Safeway at 413 Elden St in Herndon is a convenient, 24/7 neighborhood grocery store with plenty of parking. It is described as a functional, clean, and reasonably managed store. The location offers a wide selection of groceries, fresh produce, a very good bakery with customizable items, a deli with made-to-order options, a floral department, and a helpful, knowledgeable pharmacy. For convenience, it offers Order Ahead pick-up, Grocery Delivery, and DriveUp & Go™ services, along with Club card discounts. Reviews note the store is great for a quick trip, with helpful staff and clean, organized aisles. Some customers find the overall product selection satisfactory and the quality outstanding, praising its merchandising and house brands. However, other shoppers find the selection very generic and lackluster, feeling it does not carry special or new items compared to other retailers, and recommend it more for missing ingredients than for all regular shopping. The store has self-checkout, and while staff are always helpful, lines can sometimes get long.
This is a good store. Plenty of parking. Selections gets boring, but at least it’s predictable!

PLEASE make the hot fried chicken less salty. I ordered 32 pieces of legs and thighs. I ate them, but they were a little too salty. I would rate them a 4 or 5 if they had less salt.

Its usually a quick option for lunch since there's no lines to check out. There's not as good selection as harris teeter and it is not any cheaper either. There is a small section in the back for selling old and discontinued items at a discounted price and sometimes you can find something good.
