We came to Smart & Final Extra for a few specific items. But once you are inside this air-conditioned store, you just want go slow and rethink your wants and needs. I like to start in the fruit and vegetables section. Navel Oranges in 8lb bags is perfect and the Roma tomatoes at .99/LB will be a bagful. Fuji apples and Sourdough bread and what we really came for; vanilla and chocolate chips tubs of Icecream... our shopping cart is getting full and we've gone way more than what we needed. Michelle at checkout was very, very helpful as she ably sorted the goods in our three bags. Lucky I brought a cooler bag for the icecream, cause it is really warm outside. read more

There is a really great $2 off deal on Dreyers and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, but I needed to download the app to redeem the digital coupon. The cashier walked me through it step by step, it was so nice of her! Luckily there wasn't a line. Definitely worthwhile for those extra savings! read more

This is the best Smart & Final I've been to. The place is very clean well organized, and the staff are great. Mark in the Produce department keeps it well stocked, super organized, and he's very friendly. Fernando in the meat department is also friendly and super helpful whenever I need something he's always there to help. Paula is very sweet and Jennifer it's always so friendly at the register. Overall, this is my go to place to shop when I'm in Huntington Beach. read more

I brought my husband here because he's never been to Smart & Final. I hadn't been in years as I was living in a state that does not have Smart & Final and my husband is from that state. Today was "ok." We enjoyed walking around and filled up our basket. We went to the shortest line for checkout. I was trying to pull up my app and email for the coupon, and I KNOW my cashier, Barbara L., saw me doing this and I was talking about it, but rang me up quickly and gave us a total. Without further ado, my husband paid the bill. I was so annoyed by that experience. I remember being a cashier years ago, and not very good with math, and would try and give the change back before the customer finished digging around in their purse to get that one penny to change the outcome of the change I would give them. I felt like she was doing this to me with my 15% off my first purchase coupon. Otherwise, the store is a great store but she was a total turn off at the register. It left me feeling like my enthusiasm was just shot down. I literally deleted another app just to download Smart & Final's app. My husband will be back to Smart & Final, so I leave you with 3 stars. It will be awhile till I want to go back. read more

Went in again today. You need snow clothes on and ear muffs it is so cold. Can you fix your heater?

The ambience is absolutely wonderful. The air-conditioning are amazing. However, they need a little help with their inventory. Lately I've been going in and they haven't had what I've needed, which was better challenge butter with the purple cap. There's a few other things, but it's not the peoples fault that work in the store. It's the buyers that are needing to explain this one. The people there are friendly and if I ever need help out to my car, they're always willing to help. read more

Great employees and efficiently done. Got some veggies to get. Deals are amazing even on specials here and there. read more

Service help by David who works the 8-4 am shift today 12-19-2023 was exceptional. Helped us find what we needed and when he wasn't sure of one item he went and found help from someone. He went above and beyond. He seen we needed help, acknowledged us and helped us. Other employees didn't even know we walked by them. read more

It's a standard Smart & Final. Nothing really terrible or amazing.

Love this store for certain needs, but the customer service here blows! Cashier "Mark" has the personality of a brick, not a hello, nor will he bag your groceries, I guess you have to overlook this portion as the ignorance of the younger set. HOPEFULLY THE STORE MANAGER WILL READ THIS! read more

I love Smart & Final. Great Prices & conveniently near my doctor's office.There are times where it's crazy busy & times when you can simply go in & out in a jiff. read more

After looking around 6 different stores for water and toilet paper...I finally had some luck yesterday here at Smart & Final with water, sadly no luck on toilet paper (goodbye socks lol) I liked that despite so many people were coming in & making a mess of things, this store managed to keep things orderly. Overall a decent shopping experience here. read more

I have stopped shopping at Smart & Final, Huntington Beach SA Adams & Magnolia. Every time I shop there they are out of stock of a few items I need. Thus I need to go to another market. Why go to two markets when I can get all I need at one market??????? read more

It would be nice if half your items had price tags. Some lazy high school bimbo was too lazy to help me and said I should stand in line for 10 minutes to get a price check. Ill start shopping at Walmart, they have better prices. read more

I still like this place going on 8 years but something is going on lately. Refrigeration doors are always soaking wet. Cant see what is behind the door. Constant stock outs like for weeks: Applesauce, Raisin Bran Crunch (just resolved) first street sourdough bread, first street chips. Appears like whole new crew, no familiar faces. Hopefully it will resolve itself. read more

Best bang for your buck is the organic beet! This is the only place to get affordable organic beets because their price is so much more competitive than Whole Foods. Customer service is hit or miss so it's not a deal breaker for us. read more

I had bought salmon from this location. The sell by date on package marked "JUN 22 2020" I cooked the salmon at 425* for 35 minutes on JUNE 20, 2020and it's no good, and they keep telling me they need a receipt for the return. Uhrm who keeps receipts nowadays and I have the packaging but they won't accept it even tho I'm willing to dig through my trash bin to get. Carolyn was no help whatsoever, that's ok tho. Since they didn't want to be kind and help me at all, I already reached out to the Department of Public Health for both the county and the state. read more

