According to Wikipedia, this is the largest Harris Teeter (in the world!), and I'd like to think that some of the quality items in it that you don't find at typical grocers are thanks to that claim of massiveness. Produce is usually nice, and while cheaper can be found up the road at SuperG, the veggies and fruits from HT do seem to have more longevity. Shop here for the specials and the HT-brand items, though, because there's a lot of things that in the last four years here have just shot up in price on even simple stuff like pasta. While the fact that it is open 24-7 is great (for 4AM exciting adventures that aren't at Jan's House?), be sure to try to make it in during the day and hit all of the free samples. It's like a miniature meal, if you do it right. read more

I love this Harris Teeter aka Taj ma Teeter. It has nearly everything! Such a pleasurable shopping experience. Two thumbs up! read more

I didn't know anyone else called this place Taj Ma Teeter -- thanks Yelp for taking away my one claim to fame. To say this place is big is an understatement. To wit, I quote Douglas Adams, if he were writing about the Teeter. [The Friendly Center Harris Teeter] is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to [the Taj Ma Teeter]. That said, it has whole foods, wine, hot, cold and sushi bars as well as a Starbucks. There's a ton of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a plethora of prepared foods. Perhaps it's my used-to-NYC-prices self, but I didn't think it was that expensive. It's also next to Friendly Center and the movies so you can get a whole afternoon of errands done and only park once. Except you're in the South, which means that if you have to walk more than 10 feet to your next destination, you're driving. Well, if you didn't mind walking a normal distance, you can park once. read more

Dear Harris Teeter of Friendly Center, You were my favorite grocery store for 24 years. I remember your first incarnation; I remember when they tore down the Burlington Industries building to make room for your larger, better brother. I remember many late nights cruising your aisles, goofing off with my friends...when we were 16. So many fond memories, Harris Teeter. I live in New York City now, and I want to let you know....I miss you. I miss your huge aisles and lofty ceilings. I miss your huge selections of produce. I miss your wine section, which alone is bigger than my corner bodega. I miss your giant shopping carts, and your impossibly friendly cashiers and baggers. I miss your hot and cold bars, which are both yummy and reasonably priced. I miss your VIC card deals. I miss the Starbucks inside of you, which was also staffed with some of the nicest people I've ever encountered. I miss you, Harris Teeter. Whenever I'm walking through the cramped aisles of my local low-ceilinged Manhattan grocery, I think about you, and it hurts my heart. Love, Kate The existence of a store like this Harris Teeter makes me doubt whether or not I should've moved to an urban, Harris Teeter-less area. For serious, that's how real my love is for Harris Teeter. read more

I work right around the corner from this Harris Teeter. I went in one afternoon to grab a few things for the office, only to discover that this HT was much more like a Whole Foods than anything else. They have a full-service lunch bar with all kinds of hot lunch items, like salmon, fried chicken, and vegetables. They also have a full bar just for Asian inspired items (and the fried rice is great). There's a salad bar, sushi, sandwich station, and pizza. The workers there are generally very kind and helpful, particularly at customer service. My only complaint is that the worker who mans the lunch register is never friendly, and I walk across the store to the regular registers just to avoid her. A lot of the reviews I've read ding HT for being pricey. It certainly is, but I'd rather pay slightly more for fresh produce and meat and have a good shopping experience than fight tons of crowds and walk through dirty stores to save $.10/lb on potatoes. read more

I didn't think a grocery store could top Publix...until I tried Harris Teeter. Oh.My.Goodness this place is fantastic! While I didn't have time (or need since I'm on a business trip) to do a full fledged grocery shop, I did check out a few parts of the store. The hot/cold deli looked decent. The bakery looked great. The sushi looked more fresh than the average grocery store sushi and a few items caught my attention so that's what I decided to try tonight for dinner. For grocery store sushi, it's very good. A much much better assortment of rolls and sashimi than most stores would even bother with. Having a cooler of assorted 20oz beverages will incredibly handy. I'd love to go back and really explore this store a little more because I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. But, as the Terminator said: I'll be back. read more

Harris Teeter's prices vary wildly from place to place, so sometimes I gauge pricing by looking at yogurt prices because it's supposed to be fairly consistent among multiple regions. However, Harris Teeter tends to be among the more high-end grocery stores (but not as outrageous as Whole Foods, of course), so obviously, its items are a bit more expensive. But above all, the store's specialty is grocery. That means that its prepared food isn't that good, unless you're looking for something around the level of public-boarding-school cafeteria Chinese food. Apart from their hot bar, the store itself is actually very nice. I read somewhere that this store is supposed to be the largest Harris Teeter in North Carolina, but I'm not sure how I could confirm that. read more

