Years later, this Food lion has greatly deteriorated. We tried the teriyaki chicken wings...and had to throw them out out because someone there decided to also douse them with hot sauce....Terikayi and tabasco??? YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Management should make sure that the foods offered and labeled are purely what they should be. Management should make sure that the American Foods sold are American foods; not spiced as someone else thinks they should be.

I went to get a RugDoctor to rent for a day. Food Lion could not find the key to unlock the machines. I was told that maybe "later". How could this be? This service is not a donation they are proving me, it is a service should be available to the costumer. Isn't? FL did not know about this issue? I ended going to Safeway. Loosing business Food Lion.

Clean store, with lots of options in every department. Some shelves were low (or lacking) items, especially in the produce department. However, the prices are good, and the sales are exceptional.

I've never heard of Food Lion until I moved to this area. This place has a great layout with a wide variety to meet your grocery needs. One thing that caught my eye was how great their produce looked! Beats your local Walmart by far. The place was clean with an easy to navigate layout.

For my gluten intolerant peeps food Lion has a nice selection of GF products. A favorite treat of mine are the GF brownies and chocolate chip cookies in the freeze at the bakery. It's a good place to pick up odds and ends. Kind service and clean shop.

The Lion found a way to go below their normal mediocre standards. Roma tomatoes were all rotten. Took a picture to show the store manager and she got the produce manager up to speak to us. He mentioned that there were now tomatoes in the back and hadn't brought them up yet. He brings the out in a cart to another part of the store where I was still shopping. He didn't bring a bag for me to put them in. His quote "I didn't think that all the way through!" My wife decided to jump in to tell him the produce is usually bad and asked if he was the manager. He said he was and made a series of excuses, such as bad refrigeration, store being renovated, not enough staff, etc. She said that those are not her problem and asked what he was going to do about it. He said "it's only going to get worse!" And the whooper was when he blamed us from keeping him from going back to his department to help other customers. Totally unbelievable. No apologies were offered, no plan to fix it, no refund was offered, just excuses. This place needs to get it together. Low prices equals low customer service and low quality.

I can't tell you how long I have lived here without visiting Food Lion. I assumed it was a discount grocery store with limited selections but boy was I wrong. Pod lion is just another chain grocery store that offers everything that Giant and Safeway offers. This location has a big parking lot. Although they share it with other businesses there's plenty of parking for customers. Once inside the store appears slightly dated. Prices seem inline with other stores in the area and I was able to get everything I needed for a last minute dinner plan. I didn't see anyone checking for a mask but everyone in the store was wearing one. I wouldn't shy away from the store but I probably won't visit often just because I'm use to Whole Foods and Giant. I have a perfectly fine experience here and you will too.

this is 2020 it all depends on management. right now it is bad. the store is fine. the mid level management is better than they deserve. the employees are good or bad. the bad ones are real bad. the good ones are real good. these other reviews are suspect to me because all the 4 and 5 stars are just about the physical space . the employees follow management

I love this location and miss it so much! I lived off Rockville Pike for 18 years and this was my home store. I saw this store go through many changes from Food Lion to Bloom then to Food Lion again. I now live in Germantown but I still take the commute back down to do my grocery shopping because the staff here are so warm and friendly and they have become accustomed to our faces over the years (wife, child and I.) I can guarantee that shopping here you will always receive a warm smile and helping hands.

I had about 15 minutes to kill before I picked up my food at Bangkok Garden and decided to hop into Food Lion real quick for a couple of fresh... anything. Because of Covid19, we've been eating a lot of canned, dried, and frozen foods and I was really craving some fresh vegetables and fruit. So that's what I did. I went in and I went ham in the produce section. I literally grabbed veg after veg after veg until I zoomed down the back side of the store, picked up some ground me and zoomed to the front. Good thing I accidentally went down the ice cream aisle. I swear it wasn't on purpose! Ended up with some burbon truffle ice cream and some whiskey chocolate ice cream too from Haggan Daaz. The store seemed very clean, the store wasn't crowded ( for some reason this store never is), and the plexi glass in between you and cashier was a nice little added layer of security. The produce I ended up getting was really great actually. The broccoli is great quality, I got collard greens ( the bunches were huge), and I also got some clementines and grapefruit which were both sweet and tart. Solid quality on the veg. Definitely might quarantine shop here again. Solid choice.

The store was picked over (as expected at this time) but a woman came and sprayed lysol as soon as I left the self checkout. Given everything going on, I appreciate their attention to disinfecting the area (for them and us).

Really impressed with this Food Lion! It was my first time in this store and the first time in a Food Lion in quite a while. I have to say they have upped their game on appearance and ease-ability of getting around. The store was clean and bright and welcoming. The employees were helpful and friendly.

I tried Food Lion for the first time this weekend. Pros: Clean, spacious, well-organized, decent prices, not very crowded Cons: Missing a few of my household staples (Goya olives and chopped garlic, Libby's pre-portioned veggie cups). The biggest con (and most confusing), is that you can't take your shopping cart to your car. I came to the store alone and am 7 months pregnant. After dropping $130 I walked out to find that they don't allow carts in the parking lot. Instead, I had to leave my cart full of groceries on the curb, go get my car and load it in by the front of the store. The bagger said it's because they've had problems with people not bringing them back, but I can't believe you could potentially spend hundreds worth of groceries at that store and then have to leave your cart unattended to drive your car up. It's just silly. Did I mention I miss Publix?

I have used this FoodLion for fried chicken and/ or large quantities of cupcakes. The employees listen to your requests then take care to make your requests perfect. They have made me look great many times. Through three different employers (companies) they have made each event a time to remember with great food and delivery on a deadline. Thank you.

I recently switched to Food Lion from Giant (Hungerford Dr.) primarily because the produce at Giant is such poor quality. Today (Sunday 6/2/19), at Food Lion, there was a very low selection of produce and some (green beans) in very bad condition. An employee who was unpacking more produce said he had just put out the green beans. He agreed they looked terrible. No strawberries, no asparagus, no normal sized yellow onions. Yogurt was on my list we buy 1 or 2% milkfat plain yogurt- there was none on the shelf - almost all was no-fat, plus only the big containers. Finally... the check out was ridiculous. I had a couple frozen items. There were 2 lines open. I chose the one with the smallest order. The checker was the most ponderously slow grocery checker I've ever laid eyes on. The person he was checking out kept looking at me and rolling her eyes. After 5 minutes I finally put all my things back in my basket and switched to another line. All in all not a good day at Food Lion. I'll give you guys one more chance.
