Good Whole Foods. As expected. Tried the Big Cork Cabarenet Franc red wine and it was good. Not too expensive either.

Grabbed some lunch here from the salad bar. So many options and all fresh and tasty. Would be good if food labels at bar clearly stated which dishes were vegetarian. Whilst most of obvious the odd one is not. Also feel the prices are a little high but would come back for the quality, freshness and convenience.

Nice place, as expected from a whole foods. Not crowded, easy checkout. Produce seems fresh. Not sure if prices are relatively high, which is often expected at Whole Foods. I never eat their buffets for that reason. Good selection of items though.

Great fruits and vegs, wines, meats, dairy, buffet. AWFUL shopping carts ready to hit people with their extended bottom shelf. Use the ones that Safeway Wilson Blvd has instead

Abi at Customer Service wanted us to wait 30min at the kiosk line to return Amazon packages when she’s able to return at the counter as well. I asked her after waiting 15min if she’s able to help me and she demanded me to wait back in line and wait to be called. Over Amazon packages? Do better, Whole Foods.

This Whole Foods has good customer service and a great young hipster crowd. There is a bar for drinks, eating area inside and out. The food bar is good for a few times but if you eat here often it is rarely changed out to different choices. The prices are high but they are theOnly player in town! Photos as of June 2018.

This store offers a large variety of products, but its prices are really "Sky-High" in every sense of the word.The cold salad bar is always changing to the extent that some salads disappeared during the last couple of weeks! One example is the regular plain lentil soup. Another one is the famous Lebanese salad, "Tabbouleh". Falafel is always comes from a freezer (cold and old) while it is supposed to be fresh and hot or at least warm!The kitchen obviously in needs a better expert supervision.

When I found out there was a Whole Foods in Crystal City just a short walk from the Marriott I was staying at I had to go there! I knew there would be fresh sea food especially fresh oysters!! The only problem with the place is the Bar and food area put together. In Boise, Idaho the balcony has the bar and it’s easier to get a beer. This helps with congestion. Great sea food! Love the selection of oysters. Thanks!

I had a decent time. The meat and seafood section isn't as big as other whole foods. The biggest feature about this place is the bar that I wont frequent. The bulk nuts and grain section here is sizeable also big here. The produce smelled fresh and they also have some spice type items for cooking. The chocolate section has some good choices too. The other feature is the self checkout. The machines dont complain as much as they do at giant, harris tetter etc.

Carlos Salazar provided top-notch service at the bar. Carlos offered a couple of samples to his clients and made sure all his customers were happy. The pizza was so delicious. The music was perfect too.

Great place to make your groceries, friendly staff, has its own free parking garage (just ask your cashier to validate your ticket) way to many options, so make sure you have the time to search, find and kill the curiosity to check alternative options of what you usually consume.Well my personal experience at this place, I came for seed and nuts bread, and to check what other healthy vegan options could find here (not my usual place to buy, for not specific reason), and I did not only find my very specific bread, I also found, grain free chips, better variety of vegan cheese, meatless options, and a lot more! I went for 1 or 2 things, and as usual you leave the store with more than that, but this time, I intensionally left the store before I buy way to many stuff that I won't be able to finish not even in 2 weeks.I will definitely come back for more stuff in the future.

A large variety of foods to buy and affordable compared to the hotel I was staying in, everything I had lacked flavor in my opinion, first time there. Sandwich was dry, pizza and chicken was good, wrap was eh. Lots of sweets, didn't try but looked good. Some of the food served is cold and you have to use their microwave 😬

The overall selection of products here is excellent and rivals some of the larger location's in the area (this locale isn't small). The bars are somehow always stocked with fresh cuisine, they even have BBQ most days in the spring/summer months.Never seen the produce here anything but fresh, same with the proteins from the butcher. One big surprise here is the beer bar, very cool concept and something you don't see often in a "grocery store."Well done Whole Foods, well done.

Smaller store than most other WF and layout is a bit wonky but still has what you'd expect. Pricier than a normal supermarket and you won't find many of the big brands here but if you want healthier, organic and different options it's a great store. Parking is free and under the store with entrance at back of building

Got the worst food poisoning of my life yesterday from here.This is the second time in a month I’ve had food poisoning from buying from their buffet and pre packaged areas. Eat their food at your own risk.

