I've been using walmart's delivery/pickup service and so far it's become one of my favorite ways to shop with them. I haven't shopped at a walmart in years so these methods afford me the opportunity to shop with them without the hassle of going inside the store. On my last pickup order they handed us a gift, a cute little goodie bag filled with samples and coupons. I was totally appreciative. Pickup service is easy to use. Just pick a spot and check in on the app when you arrive. They'll come out to your car and will pack the groceries for you. It saves me so much time and energy especially when I'd rather not wander through busy, overcrowded isles. read more

The weather forecast for our week in Galveston was for unseasonably warm weather so we didn't think we needed jackets but then the sea fog rolled in and it was low 60's and damp and windy so we came to Walmart to get some polar fleece. My wife and I each got a zip up hoodie for around $14 each so not bad at all. The staff was nice and they had plenty of cashiers on hand for checkout. read more

Okay cashiers, so you don't like it when people go to the self check out because it takes away your job right? That's understandable, but do you get that people go to the self check out because the majority of cashiers are jerks? I honestly think the cashier that I tried to go to today wants to get fired because her attitude stunk so bad that I turned around and left and went to the self check out. I'm sick of it Galveston Walmart! Why is everyone in this store so freaking mean? I stay away for months at a time because every time I come here I get abused. I give yall chance after chance and still you fail. There are a few good employees at the store which I feel sorry for because everyone else here sucks, so it must be a drag to work here with all these negative people! Figure it out because it's not rocket science! If you treat customers like crap they are not going to be nice to you either. Treat people with kindness and I bet the customers will be a lot nicer too. You do have to provide a service to people believe it or not. It is your job! read more

Most everyone that delivered my groceries done very well with getting them delivered on time. If they can't find you they will call. There's been only minor issues with missing one or two small items. One time,they were missing some of my moms order because they delivered them to the wrong address due to my mom and another lady that has the same name but different spelling. They just need to pay attention to the address they are delivering to is pretty much all they need to work on. read more

July 20, 2023 Came for grocery pick up at 245 and wouldn't you know, ole Wally decided to expand the amount of car slots, so now pick up goes all the way from 1 to 45; that's a lot of cars. It's a long walk for the humans too, and just think when it rains. It's going to be an even longer wait time. I waited 20 minutes during a work week/time, and it still took that long. It's hard to think that this island has the number of customers, but they do read more

Walmart Supercenter - What? No no bag for the milks?!! - Department Stores Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Third time here coming in for toiletries before going on a cruise. When you've been to one Walmart, they're all very similar. However, pricing on food items varies depending on the location. Nonfood goods are the same price regardless of what state you're in. But food prices vary. For example: a bag of popcorn is $2.98 at this Walmart, but $3.15 in San Diego. Same product, different states, so different prices. Loved that they have a gluten-free section. Usually, the same items as found in other Walmarts. The only negative, they have limited varieties of yogurt both in terms of flavors and types - not a lot of plant based. I use self checkout and have only asked for help a few times so limited interaction with employees. But the few I've met have been nice. Because it's Texas, grocery bags are free. No $0.10 per bag charge like in California. Lots of parking. Uber and Lyft arrive quickly usually within 3 minutes. So there's never a wait which is nice when you've got grocery bags. read more

Place was Clean, well organized and easy to find needs. However a Tall Woman with Brown hair, hefty build and Glasses, was tremendously rude. I asked if they were closing down an isle do to the time and he her standing right next to it. She spoke to me with such ignorance, and disrespect. Like the face of a dog she said, "there is someone using that one, you can't use it." Ruff back to you lady, I see your breed... smh. Pray for the ugly lady. May you receive lower pay. read more

Compared to the Walmart back at home (Buffalo,Ny), this place is huge! There is so many more items that are available here, that isn't available in my hometown. For a store to be this big, you would think it would be chaotic or even a mess. But this store is well organized and clean. read more

We ordered our wedding cake from this location and we were pleasantly surprised! The cake was gorgeous and the flavor was amazing. We got the strawberry filling to jazz it up a bit and no one could believe it was a Walmart cake! We highly recommend the bakery at this location to anyone planning an event on the island! read more

The worst customer service ever. I have been to stores with self check but, usually they have people to help if there is a problem. Since we had beer in our cart we needed a rep to approve the purchase and ID us. The rep had disappeared I saw her by the customer service talking to a friend of hers, not an employee. I asked her, if she could come help. Her response was, I am not coming over there, and she walked away. So RUDE!!! The store set up sections on each end of the store for self check. None are open and we have to stand in a very long line in one of the few aisles that are open with a checker to cash out. read more

This Walmart location definitely has it all. We realized we needed some extra groceries and this store was a close drive for us. We ended up going twice! So glad they had everything we needed including my special matcha blend I drink. Yay! read more

