My mother was robbed at the HEB parking lot at Gulfgate. When I arrived to provide support I noticed at least three light posts were out. There was no security patrolling the parking lot. It was the darkest I've ever seen that parking lot in 20+ years of shopping there. It made me livid that this shopping center which houses million dollar companies can't get their lights running and provide a secure shopping environment. This! Is! WRONG! When we went to leave a young girl was walking to her car as my mother did by herself. We told her to be very careful walking to her car and what had just happened. Turned out she was an HEB partner and told us many other partners have complained about the lack of security for their very own employees. From now on we will no longer shop at Gulfgate/HEB. It makes no sense that while they've been remodeling the center for a few weeks to a month that they can't keep up with the lights. I have pictures of the parking lot and it clearly shows how dark it is. This is a breeding ground for robbers to take advantage of Christmas shoppers. One would expect security would've beefed up for the holiday season. Where is the appreciation for the loyal customers? My mother did NOT deserve to be assaulted. Now she must live with the fear and anxiety of doing something so simple as shopping. She is completely TRAUMATIZED!!

The layout of this HEB is unusual. Things can be hard to find. It is very busy and crowded. The cashier let my items get smashed by things because she was using a heavy box of trash bags to block the light for the automatic conveyor. I asked her 3 times to please be careful and not let my items get smashed. She snapped at me that I should not have put so much on the belt. Uhm... The box you refuse to move is the reason this is happening. I moved the box and handed it to her and said, see now, problem solved. Haha. She must have been having a rough day. Usually, the customer service is great. I have shopped here 3 times in the past few months and I am still learning where things are. I am glad there is an HEB close enough to get groceries. I like the selection and quality available at HEB. The HEB brand is good quality.

I did not go to this specific HEB but in general I love HEB for buying fruits and vegetables. They are usually less expensive and they also have some of the unusual things like guava and other tropical fruits for example. The store is clean and immaculate but you don't pay more for the fancy setting. It is also a good place to buy gasoline if you're not a member of Costco or Sam's club. I mainly buy fruits and vegetables there so I am not sure how it compares to other grocers in the other departments. They also have good sales (or I should say they had good sales before the supply chain disruption that we are in). I'm hoping they will go to having these sales after things get back to normal. If you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, this place is highly recommended.

  • Mrs

Always hear my family that lives in TX talk so highly of H.E.B but this store is not a good representation. Went here early evening to see what its all about. I was no impressed. The store had a weird smell and was in disarray. Walked around the area the hot food would be there was a puddle something red spilled and trailed across the floor while several employees stood chatting with the ones cleaning the hot tray. No caution sign around the mess and no one attempting to clean it up. The produce department was not appealing. I ended up leaving with nothing. Told my family and she had to go there herself to witness and said its not normally like this but I cannot get the experience out of my head.

  • Queen Catia

This area was the place to be in the late 50's and 60's. Then the Galleria opened in 1970 and everyone wanted to go there instead. Gulfgate held its own until the 90's when a very slow decline began to erode the entire area. Fortunately the HEB's, Pappa's BBQ, Dot's and other restaurants and stores remained open. With the city easing 610/45 access and the opening of several popular chain restaurants at Gulfgate this area is now booming! There is plenty of free parking, easy access, and great shopping here. You can also visit a doctor or dentist, get your hair cut, grab an ice cream, or enjoy a smoothie!

  • Thomas McK

KFC across from Gulfgate Mall. Now I remember why I don't go there. For the price, it would not be worth it if it was good. It was not good. I got a chicken breast. It was cooked in grease that was so old and used that the chicken was just about black on the outside. There was no point in getting another one because the next would be about the same. The people working there appeared to be just trying to get through the day and not trying to do a good job. In a word indifference.

  • IT'S ME FROM 713

This HEB is always out of stock of something. And for some reason the eggs are always broken. They had no cokes last time I went and that's primarily what I went for. Had to go to Family Dollar. This is the closest grocery store to me, so I have to settle for what they have. I've never had a problem with the customer service. It's always been great. It'd just be great if they kept the groceries in stock better.

  • Marlena Harris

Purchased live crawfish. Great price and size!! Was a little crowded but was pretty quick. They will be closed for Easter Sunday April 4, 2021. HEB staff are doing a live crawfish boil today (June 4, 2022). I'm not sure if it's just today or the hours. I stopped by around 10 am and they were packed. I was able to go in and do a quick shop (found everything I need/wanted) and was out in no time. June 21, 2023

  • Sis. Tolbert

Bought a broom at Home Depot. Blah...blah...blah. Totally uneventful. EXCEPT for 2 Cashiers at the checkout register talking to each other and using profanity as if I (the customer) was not standing there. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! That was in bad form and reflected back on the Management at that particular store. Speaking offensively in front of your customers isn't OK.

  • shondra

I used to love coming here to do my shopping but recently my experiences have not been great the staff seems to be prejudice and the store is not clean nor is the produce fresh. The store is always congested with so many people but the lines move quickly. I like coming because everything is conveniently located. There are so many stores in the same stopping center.

