Love this Harris Teeter! Great selection, friendly staff, large parking lot... Living in Rosslyn, I go out of my way to drive here as this store is far superior to the Safeway in my neighborhood that I suspect might be the set for the next season of American Horror Story. This Harris Teeter has fresh product, a great meat/seafood counter, and an awesome beer and wine selection. My only [minor] complaints are that they tend to get a bit too crowded for their staff at times, and they occasionally don't restock popular items fast enough. read more

Buy produce get penicillin free... or just gray mold. I have only been going to this particular Harris Teeter for about four months. Over this short time, I have witnessed a steady decrease in its quality. The biggest problem is the rotten produce. Numerous times I have purchased oranges, strawberries, apples, or greens and they have gone bad within a day. The check-out clerks seem to always bruise my apples to hell. The frozen section is too small and not stocked frequently enough. I have been the store more than once when the freezer/fridge was leaking water onto the floor. Strangely, I have been there on occasions when there was water leaking under the bread aisle... I have no idea where this water came from. Perhaps this explains why their bread molds so quickly. The issue that really irritates me is the funky produce. I have never been to a grocery store that had so much rotten produce just sitting and moldering. After my trip last night, I decided that I just had to yelp about it. Of the 12-15 strawberry packages that we looked at, five had visible fuzzy mold, and in most other packages the strawberries were slimy and smashed. When I finally did find a suitable bunch, I was so grossed out from seeing the mold on the previous packages that I gave up. Next up, asparagus. All of it was dry and withered at the bottom and slimy at the top. I looked for apples, but they were so bruised up, that I gave up. Even the onions were in bad shape. On the way out, we saw a scowling man stomping his way in clutching a receipt and a bag of oranges... We just laughed. read more

A big ROACH in my organic lettuce! So disgusting! That's not a bug that's habitat is outdoors in produce. Generally, they live in filthy conditions. I could never shop there again. read more

We came here to get groceries and wine for our weekend getaway. The grocery store is a normal store with all the necessities. The lines weren't too long and the service was quick. The salmon was exceptionally fresh! The only complaint we had is the wine prices! We paid double the amount. At first we thought maybe the area was more expensive, but the next day we went to a wine store and we did indeed pay double, yikes. read more

THIS REVIEW IS ONLY for their SUSHI DEPT..... the sushi chef here is excellent. The sushi rice, fish, etc... is made very well. Better than what you find at many sushi restaurants. Only down side is you buy what's already prepacked-- very very fresh! Great for a sushi fix when you don't have time to go to a restaurant or want to save a few bucks. read more

I bought cheese sticks here yesterday, 3/29/2021. I opened one today and it was covered in mold. I checked the date and it says "best if used by 1/30/2021" which was the same for the whole bag. I'm absolutely appalled. Why are cheese sticks from January being sold in March??! read more

I moved to Ballston 4 months ago, and never been to a Harris Teeter. I decided to give it a shot as I pass by it everyday going to/from work. The store is very clean, and properly staffed. I've never had to wait for a long time to check out, and staff members are very helpful assisting if I have any questions. The variety is great, and the prices seem fair, especially when they have deals on certain brands of food. The Harris Teeter brand is really good too. If you love ice cream, you have to try out their wide variety of flavors! Because of this experience I've continued to be a return customer for my groceries. read more

After being used to going to Publix? My standard of grocery stores is way too high. But this store ALWAYS has spoiled food, and that's one thing that when I shop discourages me to get more items. Furthermore, their meat/chicken selection is TINY. Their prices and service are okay, but the spoiled food and the limited selection of items has driven me from not wanting to shop there even though I live 4 minutes away. read more

So its expensive, its still the best grocery store around! It doesn't have the best selection of ethnic foods, which I miss (head to Shoppers at Severn Corners if this is your desire), but the overall quality and price of everything else is excellent. Plus the place is always clean, there's always plenty of parking and plenty of checkouts open. P.S. it's the only place I can find Sabra's supremely spicy Hummus... which keeps my world turning. Without this hummus the world might end, truly. read more

