Harris Teeter

I usually come here every month but stopped going after I went to the salad bar and came back with very old, disgusting and smelly chicken salad! It was so spoiled. Very disappointed and glad I didn’t get sick afterwards.

I go here almost everyday. The produce is great, meat dept decent sized & good quality, and lots of sale items every week. This is not the mega store like its near by competitors Giant & Wegman’s, but its super convenient, easy to get and out, and I am pretty sure their prices are at or below any other their competitors.

I was bummed that the nearest Whole Foods was in Fairfax but the sadness disappeared when I walked into this store!
At first, I was only looking to buy orange juice because I wasn’t feeling well but zeroed in on the deli part of the store. I ordered their grilled chicken and kale salad, which was delicious!
The store is a perfect location especially for anyone who is staying at the National Conference Center and looking to stock up on snacks, toiletries or drinks.
The produce is fresh, the ready-​made food and/​or meals all looks delicious and the store has pretty much anything you need that you can buy at a grocery store.
The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and their store card is free to sign-​up for discounts!
Recommendation: Yes!

Awesome store! Always clean and great staff.

This Harris Teeter is just as good as other HT’s in the area. It is clean, well stocked, the prices are good, the produce is fresh, and the bakery and meats section are good as well. The staff isn’t always the best, but they are never rude, but you do have to watch how your groceries are bagged.

Nearly every encounter that I’ve had at this store with associates have been positive. They go out of the way for special requests or special needs. For example, if you have kids with you, or are pregnant, or just look like you could physically use some extra help, they ALWAYS offer to help you to your car. There are usually some treats to snack on near the deli. And balloons for the kids at the service desk (although, sometimes you have to ask.)
I have always found the produce to be very good at this store. I can always count on finding good stuff for parties or holiday gatherings. This is also my go-​to place for fish in Leesburg.
My only real complaint is that when sales are really good, some of the best stuff gets cleared off the shelves. The shelves aren’t restocked fast enough. Either that, or they aren’t tagging the out-​of-​stock items so that customers know. I’ve come in on the second or third day of a sale to find half the items I wanted to buy are completely gone.

This is my go-​to grocery store for day-​to-​day shopping. The produce is always fresh, the VIC specials are fantastic (if you plan it right, sometimes it’s buy 2 get 3 free…), and the meat counter usually has a nice offering of grill-​ready burgers and kabobs.
I’ve had a few instances over the past 2 years where I’ve contacted store management (salad bar not open when it was supposed to be, salad bar items not replenished or looking not so fresh), and they’ve been nothing but kind. What’s even more impressive is that they’ve called to follow-​up on the issue to see if I’ve noted a difference (and yes, all times the issue has been immediately rectified).
Even during high-​volume times, there seems to be an abundance of cashiers, and if you happen to hit the busiest part of the day, the wait isn’t too bad.
They also have the best paper bags… handles and all… and are great to keep around the house for any of your toating needs.
Try the drive-​thru. You place your order online, pick your time frame for pickup and ring a button upon arrival. I use this mostly for huge party-​type orders around the hoiday’s. No, I’m not THAT lazy, but how much is your time worth?