A huge WalMart Super Center right on Galveston Island! It's great that there is a grocery store and a regular WalMart combined into one! I had items from the grocery and other departments in my list so it was great to be able to do it as a one stop shopping trip! read more

Profiling people of color. Came in with my wife and grandchildren, followed around store, everyone staring at you. I purchased a shirt, my granddaughter purchased sunglasses. Paid with cash walked out of store and 2 employees from Walmart waiting In The parking lot watching me leave and took down my license plate number. Don't go in this store people of color. They assume all people of color are crooks. So they don't need our money. read more

Worst store I have ever been in and unfortunately will have to go back for a few things but very few! Worst customer service and employees attitudes let alone the store smells!! read more

Worse ever. Only two checkers then after a long line, won't let me get a gift card for $200. Had to stand in another line at customer service. Once checker was so slow, I thought she was challenged. Wish I could give this Walmart a negative star! read more

This is the best Walmart I have ever been to. Over the last 8 years I have been to at least 100 Walmarts. I travel full-time in an RV (and write about it at livinginbeauty.net) and Walmart is a dependable source for about a third of my essential needs. This Walmart is the cleanest, neatest, friendliest and most organized I've ever seen. Thank you to the managers and staff for a great shopping experience on Easter Day. read more

I'm starting to see that it will be the same negative experience every time I do a pick up order from this Walmart. Yet again, I placed a pick up order and though it was ready on time, I did not receive my order until after my pickup window which means I waited for over an hour. While I was waiting, I received a notification stating that my order had already been picked up, which was not true. I tried calling the store multiple times but no one answered the phone so finally, I got out of my car to speak with the person who was working in the pickup area. He asked my name and said the system showed that I was parked in a different parking spot than I actually was which I guess is the reason why there was such a delay. He apologized for the inconvenience but that doesn't do much good especially since knowing that I have this experience every time. If I place a pick up order, I should not have to get out of my car for any reason. That defeats the purpose of placing the order. This Walmart needs to have more people working in this department or something needs to be done because there's always an issue whenever I am picking up my order. I hate Walmart, especially this one. And I will likely not be back, for pickup or in store shopping. read more

Stop by to grab some "picnic" items for the night since we are stopping by and really getting sick and tired constantly eating at fast food places. And of course, deli is down. Super disappointed to. So far the staff tonight haven't followed to "6 ft" rule when it comes to helping to find stuff here. I'm at awe that they have the bakery at one side and the deli at the other side of the store. Store is zone nicely. read more

Absolutely horrendous... I was trying to reach the pick up line for my food that i ordered and they completely ignored my calls. They did not answer and would not answer. This happened yesterday to. You SHOULD NOT USE THIS WALMART! Worst experience. They don't return phone calls and just people sitting outside. This place sucks. read more

If I could give it a zero I would. Your problem with theft in Galveston is no excuse for rudeness . Cheap items locked behind glass making it extremely cumbersome and also having to deal with trash associates with their napoleon complexes is just too much to handle. We will give our business to local shops . Take your big box bs and get lost . read more

The absolute laziest employees I've ever encountered. Whatever you do, DO NOT sign up for delivery from this store. it's truly the most the ridiculous service EVER! They refuse to answer the phone when try to call. The order is NEVER right and they'll show it as delivered-even if they never showed up!!! read more

Location, location, location. First, Who needs to drive far to get here? It's halfway between the two extremes of Galveston. Second, What is across the road? The Seawall and the Gulf. Third, I Don't Know of a more convenient store if you're visiting and staying in one of the many hotels. Naturally, this being Walmart, the merchandise is of slightly lower quality, and the customer service is very low. So, coming out of left field, Why would you think this location would be different? Because! (no, he's center field) So here's a pitch: Tomorrow, go here to get your groceries, swimsuit, new phone, makeup, or whatever you need. But there's a catch: Today, you should be able to find better things somewhere else on the island, although at a higher price. And I Don't Care. (Abbott & Costello must be groaning in their graves by now...) read more

So I want to start by saying that's MS. DIAMOND WHITE was super helpful in the pick up department. I had a big issue go wrong with my order and she was there to clean it up! Thanks again for all your customer support she truly is a gem Wal-Mart! Make sure to take care of this worker she is a huge part of your location! MS. CAMERON is a very happy customer! read more

Absolute living nightmare. This store is an absolute living nightmare. Used diapers on the floor. Employees that look like they've just rolled out of bed. Chaos, screaming babies, carts everywhere in the parking lot. I realize that Walmart isnt Whole Foods but come on, people. I'd rather take a hot poker to the eye than step foot into this store ever again. read more

Sunny clear day, they are now 30 hours late with grocery delivery. I complained to their shitty customer service last night, said it would be here by morning. It's 1pm now, they just called and asked "Duh, do you still want your groceries?" Trying to quit my membership with free delivery, finding it almost impossible online. Hard to avoid Walmart living on Galveston Island, but man do they suck. read more

