Smart & Final

Came here to get party supplies. On the way out a case of glass pelligrino slipped off the bottom of the shopping cart and shattered. When I came back to deal with it, an employee had already cleaned it up and offered me a new case. Thanks Smart & Final!

Awful. Tried to buy soda for a party. Only had Diet Coke lime, vanilla or cherry Coke. No coca cola classic or plain Diet Coke. WTF? Prices on par with Ralph’s if not more expensive. For being in Torrance the store leaves a lot to be desired. Shopping carts are old and sloppy with inoperable wheels. Doesn’t help that pallets of product were in the aisles sitting. Don’t waste your time.

It’s weird how big stores can advertise something and charge you something completely different hoping you will never notice it.
After a long conversation with who they introduced as the store manager –him trying to convince me I saved a lot and me pointing out it’s FALSE ADVERTISING– I was able to get the over charged amount back.
Be careful shoppers, don’t rely on their honesty anymore. It takes 2 minutes to double check you were charged the right amount, don’t let them get away with it.

Wow, certainly not what I expected. Had visions of dented cans, poor quality produce and meats… I was very wrong. The produce and meat selection was fantastic. A huge fan of meat from Costco above any other store and I think Smart & Final was better on price, selection and quality. This store was a tad crowded and the check out lines were long. We will definitely be coming back especially for the selection of meats.

Great customer service! We were looking for Caesar salad bowls and Enrique went out of his way to check the back and found one for us ! Very happy customers !!

I come here very rarely but when I do I come here. I was disappointed today cause they did not have what I wanted and when there was an item that was new and I wanted to try it but was disappointed again when at the checkout stand the item would not scan and no manager was around at the time to remedy this issue of not scanning.
I did not want to wait and make the other customers wait along with me even when the just open the second checkout stand.
Anyway they and the manufacturer of the product loss.

Usually the customer service from this Smart and Final is decent, not far from being considered excellent, up until my last visit. I had asked the associate that had been wondering around the aisles if they still sold Mrs. May’s Naturals snacks. She said she’d check and get right back to me. Well, after a few minutes of waiting in the aisle for her to return, I eventually found her aimlessly walking around the front of the store.

Why put yourself through misery when you go to check out? There’s no sense of urgency here.

some months ago I might have written a better review. They have a lot and at better prices than many, but, the food is sometimes old. Check the quality of items like vegetables, bagged Parmesan cheese and garlic. I used to like the frozen food but the quality is no longer the same, a recent bag of «Broccoli Cuts» (instead of their usual «Broccoli» was more stem than top, a lot more than pictured, and turned out to be a year old, a complaint to the store about the extremely poor quality (stems like balsa wood) caused me to look at the date stamp (do you look at the dates on everything you purchase? apparently we should), it was dated 3 – 13 –12… yikes… last March…
My other complaints would be music louder than a store needs, and the guys stocking blocking aisles and wheeling around too often without regard for shoppers,
(the product needs to be accessible to sell it), too often very long lines.
Still part of my regular shopping route, but with more attention and less enthusiastic support…
The parking lot is accessible and not so steep carts roll while loading, the corner easily reached from both directions. Nice long hours to avoid the crowds. And no freaking store card… I hate the pound of store cards I am expected to carry and keep track of to get the discount… how nice to deal with a store that so values my business that they will offer me the reduced prices because I chose to walk into their door rather than make me go online to do my shopping twice…

The lines can get super long, but this place has everything! They have good customer service and everything is very organized!

Whenever dude and i go shopping, he always manages to slip something grapey into the cart. This time with was grape flavored VINES.
I like that u don’t need a membership and i can peruse around and find those huge can of beans etc that i will never buy. Prices are really not all that much cheaper except for some things, but they have a couple of items u can’t find at other places like those addicting fruit taffy candies.

I’ve passed by this place for years. I always thought it was one of those places where you had to be a member. Sort of like SAMS or Costco. But I found out, you don’t have to be. It looks like that’s how it used to be, but now they just give you the discount prices. There are some really good buys here and the quality of the products is very good. They carry a little bit of everything. There are Fruits up front. A frozen sections, meats, dry goods, canned. Most of the items are bulk, but not all. Give it a try if you haven’t been here.
