Listen it's my favorite Target. Now I've never been inside. But the car pick up is the best. Staff is helpful and quick. They are always friendly. They have a great selection and normally have everything in stock for pick up. And no extra cost for drive up is a solid value. read more

I was NOT happy with today's shopping experience. I wanted to purchase a HP laptop was fairly open as far as specifications go, Was open to spending 250 to 350 dollars, I did want a touch screen. The app had lots to choose from BUT NOT available for in-store pickup Im temporarily without transportation and really could use a replacement for my old laptop that died on me. It would have been so helpful for me to order online and pick it up in store like a cheeseburger. So much for wishful thinking. read more

I've never had an issue here until recently when the cashier threw my items while bagging them . Literally threw my stuff into the bags , I had to double check nothing was damaged . Disappointing . I'm polite and friendly so not sure why we were given this treatment . read more

While shopping at target I walked into the ultra department. There was one woman at the checkout. No one helped me . I got one item walk up to the checkout this clerk was writing on a paper towel not acknowledging me I waited and waited she never looked up. I left and found another clerk I asked her to find the manager so she takes me to the rude clerk at the ultra department. I turned around and left She's so lucky I didn't go Karen on her. How can this person be a manager who treats customers like that. Target you need to hire better people especially if they are managers . read more

Ran in to use the ATM as there was no credit union or 7-Eleven nearby and I suddenly needed cash. I never did make it any further into the store than the ATM at the entrance, but from what I saw it looked like any other Target. It was a $4.00 ATM fee. What?! This is Target, not a strip club! read more

I love going to Target because the store is bright, with fun displays and there are countless people walking the floor to help customers, in addition to price scanners around every corner. The Balboa store has gone through a lot of changes in the past few years. It used to be a dump with clutter everywhere. Not anymore. This store is a gem with the added benefit of a huge parking lot to accommodate even the largest crowds. On this particular visit we were buying a pair of shoes and a video game for my daughter. It took 2 seconds to get help from the associate in the electronics area. He rang up everything for me at his counter and we were done. He was awesome and our visit to the store couldn't have been better. read more

I just want to give a shout out to Julian in the video department of target. He was extremely helpful to me today and let me know of a website that I could go on to get my RCA cables. Great customer service. read more

Love this store very good customers service and clean and customers we here helpful in finding items

really nice, big target, clean, organized, but not enough hotwheels. please restock often.

I'm writing this because they had AT&T employees inside there store to sign up for home internet and other services so we decided to switch to AT&T and got the worst service we already canceled and went back to are other company Target should throw AT&T out of the there stores worst customer service ever F**k AT&T read more

An unbalanced treatment by the department inspectors and a lack of understanding, despite the fact that the mistake was committed by one of their employees, which caused me a financial loss read more

They don't even offer to bag your groceries, I brought my own bag but I told the guy I needed an additional bag and he was so hesitant to even help bag my stuff! craaaazy! read more

We love shopping at Target!! Luckily we are just down the street from this one!! This Target has your everyday household needs plus the full grocery shopping experience. They have everything from kitchen stuff to bedroom/living room decor. Something for everyone. The day we went in was a busy Sunday! I know, bad day to shop! It was a hit and miss on finding things. They were either wiped out on certain items or just have been out for a while. Overall, still great shopping. Shared parking lot with other businesses, but ample parking. The store was clean and the registers were moving along quickly. The employees were cordial and helpful. read more

Abbigail the customer service specialist helped me with a very difficult return. She spent over two hours helping me with an Xbox return. The final outcome was very positive. She is an excellent five star employee. Thank you Abbie. read more

I go here for most of my shopping. Can I say the management here isn't good I bought a Pokémon go 10 .00 gift card from them went home and scratched it out to redeem when I had tried to redeem. The card had said it is empty. I went back to get a refund. They didn't won't to get back my money. They told me to contact the gift card. It says particular and back of the gift card if use or stolen cannot be replaced which also they told me to call the number on back there is no number end of the day they threw me a $10 target gift card. They couldn't even give me another Pokémon gift card. I can say sometimes I have mixed feelings about this location. Sometimes I think the card packs are tampered with and the gift cards are also tempered with I be careful buying gift cards in this store because a long time ago during Christmas someone did a scam with all the gift cards I am a red card owner of the store and this is how you treat me. I feel upset both of the managers didn't want to help me at all. read more

Glad we stopped here the other day. It had been five years since we last shopped at this Target when I was working on Balboa. The store now is bright and airy -- it has always been very big. Shelves are well stocked, and associates are outgoing and helpful. Self-checkout was a breeze. read more

Hey Target! Love ya, think you're great and all but just one teeny little complaint for this location... y'all are always stocking your shelves every Saturday when it's the busiest day to shop and it's hard to navigate items when your employees have their carts everywhere and they are upset because we are in the way and we are upset because they are in the way. Can you guys stock stuff on like a Tuesday morning? Also, can you not leave BLOOD drops all over your products? Went to get baby formula and there was blood on some of the formula tins. I let an employee know and they didn't care read more

