Harris Teeter

We had the worst experience at the HT here on Providence. Seriously. The clerk gave me a look instead of saying hi when I switched checkout aisles to use hers and even said hi. Then she starts almost throwing the items after insanely swiping them. My wife and I got so upset that I asked, «are we in a hurry?» And my wife just started saying wow. The woman said they get things moving fast. Even the guy that was putting them in the bags just said well we like to keep it flowing at a certain rate. What was there problem? Really? So I look back and guess how many people were behind us. None!

Sweet little Harris Teeter in Charlotte, NC., although, it’s not so little.
Something I have never seen in a grocery store is an upstairs! You can take the elevator or stairs.
They have online shopping, and as I observed, the employees gather the food in paper bags, then load them into lockers. I don’t know how that works with ice cream — perhaps the lockers are chilled?
There is a small Starbucks inside with free wifi. More on that in a future review.
As with everything in this area of Charlotte, the parking lot is small and hard to maneuver, and he signage is lacking. Just happened to pass it and pulled in.

Was here yesterday. This is a really nicely laid out Harris Teeter and a very busy one I might add. Always cars coming in and out in the parking lot and part of a strip mall.
Funky-​cool is the elevators. It’s like once you step out of the elevator it’s like walking into a wine store. Nice chairs and table just like a bar or restaurant. Now, on the other side of that is more aisles of health and beauty aid.
Staff is friendly and attentive to the needs of the customers. Impressive customer service. Nice selection of exotic fruits and vegetables versus that of publix or even Trader Joe’s. Tell me where would you find Dragon Fruit or Rambutan– only in Asian groceries stores.
My favorite cooked items to grab and go here is the Hickory Apple Pork Loin, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Slice it up and make an amazing Cuban Sandwich with left overs. This is the place to get this item. It’s totally Orgazmic!

I’m giving Harris Teeter three stars because the prices are not as competitive as Target, Trader Joe’s and Publix. However, I have been pleased with the produce selection, the roasted chicken, and the Quest Bars! I love not having to go to a vitamin store just to buy Quest Bars. The ambiance is very nice, and the store is clean and well lighted. I’ve even been known to take a book and grab a coffee and sit on the balcony before doing the dreaded grocery shopping. (Let’s be real — shopping for one is challenging especially when things come in bulk or large quantities.)
Added bonus: wine tastings, pizza by the slice, and a Red Box.

It’s a good HT. They are all fairly the same. There are some price differences from store to store which is always interesting to me.
Good selection and quality of store brands available. The store layout is on two levels and that can be a pain sometimes, but I appreciate that they have a nice patio on the second floor.
Parking isn’t bad here as there a more than two entrance/​exits. Coming into this store from the opposing directions during morning or evening rush hours can be a pain though.

Most Harris Teeter locations live up to their unnecessarily high prices with environments that are professional and inviting. I love this location and usually pop in after a late night class at Queens University. Everything is well put together and they’ve done a nice job with the modeling. I’ve never had an issue with anything I’ve purchased. Everyone from the deli/​bakery clerk to the cashier to the SBUX associates make each experience a pleasant one.

Gave this HT a try after the remodel. My normal one is the East Blvd location. Horrible produce selection. More than one dairy/​frozen item was close to expiring. I picked up a frozen pizza about to expire in 2 days. I would not have been a happy camper if I took it home and went to enjoy the Home Run Inn goodness a week later and found it was expired. My purpose of the trip was to restock on Fage yogurt. I couldn’t buy many as they were expiring in 4 days. I will stick to the East Blvd and Morrocroft locations. Until Publix opens closer, then I’ll give that a try.

I am a dreamer, and while I was nervous about the expansion and traffic, I began to envision those wonderful selections in this convenient location… the cozy wine bar… I imagined a touch of Teeter, a bit of Earthfare and a dollop of WF. After all, the new building looked WOW and Myers Park? I pictured organic goods and a warm setting. Instead? This new HT would have been exciting 20 years ago. Now it’s just a dated store with an annoying elevator. The ambiance is cold, starting with the cheesy fruit pictures outside. Dated and sad. This neighborhood needs a grocery store with local, organic produce, natural cleaning products like Method, and meat/​seafood from small companies that take special care with the animals and the earth. Maybe the wine bar has potential in nice weather… outdoor tables… overlooking The Intersection of Many Crashes. But it might be nice out there. Wine, with small plates? I met a nice young women working there one day… knowledgeable and pleasant. Not everyone up there gives off a positive vibe. Well I hope Kroger might use WF and EF for planning… atmosphere/​selection/​ethics.