Smart & Final Extra! - Bad salmon - Grocery Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

One of my favorite grocery stores. They have a great selection (sauces, dressings, pastas, cookware, drinks, beer, liquor, wine, etc.) and great prices, almost to the level of a warehouse store. There is a selection of organic produce if you buy organic. Also, their frozen food selection is tremendous, flash-frozen fish, chicken and meats, as well as frozen dinners and snacks. The store is observing proper covid social distancing protocols. read more

Very limited on supplies during the coronavirus pandemic. They open early everyday to let seniors shop first.

Went there last Tuesday at 730pm. The place was desolate of employees to assist customers and only one cash register aisle was working. People were lined up from that middle aisle all the way to the cold beer section in NW corner of the store. I was about 4th inline and at one point counted 11 behind me.Alot of people leftthat store that were behind me. Only after the teller at the cash register saw me take some pictures did he callout other tellers to work other aisles. Having over a fifteen people inline is of no matter to him but pictures are. read more

Clean store, friendly employees, no smart and final has perfect produce but you can get what you need. Food is good for the price.

I'm now a regular here. I love it! Especially since the pandemic. I used to shop at Stater Bros but they aren't as conscientious about the mask and distancing. Here, I feel safer. I know with things going on, cost will be driven upwards, but at least safety still seems like a principle of S&F. Also, the staff has always been courteous. What more could I ask for? read more

Bought some salmon and when we cooked it the salmon was rotten. Took it back to the store and the manager Ricardo Zafra wouldn't replace it. We had the wrapper and sticker on it. Probably couldn't replace it because their meat department is almost empty because of the warehouse strike. This company has no customer service. When I filed a complaint with them about this they said their District manager would be calling us. Never did. This place is a joke. They do no rain checks when they sell things they don't have, sell rotten meat and no refunds. Stay far away from this place. read more

We were very impressed with our recent visit to smart and final. We were expecting cleaning supplies and ladders but instead we found a clean and well kept grocery store. Plenty of bulk items including coffee by the pound. They have a wonderful produce section. Their freezer section carries anything and everything you might imagine. And the they have great deals on beer and alcohol. read more

Fantastic seasoned prepacked carne asada! I swear it is so good! Love it! Great daily meat deals and fresh. Love the cold dairy choices with lots of canned sales. It is cleaned and I find the staff to be fast and efficient especially to questions and special requests. Easy parking +clean bathrooms it is better then Vons deals down the street. read more

I was throwing a dinner party and needed to get some stuff and came to this location. The Plaza was kinda old and dated but as you walk in, it was clean and bright. The deals were displayed nicely and clearly. This location had so much produce and a good size "baked goods" section, it's like walking into your local grocery store. The staffs were friendly and knowledgeable. I like going to Smart & Final for a few reasons: 1. They carry items that I sometimes don't find at Costco, the industrial supplies that I like vs. Costco's residential supplies. 2. I love buying their beef brisket slab when I'm making Pho Beef. I've tried so many briskets from local store, Asian markets and they are not as good and fatty as Smart & Final's. You need a bit of the brisket FAT to make the broth really good and I only get it here. 3. They carry the novelty items that I grew up with, like some ice cream brands I had when I was a kid that you can't find in the regular grocery stores. The prices are fairly low for bulk buying so that's super nice. This is now my "far" neighborhood Smart & Final store. Wish they didn't close down so many near me but it's worth the drive for a mean...kinda fatty brisket and ice cream!!!! See you guys soon. read more

Do NOT buy milk here. Even my neighbors say the milk from this store no matter what brand spoils within a couple of days. Some say it sits on the dock in the sun for hours, I'm not sure but I kick myself in the ass each time I decide I need milk and go here. read more

I've never experienced such rude treatment in my life. We just left the HB Smart and Final on Edinger and had an insane interaction with the cashier and box girl. I'll never return to this store again. read more

I usually rate this place 5 stars. Customer service went down and I just practice patience and look the other way. I support local businesses and usually go here to get groceries, cashier suggested I use 2 bags. So I agreed, and then cashier never gave me my 2nd bag with 2 items. I called on phone and they said that yes it was there but never apologized for slow checkout. I go there and get it and cashier doesn't say sorry but instead says "yeah you were in a rush to get out of here". I actually wasn't in a rush. I was riding my bike lmao. They were just too slow with service. It is what it is. Amazon is down the street and closer. read more

unfortunately in this store, there are very rude cashiers who give bad service to the client who haunted your products. The cashier called Mariana is a lady with a bad way to attend the client. Her name is Mariana. Very bad service. Her name is Mariana. Bad bad customer service. read more

