March 2023 I was…read morefeeling under the weather and was searching for a facility that had covid/flu testing. I went online and it looked as though this location had both, but to be sure I called to confirm. I was on hold for 15 minutes. That is way too long. They should have at least picked up and asked to be placed on hold. When I arrived in the drive thru, there was a car in front of me. My appt was scheduled for 10:45 and I waited for a few minutes so I wasn't seen promptly. The pharmacist asked if I have ever taken a Covid test before and I said yes, but that it had been awhile so he walked me through the steps. I was impressed that my results (negative) came back the next morning. If you are short on time, I would not suggest this location for appointments unless you go inside. Also, be prepared to wait awhile if you are trying to reach them by phone.

I want to commend the Lynx Lane CVS Pharmacy Dept because all of my experiences have been wonderful. From visiting new doctors to new medications, getting my 'scrips filled has been nothing but seamless here. No matter the time of day, including the dreaded 5-6pm hour, I've yet to experience a line. Today's experience showed me just how attentive they are (again). When ringing me up, the nice tech noticed I had no refills left on my specific medication and offered to reach out to the prescribing doc's office. No need since I was meeting with the doc again soon to reup, but the proactive offer was certainly appreciated. That's the kind of tech I'd want filling my meds. FYI - not only can you walk up to the counter, they also offer drive through pick-up, with covid testing.

Came here to review the deli sandwiches. It was possibly the slowest experience I've ever had…read morewaiting for my sandwiches to get made, but the sandwiches were some of the best I've had around here and I'll definitely be back. We had the Thanksgiving seasonal sandwich and the Italian and they were both incredible. They were balanced, filling, and worth the money. The grocery store in general is okay. The customer service is very slow and inconvenient. They have lots of cool different items that you can't get in other places. We don't come here regularly, but our kids love the train, the car shopping carts with steering wheels, and the fact that their bathrooms have stools to make things accessible. We love the garlic Tuscan bread at the bakery too and their variety of seltzer flavors.

Representing 2019, W is for Wegmans. As my girlfriend & I have commented on some occasions…read moreparticularly when we've gone to grocery store together is they are all annoying, no perfect store. Wegmans at 3-stars is definitely above median as far as grocery stores go, but I have my complaints about them in spite of some solid positives. Only ones get greater than 3-stars would be Lidl in Columbia & Harris-Teeter in Fulton & Laurel have been positive experience, but HT prices average pretty high. When I've mentioned I'm going or went to Wegmans for groceries, people often comment they are expensive. While Wegmans isn't as cheap as Aldi, Lidl, or Wal-Mart, prices are a mixed bag here with some deals & would say cheaper than Harris-Teeter on average. I think even crappy grocery store Giant is no cheaper than Wegmans, & Safeway runs on expensive side too. In late 2010's, my experiences at Wegmans was mainly buffet mostly at Columbia location but also had been to other locations. My office is near Columbia one, so it was an occasional lunch option when I wanted to do buffet. In 2019, I believe buffet was $9.99/lb. I'd carefully load up, & the price would get to double digits, maybe like $13 or 15. One time I had work travel to Largo, MD in a prior company near Wegmans over there in 2013 or 2014, may have been $8.99/lb then. I was starving at 2:30 PM that day & really loaded up with a ton of delicious food, & I was horrified when my total was like $21 in 2013-2014. I forked up money, but was upset but then a little less upset after pigging out on all the delicious food. Mac n' cheese, various meats, rice, etc. are all yummy. One noteworthy lunch break from my office was on Monday, December 30, 2019. Parking garage was wet from cars coming in from rain, & I slipped landing on my back! I hurt my back. Thankfully, my New Year Day 2020, I was doing a lot better, but those last few days of 2019 weren't best. When Covid hit, buffet went away, but it came back by 2022. In July 2022, I was at a new Wegmans in Alexandria & was shocked when I saw $14.99/lb for buffet. I was going to do, but I opted not to as I couldn't justify such a high price. I think I might've done pizza slices, which were pretty good, & if it wasn't then, I know I had their pizza before at sometime. I just remembered my friend complained about her burger. I never got a burger at Wegmans before, but to be fair, she is very fickle when it comes to food quality & service issues at restaurants. Like a 4-star restaurant experience might be a 2-star experience for her, but I do appreciate she speaks up for herself & politely complains to server when sometimes isn't right for her. I think I did fork over $14.99/lb one time in 2024, but I had to be very careful not to overdo it at high prices, & think I paid like $17 in total. In more recent years, I've used Wegmans more as a viable grocery store option most commonly Columbia location, which is my closest location from my home in Russett, western Anne Arundel County, but also occasionally Gambrills one. One of the big positives of Wegmans is there is a huge variety of food in pretty much every category. I've gotten a wide variety of foods & even things I'm not thinking to look for or wouldn't be able to find at some other grocery store. Store is pretty clean & like model train that goes around above dairy area; it's a nice touch. I have friend from Buffalo, who loves Wegmans, as they started in western New York. Even in Maryland, if you're a Buffalo Bills fan, you can buy Bills clothes here. Thankfully, you can also buy Ravens gear too. On April 8, 2024, a group of us viewed total solar eclipse in Rochester, NY. Reason for Rochester as opposed to Buffalo, Cleveland, or other areas that had eclipse was one friend was born in Rochester, so held a special place in his heart. He showed us his childhood home & also mentioned how Wegmans was established in Rochester. Checked online now, year established was 1916. My biggest complaint occurred two consecutive visits in late 2025-early 2026. First time I had gotten a small percent of grocery shopping done in there when I discovered they had no turkey bacon. You want pork bacon, regular turkey, chicken, beef, seafood, etc., tons of variety, but no turkey bacon. I was annoyed & decided to abandon the couple of items I already got telling an employee & rushed to Weis closing at 9. Perhaps a month later, I told my girlfriend about last time their lack of turkey bacon. I said we are going straight to that area, & if they don't have we leave. They didn't have. I asked a worker who checked back but confirmed none. I told the guy they lost about $100 in business & to tell management it was bad. On Thursday, 1/22 before Ice/Snowstorm on 1/25, a lot was picked over but I managed as they have enough variety of things where I didn't get my 1st choice but I made do. Overall, Wegmans is a mixed experience.

