The cashier was totally awesome and this location has a better variety of everything than the other location in Summerville. I've also never had to wait long to check out. I had actually gone to the other location bc I had a craving for creamed chipped beef but they didnt have it so I found myself going to this location and they have a much larger variety of frozen meal options. I know I spoke of the better variety twice... that's just how much I prefer this location read more

I have been a loyal customer of Food Lion for over 10 years at this location. Despite a general reputation against all Food Lions, I have found historically that this store is cleaner, better stocked, fresher produce and cheaper prices than the local HT and Publix. I rarely have to worry about them being out of stock when competitors can be out for weeks. My experience has changed pretty drastically in the last year. Cashiers are rude, no one recognizes who their regulars are anymore, the produce is moldy OR they remove the moldy parts but keep the whole strawberry container at the same price. There was a carton only half full yesterday. Last week it was missing enough that I put it on the scale to weigh it and was not going to pay off season prices while they took food out of the container. Last week someone was eating behind the counter where they make the chicken, in their hair net and everything. The store was still stocked enough, always clean and the produce was OK (knowing how bad it is at HT and Publix) that I ignored the clear decline in this location. Until this past weekend. I went in with my children, and my son was getting a cart for groceries. The store employee, Mathew, was bringing in carts from outside and rammed the carts right into my son. Then he just looked at him and me and said nothing. Absolutely nothing, with his head phones in his ears ignoring the fact he just hit a customer with a long line of carts. So I said something and he still just stood there. Then we went to the produce, where we chose to not buy half the things we needed because it was not fresh and then the apples are bad on the inside that we did buy. It's apple season. There is no reason for rotting apples other than someone else is running your produce department. I don't know what has happened here, whether there was a management change or what, but we are finding a new store. It just isn't worth their attitudes and rotting produce anymore. read more

I went into the summerville food lion & this man matthew was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best customer service ever!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Customer service here is awful. The manager (mask, braided hair) refused to honor Food Lion's own Twice as Nice Guarantee, saying it only applies to "defective" items instead of customer satisfaction. They also make up rules on returns (even with bad meat) and block coupons on sale items. Employees have nasty attitudes, don't greet customers, and even talk about customers after they leave -- very unprofessional, especially from a manager who should know better. This store's customer service is at its worst! read more

Ok, so some are biased against Food Lion because they are typically run down and not in the best area. Not this one. Although she's showing her age, the store is always well stocked and HAS THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS EVER! Yep, even better than Publix's recent dinosaur chicken wings made from a prehistoric hormone injected beast. FL usually puts them out around 11am through dinner time. If you catch them when first put out you will always come back! Everything else is surprisingly decent and their produce section is always well maintained. Meat is a little lacking but everything else is great. Go to stop for most quick essentials. read more

I used to like this store. The last couple of months, this opinion has gone the other way. It started with the restock carts being parked in the aisles and sometimes flat against the shelves so you couldn't get to some of the items. The produce department has really suffered. I haven't been able to get decent mushrooms in all that time. The potatoes looked dried out. I used to get several different types of Famos Amos cookies, now it was back to the original chocolate chip. I could go on and on but, you get my drift. read more

On May 31st, shopping at Food Lion on Main Street in Summerville, a woman in a motorized cart (store provided), knocked me to the floor! I was looking in the meat cooler and got blindsided. It was a shock; 2 people helped me up. A witness (I have his name and where he works) saw the impact. I'm 67 years old , have osteoporosis, this exacerbated serious issues. The store manager apologized. The customer and her friend left but never apologized. "Corporate headquarters' was going to contact me; that didn't happen. If you shop there you take your chances by not having eyes in the back of your head! I have grocery shopped for years and in several other countries but have never been assaulted while looking for a food item! read more

The management in this company, especially this store, is absolutely awful. I could never support this store after seeing the way the employees are treated and hearing things that were said to employees by "management". Disgusting disgusting disgusting place. read more

