Harris Teeter

Too expensive! Compared with Giant or Safeway around the area. Every weekend they ran out fresh produce no one even care to put new stuff back, the line is very long. Vegetables not last 2 days in fridge, not so many variety on sea items.

Shop here only if you have to. Lines here are VERY slow. Crowded isles and unfriendly staff. Staff will literally just watch you while you wait and will not open more register’s.

I love Harris Teeter. If you visit before the early afternoon, you can usually find samples in several departments. The employees are nice. I love when Harris Teeter has Super Double coupon week. Any coupon will double, up to $ 2.00 (making it $ 4 off of whatever you are getting). When HT has a BOGO (buy one, get one free), if you just purchase one item it is half off. Yay! This store has an unusual layout. If you can’t find an item, check upstairs.

I grocery shop here, very often. The most unique thing that you can buy here — id the easy peel oranges. They’re the best oranges in town, hands down. If you shop here, make it a point to signup for their free VIC card, you will save a lot! The chicken breasts at the meat section are the cheapest in comparison to any other place around here at 1.99 $ per pound if you the free VIC card!

Great deli breakfast spot. Love the groceries but trying to buy a breakfast sandwich takes such a long time. It’ll take close to 25mins waiting time with being 3^rd in line so it’s not ideal for people trying to get to work. I wish the management can fix this. To add, they never have mayonnaise packets available for the breakfast sandwiches.

Harris Teeter is one of the main local grocery stores in the DC area. This location services the entire Ballston/​Virginia Square area and the many condo buildings nearby. Because of that, you can expect it to be busy most hours of the day. Because of that, they’ve made this location pretty big with ample parking available. All the main goods are on the first floor. The second floor (Yes, there’s a second floor) houses soaps, toothpaste, etc. as well as wine. Their wine selection is decent and comes with a wine chiller (so cool!)!

Come here mostly for the deli and sandwiches. They have a rotating discount menu for their 6″ subs for 3.49, which is an absolute steal because of the amount of meat/​cheese they put into it. On Fridays, all footlongs are $ 5. Needless to say, the quality of the meats and cheeses beats Subways any day. They also have an average salad bar if you wanted some variety for lunch.
The lines for the deli/​sandwiches can be non-​existent or very long. Since they’re not a fast-​food place, the lines don’t move at a fast-​food pace.
The rest of the store seems well stocked.

I just moved here. This store is crazy expensive. Check out lines are strange. Waited forever at the deli.
Better off going to the Safeway. Much cheaper.
I will be doing most of my shopping at the Trader Joe’s in Clarendon.

Customer service has gone way down in the ten + years I’ve been going to this store. The bakery and deli are poorly staffed. Seafood quality at seafood counter and produce are hit or miss. Good sushi and summer rolls. Very convenient that it’s open 24 hours.

More lower prices! The grocery store was packed with the usual Sunday morning crowd. There were not so many good buy one get one free items this week. Some of the fruits and vegetables were already getting to be picked clean.

Slowest moving deli line I have ever experienced and there wasn’t a line or anything! They are always out of the most popular products like non fat Greek yogurt and Siracha. I don’t know who runs this place but they might want to take a simple business class.

It’s got all the things I need, the service was good, it’s a bit on the pricy side though. It was very hard to find shrimp there today which I imagine should be a popular commodity and when I did it was $$$ (expensive to the teeth). But all things I’ve gotten from here is top notch. There’s a home needs section, wine and beer section on the 2^nd floor that basically got you covered for everything. I’m a fan and it’s the closest place to me so i will definitely be hanging out there more.

I come from years of experience at Food Lion, Winn Dixie, Kroger, and Walmart. I moved up to Ballston about two years ago and since Harris Teeter is incredibly close (I live at N Thomas and N Henderson) it has been my grocery store of choice.
In the two years of coming here, I’m still not sure I’ve developed a solid opinion of the place. Sometimes the experience is good, sometimes it’s bad.
I’m pretty sure it’s open ²⁴⁄₇ which is cool if you’re a night owl or early bird wanting to shop in peace! I choose to shop at 7pm with the rest of the world (probably a mistake).
The places prices are reasonable enough, cheap on some things, expensive on others. One thing I will give HT credit for is if you sign up for their membership card, they send you emails every week on things that are BOGO or have special prices.
Employees aren’t the most knowledgeable when it comes to finding things in the aisles but what can you do? The shelves are usually always fully stocked and they do a good job of keeping the store clean and helping you on your way.

Nice market within walking distance from all the ballston hotels, huge selection, plus a drugstore/​wine section on second level. Came here frequently during my vacation.

I moved to Ballston 4 months ago, and never been to a Harris Teeter. I decided to give it a shot as I pass by it everyday going to/​from work.
The store is very clean, and properly staffed. I’ve never had to wait for a long time to check out, and staff members are very helpful assisting if I have any questions. The variety is great, and the prices seem fair, especially when they have deals on certain brands of food. The Harris Teeter brand is really good too. If you love ice cream, you have to try out their wide variety of flavors!
Because of this experience I’ve continued to be a return customer for my groceries.

A big ROACH in my organic lettuce!
So disgusting! That’s not a bug that’s habitat is outdoors in produce. Generally, they live in filthy conditions. I could never shop there again.

Conviniently located in Ballston, big variety of items, and reasonable pricing. Although I’m officially an all time Trader Joe’s customer, there are some items that TJ never carries. Harris Teeter is my last resort :)

I like this store, i’ve been here quite a few times with my friend. We usually come here late at night around 2am, when the store is practically empty. We can take our time and shop.
Though their produce is a bit expensive but it actually tastes very fresh and better than a lot of the other grocery stores.
They also have a good selection of artisan breads and fresh prepared meals or frozen foods to go. As i am a big pizza guy, I usually get their frozen pizza to take home.
The store is huge and always kept clean and organized. The staff and management are very nice and will go out of their way to assist you and that’s very good customer service!
Not to mention the free sugar cookies you get at checkout! I know they are for kids… what can i say I’m a kid at heart or at least when it comes to cookies :)
This is definitely one of my go to stores!

Nice store with reasonable prices. Can get the normal brands here which the Whole Foods and especially Trader Joes do not carry. There is a large selection of fresh fish and it is way more affordable than Whole Foods. On any average day, it is consistently busy, but not too crowded.

I’ve been coming here to return my Red Box rentals, buy scratch off lotto tickets and buy small items for my stay in the area.
At first I thought, I can’t think of a worse name for a supermarket. I’m reading this off their website:
co-​founded in 1960 by North Carolina grocers W.T. Harris and Willis Teeter. Harris Teeter operates over 220 stores and one fuel center in eight states and the District of Columbia.
So two buds opened a grocery store and over the years built a chain with over 220 stores. Well now, power to the people!
