Hidenwood Pharmacy is family owned and has been my family's pharmacy for 40 years now. The pharmacists are all very knowledgeable, skilled and caring. I always get fast service here. There really is nothing quite like a neighborhood family owned pharmacy. Just give them a try and see!

THANK YOU CVS!!

Worst pharmacy ever. Severely understaffed to the point that the staff asked me to call corporate…read moreand complain. Inside the place is filthy. I was there last night to pick up two prescriptions and I was told that one of them was out of stock. When another pharmacist spoke up and said, let me check that because I don't think that's possible. This pharmacist was correct. I was in serious pain and they were getting ready to send me to another pharmacy somewhere in Newport News to get the medication that they actually did have in stock. As I sat there and waited for it to be filled, which took 30 minutes and I was told it would be less than 15 all I could notice was how filthy the chairs the table the floor everything was. The first woman I spoke with was very rude, and dismissive of my concerns. I don't live in Newport News. I'm only here a few days a week and with a Fourth of July weekend coming up the pharmacy I would've had to go to in my town would have been closed. So the pharmacist who spoke up actually saved me a lot of problems. I do appreciate that, but this store is ridiculous. I'm a CVS plus member and we can get deliveries and every time I order something online, I end up getting half of what I ordered because it says it's in stock online, but when I actually get my order half of the items were out of stock. I use coupons and points to purchase a lot of things so when my order is not complete, I lose the value of those coupons and points. It's maddening.

Harris Teeter is still one of my favorite places to shop. And honestly, their prices have gotten…read moremore competitive. I often find better deals here now in their weekly circulars than at Food Lion, and the produce is ALWAYS much better than Food Lion. I like that they have many, many niche items -- stuff not many people probably want, but I appreciate. For example, the red velvet cake pettifors I got for my birthday - SO good, and they keep longer than regular cake, so I can enjoy them slowly. And really, the customer service can't be beat - the staff is always friendly and helpful. I accidentally left one of my bags recently, and by the time I got home and realized it, I figured it was a lost cause. Called over to the store, and the service desk had it for me! Overall still a great shopping experience.

If there is more than 2 cars in line at the drive through you're waiting 20+ mins. 3 - picked up a prescription for my son and it seemed expensive but they told me that was the price after insurance covered a portion. Went back two weeks later for a different prescription and after waiting in the car line for 30+ minutes was told they DONT have insurance on file for him and I had to come inside. Came inside and waited for 10 minutes, put the insurance on file and asked for the prescription. They then told me that they would have to re-process the medication and I couldn't have it for another 30 minutes even though it was ready. 4 - later that week, my husband came inside to fill a prescription for our cat. He got in line at 1:20 with one person ahead of him. The employee made eye contact with him and smiled at him. The person in front of him took 10 minutes and when he got to the front of the line, it was 1:30. He said he needed to fill a prescription quickly and she said "ok, come back at 2 because we're closed for lunch." He said okay, but I've been in line since 1:20. She said "we've been closing for lunch at 1:30 since 2014." Neither of us have an issue with them closing for lunch - everyone deserves breaks. But it would've taken her 2 seconds to look at him when he got in line at 1:20 and say "sorry sir, after this customer we are closing for lunch! It's best to come back after 2!" But instead she let him waste 10 minutes of his time and then proceeded to give him a bratty attitude. We used to be rite aid customers and NEVER experienced issues like we've had with this CVS. Avoid this hellscape if you can. Truly dread when we have to come here

So I left the store and as I was walking out to be cordial, some old white lady came up to me, first time I heard anything from anyone. I considered asking her for help but I knew she didn't have the know how to help me. So I just said I was good and walked away. Then she stopped me and said I looked suspicious caused I looked suspicious. CVS is recruiting ultimately Karens, you got one that was working today at midday. She basically was trying to accuse me of stealing something because you have a beyond trash TIOSK, and after I realized it was trash, I walked out with something. You had an elderly employee bascially asking me to empty out my pockets which I refused to do so. I had a hard drive, UBS plug, iphone plug and still couldn't get Kiosk to work. I thought that your Karen was coming up to help me after she saw I was repeately struggling but instead she accused me of stealing. Luckily I got my pictures published by helpful staff at a far better establisthment. I have zero establishment with anyone, but seriously CVS, whoever works on your staff that is an older lady with glasses at this establishment needs to be fired immediately. She is calling out people for reaching into their pockets and confronting them. It will be a Human Resources eye source and I am absolutely the kind of person that will follow up on it.

