The HEB is a "rockstar" Texas grocery store…read more This one in Columbus is a compact "baby" HEB footprint (as opposed to a Super HEB footprint) while nonetheless packing a big punch in terms of variety. The fresh produce department has marvelous Texas grown Black Diamond watermelons and Ruby Red grapefruit as well as a great meat department. Wish HEB was in FL.

I even gave them my private security license and my debit card with my name.... Clearly there's plenty of ways to check someone identification and age... that's a government issued ID, they said it wasn't in their policy. They even brought out the manager. There was not chargers or an electronic things, it was truly just a tiny hole in the wall heb.

We have stopped at this Walmart a few times in the last six months or so, usually in need of a Coke, Sour Patch Kids, and/or a 5-Hour Energy Drink as we drive from Houston to Austin when we can't quite make it to Ellinger. This is one of the smallest Walmarts I have ever been to, and I've been to some small-town, teeny tiny Walmarts. However, none of the Walmarts I have been to have employees who are as friendly and helpful as this one. Every employee I have encountered is eager to help, and they do it with a smile. They have a plethora of movie theatre candies, sodas, and iced coffees. Though I'm not a fan of Walmart in general, this is indeed a great place to make a pitstop for a bathroom break and some snacks.

Not to mention a fine variety of everything else, from cleaning supplies, to local meats, to spices, to, what's this, apricot paste? Fantastic. I was so delighted to find out about this place, and sorry it took so long to discover it. That said, in the midst of this pandemic, after months of sitting outside the chaos of the Bastrop HEB for its mediocre curbside offerings, this experience was like a vacation! We picked up lots of produce, but also tried the prepared meals. My husband had the Korean pulled pork with kimchi, which was fantastic, and I had the ravioli with pesto, pine nuts, and fresh local tomatoes. I'm not the biggest fan of pasta in general, but this was so very good. I can't wait for another, before tomato season is through. Thank you, Royal Tomato! The weight of this year's day to day got a little lighter.

Two stars for the ability to park AND get a cart in under an hour. Bastrop HEB really has set the bar low on those requirements. I guess we're back to driving 3 hours round trip for grocery shopping in Georgetown... where they have competition, multiple stores, and I've never been told, "Sorry. We're cleaning the machine. After being open for FOUR hours? Either you need to have two machines in rotation or... do this before/after the deli opens. Shocker to get prepared for the day BEFORE the day starts.

They have a wonderful selection. And they are the only place I know that correctly calls "sausage kolaches" as their real name--Klobásník--or Klobásníky (plural.) but don't expect those to still be there. On a weekday, they might still have these Czech treats until 3 pm, but on the weekends, they go fast! Always friendly staff and i just love looking through their home decor. They have the cutest little tchotchkes that are locally crafted and so wonderful for home, garden, or lawn. I have bought many a christmas and birthday gift on the way. Great metal art as well! The bathrooms are always clean and smell fine. I highly recommend stopping at least one time to see everything they have to offer. It's a true, "small Texas town" stop! Oh, and set the GPS! It's one of those "blink and you'll miss it" towns. One light and then it's gone.

This is a medium size HEB, has everything from fresh veggies & fruits, to coldbeer, prepared foods, housewares, pharmacy, ice, & numerous other items. HEB "store brands" are mostly excellent. One doesn't need to compare prices in any HEB, just get what is needed and go. As the store hours are very extended, this HEB has become a community "gathering place", where friends meet, exchange news & greetings, and get local "news"; while shopping. On caveat: The employees frequently pilfer small amounts of ice from the ice bags in the freezers. The missing amounts are not significant, but the tiny holes they tear in the bags to get the ice can grow, and cause a real mess if not noticed. I live in New Orleans, some 360 miles away, but shop here some 15 or 20 times/year. I wish New Orleans had its own HEB! Great store! Rick
