H-E-B

I was going to The HEB on Pearland parkway, but this one is so much better and worth the little extra drive. They have an excellent cheese dept and they have the hot deli here. I love the salads and chicken dishes that are quick and easy to pick up. The lay out seems to flow so much better as well. The Pearland one just feels like a grocery store, but this my friend is a REAL HEB!

I love this heb it’s the best besides central market. It always has what my family needs on top of samples and tons of recipe cards that we always snatch up to make something new. Produce is always fresh and the women in that area are on point guys ;) .(yoga pants). We have tried other stores in the area and nothing compares. So keep up the good work heb and take my 500 dollars a month.

They are constantly out of several of the things I buy at HEB. I told the manager and he wrote down everything specifically. I went back 3 times over the next two weeks and they STILL were out of EVERYTHING I specifically asked for. I don’t really understand how they can let shelves be completely empty for that long and not notice themselves. Plus this particular HEB is way overpriced on a lot. I just go to Kroger now.

Don’t go there on the weekend. It’s very busy. They run out of many items. It’s quite crowded. The lines get long. In the evening when they stuck up they block The aisles. I’ve been to better HEB’s.

It’s an alright HEB, definitely better ones out there. They have a good natural health section. Cashiers are friendly. However the baggers on the other hand can use A LOT of training. Seriously, Helen Keller would be able to bag groceries better than any of them. It’s so annoying having to re bag your things! HEB hop on this stat!

Grocery store has had fruit flies the past month swarming over all of the produce. A package of their bakery fresh tortillas purchased was stinky on the best by date and molded the next day.
The gas station placed $ 100 in hold for the transaction I cancelled accidentally when I cancelled their offer for a fuel additive– nothing was purchased yet the $ 100 remain on hold a week later for that card swipe. I had to rerun the card because I canceled the entire transaction unintentionally, and thats when they placed a second $ 100 hold on my debit card for a total of $ 200 of my money that they still have on hold for $ 26 of gas that they have already received the funds for from my bank. And tomorrow will be 7 days that they have had my $ 200 on hold. Speaking to my bank, HEB never sent in the hold releases after they were paid so I just have to wait it out. That practice should be illegal. It is one thing to place a $ 100 hold of my money until a transaction clears but another to never release it– and then to keep $ 100 on hold for the cancelled transaction that never made a sale??? $ 200 7 day hold is excessive for a $ 26 purchase.
I am not sure what is going on at this store, but very disappointed there lately– switching to Kroger :(

Staff is very helpful, even the teenagers who want to be somewhere else. It can get very packed at certain times, especially when people block aisles with the carts. (Don’t do that people!)
Love the coffee selection and organic options, along with the convenience of having paper products, make up, bath and baby stuff, small appliances and a florist. Just don’t go right after work.

Ok first off I just want to say I like this particular HEB store. It’s really nice and has a little bit of everything. The gas station and car wash leaves a little but to be desired unfortunately. I went to the car wash today and I was waiting on the car in front of me to finish their wash. As I’m watching them the arm that dispenses the soap and watch came off of the track and hit the car it was washing. The car was able to pull out of the car wash but I’m sure it had some kind of damage. Of course I backed out of the lane you wait in and went to the teller at the gas station and told him what happened. He actually told me that was suppose to happen and he would reset it so I should go back through. I laughed at him and said I don’t think so I just need a refund. He said he doesn’t give refunds so I went into the store and talked to a manager. They didn’t give me a refund just an HEB card for the amount. I guess that’s good enough. Just thought I would warn anyone thinking about using that car wash. Use at your own risk.

Very nice store. Shelves are always stocked nicely. Shop and eat, as there are always samples. Fresh sushi, great selection.

Trying to find a medium sized German Chocolate cake in late November is the most difficult thing ever. On November 21, my sister and I travelled to 8 different HEB’s and 4 Kroger’s to find my mum her favorite cake.
Hint here:
We travelled from South Houston to this hidden HEB in Friendswood. It was a long and lengthy drive. All the HEB’s and Kroger’s we went to had a reserved parking spot in the very front passed the handicapped parking. That was really cool because usually it isn’t like that, on the regular if you drive onto a parking lot at a grocery store you have to park like ten miles from the store which is the longest walk of life.
This HEB was different—
–parking was a walk from the store and we found it from rude customers who like to mind themselves and not others.
–This HEB is a huge labyrinth; everything you are ever looking for is always hiding from you and when you do find it its golden.
So there we were screaming and yelling for joy. I picked out this oolong cake that looked very moist topped with chocolate and coconut. I then asked the baker if she could write Happy Birthday (my mum’s name) in hot pink and she was delighted.
Everybody in the checkout line was nice, friendly, and rewarding. Even the cashier had a big smile on her face. It felt like I was in a dream, but it was real life.
Hint here: I don’t eat coconuts, or anything that is shredded with coconut. The texture and taste doesn’t appeal to me, but the richness of the cake was amazing.
That was an experience and it was a good one.

