I frequent all Walgreens stores mainly because regardless of service I can normally find what I'm looking for there. This store however has always provided me with good, friendly service. I worked in Galveston for 2 years and went to this store all the time, it was literally down the road from my work. Heck, I think it's the only one on the island! I've always been greeted as I entered, and as I've been checking out my items the cashiers have always been friendly. The store is obviously beach-heavy when it comes to their merchandise, and whenever I've been in the store it's been clean, the shelves have been maintained, and I've had a good experience. The manager seems to make it a point to have a clean store. I have NOT dealt with this pharmacy or photo counter l so I cannot review those services. Overall, this is a decent Walgreens to visit. read more

The man that was the pharmacist, not a pharmacist helper. This man was completely rude and could care less. Anytime I started talking he would cut me off and talk over me. The man would not help me or did he care. The man had a huge attitude the whole time I talk to him I will never go back to Walgreens nor this Walgreens. read more

Absolutely everything. This is the worse pharmacy ever. I feel like no one knows what they are doing and the ones that do don't even acknowledge you. I worked at Walgreens pharmacy as a pharmacy technician and would never treat customers the way the girls here treat you. They are so rude it is beyond unbelievable!!! Especially the one working the front (who flipped her badge around so I couldn't see her name.) She has Long dirty blonde / brown hair. Management needs to step up and do something about this. Every time I come here they are so rude. Never in my life have I seen anything like it. If you hate your job then find a new one. Don't try to make everyone around you miserable! (I'll post her name next time have the unfortunate luck of having to stand in her line/ communicate with her) so rude!!! read more

Walgreens on 61sthad to order my pain medication after the doctor called it in. It was not unusual for them to take 5 days to get it in. This is a prescription that the doctor called in every month, so it was highly inconvenient not to mention painful. read more

The drive thru RX is extremely S L O W It doesn't matter time of day... or what day it is... they're S L O W So, the pharmacy calls me 3 days ago to find out if I'm picking up my RX I was out of town and said I'd pick it up THIS week... well, guess what? They canceled It. FONDLY DISLIKE THIS pharmacy Kroger is QUICK but unfortunately I have to come here read more

See all

The pharmacy staff is phenomenal! I forgot to pack a medicine for vacation and they went out of their way to have it ready when I arrived in town. They then provided suggestions on what to do and where to eat while in town. read more

This pharmacy closes between 1:30 and 2:00 for lunch. I'm not really sure why they can't rotate staff and stay open, but that's neither here nor there. I was in line to pick up a prescription at 1:10. For whatever reason, the person in front of me did not get taken care of in that 20 minute period. When the adjacent lane opened I pulled in with 2 minutes to spare, called for assistance and nobody answered. I can understand not taking care of somebody if they pulled up during lunch but I basically waited there for almost a half an hour and now need to come back. Very poor customer service. read more

The pharmacy is unacceptable. Twice in a row, they've sent me home without part of my prescription order (the antibiotics we've been prescribed to treat our young ones). This most recent time, I knew to ask "how many am I being sent home with?" 1. Out of 3. Asked them to check again, "oh yessir, they're here". They just simply miss them. Time & time again. They're not waiting on them from the doctor. They're just not paying attention. Unacceptable. Extremely long wait times, for nobody to even address or acknowledge you most of the time. read more

I waited at the drive-thru window to pick up a prescription. After 25 minutes I was told there was no prescription there for me. After I got I home I looked at mychart to find the prescription had been ordered 4 days before. I got Walgreens on the phone to find that, even though I had previously gotten this same medication from them, they didn't fill the prescription because my insurance did not covered it. This is the worst pharmacy on Earth! And Walgreens is the worst pharmacy chain. I will never shop here again. read more

My boyfriends had an appointment at noon for a shot. They took nearly thirty minutes to give him a shot that would take one minute. Do not come here for a shot, just go to an urgent care or doctors office. read more

Excellent service. Wide range of products. Clean. Restrooms top par. Pharmacists busy busy busy, but providing well.

