The Texas age-old question, what the heck does that stand for of which there are 2 theories. First, it's the founders initials and the other theory it stands for Here Everything's Better. Regardless of the what it stands for, HEB on 183 in Leander is a great grocery store to make the majority of your purchases. Now people should realize with all conveniences come drawbacks. HEB is huge, probably the largest freestanding grocery store I've been to and having lived in 5 different states, that's saying something. So, you need to zip in and grab an onion at 11am? Well guess what, you'll be parking downtown! Ok I'm being hyperbolic to amuse myself. But then comes the lines, even the self-checkout, always the lines. Why is it busy at 9am on Weds? My final gripe is more of a question, do people really buy fake jewelry, non-sports clothing, etc at a grocery store? To me it's overkill as I just want groceries, but I'm a small voice in a big state. Ok now I'd like to make my observations about food. The Asian grill is decent! If you nab it straight off of the flattop it's better than average but good luck with that. While some I talk to like their sushi, I don't and every time I get it, I don't exactly enjoy it, but my girlfriend does. I would like to see a sandwich shop plopped right there where you get freshly shaved meats. Think about it "Fresh Boarshead subs!" They do it at Publix in the south so just a suggestion. The other meals you can purchase there are decent, such as soups, salads, etc. As for groceries they have a rather large and diverse selection other than produce. The mushroom selection is sparse. Want to pick up some woodear, loose shiitake, Oyster, Enoki, etc? Not here my dear, although they do have shitake packaged. I've hunted for exotic fruits such as dragon fruit, Buddha's hand, Star fruit etc but it's there on odd occasions which I can't figure out. Otherwise they carry the standard fair which is more in bulk than variety. I will say I'm impressed with the seafood selection. Scanning the isle and see mahi, grouper, catfish (yuck), salmon, etc. I bought the mahi and it was very good, not old or stale at all. The best thing, is this is just a small portion of what they have. As for beef, lamb, chicken etc no need to spend to much time as they have the best selection I've seen in a store. Chances are they have what you need. My overall assessment of HEB is it works well for it's target group, middle class Texas family looking for good prices on food that is pretty standard with having some "elegances" spread out enough to allow those who are adventurous to try something new. The shelves are well stocked, the environment clean and safe, and house made items such as breads, tortillas, soups, etc are very well crafted. My only issues are small for a big place, parking and checkout. Otherwise HEB is a good grocery store for the masses.

They always have what I want at decent prices. They keep they electric carts charged up and are kind about helping.

New store in the area. Very well maintained. Staff is friendly. Vegetables and fruits are always fresh. Our go-to place to buy vegetables and groceries.

Just an observation about the HEB frozen broccoli florets, you also get a lot of stems, Walmart florets don't have stems in it.

Had a horrible experience with cashier Nisa. She was like how many waters do you have and I said not sure my daughter put them in and she goes " well she's not saying anything " rudely . My daughter is deaf of course she's not answering you . The point is you don't have to be rude it's your job to scan the items in the first place whether or not someone can give you the amount of items they have . Then she proceeded to tell me how her church offered sign language and she's just too old to learn . Again disrespectful for the deaf community . This is why I will now only go to self checkout . Don't need this at a grocery store .

Truly a huge store. We can find everything we need in one place. But it's always crowded. I have a hard time with that
