I shop here for all the stuff they dont carry at Costco.. They always have what I need.
Glad they opened up in Mira Mesa! A little bit more convenient than Costco and the pricing for bulk sugar to feed our rescue bees is comparable to Costco without it being an hour journey Everytime 🤣
Nice selection and well stocked shelves but the single checkout line tempted me to give up on my mid-weekday visit. Ive seen shorter lines for rides at Disneyland. It did keep moving and only(?) took slightly more than 10 minutes to reach the checkstand. The cashier confided that they have spent some time restocking items from abandoned carts. If you must save a few cents on your groceries and have the time, then I suppose its worth the wait in this current stage of the pandemic.
Disappointed. Google says they close at 11pm but they actually close at 10pm. They should update their hours
Good time (for my wife and I) was 1:30 pm. Some people still will block the aisle but a little patience goes a long way!
On a late friday afternoon of a holiday weekend, everyone in the store was polite and wearing masks. I didnt see a single nose uncovered. Shoppers stepped aside to make room for others who needed to pass in the aisles. They backed out of the way with a smile if another shopper came down too close.The store was clean and tidy and well stocked. The employees were in a good mood. There were good sales on picnic items for the holiday. Always beautiful cut flowers.10/10 would recommend
Clean and wide variety of items. Great service
Good price, find all food i need
That was the nicest Smart and Final Ive ever been to.
They seem to be well stocked. Everything is clean, and I like the new checkout process. A single line, and you get called to the next cashier. The only reason I didnt give 5 stars is that the aisles are just a bit too narrow. Two people can barely squeeze by.
As a new instacart shopper the young lady in Bakery was very helpful in helping me find items Alyssa my cashier was is extremely patient and very helpful!! She needs 1000% star rating!
Good place to shop for stuff.
I love this store...Checkout lines are long, however they move so smoothly and fast. So do not be afraid if you see a long line it goes really fast...Thank you, SMART and FINAL in the MIRA MESA STORE
I am great admirer of sprouts mission. And having this store is a great help. Great selections and variety of goods. Nice and clean environment.
They still have one line to checkout. Stocked we?
Clean store. Long line for register but it moves pretty quick. Nice cashier Lloyd.
COVID means you cannot depend on stock being available; suppliers are not dependable. They have changed their checkout line, in response to Covid. But their prices are reasonable, and their selection includes larger sizes, and commercial supplies. I shop there regularly, and enjoy the experience.
Excellent service, love tue store always clean and staff very helpful
All the crew there are always helpful, I enjoy the great customer service, thanks to all men and women who do an awesome job 👍
There is very organized, usually I find everting I need !has lines but is so quick .
Normal big box store that is way over priced. Chain makes no effort to compete with other food stores. Only advantage to shopping here is convenience of location.
Great people and great store. The checkout line was very long and intimidating, however it went extremely fast. Great selection and good prices. Love this store!
I think Ive mentioned in past reviewswhat an utter disappointment shoppinghere is. They have a poor selection inthe best of times, but with the COVIDsituation they seemed to just let it rundown. The frozen food selection is adisaster. They took what was a hugeAlbertsons/Hagens store and cut thefloor space by at least a third. If youneed a pack of 500 Styrofoam togocontainers or a gallon can of quesocheese, theyre the place to go.Everyday grocery shopping seemsto secondary to their traditionalwarehouse concept. The onlypositive is that the staff is veryfriendly and helpful
Well stocked, friendly staff, great store, no complaints.
Average food quality and average service
Buying in bulk helped save me money. I like that I can find my favorite beverages (soda, water, and Gatorade). Oh, and I can get great fresh produce.
Most of the staff was nice, my cashier was, however, lackluster. Even the female retrieving carts was kind and told everyone leaving Thank you and have a great day!
Well, I went there for some fresh produce but it was all wilted and yucky. I did manage to get what I wanted tho. I thought their prices were high as well. Not sure if Ill go back.
Good store. Usually has really good produce. They dont clean the carts but they do have a station with cleaner.
