Almost everyone working here seems unhappy like they hate their jobs. I always feel like I am inconveniencing the employees. The consistency makes me think this is a management issue. A new employee will be warm and polite for awhile until they seem to get indoctrinated. read more

Its cleaner than most of the other local grocery stores-- the personnel are friendlier, the self service registers are wiped down -- as are the carts. It's easy to shop here. There Organic Produce is impressive, and they have items that many of the other grocery stores do not have. Their Deli is very good as well. read more

Got whatever you need at acceptable prices. If I lived in this area it would probbably be one of my favorite grosseries. An extra plus is 24/7 opening hours and free wifi. read more

I'm basing my 4 stars on the fact that I know this is a regular grocery store (i.e. not gourmet produce) and a very busy place, so it's sometimes not stocked perfectly. But I understand that's what you get for choosing a chain store that's close to a metro with ample parking. I'm still rating it 4 stars though because despite being busy, there's always someone keeping watch on the checkouts and directing you to the shortest line. I'm amazed at how fast I get to the checkout. It has pretty much everything you could want out of a chain grocery - decent discounts, a flyer you can check online, and easy checkout (including self check-out). Yeah, I go to different stores for more specialty-type items, but this place is pretty good for everything else. read more

This is the first supermarket I've been to within DC. As such, I'll start with an average rating. The good parts of this place was that the place was large and clean. There was a good selection of item, including a decent selection of prepared foods. I especially liked the $3.99 meal special and have gotten it a few times over the last few days. The cashiers were quite friendly and asked each time whether I've found everything I was looking for. The negative are the prices. I'm not sure if the prices are typical for the region but they were significantly higher than the markets I've been to in NYC and Boston. For example, the Harris Teeter brand of 100% Concord grape juice was about $5 with the VIC "Very Important Customer" card. The store brand 100% Concord grape juice from my regular supermarket is only $2.50 without any cards. Still, as long as I'm in the area, I'm sure to return to this market. read more

Went in this evening and should have known better for many reasons. 1) Sushi selection was sparse. There was a sign saying we will make something for you until 8:00 p.m. Yup, nobody in sight nor a bell/buzzer to ask for assistance, was 7:00 pm on a Wednesday. 2) Some good sales, but you need a VIC card. I was at a HT one time previously, but declined when they wanted my driver's license number, yeah, no. So passed up on a 2 for 1 string cheese offer. 3) Went to self check-out thinking it would be faster. Two machines down, and when finishing up my transaction the kiosk screen locked up. No attendant in sight. Asked the nearest cashier for help, and she called Customer Service. I thought it would be prompt service as a woman left customer service ... then promptly disappeared down an aisle. A line is now starting to form because there are only two kiosks open. Again, I ask for assistance to clear the "customer service has been called" screen, and still nobody. Finally, a slow walking "don't bother me look" manager comes over, and says "What?" Seriously?! The now disappearing attendant magically appears when her boss shows up, and clears the screen. Good Grief I thought this would be a quick trip. Not only was it slow - broken down machine - but the attitude I can do without. Last time I'll be in any Harris Teeter, and in particular the one in Old Town and this one in Pentagon City, who needs the aggravation. read more

I live on top of this grocery store, and have for several years. It's convenient, but that's about all it's got going for it. Soooo overpriced. My benchmark for this is Brussels sprouts. It's now $4 for a pound. $4! That's crazy. They do have occasional good deals on coffee, and they also carry my favorite popcorn (GH Cretors). Some other redeeming qualities are a decent (yet mind-numbingly pricey) cheese selection, Boar's Head meat and, because of good meat, good sandwiches (although they're no Publix subs, I promise you that). Their produce is always terrible, and they often run out of rotisserie products. The salad bar is disgusting, and clearly sits for hours, unattended. Its selection is terrible as well. Their prepared food section by the deli looks as if it's full of plastic display fake food. I come here when I need something quick, but you can go to Whole Foods and pay the same (less, in some cases) for far superior products. This HT could use a reboot and a refresh. read more

Harris Teeter, Arlington Row Arlington VA: About 6 times out of 10, the bread has big holes in the middle throughout the whole loaf. I have brought this to the attention of management several times but the management does not seem to worry about it. Also, lots of their products have passed expiration dates, like for example the smoked white fish salads I checked today 8/17/2018 and most of them were expired 8/15/2018 and that is just one example. This is entirely on the head of management, NOT the employees on the workfloor. A young cashier once told me that their pay is barely around the minimum wages. I am really disgusted with this particular store's management. read more