Great location and nice layout! The aisles are large and well labeled. It is fairly easy to navigate. This Target has everything you could need - home decor back to school items, toys, pharmacy, groceries, and more. I also like that you can order online and have your items ready for pickup within a few hours (wait for them to email you that your order is ready though!). My most recent trip. I noticed that one of their fitting rooms was closed, I had to wait ~10 minutes to try my items on. Their clothing sections were particularly messy and unorganized. That section of the store was not particularly enjoyable to shop through. I appreciate that right when you enter they have an area of season and on-sale items that you can easily look through. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. read more

This was hands-down the most unprofessional and frustrating experience I've had at any retail store. The employees were rude, dismissive, and clearly had no clue what they were doing. It's like no one had been trained or even cared to help. The management was completely absent or just as useless--nobody knew what was going on, and nobody made any effort to fix it. The entire store felt chaotic and mismanaged. If this is the standard you're setting, it's pathetic. Do better. 0 stars if I could. read more

Seriously. 3 lanes open in a Sunday at 5 pm so went to self-checkout lane where I was told by the peso. Working g that section, limit for items was 10. Headed back to one of 3 lanes where we waited 15 minutes to get thru it. After 10 minutes went back to person working self-checkout to see if she call more people. She replied in a very irritated/angry voice that whoever was working the lanes were it. Nice experience . read more

I have the target circle and I have a coupon that expires this month so I decided to go to target to get some needed supplies and use my coupon. I got probably about $120 worth of items- the cashier Robin (has brown hair and a thick septum ring) absolutely refused to let me use my coupon. I showed it to her and showed her that I have it, and it's still valid and she kept saying "you have to download the app so I can scan it..." I cannot download the app because I don't have space in my phone. It literally says right there CAN USE IN STORE. She absolutely refused to apply the coupon so I had to put back like 70% of my items. Like what terrible service. The last time I went to target they leg me use my coupon without downloading the app so idk what this person was talking about. read more

This store seemed like any other location except it was a ton bigger than most I've been to including the super one near our home. We didn't really come in for anything specific, just had 30 minutes to kill while waiting for a cake order next door. Our three year old could have spent hours in the toy section, luckily we were able to usher him out in 45 minutes. Surprised how nothing seemed to be on sale or on clearance a couple days after Christmas. They were all out of the one specific hair dye I use, I guess everyone is dying their hair black nowadays. We were able to quickly get out and beat the lines by going to self checkout, I didn't see Starbucks inside, but maybe because I just wasn't looking for it. read more

This store is gross inside and out. Get a pressure washer to clean this up. Looks like it hasn't been clean in at least a few years. I recommend my pressure washer I use for my store front: https://www.commercialcleaningsd.com/ Worth the money even quarterly. read more

This is a very solid Target location. As with the brand as a whole, the stores are bright, modern, and clean. This store in Balboa is no exception, especially after their recent renovation. Parking is abundant. There's plenty of self checkout machines so the waits are never too long. And the store layout is familiar. Pricing is fair, especially with the frequent sales, and they've got everything you need from grocery and household goods through clothing and electronics. At the time of this review, they've still got plenty of bottled water and canned goods if you are looking to stock up... I also noticed the Target Drive Up Service where you can shop within the app, set your arrival time, then have the goods brought out to your car. Keep up the great work Target! read more

.....I mean, what can I really say? It's a Target, lol. Okay okay. This is my go-to Target as it's the closest one to me. Compared to the other Targets in the area, it seems like this one is a very popular one; sometimes I have to go to the next nearest Target as some of the stuff that I want is sold out in this location. Don't recommend going to this Target on Mondays, as on those days the place looks ransacked due to the wrath of the weekend shoppers (the dairy and refrigerated breakfast-food aisles especially get ravaged). Lot is huge and although on weekends it can be a war zone, you'll always find parking (you might just have to walk a bit). read more

Target is target. It is what it is, however, Target needs more REAL people checkers and LESS self check out machines. Anyone who uses checkout machines is silly (nicest word I could use) with how high prices are everywhere. The fact that they ONLY have 2-3 REAL checkers as I'm typing this is bogus. At least Costco has more REAL checkers than self checkout machines. One of the many reasons I go there first for just about everything. read more

5 stars for the customer service at the return and exchange section. KAT was so patient with my return (I did not have the receipt and had paid in cash so she had to find my receipt). Thank you so much KAT! read more

Horrible. Had trouble getting my closer store to pick up phone regarding a detail on a pick up of a large item. Called this store to ask if they could notify the other store that they need to pick up the phone. Not only did they refuse but argued and kept interrupting me and hung up on me. read more

Survival horror bathrooms. Every time. The rest of the store is clean and items aren't missing from packaging like at the mission valley location so that's good. Just, please, the bathrooms. They're awful. read more

