I did not find it much different from a trip to Whole Foods, Fresh Market, or Mom's Organic and found a lot of Safeway-esque sprinkled within. Store was quite empty, hot food bar looked picked over, and their bakery section was lackluster. Luckily their prepared section won me over. My best friend and I picked up a few roasted chickens and sides for a Sunday night family dinner and were surprised by how tasty everything was! The salad and cut fruit were super fresh, crisp, and tasty. The creamed spinach was steakhouse quality. And our rotisserie chickens blew Whole Foods dry-as-the-Sahara birds out the window. Each bite was so moist and well flavored that I thought about it for a few days afterwards, I guess there is a reason why Balducci's catering is so legendary. I'll definitely be looking into their menu more as the holidays roll around.

The drink was really well executed and refreshing. I picked up some nigiri and left a happy girl with a full tummy and a yap session with the bestie. Overall, awesome experience- quick, easy, and certainly felt more luxurious than a grocery store meal deal. I will certainly come back and dine here again!

Wegman's has been a game-changer for us and so conveniently located across the street - we stop by…read moreevery other day! Love their fresh baked goods, produce, hot bar, and healthy prepared foods with more vegan options. They also have these $2 snack packs, which comes in handy with the kids. This Wegmans is much smaller and more compact with a neighborhood vibe rather than the traditional larger store (there's a small bar area and food court). Wegmans has really expanded their vegan and vegetarian prepared food options this year - the juicy Eggplant Parm is delicious! It has become my weekly staple! While the Butter Paneer is quite sweet, I appreciate the diversity of ethnic foods. The Veggie Lasagna is a bit soggy. The Vegan Cobb Salad, Kale Mushroom Tofu Salad, Kung Pao Tofu Bowl, and Vegan Sushi are quite good! The new Truffle Veggies and Portobello Mushroom Pizzas in prepackaged food trays are perfect for roasting veggies, you just throw the tray in the oven! The food court has a few stations - sandwiches, pizza, and burgers and closes around 8pm (salad and poke bowls were discontinued). The veggie burger is quite good, as well as the classic fries and sweet potato fries. The Truffle Mushroom Pizza is delicious! There's an Asian hot bar with Chinese food and a wing station. The crispy tofu in spicy soy sauce is delicious! There's also a bar with pretty good drinks, the Lycheetini was delicious! Wegman's has the best grocery store bakery with super adorable sugar cookies, seasonal caramel apple cake and pumpkin cakes are delicious, other favorites include oegy gooey chocolate chip cookies, Oreo cheesecake, peanut butter cheesecake, summer fruit tarts, chocolate covered strawberry, and moist strawberry shortcake. The seasonal maple donut, strawberry and blueberry cobbler donuts are delicious. The fluffy croissants and Jalapeno Cheddar bagels are quite tasty too! While the baked goods are generally pretty fresh, they are made every other day Including some of the cookies. Free parking without validation up to 2 hours now. There's also cute green grocery carts for kids. You can get digital coupons on the app. I've been able to save over $50 from the mail and digital coupons! Can't wait to come back tomorrow!

Growing up I was a Safeway customer. It's where my parents shopped and I continued. Safeway lost my…read moretrust mainly due to customer service or shall I say the lack of. I went into Giant last year. I was having problems with my Giant rewards account and logging in, I called support for help and spoke to a local person. Giant support is still in MD and PA. That impressed me. I had been shopping a lot at Lidl and when I was walking around Giant o saw many of the prices were compatible. I also love how Giant had many local food products including Ben's Chili, Ledos pizza and local bakery items. It's nice walking into a grocery store that anywhere you turn you see a Giant employee and they are always friendly and happy to help. Giant is my go to grocery store now and it has been for the the past year and don't know why but I get excited when I pull up to my local Giant.

