I come here for the bread, the bakery is rather good and not typical grocery store stuff…read more The rest of the store is hit or miss, some good brands at great prices, some odd brands that are clearly 3rd string. There are also a lot of treats and candy that reminded me of a Pier 1 or World Trade Market. And you can find some European brands of things you just can't find in regular stores. I see Lidl as someplace to go occasionally since they are out of the way for us but if we lived closer we would shop more regularly. Ok last thing, lots of people compare this to ALDI. I don't they really are different, the bakery is far better than anything at ALDI, they also sell lower end oddities like a Dollar store, and many German or EU food products. They do carry some of the low-end brands that ALDI sells and for both stores that's part of their value. Some folks are ok to have 3rd rate quality to save a little money. For us we are selective and I don't mind hitting several grocery stores to get the best that each offers.

I love getting my spices here (reason for the stop) but I noticed the prices have gone up and the ones I like were no longer there. I ended up getting a few other things I had not planned on since the prices were good. It seems to be a hit and miss with the prices. I know everyone has been going up but I am disappointed when I go in for a specific item and it is not there. I don't live close so I only get here once or twice a year. I will continue to stop in to see what they have and hopefully pick up my favorites. 4/18/26

When I forgot a bag of ice until after I had checked out, another cashier without a line because she wasn't open yet, rang me up without waiting. That's service! Thanks

(From the archives. Visited this store multiple times in June of this year and July of last year.)…read more It always reminds me that we are in NC whenever we visit a Food Lion. I say that because coming from PA where FL doesn't exist, the only times I have ever been inside one are here and at the location in Corolla. This store is located conveniently on the "main drag" of Atlantic Beach in what for all intensive purposes is the only strip mall on this part of the island. Plenty of stuff a short drive back on to the mainland in Morehead City, but this is it for what is close to AB and Pine Knoll. I would classify this place as a small town boutique supermarket. This is certainly not a warehouse store and it's also not something like a Wegmans which in terms of square footage and choices would dwarf this place. No, what you're getting here is a solid dose of tourist/beach essentials that leans heavily towards their store brand generics. Not to say that any of that is bad as the pricing and quality of their store branded offerings are quite good. A few things to keep in mind: * I would imagine that the hours vary here seasonally. I know the Food Lion in Corolla can be open 24/7 in summer and in late December be shutting down at 7pm. We've only been here in season and both years the hours were 6am-Midnight. * It goes without saying that in season this store is always packed. Even coming here at 8am on a weekday will yield a fairly busy crowd. * Lots of open registers and if you don't have their MVP card they are more than happy to let you use a store card or sign you up for a card of your own no problem. * Two minor potential downsides. One is that the deli here is on the small side. They don't pre-cut a lot of things and their selections in general are small. Hopefully you like their two types (generalized) of turkey because that's all your getting. My local Giant Store between their brand and Boar's Head has ?? eight types of turkey. If you're big on going to the grocery store and buying a bunch of grab and go meals/sides, not here, as those types of choices are more or less non-existent. Overall the store is clean and well stocked. If I lived in the area I would probably be shopping here. It's not fancy by any means but it gets the job done. Good enough for me.

They have good products and pay attention to their displays and prices so that it is easy for me to make my choices. But, the reason I usually choose this store is the customer service. I experience great customer service all the time. If I ask someone where to find a product they not only tell me but they walk me to the correct location. I order my groceries online and pick them up later in the day. With the exception of a few items, I get what I order and packaged well in heavy paper bags. The employees who bring my groceries to the car are always friendly and insist on placing the items in my trunk so they will not be damaged. I do pickup 70% of the time now. To cover all the bases, check out is smooth and I have even come to enjoy self-checkout. I literally have no complaints. Any dissatisfaction I have is easily resolved by both the employees on the floor and/or management. And, yes, I look for good things to happen and I expect to receive good customer service. This store does not disappoint.

I have supported this Food Lion for over 20 years but that has come to an end…read more My neighbor does an annual Thanksgiving meal prep for 150 needy families in Morehead City each year. Food Lion refused to provide the turkeys this year at full price. No discount asked. Last year they provided them but made it very difficult as though they did not want to support this PURCHASE! This store takes our local money but does not want to be bothered to do a simple act of community support and love. I will no longer shop here which I did weekly! I hope others will join me in avoiding store that will not support out community. Goodbye Food Lion! By the way Lidl offered to support the procurement of the turkeys and provided the greatest support my friend has ever received in his many years of this charity. Shame on you Food Lion. I'll do everything in my effort to let people know what a money grubbing retail store you are. Sorry the Landlord has to be any part of your behavior. Happy Thanksgiving All! MHC Strong!

I was very excited to stop at the Piggly Wiggly in Beaufort. There was one in my town when I moved,…read morebut it closed soon after, and I always liked the store. This is a smaller grocery store that is clean and well-organized. I thought the prices were pretty good and was planning to stop back to shop on my way out of town, as the prices were less than I was used to, and I wanted those deals. This store carried items I hadn't seen before. But as it is smaller, the brands they carry are fewer than I am accustomed to, with a lot of the products. And other products had more selection than I could imagine, so maybe they order just what those who shop there want. I wanted to try the breakfast in the restaurant inside the store, too, as I really enjoyed my burger and fries. It will be my first stop in Beaufort on my next visit.
