Stopped in to pick up some food for Valentine's Day. Things seem to have gotten more expensive recently Period ended up buying a couple packages of roll to make some roast beef sandwiches. One thing I did make note of as you see in the pictures the price per ounce tags are not correct if what I saw on the shelf is to be used as an example when it comes to the chocolate candy. waited in a little bit of a line but then they opened up a new line. read more

Prepped for a house party and decided to use chaffing dishes on a last minute. The issue was I ran out of chaffing fuel! Food4Less was my go-to for that and wasted so much time looking for it just to learn they no longer carry it. I could have gone to Sam's (not too far from Food4Less) but it's the weekend and it's safe to assume that place is gonna be mad crowded. On my way to pick up ordered food to serve for the party, here pops out Smart & Final, and I thought... "has this place been here this whole time?" It's one of those places I never saw until the need came up! And so glad for the discovery! It was on the way home. Found the fuel cans quickly and was out just as fast. And they were reasonably priced! Staff were friendly as well. Now in my radar! read more

Smart & Final - Grocery Near Me - Torrance, California

When you need a bucket of red licorice or a case of Gatorade this is the go to place. Locate right there in Torrance, there is plenty of parking and they are open early. Only took a star off due to delays and challenges at checkout... the store is well stocked and has everything you need to keep an office happy with snacks and drinks. read more

This was an interesting place, stood in line behind two employees who discounted their items because the plastic on the cases of water and soda were open. I guess this is a secret thing, never knew this was an option... read more

Smart & Final - Grocery Near Me - Torrance, California

They were well stocked and the employees were not only efficient but also helpful. This Smart and Final is smaller than the one by my home but they had some items I didn't see before. It was like a new adventure. I'll be back for sure. read more

Smart &final modernized their store on Vermont and Carson in Torrance but omitted to up grade their produce department Same old tired and almost rotten vegetables and fruit. Beware the soggy melons and bendable cucumbers. read more

Abundance of essentials on hand. Easy to look for items. Clean, bright and well ventilated facilities.

What in the heck do you do when you're old and not app savvy to get discounts. My husband and I are beyond annoyed. It makes shopping there which used to be our favorite store really upsetting. As a matter of fact it causes more stress than we need. God make it stop read more

Located off Vermont Ave in Torrance. Not much to say about this it's your typical grocery store set up. Signs are visible of what items your need in the rows/aisle. Check out was smooth and pretty quick granted it wasn't too crowded inside. They do have some good deals on a lot of stuff and some items in bulk as well. Main reason I came was for the butter toffee peanut the location by me has been sold out for the past two weeks so I decided to go check another location and this one had them in stock. Overall for certain items I will come to S&F. read more

This store is not typical as they have a problem with putting the groceries they bag into your basket. Strange, some type of small mind thinking considering customers pay your salary. Another issue is with recent renovations, you think produce quality would have upgraded as well. The new look is all smoke and mirrors if the reason you shop there is not being satisfied; like the experience of choosing great firm clean and unbruised fruits and vegetables. Make your buyers more accountable with higher standards when selecting our foods. This is not 3rd world and we will not get used to it. Do better especially since your cost is expensive compared to stores like Walmart and food 4 less and Sam's Club that carry way better produce. Eventhough Sam's Club did fall short but trying correct the problem lately. read more

When this store first opened, the produce was some of the best around. I went in the other day...Every piece of produce I bought was limp, wet and soggy. The grape tomatoes in the container were mildewed. The blueberries were mushy and 3/4 were mildewed. This is just unacceptable at the rates they expect people to pay. I will NEVER go back there to purchase produce. Sealed items are ok, but steer clear of the produce section. read more

Really remodeled this place a bunch before it was missing a lot and I never use to go to this store because they would never have anything I need but now it seems like it's actually turning into a good store with the remodel and everything starting to take shape it looks nice hopefully I can come here without needing anything else to make dinner read more

So I place a huge meat order on a Tuesday for next week FRIDAY pickup. 10 days in advance. Kid from the meat department writes it down on a notebook. Even took my phone number down. I come on a Friday and ask how do I get my order. The register calls the manager his name is "Danny". He tries to find my order and said they didn't place that order. So I asked him in the future how can we fix this problem. He said talk to him and will place the order. I told him how about if you are off that day. He said to talk to him. "What"?! How can I talk to you if you are off? He just kept insisting to get a hold of him even when he is off. How the heck do I get a hold of you in store if your off?! For every young person out there please go to school so this doesn't happen. read more

