    Ordered from a different Smart & Final
    Maydole S.

    I called 3 times and was placed on hold . All I was asking is if they had any vegan egg(Just egg) , every time I go there is only like 1 available. Well today I called and some young kid named Gaby answered. She left me on hold, then started giggling with her coworkers thinking she had hung up. Then I call again and tells me they don't sell it. I ask her since when and then asks a coworker and then hangs up once again. I'm sorry , all I wanted to know is if there are any vegan eggs available for me to drive down there and pick up. The customer service here is ridiculous. Gaby gotta go... very bad service if I could give no stars I would, just ordered from a different Smart & Final

    Deviled eggs, bread rolls, green bean casserole, sparkling cider --one can find all ingredients at S & F

    One of closest grocery store to us, we frequently shop here as it has reasonable prices, and I know I won't spend a fortune as if I venture to Costco! Fruits & vegetable selection is not as large as you'd find at Sprouts, Ranch 99 or similar places, but when looking for convenience and overall value, S & F is the place to shop.

    I used to live much closer to this location of Smart & Final. It's more of a warehouse-like grocery store that serves those who reside within a short radius. The footprint is not large so the inventory isn't as extensive as one of the chain supermarkets. The parking lot has plenty of spaces as this is the anchor business of the shopping plaza. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the temperature. It felt like I had entered a blast chiller with the way the AC was operating at a maximum to keep the environment cool. This may be great when the summer heat has arrived but not so much when winter is still present. I also felt a bit claustrophobic as large boxes on pallets occupied some of the common spaces. As for prices, I didn't think they were that much cheaper. Some items in bulk looked comparable, but for things like household products and other dry goods, you can go to Walmart down the street and save even more. I do have to give credit to one of the workers who asked if I needed help with anything. You won't find that kind of customer service at the larger stores.

    Stop by here to pick up some extraneous items for the week. Not crowded at all and very clean! Great prices on wine!!

    This is a small Smart & Final. Aisles are tight, inventory limited. I used to stop here after work to pick up specials from the weekly ad.

I was pretty…read moresurprised at the size and how well it seems to be managed given his clean and well-organized it was when I visited. Prices did seem a bit inflated but you're in a Ralph's downtown in San Diego so it was expected. Bathrooms require a code with a purchase from the store which was also to be expected. Employees there are definitely rude and sarcastic which brought down the experience of going there. They do have a patio but there are a good amount of homeless people around there so not sure if eating your lunch there is the best idea.

    We were walking back to our car after an event when we passed by this Ralph's on G Street. We were…read morestill several blocks from the car, and I needed a restroom. I entered the store and found my way to the back were the bathrooms are only to find that I needed a code to unlock the door. I suppose that is a necessary evil given the homeless problem in and around the store. For folks like me who just need to pee, it was a real hassle. I scouted around the store for a couple of minutes looking for an employee who might provide me with the code. After not having any luck, I said "F*ck it" and left. I just held it until we arrived at the building where the car was parked and used the facilities there. The store, did however, look like a pretty good Ralph's if you live or were staying nearby.

    I love this store! I rarely shop here, but one day after lunch, I wanted dessert and I remembered…read morethey had Julian apple pies. I've been in before and bought one of my favorite wines, but it was all about dessert today. I also grabbed a Talenti vanilla gelato because you can't have apple pie without it being ala mode! I waited at the register since there wasn't anyone around, but then the friendly worker came out from over by the coffee area. Apologized and rang me up. He: The pie is 50% off Me: What? He: Yes Scored! They offer the discount when the pie is a day after its "sell by" but it was still delicious! Ok, so now I'm going to stop in when I'm in the neighborhood. I still would've paid full price because I love Julian pies! Great little market!

    I love this market in Little Italy! They have many of my favorite items from Abruzzo, Italy (best…read morearea for top notch ingredients that I used to carry back from Italy, and now without flying). Service is always helpful and friendly, from answering questions to finding things. The second half of the store even contains a deli & coffee shop. Finally tried their Latte and it's perfect. But best of all, if you don't feel like cooking, they offer fresh lasagna & eggplant parmigiana in the fridge to reheat at home -and they're delicious! Store is clean and well organized. It's difficult to leave without an armful of goodies!!
