Harris Teeter

The store itself is fine, other than kind of a weird set-​up, but it gets super crowded and parking is TERRIBLE! Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of other grocery stores right in that area though.

This place advertises itself as open 24 hours but they frequently close for blocks of time. They do it for inventory and while I understand it’s necessary to do this occasionally, it seems like they do it way too often. In the year since I started shopping here, I can remember at least three times they’ve been closed. Since I’m certainly not shopping everyday, the odds are low that I’ve somehow managed to hit all of their inventory days and this I imagine they close even more frequently than I realize. Granted, they do this during less popular shopping times but when they do it, they usually remain closed until 8 am which isn’t even all that early. I prefer doing my shopping early in the morning since this HT is always mobbed. At the very least, I wish they’d post signs in advance warning customers when they’re going to close so I don’t waste my time.

I love my Local Harris Teeters! I get greeted all the time and they are so friendly. Yes, it does get crowded but I like the smiles I receive when I’m shopping. Very helpful staff :)

Harris Teeter usually has some good prices, and is definitely easy to navigate and is definitely convenient if you need to get something late… Plus, there is a Starbucks in the Store which is convenient for those that need their dose of Frescas, Coffee, or Smoothies… The staff is definitely courteous and well trained. I would recommend this store to anyone that needs a good grocery store…

Great store! Nice and friendly staff!

Harris Teeter has nice stores, but the prices are way too high. Many things cost 40−60% more than you can buy them for at other stores. I generally do not shop here anymore if I can help it.

I had been familiar with the «teet» since I was born and it had always been a primary goal of mine, as a male, to one day get back to it. On an exploration trip into Raleigh about 18 months ago, we hit up the flagship places like The Pit and J. Betski’s for dinner but the experience that made my decision easier to call the dirty south home was a tour around the aisles of Harris Teeter.
On average, prices were approximately 30−40% cheaper than what I was accustomed to in NYC and to someone with a Jewish family, getting the cheapest deal at the best price is exactly the types of conversation that dominate dinner table chatter at holiday season.
The last time I saw my brother after not seeing him for 4 months, the first thing he told me was how he saved $ 200 on a dryer from its sale price. He was super proud of this, for him I think it overtook beating the new Zelda game on 3DS as his greatest accomplishment over the past 12 months. My mom will tell me about her steals at the dollar store and our house isn’t the same unless every time I come home to NY there isn’t another 5 tchotchke’s picked up at a garage sale that we negotiated lower by over 50%.
So price is important and Harris Teeter delivered value in spades. It wasn’t surprising, I’d say that is the trend when you compare NYC to NC supermarket prices or NYC to anywhere on a cost-​of-​living basis.
There are definitely plenty of competitors in the area (Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, new Publix in Cary) but this is the store we have been doing our Sunday shop at since we moved down. I actually switched it up last week to the new Publix store and concluded I liked Teeter a little better although there are strengths and weaknesses to each. For example, the bakery section in Publix is much higher quality to me than Teeter, but I wasn’t a fan of the layout of the store and thin aisles.
I find if you are smart and take advantage of the sales with your Vic Card you will find some sweet deals. The deli and meat sections are built out well and the layout of the store makes sense, I swear that isn’t because I’ve done hundreds of laps over the past year and change. The sandwiches and salad bar are great and relatively inexpensive as well. In most cases they are better than what you would get at a dedicated fast-​casual restaurant like Carolina Café.
As more residents move into the area and new complexes, expect the already tight parking lot to become even more of a flashback to the rush-​hour traffic you drove home from earlier in the evening. Your best bet is to shop early on Sunday (G-d’s day is a blessing for the Jews down here as well) or go later on since it is 24 hours. Self-​checkout is also super convenient.

I love my local Harris Teeter. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The stock is also VERY well replenished, and if not, they offer substitutions on the spot! My best time to go to avoid the crowds (but you are a working professional like me!) is Sunday morning. Everything is nicely restocked from Saturday and the rotisserie chickens go out around 10 AM.
Sign up for E-​Vics and don’t scoff at the store brand and this grocery is easily affordable for everyone.

Good location for those that live downtown and worth it for a quick trip to buy a couple things. However, worst customer service I’ve ever experienced at a grocery store. Way overpriced, even for HT. Too crowded and parking is small. You need to go at an off time for it to not be busy. Too many obnoxious college students as well. Also, the shelves routinely run out of stock and there’s not a big selection of anything. Store layout is bizarre. Definitely a forgettable place. I’d rather drive to find a Kroger.