We went to this Walgreens to pick up supplies while in Galveston. The store itself is typical of every other Walgreens in America. Since it is located near the beach, it was stocked with beach items, as well as the traditional Walgreens items. The beach items included boogie boards, goggles, ear plugs, etc. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful with one exception. I needed to use the bathroom, but when I entered there was a Walgreens employee sitting on the floor working on the toilet. We perused the store for about 15 minutes and I tried again. Nope. He was still sitting on the floor, but this time the toilet looked repaired. I have no idea what he was doing, but since he was blocking the toilet, I figured it was off limits. read more

Walgreens - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Galveston, Texas

The pharmacy tech Lexi in the window is completely incompetent and should not be working in a pharmacy or in the customer service industry. She also told us that they never received the prescription when in fact they did. I would give this location 0 stars if I could. Sat in the waiting area for over 2 hours and when they finally called us to the window the informed us that they lost a prescription that I needed and are unable to find it. The pharmacist could not locate them even though he said he found them at first. The other pharmacy tech showed very unhygienic traits and was eating and doing her make up in an area that they fill prescriptions. 0/10 DO NOT EVER YOU THIS LOCATION FOR YOUR PHARMACY!!! read more

Pharmacy sucks. Told my daughters pediatrician if he could write a prescription for Tylenol since I was doing poorly on bill and couldn't buy the meds one after her shots. So I go there through the drive thru and I tell her my daughters name and she said well this is just a shelf medicine you should come inside and just pay fo it, I said no. Her pediatrician prescribed this for her so I wouldn't have to pay. It's cover by Medicare. She kept saying " I don't have time to go over there and grab it we have a long line I suggest you come in and paying for it."" "It's just a shelf medicine I don't Even in now why is prescribed." They didn't know my situation. This was for a three month old child. Really messed up read more

The pharmacy is awful. There have been problems with every single prescription and refill for an entire year. Takes days to fill anything. Can't get a person on the phone or an honest answer about what is taking so long. I never leave reviews but had to say something. Do yourself a favor go elsewhere. read more

Everytime I get prescription refilled it is such an ordeal. Saturday called in3 prescription. Blood pressure medicine. Tuesday and it was finally filled. After 4 phone calls today, ended up going over there after work. One was filled, they said the other one had to be delivered, but all of a sudden they had found 90 pills. But lost the original one that was filled. The people that work here are not responsible enough to handle our medication. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. Waited for 50 min today for my prescription only to be told they lost it. Came home and they called and hour later to tell me they found it, tried to call back to make sure it will be ready in the morning and they had me on hold for one hour!!!!! Everyone should be fired in this store, not one person should be kept on at this shity, pitiful location!!!! read more

What happens more times that not are long wait lines at this location for the pharmacy. Upon reaching the counter (in-store) or window (drive-up), one can see they do not appear to be short staffed so if a script is "ready for pick up", I do not understand why so incredibly slow. The drive-up, on more than one occasion, I have sat upwards of 30 minutes. IF the customers pull up with many questions &/or attempt to pick up without knowledge of their script being ready, Walgreens should designate one of the two drive up lanes for this and one for actual "ready to pick up" orders so the rest of us can simply pull up, pay, receive our order & go. Or - maybe tell the complicated orders/customers to come in side, return later, or something/anything - there has to be a better way! read more

WORST WALGREENS EVER. the employees are so rude for absolutely no reason. if you don't like your job then don't work there??? i legit had to walk out when i was about to pay because i couldn't handle to unprofessionalism. read more

Don't waste your time trying to get a Covid-19 Booster here. I made an appointment and filled out their 2 page questionnaire in advance and printed it out. I got there on time and a family that was a walked up got in front of me. I waited 25 minutes and they never acknowledged I was there. I was pressed for time and had to leave. read more

Very convenient place to pick up a few thing you need quickly. I was able to get in and out fast which is all I wanted.

I have that super fancy app on my phone that allows me to send pics straight from my phone to Walgreens for them to get printed. It was so easy and literally all I had to do was go pick them up. Everyone is usually really nice as well. There are two Redbox's at this location and it's conveniently located on 61st Street when you get into Galveston. It's a Walgreens and if you expect the service of royalty, than you need to get a life and go to some fancy shmancy pharmacy. Which don't exist on this island... read more

No staff to assist. Advertise Pepsi products and only 2 rows, both empty and cashier could not go to back to see if any available in back.