My roommates and I are regulars of the "Teet". It may be a little pricier than Giant so make sure to check out their flyer to get their specials. They have a good selection of Naked fruit juices and smooties which I love. The best thing here is that they are open 24 hours. read more

My 8th or 9th visit to this 'Teet! I love this 'Teet! Its a great 'Teet! Clean. Well stocked. Well organized. Well lit. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Convenient. {Parking can be a bit of a pain, but hey, this store is in a mall.} Picked up Ursula & Jasons housewarming gift card here. Plus a few extra essentials. Popped my parking ticket into the validator. And made my way out! Happens this way almost every time. I love this 'Teet! [5/14/11] read more

The only reason I don't rate this place a 5 star is because of the somewhat higher than average prices. Clean....I like Open 24 hrs..... I really like Friendly Staff when I ask for Paper not Plastic...I really really like Great Deli and Sushi...Cool! 6 self checkout counters....very cool ALWAYS The Best Eye Candy in Arlington......OMG!~ read more

I love this Harris Teeter and it was one of the perks of buying a place in Pentagon City. It is incredibly clean, has a good selection of most things you may need in a grocery story, and is open 24 hours. Did I mention it's open 24 hours? This is a huge plus. In addition, the prices are what you would pay at Safeway but the quality of produce and the whole shopping experience - oh so much better. Other reviews have pointed out that this place gets really packed after work hours. Well, this is exactly why I don't go shopping there or any other grocery store after work hours. I usually make sure to get my shopping done in the late evenings or on the weekends. No lines, no fuss. read more

The store manager Tim Proctor is the best. Tim went above and beyond to refund the expired gallon milk I had purchased the night before from the Foxchase location. And to compensate my inconvenience he offered a free gallon of milk. If you ever need help go to help. The manager Julie sure learn from Tim. As Julie was not too willing on helping me. read more

This store is good for necessities for hygiene and kitchen products but they are lacking in variety when it comes to food. They did not have a lot of things that Whole Foods. Not great to shop here if you are looking for organic or healthier foods. Checking out has been quite easy though. We have never had a problem here. read more

I'm not a fan of Harris Teeter in general but I really like this location. Convenient, well stocked with a wide variety of products.

I loved living across the street from this Teeter. The staff is friendly (helping my roommate and I track down multi-packs of ramen , hiding their dismay when they realized we were broke but just cheap, etc) and the store is bright and clean. The vegetables aren't always great (the asparagus is consistently sad). The cakes are great, the breads are good, the free samples of bread and french butter is fabulous. The BEST part is ... the SUSHI COUNTER! The sushi chefs are sooo nice and make whatever sushi rolls you ask for. Even the pre-packaged ones aren't bad. I've catered from here too, and they threw in a bunch of extras for us. Even though I'm on the other side of the city now, I contemplate stopping by to pick up some sushi :) read more

Still one of the best grocery stores in terms of quality, price and selection. I like to think of it as the bastard love child of Giant and Whole Foods. Not Whole Foods pricey, but it has good quality products for a decent value. read more

What a great grocery store! I love the Teets. It is huge, clean, had some good deals, including for avocados, large wine selection and tons of free samples! I actually bought a goat cheese log here because they had it out in the free samples and was soooo good. 3 different types of bread were out too, in large slices, ham, other cheese and various fruits. I was tremendously pleased by this! I am so excited for a Teets to open near my place in Old Town. Until then, I think this is my favorite in the area. It is also a short walking distance from Costco! My one complaint is that I didn't see sushi grade fish, but that is a small quibble. Love this place! read more

The Bad: Expensive. Moved to the area two weeks ago from TX. I thought that things were just more expensive here in general so when I visited Harris Teeter I thought their prices were normal. I was shocked when I visited a local Target a few days ago and found out that Tide in fact is not $15 but a more normal $11! Compared the prices of several things I bought at HT with the prices at Target and I almost cried for the second time in my life (1st happened when I was reading the chapter about Dumbledore's funeral in HP and the Half-Blood Prince but I digress). Anyway, so this place is expensive. The Good: *Convenient to Crystal City and Pentagon City Metros. *Friendly staff (there is this guy with an awesome old-school handlebar mustache that talks like he comes from the 19th century) *Good selection of groceries read more

This Harris Teeter annoys me to no end but because of its convenience, it'll get 3 stars. I think the foot traffic that this location receives from being close to a metro makes it feel a little more grimy, a little more unkempt than other Harris Teeters. I usually only go to this one to pick up a late night snack (open 24/7 ftw). Otherwise, I recommend the Harris Teeter on Glebe. read more

