Reviews of Lowes Foods on Strickland Road (Fruit Store)

Jonah Schwartz

Decent selection, decent prices, great location

Sikander Ali

With 2 local Krogers now closed, they need to realize the new foot traffic and open more lanes. Prices here are higher than Kroger, but lower then Harris Teeter. Good deli, and butcher. Veggies could be fresher. Bakery is ok, Harris Teeter is better.

Jim Payseur

Best hand breaded spicy chicken tenders in Raleigh.

Diane Wallace

Correction; the U-SCAN is slow and outdated. Check sale prices as they do not always show up. Check dates on Greenfield and APPLEGATE sliced Turkey etc. If on sale often out of date.does not have it if date marked and the meat guy says says to bring it back for 200% guarentee, but that requires another trip. They do not notify you on special case orders. Prepped fruit is priced higher than Whole Foods.

Blain Lefort

Good store before remodel, fantastic after. Great produce and products. Sausage works is continually taken advantage of. Beer den is great and the fact that you can enjoy while you shop is great. Foods to go service customer for going on 20 years. It's another example of how great this store is.

Lane Kranock

Bad customer service in general. The cashiers make me feel bad for being in their lines. The only good thing about this place is the beer.

Alex Guess

We've been using this location for the majority of our grocery needs. The produce has always been well managed and the meat selection is what you would expect. Sausage works and the beer den are nice perks. We take advantage of Lowes food to go regularly and while we've encountered a few mistakes they have always been quick to correct.

Curtis McDaniel

I went in on a Saturday morning to try and get some produce there was only one bunch of celery in the store and many of the produce section’s were missing items. This is my third visit to the store and it doesn’t seem to be as well stocked as other Lowe’s in the area and prices seem to be a little bit higher so I have shopped elsewhere.

Donald Hawkins

This store keeps getting better each time I visit Raleigh. Great produce, meat and pastries.

I love there bakery and they have a great craft beer selection also there wine prices are very good as well.

Michael Krawiec

Much better now that they stopped making employees do chicken dance. Watching workers at a grocery store be forced to do an awkward dance was uncomfortable and kept me away for a while.

Michael Laney

Tired of bagging own groceries with kids in tow. Something has changed at this Lowe's location, management? I have overheard managers talking to employees about cutting hours while in the checkout and it is clearly leading to everyone bagging their own groceries, I mean everyone. If you wait on the clerk (not their fault) to bag the lines back up. People walk by including the manager and watch women, grandparents etc doing their own bagging. You can't keep track of your bill while bagging. I have never minded doing this on occasion during busy hours but it's every time.

Dave McMahan

A fairly standard Lowes. There are a few small shops around it but this is defiantly an anchor store in this crossroads. It's the usual stuff in the store. Store is nice and has a few things not seen at HarrisTeeter or FoodLion but it's all the standard stuff as far as groceries go. Convenient to stop in on the way home to pick up something you need.

Bob Taylor

I like this market. Foods seem fresh but prices are reasonable. Definitely better quality than Food Lion but not outlandish pricing like Whole Foods. They do prepare fresh foods such as guacamole there as well as baked goods. The deli section has whole cooked chickens, etc.. Good selection. They also do not block the aisles too much so you can get around. I hate places where the aisles are obstacle courses. Good parking.

ophelia covington

Great fried chicken, nice layout

Sydney Rose Williams

Nadine is the sweetest! Try Hug wine, it's great for summer cocktails!

Selection is on par with other grocery stores. This low score is for the cashier's and front desk manager. They mail you coupons to get you to go in. When you check out, they literally make up excuses on why you can't use said coupons. You explain that on the coupons, the exceptions are clearly labeled, yet the reasons you deny them you can't provide written documents or policies other than they were "told" not to accept them. REALLY? Had to waste quite a bit of time getting higher level management to sort this out. Not hassle free shipping experience. I recommend going to a more customer friendly store.

chris zip

nice

Laurel N

Clean store with updated interior. Good beer selection with a bar in the store. Helpful and friendly service with limited wait in the check out lines. Very limited vegan and health food options. Overall way more expensive for all the groceries I buy. I would rather go to the whole foods right across the street.

Deirdre Baker

Love supporting NC businesses especially those with such spectacular employees!

Alan Ernhart

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good food.

Clark Jackson

I love this store, I wish I still lived close enough to frequent it. They have updated the whole front of the store with a single entry/exit and put seasonal and sale merchandise right in your view. The produce is fresh and I always saw someone there in that section looking after the merchandise. Selection is typical of a supermarket with a very good bakery (I love the apple turnovers!!!).

John Azzu

Very good selection. Very nice place. Well organized. A little more expensive than all the other places.

Roger Brenner

Nice clean, friendly place. The prices are a little high

Barbara Prince

This store is convenient and has a disent selection of items.

Claudia Horn

Ok, I’m angry now. This is the second time in a week that we purchased meat and had to return it because it was spoiled. The first time was lamb chops, the second, tonight, was gourmet burgers..I’ve had it. Follow up. When my husband tried to return it, the acting manager said the expiration date is the 20th, it’s the 10th. Hubby said smell it..the acting manager said, “smells like meat to me”. What an attitude! As I said, I’m done..

Brian Hammill

Sometimes I can't find the brands I'm used to here. But the beer den is great! Get a growler and get it filled! $4.99 for organic toaster pastries is high when Target and Food Lion have the same ones for less than $3.

Joyce Braswell

I love Lowes When you walk in (love the flowers ) flowers makes you happy then the fruits & bakery Bakery is tops

Su Leone

The self-checkout are very picky & give many false alerts requiring assistance. If they're going to charge more than Wal-Mart, it should work better than Wal-mart.

