Not a lot of choices. But on those choices are a lot of good prices. Lots of good deals on many products. Many things are high in prices. Just look for them deals. Good meat price.

Prices are good but lately the quality of the cold items have been poor. The authentic Guacamole was 5 days past the expedition date. The baby carrots in the large veggie tray were all slimy and turning to mush.

Website saying that they close at 10 and employees are not allowing Customers to come in at 9:30?!?! That is just unbelievable.

Great prices and selection. One of the cashiers sent a security guard to follow me when I asked for the bathroom like I was going to steal something, which made me uncomfortable.

This store is making a serious effort to provide a clean, organized environment for an area that doesnt have a ton of grocery options. Staff was very helpful and polite. Need some sort of spacial modification to create line space in the front of the store.

There was trash scattered outside their doors. The place was run down inside. It was crowded on Saturday afternoon. The isles had so much clutter with boxes you couldnt pass by another cart going in opposite direction. They had 1 checker open & the line went all the way to the back of the store. It was at least an hour wait just to check out. The vegetables were wilted looking. The floors were dirty. Homeless people were laying around the property. Not what I would expect of a Smart & Final.

Pros:Theyve got just about anything you need as far as food and food related products. Great for the Preper looking to buy in bulk at a reasonable price.Cons:Since the outbreak of the pandemic, they make everyone form a single file line to check out, calling one person at a time up to the registers. I dont see the logic. You spend twice as much time in close proximity of other shoppers, just standing in that line thats sometimes goes all the way to the back wall of the store.

When I entered the store. Because of the coldness outside. I asked to use bathroom they gave me the proper code to use for the bathroom. Well appreciated. Shortly I purchaded a handfull of sandwich needs. Mushrooms cheeses and spinach oh my. Now my sandwiches are going to be tastey.

Never disappointed tbh. Always clean and organized. Prices are slightly higher than your average grocery store but majority of the things here bulk buys. Cant beat it. Employees are super polite as well.

Review №25

I know a few people who unfortunately work at this location. There are various injustices with management pre-COVID and during COVID. I have shopped at this location before and management doesnt even try to fake their treatment with their employees. They are so transparent with the way they manage its sickening.I really hope there is a lawsuit brought upon this place because the toxicity in atmosphere is unreal. Worst than Walmart to tell you the truth. We as citizens of the public need to stop buying into the idea that employees are separate and unequal to a customer. All customer service employees are human and have lives outside of work. Stop treating them like animals.I really hope you stop shopping at this place. Shopping there will only help support their twisted culture.

My first time in the store was yesterday. I like it, its got a good variety of stuff. Its like the big warehouse store in a smaller easier to shop store, and they dont have membership fees. They may be smaller, but carry the items in bulk that i need. Its easy to compare prices on items because the price tags all have a breakdown price on them, such as a per item or price per ounce, etc.. that is very helpful for a bargain Hunter like me. There prices are very comparable with the big warehouse store but the lines are so much shorter. I went back again today and i will be returning again.

Nice store. Consistently clean and well stocked. I have always been a fan of buying in bulk but when you pay for a membership, how much are you really saving? If you are feeding the neighborhood maybe Costco is worth it. If you have a normal household and dont want to buy 96 rolls of toilet paper at a time (I am sure they will say its a good deal) you should get rid of the club card(unless its free) and head over to Smart and Final. You can get most of the bulk sizes for the things you actually need.

Review №57

Bad customer service the cashier/manager was rude and she made me feel like I was bothering her when I got in her line when I said hi how are you she just looked up at me and stared at me but didnt even acknowledge what I said. When my transaction was done I said thank have a good day she just gave me a dirty look like I was the one being rude. Guess Ill just start shopping more at Costco since the workers there will always be polite and go beyond they way to make sure you visit is a great visit

Review №58

I love the store. The cashiers not so much. Super super super slow and not friendly. Had 2 people in front of me in the 10 items or less express line and stood there for over 15 min. If she moved any slower someone would need to check her pulse. I finally moved to a much longer line and was finished before it would have been my turn.

If you are black...simply do NOT shop here. The store employee walked up to us less than a min of arriving to store and upon seeing that 10lbs of baked beans said that his manager (who never materialized) said she wanted to see what was in a very tiny, childs backpack. Mind you in line, i saw two carts, both with larger backpacks I see were not checked in. For sure it was because we were African American. We were shopping for our 40th Annual family reunion. We immediately left. Your store loss at least $400. And to the poor boy that was sent to tell us to give them the backpack...sorry your manager was to scared to ask herself. I will never shop here.

Waited 15 min for someone to move some pallets around to get us 4 bags of Ice only to have an off the clock employee have the manager Sally go in the back and quickly pull some bags for her. Very unprofessional! Dont ever shop here and just a reminder to stick to my Costco. So annoying!

Review №66

Dirty, dingy looking. Smaller than I expected. Cashier was less than friendly and not interested with any exchange of a thank you or have a great evening at which I recieved no reply and then she flatly turned her back and ignored us. Some really good hit and miss sale items. However, most basic everyday items are just flatly over priced. My first visit & I wasnt impressed.

The Smart & Final Extra! in Merced was one of the go to places for the Good Samaritan Food Pantry in Chowchilla. We bought lots of repackaging supplies here as well as bulk foods like rice and beans. Very friendly, and helpful store employees. Without their help, many people in Chowchilla would have gone hungry.
