Harris Teeter

open 24 hours!

Lines can get out of hand at times. I have literally walked out of the store due to waiting in line for an 30 – 45 minutes on a couple of occasions. Organized store with a great selection. Come here for my tuna steaks when they are on sale. A great quality tuna steak! The bakery/​deli areas are friendly.

This big new Crown Park development is fairly impressive as such things go, and its centerpiece is effectively this new grocery store, which is large and clean and has decent selection. The general caveat on all Harris Teeters is to get a VIC card so you can get the sale prices.
They had a few slightly unusual perks for a grocery store. They appear to be doing some kind of hybrid in-​person/​online shopping where you order online and they put your groceries in a locker for you and you pick them up. I did not do this, but if you’re the sort of person who’s short on time I could imagine this being useful. Also, they had a seating area with a microwave available for use; you could buy something in the store and heat it up right away if you wanted to.
And those self-​checkout lanes, always prone to error, were ameliorated by the fact that a helpful employee appeared out of nowhere the minute I had trouble with a produce code. So, this being a tad nicer than other grocery stores and easily reachable by car, it gets a nice four star rating.

One of my go-​to places for lunch! I love coming here to see what’s on the hot bar. And it’s easy to grab a few groceries for the house, since I’m already in there. The food is always fresh. I actually like coming here just for the sushi most times. It’s fresh, fast, affordable and always available!
Tip: Get yourself a VIC card! Oh and try the pizza too! Thank me later!

So they are in the new Crown community right off the Sam Eig exit of 270 or the end of ICC. They are huge and super clean! I love their hot foods section, they have a ton of selections like Wegmans and a little Boar’s head section too. Their flowers are always beautiful and for my little baby, their balloon section is pretty plentiful unlike other grocery stores.
What I especially love is their customer service. Everyone seems so happy to be there and I always seem to have a lovely chat with people there.
An extra bonus is to Justin (and manager Jan)! Every week I volunteer with Manna Food center’s smartsaks program where we deliver food for kids on reduced/​free lunch so they can have food to eat on the weekends. Well, we need bags to deliver these so I went to ask if they would donate any (I use about 40 per week). Justin hadn’t heard of my program but from the get go was welcoming and willing to help. That’s great service! They ended up donating 2000 bags!!! This mean so much to me and especially a lot to the elementary school I work with. Way to go above and beyond guys!

I was pretty impressed to shop here today, and might start shopping here more often. When I lived in North Bethesda (still Rockville), I shopped at Whole foods, Trader Joe’s and mom’s organic. I have been trying to eat healthy and buy organic food, and especially because Trader Joe’s is cheap, I didn’t even consider shopping at Safeway or Giant.
After we moved into our new place, Safeway and Giant were the closest grocery stores, so I decided to check them out. To my surprise, Safeway was not cheaper than Whole Foods at all… hmmm? Wasn’t Whole Foods supposed to be the most expensive store in the area? Whole Foods was only expensive because its vegetable and meat selections are much better quality goods. However, other dairy products such as milk, yogurt, eggs, etc were just as expensive at Safeway, if not more.
So my other options were Harris Teeter or Dawson’s market.
I always felt that Dawson’s was a bit pricey. Harris Teeter on the other hand
really shocked me today with so many sales going on.
1. I bought my organic valley milk for less than $ 4 (I think it was $ 3.80 or something) on sale. 3 haagen dazs ice creams for $ 10? Haven’t seen that for a long time
2. They do have organic vegetable section and items on sale were very reasonably priced
3. So many buy 1 get 1 free choices throughout the store…
After exploring the entire store, I felt very satisfied and happy. I think that I will go back to whole foods to purchase meat, but I can come to Harris Teeter for other grocery needs.
On a side note, they were offering prime rib dinner special at the store entrance, and it looked delicious. The portion looked generous for the $ 9.99 price.

Really Clean!
Love the Prime Rib Thursdays! BY FAR THE BEST Prime Rib.
Really friendly good folks!

My go-​to grocery store. The fruits and vegetables are so fresh. Staff is friendly, good customer service. I always get fresh seafood the butchers are so helpful and nice. Very clean and new store.

My definitive supermarket (I only wish it was closer so that I could walk there, but alas…).
Pros: Great meat selection, competitively priced cuts of beef and of high quality (I never had any complaint), and also a great prepared foods selection (fried chicken for those nights where you just don’t want to cook). The produce selection is far superior to the offerings at the Safeway in King Farm (near where I live), especially for avocados — definitely worth the short drive to come here.
Also, it’s open 24 hours.
Cons: Do they block cell phone service when you go inside? Granted, they have free Wi-​Fi but I hate having to go from the back of the store to the entrance just to send a text or make a call to confirm with the boss/​wife about which type of pepper she wants.