  • Mr. Garland

They have superb customer service and there are a lot of young people working there. They do a great job representing HEB. I felt comfortable shopping there and would recommend others to too. And did i forget to mention they have one of my favorite grow kits "Back To The Roots" It practically grows anything... And they have it at a great price. #2real4yall

  • La Vaquerita Estilo

Don't like that their is so many people at once here. It's almost like everyone calls each other and say let's all go!! Cops all around which is cool but at the same time I have to think about locking my truck doors and watching my purse. I just keep all my stuff home and carry only what I need. It's worth it though because its a great place to shop at.

  • Trailer Park Cutie-TPC

I would give this location zero stars if I could. Too much going on in the store, long checkout lines and the times I have gone there is an employee with braided hair that fills orders for curbside shopping who brings a rain cloud over my shopping experience with the negativity that emanates off of her. I make sure not to go there from now on.

  • MR “Al B”

Every time I’ve gone to this shopping center something is always going on. The parking lot is full of trash and even though there is always a constable or some kind of police in the parking lot, it is not safe. Be careful and watch your surroundings while visiting this area. A lot of people walking around and just watching the area.

  • Mark Salinas

I love H‑E‑B, unfortunately this location is really old and need some attention. Also the staff is not as helpful as I’d like. Especially when the pay rate has went up, I just expected the morale to go up as well, but it didn’t not! Get it together Gulfgate. Fresh produce, and good food ready to eat. Next to some good eats as well

  • G Landa (Gee Gee)

Had issues with employee add courtesy booth. She refused to exchange item as she said well once it's out the door its your pro6 it theirs. We are Regular customers there a d for that type of service I'm surprised they they have as .any people in and out buying food there. Someone needs to take a class on speaking with customers.

  • James Rice

Teahouse Tapioca & Tea opened on 1/18/2018 if you like tea & tapioca this is the place. Nice & clean just opened. They serve some food also but kind of limited. They have a nice sitting area they also have board games that can be checked out at the counter. Thanks for reading, clicking like is appreciated.

  • Keisha Martin

Way too crowded. Did I say crowded? The parking is crazy, cars everywhere cutting through to get to other nearby stores. This HEB location is one of my last resorts to go to. They also are a little limited on some of the products they sell compared to other HEB's.

  • Regina Garcia

HEB normally has fresh fruits and vegetables. And organic section. You are not at a loss for finding help. There is always someone in the fridge fruits and vegetable section turning over new product taken out the bad product it's a beautiful thing to see.

  • Jason Lozano

Lowes gave me the worst customer service. I had to wait 30 mins only to hear the item isn't in stock. The cashier, the shift leader and shift manager all failed on every level. Shop small hardware stores. The customer service is superior on every level.

  • Rebecca Swihart

Love this HEB. They are always stocked and clean. Great meat choices and prices!!! Perfect place for steaks. The jalapeno poppers are my all time favorite. Love that you can buy them already pre made ready to just pop in the tray and put in the oven.

  • Kenneth Bishop

This HEB store located at Gulf Gate Mall. Is one of the best super centers my wife and I go to do all our major grocery shopping. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The store is always cleaned and well stocked. Kenneth R. Bishop and family

  • Guadalupe Sanmiguel

I love shopping here. The food and prices are very good. Always organized and easy to find what I need. Employees are very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for anything from a light snack to all of your grocery list.

  • CeeCee Davis

It’s a clean & spacious grocery store, it’s they need to hirer more employees for those cash registers. It doesn’t make any sense to only have a few employees on the cashier’s machine. I would give it five if they highly trained more “cashiers”!

  • Claudia Ramon

The only thing that stops me from coming more often is the parking and the traffic by the entrance and exit. Drivers are just terrible and the parking lot has a weird design making it hard to find good parking and feel safe walking towards HEB.

  • Charlotte Pritchett

To crowded for my taste and a bit bigger than what I'm used to..... Lot's of folk's and lit up like a carnival, sure it has alot more to offer than what I went for but if that's your bag then head that way..... I'm sure its still there.. …

  • Darlene Gordon

I love this place because of all the stores and places to get something to eat. I like heb and it stays open till 11pm. They also sell gasoline so you can get everything there. There is Ross and Marshall's, Old navy ,Best buy and a lot more.

  • Connie Myers

Many stores to choose from. Love the employees at old navy. They are always understanding about why someone sent three of the same dress rather than the other two different dresses I actually ordered. Thanks and keep up the good work!

  • SC

this HEB has gone down like a good shrimp dinner. The meat is horrible. They don't keep certain items in stock or don't sell at all, I guess, because it's predominantly a Hispanic area. The store is dirty and super crowded. …

  • Leila Stone

Tbh, jts one of the best HEBs I've been to. My husband had never been and it was a fun experience. They had everything we needed too! Kroger goes out of stock quickly sometimes but HEB seems to always be in stock thank goodness!

