Smart & Final Extra! is a full-service warehouse grocery store located in a convenient shopping center. It offers a little of everything, including groceries, supplies, produce, fresh meat, frozen foods, dairy, and deli items, with large portions available. The store is noted for being sparking clean and usually well-stocked, with employees described as pleasant, helpful, and caring. Shoppers can find some bargains and competitive produce prices on select items, though prices are generally good but not the best, and some items are high, requiring selectivity. The produce department is always being cleaned and the fruit and vegetables look great, though some reviews note the vegetables and fruit do not last and are of very poor quality, going bad quickly. Checkout lines are usually short, but there can be a longish wait, especially on Sunday afternoons. The store provides bagging service for customers.

This is the Smart & final in santee. I always come here because it's really close to my house. They're always very welcoming and they get five stars because they let me come in when it was 9: 58pm even though they closed at 10: 00pm. I really appreciate them doing that for me. That shows a good level of customer service.