Harris Teeter rocks my flip flops! I don't really wear socks... Do you know how awesome it is to have a grocery store you can walk to and not have to worry about the stress of parking? Yes, yes. It was wonderful having this steps away from our corporate housing apartment. Shame that we had to move... Anyway, even though we have moved away, we still frequent this Harris Teeter since it is not far from our current apartment. I think it is reasonably priced with better than average quality food. I think I am definitely more partial to this chain than Giant or Safe Way groceries, but hey, that is strictly my opinion. It is a clean environment. Everyone who works here seems to take pride in there work. Except the one time the night manager didn't seemed to give two craps about me trying to get his attention to get a Harris Teeter discount card. Ass hole. Otherwise, I have had nothing but good experiences here. I will be a repeat offender by coming here and shopping until I drop ... all my money in one grocery trip. read more

This is a nice store. It's pricey, but so is everything in this neighborhood. The produce section is well stocked and fresh, they have a good variety of foods and it's well organized. I don't like the parking garage, but at least I always get a spot when I go in the evenings after work. My only complaint is the staff. 2/3 of them are friendly and competent, but the other 1/3 can leave a bad taste in your mouth. Usually, that just means being a bit grumpy and giving you a dirty look when you ask for paper instead of plastic. I've been yelled at 3 times, once for validating parking BEFORE I shop, another because my blueberries felt out the bag when she poorly stacked them, and the last for taking 2 free cookies instead of one. I retorted, "I just spent $100 on groceries, I think you can give me an extra sugar cookie!" Although memorable, these experiences are not the norm and most of the staffers are friendly and sometimes even look like they enjoy their jobs. read more

Very disappointed in the check-out line. Not only did checkout boy allow someone to cut in front of me, but he also refused to give me tampered gum for free. My Dentyne Ice or whatever had one piece missing...cashier said I could get a different pack or else leave my tampered pack--no freebies. Good plant selection. Peace Lillies, little bamboos in gelatinous substrate, rhidonderons of various hybrids. Plants are located next to the fancy cheeses, and there are LOTS of fancy cheeses. Will have to come back here again just to better appreciate the deli. A good place to check out if you are shopping in Pentagon City Mall and need some groceries. read more

I like Harris Teeter. I shop regularly here (McLean) and in the Pentagon City location. It is a bit more expensive than Giant or others, but its a comfortable place, employs people with disabilities, which I believe is a wonderful social contribution --and a tax relief--. They seem happy doing what they do and they do it well; Employees have gone waaaay out of their way to help me find something I can't find like a... "special kind of German Sauerkraut". Real story. As they didn't have it, they ordered it to be available for me and other customers willing to buy the same particular product. I understand that I pay a few dollars more here, but it's SO convenient and pleasant that I just don't bother to go some place else most of the times. read more

Quite simply, their prices are too high! Otherwise, the store is keep relatively clean and the employees are helpful and friendly professionals. There are no other competitors in the immediate area. Drive to Giant in Columbia Pike or Shoppers in Alexandria for more competitive prices. read more

Meh. 3 stars is perfect. There's nothing bad about this place, but there's nothing particularly good either. It's a good generic grocery store. The prices are reasonable. If you want more high end or organic food, go 2 blocks over to Whole Foods. If not, this place will do. read more

Great shopping in a clean clearly organized store. Selection here is a bit limited in comparison with other Harris Teeters (Visit store near Potomac Yard in Eclipse building). Overall wonderfully friendly staff always willing to help. Sometimes things aren't as fully stocked as one would hope, but that's the nature of popular places... BTW, they validate for 1 hour if you garage park. read more

The best part for me is the self-checkout. Hardly any other grocery stores have that. That alone is worth 4 stars. The selection is decent, but I'm always wishing for a few things I can't get here that they have at Whole Foods, Safeway, or Giant. The parking isn't an issue since I don't drive here. People complain about the prices but it's not expensive at all if you aren't picky about everything and look for the sales items. Otherwise, shop at the dollar stores. read more

Store is super busy, so get on your cart navigating skills. Love going there for lunch and getting a sub, $3.49 for the daily sub and its much more filling than a 6 " at subway. Stephone and Wendell make great subs, Cashier Jessica Q(?) is also awesome. Fav sub: Wheat wrap, grilled chicken, choice cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, olives, and chipotle sauce. read more

They are open 24 hours 7 days a week, which is great! They are also very close to my apartment and many other apartments. They have a lot of choices of vegetables, usually fresh, depends on the hour you come. Not the least expensive I've seen, but not terrible. I am there all the time and they also support green living!! read more

Harris Teeter - Grocery Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

expired products horrible customer service if u call the store they dont even know what they are doing you can't even ask a simple fucking question like if the Wester Union is open the store is no that big you can just go and see lazy workers too read more

I purchased raw lobster tails last week and when I cooked them and tried to take a bite, they smelled strongly of ammonia. I bought them back and was refunded. Tonight, I bought halibut. Thought there was a hint of ammonia smell but cooked it anyway. Once flipped over, the ammonia was very strong. Clearly, their fish section is dangerous. I won't try a third time. read more

They are frequently out of things, things are mislabeled (e.g. bread) and staff is not super friendly (except the meat/fish staff). Overall the store has a bit of a "don't care" vibe. But it functions as a source of (most) groceries. read more

Chronically understaffed. Be prepared to wait in line 20 minutes or more. Almost no staff visible or working.