  • World Of ICEETHON

This the "World Of ICEETHON" Google us and shop. I go to this HEB quite often. Has everything I need and the prices and store brands are acceptable. The meat is a tad high so I get everything I need and go to Fiesta for meat...

  • Cecil Valary

HEB is a nice quiet place where the workers are very friendly and willing to help. They don't play when you're waiting in line but the line move freely. Can't say I like the parking but that's with almost any shopping mall.

  • Angel C

Love my neighborhood HEB. Only wish it had more Prime beef selections. I have to go to another HEB in a more "influential" part of town to get my Prime steaks. FYI don't go on the 1st or 15th days of the month, trust me.

  • Bryan Frazer

The customer service for the pharmacy department is atrocious. All the staff are asinine And I fail to understand the reasoning for the things they do. This location needs to do better because the public deserves better.

  • Tisha R

Scariest HEB I've been to. Stopped by this location one night and some of the isles are closed off and you might bump into a few shady characters. My HEB is in the Atascocita area. These two locations are night and day!

  • B A

Be careful with this HEB. No Social Distancing. Very Crowded. I Left so quickly. I understand some people have to shop for groceries. Please go like early mornings or late evenings. Stay safe and always wear a Mask.

  • Christopher Thompson

I shop they're almost every week and definitely every month they always have what I need and I saved money when I shop Thanks HEB for being in the neighborhood and helping us provide for our kids and yours employees

  • juan gracia

This HEB is amazing. Highly recommend over Walmart. If you been to Walmart on wayside you know why. This HEB is well staffed well stocked and orderly. Easy to find help and the fresh market associates are wonderful

  • Janice Wright

Everything was good, but a few problems! No napkins were out in the dining area and the sausage wasn't good, the taste and toughness displeased me, The restaurant was very clean and the employees were exceptional!

  • tothineself betrue

Too many rude people that will run you over without saying excuse me no one there to help shoppers find items it just doesn't feel personalized with a lot of care and attention to detail I won't be going back

  • Cynthia Perez

I go to this HEB location bcus it's closest to my home if I hop on the freeway and I already know it from previous visits. They're always stocked for what I need at least. I've never had an incident here.

  • Aishia R

HEB and Doneraki are my go to places in Gulf gate shopping center after I get off work. Picking up groceries for the week and getting a bite to eat before I go home because I don't want to cook lol.

  • Sandra Wiles

I like going to the Gulfgate shopping strip, sometimes at night I don't feel safe.. Maybe they should add more security.. It's actually convenient and there are plenty of Shop's to visit..

  • Earline Jones

Had a great time at Chucky Cheese. The food was great the server's was excellent. And the young man at the door was aresome opening and holding the enter and exit doors a real gentlemen.

  • Edwin Velasquez

This place is a bit over priced on lots of items compared to other stores and almost all the time the fruit looks better than it taste fresh isn't always ripe for these people ! …

  • Lilia Millan

Busy business center from grocery shopping to eating pizza or enjoying some ice cream . You will find them here. Too many shopping and restaurants to mention. …

  • Mama Consuelo

Has a little bit of everything and memories from decades past. Shoe Carnival is great, don't leave without checking the sales racks in the rear of the store.

  • Timothy Van De Walle

Selection is better than some other stores, but not as good as other HEB locations. Price of the sushi is a bit high. Plenty cashiers to make checkout fast.

  • Thomas Davila

We ride bikes to this location. They let us rest in the lott. We go in and buy everything possible. Very cool staff. We are 200-500 bikes when we pull up!

  • Ellis Ottaway

Always go here to get ice cream, hebs "Swoon" brand is the BEST ice cream ever. Their "Creamy Creations" is the next best thing ice cream - wise.

Love the new place.. everyone is so nice and attentive.. food is absolutely delicious and is better than other Olive Garden I have been to.

  • Ann Souzies

I went to ROSS. I like this store. Lots of good finds at bargain prices. It’s like a candy store. You never know what bargains you’ll find.

  • Tim Smith (Thraeryn)

Gulfgate is the best (and only) shopping center near my neighborhood. The HEB is okay, there's a Sally Beauty, and many other decent shops.

  • Tamara L. Bayson

Had to get an oil change for my car. The staff was very friendly and timely. I arrived at 8:30 am and service was completed in 45 minutes.

  • Kateria Wesley

It's giving Fiesta flea market. They don't have a variation of items. The traffic around it is horrible. People can not drive in that area

  • LaLa

The only HEB in the city with a wedding/special occasion cake designer. My daughters 3 tier cake(feeds 100) was only $120. A steal!

  • G. Davis

Newly updated, a super wide variety of merchandise to shop. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A great satisfying experience.

  • Veronica Pinki Moore

Stopped to get a watermelon for my grandchildren and as always, I spent more than I wanted. HEB had good selections on all foods

  • Robert Kindred

Unusable bike rack at HEB. I have argued with employees that don't know what a bike rack is. Good thing Kroger is not far away.
