Best kept Food Lion. Pricing on meats reasonable, especially markdowns for those on a budget.

I thought I would try a crabcake today against my better judgment, it was awful. Lump crabmeat was…read morescarce, more filler than crab. I made sandwich, it was like eating bread on bread, even though I put lettuce and tomato on it, threw it away and put roasted deli chicken breast on it. I do not recommend, they definitely need a taster and better recipe!

This will be my third poor review that I've written about this Weis & I hate that because it's…read morenever my goal, but I do want to warn people. The first review I wrote about my experience here being just ok due to the lack of customer service, but I complimented the store on being big, aesthetically beautiful & clean. My second review was written because I was just treated so rudely by the cashiers and the ladies responsible for watching the self checkout counter. Sometimes they don't even speak to you even when you speak first. But, that doesn't apply to everyone. This third review is because on three separate occasions now, I've purchased meat, once was the pre-made ground beef burger patties that I got and opened that day to grill as my family and I literally gagged from the odor. I immediately took it back and the staff was nice enough to replace it without giving me too many problems. The associate at customer service even gagged once she smelled it and said: "oh my God." The second time I purchased Lump Crabmeat. Opened it a day or so later and man oh man. It smelled so bad. I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and took it back, because I was using it to make a seafood salad for a party & I would've been responsible for making everyone sick. I took it back, one of the managers was nice enough to check in the back to see if there was any more Lump crabmeat bc all they had on the floor to replace it was a cheaper mixture. He went to the back and came out with another can of Lump & informed me that it was our lucky day, that we got the last can. I was so happy until I got home and smelled that this can of Lump crab meat was just as foul smelling if not worse than the first. Once again, I took it back only to have the staff be short with me like I was the problem. Like they couldn't smell the terrible odor right in front of them. Like I should just shut my mouth and eat spoiled meat. After being asked what I'd like to do, I simply requested a refund and went around the corner to a seafood store and purchased Lump crabmeat that was actually only $1 more but was delicious and fresh. Then I went back to the Weis again and purchased another package of premade burgers. I got super sick. Then I opened a pack of potato bread and while I know the employees that work at this particular Weis didn't package it, imagine my surprise when my children told me that plastic was baked into the bread? At this point it's become maddening how poor my experiences at this Weis has been. From poor customer service to terrible sickness inducing meats to packaged food that could've actually harmed my child. I am VERY disappointed in this store.

This is my favorite giant food store for a lot of reasons they have everything I need and even when…read moreI don't can't find it they order it and they have it delivered directly to them. Customer service usually hold it for me until I can pick it up. Their Pharmacy team is amazing from pharmacist assistant manager, Miss Theresa Theresa, pharmacist manager, Mr. Sesay, Miss Melody, Pharmacy staffer Miss Sade, Pharmacy staffer. The ambience of this store is amazing. I love the fact that everyone is so friendly even if you walk in the Giant and don't know anyone they are all here to help. They even donate their food to any of the homeless who are in need of food that come in the store and sometimes can solicit customers for a dollar or something. Usually one of the Customer Service people will take that homeless person over to the side and bring them a hot meal and or allow them to get maybe three items that they need and that Giant Stafford will pay for it so that they can have something to drink and something to eat. I think that that is beautiful. This Giant is completely is completely about kindness, compassion, and Community. This is my favorite giant food store and I love the fact that they're always supporting some charity Saint Jude American Heart Association feed the Hungary donating to their local food pantries helping kids with school supplies. I love that they have a raffle every school year beginning of the school year. I have one maybe 3 raffles and I donated all of the materials back to the Giant because I no longer have a child who's in school he's now at university so when one year one a basket full of school supplies which I donate it right back to the Giant the following year I want Thanksgiving all turkey Thanksgiving box dinner which I donated it back to the Giant because I didn't need it and then one raffle I won tickets to see the Orioles play baseball and I donated those tickets back to the Giant and they could give them to whomever they want. I told them the 251st person that walked through the store could have those tickets and they did that and I am assuming that they enjoyed themselves at the game. I don't know. I did not go. I just love this Giant kindness Community compassion.

We first hit the floral department to attempt to get some balloons filled. At first there was no one there in the department but we were quick to find an associate. Even though that associate was not assigned to the floral department he was quick to help us. He came over and started to fill the balloons we needed. He even helped when we had an unfortunate happening with a balloon floating up to the ceiling. He was able to get it down and fill our order. He was very friendly and even had some help come his way which made this experience go two times faster. We next headed towards the greeting card area. Browsed through the area and found the card that we thought was perfect and even went for some wrapping paper. One last thing here was some tape to help us wrap the gift we needed wrapped. We did a little more browsing of the store to make sure we didn't forget anything before we headed for the checkouts. With it being so late in the day a majority of the checkouts were self serve. It was a bit confusing at that point. There was not uniformity to the way the line went. But once you did get to the register it was smooth sailing.

What happened?? When I moved here six years ago, I really loved this place. That's changed…read morecompletely, and I won't be shopping here again. I could tolerate the entrance gates, even though they were already a nuisance. But now having to scan your receipt at the self-checkout exit gate just to leave is beyond inconvenient. It feels like customers are being treated with suspicion, and that's a terrible way to do business. To make matters worse, when I spoke up, another customer behind me said, "Get used to it. You're in the ghetto now." That kind of comment was absolutely unacceptable and only made the experience worse!

