Newly remodeled and beautiful inside now. Much larger selection of products and produce and bulk Goods. I sent a couple of pictures to a friend and said guess where this is and they couldn't believe it when I said it was Smart & Final. Great prices and sell things that the grocery stores do but also the big boxes like Costco's but in more realistic sizes. Will probably start shopping here more than I used to due to the better selection.

Waited while only 2 cashier were ringing long lines. Couldn’t hold my basket any longer. Had to give up and leave without making a purchase. Sad excuse for a store.

Buyer beware: the meat department up-labels cuts of meat, up prices it 300%, then, labels a "50% mark-down". My boyfriend ended up paying $3.99 per pound for pork butt cuts marked as ribs.

Beautifully remodeled and rearranged a couple of years ago, into just another grocery store. We've shopped at Smart & Final for "restaurant size" food and big party supplies, for at least 10 years. It was my preference over Costco because Smart & Final had "warehouse-size" products in a smaller size store and very good prices. They don't carry the selection of "large-quantity" packages they used to. I used to shop for a flat-cart full of items, now I go to Smart & Final for about 3 items - frozen avocado pulp, individually packaged cookies and crackers, and plastic cups. The store is bright and attractive now, but I didn't mind the "warehouse look" when I could everything I needed in bulk sizes.

Narrow aisles full of displays, big carts, so be careful. I had to wait a lot to be able to proceed down certain aisles...but I suppose that could be positive because there is lots of stuff? Good prices on volume items, less so on regular, grocery sized items.

**Great store with THE NICEST STAFF**I have been shopping at this store for about a year. They had a remodel during this time and the staff were SO nice and helpful as they had to rearrange the store so many times. Their selection is hands down the best in the area. Produce is fresh and fairly priced. I enjoy shopping here and will continue to give them my business regularly. Again the staff are SO nice!

I changed my mind. Because I returned to the store and had better experience with another Manager ,he was very polite and helpful. He seemed that knows how to running the store well! And I saw more stuff to buy since last time! That's good!

Love this place for lower grocery prices! The store has gotten better and better. Lots of hard defined and gourmet items now too. As well as just great prices on everyday grocery items and food. Good produce section. This is becoming one of my go-to places for grocery shopping

Love the remodel. They now offer organic fruit at a reasonable price. I'm loving the new bins and coffee selections. Their shelves seem to always be stocked. This is my favorite place to go other than Costco.

Helpful staff, clean organized, great selection of organic produce as well as pretty much every basic food item you could need. Sad to see they don't sell popcorn machines, pretzel machines, etc.like they used to 11+ years ago. One of my favorite stores to shop when I get the time.

This place has come through in the clutch. If you ever need to buy anything in bulk but are not really into Costco, smart and final has got you covered. The quality of Costco goods is superior but as far as bang for the buck goes, and not paying for a membership, it’s pretty good.

I always stop here in my visits to town. We don't have any in Tucson. Usually pick up a 3 lb chub of Gallo hard salami to take home.

Horrible experience, could not find decent rice pudding and they are extremely unjustifiable overpriced in every way.Reply: Does that mean you will price match?

The beef short ribs were on sale, so made the trip over. The line was lonnnnng for check-out. But, I heard the call over the PA for 'cashiers' up front. The line moved swiftly soon after. Great customer awareness and quality products.

This is literally one of the worst grocery stores I've ever been to. I went in there after I had surgery on my knee I needed use the electric cart. None of them were charged. The assistant manager did not care that I just had surgery on my leg. The level of rudeness as well as apathy toward a customer woz truly disturbing. If I could have given it no stars I would have.

Great place to shop, but there is a particular employee that was incredibly rude to me. Her name is Jessica. The only words she spoke to me were my total. No hello, no have a nice day, no smile. There were literally no customers before or after me and I only had two items. I hope she finds a job where she isn’t so miserable.

I enjoy shopping at this store. They offer a wide array of items; kitchen necessities, hard to find items, and commercial grade products. It's the only place I can find such the green tea I drink daily.

It's a good grocery store some things are little bit pricier but otherwise they have a little bit of everything especially if you have a restaurant they have it in larger quantities but I think the store could use a major renovation and I understand why they don't do that they probably need much more traffic before they could consider that and I agree otherwise give them a try

I was looking for a rotisserie chicken to take home for dinner. Ralph's and Vons have steadily failed in that department, especially Vons, sometimes they don't even have one, I think zombies took the chain over. I have to say, this rotisserie chicken at Smart and Final is more tender than KFC and El Pollo Loco who actually specialize in chicken and it tasted really good for about 8 bucks. So happy 😊 to find this.

Colourful patches of fresh veggies and fruits are what attracts the eye when you enter; A feast of the senses.Most of the products are available. The staff is nice and very helpful.

Under construction currently, so it looks like they're expanding. Great for things the grocery store doesn't usually have like Torani syrup and a large variety of precooked frozen foods for catering. They even have fresh produce and alcohol.

Stopped in after work and purchased three items. Went to the "10 items or less" register only to find a customer in front with in excess of twenty items. (Not the first time at this store.) When I asked the cashier why this is allowed, she stated her manager told her to take anybody to speed up the other lines. Excuse me! Then I should wait in the longer line? The cashier should have the ????? to tell that customer that this is an "Express Lane". Is the cashier not trained or is the manager not manageing the store?

They have very good prices and products on sale, but today a somewhat racist lazy cashier has made me decide never to return here againI have seen her go out of her way for caucasian customers many times when i have visited the store but never lift a finger to help me for any of my questions,she has also been rude to family members who visit the store as well, her answer is always "we are out". Or she'll ignore the ad prices and try to over charge me, Or worse she'll completely ignore you when you ask questions about the ad or if they have any more in stock,Only gonna be going to Costco and other places from now on.

Very well stocked shelves, super friendly associates and the cashier was delightful. The store was clean, bright, and not busy at all. ♡

This is a great place to get large economical sizes of things like spices, canned vegetables, sauces, etc. You dont have to buy a membership like the other place. Also good if you are having a party & need larger quantities of your normal foods. Sometimes the prouce is cheap, but sometimes it is pretty expensive. Be aware of other supermarkets specials, to get the beat deals.

I love this place. I hate having to buy a bunch of small boxes of one product and they sell in serious bulk here but I wish they sold more brands. They don't have everything I need.

Good prices, parking is a little crowded, but it's not too hard to find a spot. They have an excellent selection of produce and some of the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had!
