I began shopping at Food Lion on Plantation about a year ago. I had primarily shopped at Kroger but was getting frustrated each time I shopped at Kroger. I had attempted numerous Kroger’s and found the same issues that I was seeing at the Kroger I usually visit, rude or what appeared to be miserable staff, long lines, and being out of things on my list, especially produce.I finally quit shopping at Kroger because an employee, of Kroger, who I didn’t know, told me how bad it was.I have NEVER had an issue with Food Lion. The employees at the Food Lion on Plantation are friendly, helpful, and make me want to be there. I find myself spending more time shopping because the environment at Food Lion on Plantation.Ask for Jessica in produce. She makes you feel like you’re shopping in your own kitchen.
Let me tell you about my Food Lion...my Food Lion is awesome. Between the products they stock, the pricing and the people that work there it is all awesome! Im a new mom and if I had a full cart, whatever line I went to the cashiers would unload my cart for me. They are just wonderful to deal with!!
Aways cashiers xtra friendly.i love not having to never scan food items
Nice store. wish they kept the wing bar fully stocked. seems like they do a better job of stocking their shelves than hollins kroger
Always have what Im looking for. Easy to park & not crowded
Close, convenient, nice people and I find what Im looking for 99% of the time.
Food Lion has the best prices and not all of us are into club store like BJs but prefer this smaller, yet very well stocked and clean grocery.
Neat organized fully stock shelves friendly staff great customer service
Grocery shopping they have some good deals
This review is specifically for the bakery. Catherine/Kathryn (not sure which way she spells her name), but she is always so kind, helpful, and prompt. Any time I call to order a cake with short notice, she always comes through and does a great job. Because of this, she will always be my go-to.
They must be good, a lot of empty shelves.
Out of some things not too bad
Always out of the Starbucks (small cans) doubleshots. Why??
I really love them prices on the meats that they sell they look fresh and clean. The store was clean
Nice store. Very clean and always well stocked. Nice selection on everything and staff is super nice.
At least food Lion store still has check out with people
I mostly shop at this grocery store!! Cant beat the freshness of the vegetables, meats, dairy!! Great prices!! Ill be back again and again!!
They were really low in there freezer and fridge sections, due to Im sure shortage of help.
My favorite food lion store
Theres always an employee there that never wears her mask. Old as she is, she should know better. Other than that, the other employees are doing a good job.
Good place clean nice people
Feel like I get stereotyped here
Found what I needed had plenty of checkers I hate to go to Kroger or Walmart cuz they only give you one live person to check you out! Most ppl want to get in an out but also dont want to take away a job and give it to a computer by self checking !?!?!?!?
Great meat and the meat manager is good at his job.
Always happy with my food lion
Excellent place to shop. It doesnt sell all the junk that Kroger does. Easy shopping.
A nice place for grocery
They had everything we wanted for our visit. Clean store. Happy employees.
Very clean and well stocked. Staff was very pleasant and attentive!
Was shocked at how many new and different foods that Food Loin had that I had never seen at Kroger. Took half the time to check out at Food Loin than it does at Kroger and staff was actually smiling and friendly. Will be going back .
New to the area so far I give this foodlion 5 star. They are very friendly and welcoming.
Clean store, easy to get help finding items you need.
Rude ppl
Managers didnt do anything to help me when the cashier was threatening me and throwing items at me! Wanted to put blame on me
Bought a few groceries and something quick to eat for dinner. Great price!
Great place to shop at. The cashier before me helped an older lady with her groceries and was very polite. All / most the workers do wear masks aswell if thats an issue for you.
The store was very clean and neat. They had everything I was looking 4 plus a lot of items other people are looking for. I did not have to wait long in line to check out. Very professional cashiers.
Good selection of produce
Normally very clean with courteous employees. I visited July 7, 2020 this afternoon around 4:30 & all of the young employees standing around conversating ignoring customers. All of the customers were going to a line where a senior employee was working to ring everyone up. Kudos to this senior employee. I had to load my own grocery cart with heavy bags while young employees stood around in conversation just watching & several just walked to join the conversation without offering to bag or load my groceries.