One of my favorite quick dinner bites and a glass of beer or wine stops in Crystal City.Some evenings I don’t feel like cooking dinner and I really don’t want a traditional restaurant.Whole Foods hits the mark!They have a nice beer and wine selection, but if that doesn’t do it they do make cocktails. I love their pizza and my wife hits the salad bar. We both get exactly what we want, it’s quick, and they also have a hot food bar and sushi.Easy, Quick, at a Reasonable Price 🍻

Very classy place with kind attendants and helpful staff. I like the fact that they open at 7 AM and close at 10 PM. That way, families which are out for work have adequate time to make purchases. There should be some vouchers or some benefits for repeat customers, though. The computer does not seem to remember me. Finally, the store does not accept GPay or equivalent mode of payment.Coming from India, that was a bit of disappointment since ideally 60% of payments ought to be done by scanning QR codes

Shelves were empty at night before closing, but fully staffed during the day. Friendly staff and super clean. Pretty wide selection and a good lunch choice.

I love Whole Foods anywhere I go! This is a great location. So clean, always enough room to sit down and eat. Staff super friendly!

They had er'ting I needed. One of the stock men helped me with the price on the 365 gallon waters. He was a younger Latino man and was very helpful and friendly. However, the guy at the self checkout,Shreeharrisa I think, wasn't very friendly. When I asked a question our said hello he only grunted. This visit was on 12/21/23. I finished shoppping at 12:45 pm-ish. Outside of that it was a good experience.

This Whole Foods is well stocked with all of the goodness you expect from a WFM, but this location raises the bar with an ingenious layout and spectacular design. This WFM was built to be an inviting place to get all your clean food and home goods needs or simply hang out for an evening. I visited with a group on a recent work trip and we found ourselves ditching our other plans for the chill vibe of the The BASIN, the convenient gastropub right near the entrance. There is plenty of seating right near the bar but there is a mezzanine with more seating overlooking the sales floor. Also, you can park for 90 minutes for free in the garage on level G1.

Not the biggest whole foods that I've been into but certainly very nice one. I like that they have a parking garage in the basement for people who drive. They had a lot of the main bars that I come to expect another whole foods and it looks like it was run pretty efficiently overall

My new favorite Whole Foods! I even got my chicken refunded because it was overcharged at checkout!

Very good supermarket but you have to know that a lot of brands are N/A like COCA COLA. And lot of special staff and drinks they have pure and natural. I like the bakery over there.

On your buffet hot bar items can you list the ingredients very specific, when you say white fish, pollock or tilapia is very deceiving, it should say one only (tilapia) (pollock)., we all know that tilapia es low quality meat, so I don’t want to pay for pollock and get tilapia instead. Also we live in the age of technology and you are making the parking process more difficult, scanning the receit then the ticket.. what a waste of time…

Great selection of food, everything from canned stuff to fresh produce.Hot selection is good, but after staying on a hotel nearby for 6 nights, I found the selection beeing almost identical everyday. They should change some of the selection, have some other rotation for each day.Sushi is also very good and made fresh everyday.Whole Foods is not a cheap place to shop, but you feel good and that you have selected somewhat better food for your body.

This is an update. We bought salmon. The person grabbed a piece of salmon, put it on paper and folded the paper to cover the salmon piece. The paper (outside) became wet because he touched it after he touched the salmon piece. This was not pleasant at all. As you can see in my pictures, their presentation of things is poor. In short I consider the shop is more warehouse than a shop. I have repeated this but I don’t say Whole Food is bad. Rather this is not for those who like quality more than price competitiveness and convenience.Whole Foods used to sell high quality and real organic products. After Amazon acquisition it has become more convenient and cheap but products and service quality have deteriorated. They sell milk (not all but some grass feed ones) just one day to “expiry”. People at cashiers seem to be less motivated than before. A person at their cheese corner doesn't know the price of cheese they sell. She told me "go to the register and get the price". I feel very sad to know she doesn't have any motivation to sell anything. Instead, she carries stuff and get paid some. Yet the shop is good enough for those who appreciate convenience. They’ve introduced Amazon Prime points, they sell more ready-to-eat foods and they deliver. All are good stuff. Just not for me. Actually I recently find Wegmans is far better than Whole Foods. So Wegmans is for me and Whole Foods for those who value low prices and convenience.

The best Whole Foods!!! I will drive past 3 other Whole Foods just to visit this location. This store has ample free parking in their garage and A HUGE and always fresh hot bar, perfect for lunch or dinner. It’s always clean and the foot traffic is much less than you would think considering the location. You will have no trouble finding assistance if you need it. They have a large cafe area with TVs and a perfect view of the pizza oven. On tap is a variety of seasonal brews and kombucha to share over ample seating both upstairs and downstairs.

I come to this location normally. The escalator has been broken for practically a year. What’s the hold up? I even mentioned it out loud and another customer expressed how annoying it was. Please care about your customers convenience when shopping!
