This location is well organized and well-stocked! I used to come solely for gas, but now it's always fun to browse for new items :) If I have to dock them on something, it would be their produce. The fruits don't keep as long as some grocery stores. The Costco staff have always been helpful and nice even when there's chaos in the lines. No issues when returning botched items either (like grapes that went bad on day 2). Sure, the parking lot can get crazy during peak hours... but which Costco doesn't? There have always been shopping carts available as well (which you have to sometimes wait for at other locations!). Tips: Turn your items so that the barcode is visible for a speedier checkout! And if you're trying to use your FSA for anything, you'll need to stand in the pharmacy line since you can't use it at standard checkouts. Lastly, the standard checkout lines accept Visa cards only! read more

The year of the horse by: Ciel Bleu. Which was no good. I would never buy that again. Returning it here. Was a bit of a challenge. First guy was unsure, after stirring the bottle in circles and got Ashley which was the same result saying it had to be half (Which it was). She called for someone else to come stir it and peek her eye ball's in the hole. the lady approached with her name badge flipped over and told me it usually have to be half to return which it is. She says it's not. I offer to pour it out fill it up to determine the half. She asked, what was the reason? when did I discover I didn't like it after one or two glasses? (Argumentative much?) It was only one glass. If I liked it I wouldn't be returning it. Then she says she's going to refund me on a shop card. No. You can return it on my card (as how I paid) She repeated she'll place it back on a shop card. No. I paid with my Costco cc, matter of fact I reported it, so I'll accept cash Again she asked for another Visa card. Are you capable of providing cash?? Cash returned in hand. Like what the WHAT???? This kind of behavior from a members only shop place is unacceptable it's definitely space for opportunity here. read more

Costco - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love exploring the nearest Costco whenever I'm in a different town. While their stock is mostly same, they carry different items and it's almost like a treasure hunt for me:) This location has a separate liquor section and there were a lot of items I hadn't seen before like the liquid oasis inflatable lounge, beef loin New York shabu shabu, palm trees, $1.97 something special red pepper spread, 36 count quail eggs, mango rasmalai, cooked octopus, roasted salmon bites, braised abalone, gochujang spam!, shrimp crackers, 9 ounce bags of ginseng root slices for $74.99, jakoya balls, and Asian rice crackers. So much cool stuff! Really wanted to get the shabu shabu and quail eggs but unfortunately there was no way to transport them out of state. Bummer but was fun to find new and interesting items. read more

Self-scan is a lie. Guess too many people forget to scan stuff because they have workers scan your items for you. I went is an observer of course. Food court is dynomite! Hot dog is like a foot long lol. The chocolate chip cookie was so gooey and melty. *costco liquor does not need a membership-woo hoo. Costco membership is much higher than Mr. Walton's value version; I am not sure why. read more

The attitude these ppl have. Had an appt and the literally rudely aak what do you want like we are some Sort of vagrants walking in aimlessly . No sense of customer service at all. And take close to 1.5 hrs to tell the tire needs changed after asking about the status . Then on the phone this guy says he has only premium 200/ 215 and some higher price without explaining anything and all that on phone. What a time waste . read more

Sadly, I have to reduce the review here to a one star. On a recent visit I went in, as usual, I found the items I needed, waited in a long line to checkout only to get to the front and attempt to pay using the linked Citi Costco credit card, to which they were having trouble with all Citi Costco payments. Funny, since Citi is the branded credit card. They tried to force me to use another payment form, which I refused. What is the purpose of the stupid credit card. The bigger issue for me is they refused to do anything about it. Just sorry. There wasn't even an announcent made to guests, there was no awareness for members entering the store of the issue. I went to cancel my membership, but they said I'd lose the rewards and certificates issued so I suppose I'll use those then cancel. Garbage Customer Service!!! read more