It seems like this Food Lion doesnt have the variety they used to have. Most of the employees are friendly and helpful.
Always plenty of cashiers!
Store clean. Well stocked. Employees are helpful. Way beyond other stores. Have good sales.
This is good location off Plantation Road. Great service and help people that work there. Got a lot more stuff in this store.
Clean and organized.
Food Lion has the best food and prices!
One of the best Food Lions in the valley. Employees are always helpful and friendly, the store is clean and well stocked.
Nice clean store that go grocery shopping.
Love Food Lion👍🤠
Theres food and stuff
I enjoyed this location because its clean the staff is always very friendly and theres never large crowds here. Much better than the Walmart across the street!
Like to shop here its a nice clean store and everyone is very helpful!
It took four people to ring me out they talked the whole time nobody said hello how are or anything to me but my total!! They were talkin about their parents and it took 15 mins to ring me out!! Very disappointed
Only food lion I’ll go to in the city! Always CLEAN and Stocked!! And they always have enough cashiers!
Cant go wrong with Food Lion
Ive always loved this Grocery Store, friendly crew.
Very clean, organized and the deli rotisserie chicken was so very fresh and tasty! The entire staff was so very kind ! A real change from what I am used to elsewhere
Always have a variety at the deli and helpful people
Nice employees great specials clean well organized store
Everything was fine until my mother and I decided to checkout our groceries where this redhead was cashiering. As we pulled up in the aisle and no words were spoken from her, nor any eye contact given, it became very clear how uncomfortable this girl was around us. She did not greet us, there was a purposeful avoidance of eye contact and even emotion. Actually, the only emotion we detected from her was the effort to not show any acknowledgement of us whatsoever; it looked as if she were bagging groceries for ghosts. At the time, I attempted to chalk up her cold, unfriendly, and shut off attitude to possible shyness or simply having a bad day. At one point, I tried to show her some warmth and friendliness by smiling when she managed to quickly glance at me, as I thanked her for handing me over my bags - I was hoping to break the ice and make her feel more comfortable to respond. I got no response/no signal on the other end: No smile, no “You’re welcome;” just a short, disregarding glare. She didn’t even say anything while giving us our receipt, as we were about to leave. Heading to the car, we agreed someone doesn’t like their job… until we got in the car and I looked back up and into the store windows and saw her smiling at, laughing with, conversing with, ACKNOWLEDGING, and RESPONDING to a woman in her checkout… who happened to be white. We are black... Light bulb! And behind the woman in checkout the redhead was interacting with was a black man who the woman in checkout was seemingly bringing into the conversation, but whenever the black man would speak to the checkout girl, continuing throughout his turn in the line, my mother and I both saw how her attitude and body language would change; how she would persistently overlook his attempt to converse or interact with her, doing whatever she could to have as little contact as possible with this man, just as she did with us. WE SAW how she was, once again, ignoring another black person and making an effort to show no acknowledgement or interest in what this man had to say. Her entire demeanor expresses “YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE.” We could FEEL something wasn’t right by how she was acting and treating us, from the start. In fact, any other person could see the difference if they had seen what we had seen through those windows. The ignorance in people like her is as REAL as what happened tonight. It’s just sickening and I hope her manager sees this so HER ACTIONS ARE KNOWN AND SHE IS FIRED. NO DISCRIMINATION OF ANY KIND SHOULD BE TOLERATED. My family and I have been loyal customers of Food Lion for years and have never been treated this way here before; Extremely unprofessional and WRONG. I do not expect much out of people, but I do expect RESPECT and WHAT IS RIGHT. To the redhead, I understand that you live what you LEARN (no one is born with this mentality, you were taught), but I pray that you realize what IS right, and what to change in YOU. You are missing a lot of good people, kindness, love, and a lot of the HUMAN experience in life, by limiting yourself to the people who merely “look like you” in your eyes.