I always go to this target, but the solicitors are out of control. There is a big sign in the window that says no soliciting, but they still do it. I even go through the side entrance to avoid these people. But Today I had this one guy that was a big time jerk and literally put his hands up to stop me so I can sign his petition to fix potholes. He's like hey red shirt and he stood in front of the entrance, so I couldn't even get by. Next thing I know, I'm signing four pieces of paper, and putting all my information on this petition. The guy was not nice and very forceful. read more

0 Stars for Curbside pickup. One would think an employee wouldn't be so stupid and lack common sense to check packing and organization that: A quart of cream was placed on top of a pack of dinner rolls, smashing them. These were the only two items in that bag. The package of dinner rolls was completely open on one of the sides - impossible to miss. Total failure and too bad, being my first (and now last) time using pickup. Total joke. Will be either requesting a full refund or disputing the charge. read more

Very very clean and this target is so big. There is so much room between the aisles it just feels so clean and open I love it. They do have a Starbucks inside like most targets do now, karma and they have everything that typical targets have with a hwith a huge parking lot! read more

Convenience at its finest! I recently threw in the towel with Walmart altogether and decided to give Target a full time shot. Plus prices and some things are much better than Walmart. For starters, I advice downloading the app because it makes things much easier. I placed a few orders for Curbside pick up and by enabling my location, I was able to notify the app when I was on my way and once I arrived, the app notified the staff I arrived. Depending on your phone and location it may need tweaking. Because well...it's technology. I'm surprised it worked and I didn't have to click "I'm Here". Within the minute someone was heading out with my order and I was on my way. One item wasn't available so I chose the shipping option and wasn't charged for shipping and the item arrive in about 2 days well packaged with care. read more

I love this target it has everything and a Starbucks to enjoy while shopping.. need I say more..

This location is out of the way for me but if I am in the area I am happy to come here to do my shopping. This location is large and has everything you need and more! The grocery section is fairly large and has a good variety. I can always find what I need. The clothing is a pretty big area as well and there are so many options for anything you may want or need. This is part of a large plaza so parking is easy. The last time I came I was using a coupon and I needed help finding the item I was looking for and the staff member helping me was super friendly and didn't just tell me where but took me to it and that always makes me happy. Overall, a great target location. read more

"Woooahhh!" --My reaction to nearly every section I browsed through. Why, you may ask? Well because this target has more than any other target I've seen. Things I don't usually see at other targets, I find here. The store is bigger, so every section is bigger, which means clearances AND new items are abundant. I even walked through an entire department of what looked like just clearances! PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Having developed collectible/toy hunting as a recent hobby, I was very particular to the toy section which made me feel like I was browsing through a toy store and not a target. The section was so big!!! I can only imagine this target's madness during the holidays. If you're a lego person, this has the biggest collection I've seen. They're even adding on to the store although I'm not sure what it will be. A short visit but it was enough to wanna give this place a review. It's an awesome target. Located in a central spot of Clairemont. I can tell a lot of people go here. The parking lot was packed on a Thursday afternoon. Wish I could say I lived closer but s/o to the best target I've ever been in! read more

After Robin rang up my items she saw I had cash in hand so asked me to press exit on the keypad so I asked her if I could still put my phone number in for points, she tells me with an attitude well now I have to ring everything up again and I said ok, so my total came out to more than the $50 I had left on the counter so she says with an attitude once again "cash and card " and my response back was with an attitude" yeah did you expect me to pay for $66 worth of shit with $50? "After giving her a taste of her own attitude she couldn't handle it and ran off saying she's going to get her manager and I was left standing there for about 5 mins and in between that the most wonderful associate named Matthew stops and asked me if I've been helped and I explained to him the situation and he apologized to me and proceeded to help me when the manager walked up with 2 security guards!! She asked me to explain what happened I told her and she apologized and then called security off and I asked her if they were going to arrest me LOL! She said well we were told some curse words were exchanged and I laughed because who knew the word Shit could send someone spiraling! I Called corporate and had it escalated internally. This isn't the first bad review that mentions Robin negatively . Target you can do better, train your team in better customer service. It only takes one bad experience. read more

Crappy customer service, I've been doing mobile order pick ups from this target location since it started, and as of recently, the customer service is very poor, employees never smile look miserable and are simply just unfriendly. My wife does the order and puts me as the pick up person. I've always presented my drivers license. Last week when I came as usual, the employee made me feel like I was a burden and a bother because she had to type in the first two letters of my last name shaking her head negatively and telling me next time to present a barcode. I didn't argue and actually apologized to her even though I shouldn't have to. this was the first time having such a negative experience until today which happens to be the second time in a row this time I had the barcode. I stood at the pick up counter and watch the same employee come walking towards me making eye contact again with no smile looking very unhappy as she walked right past me without saying anything. I stood there waiting another three minutes or so until two more employees came walking up again not smiling, looking very unfriendly at least this time one of them asked if I had been help which I responded, no not yet and presented my barcode. She scanned it and walked away with no response then returned with my items again no smile, when I thanked her she had no response and simply turned around and walked away. Wow I thought to myself these employees must seriously hate their job or something? Just kind of a bad feeling when I'm spending money at a store and feel like I'm a nuisance by the employees working. read more
