Harris Teeter is noted for its fresh, high-quality selection of meats, seafood, and produce, along with a Fresh Foods Market offering deli, baked goods, and chef-prepared meals. The store is generally described as clean, tidy, and well laid out, with items sorted logically, which makes shopping straightforward. Customers appreciate the wide variety, noting that in nearly every aisle there is a national brand, the store's own brand, and often products from a local or small batch source, including unique items found only at Harris Teeter. The store features a huge salad bar, Asian hot bar, pizza bar, and fresh-made sushi. The shopping experience is usually positive, with friendly staff and efficient self-checkout lanes kept moving by attendants. Most employees and fellow shoppers are reported as super friendly, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. However, experiences can vary, as some customers have encountered an occasional unfriendly cashier. The store now accepts mobile payments like Apple Pay. Some shoppers advise being cautious, as products have occasionally been found very close to or past their expiration date, so checking items is recommended. The store's advertised promotions, such as "buy 3 get 2 free," are reported to work without requiring the exact multiples to get the discount, and getting rain checks for out-of-stock sale items is suggested for the best deals. While the meat and seafood are enjoyed, some customers wish meat cutters were available during evening hours. Overall, Harris Teeter is considered a great place to shop that stands out from others nearby.
