Let’s just say for a big chain like Safeway this local is like a mom and pops. Friendly staff and Just for you app has great deal.

Few supermarkets make the five star for me but this one was close. My main complaint is the isles seemed very narrow to me. Associates stocking seemed to not really care about moving U-boats or buggies to let you through. There was nothing rude about their attitude. Prices were fair.

Safeway grocery stores and its affiliates are usually pretty consistent throughout the US. They usually have decent produce and grocery selections. They can be pricey though. Using their app helps save some money. Their grocery selections tend to depend on the local demographics. For example, this Safeway has a pretty decent latino grocery selection. The produce section was pretty picked apart. Overall, not a bad store.

I noticed that when it was time to check out, the number signs for human checkout aisles were not highlighted making it difficult to find an available aisle. It was obvious that the store was encouraging customers to use the self checkout aisles. The self checkout aisle would not allow me to use my own bags nor put soda packages in my cart (after scanning). The assistant was not much help. I had the assistant cancel my order and checked out at a human checkout.In addition, the produce department had very few loaded plastic bag dispensers. Also, signs marking products location are inaccurate.

I love Safeway and shop there often, however I will not be returning to this particular one. I have shopped there on a handful of occasions and its always the same thing, a staff that doesnt care to be there and youd be lucky to have one look you in the eye and address you. Forget about any kind of help. The second time I went I used the self checkout so I didnt have to deal with the cold interaction with the cashier I had the first time. The person providing help was sitting at the end of the aisle after checkout playing on their phone, he didnt even bother to look up at me. Makes me wonder how busy, or not, their loss prevention manager is.

Really need to clean this place up and get the staff motivated. Stock is sloppy and store just seems dirty. Only go there but when I have to

I use the store often and normally have no problem. Today I couldnt get the shrimp I wanted even though the fish man told me I had the right bag. I could not get a rain check very disappointing. According to the checkout person you no longer give out rain checks. Its not my fault youre not properly stocked I understand why offer a few day sale and then not have it halfway through the sale dates

Closest store to my home base. Excellent variety except for meat. Been almost a year in covid and meat selection is small compared to other large stores. On the plus side, they have a Starbucks

This Safeway I am giving 4 stars based almost solely on their Pharmacy staff I am horrible with names and do not like to describe people based on race so I will just say the tech I believe is a man in his 40s and the pharmacist you is a young lady who I will say are both friendly and most importanrly knowledgeable and upfront with any issues concerning your prescriptions and/or insurance. The store its self has a large clearence section and and a 99cent aisle but carts are horrible and must get an attendant to unlock bathroom so I wont say hood but it is what it is.....

Review №24

I feel like there is never more than 1 register open, so I use the self checkout option 90% of the time. They also run out of their sale items really quickly. Their saving grace is the staff. Theyre always friendly.

Review №25

Employees should educate themselves on where items are in the store. Every time I ask an employee where a particular item is located they tell me they dont know or tell me they think it is in a certain place and it is not. Other then that it is about what youd expect from a grocery store.

Great place!!! New store manager really fixed this store up - stocked shelves, clean store and improved service. I enjoy shopping here now. Its now better than their Housley Road store. Yet, they could use another cashier or two. Great job!!!

Couldnt find what I was looking for, 3 different employees, just kind of pointed, in the vicinity of what I needed, finally, 1 man behind the deli, came away from behind his work station, to help me find what I needed, 1 out of 4..and this was the third time Ive been there, since moving to the area. Also my last, this store needs employees that want to work, and want to be a help to its customers, not acting like were a bother to them.

Every time I go here the yogurt products are expired by 1 to 2 weeks its completely unacceptable. I work for my money only to buy something that’s already expired before I leave the store. I do not recommend buying dairy products from here.

Review №37

If you can afford to shop elsewhere, I recommend doing so. This location smells bad, much of the produce is in advanced stages of mold and rot on the shelves, several of the dairy coolers have doors that wont stay closed, and today I encountered a dried pool of urine in the middle of an aisle (so who knows how long it had been there). Pretty consistently bad.