Open 24 hours. Location offers large variety of flesh-free options for those of us that are plant powered from garden section and frozen. Thanks HT! read more

Wonderful store. It is always clean and well stocked. The only issue I have had at the store is during double coupons when the shelves are completely empty for certain products. read more

BEWARE THE PICKUP SEVICE! We've used the pick-up service several times now, and more than once, they've given us old bread, and loaded the groceries with fragile items like chips and bread under heavy things like drinks and watermelons. If I wanted flat bread, I'd have ordered pita and I'm tired of paying high prices for dust that used to be chips. They're either untrained, incompetent, don't care or a combination of the above. read more

The hot food breakfast bar used to be my favorite, but, if you don't get there before 9:00 am the bacon is gone. Then I leave with nothing!

I really love this Harris Teeter and have been going here for a long time. The workers are very friendly here but I have had very negative experiences with the people at the Sushi Bar. They are extremely racist. When I made a request for sushi with just avocado and cucumber, they just looked at me and started talking to each other. One of them made the sushi and just handed it to me without saying a word. I said thank you and they said nothing. I have seen Caucasian customers make a request and they were very friendly and talkative with them. I am a 22 year old, educated African American female who grew up in an upper-class home. I am not a thug, drug dealer, or any other stereotype that most people would place upon me. Their negative attitudes really turned me off and I will be going to Whole Foods to get their sushi from now on. The people that make the sushi at Whole Foods are VERY friendly and nice. I am always greeted and thanked when I request sushi from them. If you do not have white skin, I suggest that you do not buy sushi from the sushi bar at Harris Teeter because you could give your money to people who deserve it. It really disgusts me that someone could have so much hate for someone that they do not even know. I am thankful that I was raised better than that. I LOVE this Harris Teeter in general though, and I will keep coming back here. read more

I wish I could leave ZERO STARS. what is wrong with you at friendly center harris teeter? ? this is the third time I have seen moldy produce in the mark down section. do you really think anyone wants mold?!? and how disappointing to find that you also put out items that went out of date a week ago. I bought something only to find out once I got it home, that it expired a week ago. thanks a lot harris teeter. plenty of other choices to shop at, and I'll be choosing ANYPLACE but harris teeter from now on. thank your produce department for that. read more

OK, I am giving this store two stars grudgingly because they have a lot of stuff. Tons of stuff. If you need stuff, this is the place to go. God knows, there is so much crap here, that if you need something else foodwise, there is probably something wrong with you, and you should contact a physician to check for hormonal imbalances or something. This grocery store Sucks Royally. It used to be fun to go to---but, then the home office decided they they would make more money if they had more Stuff, and built a tacky, brightly lit warehouse from hell. Don't look up....it's like looking straight at the sun on the beach in June. Plan to go with either a guide, or a map. You will not be able to find a damned thing without help. Toilet paper? Toothpaste? When you can finally find them, the selection of crap brands can be overwhelming. Prices? They suck. Of course they do...who do you think is paying the rent on this warehouse from hell? You. Better get ready to pony up a couple of bucks for a lousy roll of cheap assed paper towels...and I don't mean the neato ones in the ad that can be wrung out and used to mop up after the local fire department either. The cashiers are still nice...except for one thing. They used to smile. Now they just look miserable....along with the customers. They stocking folks used to look cheerful. Not anymore...now they look as if they need a xanax just to get through the night. It's actually sad; I used to love this place. Now I do whatever it takes to stay the hell away. It's not all that easy either...since I was forced to move to Greensboro, this is the only store really close to me....and it just sucks. read more

Shopping at Harris Teeter is like buying namebrand fruit. However, the bonus card is free, the store is clean, service is great, and occasionally they have really good sales. Over-all, I think they're over-priced...but I like the sales read more

pros: the hot bars & their prices! the infinite selections the magazine corner with couches next to it cons: hard to drive in and out of it huge neighborhood grocery feeling is gone plan 30 mins just for 1 quick pick-up the starbucks there is a joke (then again it's a starbucks) read more

Their store has great customer service, I've always felt welcome and appreciated. Their deli and seafood departments are really great I usually get a sandwhich and a side item for 5.99 cheaper than most deli or fast food restuarants. Only thing that knocks them down a star is the prices are a little bit higher on the grocery Same items in Walmart is sometimes more than a dollar and a half cheaper. But great store with good sales and make sure you sign up for their e vic program it sends you emails on major sales that others aren't able to get by just having a vic card. read more

