This review is for the floral dept: I found magenta carnations that were in great shape, and Jan (the florist) was kind enough to wrap them for me. She added matching ribbon, and we ended up with two beautiful bouquets for a dance recital we are attending. Thanks, Jan!!! You saved the day, Giant. Keep it up! read more

Ordered online grocery pick up. Please don't judge. LOL. Shantama (sp) who delivered groceries to my car had a sunny disposition and greeted me with a big hello and asked about my day. So pleasant! Was gonna ask if she had change for a tip and just gave her the whole thing. Thanks so much! My order was correct with no substitutions which is rare. read more

This store is fantastic. Christine the General Manager has taken care of a number of problems. My mother sent me to get salmon and they were out. I asked for the organic at the same price and Christine told them to give it to me. There was another time I bought fish in a package that was too thin to cook well. Kimberly at the fish counter thanked me for: "giving her the opportunity to make it right." Kimberly gave me a far bigger and truly beautiful piece of salmon for free. I intend to be a customer for life and encourage you to do likewise. read more

Giant - a piece of salmon on a pan - Grocery Near Me - Potomac, Maryland

A very good Giant Food location. The staff are very helpful and nice. The selection of food is also good. Only one thing; I wish they would update their exterior to match the rest of Cabin John Shopping Center. However, that obviously does not affect the fact that this is still a very good Giant Food location and I am glad it's at Cabin John. read more

Live in the neighborhood for years and have seen the quality and variety of their products decline here... we used to shop here very often, but now only come here for last minute grabs. Even then, the options are often times very limited. The staff are very friendly and helpful, which is mostly why I'm giving 3 stars. It's located in a prime location, so I hope that they have plans to improve! read more

As a long time loyal Giant customer, including at Cabin John both before and after the renovation, I want to give this store positive reviews. And there are good things to be said such as convenience and helpful customer service. I doubt that I am the only one who has noticed a definite decline in the amount of fresh, high quality, unpackaged produce, particularly vegetables. Management seems to be having difficulty keeping the produce shelves adequately stocked. Also more and more meat, poultry, and deli products are encased in high tech packaging, vacuum seals, laminates, etc., which obscure visual evaluation of the product. Clearly the trend is toward packaging (and barcoding) everything. A disappointing customer experience. And why no spring flowers at this store? read more

This is a medium size Giant store in the Cabin John Village plaza in Potomac MD. The store is very attractive inside & out. The parking lot is quite sufficient for all the businesses here. The store had a constant flow of customers while I was there on a late weekday afternoon. The produce and organic produce at this Giant store is plentiful and fresh! This has been a problem in January 2022 at some Giant stores. The dairy & meat items were also well stocked. The ice cream section was a little smaller than the bigger stores. They open early at 6 am. The displays are attractive & full and I had and saw good customer service. The experience was a positive one. This store has the usual services including Redbox, PNC bank, grocery delivery & pickup, gift cards, self checkout and more. I have but one complaint about Giant stores. A few of their best coupons like those for grapes require a total purchase of $25. Until Next time be kind to each other. #giantfood @yelpdc #freshproduce #dairy read more

See all

So the solution center says it opens at 8am but I waited at the counter for 20 minutes while asking if anyone was going to work on me but no one showed up.its very annoying to get up early in the day trying to get help only to get none. Very unreliable. read more

A regular Giant that we go to only as a last case option - if we are near it and want to grab something quick. Let me rephrase that - if we want to grab something (strike the quick park). The quick part never works, even if we are buying just the one item - the checkout lanes take forever to process and a quick in and out never ends but being quick. And parking can be hard to find at this shopping center. read more

I think this is the Giant I shopped at, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyways, I came to get supplies for a mean vodka cranberry -- meaning lime of course. There was one big bag of limes, and one lonely lime sitting there. I chose the lonely one, but still, where could all of the limes have possibly gone? Perhaps our markets in Michigan are simply superior to those in Maryland. Perhaps. The fruit (I purchased a package of blackberries) was either molded or rotten. Yuck. I would go here in a bind . . . if I ever moved to Bethesda (2000NEVER) . . . but maybe a Whole Foods would be better. read more

Warm atmosphere with helpful staff. Can usually find everything you want. Everyone willing to help find items. Number of checkers usually appropriate, but they should staff the "Fast Lane" (less than 15 items) more frequently. Willing to obtain (order) items that are sold out or new. read more

Went here at 12:15pm Friday. They are NOT enforcing crowd control. Each square foot had a human body in it. Their poor employees. Do not go here. It was horrendous. Just hold people at the entrance until some come out. Other Giants are doing this. Why isn't Cabin John? read more

Good place to get basic staples for good prices. Nothing fancy, however. Store is looking a little worn because this strip mall is from the 60's, but space is clean and aisles are wide. Checkout is pretty slow because they don't have enough cashiers. read more

Compared to Giants in DC this place was heaven. I stopped in during the rain yesterday evening. It felt so open and organized and clean. The pastries and bread appeared fresh and not picked through. I didn't have to fight through aisles full of people and seriously, Giant crushes competition on price. read more