Ordered pictures to be printed then waited 2 1/2 hrs then come to find out that the printer is broken ... No call even though phone number was given ... Claimed to still have photos from months ago ... The lady working the photo section was a Wh@&$ of a C"#% Very unsatisfied ex customer read more

I had 3 kids, Including a teething 15 month old who had a fever, in the car with me and I went to CVS first to see if the staff in the drive thru would let me buy Motrin from them and they told me I had to come inside. So I went to Walgreens and tried the same thing. They were kind enough to do it for me. Saved so much hassle of bringing kids into there! Thank you pharmacy staff that was there between 1:45-2:15!! read more

This was our first stop upon arriving in Galveston to get some supplies: soda, snacks, etc. While this is a typical Walgreen's they do have beach items. We found everything we needed and had more than one employee ask us if we needed help as we wandered aimlessly seeing what we needed. We used the restroom while we were there and I was surprised how clean it was. There is another "drug store" nearby and this one has the best selection. read more

Their poor customer service finally got to me and I switched to CVS. It was either that or risk popping an artery out of frustration at their inability to serve people in a timely and fair manner. read more

Worst ever they gave me a cash price of over $1000.00 Walmart charged Me 88.00 for the same prescriptions i went back n the Manager said they have a different supplier read more

Worst Walgreens Ever ONLY because of Gretchen not only was she rude but he made faces at me! She stated she couldn't do a gift certificate after I just saw her do one! I stood there seeing if she would page out for assistance and she didn't do a thing. She just stood there and said if I wanted to check out I could go to photo. So I took my stuff to check out with a very sweet lady.I don't understand what the issue was but Gretchen decided to not want to help me & as i was walking away i turned back and she was making faces at me! read more

This is the WORST experience EVER- my insulin script was filled incorrectly from a call in order- I called my dr to get issue addressed and the pharmacy wouldn't answer phone when doctor was trying to address issue- I literally had to stand at consult line for over an hour with the doctor on phone to try and get this resolved- please go across the street to CVS or to the other Walgreens on the SeaWall - There is just no excuse- I plan on calling the corporate office- they can't possibly think this level of service is acceptable! read more

Don't try to call the pharmacy if you need something, because I was on hold for 45 minutes yesterday with supposedly 1 person before me and never spoke to a soul. When I called today, there were 3 people in front of me, so naturally I felt it might be more beneficial to drive over to the 61st location. When I got there, there were 4 people in front of me and 2 people sitting down. I felt discouraged and walked to the front to pay for a couple of other items. When I got to the front, I asked to speak to the manager. A nice young man called the manager to photo where she was supposed to meet me. Now if she was busy than someone should have told me that. But instead I waited for her and then decided to pay for what my sister needed and left. The nice young man told me at that point that she was busy in the pharmacy. I told him that I would never be back and if I were you, go to a different Walgreens and pray to God that you get some decent customer service in Galveston. read more

This is my last visit to this pharmacy. Although convenient to my home trying to get prescriptions filled and picked up is impossible. The pharmacy needs help! read more

The absolutely worst Walgreens on the planet ever. It took me three days and over two hours to get someone on the phone to fill my prescription, and then when I gave them two hours to fill it, still wasn't ready when I got there and they just don't care. Walgreens is usually great, but avoid this one like the plague, the service is Absolutely horrible horrible horrible read more

Avoid at all costs. Horribly slow and possibly the most unintelligent employees on the planet. This place needs to be closed. They have messed up numerous times including: losing a prescription, filling a prescription with generic when our insurance only covered the actual prescribed drug, photos not ready when the were supposed to be and today, my daughter had an appointment to get a booster shot and waited 90 minutes before leaving. read more

This store has friendly people who are always willing to help! Always helps me find what I need.

Well stocked Walgreens with some good sales and specials on the groceries I needed. Conveniently located and open 24 hours.

Never go to this pharmacy. Every time I have to go here theres a problem. Tonight they had 1 lady working and she was frazzled. She kept saying they were working on my prescription but never was. 2 1/2 hours later I get my prescription and it wasn't right!! Go to Randall..Cvs...anywhere but here! read more

If I could give this location's pharmacy a zero I would. Worst customer ever. They immediately put you on hold when you call - and never take you off of it. I've never been able to actually speak to someone on the phone. Either staff up, or get better employees. read more

This is the worst Pharmacy I have ever been to. Don't call unless you literally have an hour plus to be in hold. When you show up an hour and a half after it is suppose to be ready and the super rude lady gets your name, then proceeds to tell you they need more time and that you need to come back later, end of story, exact words. How this place stays in business, even if this a rare occurrence, is beyond me. What a disgrace. read more

I like Walgreen's and have used them for years for my prescriptions. Moved to the west end of Galveston and transferred my prescriptions here but I am considering moving to another pharmacy due to the poor service I have received so far. They are very slow on filling prescriptions and just discovered they shortchanged me on one by about 8 pills. Should I have to count my pills before I leave the store? This never happened at the Walgreens on the Seawall. read more