Review №51

A few months pass and I come back to this Safeway only to remember why I stopped coming here. They consistently have less cashiers than needed. No reason there should be only one cashier working at 10AM on a Saturday. A quick run to the store to get two items takes 15 minutes here because I spend at least 10 minutes in line. The manager should be fired.

Mi
Review №52

Definitely one of the better Safeway stores Ive been to. Selection of fruits and vegetables is slightly limited (more organic heavy), but its all fresh and well-kept unlike many other Safeway locations. Surely this caters to the wealthy neighborhood behind it. Still the same great deals on meats and such though, and theyre very good about taking care of lines as soon as they get long.

I went here to grab a few things and I went to the restroom first. A young man had to open it but, he held the door like a gentleman but, he could see in the bathroom . I came out the stall but, what if I were fixing my clothes or anyone for that reason. He should open the door only not being able to get a view of who is in the bathroom. The other lady that was let in after me was talking to me about how he opened the door so far that he was able to see what women are doing. Where is the privacy? A woman should open the door if anyone is to get a full view it should not be a young man . It made me feel weord

Mostly clean. Shop sale prices. Just frustrating for seniors as the store tends to shift product locations frequently. Employees are knowledgeable and helpful, when you dont have to look for them. I would like to see a couple of Aisle Ambassadors one located near the front and back of the store with a distinctive uniform. Great job for a teen or retiree...

I love knowing the staff and where all the products are. Love having my own Starbucks so close to home. The pharmacy staff is incredibly knowledgeable too. This store has a more family feel rather than a Super Store feel to it.

The centre is more stocked with very fresh fruits thats my favourite. And has more variety compared to most outlets. That is what attracted me and since i left my former outlet i have never looked back. I am now getting value for my hard earned cash. Thanks to safeways.😄😄

A good Safeway, it works for the people who want to be near Annapolis but dont want the high prices of the boutique grocery stores. Its fairly average, but Im sure you wont be disappointed since youre only here for groceries. There is plenty of parking, which is nice.

Review №71

Sadly, this store is consistently understaffed so no matter the department or check-out you are left waiting. Worst still on two occassions I have bought chicken well within the sell by date which had turned. On a good note, the bakery does a good job which allowed for the second star. This is what a grocery store looks like before it dies.

Review №72

Dont know why there are so many negative reviews. Store looks good, seems to be better stocked than other Safeway stores in the are, and there were some great deals in the meat department! Not a lot of cashiers at checkout but the store was not busy so it wasnt a problem.

Review №73

Customer Service is terrible, when I ask about something, questions are not answered properly, I asked about discount stamps they give as promotional offer, the reply I got was I am tired of people asking about stamps all the time, I am glad this ending in January. My wife asked about a product they had for sale, the employee at the store showed too much attitude and did not explain about it properly, she just answered in single word yes and No for all the questions about the product.

Review №74

The last 2 visits here have been entertaining. 2 nights ago, there was a fight outside between a man and woman that went on for about 5 minutes. A month ago, Someone shoplifted an entire cart full of items and ran past me ( with the poor manager behind him) and around the corner. Being that I dont go there often, Im sure that these things happen all the time. Im wondering why they dont have an off-duty officer there.

Horrible customer service and rude staff! Only one lane open (20 people in it) forcing people to turn to self-checkout where there are 2 employees?? Every other item needs assistance so youre waiting either way and not a manager in sight. Imagine that... We will NEVER shop here again!

Review №83

Worst grocery store I have ever been in. The store is not well maintained or organized. Expect to wait 10-15 minutes in line to check out. Items are frequently marked on sale but are not discounted when you check out so then you have to wait in line again with customer service. Bottom line... dont shop here.

I have had to stop here on my way down Forest Drive, and I keep promising myself I wont ever again. The store is seriously understaffed, and the shelves not stocked regularly. The produce looks nasty, and the place just doesnt seem as bright or well lit as other Safeways. Honestly, I dont feel too safe shopping here, as there always seem to be some sketchy looking people loitering outside, like they are either watching you, or your car.