Staff were helpful, and it was a SUPER easy shopping experience when they opened!
This is better. Current arrangements fits.
Love that they have affordable flowers for the dinner table. The produce is great, party and baking isle on point but as a mom I wished they had a toy isle because I love bringing home non edible treats home to my kids...otherwise a great store!!!
In general, I give stores props for staying open during this crisis but this location was just... meh. Sure, it was a Sunday at 8pm but come on -- ran out of hand sanitizer for customers to use while cleaning their own carts, the organic tomatoes were not fresh -- Im looking at you, moldy heirlooms --, the customer line was 8 people deep and they only had 2 registers open. *Sigh*
Had just what I needed. In and out in no time.
I like Smart & Final for the ability to find both standard size and club size products AND in comparison to other local grocery stores I can say that my costs are 25% lower. The service is great and the clerks are outgoing and helpful. The produce section is not the best, short life for fruits and vegetables when I get them home tells me not the freshest. Their house brand First Street has hits and misses. Always ample parking.
Its good but not much these days cuz of Rona I guess.
Good for a quick grocery run...
Awesome like always.
I went in for some hot Cheetos and a vitamin water for my daily lunch. They are handling the covid situation very well. I was in and out!
Love this store, very convenient and has everything we need!
The place looks neat & clean, but the produce people should try be a little more friendly or at least smiling. Theres a few checkout clerks who are just awesome.
In area & picked up a few things. Not too long of check out line. Its a little pricey.
Its a decent place to shop Im probably not being fair its not really their fault they have nothing on the shelves
Thnking Covid19, I really like the way they have their check out process set up. One lane, 6 markings on the floor, plexi glass shields, best of all was they sterilizr the entire grocery conveyor belt! Excellent job!
Have lots, but runs out of some basics. Even before pandemic. I bought six bags and did not receive help with even one.
Looks great. Very friendly staff. Fantastic prices all the time! Im just wondering why they are only using 2/3 of the building, the south 1/3 of the building is currently reserved to be another store called Home Goods.Beware the fine print of must buy x amount. They need to make that print larger and perhaps red.
Daron Is a wonderful employee very personable and professional and helpful and friendly and very helpful he is an excellent assistant manager and I would recommend him for a Full management position and a raise!
Quick, easy, fair priced.Some organicNothing fancy
Im impressed with the cleanliness of the store! The prices on alot of there meats were amazingly lower then other grocery stores that I have been to. A great place to buy in bulk and to stock up on some of my now favorite items!
I always have a great shipping experience at S&F
Were happy
I like this place so I always come here for my groceries.
Meat section is the best here. Low prices and you can buy in bulk. Get the brisket!!!
You have to sit their and make sure every price is correct, because what it rings up is the final price, even if it says is on sale. And they do NOT help you fix their stupid system. F Justin. If you want to have a bad day. Come to smart and final.
I like this store because they carry some items I cant find anywhere else. My favorite is the fresh squeezed orange juice machine! Yumm, its the best! Once I tried it, I could never go back to a commercial orange juice product.
The Smart & Final Express store within a mile of my house is becoming more and more my favorite store in a relatively compact space they have made an excellent selection of products both specific products for personal use and larger Warehouse Supply type items and I find their prices are quite competitive matching Walmart many times and always better than Target I say this is definitely a success I like it better than the former stores that were at that location and the Personnel are very helpful and courteous and I like the fact that they have the mobility carts Im 79 and have trouble getting around and the mobility cart helps me shop more completely good job Smart & Final youve got a good concept here it should work in any location 40 years ago I was associated with Thrifty Mart the big red T and Smart & Final was our main wholesaler. I would definitely recommend this Smart & Final Express to anybody
There was a good selection we were able to find everything we were looking for. There is ample parking in the parking area. Its a business that I would be happy to return to
Great prices. Orderly check out.
Friendly staff and the lines arent too long. The prices are decent with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. This location also has bulk foods such as trail mix, etc.
