Smith’s Food & Drug Centers

I love this location but their cooler that houses the chopped fruit, yogurts and fruit juices is almost 60 degrees. Nothing is cold. It was like that last week and same today. Shouldn’t temps be below 45 or 40 degrees? Hope someone doesn’t get sick. One is 54 degree the other is 58 degrees. Not sure but that’s not safe.

This is one of my backup locations for Smiths. If I’m in the area and need something quick, they will have it.
The Smith’s grocery store chain is one I tend to frequent. This store isn’t set up like my usual store but it’s not hard to find what I need. Produce seems fresh and items I shop for are well stocked. Even though their health food/​organic section is limited, it’s just enough for what i need.
So when in need…

This is actually a pretty nice Smith’s. It’s all clean and orderly and things are actually in stock and where they are supposed to be. The produce section is nice. The self-​checkout scanners actually work. It’s far better than really any other Smith’s I’ve been in. They have a large selection of dessert and pastry items. So hooray for that!

I used to love shopping here at this specific Smith’s. Customer service used to be great nowadays not so much. Many of the employees here just do not seem happy nor want to be there. Today specifically there was no cashiers open only the self checkout stations were open and they were all being used not to mention the line was backed up big time. Fat ass store manager walking around and no attempt to even get on a cash register to help check people out so they can get on with their day… unbelievable! Also when you check out keep an eye on the prices. I noticed today that the red grapes that were supposed to be on sale for .98 cents per pound were ringing up at $ 2.98 per lb. I think I’ll be going to another store for my groceries from now on.

This is a very big and clean store. It’s always busy and the parking lot is a pain in the rump at times. The lines are normally fairly short, maybe 2 or 3 times they needed to open another register and eventually did. I mostly come to Smith’s for my meats because they are fresh and they do have some good prices. Recently the Smith’s chain has become less shopper friendly offering bigger sales prices for digital coupons in addition to requiring you to use their store card so they can track your shopping habits. I must admit though, they do send us coupons in the mail occasionally for several free items which is awesome. But back to those digital coupons! Please do away with them. I seriously don’t mind using the card, but really, I don’t need a part time job logging into their web site and figuring out what coupons I need to get. The one time I did it, it didn’t work anyway. I had downloaded these digital coupons to my Smith’s card (supposedly) but when I checked out, I definitely didn’t get the digital discounts. So now I just look at their ads and think, mmm too bad that’s a digital (fake) price or I would go there instead of Albertsons, lol. Anyway, you still get 4 stars for a nice store and good meat deals.

I just want to thank the woman who helped me at self check out literally five minutes ago. My card wouldn’t go through to buy diapers and she saved my day and helped me by buying them. Thank you so much. There are still good people out there. I appreciate it more than you know!!! You are an amazing person!

Our go-​to store. Always good prices and selection. Very friendly workers are there.

The pharmacy at this location is the best! They are always helpful even/​especially when my insurance company is being difficult. They are patient and kind. They always remember me. The manager is fabulous and it shows through in the rest of the team. Even if I moved to the other side of town I would make a trek to continue using this pharmacy.

This location seems like one of their older stores but they never disappoint. I work near this store so I run in at lunch or after work if I’m in desperate need of something. Even during busy times I always get in and out quickly. The sushi department is always fresh and have lots to choose from.
The staff is friendly and helpful. Well stocked store. Nice produce.
I will continue to shop here.

This is my favorite store in town. Food is always fresh and if the fruits/​vegetables are just a little past their prime (not rotten, like some other store in town) they sell it at a discounted price. We save a lot of money buying this way. I have to give out a special shout-​out to the wonderful people who work in the pharmacy. Sal, John and Lori are all so friendly and compassionate. I get all my prescriptions filled there and I always feel like I’m talking with friends.

Excellent deli!
Love the fact that they sell Boar’s Head meat. Excellent quality. The staff at the deli has always provided top notch service. They always provide a sample of sliced meat and cheese to make sure that it is the proper cut.
Their bakery breads and rolls are fresh and flavorful as well. I like that this store offers self checkout. Some self checkout registers are for just a few items, while others allow for quite a few bags. There is always an attendant if you need help.

This is the closest grocery store to my house. I like it. It’s always very clean and everyone is very friendly to me. I even asked the produce guy to help me find a good watermelon and he gave me a full demonstration, it was quite funny and the melon was sweet! The only downfall is the parking lot is too small — crowded and tight; clean though. There is a Starbucks inside and a bank, sorry I forgot what bank but it’s not Wells or BoA. I also like this store because of their extensive wine selection.