But yep, it is absolutely a CVS with a smaller footprint than usual. All the usual goodies including over-the-counter medications, personal care, snacks, candies, greeting cards and such.

I shop at this location while I am at work or on my way to and from work because it's very convenient. On this particular occasion I stopped in just to get some air fresheners for my car and I noticed they had Lysol in stock. Since Covid started it's very hard to find Lysol so I grabbed two cans of it. They limit the amount of certain items due to limited availability and high demand. This is common for most drug stores and grocery stores. The store was clean has a very similar layout to any other CVS. They had a lot of items in stock but I noticed their refrigerated beverages section was a little bit lacking. They didn't have a very wide variety. The staff was very friendly. They were very engaging and humorous as I checked out and it made the shopping experience just a little bit better. A good location and I will definitely be back.

Today I…read morehappen to be in the area and had some Cvs extra care bucks that were about to expire so I stopped in when I had a free moment to see what they had on sale. They had Coke on sale buy two get one free. I was surprised to see that it extended to other brands of soda as well. The store was a different layout from the last time that I was here so it took me a little while to get orientated and find the soda section. I was able to get my sodas and there was not a long line at the counter so I did not have to wait very long. I did run into a little bit of an issue, not with the store, but with the CVS app. Apparently they updated it so it was impossible for me to find what my barcode was that I would usually scan in at the register. To make matters worse, I could not remember the phone number that I use when I register for it. The young lady at the counter was very patient and understanding. I felt a little bit bad because the line was backing up, but she was able to find my account through my email address so I could get all of the discounts. Normally, I would not come to CVS for soda because it is usually much more expensive Here But with all of the coupons and bonus books I had it ended up being cheaper than any grocery store that I would've gone to. I also needed some chewing gum that I found on sale at the front counter. It was a good experience, and the understanding staff made may not feel so bad by holding up the line.

I'm not sure what to say about a pharmacy, but we've been using this one for quite a while. Unlike…read moresome of the big chain pharmacies, we've never had a mistake or problem. If anything, they go above and beyond the call here on occasion. For example, they usually remember us. Not just, "Oh, here's your records" stuff, but walk in the door and (if it's the main pharmacists) they'll know what we're there for. That's something you don't get at your other places! Then there's the above-and-beyond you occasionally get. As a small pharmacy they're usually stocked, but occasionally might not have something. They'll gladly recommend some place that does (looking it up for you), or even on occasion they'll drive to the other pharmacy themselves, pick it up, and have it back at their location for you. Not to mention, they'll often have that done by the end of the day! So, if you're looking for a local pharmacy with great customer service, then I can't recommend them enough.

The man in front of me said multiples of the self checkout registers weren't working. WRONG. 2 minutes later, a Walmart employee comes by and turns 4 of the self checkout registers on, some time after people had been waiting in line. This makes no sense to me. Why not turn everything on BEFORE customers are inconvenienced??? Also, this Walmart needs a major renovation. It's just sad and depressing in there, giving the poorest of the poor K-Mart vibes, which doesn't align with higher end Columbia. I didn't need any assistance while I was shopping, which is good because there were no Walmart employees to be found. All that said, 2 stars because I did find all the items I wished to buy. And once the self checkout register was on, checkout was a breeze. Not my usual Walmart so I will return, but who knows when that will be.