I love Harris Teeter. I feel like many of these reviews unfairly punish the store because of issues in the parking lot. I don't own a car. I don't drive places in Arlington, because everything I need is withing close walking distance. I know I know, everyone who drives probably has a laundry list of reasons why walking or biking is completely out of the question, but I digress... This is a fantastic store! The selection is big, the prices are fair, and they have enough registers open to keep the lines from getting unreasonably congested. There are specials on certain days of the week. Fridays are full sandwiches at the deli counter for $3.99 - it sure beats a five dollar footlong at Subway! If you refuse to come to this store because it upsets your car when it can't park everywhere for free - that's fine. One less person to potentially sour my shopping trip! read more

If I could, I'd do all of my grocery shopping in NoVA instead of DC. But I'm car-less, so that's probably not going to happen. I can dream.... But if I had a car, I would, because this Harris Teeter is infinitely better than the new one on Capitol Hill. This HT has way more variety, plenty of items that I thought were only available at Whole Foods (ie, Rachel's Yogurt), a far better selection of meats & breads, and the layout is way better - making things easier to find. read more

A little over priced, but there is always a great sale on some items. I find that the Harris Teeter tends to have fancier (aka harder to find) ingredients than the Giant which is equally far away from my home. One thing that has impressed me here is their produce, I bout lettuce here that was supposedly local grown, and the head stayed fresh for me for over a week! I was impressed with this b/c most lettuce I buy goes bad really fast. There is always plenty of parking, and a great additional plus is the eye candy that abound at this store. It seems that there are singles everywhere! On top of it all the people who work there are very nice. read more

This review is specially for my pharmacy experience on 8/25/2021 around 1pm. I had gone to HT on George Mason Drive. When they didn't have the prescription I needed, the pharmacist called around and let me know I could get it from this location. (She also offered to order it, I declined) When I arrived, the prescription was taken and I was asked if I wanted to wait, and it would be about 15 minutes. Upon check out, I presented the appropriate goodrx coupon (correct dose, medication and amount) for the prescription. I was told that it wasn't working, without any attempt to identify why or correct it. When I further asked about why it wasn't working (I have never had any issues with goodrx in the past) I was told there's nothing we can do, we lose money with goodrx anyway. I explained that was not anything I had to deal with as it was an agreement between HT and goodrx. Upon leaving without my prescription filled, I called goodrx, who called the store on 3 occasions to try and get the pharmacy to process the code correctly for the medication. The representative from goodrx had a similar experience where the pharmacy was unwilling to answer her questions truthfully and continued to give the rep the run around. Fortunately, I do not have to depend on HT for any prescriptions or groceries as there are plentiful options in the area, however the lack of common decency and customer service leaves a lot to be desired. There's was no effort to help rectify the situation despite the numerous attempts by my self and the goodrx rep. You would think that a company as large as HT would stand by agreements they make and want to ensure their consumers are cared for. read more

Easily the best neighborhood grocery store, all things considered. All the majors (Safeway, Giant etc) are relatively close, but now HT even undercuts these places on price, in addition to outdoing them on quality. Extremely clean and the employees are very helpful. I like that their discount/sales policies don't stick with the buy 1 / get 1 deals popular elsewhere but instead give you stuff for 50% off from the start. This means you don't have to buy "extras" just to convince yourself you're getting a deal. Their subs are awesome as others have previously noted. Your freebie after 15 purchases is a 12" sub, not the 6" you purchase for the low, low $2.50 price. And yes, Jackie positively rules! She even remembers exactly what I order. read more

I recently moved offices and found my way to Harris Teeter's pharmacy at this location. I had used them at my old office location and they were great. To my surprise my old pharmacist was behind the counter. Ms. Jackie is one of the kindest and helpful pharmacisits that I have ever come into contact with during all of my days. She actually TALKS to you and more importantly she LISTENS. Jackie has gone out of her way to make certain that you get what you need and deals with your insurance company. I shall continue to come over here even though I discovered a CVS closer because Jackie proves that customer service is not dead. read more

good selection. Nice store clean. Good location. Prices aren't good or cheap at all. Allot of young people shop at this location. This is a better location then the one in dc on Penn ave. Way better. Everyone working there is so ghetto. read more

I love Harris Teeter. If you visit before the early afternoon, you can usually find samples in several departments. The employees are nice. I love when Harris Teeter has Super Double coupon week. Any coupon will double, up to $2.00 (making it $4 off of whatever you are getting). When HT has a BOGO (buy one, get one free), if you just purchase one item it is half off. Yay! This store has an unusual layout. If you can't find an item, check upstairs. read more

