Safeway

I go here all the ti. e the staff is friendly and it’s us ally always stocked. If they can do anything it would be great if I had more cashiers available

Really nice size Safeway and a great produce section. I often shop at various Safeway’s and I am struck by one thing… for SOME reason (can’t put my finger on it) the stores don’t flow or make sense. Idk what it is. Will it stop me from shopping? No. I love Safeway. But I’ll be darn if I just wander up n down the isles usually. It also doesn’t hurt that I can satisfy my shopping fix with a Ross, Marshals, and Bed Bath & Beyond in the same plaza. Trader joes is right across 7 but I’ve never gone.

I am always pleased with this safeway. ITs clean and stocked. My only request is to have people to check you out when done. The freh fruit and vegtable section is nice. I alway enjoy the floral section too. We have been a loyal shopper for voer 15 years.

This is the slowest grocery store I have ever been to. There is no one around to help and checking out is a nightmare. They constantly make mistakes and are super slow.

One word, Monsanto. There were no seeds in my red apples. I am use to seeds in my apples and always ate apples with the seeds as a child. It was a cloned apple so I question their produce. I will go to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods for apples. Hopefully they have seeds in their apples. Also, the lines are the worst although they have do it yourself lines open in the daytime. The new Safeway down the street on King St. is better. I WANT SEEDS IN MY APPLES!

This was my first experience. Visiting and my family brought me there. It’s different from Kroger but I liked it. Great wine selection and cheese selection :) it was smaller than what I would have thought. But I’m coming from Texas and everything is bigger there.

This place is staffed by some of the trashiest, most incompetent people I’ve ever seen. I’m all for giving the homeless a hand up, but they need to wash before they come to work.
Also, their freezer broke and it took forever to get it fixed so for about a week you couldn’t buy any frozen foods — FAIL!

I had high hopes for this store after 2 yrs of renovations — same crappy food– awful awful checkout lines — ill not be returning — not to mention no employees around anywhere visible– back to teeter for me

This is one of the huge Safeway’s and really nice.
Pretty decent produce section, everything is fresh — most of the times. The bakery and wine sections are impressive.

This Safeway is OK. Its the largest one in the area and thus usually has the best selection. The produce is usually better quality than other nearby locations and I like the extensive bakery and deli sections.
But its scarce on employees working the floor. Most of the time when I’ve had a question I’ve either had to go to the front to find someone or just leave the store and go elsewhere for what I was looking for.

Can I get a cashier open please?
Seafood needs to be checked each shift as marking the sell by date warns you do not buy on this day.
Rule of thumb fish if it smells is bad and should not be sold.
Prices are high for the area so you need to shop around and check your prices. If the service was better you could accept a hogher cost but this is not thecase. Wilston is a better operation and BradLee sets the standard for Safeway in this area.

Floors in every aisle i visited were FILTHY — AND you could SMELL the stench in the bathrooms before you went in! FORGET about this place — I left without buying anything and never returned.

This review is for both the store and the Starbucks inside. The produce at this store never seems fresh, I have a hard time finding decent fruit/​vegetables here. I prefer the produce at Harris Teeter because it is fresh. Also, the store seems dingy.
I do not like the Starbucks inside the store. Last time I came here, I ordered a vanilla bean latte (which I ordered sooo many times at Starbucks at other locations) and it did NOT taste good. It was so bitter.

Definitely my closest go-​to grocery store in the area. Getting to their lot can be a bit maddening on the weekends, but perfect for a quick stop during the night.
Safeway really turned things around with their remodels over the years, and this one is no exception. Very clean, the staff was super helpful when I was looking for some sort of pastry that the girlfriend needed, which I swore didn’t exist.

Really, really hate this store. It never has anything in stock. The produce is not good. The employees don’t speak English (which I don’t mind except that I usually have to ask where things are becase the store is laid out horribly). Went on a Sunday and it took over a half hour to check out. The cashier said they’ve asked the manager to hire more staff but he won’t. I complained to him and he just shrugged an didn’t respond. I quit using Safeway for good.

I was surprised by the amount of services available at this Safeway… A large deli, a Starbucks, a floral shop, dry cleaning, photo processing, Suntrust, and a liquor section. Now, I originally went in looking for laundry items but I was like moth to a flame and I was probably walking up & down the aisles saying «wow» and beaming like a moron. Oh well.
The cashier was friendly and made jokes while I checked out. He even took the time to help me enroll in the frequent shopper — whatcha ma call it thing. The other perk? Ample free parking. Yes. Free.

Pretty clean, quick checkout. I found what I needed. Bf wished there was a better selection for energy/​protein bars. All in all, we got what we needed and were out in under 10 minutes.

This only merits the three stars due to proximity to other shopping, i.e. blockbuster, trader joe’s and borders are right next door.
Parking wasn’t a problem at all on a sunday morning.
For being in a newer building, this place seemed a bit rundown. The deli is pretty terrible. If I’m paying deli prices, I want you to carve the meat in front of me, not pull it from a pre-​carved pile. Also, they only carried most toilet paper brands in packs of 12 rolls or more… annoying. I am only one person living in a one bedroom apartment, I have no need or storage for 12 rolls at once.
I won’t be back unless I’m running other errands in the area and desperately need to buy something.

This is definitely one of the better Safeways in the area, but it can be a pain in the *** to find parking. Its located in the same plaza as Old Navy, AC Moore, Borders, Marshalls, etc. so it can be very crowded at times. The last time I came here, they were also very low on bread and produce. Looks like a lot of diplomats frequent this location as well (but that may very well be all of DC area)

This is not only the biggest Safeway I’ve been to but the best in the area. It’s a fully loaded Safeway with the following departments: Deli, Bakery, Pharmacy, Starbucks, Floral, Dry Clean, Liquor, Produce, SunTrust Bank, Photo. They have one of the freshest produce you can find. As a Safeway club member, you’ll be racking in the discounts. I end up saving more here compared to shopping at Giant’s and Harris Teeter. The sushi is a steal too. For less than $ 5, I get 12 pieces of Smoked Salmon rolls. Add some cream cheese to it and you’ll have your own Philadelphia rolls.
This Safeway also has selections you won’t be able to find in many places such as sourdough bread and italian dry salame (not genoa salame). You can also get a big XL pizza for cheap on Fridays. $ 5 for a cheese at least 18″ in size. It’s huge. If you’ve seen the size of Costco’s pizza, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Currently, they have samples available due to a recent grand re-​opening. Shop here. You won’t be disappointed.