Once upon a time, I lived right next to Central Market and made a habit of stopping by at 8:01 AM for a bagel, coffee, and love dip. Yadda, yadda, yadda, and three years later, I’m living part time in Denver and part time in Friendswood.
Do I miss being close to Central Market, Whole Foods, Revival Market, and several farmer’s markets? The answer is a resounding yes. But HEB is a pretty good substitute.
The pros of this store are many: the cheese selection is good for a suburban grocery store; there’s a My Fit Foods kiosk; usually a good selection of inexpensive flowers; a «natural living» section with bulk spices, essential oils, vitamins, probiotics, and similar; a small selection of CM foods like the aforementioned love dip. (Pro tip: this HEB carries products by a company called zum in the natural living section. Every one of the products are amazing.)
The cons: the bakery isn’t amazing, and the meats aren’t as high quality as I’d like. It’s also usually very crowded and a little stressful.
Overall, this is my favorite grocery store in the area. It’s not going to be a Whole Foods or Central Market, but it’s good for everyday grocery shopping.

Compared to some of the stores in Galveston, this one is great if you are already up in the Dickinson/​Friendswood area. They have a ton of options and usually it’s a little bit cheaper than some other grocery stores. The first time I came here, the produce section was A+. Everything I bought was fresh and delicious. This experience made me want to come back and shop here again, even if it is a little out of the way. The second time was not so great. A staple on my grocery list is fresh fruit and vegetables. Yes, I eat normal food too but the green items usually take over my cart. The raspberries were smashed. Every single carton. Most of the strawberries were moldy and smashed, and the blueberries were also. I don’t like making two different trips to two different grocery stores after work for my grocery store staples. I will try HEB again, but just check the produce, especially the fruits!

This is a nice HEB. During peak shopping hours this place is packed! Try to get a small cart to make getting around the crowds easier. Also, HEB’s trail mixes are amazing.

Good HEB grocery store. I like it. They have everything I need, including a fresh sushi area. Lots of options. Many cashiers and baggers. The only downside is that it has so many shoppers! haha

Great and friendly place to shop. Everyone there is so great to my two young children. My only complaint is that sometimes they run out of items in the bulk bin section, and they often don’t have the deli hummus (which is delicious!). Other than that, this is our first choice for grocery shopping in the area.

Traveling through the Texas Hill Country, I look for HEB gas stations where I can fill up. I stopped at the HEB in Hondo, TX recently and saw the sign about the $.12 discount on gas when using the HEB gift card. I purchased a gift card that would cover several fill ups. I returned to Houston, drove out of my way to get to an HEB gas station, and discovered, much to my dismay, that the promotion is not recognized in the «Houston area». Then to add insult to injury, I found that the «Houston area» includes College Station and Beaumont. That is a really large part of Texas. They should have their signage more specific as to areas where it is recognized.

Just can’t get enough. Grassfed ribeyes and burger patties, grassfed butter, Wild caught seafood, blue stars and yellow diamonds… Descent organic options. My local Krogers isn’t on this bus. Stay bulletproof and buy grassfed. Give that factory farmed beef laced with sickness and hormones to our prisoners or anybody else you hate. Hello neighbor, I made you a steak!

I live in Galveston but used to drive to this HEB because it was CLEAN, upscale, had great produce, abundant specialty items and also a Central Market Café on the Run.
Well, over the past year they’ve removed the CM Café On The Run and replaced it with a lackluster «deli» full of fried crap like wings, eggrolls and sausage. The specialty items have become more run-​of-​the-​mill stuff like Goya brand salsa and they downsized their coffee and bulk-​goods section; and the produce (as others here have recently noted) has suffered severely in freshness and quality. Who wants to buy limp asparagus, wilted spinach or mushy eggplant? AND the cleanliness and orderliness of the shelves and aisles has suffered.
I mean, come on! There are only three grocery stores in the area (two Krogers and this HEB) and the Krogers are winning hands down. Friendswood is an affluent upper-​middle-​class community, so I can’t imagine this HEB not being profitable nor their customers wanting more «upscale» items.
Sigh, I’ll just save myself the gas money and shop at the Kroger Signature Store in League City on SH 96 or HEB at FM 646.
HEB certainly dropped the ball on allowing this store to degrade; its become more like an over-​sized version of their previous low-​end «Pantry» store concepts.

Disappointing for an HEB. I love HEB, but the produce at this store is lackluster, the meat section smells bad, the bakery has very limited options (although you can get their warm tortillas there – just white and whole wheat), and the wine selection is also not up to the standards I have for HEB. It makes me want to drive to Houston or Sugarland for fresh produce! Really too far to do on a regular basis, so sometimes I go to Kroger! Kroger! C’mon, HEB. I know you can do better than this. Kroger also has a better cheese section. I will say, the folks are always friendly at HEB. I want to give 3 stars, but when produce is rotten… it should not be out there for sale! Would also like to see more greens and organic options.

Why is it that the company that brought us Central Market can’t do a little more with its suburban stores? The produce section is too small and the quality is frequently poor. A larger meat & seafood counter would be nice. Have you seen the bakery at a Central Market? The HEB selection doesn’t need to be as large, but a wider selection of high quality breads would be wonderful. The same could be said of the cheese counter, deli, and wine selection.
Nevertheless, this is our local market and we like it.