It's a Costco. Service and offerings usually much better than other grocery retailers in Houston and other cities, especially for the value. I understand Yelpers have placed this branch at sub-4 stars, but, most reviewers in general tend to post about their worst experiences with a product or service. This specific Costco on Richmond Ave is consistent with their quality product offerings and has a kind pharmacy staff - which I'm happy with, but not enough to compel a Yelp review. However, the other day, I dropped my new wallet (an expensive graduation impulse buy to myself), in the Costco parking lot. And it was returned promptly to Lost & Found by a parking lot attendant. I am extremely grateful for this and have been reminded that there are honest people out there. Gold standard customer service to the gentlemen and all the staff that kept my belongings safe. Thank you, and 5 stars! read more

So I find myself at this Costco on a weekly basis because my gym is also right upstairs. Its a pretty large Costco and can get pretty busy. There've been times when I came by and all the carts were taken so weekend Costco shoppers, be warned. Staff has always been helpful when I needed help. For the most part, you just do your own thing but when I needed help getting a sofa, we had someone help us load it onto the cart and then subsequently load it onto our rental truck. Cashiers are always nice too and the lines go fairly quick. As far as value, its a Costco so overall pretty great value but you will get a lot of anything you buy. Its great for nonperishables and they're usually good at keeping up stock (outside of sudden, unexpected rushes like a looming hurricane). read more

Convenient location. I don't know what to say that hasn't been said. If you know you know. If you don't, where have you been? Good deals on quality food, clothes, houseware and electronics. They have been more aggressively checking memberships even for the food court. I'm not ashamed that I'm of the age that I buy clothes and luggage where I buy my household goods and food. Parking is sometimes a challenge. If at all possible go during the week and try to avoid the weekend crowd. The second floor in the garage is fairly open, in the shade and not that bad even with the slow elevator. The gas lines aren't worth it to me unless it's under 15min. Weekdays usually, not on the weekends. It does stay open 30min after the warehouse closes though. The nitrogen air refilling spots are a lesser known membership benefit. The new chocolate chip cookie is ginormous and delicious. The new strawberry Sunday is a great deal with large chucks of frozen strawberries and your choice of strawberry soft serve or a swirl of vanilla and strawberry soft serve. The mango smoothie and roast beef sand which are a pass for me. read more

This is my first year as a Costco member and it does not disappoint! The membership is worth it as the value of the merchandise is almost unbeatable. Its selection is constantly changing so you can rely on your staples being there but also be surprised by new additions. The workers are friendly and very helpful in making your shopping trip as efficient as possible. Since this location is the only one in the inner loop, it can get quite crowded. Go during the morning if possible to avoid the rush! People push their carts around the store like they drive on 610 - so be a courteous cart driver to help others enjoy their shopping experience :) read more

I love Costco. I get snacks for school here. You can buy stuff in bulk for cheap and afterwards enjoy the food court. The vanilla ice cream is amazing it's soft serve with whole milk, so smooth and absolutely a must try. I crave this throughout the week so much. I have never had such good ice cream. The chicken bake was also okay. read more

What's the point of Costco on Richmond Ave even having a phone number if there's no one there to answer a call? The product isles have no descriptions, only numbers. That makes it more difficult to locate what you're shopping for. Online searches for product availability and prices are worthless with few if any matches. Try searching for car batteries! You can't search by size or type, only for your specific vehicle. Does Costco even sell commercial truck batteries (31C's)? I don't know. But Sam's does, which is where I bought mine. This store is pure hell on weekends. Parking is a nightmare. Customers leave their empty carts all over the parking lot. The checkout lines are so long that frustrated customers just leave their full carts unpurchased. As they pile up, this ultimately blocks the entrance to the pharmacy section. Sam's checkout system is far superior and at lower prices. read more

Review for the rotisserie chicken and the store. It's Costco. There's a reason people pay $60+ per year to be able to shop there. But it's still worth mentioning that they have pretty good rotisserie chicken, for $5, for a whole chicken. It feels like a time warp after all this inflation paying this little for a chicken. It's not the best, but for the price it cannot be beaten. It's also worth mentioning that if you get their executive membership, if you do what everyone else does and spend way too much money there, the 2% reimbursement ends up covering the membership fee and then some. I feel a little ridiculous reviewing Costco. But I've had some terrible experiences at Kroger and wrote about them, so why not. read more