This is probably the best grocery store Ive ever been in....they know where everything is ...its clean...they are friendly...prices are good...im 45 years old....best foodlion store in America !!!!!...guaranteed....!!!!
This place is nice and clean and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Its a one stop place for dinner and a 6 pack or bottle of wine. Skip the hot foods.
Love this place.
I have always loved the atmosphere in the foodlion stores and they carry things that other stores dont carry
Wide selection of quality foods and dry goods. Dont forget to bring your MVP card so you can take advantage of the fantastic sale prices. Quality, cleanliness, courteous staff and convenient location. No need to look any further, this is your one stop shop!!
Quick n easy pickup 4 what u need
My Food Lion always has the popular hard to find items example my favorite coffee creamer marshmallow mocha,yumm. Staff beyond nice. If they do not have it just ask the manager and he will get it.
Every thing good. But no spicy cheese crackers.
Good place for grocerys
The Food Lion I went to is close to my home. Given the time I chose to go to the grocery it was the best choice. I only needed a few things and I was able to get those items. It was a good choice.
Clean, stocked, great customer service
Easy visit. I should shop here more often. Theyve really gave it a nice facelift.
Nice and friendly service, always has what I want and need...
This is my favorite grocery store. The employees are wonderful and always treat you with such great customer service. They make you want to come back. And i love the savings.
Every time Im there there are always plenty of people to man the registers, and everybody is friendly and helpful. The store is clean and I love the gluten free selections! Produce is fresh, and theres always people to help in the meat department. If I need help at the service desk, someone is available quickly and staff communicates and will help out if lines are getting long. I dont HAVE to use self check out with no assistance if I dont want to.
Very clean store and nice employees. When the lines started to get long, other cashiers arrived quickly to assist. One of my favorite grocery stores.
I didnt and would not go to food lion.worst grocery store I have ever been to. I would drive by 10 food lions to go to a walmart
Wonderful grocery store. Good people.
Very clean, helpful Associates, fast check out.
Hard to beat Food Lion in general for clean, friendly, well-stocked stores. I always save money when I shop here. Now with the store being remodeled, it really is nice to shop here!
Love shopping there they always have what I need
Although the store was in proper order, it was fairly small and the overall variety of items just wasnt there as compared to other stores such as whole foods, giant eagle, giant and Wegmans
Always Get our meat there
Very clean and neat manage and employee where super.
I love this store. The staff is helpful and friendly, always willing to serve
Its never to crowded..it has all I need..prices are good..
Nice and clean plus friendly employees
Decent location. Nice staff. Prices are high without a sale.
Employees are very nice. Great place to shop.
Very clean 👌
Very Clean, was able to find every thing I needed
The employees are always kind, store is always stocked and very clean!!!
Fresh produce, very clean store. Shop hear alot. You wont freeze with cold temp. in the store. Would recommend shopping here. A little pricey though. Watch your cars. I had my rims stored in broad daylight. That quick. No cameras outside.
Cleanest and most well stocked grocery store in Roanoke and surrounding areas. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and helpful employees throughout the store. Always a pleasure to shop at this store.
Food Lion is wonderful. Family. They remodeled the store and I love it. Its bigger more variety. Im happy. Paula Murray
Been sick six days today and drove to Food Lion just for a gallon of sweet tea. I bought Food Lion brand. Am severely allergic to citrus fruit. Got home, poured a large glass and took a big swallow. It tasted like a glass of lemon juice. I couldnt even taste the tea, and nowhere on the label was marked with lemon. This is the south where sweet tea is supposed to be just sweet tea. Thats why in restaurants they ask if you would like a lemon wedge, or place one on the glass rim. I really wanted a gallon of sweet tea, too sick to drive back out, and stuck with a gallon of lemon juice with a little tea that I cant drink. Not a happy shopper.
Great place.