I seldom use the word "never", but I can say that I have literally never placed an order with this company that I haven't needed to call customer service with one issue or another. After having been in a love-hate relationship with Walmart for many years I am finally saying "NEVER" AGAIN! I am so done with them. read more

In short, I can only confirm the 2 star rating for the service one receives when looking for or needing assistance within the store. This location's rating has not seen a 3 star average rating in years. After requesting the manager and she/he was a "no-show" I was told that as an associate "there is nothing else she can do". Total wait time for assistance 8 minutes. Wait time for management 5 minutes. Left without my 8 yards of fabric. So my guess is the problems start and end with management. Unlike most Wal-Marts the nearest location is 20+ miles away. I was there Monday afternoon, August 9th. **This is NOT the service I receive from the associates in the Curbside Dept. They continue to be accurate, communicative, friendly and helpful. read more

Add this to your list of terrible walmarts. Went to get a tv and asked if they could assist me bringing it to the front. The tv wasn't heavy, just awkward. The guy searched twice for a cart when I asked if we could just walk it to the front. Then he went to go look for a pallet jack. Got frustrated after waiting around 20 minutes that I just took the tv up there myself. There was 5 other idiots standing in electronics being even more worthless. They should fire half these people so that maybe they can afford flat carts since "customer service" is me doing all the work, including checking myself out. read more

Always grateful to Galveston Walmart employees for keeping everything organized and in order. Walmart prices are always reasonable and there is plenty of stuff to choose from. Thank you! read more

I despise Walmart, and refuse to shop here unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes when we are out camping, it is necessary. Recently they added a scan and go app that made the Walmart experience tolerable. I am even ok with the ridiculous charge of $13 a month. Unlike Sam's club scan and go app that is free (maybe because we are paying to be members now that I think this thru), at any rate, the scan and go app at Walmart makes shopping there much easier. It is a huge hassle to get connected to the wifi network and sign in and navigate to the app, and there is never an associate available to assist in connecting to this service, but once you do successfully connect, you are golden. While I am on the subject of the scan and go app, there are some things you do need approval for. Alcohol, certain other drugs, superglue, etc. And I haven't figured out how to use a Walmart gift card yet. Which brings me to the reason for a one star review today. We had to return something today that we bought yesterday. An item that didn't work. When we got to the cstmr srv line, there was a family of 4 returning several items, two employees were. Ehind the counter, so I was optimistic. However, after about two minutes, even though we were standing there, the second employee left. The associate left with the family and their return needed assistance from two other senior associates. Each one helped her, then walked off, despite us still standing there, and now two other customers joining the line. Twenty-five minutes later, we were finally assisted, and after a nother single minute, we were done. So 25 minutes of waiting, one minute for our transaction read more

Paid for months delivery, website is ALWAYS BROKEN. When FINALLY did place order, an hour after received email stating they CANCELLED the order and was told to reorder. Placed reorder and was charged AGAIN! They STILL charged me $27.00The first time! I got hosed for $60 plus $12.95 for device they COULDN'T PROVIDE. Outsorsed customer service was no help whatsoever! DO NOT USE THEM! read more

The store front manager renette (lady with the blue hair) was very rude to myself and my wife. We tried returning a chair that was bought and never used. We were told she was not returning it today and she chooses what gets returned. Meanwhile she let a lady in front of us return a bunch of food. Very unprofessional. Nowhere in the return policy does it say no returns of chairs BUT it does say no food. read more

PLEASE STOP LOCKING EVERYTHING UP IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO UNLOCK THE CASES. I pressed the call button and waited 15 minutes and no one came. I asked an employee if he could open it and he said he'd have to tell the people in the back because they're the only ones with the keys. I waited more and no one came. I decided to ask someone before I checked out if anyone could get me into that case, he found someone, they said they don't have the keys either, he turned to me and said "sorry we don't have the keys." Then when I was checking out he said if I was willing to wait longer they'd try to find them but I'd already waited around 20 minutes so I decided to just leave. I wasn't even trying to get anything expensive, I just needed face wash. read more

As a frequent visitor here, this is the better place to get your family needs in one spot for vacation. From cheap beach sand toys for kids to your groceries and booze, it's all here. It Walmart. It's crowded. It's big. It's also one stop does it all. Shampoo? Check. Hotdogs and steaks? Check. Beach towels and sunscreen? Check. Wine soda and tequila? Check. Damn, for got Bobby's bathing suit? Check! Check check check. Make your list. Get it all in one stop. Hint. Galveston's grocery stores like Randall's maybe smaller but the mark ups are ridiculous. I've found them to be more marked up during summer. Walmart doesn't do that. Prices are consistent. read more

Got to give walmart here their props. After going to dollah tree, walgreens, and cvs with no success, I finally found a simple am/fm radio at this location. For that I am grateful.