I try to avoid this grocery store if at all possible. It is seriously over priced and way too crowded for such a small store. It is one of the more convenient grocery stores to downtown, but it is not a conventional set up. With the ever growing population in Cameron Village this place will soon become troublesome for the quick in and out shopper.
The parking lot is it’s own beast. Good luck with the dynamics of a tiny lot and an overwhelming amount of cars.
The plus side is there are no bays so people are forced to return carts to their proper place. There is curbside service for those who wish to skip the shopping for their groceries.
This small Teeter services not only the surrounding neighborhoods, but the college as well. I prefer to drive the extra miles to a larger and more mature atmosphere, if you know what I’m saying. I don’t have my parent’s credit card to stock up on bud light and Tony’s for the weekend (which you will pay top dollar for). I’m just not a fan.

Wow… I’ve never been to such a bad Harris teeter. Horrendous customer service, poorly stocked shelves and flies all over the produce section. The employees look miserable and take their dissatisfaction with their jobs out on the customers. Poor management is surely to blame.

No parking!
Too bad there’s no parking because when I can get in here it’s a great store with excellent service. But no parking ever — not even at 7 am on Sunday or 11pm on a weekday. Is the Krogers open yet on MLK and Raleigh Blvd? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

This Harris Teeter doesn’t have the pizza bar! Whyyyy?
Otherwise, clean, organized, everything you can expect from Harris Teeter.

This «Teet» is the closest supermarket for many of us living in downtown Raleigh. Personally, I venture way up to Trader Joe’s for most of my groceries. But, I will visit this location occasionally due to the convenience.
Like most Teeters, this one is very clean and well-​maintained. I have never noticed any past expiration dates, and I can always find everything I am looking for. The big negative is the parking lot, which is full of chaos. It’s possibly worse than the Whole Foods parking lot on Wade Ave., and it will only get worse when all of these new apartments are finished on Oberlin and downtown.
Bonus for single men: put on some nice clothes and go shopping on Sunday night. You may find a date near the produce!

This location is convenient and compact, but for some reason it’s always a bit dirty, especially in the floral and fruit/​vegetable sections. Weird! Guess it’s because of the water but I’ve been to plenty of Harris Teeters that do not have this issue.

Walking distance for me, so yes, I do come here often…
Good sushi, decent pre-​prepared meals, good breads, cheeses, veggies. Good selection throughout the store, overall, and having a Starbucks is always a plus!
The parking situation can be dicey at times, so if you’re close enough to walk, do everyone a favor and get the exercise!

Fan of the ambiance and selection, but no no for the price! :’-(
For those who are from CA, HT is the NC equivalent of Vons or Ralphs back there. For folks from MA, this is a much better version of Stop and Shop or Shaws. MUCH MUCH BETTER.

This Harris Teeter has a great location at Cameron Village, close to a ton of other stores, so you can get everything done in one area. I go here a couple of times a week and they seem to have a constant stock of everything I need and are open 24 hours.
The salad bar has plenty of offerings, but I’d stay away from the croutons. They were more chewy-​stale than crunchy-stale…probably just left out a little too long.
The parking is adequate during the weekdays, but during rush hour and the weekends, it can be difficult to find a spot. This doesn’t bother me too much, as I really don’t mind walking a little further.

I live in downtown Raleigh and I often get the question «where do you get your groceries?». The answer is easy… Harris Teeter, of course. It is my preferred large chain supermarket and I’m very pleased that there is one located close by in Cameron Village.

Whenever out of state visitors check out Harris Teeter, they’re always surprised at the name. Yeah, yeah, it’s rough having a name that sounds like a body part! But who cares, Harris Teeter is the best grocery store in NC until Wegmans or Publix shows up. The Cameron Village location is one of the busier ones I’ve been to since there aren’t many ITB. And you get all types here: office workers, young professionals, State kids and the occasional tottering grandma! So I agree with Brian, it’s always good for people-​watching.
Update: Sunday afternoon/​evening seems to be a great time to visit if you’re a hetero male…
The layout is standard supermarket, all the veggies, dairy and frozen round the edges and the dry staples in the middle. This location has a nice cheese section and prepared foods section. Can’t beat a rotisserie chicken for $ 4.99 and there’s even a sushi bar! The produce section is pretty deep and typically has some good local offerings. There’s even a nice wine section, though I can’t vouch for the prices.
Cashiers are well-​trained and professional, Harris Teeter always does a nice service-​wise. And the 8 self-​checkout registers are pretty simple to use. There’s even a balloon corral up front if you’d like to treat junior for behaving himself on your visit to the supermarket. At home I get regular emails (e-​Vic) from Harris Teeter that notifiy me on the latest sale and items that might be of interest, very nice! Not all supermarkets are created equal and although you might pay a little more at Harris Teeter, you gets what you pays for!
