One of the best grocery stores around the Arlington/Ballston Va area. This grocery store is huge,…read moresuper clean, always well-stocked with fresh products, consumer goods and quality meats. Never have I come here and the store is poorly stocked or not well-organized. This Harris Teeter also offers a huge selection of nutritional supplements and unique household items that you would have to go elsewhere to find such as a local Target, Walmart or Vitamin Shoppe store.... All under one roof! The deli, bakery and hot food bar sections are quite impressive with lots of items and goods to choose from. There are weekly meal and lunch deals offered as well....all starting around $5 bucks! But, to my surprise...one of the highlights that stood out the most is that this place conveniently has a full bar upstairs! There is a modern bar and wine shop upstairs with both offering a great selection of libation and beverages to purchase. It offers weekly happy hour specials and every day $3 dollar pints. I mean, who knew!? How many grocery stores that you patron can you say have a bar or this type of offering? In all, this Harris Teeter store location is quite impressive. The sales are great, staff are helpful and there's convenient parking on the premises of the store. The only downside I would say about this store is that the layout can be a bit overwhelming to navigate. The store is very well organized, but you do feel like you're in a bit of a maze with so many aisles to maneuver in order to find items. And God forbid., you forgot one item once you're at the cashier checkout -- that's located in the back of the store..... You will definitely have bit of a stretch to go back and get the item given the size of the store! Lol. Nevertheless, no big deal for me. This store gets two thumbs up and one of my favorites in this area. Definitely worth a trip and visit!

However, their hot bar and Asian bar are elusive. Never available! It is frustrating. Came several times and finally got the cryptic answer from a kind staff (which could have been posted): week days only 11-1 and 5-7. Weekends are hit or miss, seems to be only 11-1 (and somehow not today, Saturday right after Thanksgiving). A supermarket's hot bar should be open the entire time!

The cashier provided me with plenty of options that included ways to save quite a bit of money on the ear buds. Basically, the ear buds pretty much ended being friend with his coupon recommendations. Overall, the store had a nice layout that is similar to other CVS Pharmacies. This particular store was well organized and pretty clean.

CVS let down their community today…read more We had a snowstorm (not that bad-cars and plow trucks on the roads and we had a weeks notice) and they are closed. This is an essential business. People were not able to get essential items like medication, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. Why is it that Mom's Grocery Store, Chipotle, O'Sullivan's, Liberty Tavern, and coffee shops (Northside Social, Starbucks) could come to work today, but CVS couldn't manage? Not only were these other businesses open, but their employees were out shoveling the sidewalks. What soft times we live in. Not showing up to work to sell basic necessities puts the community at risk and is shameful. I will be supporting those business who decided to show up for their community and will not be shopping at CVS.

I then waited nearly half an hour before giving up entirely. I had tried to refill a medication using the CVS app a few days before, but it wasn't eligible until this day. I kept checking the app all day and it never updated from "in process" so I wanted to know if there was an issue. When I was finally able to get them this week, only one person was working. I was second in line but still had to wait more than 20 minutes because the pharmacist had to prepare and administer multiple vaccines. 6 or 7 people got in line behind me before I was seen, but 3 of them gave up and went to shop first before it was my turn to get my medication.

Solid and fairly large cvs with all the pharmacy necessities and a good bit more than usual in the…read moremakeup and hair care departments. The area is tricky for parking and is more likely to have a homeless person talking to unknown entities outside one of the entrances than other Arlington Cvs locations you might encounter. But I've been numerous times including several in the late night/wee hours in the morning (between 12am and 4am), and I've never had a problem with anyone or felt unsafe there as a result. It can be a bit unsettling initially though, depending on the person or persons and what they're saying and how crazy they sound saying it of course...and all of this may be more concerning for some than others (I've lived in quite a few "colorful" areas of big cities and this scene is more like those than standard suburban Arlington style...it doesn't bother me but it seems worth noting this in a review here). Anyway, once you find a parking spot and make your way inside (I usually choose whatever entrance is furthest from any ranting homeless person, but not always...depends on my mood), you'll find that the place is unexpectedly nice and well stocked. Makeup options are as good or better than any pharmacy in the area, including full selections of all the main lines (Revlon, Maybelline, Cover Girl, L'Oréal, etc, plus a better selection of Almay, Neutrogena, Physicians Formula, NYX, Milani, and other brands that are sometimes missing entirely or have a much more limited selection than you see here. The NYX and Almay selections are particularly good here and notably better than other pharmacies in the area. Skincare and hair care offerings are also solid and seem as good or better than the competition. Oh! And nail polish and nail care options are awesome! All sorts of fun stuff here. All of these as well as food and beverages and seasonal items are on the first floor. Interestingly, everything else is upstairs on the second floor. This includes pretty much all the things one might consider as staple items in a traditional pharmacy: medicine, first aid supplies, vitamins, supplements, other health items, and, you know...the actual pharmacy, with a pharmacist who dispenses prescriptions and all that good stuff. They're all there and well stocked. But they're all on the second floor. It's a bit odd. But it's all marked fairly well with signage at entrances and in large print on the walls, and more importantly, it's very easily accessible via escalators and an elevator towards the back of the store. In addition to the pharmacy, there's a pretty nice sized waiting area, a bathroom (which is nice because many pharmacies here do not have one now for some reason), along with aisles of medicines and all that good stuff. Cleaning supplies, other household items, office supplies, greeting cards and other sorts of things are also upstairs on that level. It's nothing spectacular but as good or better than any other pharmacies in the area. And definitely one of the best places you'll find open if you need something urgent after midnight or you're just a super night owl like me. It's a bummer that the pharmacy is not open 24 hours like the store itself. Confusing. But it's not. So. If you need a 24 hour pharmacy, this one is not going to help. For that, the Spout Run CVS at 3133 Lee Highway is the closest and best--if not the only--24 hour pharmacy option in Arlington. That last issue notwithstanding, this is a very good cvs with far more packed into its small footprint. And I've tried a lot of them.
