WTF...WHAT THE FUN!!! What grocery store's run out of ice. Well, I'll tell you. Two major…read moregrocery store chains and a retailer grocery in downtown Austin had no ice. How is this even possible? Could it be because we were in downtown Austin? One of my friends speculated that it was because they had a University of Texas game yesterday and they needed ice for tailgate parties. Really!? Seriously?' There is no empirical evidence supporting this assertion. If that was case, why could they not know the schedule. Well, I ended up buying ice at a higher price from a gasoline station...don't remember the name. Am I raging about the difficulty of finding ice? Nope! In retrospect, it is rather humorous that so many places were out of ice simultaneously. If all of the ice went to fun pursuits, I'm good with the icecapades (case of the missing ice). Lesson learned: Buy ice in my neighborhood before heading downtown Austin.

Even if it's crazy busy on a Sunday afternoon you can still get to the items you need with ease. The store is still very clean and of course modern since the rebuild. Employees are friendly. The shelves are stocked fully 99.999% of the time. I live extremely close to the East 7th Street store (5 min away) and opt for this location time and time again.

Contrary to another review, they usually have fresh fruit on hand; bananas in a basket and prepared fruit cups. They have a fair selection of beer, wine, soft drinks and coffees. They have sandwiches and other prepared food (e.g. giant $4 burritos) in the cooler. One time I had to ask for toilet paper and the guy brought it out from the back room. I suppose it took up too much space on the shelf. This is the alternative to Royal Blue, which has even higher prices, although Royal Blue makes some food in-house. On the whole, I prefer Second Street because Royal Blue has a weird vibe and some weird brands and this place is a regular store.

Honestly unremarkable. An independent convenience store that knows it can charge more because of where it is. The staff were friendly enough, but the stock was kind of limited. That might be due to so many people being in town that week but they seemed to run out of drinks fairly quickly. It's also no fault of the store but it's worth mentioning right in front of their doors seems to be a popular hangout for Austin's homeless. I don't think we managed a single visit here without being asked for change. If you need a quick snack they are in a great location, just don't expect an overly pleasant visit.

I picked up the ranchero bisteak and chicken Tinga and for my two sides, I decided on the plantains and nopales.

Today I , once again missed the Pharmacy and hence now a medication I had transferred from the wonderful Pharmacy at Hancock to the lame unpredictable pharmacy at Burnet store #9,I have been left in the cold . Literally! I rode my bike up there in 25 degrees only to find that on a Saturday your pharmacy closed before 8PM, then Sunday forget it too crowded to get in line then closed at 6?! So tonight I check the posted hours that are even on this website right now, and guess what it says the Pharmacy is open until 9PM so I waited til 8 to call for my Levothroxin Thyroid pills, and what do I hear" Pharmacy closes at 8PM" So just when IS this Pharmacy actually open? Now I have to go send my wife to get my prescription in the morning - by the way she works graveyard so that's in the middle of her sleep cycle before I can function all because HEB can't seem to figure out how to run this poor lame store so folks living around it can actually shop there! This is HEB is continually crowded closes way too early, The Pharmacy closes at 8PM!! The store closes at 1AM , but the stockers are in your way all day long! The people are fine but the store itself is like an abandoned child it seems HEB forgot to bring into the twenty first century, everything is in bazaar places, it took me and the manager a week to find incense! I can say I have been more upset and frustrated because I happen to live near this "Store" Apparently, even with all the new Apartments and condos, they think only old folks and people that live in 1950s shop there! If you can avoid this store AT ALL COSTS. ( Here is a copy of the Hours from HEBs' own Website :Austin 9 H-E-B Print Print 5808 Burnet Rd Austin, TX78756 Get directions to this store Store Hours & Phone Numbers Main (512) 453-8864 Pharmacy (512) 454-6691 Store Hours Daily 6:00 AM - 12:00 AM Pharmacy Hours Monday - Friday 9:00 AM-9:00 PM Saturday 9:00 AM-6:00 PM Sunday 10:00 AM-5:00 PM ) Sorry if I sound upset it's because I am.

CRIMINALS: FEEL FREE TO VANDALIZE CARS! WE HAVE NO SECURITY! Just saw a girl have her car door vandalized by two people who were clearly on drugs and driving a car without license plates in the front or back of vehicle. They used a grocery cart to smash in the driver's side door of the car next to them, taking off the paint and denting in the door panel. I encouraged the girl to speak to the manager inside. The managers response was "Call the police. There's nothing we can do about it." Well, that's easy to say and honestly a lazy response to give a customer. Do you really think a girl who is alone in a parking lot at night should try and stop two people on drugs in a what is likely a stolen vehicle while she calls the police? Where are your security guards?! I understand management likely won't take action on this until after something awful happens. When that day comes, I'm sure an attorney will contact me. Then...maybe management can provide some safety to customers. Do. Your. Job. read more

This is definitely one of the WOST HEBs I have ever been to. The customer service here is pretty terrible. One time I got turned away because they said my ID was fake. I had just turned in my out of state drivers license and the department of transportation gave me a notarized form to use until my Texas ID came in. I am well over 21 years of age. I asked my fiance to go ahead and purchase the wine, but the manager said that she could not do that. She was rude and did not explain policy. The selection here is slim too! No fresh tortillas! read more

My friends and I affectionately call this HEB location "the ghetto HEB". The produce section inevitably has rotten [insert produce name here] and flies buzzing all around it.

Where oh where have all the baked goods gone, that used to fill our heads with warmth. The smells,…read morethe aromas, the bursting flavors as each morsel was enjoyed for its special delight. I grew up in a small town where bakery shops anchored each neighborhood. There were bread bakeries where the fresh baked aroma reached my nostrils long before I reached the bakery. The bread so fresh and delicious it could be eaten before I got home unless I put it away someplace where it wasn't easily reached. Then the famous Pine Street Bakery right in the middle of my paper route where I could always negotiate the cost of delivery for a sweet juicy wonderful morsel of baked goods. And so I was spoiled and fattened with such pastries, pies, desserts. Succulent Danish pastry, fresh baked pies, and cakes that made Mom cry. So today I do my best to find anything to take home for dessert. On my recent trip to HEB I stopped at the bakery noticing a top shelf of baked goods sold under an upscale sounding label. Something a bit above the rest. So for $14.98 I purchased the Banana Creme Pie with Bischoff Cookie Pieces. I always love a god Banana Cream Pie loaded with banana in cream. I really thought that it would have bananas. But no! The listing of ingredients showed a banana puree after the first twelve chemicals used to create this illusion. The rest of the fifty ingredients only served to preserve this chemical creation in perpetuity. Stupidly I didn't't just stop with the pie as two cake slices stood out begging me to purchase them. A Birthday Confetti Cake and a Lemon Mouse Cake with each slice costing $7.99 I felt quite proud to be bringing home something nice for dessert. Like the pie (?) before them these chemical concoctions ended up in the garbage disposal. When the goods behind the counter are all the result of chemical concoctions and frosting illusions there is nothing real about HEB Bakery. Are there real bakeries using real ingredients, (non-artificial, non-chemical ingredients) in the Austin area? I need a good fix.
