Food Lion in Wendell receives mixed reviews from customers. Some find it a great store that is well stocked with a good selection and friendly, nice people. The self-checkout is appreciated. Service is often described as friendly and prompt, with staff noted for positive attitudes. The store's fresh sushi is highlighted as very good and freshly made, beating competitors. However, significant criticisms exist. The produce is frequently noted as not good. A major concern is inconsistent stock, especially for meats like ground beef and chicken, with shelves often empty, particularly later in the day. This is seen as unacceptable, especially with competition nearby. The store sometimes discontinues regular items. Online grocery orders have also been problematic, with missing items and inconvenient resolutions requiring extra trips.