This place was so empty that getting everything was SUPER easy!
Mangoes smelled amazing, but they clearly aren’t ripe… Weird…

I just purchased a slice of pizza from the young Spanish guy he always makes the pizza off but this time was just horrible ever bite tasted like I was eating ashes or charcoal waste of money very unhappy it is 2:43 pm

When I was living elsewhere (Virginia), I rarely shopped at Harris Teeter; it was in 2 locations with bad parking. For some reason, this kind of soured me.
But this place has a large parking lot and easy access off 370 and near a couple of my favorite department stores (Kohl’s and Target).
The produce is fresh and looks attractive. With a Vic card, you can get some bargains. The meat department had ground veal and all the usual chicken, beef and pork.
I’ve seen this in other Harris Teeters: a special place where they age cuts of beef. I’ve tried it (very pricey) but did not succeed in producing a steak that tasted delicious. I either don’t have the kitchen equipment or the know-​how.
I tried the self-​serve checkouts — these are still a bit buggy. Twice it charged me a second time for the same item. Must be set too sensitive. Also putting items in the bagging area didn’t work well.

This is a 24hr Harris Teeter, which is conveniently placed right off of the highway. This is a perfect place for me to grab some groceries when I leave Shady Grove metro Station. Compared to Giant or Safeway, this has been clean and less of a hassle to check out. I applaud them for this. The parking lot is medium sized, but it has yet to bother me. It does get cramped when it gets really busy and cars are trying to drive around.
Now to the actual store. I had the surprising experience of trying their sushi there. It was made with brown rice and with lower-​medium grade sushi. It was a bit flat and thin for the price of 11.99 for 8 pieces. That comes out to be 1.50 per piece. I kept thinking that if you go to Yuraku for a lunch buffet for 13.95, I can have fresh sushi at like .10 per piece — yes I gorge on sushi at the buffets. Either or, it was interesting to try the brown rice which was quite clean around the mouth. As for texture, it was a bit rough, but what can you expect from brown rice.
Overall, it was satisfying, but I wouldn’t really go there for lunch for sushi again. I would like to try some of their hot foods because it looks delicious.
BTW, get a VIC card. It’s free and you’ll save some money. I am planning to come here after happy hour sometime to really see the value of a 24hr grocery store.

I love this place. This is one of my favorite grocery stores. The produce is fresh. The quality of meat is superb (much better than some of their other locations)
The thing I love the most is how you don’t have to unload the groceries. The cashiers take items straight from your cart to scan. They must be well trained because they are excellent at bagging your items as well unlike other local chains.

While I’m not a huge fan of Harris Teeter per se, I really do like the relatively new store in Downtown Crown Gaithersburg. It’s huge, very well laid out, super clean and well-​stocked, and every employee with whom I’ve interacted there has been very friendly and helpful. Because of its size, it carries a wide variety of healthy and organic foods that are hard to find anywhere else.
I’m sure as the neighborhood fills in, the place will get more crowded. But so far I’ve always found the lines to be short and the place easy to navigate. So I guess I’ll enjoy it while I can!
I recommend you check them out.

I love Harris Teeter! This location is close to work and BP and I have compared prices to our Giant and found them to be pretty competitive. The deli/​produce has samples of meats, cheese, bread and fruit, which is great :)
They bake fresh pizzas in the store and have monthly specials on certain pies. In November, the pizza special was large steak and cheese for $ 7.99 and the non-​special is I think $ 14.99. I, unfortunately, did not take advantage.
BP and I have also bought sushi. 10 pieces for $ 6.99 and the chef made the volcano roll as requested, which was pretty cool of her.
Getting a VIC card is pretty simple, so sign up in-​store!

This place is extremely convenient for me and the store has a good supply of veggies and fruits but I wish there was better, fresher fish. For that, I have to pay more at WF. H/​T has great bargains on frozen food, which is practically blasphemy for a Nothern Californian. I like the $ 6 roasted chicken too

This is the most beautiful grocery store I have ever had the pleasure to do my shopping in. It is the size of a football field and well stocked from top to bottom. The staff is a real pleasure. My server, Tiffany was the sweetest person. She got me a cart and gave the best personal service ever! The store was so clean and well designed. You better wear your comfortable shoes, because there are aisles and aisles of merchandise, just tempting you to add them to your cart. I was thrilled to find my ultra pasteurized milk that has been missing from my neighborhood store. I scored some great deals and the parking was a delight. I am ready to move closer, so that this would be my very own Harris Teeter. I will definitely return and highly recommend this store to everyone. It is right off 270 and has a pharmacy as well.

I LOVE THIS HARRIS TEETER! I work right across the street and go here almost everyday. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food it always fresh. Their hot bar is great as well as the salad bar. Some of the prices are expensive but if you have a VIC card, you save so much money! They are open ²⁴⁄₇ so it is also a great place to go for late night munchies!
I recommend their breakfast bar for a nice hot breakfast.

This is now my new favorite Harris Teeter! It is spacious. The produce is beautiful, even though they were almost completely void of the loose shiitake mushrooms I was searching for. It has everything I need on one level, and a huge parking lot. It’s frozen Kosher food section consists of about three sections; Rockville has an entire aisle dedicated to Kosher foods, not that it really applies to me.
Employees are super friendly, as the banners hanging overhead boasts. I only wish this Harris Teeter was closer, but now I need to plan my trips here around my visits to Taco Bar which is literally across Fields Road from here.