Costco is, to me, a story of compromise. Get a competitive price on some products -- for me, it's gas, appliances, and Waterloo sparking water. Pay the price with a terrible parking lot, mall kiosk-level salespeople in the store, family feuds over buying too much oatmeal, and wild checkout lines. The shining light for me has always been the Costco pizza. Their pepperoni has always been a great friend. When I was a classroom teacher, I had to pinch pennies but every once in a while I could splurge on Jack in the Box 2/$1 tacos or a slice of Costco pepperoni. Nowadays, I don't have to check my bank account before tapping to pay the $2 for a slice of Costco pepperoni. But I do feel like something is missing. During my last few visits, the pizza has been a lot doughier and without the streaks of grease and pepperoni pools of grease that made it so irresistible. Lately, it's just very dull pizza. Maybe it's a cost savings measure to crank up the flour and crank down the cheesy goodness. Please, Costco, grease is the word. Dough is not. Happy to plunge an extra quarter down to put the joy back in my pizza. read more

Costco - Pepperoni Pizza ($1.99) with sprinkled parmesan (no cost) - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

This review is for the Costco on 3836 Richmond Ave., Houston, TX 77027. A few gripes I have about this store: 1.) Parking situation is insane. 2.) Lots of pushy, jerky people shop here. 3.) Filthy restaurant area. Plenty of employees walking around. Apparently, they don't like to clean. 4.) The pizza is disgusting. Get the hotdog (only good thing about Costco). 5.) Sam's has better prices and selection. 6.) Free sample food is disgusting and not fit for human consumption. 7.) Produce area leaves much to be desired. read more

As a lifelong fanboy of Costco / all things Kirkland, I don't think I can give most Costcos anything less than 4 stars. For this location within the loop, it is among the busiest throughout Houston. I certainly don't make it easier for them given how often I'm here (#1) but here are my thoughts in asterisks: * Some of the cheapest gas throughout HTown is at their gasoline station (#2). Their hours of operation is typically from 6AM-9PM, which is both earlier and later than the store hours. * As noted, it's crowded here pretty often. The weekends can be pure chaos, so I'd recommend going mid-week during the afternoon to avoid some serious congestion. * Lots of people makes for harder parking. I would also add that the lot is big, but not typical Costco big. There are lines that bleed from the gas station to the parking lot and the adjacent parking complex doens't make things easier. Just going through the parking aisles looking for spots is a serious chore and the spaces are on the tighter side. * The building is not dedicated solely to Costco, but also features an LA Fitness and a number of other smaller bizes around the corner. * Popular items (deals, things in demand, etc.) are often sold out here. When in doubt, try to see if they'll hold an item at other Costcos. * Membership services is one area that they shine in. They minimize the lines quickly and are good about crediting folks back to achieve their "ultimate customer satisfaction" mantra. ____________ (#1) At the very least, weekly.

I ordered from Costco online and my payment was processed but I never received my order. Upon calling customer service the rude customer service person said that my options were to wait longer for the order or get a refund. When asked why I didn't receive tracking information and updates about the order I was ignored. When asked if this was normal business practice for Costco he said "YES." Take your chances but I won't be doing business with Costco anymore. read more

Gasoline in Houston, Texas... Sometime last week (when I filled up my gas tank), I was wondering why I couldn't check into this gasoline station on my Yelp app. We just happened to drive by; saw this Costco gasoline station; and pulled in without much planning. Today, I was searching for a closer Costco gasoline station and I found one on Google! I was so happy and a bit surprised that no one put it on the Yelp map! That's why I wasn't able to check in last week! Haha! Note: there are only twelve pumps here... Two pumps per line. Ok...so... here it is! read more

Costco gas station has been really clutch. Lots of lanes and even when there are long lanes (which there frequently are), they usually move pretty fast. They also have long cords, so it can reach over to the other side of your car, so you can really get in any lane/shortest lane. I also really like this Costco location. They do a good job of keeping things stocked. The only thing I will say, and it may not even be their fault, is that I wish they were able to get some items faster. I've noticed that other Costcos will get new inventory and then it may take several weeks to show up at this Costco. Nevertheless, I am a frequency Costco shopper. I also really like when they add new cultural items, such as more Asian items around Lunar New Year! read more

This might be the original Houston Costco before they expanded into the suburbs. Located in Richmond in a pretty central area. Won't lie that this area is always a pain to navigate through though.

