be a hit or miss. I bought strawberries from this HEB once, took them home and found MOLD on them on careful inspection at home. Took them back to the store since I was upset that it hadn’t even been 24 hours, and they asked if I wanted to exchange them. I said I did until I looked at all the other strawberries and saw they all had mold as well and they ended up just giving my money back.
The self check out is great and the frozen cabinets are renovated with motion sensors which I LOVE haha. I also love the HEB coupons as they give you great deals on stuff you may want to buy, which is great!
Note: people park like douches in the spots by jamba juice and Bombay bistro area as those spots are smaller. You’ve been warned.

This HEB has a weird layout. Normal supermarkets have produce in one side of the store, along the walls; this HEB has produce in the center of the store. It’s actually more convenient and puts healthy stuff front and center so shoppers are encouraged to get fruits and vegetables instead of unhealthy processed junk food.
This HEB is pretty big and packs a wide selection of goods.
The worst thing about this HEB is the entrance/​exit is only one set of sliding glass doors so shoppers entering are always colliding with shoppers exiting.
This HEB’s parking lot is always fairly full while the Randalls across Braker Lane has few cars.
As typical of all Austin HEBs, the cashiers here are always really friendly.