This Harris Teeter is clean, well organized, and the produce, meat, and seafood is always top quality. Harris Teeter is known to be a bit more expensive than other grocery stores so not understanding the negative reviews based on price alone. As with anything in life, you get what you pay for. In addition, I've never had the parking problems here that others describe. I prefer to come to Harris Teeter as opposed to the way more expensive Whole Foods. when I'm cooking and need fresh ingredients for dishes made from scratch. Giant's produce and deli is lower quality . Trader Joe's is better for pre-packaged and pre-made foods and while H Mart is still my fave grocery store, it doesn't have all the American staples that Harris Teeter has. This HT location in particular is my go to and I recommend it over the one near the Pentagon City metro. read more

I'm moving my shopping from HT to Target. The HT on Glebe Rd is nice and more importantly opens 24 hours. This means I can come after hours, 11PM - 3AM, and avoid the hoards. No congestion to deal with and they get to make money off me while the store is busy with stockers shelving inventory. Win/Win. This pact breaks down they put sale stickers on the shelves too early or leave them past expiration. When I see a sticker on the shelf for an item I assume it is in force. Once in a while, I will find out at check out that the sale has yet to start or it has expired, leaving me to pay full price on the item. The wee shift staff is usually pretty understanding and almost always offers to extend the deal to my purchase. This time I was checking out at 11:30 PM, not the late late shift, and was confronted with the problem of a buy one get one free sale for an item that began at midnight--I was 30 mins early despite the presence of the stickers on the shelves. The supervisor at the checkout kind of shrugged her shoulders so I said just take off all those items--I will buy just the eggs. She didn't know how to take off those sale items, so she canceled the sale and asked me to rescan my item. I was miffed, and told her I didn't want to buy anything today. You know what? I'm going to shift all my grocery shopping to TARGET. (I have been shopping at that HT for years.) I can't shop there past 10-11 PM, but I won't be rewarding bad behavior. read more

Come here mostly for the deli and sandwiches. They have a rotating discount menu for their 6" subs for 3.49, which is an absolute steal because of the amount of meat/cheese they put into it. On Fridays, all footlongs are $5. Needless to say, the quality of the meats and cheeses beats Subways any day. They also have an average salad bar if you wanted some variety for lunch. The lines for the deli/sandwiches can be non-existent or very long. Since they're not a fast-food place, the lines don't move at a fast-food pace. The rest of the store seems well stocked. read more

They would get fives stars if the store was on one level. I don't like grocery shopping withbtwo levels. It's too much of a hassel to bring the cart upnor down the elevator. Other than that the T is go my gonto store. They have the best meat market in town. read more

Harris Teeter - The T - Grocery Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This is the Harris Tetter but just because it's the closest one to me. It is small and 60% of the out of the sale items I came for. It only makes sandwiches and there isn't a place to eat them..the specialty cheese section is small, as well as the meat and fish counters. But overall it works. read more

Harris Teeter - Deli at HT - Grocery Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Think of it like this: you spend at least 1 hour of every week at the grocery store, that's 52 hours per year! I don't want to spend 52 hours of my life in a bad grocery store, so I pay a little more to shop at H-Teets. First, the sushi! I understand that sushi snobs turn down their nose at "grocery store sushi" but H.T. has some great rolls-- fancy and well-made ones that I would order at a Japanese restaurant (Hawaii roll...nuff said). It costs about the same as a designer roll at a sushi bar but obviously you save money by not paying for drinks or a tip. H.T also carries their own brand of several products that I enjoy more than national brands. Their "H.T Traders pineapple habanero salsa" was in our fridge weekly from May until August. Yum x 100. The thing we love about Harris Teeter is that it feels nicer than a larger, cheaper place but it is not as expensive as Whole Foods. To us, it's perfect for weekly shopping if you're willing to spend a little bit more for quality/atmosphere. Also...if you shop smart and use the VIC card, you will seriously save some cash. read more

The prices are steep, but the grocery store is pretty good overall. The produce is quite fresh. It's an average grocery store, nothing really special or fancy about it. I would go there in a pinch, but I still prefer trader joe's or whole foods. read more

Nice market within walking distance from all the ballston hotels, huge selection, plus a drugstore/wine section on second level. Came here frequently during my vacation. read more