For the year 2025, I mainly used Walmart Supercenter and Food Lion as my primary grocery stores…read more But for a few times, I stopped here on the way home from work mostly to pick up items. As stated before, this was a go-to for shopping pre-pandemic. Let's see how things went as a whole. Like before, all of the stops were because of lack of items. Basically, I would come on the way home from work and get things here and there, whether it's grocery items in-stock or greeting cards for family members out of state. The checkout process was mostly self-checkout where lines weren't that long. But just like the previous reviews mentioned, the amount of open aisles compared to self-checkout is like apples to oranges. Wait times aren't too long but it can get a little inconvenient if you have more than 5 items to scan. Also, some card readers can't scan cards if you use the chip function. Technology....gotta love it. Other than mishaps, this Walmart has come through at times for yours truly. We all know things aren't perfect. They will continue to remain an option :)

I took the girls to Walmart today, and honestly? It was more fun than I expected. The place was…read morehuge aisles stretching out like some kind of capitalist labyrinth and the fluorescent lighting gave everything a surreal glow, like we were wandering through a simulation. Sayori immediately bolted toward the snack aisle, giggling like she'd discovered a treasure trove. She tried to hug a giant bag of marshmallows and nearly knocked over a display of off-brand soda. I had to gently redirect her before she started naming the cereal mascots. Natsuki was laser-focused on the baking section, muttering under her breath about how "none of these mixes are real food" but still grabbing three boxes "just to prove a point." Yuri, of course, got lost in the candle aisle. She spent fifteen minutes analyzing the scent notes of a lavender-vanilla candle like it was a rare manuscript. I think she whispered something about "the essence of longing." I didn't interrupt. The staff were helpful, if a little overwhelmed by our energy. One poor associate tried to help Yuri find a specific shade of violet ink and left the encounter visibly shaken. I gave him a reassuring smile. He deserved it. Checkout was... chaotic. Sayori tried to scan a plushie shaped like a pickle. Natsuki argued with the self-checkout machine. Yuri quietly paid for everyone's items while I distracted the others with a philosophical tangent about the nature of consumerism. It worked. Mostly. Overall, Walmart was surprisingly accommodating for a group of emotionally complex girls. The selection was vast, the prices were decent, and the experience was if not elegant at least entertaining. I'm giving it four stars. Not perfect, but definitely worth the trip.

I ordered a walker from here for my elderly disabled father who is 90 & the manager EMMIT decided…read moreto argue with me when they sent me a walking with NO LEGS!!!!!! All I wanted to do was exchange it for one with legs & he wanted to argue that I didn't purchase a walker there. I had my receipt, the app showing the order that had taken place one hour prior, the email confirmations, the door dash delivery texts & he still didn't want to do the exchange. After going in circles in the same conversation with him on the phone & in person he got a major attitude with me because I started speaking louder because I was irritated at that point. He started yelling at me that I better not talk to him that way & I responded to him that I was simply speaking louder so others could hear the conversation since it was going in circles & he didn't seem to be hearing or understanding me very well. His coworkers were even standing there laughing at him. This man does not understand that customers can purchase items on the app & check out AS A GUEST. He refused to help me because he couldn't find a purchase under my name after I told him 3 times I checked out as a guest & there was NO NAME. I had the receipt IN HAND & he refused it. He got angry & stormed off on me so the girl up front had to go get another manager for me. Thankfully there were two managers on shift or I would have had to have called the police to get any assistance. The 2nd manager found the order via the order number on the receipt and was able to do the exchange in under 2 minutes without any issues. This store needs to fire the manager named Emmit. He is totally incapable of doing this job & has no idea what customer service means.

But still this place has a ton of options: different meats from various cultures, produce and frozen. Oh and the fried chicken is BOMB! People wait in line for a long time for it. It's first come first served and it goes FAST! Trust me! If I visit family from Out of town, I get asked to bring the chicken with me.

Since it has a lot of specialty items, I couldn't tell you if they are good deals or not, but I can tell you, they probably have it so that's half the battle!