When I looked, reviews for this store are from 3 years ago. I shop there now and I have to say the service there is great. Everyone is pleasant and helpful and the managers will jump on a register if it is too busy which is not usual in most other grocery stores. They have great sales prices too and everyday low prices on good on staples you always need like milk, bread, eggs, etc. They will also discount produce that may be not so perfect. I can always find marked down overripe bananas for banana bread, a plus for my family! read more

As far as Food Lion's go this location is "A-Ok." I was able to get the basics I needed and the staff were friendly. Food Lion's are always good when you're in a pinch, but I don't find their selection enough to warrant regular weekly shopping trips. When you're in a jam and need something basic though this is a good location to visit. read more

Of all of the grocery stores in the South, I consider Food Lion to be the bottom of the food chain. It'll do in a pinch, but it is not the place I'd go to first if other options are available. That said, occasionally I can find a good deal or two. During this trip, I found Cool Whip for 99 cents, so that made me happy. The selection, though, is just okay, and the produce is often just okay. This Food Lion is in a part of town where a grocery store is seriously needed, so I'm glad they're there. I just wish the selection was there as well. read more

Love this Food Lion! The Cashiers are always so friendly, and the shelves are always stocked.

I would give no stars but it will not let me. No more Food Lion for us & I will be passing the word to my family & friends why. I just read a employee of Food Lion was told he could not wear American flag mask. So he quit his job. What a world we have become, he should be able to wear it (as well as a customer) would want to. He is doing no harm & anything wrong in that nature. Food Lion does not deserve any business from us. read more

The worse customer service I have ever received. Waited and waited to be checked out because only 2 lanes were open. They start checking me out when a different customer walked in front of me and wants to buy cigarettes. The check out girl stops serving me and starts looking for cigarettes for the other customer. Rude customer, yes, check out girl wrong for stopping serving me yes. Store manager standing there watching it all go down and doing nothing wrong also. Left my items there and went to a much nicer store down the street. read more

This is the worst store for customer service with anybody who is handicap. They don't help with loading your bags into the scooters, they don't even take them off the register before the next customer items are on the belt. Cashier Sierra needs to be spoken to about being customer friendly. The customer behind me helped me put my groceries in the scooter and apologized for the cashier. Then I got to my car and the cart attendant just stood their waiting for the scooter and didn't offer to help load into the car, another customer saw what was going on and she help me put my groceries in my car. I just moved here and will not shop in this chair store again. I have now gone to Publix's across the street. What a customer friendly store they are. read more

Disgusting. Never ever buy any perishable food item from this store. I have known several people who used to work in the deli and they tell me horror stories about the woman who manages the department. I have been told that customers complain about the department constantly but management does not seem to care. I once saw deli woman taking labels from her mouth and sticking them on food items. Disgusting! read more

You always seem to shop close to home because its convenient! So for birthday cakes my family gets them from food lion. The first screw up they did the wrong flavors, but I had no time to argue before the party. The second time I ordered for school birthday party it was the wrong character but daughter was fine with it, what else could we do we needed them that day. THe third time they didn't have my order, didn't apologize...AND didn't offer to make it again. So in a panic I called up Publix, Explained to them what happened. Not only did they make it for me in three hours, but they gave me a price break because of the anxiety I went through. I am now a publix customer for life on my bake goods. Food lion I will continue to shop but I will not use their bakery!!! read more

I have immensely enjoyed having Food Lion nearby and have greatly appreciated their food selection and always pleasant customer service and would be devastated not to have them so close to my home...thanks for being so roar-ific! read more

I don't know where some people get off condemning the Food Lion on Central Ave. in Summerville. The employees have always been most generous with me. I have to use one of the electric carts in order to shop and they unload it at the counter, assist me to my car and even load everything for me. I like the fact that the front of the store is not jam-packed with barricades of soda like other stores. I have found it to be easy to drive the cart down the isles. Maybe the people who have a problem with the service should consider that it might just be their attitude toward the employees that causes any problems they may have. Some customers can cause their own problems. Be nice and get treated nice. I just wish they had a call ahead system so I could order online and pick up at the store. read more

I think this food lion is clean bright and nice I like this store a lot they always have good deals I've never used the deli but the produce is always fresh I enjoy shopping at this store read more
