The nicest food lion I’ve been in so far! They have a wide selection and nicely organized. They even had a large vegetarian and gluten free section and refrigerated pet food making me feel like I’m almost in whole foods! Wish our local food lion would be like this!

Clean well stocked store. Pricing is excellent and the selection is plentiful. The friendliest staff you could ever imagine. The store is always kept clean and brings in fresh ideas for dinner.

This store has the best employees. They are so nice and helpful. Only wish their parking lot was flatter. It's up hill and with a buggy full of groceries it's had to push it up the hill. Seems a little dangerous. However if I ask and employee for help they don't hesitate. They offer sometimes.

Same good store as at home. Had everything I wanted and is less expensive than Publix next door.

I love this store! If they don't have something you are looking for, the Manager, Kevin, will go to the department manager to make sure the item is ordered. The associates are friendly and always helpful. I would highly recommend shopping here

Still a good choice for middle-class fare. House brands are good value. Everything has been moved since Feb, but isle signs are better, so have faith. You'll probably find it, and staff are eager to help. Paid $166 to feed two for three weeks. Sigh.

Feels modernized but with a down to Earth 90's nostalgic feeling. Always loved coming to this grocery store throughout the decades I have lived. They will have things Publix and other stores nearby won't have in abundance.

I have been shopping at this store once a week for the past 2 months. I appreciate everything the employees do to keep the shelves stocked . I especially appreciate the efforts of the hard working woman who is busily unloading boxes in the produce section every weekend. She is strong, quick and efficient . Thank you for all you do.

Nice selection regular foodlion nothing special or bad about this one. Just always remember to use your loyalty card for the savings. Foodlion always has high prices unless you use the loyalty program then their sales are pretty good.

Your standard Food Lion. Clean, well lit, comfortable place. It was close to empty late in the evening, though plenty of staff were working and available to assist There was no wait at the checkout line. Nice store.

Decent little grocery store that’s usually well-stocked; we’ve had some issues needing random items that were completely sold out (like tortillas), but employees are generally friendly and welcoming. Diane in the deli department was especially sweet, going out of her way just to say hello to my son and wish my husband a happy father’s day. Produce is usually fresh and the store is clean. This store has been around forever and has always been consistent.

Twice I have called the store and neither time did they answer. Even customer service failed to pick up. They say that "customer service is our #1 priority ". Kind of doubt it.

Food Lion on the island for the win! There are a couple of other grocers on or near the island that I've used, and paid too much. The prices here at the island location are the same as they are at home. If you want the "ambiance", shop the boutique grocers. If you want to pay less, use Food Lion!

Went to the restaurant on Sunday night food took a long time and came out cold. Prime rib was a huge disappointment. Over cooked. But atleast they let us bring in our own water instead of drinking the horrible toilet water they serve. Went back tonight. Food was better, but were not allowed to bring In our water so they could charge us the same price as a regular beverage for le Blue bottled water. We asked the waitress how much for the water she said she didn't know.. so we paid ,$9 plus tax for 3 waters.Ridiculous!! Crazy!

Every few months I will shop at this Food Lion for a large order thinking I will save a few dollars over the Publix next door. Should have gone to Publix.Checkout was a long wait. Four people in line and waited 10 minutes while my frozen foods got warm. Finally they opened another register and the cashier was rude to me when I mentioned I had a case of water under the cart. Always a bad experience here!

Avoid the mad rush of vacation renters on Saturday and Sunday evenings! It's crazy. I waited in an express line for over 35 minutes, which I do not attribute to the store's fault. It was my own idiocy that drove me here at 6:30pm on a Sunday evening.The good thing is that EVERY check out line was open, so you knew that the business was at least trying to accommodate the mass influx of travelers.

Standard Food Lion experience. The store shows its age in comparison to the neighboring Publix, but it was well stocked, and the prices were more reasonable. We found everything we needed!
