If you've been to any Giant supermarkets before, you generally know what to expect here. This store…read moreis clean, has a decent selection, and while some items could use a more frequent restock, no real complaints. I really have to hand it to them on service though- the Giant couponing and discount systems can be tricky, and sometimes I'll just confuse brands because of similar coloring or design. The endless patience of the checkout and information desk staff with my many dumb mistakes is really noteworthy. They're crisp and efficient, and more than willing to humor me in my attempts to save a dollar. Also, there's a CVS nearby, and this Giant stocks nearly everything they have at significantly lower prices. With an easy self-checkout, if you're in the area and need a quick (or not so quick) grocery or household goods pickup, Giant is your best option.

This location is very spacious and offers a wide range of items, including pre-cooked meals,…read moreflowers, fresh baked goods, hot bar, and produce. While some items, especially the ready-to-cook meals, are on the pricier side, you can still find great deals with their private-label products. I really enjoyed the alcohol selection. They carry everything from casual everyday wines to reasonably priced bottles that are actually quite good. The section is well organized, which makes it easy to browse. They also have hard liquor and beer, so most people will be able to find what they are looking for. Another big plus is the number of self-checkout stations, so I did not have to wait in line. The parking lot can be a bit confusing and chaotic depending on the time of day, so keep that in mind. Do not forget to get your parking validated before leaving the store.

I've shopped at this Wegmans numerous times, both in person and via Instacart. Generally speaking,…read morethe produce here is fresh, reasonably priced, and the overall experience is unproblematic. I am part Russian and occasionally crave pierogi (vareniki); Wegmans is one of very few stores that sell fresh refrigerated pierogi (these are much better than the frozen ones). The last few times I instacarted these, I put them in my fridge and a few days later, after opening, I noticed they were moldy. One time I even put them directly in the freezer, and when I opened them they were moldy. I kind of gaslit myself and figured it was my fault for waiting too long to cook them. Well, yesterday I went to Wegmans in person and saw stocked moldy pierogis!! I mean several of the packages had visible mold. I cannot believe Wegmans is selling these, and clearly this is an ongoing issue for months. This really makes me question buying fresh food from Wegmans, given this wasn't a one off. Hopefully this is just limited to the pierogis, which is a specialty product that I assume doesn't have high turnover. Nonetheless buyer beware!! Wegmans, please fix!

I'm currently on a spiritual quest to find the best grocery store rotisserie chicken in the world,…read morewhich I have dubbed "Chicken Wars." Next up is Harris Teeter in DC, and a whole tissi ran $7.99. It ended up landing at 7.9/10, which currently ranks it 15th out of 40 grocery store birds I've currently tried. I ate this one in front of the White House which was pretty cool, although I had the yips when I was recording the video due to the sheer amount of people around. I did that to myself though so no complaints. I'm working on a website for the rankings to live, so stay tuned on that. LOVE YALL! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

I was looking for some for a birthday party and they had all flavors and colors.

Each carry a lot of healthy items and stuff that's hard to find. This one is located in Cleveland Park. Good selection even though it's not big. It looks about the size of other locations. This has a few aisles, and there's not much room to get through. It makes it feel crowded even though it might be empty. The prices here are pretty good. Fresh produce much fresher than at a typical chain. There's some very fresh stuff. I like this location because of the area. It's close to a Metro station. There's a plaza across the street that has some seats and tables.

The company has not been as great since Giant got sold off to a conglomerate from overseas. Having said all that, this giant is pretty good. It has everything you need.

If you've been in one Trader Joe's in your lifetime, you know the layout is pretty much the same…read more However, this is one of the largest of the few in the area I was in, which was on Wisconsin Ave. What sets this apart from where I live in Maryland is the fact that in Maryland you cannot buy wine in grocery stores or places such as Trader Joe's and on top of that the wine/liquor prices in Maryland are outrageous. Therefore, for that moment I felt like I was in heaven when I stopped in and saw the wine selections, my heart was happy, I felt like I was back home in Seattle, WA, and for those of you who have never been to Washington State, one thing you need to know is this, you can buy beer, wine and liquor very late at any grocery store, 7-11, gas stations and/mom & pop stores in and outiside of the city and that's why I was so happy to see Trader Joe's in DC had the option to shop for both groceries libations (wine). The staff members are always happy to help you find items, and customer service is always great, in my opinion. I love me some Trader Joe's, even if I'm not able to purchase wine at my local Trader Joe's, or not is still my favorite place to shop for my groceries since I eat the same thing I already know how much I'm going to spend on griceries. and I will take the drive. However, now I will make the drive to DC to do both when I can. After all, I'm a road warrior. Again, this is just my opinion and experiences. Love U!

I regularly go to the Glover Park location so am quite familiar with the layout, but I must say this location is spacious and even when it's busy, it's rarely overwhelming. Also the staff here are what makes this location so great! They are always so friendly, fast, and efficient! I have been to other locations where there was a lack of friendliness and efficiency, and these qualities really make the difference. Trader Joe's also still manages to have reasonable prices in DC which I appreciate. Lastly, they have free parking which is always a bonus.

The staff and customers are friendly and neighborly, just such a pleasant break from the brisk and impersonal supermarket experience. Go there often.

He was unbelievably more rude when I picked up my sandwiches. I asked what some special sauce was and he said idk. I asked if he can find out. He said ask them and pointed to the sandwich makers. I would rather find another place with better customer service + good sandwiches rather than deal with a rude person at first contact with a deli.

Overall an OK stop for a sale or convenience pick up but wouldn't do a big grocery haul here…read morebecause of higher prices. It's a smaller sized grocery store compared to some so may have less selection. Has a fair sized parking lot. Newer self checkouts have made the lines go a bit faster. Prices are higher here but sometimes sales & coupons from the app can be good and I regularly see meat products marked down on manager discount as well (but maybe because of dates). Also has a deli counter & a raw seafood counter.

I've been now FOUR straight Mondays and no roasted chicken. And, every SINGLE time I ask when more will be ready, they always say 30 to 40 minutes. I literally waited the 40 minutes two weeks ago and came back to the deli and the deli staff person told me (different person than 40 minutes ago) that he just got in and it would be 30 to 40 minutes!!!! I go at 3 pm, no chicken, i go at 430, no chicken, i got at 530, no chicken. When there isn't the "deal," there's always roasted chicken, but on Mondays, there's "30 to 40 minutes." Bait and switch much?!? This time, i talked to the manager (just arrived on shift today at 530) and told her that this keeps happening. She walked away from me as I was taking to her TWICE. I asked for a rain check since this is the 4th straight time and was dismissed. They actually don't seen to care at all. And it's always the same deli staff telling me it'll be 30 to 40 minutes. They know me by now but don't seem to care about this. They have the fried chicken and the habenero chicken, just never the roasted chicken. My daughter loves the roasted chicken, but not on Mondays I guess.

I love the eclectic feel and the friendly, personable staff. It's generally clean and organized even if the layout is hard to follow. I appreciate the variety of ingredients I can get here, from fresh nopales to cashew milk to tamarind to canned ackee. The huge number of fresh tortillas, both flour and corn, is also awesome. The only thing that would make Avenue better is a more diverse selection--it's missing some basics like nuts and tofu and fresh herbs (besides cilantro and parsley). If those gaps were filled this would be my regular grocery store!

You can also purchase beer and wine at the market. Limited amount of "health food" items, but you'll find soy, almond and coconut milk in frig. If your looking for ice cream, the selection is pretty limited. But if you're srsly jonesin' , you'll find something in the way of Breyers, Turkey Hill, Greens, and a random "premium" pint here and there.
