- JBJoe BrennanJan 4, 20261.0Avoid this place if you can. The guy in the deli refused to sell me anything because "the sliders are down". Unless I am to believe they somehow all broke at once, this means he could not be bothered cleaning them. Deli was open, lights were on, guy was behind the counter. Case full of meat. But he just decided he couldn't be bothered doing his job. I can no longer be bothered spending my money here. Maybe, somehow, all the sliders were truly inoperable at once. I suppose it is possible their maintainence is that terrible. But I doubt it highly
- WTWillliam ThamesDec 28, 20255.0Great experience. Plenty of parking was available. Reasonable price. No problems at all. Grateful.
- SJSalvador Diez Canseco Jr.Dec 23, 20253.0Its organized well.
- DGDavid GrayDec 20, 20254.0Supermarket was okay with a good range of produce. Convenient for Holiday Inn Express and other hotels in that local area. Good range of sandwiches at reasonable prices.
- GBG. BuddenbergDec 17, 20253.0Tja wat moet je zeggen, buiten was het koud in Washington maar qua sfeer in de winkel ook. Prijzen zijn relatief hoog en als je een voordeel wil hebben dan zou je een klantenkaart moeten hebben. Nu betaalde ik 8 dollar voor 6 flesjes drinken terwijl je voor 5 dollar meer met een kaart er 18 zou hebben en zo was het eigenlijk met heel veel producten.
