As prices continue to rise for various reasons price watching is a must and there are deals weakly here you should be paying attention to. We do our rounds weekly and have found that any given week Smart & Final is a must and this new location is right in our area and we are taking advantage of it!

Employees are great, be cautious of expired items. Ive seen things on shelf literally close to 2 years past expiration date. I wouldnt buy meet here at this location. I bought 2 slabs of vacuum sealed ribs, put in my freezer for a couple weeks, thawed one out, not the kindest smell, thawed the next one the next day, same. Just be cautious. Would it kill them to sell yellow bananas instead of brown

Rudest employees ever! There were at least 10 of us in line at the single open cash lane, so the cashier called for another lane to open. When the man (Frank) came to open the lane he opened it at the opposite end of the store and did not invite the next person in line, but rather waited for the fastest person to go running over there!

One of our favorite stores, it is large so never crowded. Great prices and a very good selections form the basics to bulk purchases too. Lots of custom coffees and nuts etc by the pound. A large fruit and vegetable area, and good fresh parties and bagels in the bakery. The service is always excellent too!

This was my first time in this store. Good prices on snack boxes. Not glamorous, kind of dirty and harsh florescent lights. Maybe some items have Smart prices, but I have no idea what is Final or Extra.

Generally a lot of expired items so watch out!!! Watch for bad produce as well. While some of the employees are great others are rude and incredibly disrespectful.

Wide selection of goods and variety of items that you can not find in normal grocery stores or supermarkets. Cuts of meat and portions and quantities that arent available at supermarkets as well. Very friendly and helpful staff. They do restock things rather quickly but only have a limited number of items on shelf for certain items. Doesnt feel like warehouse shopping more like a grocery store.

I was very surprised when I went to Smart & Final Palm Desert. Its a great store with an amazing array of products. I used to shop at the old Smart & Final Iris years ago when it was just a small restaurant supply store. The new Smart & Final is enormous. Everything is fresh, prices are very competitive. Now, I can get everything I need under one roof. Thanks Smart & Final!!!

Would just like to say I love this store I come here from the high desert to buy my supplys at least Once a week or so and Dennis is amazing. He makes sure he Has my stuff in. My truck could not hold the amount of drinks I ordered and Dennis offered to help me out by Delivering them to me. He is a amazing guy. He goes the extra mile for his customers. we have been his customers sense he was in the palm spring store. when he left that store we followed him he takes care of the customers. the palm spring store never had my stuff there shelves were always empty so we went to palm desert where he was. this guy is great. thank you Dennis for going the extra mile for us.

Review №34

Ok, I have been to this store several times and every time there is something on the shelves that are expired. Bread, milk, sour cream for some examples. Well, i went to management and spoke with Dennis about my concerns. He stated that it is because the new employees dont know what to look for and he would be taken a lot of his time if he checked everything on the shelves.Also, there was a rib roast on sale, the meat girl had no idea what she was looking for when were asked for help finding it. She could not find it, I looked and low and behold I found it. So, I purchased it, great price. Brought it home and opened the package, AND A HORRIBLE ROTTEN SMELL CAME FROM THIS MEAT I JUST BOUGHT.I will not be shopping here anymore.AND I WANT TO EMPHASIS HOW MUCH TO YOU ALL TO CHECK EXPIRATION DATES. YOU MAY BE BUYING EXPIRED ROTTEN FOOD!!!!

S&F is a good choice to purchase a variety of foodstuffs and paper products in bulk. I buy my wastebasket trash bags here as its a terrific deal...better than Walmart! I shop the circle: Albertsons, Trader Joes, S&F, Aldis and Walmarket.This is my go-to market for a variety of things that Id pay much more for elsewhere. I indulge in an occasional Velveeta grilled cheese sandwich and the big V is priced lowest here. I purchase my Port Salut at TJs 😉 Also, during the holiday season S&F stocks great items for tamale making, including the large shiny silver stock pots. Also, the staff have consistently been helpful and Ive yet to shop in crowded aisles.
