This Food Lions is located in the Riverwood Subdivision area of Clayton. I routinely travel to this one even though there is another Food Lion on NC42E closer to me. The Riverwood location has things that even higher-end grocery chains don't have. Lots of self checkout kiosks as well. If I need assistance, someone is always nearby and the wait is minimal. It reminds me of the old Bloom stores in VA.

I'm fortunate to live near two upscale grocery stores here In Clayton. I didn't really think I'd…read moreshop here as regularly as I do when this store was being constructed. Boy was I wrong. The store is always clean and well laid out. One of my favorite purchases is their beef tenderloin steaks and the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers. While they may not carry ALL of my favorites, they have options that are a satisfyingly equivalent. The workers are friendly and quite helpful with questions about product locations as well. Really nothing bad to say. They check all the boxes for a quality grocery store.

I visited The Grocery Bag to try one of their "almost famous" hot dogs. The convenience store and…read morerestaurant were doing a steady business on a Friday night around 5:45. I totally missed the "order here" sign but a person in the cashier line pointed me to it. There I got a hot dog with chili, mustard, and slaw. The woman at the cashier was very friendly and kind. I'm guessing she was the manager. The hot dog was ready by the time I got to the front of the line. Speedy service. I sat down at one of the nice wooden tables they have inside. The hot dog was...just ok. I'm a big fan of cole slaw and this dog just had a dollop on it and was pretty light on mustard. I wouldn't mind that as much except that I didn't love the chili taste. I can't put my finger on it, but the flavor was just not what I love. This place is super cute and clearly a local institution. I'd recommend other folks go by and try it.

Last thing in the world I want to do is complain about Lowes Foods in Clayton, NC. this location…read morehas been a good "go to" store for many years as we live relatively close by. Several complaints, all in 2026: Had to take back toothpaste that appeared it "might" have been opened and scotch taped over. No problem, the young lady was very helpful and took care of it. Great Customer Service. Some negatives: Four different occasions the broccoli crowns had grit/sand in them even after being washed. The worst part was the deli broccoli salad had grit in them, and this was unacceptable as this was a dish set aside for visiting guests. Could not eat it. Did not take it back but did alert customer service. Today 5/14/2026 was just the latest kicker. Picked up some "Cherry" labeled turnovers to take home. Upon taking one to sample, I discover that they were Apple. I head back to the store, receipt in hand and instead of replacing the box, I simply wanted my money back. $5.99 plus tax coming to $6.39. The young man attended to me decided that I should only receive $6.35 due to a penny shortage. How much trouble would it have been to simply give back to me $6.40? That does not even pay for the gas trip there and back and the hassle. Normally, I would just let this go, but I have seen this location "slipping' in my onion as of late. I can understand mistakes and forgive them easily, BUT I will not tolerate bad customer service. I have left out a few things, but this shall suffice for now. Thank you Lowes for being a trusted service in the past, but not this year. I endeavor to take my business to Harris Teeter on 42 east or the Walmart. I have had it.

Every single encounter I've had, the associates are friendly and fast. The last time the employee actually gave me a feedback card so I could "grade" her. She was fabulous, in my opinion. I went just a few days ago and it was slower than normal, but still not an inconvenience. It appeared that only one employee was handling the pickup and this was causing a bit of backup. She, again, was super friendly.

Ordered tires online , including mounting and balance through the Walmart website. Answered all the…read morequestions, and paid. When I arrive early this morning at the Clayton Walmart auto service center , where the tires were drop shipped , I'm told to take the tires to Discount Tire to have them mounted as they won't mount on aftermarket rims even though they're same size and material as factory wheels. I refused the tires and told them to return them since they broke our service agreement. Online customer chat service (offshore of course) was of no value. They refused to issue a receipt for the return or note it in my online account , only pointing me back to the store for paperwork (I didn't order from the store, but from the Walmart website). So today, Walmart has my tires, my money and the paperwork and refuses to complete the contract. Pro Tip: Go to a real tire store, not the Clayton Walmart excuse for a tire store. I guess there's a reason they had 8 service bays yet I was the only customer there.

When I have more time, I will definitely revisit and explore more of the inventory.

I stopped by Friday morning for the small wings and drums, I picked up a couple of other meat items as well. When I arrived home, I smelled this very vile odor. I inspected the wings and the turkey wings. They seemed fine. But, when I got to the pork pack, it was evident it was ROTTEN! The smell permeated my home, having to open the back door for ventilation and burning a candle to absorb the smell of rotted pork. Compare Foods, you should be ashamed to continue to sell your products at a reduced price for human consumption. If someone had consumed that meat, they would have ended up hospitalized or Unalive. It shouldn't be about how much money your store can bring in. It should be about QUALITY. I will be returning this ROTTEN pork tomorrow. I am absolutely disgusted.