I would never of drove there if I wasn't told by the liar Joseph I could come. Manager would not give me his name once I said I was calling corporate. VERY unprofessional, untrained staff in the tire dept. only 2 staff members were helpful and said they'd change it but manager was not allowing it. All the back and forth and arguing , my tire could have been changed. Thank you Walmart for putting me at risk driving on a donut to another shop and making me never want to use Walmart again!

Coincidentally, had some good discussions about grocery stores with various friends on FB messenger…read morethis afternoon & next in alphabet series representing 2024 is W is for Weis Markets. For W, this is my 2nd Yelp review in this current alphabet series. See my 3-star Wegmans Columbia review I wrote recently. 2024 was year I went to Weis most frequently, but I've still occasionally go here maybe twice in 2026 so far. In 2024 Weis was my most frequent grocery store, but I was less likely to come here over time as I had some issues with this location. All Saints Road location is pretty similar on severity of my issues with them, but I'm far more likely to go to US 1 location as generally more convenient. Since living in Russett in western Anne Arundel County, in 2021-2023 I was going to my local Shoppers most often as well as Aldi. I never particularly liked Shoppers but it was convenience of proximity. By 2025 I realized Wal-Mart near me was pretty good in some aspects for groceries even though they've annoyed me at times too, but they are still superior to Shoppers. From July 2023 to July 2024, I had free Wendy's for a year for going to a grand remodel opening of a location in Columbia, & my closest Wendy's is across street on Gorman from Weis. So, I'd get lunch at Wendy's then do grocery shopping at Weis more often starting in late 2023. My Weis business further increased after New Year 2024 when Anne Arundel Co government banned plastic bags all together, which I thought was ridiculous, so for a long time I boycotted going to grocery stores in AA (as well as PG Co) & would drive across county line to Howard Co & did almost all my grocery business with them. Howard charges 5 cents for plastic bag, & I still bring my reusable bags as I don't want to pay a nickel for a plastic bag. I just didn't like AA County banned them all together. I made an exception for my local Maryland City Aldi as no bags was their private company's policy, but it wasn't county government forcing customers & businesses to change their ways. By 2025, I eased up on my AA County grocery boycott as my opinion of Weis cooled off, it was a lot further to next closest store in Howard & more convenient to give Wal-Mart a try less than a mile from my home & Weis is about 3.5 miles each way. Shopping experience fairly easy, not too stressful. Produce variety was pretty good, & it was generally fresh but not perfect either. A good variety of meats. My biggest complaint was seafood at Weis. It was pretty lacking in terms of variety. In 2024 I had a big complaint with their pricing of salmon. So I don't recall exact pricing of salmon per pound, but let's say it was $10.99/lb. They'd have huge 1.5-2 pounds. I'd just want like 3/4 of lb, which would be about $8.75 total, but they wouldn't have anything close to this size. So, they would have these precut salmon, which were 2 5 oz cuts or 10 oz total. It was a bit short of 12 oz, but I might've accepted for convenience. However, price was a flat $10. I said price is $10.99/lb, & this is $16/lb (which is absolutely ridiculous more than most expensive Whole Foods, which I believe was a ripoff $14.99/lb there). Rude woman working for seafood said prices were set the way they were. I had her cut about 3/4 lbs or so & weigh. We did that dance on a few occasions. She'd complain about doing her job saying it was tough to get measurement right. A couple of times there was no one even around to help me. I think I just conceded I wasn't going to get any seafood, & I'd just get beef/other meats, but I really shouldn't have to do concede on what I'm eating. One time I asked to speak with manager about this. He was relatively nice & empathetic, & seafood area got a little better. I didn't think salmon was always fresh, kind of slimy. I have better luck at my local Aldi or Wal-Mart for quality of salmon. One time I was trying to take something back for a refund in May 2025. I often look at food expiration before I buy. I had bought turkey bacon from Weis maybe a few days earlier, & I was pissed as I realized expiration date was day BEFORE I bought. I bought on Sunday, May 4, 2025, & it expired May 3. This was obviously unacceptable. So, finally on Thursday, May 15 I got around to taking about this expired turkey bacon with my receipt. Manager let me exchange w/ other turkey bacon. I acknowledged I normally check expirations but happened to have not check, but was annoyed Weis had expired food there in 1st place. I requested for inconvenience of me driving 3.5 miles, 10 minutes each way to give like gift card for their fault of expired food. He said they stopped giving gift cards for things. So once again annoyed. Few times I went it was just self checkout, no checkout people, which I don't like. They said last hour or 2, but I don't like all self checkout. 3/18 Update: Salmon actually 10 oz $12, not $10. $10.99/lb is normal price. See pics.

The workers all have attitude issues and they never greet their customers, They all look so…read moremiserable. They never smile, The employees at the pharmacy are extremely rude and also have attitude problems and they also look like they hate their job. do better weis.

Looks like we are just left with high prices and no customer service. Came in last night around 845 pm and only two people working, one was a security guard making sure you didn't steal, and an associate at the self check out. Zero registers were open. Older lady with a big cart full of groceries hopelessly trying to check herself out, while the associate just sat and watched her check out. I asked her " excuse me maam did you want to check yourself out?" She replied no frustratedly. The associate was like " we close registers at 9pm". I asked does the store close at 9pm? His response and blank stare was like " ummmm nooooo" as he cluelessly didn't get it. All these corporations have lost their way. Most people don't like self checkout and it shouldnt be the only option. Just for this encounter... never going back. Not like they care...
