Smart & Final

Clean store with a large selection of food, drinks, and kitchen equipment, parking for customers, and bulk sizes of things like ketchup packets and napkins for businesses. Things are usually fairly priced. In my experience, items under the store brand, First Street, match or exceed the quality of name brand products. Fresh produce can usually be found for lower prices at smaller stores nearby. There is a paid parking lot for customers and I've never seen it full. There is also a public restroom at the back of the store. Also, there are wines, a coffee grinder, dry ice, and a water jug refilling machine outside that charges by the gallon.

I’m a Whole Foods / Trader Joe’s snob. And I’m kind of kicking myself for reviewing this place publicly, because I think it’s one of the Richmond’s best-kept secrets.

Awesome grocery selection. Fresh produce. All the items I usually buy at Costco in bulk, minus a few very special Kirkland brands.

This place has made me reconsider canceling my Costco membership.

I always love shopping here. Prices are a little lower then the big box stores with a good variety. Their house brands are as good as the name brands. The staff is always helpful and happy.

Always so good to shop here. The staff really helpful. Love finding everything in one place.

This is a GREAT place. I used to shop in this edifice with my mom, when it was QFI and I was a child. Now, it's a wonderful place I frequent with my own daughter, after we go to acupuncture next door. I pick up frozen lasagna, fish sticks, ziti, pizza, and pot pies for a song, I get blocks of delicious cheese, racks of rice pudding, cartons of yoghurt, bags and bags of frozen peas, hand sanitizer, soup, fruit cocktail, all the stuff an American would eat, Bisquick, and they are so nice and it's so cheap and it's so delicious. If I get a ride, I can buy more stuff, otherwise, just what my girl and I can carry on the bus. All week long, I am grateful to smart and final for my delicious, paid for food. It's great I tell you, great. Maybe just don't expect it to be other than it is, a wonderful place where you can afford to lay up a great dinner.

Lots of parking, well stocked with all of the staples available in both normal and bulk quantities. Grocery, produce, cleaning/housewares, restaurant supply and alcohol.

You can find good deals.

I love it ... good prices, good service Art the cashier always make sure we don't forget enything.. always happy face

Always check the weekly Ad. Many items here are cheaper then Safeway , and they always have a great weekly sale items. Staff is friendly , and efficient , and check out is efficient now that all customers form a single check out line.
Parking can get tight at mid day , but it’s easy at all other hours.
Store stocks many items in larger sizes , and also runs some sales based on buying large quantities.
I suggest adding this chain into your weekly shopping rotation.

I've been going here for years. It's handy because it has fresh produce, meats, dairy, frozen, alcohol,, candy, spices,, nice deals, party and catering supplies, and you can buy in bulk. The cashier who checked me out today was helpful. During the pandemic they have protective checkouts, etc. Parking is usually pretty good here.

It's like having a local big box store, pricewise. Fortunately, it's not huge, and has a decent collection of reasonably priced food. Their private label products are quality, and significantly cheaper than the branded equivalents. The named brands are familiar known (like Guerrero Tortillas and Sun Vista beans) and good. I go there at least twice a week.

Conviniently located in a quiet residential neighborhood, "Smart and Final", true to its name, offers a comprehensive and stress-free grocery shopping. Parking on premises, only half block from a major traffic artery in Richmond District, - Geery Street, between 8th/entrance/ and 7th/exit/, street. Easily competing with more pretentious rivals like Costco, Trader Joe, and Safeway, "S@F" offers more agreeable prices and practical selection in variety and sizes of products, apparently due to many, many years of service to populus and private food vendors. Last visit, I bought a strainer for $5 and change, only half price anywhere, a place to go for your kitchen tools and supplies. Daily vegetable specials offered 50c, Haas avocado, I took ten, gave 2 to consierge in my building, 1 to my neighbor, and was set for avocados for whole week. Another special was a 1lb container if strawberries for 2$. Store has a huge selection in a frozen food department, ample selection of moderately priced Vines and very representative Beers choices . Space has high ceilings, well lit, staff is helpful, five Cash registers streaming shoppers nonstop with occasional wait in line for few minutes. It was fun.

Compact sized store easy access, has almost everything you would likely need and often has good specials on staple items like chicken, eggs,,,plenty of produce,
Prices are lower than Safeway and not too much higher than Foodsco or Bargain Market,
Efficient staff,

Always, and I do mean always, enjoy shopping there, great prices and I always check out the mark downs on the rack at the rear of the store. Chris, such a pleasant cashier they all are but he's out shines them all, and the manager Mark, never too busy to to answer customers ?ions........

I was able to get all the items I went to get. Will be going back to Smart & Final to pickup some Laundry Detergent and some Lysol Disinfect Spray. Thank You for all the services you all provide to Customers from
Smart & Final. God Bless

No line to enter. Store is not crowded today. Line to pay was 2 people ahead of me (very short) and the cashier (register 1) was great & friendly!

Like going early-ish, when the crowd seems lighter. Also, just want to give a high-five to all essential workers. We need you! Stay safe.

THIS location has to be one of the friendliest Smart & Finals I've ever been to!! Got everything I needed, and the deals were REALLY good!!

Love to shop locally. They carry most everything you need. Prices are also fair.

Good prices on items I needed. Fast, friendly check out. Ample handicapped parking. So glad I stopped there today.