Very nice store. Visiting from out of town and stopped for a few things. Best Smart and Final Ive ever been to! Wish Las Vegas had a Smart & Final Extra!
Got what I needed and exercise too.. In & out and 200 extra steps to find the end of the empty queue all in less than 15 mins.
Great customer service and fast checkout as well I will definitely return
Their lines were overloaded with customers waiting to check out. They opened 2 extra lines and invited people in line to come over. I was on my bluetooth with a friend and didnt realize that I had stepped ahead of someone who should have gone first. The cashier, who was an assistant manager, made sure to let me know that I had committed a horrible crime. As a customer service manager, I can say with great confidence that this is NOT how to handle such a situation - you NEVER make your customers feel bad, especially if they unknowingly made a mistake. If I was in her position, I would have apologized on my behalf to the person that was cut off, and explained that I was oblivious to her due to me being on the phone. Rather than pay it forward, she has diminished her credibility as a manager for the store. Unimpressed.
Big store and good products
Decent prices with wide range of choices. Good for wholesale buy. No membership card/sign-up required for low discount prices.
Right now most spice r out
I love the renovations theyve made since being in the Target mall area. Organized well when looking for particulars and the cashiers managed the line exceptionally.
A little hard to navigate the aisles because there were displays in the way. Otherwise clean store with friendly employees
Smart And Final is my supper market. I always shop there. The produce is the best and lowest cost in town.
Everything you need for a great price. Much cheaper without the coupon hassles of Vons.
Does anyone want to tell me just why the damn donuts are to perfection every time and so well priced these donuts omg
A young man was making orange juice as I walked in. He was very polite and asked me if he could help me with anything. Nice experience only complaint bakery needs to sell smaller packages also.
Horrible customer service!!! I was picking out apples and the worker was standing there watching me. I asked him if I was in his way and he said, “not at all”. Then he started fixing the apples and told me that I can grab some off the cart and left me (the customer) standing there so I left the store without buying anything!!! The store just loss some revenue, thanks to your employee!!! I’m NEVER going back there.
Good place to shop
Good prices but isles are usually hard to navigate and busy most of the time.
I was very impressed with this Smart & Final. It has the same look and feel of the other stores but with the addition of a dry bulk goods area, a bakery, fresh sushi area, and a US Bank.
Great prices. Very friendly staff. Long opening hours. Fresh grocery. Its my favorite grocery place.
Its a smart and final. Has a meat department. Has produce. Has dairy. Sells alcohol.
Youve got to try their fresh squeezed orange juice! Its the BEST!
They need to reconfigure the Exit line - I forgot what a time sink this place was!! The line to leave went all the way to the back of the store! And it was cart-to-cart.
Just shopped at this place and I love it. Good deals and good selection
Excellent shopping visits! Low prices and friendly service.
Extremely friendly employees!
Great prices. Clean store.
Worst experience ever. All the dairy products they sell last no longer than a week. I consumed yougurt which was supposed to last for 15 days from the day I purchased it at the store and I fell sick. Please make sure you sell fresh dairy products.
The person managing the line was very rude condescending and disrespectful.
The best S & F location in San Diego. Big selection and competitive prices compared to Vons in Mira Mesa.
Beats Vons prices. Only bummer is you dont have a wide selection and some items you can only buy in bulk. But, its manageable.
Good location. Reasonable prices. Great selection
Smart and final is my favorite grocery store to shop. They always have what I want.
Small market has most things you need at decent prices.
Favorite grocery, and their own brand First Street products just ROCK !!!
Very nice. Check the prices found a few things a little high. Other wise nice place!!
Now its they only smart and final store in Mira Mesa. I prefer going to this place for grocery shopping.
Staff is efficient & courteous. Not too knowledgeable on their products but the store is laid out coherently
Clean and easy to find my nacho cheese for nacho day at work 2moro.
Great place to find commercial party size items at bulk, wholesale prices. Seriously, the only place a guy can find one gallon jars of pickles.
Closed at 10pm! Fix it!!!
Good variety of products, wish they had a deli with pre made sandwiches.