Harris Teeter is one of the main local grocery stores in the DC area. This location services the entire Ballston/Virginia Square area and the many condo buildings nearby. Because of that, you can expect it to be busy most hours of the day. Because of that, they've made this location pretty big with ample parking available. All the main goods are on the first floor. The second floor (Yes, there's a second floor) houses soaps, toothpaste, etc. as well as wine. Their wine selection is decent and comes with a wine chiller (so cool!)! read more

I love Harris Teeter, or "the Teets" as I call it. I have shopped here and to the nearby Giant (though not the Safeway yet) and Harris Teeter is far superior to the Giant in terms of prices and free samples. The Teets does seem kind of expensive at first, but they have lots of weekly deals if you are a VIC member, and we save a lot of money by keeping track of them and buying certain items only when they are on sale. They often have great sales on their two lb bags of shrimp - we usually stock up when they have the buy-one-get-two-free or buy-two-get-three-free deals, and we thus always have a good supply of shrimp in the freezer. Same goes for the frozen vegetables. They frequently have buy 2 get 3 free deals on icecream which is bad if you are trying to avoid eating it, but a fantastic deal. In addition, we have seen great deals on eggs, raspberries, cantelope, ham.. And that brings me to the best part - the free samples! We are loyal customers and this is not only because of the deals but because of the generous free samples provided. Cruising the free samples on the left side of the store usualyl gets you some pieces of bread with some kind of jelly, butter or "olive tampanade", bite size pieces of cake, cheese, ham or turkey, apple slices, orange slices, cantelope slices, and sometimes tomato slices. It is great to have a snack while you are shopping, and it makes the experience much better and exciting. Another plus: this place is open 24/7! read more

It's got all the things I need, the service was good, it's a bit on the pricy side though. It was very hard to find shrimp there today which I imagine should be a popular commodity and when I did it was $$$ (expensive to the teeth). But all things I've gotten from here is top notch. There's a home needs section, wine and beer section on the 2nd floor that basically got you covered for everything. I'm a fan and it's the closest place to me so i will definitely be hanging out there more. read more

Harris Teeter - Strawberry rhubarb crisp shopping - Grocery Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I used to live in NC for a good many years of my life, and developed a healthy following of Harris Teeter. So healthy that I have their weekly specials e-mailed to me each week. In fact, I am a classic BOGO (buy one get one) shopper, trying to save as much as I can every time I go. To put it succinctly, I love Harris Teeter. But more specifically, I love the Harris Teeter's back in NC. I know what you're thinking, hickville NC? Nope, Chapel Hill and the Triangle area. But, if you're looking for the world's best Harris Teeter, it's on the outer banks. Dear God, it was an entire store-length of chilled beers of great quality. Unfortunately, there's nothing like it here in the DC metro region. It was a struggle for me deciding which grocery store to frequent most often - HT, Giant, Safeway, Whole Foods, or Trader Joe's. I love TJ's, but I always seem to spend more than I've budgeted. Like Costco, each purchase is deceivingly cheap until you come to the cash register. This HT is just OK. If you go during normal hours, it's always crowded and the produce selection is rather sparse - which is why grocery time is now on weekend mornings. There's a way better HT in Shirlington, but they seem to be geared towards a different clientele, if you catch my drift. But, this place is open 24 hours, and has a good deli counter with people making fresh sandwiches and sushi as well. read more

Yesterday was my first time at a Harris Teeter and I really liked it. The shop is big and probably better than a Safeway. While the service at the register was good, the one at Customer Service sucked. I had to wait for a few minutes, and when I asked the lady for a membership card, she started answering me with an attitude. ARGH! But honestly, all I care for at a grocery store is the food and the selection, so 4 stars it is. read more

I love this H. Teeter. Great selections. A little over-priced and can get VERY crowded. Go during off hours which shouldn't be hard seeing they are open 24 hours. The worst part about it being crowded is the parking lot. The typical Arlington Harris Teeter customer is a yuppie with little to no driving skill so expect to see awful parking jobs, door dings, and bumper taps. I try to park as far away as possible (and sometimes in the truck delivery area). Their produce selection is decent. They often have free samples of cheese, breads, cold cuts, and produce on weekends. Their organic selection isn't Whole Foods caliber but its definitely better than Giant or any other area grocery store. Meat selection and quality is good. One of the best things are the Harris Teeter brand products. Sauces, rice, meats, etc. Its a great way to save money for pretty much the same product. I love this neighborhood H Teeter. A pretty good beer selection doesn't hurt either. EDIT: After reading Jackie A's review, I have to agree with her entirely. The parking here is beyond bad and just gets worse as the population in the area grows. If you go any weekday between 5 and 7pm, don't expect to find a spot. Sundays are just awful unless you got while everyone is "in church" (aka recovering from their Saturday night). There really needs to be something done about this. I often have to park illegally back by the loading dock (as does one of their employees with a white Pontiac Solstice). I don't know if there is any way for HT to buy up a neighboring lot or something but the parking is getting to a point where I'd rather walk to Giant than drive to Harris Teeter. read more