I came in today, and received prestigious service at the bakery. I ordered my friends birthday cake Carmen seemed overjoyed to place my cake order. After that, I went over to the deli to get a sub. Brandon made me a great foot long sub just the way I like it with extra pickles & onion! The sub and cake were reasonably priced! Great service I'll defiantly come back again! read more

Well, I'm moving away from Greensboro, and visited the Friendly Harris Teeter for the last time and was reminded that at this Harris Teeter "Friendly" is more than just a name. I think it's a nice grocery store, but most of all I've been impressed with the kindness and courtesy of the employees I interact with there. I'm sure all their employees have things they would rather be doing than working, but you wouldn't know by interacting with them. Thanks for several years of great service! read more

I like it. It's the Daddy Harris teeter. But thats what is good about it. You can get whatever you need. And its not that confusing. It's modeled like most Harris Teeter stores. Just bigger. And the pizza place here is excellent. Some of my favorite pizza in Greensboro. read more

Yes it is large! But you'll find just about anything you need from a grocery store there. Fresh produce, meat and fish products. A huge selection of wine. Breakfast, lunch and dinner bars (Asian, Pizza, Subs, Salad and a verity of other foods). They have fast checkout U-Scans, a great pharmacy and many other amenities. read more

It's a grocery store... clean, courteous staff, found everything I needed.

I'm in here three or four times a week and generally like the store worst thing about it is the deli people don't know how to slice meat ask for a quarter pound of ham and you get about 6 slices when you ask for it as soon as possible you might get 7 read more

As far as grocery stores go, this is certainly a very nice one and well above average for North Carolina, but for goodness sake, this place is so expensive it makes Whole Foods look cheap! Seriously, Whole Foods sells a lot of the *exact* same items FOR LESS than Harris Teeter and especially *this* Harris Teeter. Save yourself some money and marketing gimics (hello VIC card) and hop over to the Whole Foods instead. Better yet, go to a real Farmer's Market (not their silly brand name)! read more

Thank you for your 5-star customer service! We had made a purchase here and needed to switch out the method of payment, but our closest Harris Teeter is far from this one. At the other Harris Teeter, they were being obstinate and refusing to process the transaction. After an hour at the other location, I called Customer service at the Friendly location, and they told customer service how to process the transaction, they were still unwilling, but ultimately, due to the excellent customer service at the Friendly location, the customer service representative at the Friendly location convinced the co-manager at my local store to process the transaction, albeit begrudgingly. read more

Pretty darn good for a mainstream grocery store. Nice staff, decent selection.

The WORST experience ever at a Harris Teeter. My boyfriend and I went to get a cigar in celebration of our 3 year anniversary yesterday and "Reshona" was extremely rude, to start off, my boyfriend went there to ask for a cigar and she didn't even smile, just a complete blank stare of irritation. We asked for a cigar, and she asked for his ID. When I asked her if she needed to see mine (because some places do require both), she rolled her eyes and I was completely in shock. Bad day or not, there is no excuse for her to be rude like that. It almost made us not even want it. She walked off to get the cigar out of the shelf still with an attitude that she was not trying to hide, and acted as if we were an inconvenience to her day. Why give someone a job, if they do not want it? Harris Teeter is known to be one of the nicer grocery stores but I did not get that here, instead I got a rude employee who could care less. Completely putting a damper on what was supposed to be an amazing night. Unbelievable. read more

Harris Teeters I recently had a really pleasant shopping experience at Harris Teeters. While shopping at Harris Teeters at Friendly Shopping Center the other day I immediately noticed the peaceful ambiance,and the place was so clean and orderly. This was really calming and it put me in the mood to grocery shop.I tried a slice of pepperoni pizza from the deli department and it was delectable.The temperature was warm to perfection and the crust and pepperonis were fresh.It was truly a delectable as well as palatable experience.From there I ventured to the meat department,where I immediately noticed that it was also clean and neat.I ordered some lobster tails and crab legs, to which I can now attest to were very fresh as well as appetizing.I also visited the produce department,where I picked up some fresh artichokes and cabbage.From there I shopped for bread-only fresh and soft would do.Boy, let me tell you,my expectations were not let down! The meat attendants were so cordial and helpful.As were all of the stores' attendants for that matter.I found the entire experience immensely satisfying,even down to the parking.As I was checking out I noticed that there were several lines were open and being maned. So,checking out was a breeze.I will say that there was one drawback to my shopping experience at Harris Teeters,and that is,the prices of the merchandise is exorbitant! Overall,I can say I had a wonderful shopping experience,and I am eagerly anticipating shopping there again in the very near future. read more
