Today I experienced my first ever racist encounter when a cashier (she said her name was Marie, wasn't wearing her name tag) at the Food Lion in Lorton Virginia refused service to me by lying and saying she was closed. After going into another line I noticed that she continued to serve other customers that weren't minorities. I was specifically sent to her line by one of the front end people. I spoke with their store manager, but we will see what if anything to the employee. I do not plan on letting this slide! You should be ashamed of yourselves for hiring such people. Everything is on camera and I have contacted the corporate office regarding this.

My experience at this food Lion was perfect, the employees were so helpful, especially this you man named Kwasi that helped me with everything I needed.

This is my first grocery store experience in Virginia. I moved here from Alabama where the prices were significantly lower. I know inflation is causing price increases, but my heart sank when the food bill for necessities totaled $175 when most products I purchased were Food Lion-brand. I signed up for the MVP card and the clerk was kind enough to use the store's card to help lighten the financial lid. It didn't do much. I think Aldi--six miles down the road in Alexandria--is incrementally cheaper for the same quality. But we shall see in the coming months. The staff, however, are friendly and genuinely interested in engaging in small talk. I appreciated that.

Pretty decent grocery store. This is not my main shopping place but they do have a decent selection of choices in this location. I have been here a handful of times, and it seems ok in general.

This is not my main grocery store but I have to say it's been handy to go to especially during the pandemic. Occasionally I couldn't find things in other stores (produce,milk) but I never have this problem at Food Lion. The staff is also friendly and helpful and I truly love the ease of self checkout. I just wish the prices were more competitive, otherwise I would go here more often.

It's an okay place to go grocery shopping. Prices seem a bit lower than what I've seen in its competitors. Selection is so-so: lots of empty shelf space. Staff is not bad, but also not especially friendly, helpful, or quick.

Actually impressed with this grocery store. I moved to Lorton earlier this year and have never shopped at a Food Lion before. Even though food lion is closer, I'd still go to Wegmans. Because of the pandemic, I've started using instacart and ordered from wegmans a few times. I've been disappointed with every wegmans order. The shoppers always picked rotten produce and a lot of my items are always replaced. So I decided to give Food Lion a go. They always find all my items, minimal item replacements, produce are always fresh, etc. I've been impressed with the food quality and service.

What an improvement from before. I stopped in here on 8-29-2020 (and several other dates too) for some grocery. The basics: milk and eggs. It's a complete makeover from prior visits. I love the new layout. Very open and more inviting. Wide selection of high quality vegetables, including cucumbers. Clear aisles. Clean floors. Helpful workers. If you look lost, they are willing to help. I'm making good use of the Frequent Shopper Program too. I really appreciate the changes that you all have made. Keep it up. By the way, nice selection of meats too. I will be back.

When the idiots were fighting each other for carts and parking places, and TP at the big box stores, I came to Food Lion in Lorton. The panic was in full bloom, but with the exception of some sanitizers, they were well stocked with everything; including water and TP. I have been using this store for over ten years. I recognize there are some areas that the bigger chains do better; however, if one is a knowledgeable shopper, Food Lion can be your best bet especially if time, convenience, staff helpfulness, store organization, and cleanliness are anywhere in your priority list. Bottom line, for Lorton residents and those close by, support our neighborhood grocery or in the future we may end up with the rest of the crazies fighting for parking spots.

Keep your money and shop else where! There are never enough cashiers working so you're only left with the option of doing self check-out. I came in with my two small children that needed a double cart while i shopped, but apparently so did their employee "Heidi". She tried giving me a hard time about using it because she NEEDED (and its hers, I guess she bought it) it to go around the aisles picking up the bacon and chips. Ridiculous right? Her manager had to be called because she was adamant about not letting anyone use her kiddie cart! I've never been more dumbfounded in my LIFE! PS, I took the dang cart as I am the paying customer! :)

Decent grocery store. Cashier's always nice, easy to find things in sure. I wish there were more gluten free pasta options but I can always find what I need when I come here.

How to review Coinstar? Well, you dump a crapload of change into the green box, and it counts it all out for you, then issues you a voucher to get CASH for all of that metal! THIS is a Godsend in this day and age...WTH has time to count and wrap all of that change and then lug it to the bank?? :)