I love shopping at most Costco and tend to get food and drinks from Costco when I visit but this location has a rude young boy with horrible customer service. Haven't seen this kind of behavior at the bunker hill or Sugarland or Katy location. Food employee/ that specific guy needs some kind of training. He seem like he wasn't nice to his coworkers either and another female staff seem to be very nervous/ gave fearful vibes when he was next to her. Team members should be helpful and supportive of each other. Most importantly young store employees should not have attitudes and rudeness to their older customers. The guy needs major customer service training and to get his attitude in check at work. read more

Yeah yeah, so everyone knows Costco. This is my go to location because it's pretty much the only one IN the city. So if you're in central Houston, this is the location for you. I'm a sucker for their food court, and as I'm leaving, I ALWAYS get the hotdog and drink for $1.50. It's been the same price for decades and I love them for that. Now that I'm a new mom, you can't beat the price for their diapers. My other go to is their name brand bottled water. You can beat their price! Weekends can get bonkers, so go early or close to closing time for less congestion. Everyone has their Costco favorites. What's yours?? read more

great location! love shopping here everyone is very knowledgeable. they are fast and easy.

Another star knocked off. So the tire air station doesn't actually open until the main store opens. Don't be fooled by the fact that the machine is on and you can set the pressure and it makes noise. If you put the nozzle in your tire it will actually deflate it. I went from 32 to 24 on one tire. 31 to 27 on the next. And 32 to 29 on the third. The last one I decided not to touch because I sensed this was futile, so it stayed at 32. Another customer there told me the same thing happened to her and that it deflated her tire. Signage Costco. Need some signage. Oh update on my glasses - went to another Costco and they put on new pads with no problem whatsoever. What is wrong with this Costco! read more

I visited today and I was embarrassed at the counter for checkout. My cashier stated my card had expired....so a Manager checked when it had expired and it was Oct 29th. I could have easily renewed but the way j was embarrassed by the Manager and Cashier I refused.

No need to wonder who the worst Costco employee at Richmond Ave. is: Jordan. Leaning against conveyor belt watching an elderly gentleman struggle to get his 6 items on and off.

Located in a bustling area, this store can be a challenge to park in, even with the dedicated garage. However, once you're inside, you'll find a great selection for a bulk warehouse. Be prepared to resist the temptation to buy random items - there are plenty of enticing traps throughout the store! The primary reason I visit is for the fantastic discounted wine selection. They offer a wide range of excellent wines at bulk prices, making it a great place to stock up. The checkout lines can be long, but they move quickly. Be prepared for potential line-waiting in the aisles if it gets too crowded. Bottom line: This store is a gem for finding bulk discounts and an impressive wine selection. Keep in mind, it might not be the quickest or cheapest trip due to the store's size and potential lines. Pros: Excellent bulk discounts Superb wine selection Good variety of food and household items Cons: Potential for parking difficulties Can be very crowded Long checkout lines read more

I finally did it. I finally purchased a Costco membership, and although my membership photo looks like a proper mug shot, my first trip in was nothing short of magical. I'm not sure if this is true for all Costco locations, but I was surprised to see a Costco liquor store (no membership required), automotive repair, gas station and pharmacy...damn Costco, what don't you have! The keto offerings are abundant, samples are back, churros are churroing, and they even have that ahi tuna thing everyone keeps sampling on the internet. It's likely the newness speaking, but this may be the most satisfying trip to the grocery I've had in a long time. When I need to but in bulk, this is my place of choice! read more