I always want to love the store...it's in Cabin John...so you think it's going to be low key. It's a small space, parking is a serious problem, especially now while half of the front lot is blocked off during construction. The CVS is very busy adjacent to it, however to clerks at the CVS are super nice....but I digress...back to the Giant...so when you are dealing with a small difficult space...what should an astute manager do....make sure the customer service is second to none! Sadly not the case here. So many frustrating things, they seem to stock shelves during the busiest times, middle of the day on weekends, you can't navigate the lanes, especially in produce. The clerks are...exhausting...particularly an older woman who always works the express lane next to the self check out....rude, rude, rude, clearly does not like her job. While we are talking about self check out , they routinely leave it without a clerk, so imagine how quickly that becomes an issue. We all want to bring our own bags, the weight thing goes off, the paper runs out in the receipt printer, people need help....you have to staff it and they don't all the time. I see a lot of older folks shopping in this center, so they move slow, don't drive well or Park well, and often need help. That combination spells disaster for this mismanaged grocery store. One bright spot is the special needs folks they use to collect shopping carts, super fun and talkative, always say good morning, and seem to work very hard! I think they are the only people happy to work there. read more

I don't understand Giant's view towards this store location. It is in a prime location and you would think competition from a much nicer Harris Teeter up the street would cause it to renovate/update this store. The store footprint is not attractive. Dark and poorly lit interiors. Dirty, old flooring. Chilled sections make you wonder if the health department has visited recently to confirm that the chillers are keeping food at the correct temperatures. Over by the deli, the chilled sections are half lit and seem to be barely functioning. I have never seen anyone actually remove a food item from these areas, which makes you also wonder about freshness, turnover and food waste. I hope Giant is planning on doing a renovation with the update of the rest of the center. CVS looks like a luxury retail space compared to Giant. read more

Terrible customer service. Never enough registers open. Store never seems clean. Difficult parking. Many better options in the area.

I love coming to this Giant because everyone is really friendly here. It's pretty much your standard Giant, before they added all the self checkout lines. This place looks just as it did ten years ago. All the produce I've ever purchased here has been fresh. Same goes for the baked goods. The only problem with this Giant is that it gets packed sometimes and parking can be a hassle. Other than that this is a pretty solid store. read more

I gave two stars for good products and some nice people. My big problem is the self-checkout area. 4 out of 5 times I visit the store, I have an issue of waiting in line for more than 10-15 minutes even though they have all 4 lines working. 1) People simply do not know how to scan things 2) People with 20-30 items go on here and spend forever 3) When help is needed, I find that the Giants lacks a person to provide the needed help. They always take a long time to respond to help request It's either one of those reasons if not more that I hate checkout systems at this Giants. I rarely have same issue with other groceries, even other Giants around the area. I think they should limit the items that customers can bring to this self checkout line to reduce the time of useless waiting for those who actually knows how to go through this lanes. Plus, I think they should have faster response time to help needed at the self check out registers. Also, they might need to open up more registers. Even though they have good products, sales, and whatnot, if checkout system is truly annoying and not getting any better, I think that serves as a good reason not to come this this store. read more

Aside from the lines always being super long, this Giant is actually the only grocery store in Potomac that has a Redbox machine. They have a variety of movies that get sold out as soon as they come out so make sure to grab yours quick :) read more

I would give 3 stars, but I gave 4 because the people are really nice here, except there is a creepy poultry guy who seriously creeps on me every time!!!! Anyways it is a standard Giant but I am disappointed in their bakery/cookies section. I love bakery cookies and I can never find good ones here. Also sometimes it is very crowded! read more

The staff is nice and the shopping experience here is superior to Montrose Crossing, the other Giant with which I'm familiar. I suppose the company cares a bit more about the demographic here? read more

Terrible customer service. Multiple times I have needed help finding an item and the clerks are very unhelpful. Go to Harris Teeter, a world of difference. read more

People are harsh sometimes. This Giant is not so bad. The staff have always been nice but I have to admit that it is a bit tight. I heard the mall is supposed to be remodeled...I hope they do the same to this Giant. read more

Shop here in a pinch for one-off needs since it's close to home, but the Giant in Potomac Village (Falls/River Road) is much better. Here, the fish counter area smells really fishy, which it shouldn't. The fish itself looks dried out. The produce is picked over, with moldy stuff sometimes left in the bins. The folks who work here seem very nice; Bill in the parking lot is friendly no matter the time of day. read more

It is your typical Giant. Good for some things, not so great for some things. Most folks working here have been here forever. Bill W. out in the parking lot is the best. read more

I shop here because it is close and I am too lazy to go anywhere else. There are never enough cashiers available. How long will it take before they realize that most people prefer a live cashier and do not like self check out. There are often problems that need a live person available anyway, meanwhile the line keeps getting longer. On the other hand the self-checkout machine does not look tired and over worked. In this respect, Teeters is far better; come and think of it, it is better in more than one way. They mysteriously stop carrying popular products. The Giant brand seedless mandarins have about 5 seeds each. Most Giant brand items are inferior to other brands. Not enough people at the deli. Not enough people at the meat/fish counter I have thrown out one third of some fruit purchases. The rest rooms should be condemned by the health department; honestly the worst I have seen. But I have never had a problem with the paper towels. So it's not all bad. read more

This store is just not the same since Gary (the previous manager) left. Items that seem to be popular (and that I like) are replaced by others all the time. They ask you to talk to so and so, but if you leave a message because they're not around at the time, you never get a call back. When Gary was the manager, they would always call back and would try to get the item again (or at least you would get an explanation). Some of the meat also looks bad (why is it still on the shelves?). The people that work there and that I have seen there for years are the saving grace. They're always ready to help and it's nice to see their friendly faces. Hope this store goes back to what it used to be. read more
