H-E-B Foods

This is for the HEB down in Buda next to Cabela’s.
Okay. What to say. If you like your fresh fruit and vegetables soft and mushy for easier consumption, then this is your place.
If you want your choices limited to cut down on shopping time, then you’ll really enjoy the empty shelves that keep you right on moving.
This isn’t the worst HEB I’ve hit in the Austin area, but it’s way down the list of HEBs I’d hit if I had to put in on a list.
Assets — when I go to Cabela’s (which isn’t often, but it happens), it’s right there, so instead of hitting the Hell that is any HEB in Austin, I can quickly walk in, grab a couple things I need, and get the heck out. Plus, you can get cheap gas right out front. Plus, Sonic is right down the road so you can get a Route 44 unsweet ice tea to drink while you drive the half hour home. Half hour ride? Made much easier thanks to the easy access to Tollway 45 and 130.
Notice, all the assets are external to the actual store. Location, location, location.
If I’m making a trip to or from San Antonio, I’d definitely hit another HEB if any sort of produce or specialty item is on my list. If I’m at Cabela’s and realize I need standard items, it’s a quick and easy in and out, something other HEBs are not, and then I can be quickly on my way.

This store is a nightmare! I teach close by so the location is convenient but that’s about it. I’m told everything you could ever want is in that store but you can’t find anything. It’s so bad they literally have an 8 ½″ x 11″ magazine type thing to give you to try and help you find stuff. You can’t find anyone to help you as there are not enough employees in the store. The worst, and most frustrating aspect is the ridiculous time it takes to check out. Express is anything but… you are better off getting behind the red neck buying a months worth of groceries.
I’ve gone by here 4 – 5 trips to «run by» and grab items on the way home only to spend no less than 30 – 40 min getting three small items. Target is across the street and has everything you’ll ever need, clean, well organized, easy to navigate and quick check out. If you are determined to go to an HEB go to the one at Brodie and William Cannon, in Austin. They are well staffed and layed out much better.

This store is amazing, I will be going to this store more often. No more fighting to crowd or shopping a store that confused me countless times out at the Kyle HEB Plus. The Buda HEB is so much nicer to shop it isn’t as big of course but less traffic, friendly people, better service.

When you need groceries, but you don’t want to take on the sprawling Kyle HEB Plus — its vast expanses swarming with people climbing over each other like army ants — there’s the Buda HEB.
It’s got a decent selection, packed into what ends up being a smaller-​than-​expected space, considering the neighborhood (Cabela’s, Super Wal-​Mart). Yet, when looking for something specific, you really may not find it, as the selection definitely has its limits.
But before you think you’ve got this HEB figured out, it’s stocked with scores of random and semi-​specialty items you cannot get at HEB +. So you really have to shop both stores. Well played, HEB.

I came here expecting to find Errol M. perusing the frozen foods section but was sadly disappointed not to find him there. This HEB is one of the smaller ones, much like the SOCO & Oltorf location was before the remodel they did some years back. That being said they have a good selection packed into a small area. Their produce department is ample at the very least, well suited for me since most of what I buy is fruits and veggies. It’s never too busy to get in & out in a hurry, which is my favorite thing about this HEB. They have a little «10-​item or less» express lane beside the produce section, sort of set off by itself, that almost never backs up. Basically what I’m saying is that I think Errol M. would approve, and he’s currently the leading HEB authority for the entire Austin area. Therefore I approve as well.
