Harris Teeter

I agree with the poster a few lines down. This Harris Teeter is new and clean, but seems to regularly have items out of stock. I approached the assistant manager on duty one evening when my favorite beverage was out of stock. He didn’t apologize and made an excuse as to why it was out of stock. He didn’t seem phased that this even happened. I told him that the Harris Teeter stores in Ashburn don’t seem to have this problem. I only shop at this location if I absolutely have to.

So impressed by the bakery department for putting together a donut cake. Even though I came in a couple hours late for the order she said it would be no issue and they would start making the donuts in advance. Please note that I called Safeway and Dunkin Donuts about making this donut cake which neither one could produce.

Other than a giant and food lion there isn’t any other place for groceries. Not much to say but there’s always things on clearance. Anyone else think the lights in the park lot are too bright at night?

Kinda disappointed with the Manager here. For the last few weeks I am faced empty shelves for chicken which makes me drive to other grocery stores. There is supply chain problem with milk and chicken at this store. I gave this feedback to the manager on duty and instead of acknowledging she started saying that maybe they have better chicken and that’s why their demand is high. She also mentioned that distributors do not supply their demand and was very defensive about the issue. I would suggest her to acknowledge the problem and then assure customers that they are doing something to alleviate the problem. There is nothing to be gained by being defensive. If you say unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it — there is definitely something wrong here.

Harry Teeter is a great place to pick up some fresh produce but beware when shopping here as many items are over priced. I would highly recommend the VIC card if you decide to frequent this joint, you’ll save a ton of money!
HT offers a fresh salad bar, hot food ready to take home and serve on the dinner table as well as a great florist that will whip you up a beautiful bouquet to your liking.

I go here way too much. Staff is awesome they have the freshest stuff. Quick in and out :)

I come here only if I absolutely need to.
It’s very close to home and so if I’ve forgotten to grab something on my grocery list, I’ll stop by. I’m glad that it’s open ²⁴⁄₇. The store is always neat and clean. The aisles are spacious.
I have had positive and not so positive experiences with customer service at this Harris Teeter. I don’t even want to start on my negative experiences here…
So I’ll just end with a big Thank You to those hard working employees who take the time to offer a helping hand and work with a positive attitude.

This Teeter is our regular supermarket; it’s the best market in the South Riding area — better than the Food Lion and the Giant. It’s very clean, the samples are good, and most of the people are friendly and helpful. The regular prices are not great, but with the VIC card you can get some nice savings — for example there is usually a BOGO deal on ice cream.
It’s not Wegmans, but only Wegmans is Wegmans!

Although I prefer the Teeter on Ridge Knoll Dr in Fairfax, this location was along my route at the time. It didn’t disappoint, either. And it could have…
I was just stopping in to pick up one of their delicious subs from the deli shop. The gentleman behind the counter quickly asked if he could help me. I told him what I wanted — a 6in steak & cheese. Well… no dice! They had just run out & he informed me so. He said that they had more, but it was frozen & would take a while. Did I want to wait or choose something else? In a time crunch, I chose the latter. He suggested the breaded chicken, saying it was good, so I went with it — but spicy. He made it perfectly, apologized for the initial disappointment & let me know he «hooked me up» for being so nice about it. Scored a discount! And, most importantly, he was right… the sammich was deeeeeelicious!

$ 5 any footlong sub, just wonderful.
Really great service.
Fast customer service.
Harris teeter is just the best option for lunch.

I love Harris Teeter and this location!‘good variety of products, always friendly staff and they keep the store clean.

This Harris Teeter is A-​OK as far as grocery stores go — since spending time in grocery stores is about the worst thing ever, I inherently don’t want to go to them. However, this one is fine. Although I’ve been here many times, a recent experience warrants a good review:
I went there to pickup a balloon bouquet (what is that?) and found the floral department unmanned (why would men hang around there?). I went upfront to ask for assistance, a guy showed up and looked somewhat surprised that someone wanted balloons but proceeded anyway. He was a bit rusty and leaned in to the balloon and sure enough had it burst right in his face. The poor guy was stunned, hurt and pissed but continued on anyways. I do appreciate his fortitude in the face of adversity. :)

Convenient to home, fresh produce, large clean aisles, nice meat and seafood counter, deli and decent selection of grocery items that are well organized and easy to find. Add to that friendly staff and Harris Teeter is a winner. This location never seems to be too crowded either. I agree the prices are a bit higher and you definitely want to have a VIC card if you shop here, but the quality and convenience bring me back every time.

My absolute favorite grocery store! The freshest veggies, nicest staff! I visit at least twice a week!

The prices are more expensive than any other local grocery chain, but I considered myself smart by shopping for the items on sale. Tonight I realized that they’re randomly not applying sales discounts, so for some amount of time, I’ve been paying considerably more for my items than I expected. The store manager told me it was a computer error, but was unsympathetic, telling me there was an error message, but it appears on the cashier’s side of the console, which they apparently ignore.
I’m totally done with this place.

Working on weekends sucks. If I choose to maintain social obligations, I end up being hungry in the middle of nowhere at odd hours. This makes me appreciate Harris Teeter because a 24-​hour grocery store is a huge step up from gas station convenience stores. Plus there’s less stress when you don’t swear at the empty parking spaces closest in, which are reserved for hybrid vehicles. Don’t push your luck with those, since cops pop into HT late at night sometimes.
Fresh produce from proximity to so many local farms, with organic stuff at a slightly higher price point than generic. Vic club card a must. Sparse staff are still polite at midnight even if I had to wait to flag someone at the register. Markdown produce near plants, and more generic items tossed into labeled shopping carts just inside the entrance. I keep an eye on the sales papers since it only becomes worthwhile to shop there during normal hours when eggs or whatever are marked dirt cheap. Dinging them for optimistic meat expiration dates.

Yes, the prices are a little higher than Bloom or Giant. However, they are open 24 hours and the produce is fresh, and they have lots of organic milk. They also carry the single-​serving coffee cream, which is incredibly hard to find these days.
I only stop by here to pick up organic milk and a few other essentials; my normal shopping is done at cheaper stores such as Lotte.