Been shopping at Giant for over 20+ years. Went in to get prescription filled. Got that filled and…read morethen picked out 3 items, 2 candies and a popcorn to pay for in the customer service line. Immediately Maila the customer service rep walked directly over to me without saying anything and just stood behind me and watch the entire transaction without saying anything. When it was clear that Maila was not standing over any other customers it was obvious profiling. Took out my Credit Card to show the customer service rep to ask if she sees the credit card, and sees it going into the machine. While Maila was standing there, I said we can go to your manager and she said my manager told me to walk over to you. Got it. Then after paying for the items and walking out of the Self Service checkout, the person next to me had an issue and Maila said "Oh how can I help?" So to recap, I get profiled and assumed to not be able to pay for 2 candies and a popcorn, and the woman next to me receives customer service once Maila watches me complete my entire transaction. Fire Maila tomorrow or if she was not lying and what she said about the manager the manager was true who made this decision to profile take away their job. There is no room for this type of harassment when buying candy and popcorn at Giant after already going through the pharmacy line to then be accosted and laughed at while trying to buy movie night items for my family. This review will continuously be posted about Giant McLean.

Marufuji Japanese Market is a great addition to the Tysons area. They have a wide selection of…read moreJapanese groceries, including fresh vegetables, meats, snacks, drinks, and plenty of items you probably won't find at a typical grocery store. We've also really enjoyed the cafe! This has been the closest to Japanese food for us outside of visiting Japan. The food has been fresh and tasty each time, and it's convenient being able to grab something to eat while you're there shopping. The katsu was perfectly fried and the udon broth is heavenly and flavorful. I also enjoyed their hand rolls and the fish was fresh AF. Overall, definitely worth checking out if you're looking for Japanese groceries or a quick, fresh meal. Staff has been friendly every time we've visited.

I think I prefer meatballs that have more fat to get that juicy delicious flavor. I cooked them perfectly, but it was still a bit lacking. I also got a half pound of toro on the way out, which was a nice surprise. The bottom side of the toro was a little discolored and smelled a bit so I cut it off and enjoyed 85% of the cut. It's a very fair price at $51/lb so I wasn't bothered too much about the small discoloration at the bottom of the piece I got. The potatoes and veggies are slightly upcharged since they're a butcher but I just bought them to save time and a trip to another grocery store. You can definitely get good cuts from here but I wouldn't come on an everyday basis. Oh, and their handmade burgers are fire, definitely get them if you want a delicious burger.

I was able to get all of my pre-ice storm charcuterie and snacks, along with some fresh fruits and veg to hold me over until the world defrosted again. Despite they're being so many people in the store, I was able to get parking fairly quickly and the store wasn't really crowded. There were a lot of people there but the layout made it easy to move around. What I loved most about my last visit was the absolutely gorgeous selection of flowers they had. I was able to leave with some beautiful options, including some flowers I've never heard of, to create some gorgeous bouquets to decorate the house. I was impressed with how long those flowers lasted. They didn't even start to wilt until about 2 and 1/2 weeks after I brought them home. They looked good for well over 3 weeks and it was a sad day when I had to finally toss them. I've never had flowers last that long from any other store, including other Trader Joe's locations. I'm not sure what love and affection they're feeding those flowers but keep it up! Of course, as always, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful... One of the reasons why I absolutely love shopping at Trader Joe's.

I would load up when that happens. There are a ton of self checkout, kiosk and it is usually pretty organized with a good variety of food while also being well stocked.

I picked up some interesting organic kombucha drinks, some graham crackers, and Rotoni pasta. There were a few more things that I wanted to get, but I didn't have a way to carry them to my place.

Actually they have plenty of staffing and excellent employees here. I like the personal service, as this one stands out in that regard. Also props to the employees always helping our older folks, as they have regulars for a reason. It is a very clean store. Also it's well stocked and the employees, go that extra mile to keep it this way. My issue is the pricing. A lot of this can be inflation and at the corporate level. They don't seem to be hurting for cash, so regular prices are ridiculous, but if you're sharp sale items can be a wonderful bargain. Just be aware and you're good to go. This is definitely a beautiful store with a lot to offer.