They are selling food that expired 6 months ago! Make sure you have checked the date. read more

Harris Teeter - Food bought on Jan. 18 2018 expired six months ago on Jul. 22 2017! - Grocery Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Boy, did the neighborhood need this market! Before Harris Teeter and the rest of Pentagon Row arrived, it was just a big, old, ugly field of weeds between the building down the hill from me and Pentagon City Mall. And once all the new development appeared, rental prices in the area shot up like crazy. So, some people who lived in the 'hood for years got priced out and had to migrate out to low-budget, sketchy Columbia Pike. Ew. Whenever I visit, I have to make at least two stops at Harris Teeter. I always cook some huge spread for my dad, be it for the holidays or just for the very special occasion of my visit. And daddy has a sweet tooth, so I most always have to go back for cookies, pie, those Kellogg's cereal bars and whatever else he may be craving. This place is huge, like 4 Gristede's under one roof HUGE, and sort of makes me feel like a suburban housewife which, had I stayed in Arlington, I might just be right now, for better or for worse. There I'll be, steering the cart around and staring at all the variety, saying to myself "holy crap, I sure as hell will never find this at the Food Town in my 'hood!!" The market has every food imaginable, including health and international foods, although not too much of the latter (the Pentagon City 'hood is probably the least adventurous part of Arlington, in every way). There's also items of the drugstore type, so a second stop won't be necessary. Whatever they don't carry, they'll order it for you, which is a big plus. The produce is all very fresh, and there is a bakery, deli and salad bar. Those departments are not really that good, but will do in a pinch. The self check-out registers work, and there is always someone stationed by them in case one should konk out. The staff are always helpful. None of those over-gelled, gum-smacking, I-just-got-my-tips-done types, thank the Lord. Actually, I always marvel at how nice people are in the neighborhood. Like, abnormally nice. I-am-not-used-to-it kind of nice. Harris Teeter is like Fairway, minus the cheese section, minus the class and minus the crowd. It's actually kind of a sanctuary. I know, I'm a freak. And I'm OK with that. read more

I was surprised that this place is so pricey. I didn't expect it. I wandered around looking for curry powder and never found it. I guess my navigation skills skewed from looking at the price of cheese... I will not be back. read more

I dunno why everyone compares Harris Teeter to Whole Foods... especially when it comes to their prices. Harris Teeter is no more expensive than Giant or Safeway. When I last compared, a 2-liter of Coke was about the same price as anywhere else. The place just LOOKS expensive because it's clean and organized, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. read more

I'm going to start this review by noting that I work very close to this location, so I wind up in here at least once a week. Twice in the last couple of months, I have gone in and the salad bar has unexpectedly not been put out--remember, I go here regularly, so I know when it's usually put out by. Both of these times, I have calmly and politely asked what the deal was with the salad bar that day. And both of these times, the employee I was asking--different employees each time, mind you--responded with utter disdain for me, as though I'd barged in and thrown a tantrum about "why isn't the salad bar ready, what's wrong with you people!" Now the thing is, I could shrug off being treated this way if their prices were not inexplicably high. Like $6.50 for a 12 pack of cans of Coca Cola? I've lived in Manhattan and never seen prices so high. I'll probably still wind up going back here, but only because their salad bar is the cheapest healthy option near work if I'm not able to prepare my lunch at home. However, it makes me wonder what's going on behind the scenes here if their employees are all so miserable. read more

I cannot get enough of harris teeter. After spending 4 years in Charlottesville (yes, I went to UVA), I'm used to spending a lot of time at harris teeter. It just pained me to find out there weren't any Teeters in or around College Park. Thus, I'm forced make the pilgrimage to this store when I'm in need of good groceries. They are a little more pricey than other stores, but these are quality groceries. I'm a fan of their products. They also keep the store clean, which is definitely a good thing. I'm sad this store doesn't have a discount for students, but I'll survive. I still love the "teet" and it's worth the gas I use to drive out here (sorta). read more