Decent enough store, but the manager Adriana has THE worst customer service skills I have seen in my 33 years in Vegas. She is so beyond rude you need another word for rude. And for some reason I always seem to have to deal with her when I go to this location. Not fun.
The checkers however are friendly and my usual request for double bags doesn’t get me a snotty look, so I appreciate that.
Nice produce department. Love their Friday Freebies but they should stock up more on them. I’ve gone on Friday some weeks and they are already out, or very limited.
Clean store, and nice sale ads.

This is always my go to store. The store is well-​kept and clean. Always plenty of employees working at once. employees are always happy to help me when I need to find something or simply have a question. Recently they did remodels and the place is very nice. They have a full isle of organic and health foods which is amazing to not have to search through Isles for these things.
The pharmacy has also been remodeled and is fast and friendly. The pharmacy truly has exceptional customer service.

Someone else here said that it’s a grocery store. Nothing more. Nothing less. However, I disagree, places like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, and (yuck) Fresh & Easy have upped the ante. Grocery shopping is no longer what is was in 1977… people want organic, free range, grass fed non GMO food. This Smiths is better than most, not as good as some (I prefer the Valle Verde/​215 store, great wine selection!), it’s okay n a pinch. Why the 3 stars? It has an «odor» to it. Perhaps that is why I feel the need to get in, get out, and NOT linger. It’s okay. Get rid of that scent, add to the wine/​cheese selection and that would be an improvement.

This location has gone through a complete overhaul. It looks fantastic in here now! I feel so comfortable shopping here. So clean, neat, organized and high class. A far cry from what it used to look like. The produce section looks amazing now with the laminate flooring and reorganization. The new signs and fresh coat of paint throughout the store, inside and out, make it look like an entirely different store. It’s absolutely beautiful and a pleasure to shop now. I will be back more often.
Now for the bad news. I guess they had to pay for the upgrade somehow. Certain items here are WAY OVERPRICED now! Wow!!! Vegetarian frozen food is jacked up way high, and so were other items. Ridiculous! But their sale items cannot be beat. Can’t wait until enough suckers buy these newly overpriced items to offset the cost of the overhaul so that they can return to their normal, decent prices.

Since moving we’ve really come to miss this Smith’s. We had been coming here for 2 years before moving. They just recently remodeled and it looks so amazing! They really did a great job. The new sushi section looks great. All the workers at this Smith’s are so friendly and helpful. This is way different in comparison to any other Smith’s I’ve been to. I love the sushi chef at this location too. He’s so helpful when it comes to picking your sushi. We really wish we still lived on this side of town b/​c you don’t know how good you have it until it’s gone. Now we have another Smith’s near our new home downtown but it’s just not the same and the Albertson’s near us is the worst!
We really like the organic meat section at Smith’s which is non-​existent in Albertson’s. They also have a growing natural section that after the remodel has become an entire aisle.
Their fruits and vegetables also appear to be if a better caliber than most other markets.

It’s a grocery store. Nothing more, nothing less. I used to shop at the Albertsons on green valley but switched because the service is a little better and it’s a little closer to where I live. The layout of the store is a little weird at first, but after you get used to it, it’s not to bad. I liked Albertons layout better. The prices are pretty standard and the service is okay.
One big thing that I love about the place is near the fruit section there is a little enclave of various things that are a «you get whatever quantity you like.» I get my brown rice exclusively from there. They also have candy, fresh peanut butter, agave, granola, etc. and plenty of different containers to put them in. That is my favorite part.
Their «fresh meat» section is less than desirable and I don’t trust it in the least. A lot of the time, the meat looks like it has been sitting out for awhile. blech.

I do not live close to the store by any means. I am only a few blocks from Albertson’s but I would never go there, not for only one item needed in desperation. Smiths on the other hand is worth the trip. A friendly clean store that is easy to navigate. They always have what I need and their prices are very reasonable.

Smiths remain my favorite of the big three as they have the best meat quality and selection and the deli counter cuts larger slices and has better tasting cold cuts. This Smiths is very clean and the staff is helpful and friendly, even when you have to send something back for a price correction, holding up the whole line.
There is rarely a wait at the registers lasting longer than 5 – 10 minutes and you can self checkout.
The store layout actually makes sense. They usually have product samplers out at night and on weekends and they have a wine guy sampling wine and even offering samples.
I only wish the pricing was consistently better. Like all supermarket chains they have sales that change regularly and sometimes have great deals but when an item is not marked down, it tends to be more costly than the same item at other stores.