... sooo... I don't know what's the deal but this is the second experience of completely rude and unacceptable "service" at a Smart and Final in this area that has convinced me that I will not be patronizing the Smart+Final franchise ever again....At least not in the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley area.. and THATS Smart AND Final!!! In fact I just got off the phone with the supervisor of the hour at this location and all she could say was "oh I'll talk to him about it " but really? that's all you're gonna do? After I told you I will never be coming into your store again ,that's the best you can do? Anyways... The store was not busy there was just two people in line in two separate lines one line had a man with a bunch of stuff the other customer was almost done. so I'm waiting to see which line is going to go faster . this young rude dude checker is there . he sees me waiting and closes. That was the first strike. I let that slide even though that wasn't right either because if you see someone waiting you check them out . get them out of there. why do you still have them waiting ? the store is not crowded no one is in the store so what are you doing ? he even saw me we made eye contact he said sorry and closed anyways. but what happened next I could NOT let slide...So after he "closed" he then went and pretended to help bag for the line that had the guy with all the groceries in it. That was the only line now so I had to wait in it. So then all of a sudden rude dude checker guy decides he's going to re-open that same line he had JUST CLOSED for another man and not me . Was this a racist sexist slight?? perhaps. only he can answer that question. but I totally made eye contact with him he saw I was there acknowledged my presence so there is absolutely no valid excuse in the world why he did that so I left my groceries there and I left. and I will not be returning . Besides, the organic bell peppers didn't look that great anyways. just saying. Oh and best believe I will be contacting corporate. sorry Smart and Final. Two strikes you're out read more

I go to a website when I need Diet Coke called Find and Save. It shows only Coke products on this website. The site showed Coke products three for $9 dollars at Smart and Final plus CRV through February 28th 2017. The store signs are three for $12 and when I showed the manager the site for Smart and Final only, they would not honor less expensive site. I do not make a habit of complaining on social media, but come on Smart and Final, you can afford the three dollars. I do not believe I will come here again even when there is a good sale. read more

I go to Smart and final to save money But if you don't watch the prices at the register you can be OVERCHARGED.!! I especially go there for HAGEN DAZ Ice Cream.

Every time I visit a Smart & Final I curse myself for having a Costco membership. Sure, you may not get samples of soggy pork wontons on every corner at Smart & Final, but you do get the same (or lower) prices without the crowds or membership fee. This location is one of those snazzy new "Extra" stores, which basically means they have a much larger selection of fresh produce and deli stuff. One of the main differences from Costco - they actually have sales here, so you can get say... a 20 pack of Tecate for $12, or steaks for... well, I wouldn't know, but whatever a cheap price on steaks is. I haven't even mentioned their baked goods. I don't think there's a bakery on site, but where ever they get their baked goods from - wow. Sure, they're processed for the most part and insanely bad for you - but they are damn tasty. Did I mention that the line isn't out the door like it as at Costco? Hell, I'd even pay more for the lack of crowds and clusterfuckery, but luckily I don't have to - I can pay less. read more

Great Smart & Final store! I first encountered Smart and Final when I lived in SF. When I briefly lived in Huntington Beach, this was a super convenient store location. They are open early and open late. Really good quality produce. I just wish they offered a greater butchered meats variety - lamb chops not loin chops, cube steaks, NY steaks, cheese blintzes in the frozen foods section, the meatloaf chopped meats mix of veal, pork, and beef. Not their fault, popular with homeless peddlers begging money just outside the store. read more

+ Clean, well-lit, safe. + Friendly employees! Once, I was the next in line, waiting for the cashier to finish up with the guest in front of me when from out of nowhere another employee swoops in and starts taking my stuff off the belt in front of me and ringing it up at the station over! Wow! I thought. How awesome is that service?! When I thanked her for taking care of me quickly and how it was really neat she did that, she replied the other guy really had to go on break. LOL. Okay, then..... Missed that chance to at least make it look like I was getting great service. They still are really nice and polite. They don't rush you at close, I learned one night where time slipped away from me and I didn't know it was 10 PM until lights started dimming. + Neat selection. I like what they offer in bulk. Really good prices, if you shop the deals. Otherwise, still pretty good prices. Dude ... they have 50 lb bags on onions. And smaller bags, of course, too. Lots of coffee options. + NEVER PACKED. I've come at all hours of the day and night, weekends and weekdays. Always virtually empty. read more

I manage vending machine at work for the convenience of everyone who needs a snack now and then. Visited This smart and final many times and always felt frustrated. Whom ever is purchasing stock for this store has little awareness of actual stock requirements. Often i find shelves without product and my most recent visit i need 4 items, 1 item was in stock, All items on my list are standard stock items in this store "Hypothetically" or rather pathetically they are not always in stock. I have 30 minutes for lunch, 5 minutes of which i have to restock the machine and today I came back empty handed. two check stands open and 15 customers waiting. Last time i step into a smart and final. Good bye forever. read more
