    This new Safeway that had been under construction for more than a year is finally open. It's on my way home from work, and on the right side of the road unlike the Giant further up the road from here. Parking: when heading west on East West Hwy turn right before you pass it and enter the parking garage. Today there was an attendant directing you to go up a level. I think once the hubbub of the newness of this place dies down, there will be a ticket system. I recommend always going to the upper open air level unless it's pouring out. There's plenty of parking up there, and the entrance leads you in by the produce section. There is a sign that says 2 free hours of parking with validation. Who grocery shops for two hours? I guess they want to stop metro riders from parking for free. It is something like $5 without validation. So of course it was clean and well stocked for opening day. It was really busy, especially around the seafood counter. Crab legs were $4.99/lb. they really need a ticket system here. It was a mob scene. The lines were long and I think every line was open. There is no self serve line, but they have several express lanes. You form one line for these like most Whole Foods do, but... people were confused where to stand as the line snakes out. They need a roped area. The line started to fork, and I didn't want to get into a brawl, so I went to one of the long lines and waited... They have a Starbucks, an Asian food bar, and lots of ethnic foods. In the deli area, they have food from local local vendors. I bought a veggie samosa from a place called Nanas Kitchen. Haven't tried it yet, but for $2.99 it is worth giving it a shot. I was surprised that they didn't have anything special going on for their opening day debut. It would have been nice if they had special deals for this location only. I know the Safeway in Wheaton did. Maybe a grand premiere celebration is yet to come.

    Men's Bathroom by Starbucks inside Safeway. Talked to employee about the live electrical hazard and nothing was done.

    This is probably one of my favorite Safeway's in the D.C. metro area. I enjoy this location for a few reasons: Parking - free garage parking w/o a stamp needed for validation. Produce/Flowers - they literally have the largest selection of fresh produce I've seen. They have a ton of chopped and packaged fruits and veggies. The fridge also has "healthy" juices and organic spinach/kale cartons. Their flowers are always fresh and pretty... great selection of $5 flowers. Hot Bar/Deli - the deli area has a nice selection of fresh meats and sides in addition to the refrigerator of pre-made sanwhiches. They have a sushi chef who puts out fresh sushi in the morning. They even have two hot bars if you're looking for cooked lunch or dinner. Now to the things that prevented me from giving this location 5 stars: The Staff - the staff ALWAYS gives me a hard time about something, rather it be a coupon I'm using or my deli order being incorrect. I've had a couple bad experiences with attitudes and such. Flow of the store - I spend more time than I should in here because the isles are set up so weird. I have a hard time finding what I need right away, especially in the first few isles by the produce. Not to mention, the dairy products are on the opposite side of the store, past the registers, in a long refrigerator. The bakery is in the back corner as well.

    Saturday night, 10 pm: one cashier & no self check-out lines available.  Over 15 people waiting in line-customer "satisfaction" at Safeway.

    The new Safeway is disappointing. Yes, this area was sorely in need of a new grocery store, and we've been waiting for this Safeway to open for....roughly 8 years now? (the construction on the store was supposed start before the great recession hit). Still, I've experienced much better- here's why: Service: slow and mediocre, which Safeway is known for. Checkout lines are consistently long and slow; checkers haven't been trained very well. I know a lot of them are new, but the company, which is actually Albertsons, didn't take the time (or money) to train them so they can get people through the lines quickly. Thus, you usually have a 10+ minute wait to purchase your items. BTW, the Greenbelt Safeway isn't much better, and that's been there for decades, so I don't see this store changing the long lines issue any time soon. P.S.- where are the self-check out registers? Wake up, we're in the 21st Century Albertsons executives!! Prices: high. Higher than Giant's prices down the road, higher than the Greenbelt Safeway. A 59 ounce container of Tropicana Orange Juice is about 70 cents more expensive than comparable stores. Deli meats are higher per pound, miscellaneous items like soap, and other personal hygiene items are expensive. Ice cream is higher. Store lay out: it stinks. Even when the place isn't busy, certain areas like the sandwich counter, deli counter, pharmacy area, and (of course) front area where you wait forever to check out, are crowded and difficult to navigate with a cart. The vertical aisles are narrow also. They simply packed too many services and products in a large but not-large-enough store. Shame on you, Albertsons!! The overall ambiance is also not very conducive to a pleasant, enjoyable shopping experience. Everything from the flooring to the shelving is too pale. Even the lighting is not inviting. They did a lot of cost and corner-cutting on the store atmosphere, and they'll regret it later (i.e.- interior rehab. in 5 years). So, I won't be shopping here unless I really need to. And this store better improve, because when Whole Foods, Lidl (sister of Trader Joe's), and possibly Harris Teeter opens up this fall and next year (or even "years"), shoppers will wander. There's little customer loyalty in the grocery business unless you have an outstanding store with excellent customer service. The new Safeway doesn't even come close to either of these!

On a Sunday afternoon after having a late lunch, I suggested we come here and enjoy a beer. My mom doesn't drink but she was open to accompanying me here and just hanging out with me. This spot is chill and they have a lot of beers on draft and a bunch of different styles. If you like craft beers, this is a nice laid back spot to enjoy them. They have also added a bunch of bourbons too and you can get 1 oz pours too. Neat-o! It was colder yesterday with a cold breeze so we sat inside. I ordered a Lil Wit beer and we sat inside at one of their many indoor tables and chatted. They have a few lottery machines here and my mom enjoys playing some of the games so she bought a few cards and we scratched them off together, checked to see if she won or not, talked, laughed and had a fun time. On a really nice day, you can sit outside and they have a great patio space and also covered areas too. This is a popular spot amongst locals. I immensely value the time I have with my mom. And its great we can come here together, enjoy a beer and shoot the breeze!

On a warm spring Friday evening there was live music, lots of people sitting outside and enjoying the vibes. We actually sat inside since outside was so crowded. Since this place doesn't have food, we got food next door at 2Fifty Texas (love them by the way). We did somel bourbon tastings. I discovered a new bourbon that I really like, Peerless. Parking is tight around here but we parked in the lot across the street.