Selling old salads. This is just disgusting. My boyfriend and I went there today morning to buy this salad and the salad we got was old, watery & disgusting. The pictures clearly show they were old. The quality of their food is obviously not checked. Paid $7 for this disgusting "food" they sell. read more

Working at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Smart & Final on Vermont has always been a convenient place to pick up a few items after work or during break time and once again, they have been there for us. Smart & Final donated food and drinks to the Department of Emergency Medicine. We are truly grateful and these items will be given to the hard working doctors within our department on National Doctors Day March 31, 2021. Many thanks to Kirby and his team! Smart & Final supports their community in so many ways. read more

Wow this place has improved a lot in terms of service over the years. The cashier jessica was the best in terms of patience, efficiency and being very cordial to customers!! read more

Smart and Final is a great place to buy certain items in bulk that you would not find in a Costco. I love the fact that this is the only grocery store I know in Torrance that sells bags of frozen mangoes (it's great for smoothies). The aisles, however, are relatively small. read more

I usually come here and buy my food, with my ebt I was buying stuff around $200 I was concerned about how much I had on my ebt the lady at the counter told me we can check we just need the pin I checked to see my balance which I had enough as soon as I was gonna complete my purchase the lady told me she needed an id because there is fraud with ebt and that they were checking every one with a high amount, it is ridiculous she could've said it the first time I asked to check my amount. read more

Jaklin ( as she gave me her name ) wasn't helpful at all She serves the customer with un smily face this was the worst part of my visit , she greets some people and doesn't for others , hope the upset manager who I did ask for will take care of this issue, I will not be back and will not recommend this place for the others. read more

Me and my mom just got some supplies for a drive by she is hosting and we were in and out just like that. I really like our cashier Rebecca and the guy that helped us find the soda we needed Danny. I really like coming here read more

This Smart & Final, like most, is a quiet one. Most of the time there's only one register open, even if the line to check out is long. I can always find everything that I would need here, no problem. Prices are awesome, selection is great, as is quality. Returns are easy, too. As long as the packaging is closed and you have a receipt, you'll get your refund, no problem. Parking is never a problem, but random, runaway shopping carts can be. Just be careful whilst in the parking lot! read more

This is so convenient and not so busy like the other major grocery close by , no carts where available but the girl working the cashier explained the situation and there was another worker looking for carts in the parking lot and wiping down as he goes , that's was very nice he went found one for me ...prices are reasonable and everyone nice... read more

This place is right around the corner... its so much easier than driving all the way to the grocery store when you know it is available here. Prices are fairly reasonable, even better when they are on sale! Only issues I've had here are things on sale not being rung up properly.. it is always fixed but it is just a pain that it has happened more than a handful of times in the past two years. read more

Terrible delivery service! DO NOT TRUST! I placed an online order and specifically stated if the gloves requested was not available, cancel the order. I had to purchase over $100 to get delivery. So I ordered whatever I could use and since their website did not say it was unavailable, I figured it was in stock. Anyways, they use SHIPT and the shopper did not get what I specifically asked for AND I was also charged for items I did not receive! Not sure if he just replaced with other items he had or what but it was horrible. They are told to leave the items at the door step to avoid contact. I also did not receive an itemized receipt at the time of the delivery. I will never use this service again! It was the first time and definitely the last time! Being charged for things I did not receive and getting things I didn't order! read more

My family and I love the good deals and how convenient it is for us. However the staff can be a little more friendly- especially Jackie ( with dirty blonde hair and acrylic nails) . She continuously give my mother and I a cold shoulder every visit. She makes no effort in small talk or a "have a good day". I've heard her tell a co worker to stop talking as she was checking someone out. Very rude and unprofessional by all expectations. read more

Ordered 12 cases of bottled water to be delivered and the driver delivered it to the wrong address and was charged for it. When I tried to call them I would always go to voice mail and it would say to use email for quicker service. Sara from support (email) said it shows the water was delivered to the address specified and there was nothing they could do. Still cannot get a live person on the phone. Going to dispute the charge on my credit card and will NEVER buy from them again! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

