Harris Teeter

Lapin and I came here for groceries while visiting NC. A bit cheaper than Food Lion. The bagels are freshly made in the morning and super delicious. The staff is friendly and the store is huge with a big selection. Best part, free samples and cookies for tots or a grown @$$ woman child who wants cookies :)

Seems odd, to be writing a review of a supermarket, but this one deserves a shout-​out. We vacation in OBX, and while there, we often go to a local supermarket for fresh items such as fruit, salads, sandwiches or sushi, for lunch. The first thing that strikes us, as we enter HT, is the clean and airy appearance of the store. In the six years we’ve visited this place, it looks as shiny and bright as the first time we went there. The produce is very reasonably priced and absolutely fresh. Their sushi is varied and packaged nicely.
They’ve even added a Pizza Bar, where you can get a slice or more of real gourmet pizza varieties! Although they have no salad bar, they do have an excellent «olive bar,» where you can get several varieties of olives, and even artichoke heart salad. Their cheeses are many and varied, and it’s great to know that getting your lunch at HT isn’t like «camping out,» but a real treat. For anyone traveling to the OBX, make it a stop.

Bottom Line: Best grocery store on the beach although the prices are a bit high.
In general, grocery prices in the Outer Banks are likely going to be higher than at home. So if I am going to pay a premium for groceries at the beach, I prefer to do it at this large and gorgeous Harris Teeter. A few things I really appreciate about this store are the cleanliness, lovely displays, large produce section and walk in beer cooler. Yes, pushing my way through the double swing doors into the beer cooler is what I imagine my arrival at heaven to be like. But for my sister, the Starbucks here is more heavenly and saves her from driving down to MP 2 for her Chai Tea addiction.

I like H&T, they are all set up essentially the same so you can find what you’re looking for quickly while you are on the road!

Having a Harris Teeter at the beach was a godsend. They stock lots of great fresh veggies, juices, fruits etc. as well as lots of mainstream and a few craft beers. I didn’t really check the wine section since we came prepared but I am sure it was decent. They also have a full store of groceries so when we decided to try out some new recipes with the whole family this is where we shopped especially for spices and baking needs.
Great addition to the area.

A lovely grocery store — above average. Lots of variety, produce is fresh, customer service above average, and conveniently located!

Harris Teeter and I have a very difficult relationship. It’s a great store with great quality in terms of what it offers. I’ll give it that. When I’m inland I can find groceries cheaper and with not much of a variation in quality.
My problem with it in my hometown runs much deeper than that though! Brace yourself… the Harris Teeter in Kill Devil Hills SITS WHERE A WATER PARK USED TO BE!!! Yep… they came in, bulldozed the water park I used to play at and built a horrible Harris Teeter in its place. Oh Diamond Shoals we miss you. I thought a water park had a place on an island far more than another grocery store. Thankfully they did that after I went off to college, but still, really?!? Because of this I will rarely step foot in there unless for something important or out of sheer convenience (it’s so far to drive those short miles to a grocery store on another part of the island… yes, laugh at me local girl).
All that aside… deep breath! They have a great wine selection. They’ve given many locals jobs when the construction jobs dried out. They’re open 24 hours. They rent carpet cleaners. They have Red Box… Still… We were doin’ just fine with our Food Lions and Seamark Foods (locally owned fresh market great grocery store) before you came along Teeter! ’nuff said.

Boy, am I glad they added this store here. We go to the store up in Corolla when we head north, but when we go south to Ocracoke, we would stop by the Food Lion in Avon. It was just a basic grocery store, but I really love the selection at Harris Teeter. Oh, I cannot wait to get to the wine section. Another great thing is it is open 24 hours. We drive down to the Outer Banks in the middle of the night to avoid the traffic. So getting here early, shopping and down to the Hatteras/​Ocracoke ferry early in the morning is wonderful.