Nice job on the remodel!!! I almost feel underdressed and I am in work business attire! My review is strictly on the wine bar area/​concept. I came here to meet a friend for a glass of vino.
You (well I… let’s be honest) immediately feel like you’re an elitist roaming around amongst those who live in this neighborhood. (I just looked to my left and I see a very trendy mom with her very trendy child both pushing a shopping cart. The child has his own mini cart provided by Harris Teeter) it’s crazy!
Location: corner of Providence and Queens. Perfect if you are coming from Cotswold or from that direction but TERRIBLE if you are coming from Uptown or the opposite direction. I was coming from Uptown during rush hour traffic and had to make a left to get to the parking lot causing traffic making those behind me wait. Eek! Once inside the view from the upper level is really great. I am watching the sun set through the trees!
Wine Selection: HUGE. I think it’s bigger than the Tajma-​teeter selection. My beef? They copied Whole Foods’ with the wine bar at the top in a way. There is a wine bar at the top with a wine by the glass dispenser. You load a reusable card with whatever amount put it in the machine and pick you liquid. Whole foods had that first. This Teeters only has 9 to choose from… and the white I chose was warm. Boo. Not impressed. They do, however have a GREAT balcony. I’d come back in the spring and summer time JUST to sip’n’sun on that patio. The wine bar is also next to… Dorritos? Are those fig newtons? Why they decided to put non wine friendly foods next to the wine bar is a little off. I was hoping to grab some cheeses while I was up here but not so much. They don’t offer small plates for purchase. UPDATE: wine lady just put out a cheese and grape plate… is it rude to grab the entire thing and eat it?! Probably.
I like the wine bar… it’s clean and inviting but I just wish it would have offered me something different other than another Whole Foids situation. They should offer small plate to purchase while enjoying your wine. Not make me go fetch it before going up stairs.

Great job on the remodel, love that it has a starbucks and two levels. Everybody was SUPER nice and helpful… greeted by ALL workers there, even one that was on break. Parking lot is kinda sucky… spaces are close but it is a small plaza and at an awkward spot being on that weird corner. Way more selection than the old/​smaller one that was there.

This is a really nice Harris Teeter. They have a large selection of wine and usually have a wine consultant that is available to help you if you do not know what is best. I still crack up every time I see the little kids with the mini kid size shopping carts!

Harris Teeters dominate Charlotte and provide good service, have added more organic selections, and are clean and well maintained. It is known as being pricey, but if you shop carefully you can find good bargins and sales.
I do not use it for all my shopping needs since I like the variety offered in shopping different places which offer more local and lower processed foods like Trader Joes and farmers’ markets.
The Myers Park store has been a little gem. There has been a grocery store in this location for decades. It used to be an A&P, now it’s a H-​T! This location has friendly staff and well maintained.
What I love (have loved) about this particular H-​T is that it is small. You can get in and out fast without having to cover miles of isles. They call it «Harris Teeter Express».
It feels like a neighborhood store, with a deli, meat counter and good selection of what you need. It doesn’t carry everything the larger stores do, but it has everything you need most days. There are several larger H-​T stores nearby if you are missing anything: East Blvd, Cotswold, and the flagship Morrocroft across from Southpark.
Sadly this store is going to be torn down soon and replaced with a larger store next to the current location (where Myers Park Hardware used to be). We’ll see how I like it when it opens, but right now I am unhappy that I am loosing my «Teeny Teeter».
The new store frame is towering over the Providence/​Providence — Queens/​Queens intersection. It really changes the character of the intersection.
Not that it has much to do with review of the store itself but the intersection traffic backs up even with two green lights. The left lane is blocked by left turning cars, and the right lane blocked by cars turning right held back by no right turn. It would have been nice if H-​T had used the opportunity to improve the intersection and incorporated into the project a badly needed proper right turn lane. Instead, it took the sliver of right turn lane away, foreshadowing worse backups at this high traffic intersection.

I realize this is Myers Park, but occasionally us hicks from the sticks MIGHT want a chicken that costs less than $ 16. They should probably stock one.

Holy Bunny McDougal’s batman! Each time I go to this Teeter I feel like I am the only person who isn’t old money, a wasp and who doesn’t go to the church across the street. That being said, if I do go I try to get in and out in a hurry, it’s good if you need to drop in really quick to pick up a general supermarket item. But other than that… no.