This is where I always go for groceries but i may find somewhere else to go after my experience tonight. It's super doubles and i had a few coupons that wouldn't scan... well every other manager in the store puts the discount in when this has happened to me over the past.. lets see... almost 10 years. Well one of the managers tonight at this Harris teeter named Aziz decided he didn't want to. He told me "if these don't scan I'm not taking them" and stated that per their policy they "don't HAVE to take a coupon if it doesn't scan". So let me get this straight... you don't "have" to but you "can"... but you don't want to because you don't value your customers apparently. He also made a comment under his breath when the computer wasn't doubling the coupons that i used all of my 20 for the day. ACTUALLY i didn't. I hadn't used any thank you very much. This manager "AZIZ" was the most condescending, rude individual I've encountered and should not be working in customer service, let alone be a manager. I feel sorry for the people who have to work under him. Last time i was here, i saw an elderly man cussing Aziz out...and now i know why. read more

I switched to Harris after getting trashy produce at the Giant near GMU. While I thought the better quality would mean higher prices, I generally found it not to be the case. Marginally, the canned goods were perhaps a buck more but the increase in selection helped me accept the difference. I am continually amazed by their wine selection - a solid fourth of their second level. The organization of the wine could be boat loads better though. I'm used to bottles arranged by label instead of type. Don't go on Sundays (if that's a surprise). They typically run out of celery, green onions, and cucumbers far before I ever get there towards 6 PM. read more

I just moved here. This store is crazy expensive. Check out lines are strange. Waited forever at the deli. Better off going to the Safeway. Much cheaper. I will be doing most of my shopping at the Trader Joe's in Clarendon. read more

I went to Glebe road Harris Teeter today and the Cashier Chayanne S was very rude to me and it was so disappointing from a cashier.

- Parking lot designed by a moron - Birds always flying around - Usually old produce laying around - Good place to meet women read more

Definitely the go-to spot for anyone in Ballston area, unless you want a niche product from Trader Joe's. I will say though, for how progressive this area is, on two subsequent occasions I've seen the same employee who looks like a thrift store version of Santa stocking vegetables without a mask. read more

The checkout situation here is mind-boggling. The configuration of the check out stands to add time to each transaction. You literally have to stand on your tippy toes (in my case) to reach over and grab your bagged groceries. It also seems that the cashiers are in no hurry and if you're in a hurry or are just tired of waiting, DO NOT accept their offer of using the store discount card (if you do not have your own/from out of town) it'll add even more time to your wait. The cashier leaves the station to go find a manager to get a card to scan. I give it 3 stars because it's convenient and has food but besides that, meh. Also avoid on Sunday nights at all cost. read more

It's difficult to imagine how much more poorly this store could be managed during covid-19. While most stores seem to be diligently sanitizing carts and checkout areas, I have not witness any such thing during my two trips here within the last month. Employees seem to have to supply their own PPE. Some were wearing masks, others not. Some were wearing gloves, again, others not--the bagger for my groceries had neither. I think most of us are limiting our grocery trips, and to walk into this store (twice within the last month) on days where the store was filthy with spills in the aisles, abandoned restocking carts in the middle of the aisles and insufficient cashiers causing long lines (which prevents social distancing), were extremely frustrating experiences. No excuse for this. I will not be returning here anytime soon, even though it is a short walking distance from my place. I'd rather get in my car and drive some place safer. The heck with convenience. read more

After years of going to the Virginia Square Giant and being abused by their surly employees, it is a pleasure to go to HT. Their staff is friendly and helpful. Their food is beyond reproach. Plus 2-for-1 items ring up 1/2 price even when you buy one. However, the best thing about them is the lobster roll. It is a steal at $8 with lots of tasty lobster meat. Their artisan bread is good too. read more