I had the pleasure of dealing with your manager Kerby. He was amazing in every aspect. I called about an old receipt that I needed for my CPA. Not only was he personable, effecient, quick, positive, but he did it effortlessly. Thanks Kerby you are the MVP. You essentially are part of a dying art in customer service thanks again!! read more

I Would like to start by saying I love this store starting from the manager to all the employees they are so helpful and hard-working people every time I come into the store I get great service I would not wanna shop anywhere else Danny the Manager Is very knowledgeable Lily is great very hard worker Sonia, Raul,Maria, Sebastian I just want to thank you all for making my day each and every time I go into the store I hope Smart and final appreciates you I am grateful that they have such a wonderful and dedicated crew keep up the hard work and thanks once again I love you all I'll be back in there soon again read more

Smart & Final - Please pick up this eye sore. Called and reported several times. Been here for almost a month now - Grocery Near Me - Torrance, California

Please focus on customer service. I stood in line for several minutes while another worker opened up AND took a customer that looked at the line and decided she wasn't standing in it. You are suppose to TAKE the NEXT customer in line. Then another worker opened up and TOOK another customer that wasn't next in line. Not cool and it looked very suspicious, I am not going there. Please hire better employees. Like ones who value, like, appreciate, and want their jobs. read more

Overall I had a great experience. Walking into the store, everything felt clean and fresh. I went in the morning and all the shelves looked full and nicely stocked. All the employees greeted and acknowledged me. I needed help finding ground beef and Sebastian stopped what he was doing to walk me over. Minerva was my cashier and she had excellent customer service. Every time I walk into the store, the employees always have smiles on their faces and are very helpful. read more

Typical Smart & Final. It was difficult finding some items. This store's set-up is different from several others. There was one cashier open and I damn-near had to force her to speak before she actually looked up and gave me eye contact. How rude! Be prepared for loiterers that hang in the lot. Some collect enough money to buy items inside. Sadly, they bring with them unpleasant lingering smells. read more

This place is old, stale, and cold. A huge difference from the bigger locations that seem more inviting. It just feels really gloom when shopping here. Would definitely help to have a little better service or at least more employees that have the time to help you out. It's not the best organized place. read more

I just want to warn everybody not to order online on this store. We tried to order online but when it got delivered its not even complete and I have items I did not even ordered. I txt the delivery guy I told him my order was not complete he just said to look at my receipt. It sucks because they still charge you and there is no receipt of the items they delivered. This is not only happened to me it happens to my friend as well so both of us got victim. I got charged for Popcorn and lysol for $79.09 really ?? This is so much. I know we are facing Covid please stop taking advantage to the consumers. I will not go to this store ever. read more

Tom Kaye I've visited here in Carson since they opened up the store. I've noticed every time S&F put their advertisements out, they always seem to run out of products two or three days into the Ad. Also I would add, S&F just had sale for Marie Callender's dinners at $1.69 each. Another store in Long Beach only had two spaces on the shelf for only two items (lasagna & beef/broccoli). ''You advertised assorted varieties.'' When you advertise items on sale, please have enough items & the space to last the week of the Ad !!!! read more

The Smart and Final in Torrance on PCH has been redone and it looks amazing! This is the place to go when cooking/preparing for a house party and just simply have a big family to buy for. Not as big of a bulk of products to buy like Costco but bigger then a regular supermarket. This is my place to buy croissant rolls, papertowels, toilet tissue, paper plates, and toilet paper. The lines are not as long as Costco and it has everything that I need. read more

its smart and final, what else can I say. they either have what you are looking for or not. staff friendly, store clean, prices somewhat reasonable. read more

Smart & Final is a great place to get stuff you need when throwing a mini party. We got here a half hour before closing time and found everything I needed on my list. From ground beef for burgers, cheese to put in the burgers, 3 pack condiments (ketchup, mustard and relish), tomatoes, chips, avocado dip, to salsa and more for a great price. read more

I really like this location, especially employees Kerby, Chris, Gaby, Jackie, Heydee and Rosemary. They always seem to be busy throughout the store, yet always have time to help their customers. It may be a bit smaller than other S&F's but this one has a neighborhood feel and the employees are top notch. read more
