They had open pet chicken barbecue and pulled pork. Also, they are giving out free donuts (glazed or powdered cream) and lemonade. My hubby wanted me to get him a powdered cream donut so he was disappointed when I brought it home and there was no cream filling. Fortunately, the coconut custard doughnut that I purchased was amazing. They did not skimp on the coconut or the custard for mine. Since my husband did not have any cream in his, I took some out of my doughnut, and it was still plentiful. I also got us two chicken halves, and a medium size of the Amish macaroni salad. I purchased a medium of the crustless chicken pot pie for myself. We both loved our chicken. It reminded us of the smoked chicken at Smoky Glen Farm. He thought the macaroni salad was sweet for his liking but since I have a sweet tooth, I loved it. I gave him a bite to try the chicken pot pie and it reminded him more of a chicken dumpling. I would've enjoyed it more if it had a crust. It's funny that my parents have lived in Germantown for decades, and I never shopped there.

It's nothing special, but I almost always find what I need - on occasion there are things out of stock that I'm looking for, but not often enough to make a big difference. I have had a mix of interactions with the staff here, nothing outwardly negative, just generally unfriendly. BUT there is a gentleman that usually works in the dairy/processed meats section and he is always SO NICE and so friendly. Even when I come in at 6 in the morning on the weekends! Overall, I like this location, and I will definitely keep visiting (obviously with the 1 million check-ins!)

The food court inside Great Wall Supermarket used to be one of the best hidden gems in town. Every…read morestall had something special, steaming baskets of dim sum, sizzling stir-fries, rich noodle soups, fresh BBQ pork, and perfectly crisp scallion pancakes. It was the kind of place where you could wander with a tray, try a little of everything, and always leave happy (and full). Beyond the food, it had an atmosphere you don't find often anymore: a casual bustle, families sharing dishes, shoppers taking a break from the aisles, everyone drawn together by the smells and flavors. That's why it was such a loss when the owner closed it down. The whole community misses the variety, the warmth, and the incredible value the food court offered. It wasn't just a spot to grab a bite, it was part of our weekend routine, a place to bring visiting friends, a taste of home for many. Thank you to everyone who ran the food court for all those years. Your hard work and hospitality made Great Wall more than a supermarket; you made it a gathering place. You're dearly missed!

‼ THE RACISM I EXPERIENCED AT SAFEWAY IN GERMANTOWN WAS RIDICULOUS ‼…read more I experienced something yesterday at the Safeway on Germantown Road that I feel needs to be addressed. I was at self-checkout purchasing a sale item when the digital coupon was not coming off correctly. I asked for assistance because the advertised promotion was not reflecting. The seafood department "manager" came over to assist. She had her baby on her hip while working. Instead of apologizing or calmly explaining what was happening with the promotion, she cursed at me and said, "Btch, you got me fcked up," and then walked away. Of course I became upset and irate because I had just been cursed at by an employee when I was simply asking for assistance. The store manager then came over and told me, "If you don't calm down, I'm not going to help you." I explained that I was extremely upset because of how the seafood employee had just spoken to me. Instead of addressing what happened or resolving the issue, the store manager walked away. At that point, I walked out of the store. What makes this even more disturbing is that the self-checkout employee and another customer came up to me afterward and said they heard how the employee spoke to me. I believe I was treated differently and unfairly because I am a Black woman. I have experienced situations in Germantown before where I felt I was being treated as though I was suspicious or a thief, but this interaction was completely unacceptable. ‼ I AM CONTACTING SAFEWAY/ALBERTSONS CORPORATE AND I EXPECT THIS INCIDENT TO BE INVESTIGATED ‼ I want the employee's conduct addressed, I want management's response investigated, and I want the pricing/coupon issue reviewed as well. This isn't about getting a coupon. It's about how I was treated while trying to get help.

As the name suggests, there are specialty food items from all over Europe. While I saw some things like English teas, German cookies, and a few Greek items, it seemed like the majority of the offerings were from Eastern Europe. I think over half of the products had labels in Cyrillic alphabet with no translation on them in any fashion, so some things you just gotta know what it is or ask the staff. I saw a lot of things from Georgia and Ukraine, but I think I saw other products from that region (Russian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, etc.). The staff were very friendly, and cheerfully assisted me with some of the pastries we purchased. One had a nice balance of flaky pastry and fruit filling while the blintzes seemed a bit underwhelming. I also picked up a bottle of dessert wine and Children #1 and #2 picked out some candies that caught their eye. The inside is clean and somewhat small but easy to navigate. There is music playing (I don't know what language; I want to say Russian but in today's climate that could be a charged statement. Just want to say it positively adds to the vibe). Worth checking out, if you want to explore a product you might not otherwise be exposed to or if you want to find a specialty European item that you've been missing.

I also buy their muffins and breads. They have a sourdough bread that is amazing. The scones are really good too. Don't forget the lemon cookies, they taste like lemon meringue pie. Yum!

When I stopped at this Giant on Xmas eve eve I had no problems at all. Good stock, good selection, good prices. I was able to get in and out very quickly. Now I will admit that it was late that night when I stopped by ( which I consider a plus to be honest). I love grocery stores that are open late. I'd much rather do my shopping when I don't have to weave and maneuver around a ton of slow moving people with slow moving carts. Sorry, I'm on a mission, and that mission is usually timed. Definitely would stop by here again if I was in the neighborhood. Giant isn't my first choice for supermarket, but it's definitely not my last.