Anna Heatherington

The staff there are really nice, the store is clean and organized. I liked how the store is large and it was easy to access each product because it was not cramped.

Bradley Watkins

Okay.. so, this place hands down, has the BEST chocolate cake (short of having one made at a specialty bakery, etc..) there is so much icing, it keeps the cake fresh and moist for several days

Jackie Alvarez

This store is clean and selections are great. My reason for removing two stars is the customer service is horrible. Employees are not friendly or helpful and I came at a time when it wasn't busy. Cashier seemed irritated when we went up to check out and was so standoffish it seemed intentionally rude although I'm sure he just didn't want to be at work, even so, it's not the customers problem. I'm writing this in hopes that management can tell their staff that a simple smile goes a long way.

Forest Schweitzer

Been shopping here for years. They did a huge overhaul so now it's much more bougie and I'm not as big a fan, but it has a good selection.

B Goode

Nice, friendly and helpful employees

Peyton McIntosh

Lowe's foods is pretty cool I wish there was one in Durham

Aaron Kracht

Nice place. Recently renovated.

Mary Sanders

I needed a variety of things to make a fruit basket and they had everything I needed, one stop shopping.

Julie Sizemore

The best salad bar around

Kordel Schaper

Pretty good selection. Clean

Cristina Kalampukattussery

Went in for seafood, hoping that they'd have some items Food Lion didn't have. I was wrong and the man at the butcher counter was discourteous. I asked if they had calamari. He walked to a cooler, pointed to a bag and I tried to ask, "Is this all you have?" as he walked away saying, "that's it." It was 10 am, and they were completely empty. Food Lion on Strickland was much, much more helpful, even though they didn't have what I needed either.

Christer Idhammar

Like this store but your so called sales on wines is not a sale. The sale prices are same as in other stores full price and I also checked at Vivino. So your full prices are way overpriced

Ernesto Latorre

Allways relaxing, friendly and good beers.

Eve Zuber

They have a new espresso, wine and beer bar! Fun! Good variety of products, decent organic selections, they redecorated a year or two ago and it's very attractive as grocery stores go. Not upscale, but good basic grocery store. Decent prices. Friendly staff.

Peter Mescher

The store is much nicer than it used to be before the renovations but the prices are higher than Harris Teeter and I still have the same intermittent problems with selection that I've always had at this store; inevitably the store will be out of at least one thing on my list.

Kelly Nestell

Used Instacart to shop/deliver from the Lowe’s foods on Strickland Rd. Even though I could have shopped elsewhere for cheaper, I chose them because they carry some things I can’t easily find anywhere else. They were out of stock on 10 of the 33 items, all of which included the things I can’t get elsewhere. I could see if it was a weekend, or an after work rush, but this happened early afternoon on a Tuesday. Also, 80% of the items that were out of stock were not on sale. I will not make shop here again, in person or through Instacart, having faith this store can restock their shelves or predict demand between shipments. Intead I will request the items I have a hard time finding from my Harris Teeter store.

chickie z

Clean easy to shop good customer service

Glen Jones

Excellent selection and the bakery is top notch.

Buttahflyin' N2Mi

There produce is so AMAZING! CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

karen George

OVER PRICED. I use to think Harris Teeter was expensive. Since sadly Kroger's left, I thought I'd try out Lowes. Their products are generally speaking much more expensive than HT. Then in addition they have no rewards program and won't match competitor prices. Not that a rewards program makes or breaks my wanting to shop with any business. I have a $10 off $50 purchase coupon, but what's the point of using it when the one product I'm interested in purchasing is $3/lb more than Harris Teeter's!!! Its a pretty store with a lot of offerings, but I'm interested in value for my money. Wil continue to not shop there.

Julian Roberts

Late night customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Otherwise, I love shopping at this location.

Hugo Mezzanotte

Very efficient and helpful. I wish it were closer but it's worth traveling the extra distance.

Shelley Sutton

I love that I can pick my own fresh basil and other spices right off the plant. I can't say enough about the bakery!! Yummm. Always a pleasure.

Charles Leathers III

I always love this place

Julie Steinmeyer

My go to store for organic groceries and meats/deli/seafood. Great workers in the fish/meat/deli area. Seafood is especially fresh - only had one issue in 8 years. Food Lion - not so much. I never wait more than 5 minutes to check out. New bakery is fabulous!

Amy .

WICKED expensive!!!

Brian Willis

Recently rennovated and a good variety compared to most grocery stores.

Danny Parra

I waited more than 30 minutes for 4 orders of whole chickens, there was chicken in display and they did not want to sell it and they cooked new chicken for 30 minutes to be able to sell it to me !! very bad service, bad logistics of diatribution.

Tim Henshaw

Great store after the remodel. Really brought the produce section up to Fresh Market standards.

Richard & Arlene Mancini

Easy to shop, products well organized to make it easy, pleasant environment to be shop with a neighborly feel pleasant people

gail woolard

I ordered a plate for my son and I. The fried fish I ordered was very salty and dried out. The guy dropped Mac and cheese on the counter and put it back in with the Mac and cheese he was serving. I miss Kroger

Rick Nipper

This Lowes is a typical suburban grocery store that leans to the upscale. Besides convenience, the thing I like the most about the grocery store is that it's always a pleasant shopping experience. It's isn't so crowded that you feel like you're going to be run over with a shopping cart. The atmosphere is calm. The cashiers and managers are pleasant. Whenever I have questions or need help, I get assistance pretty quickly. They have nice fruits and vegetables and emphasize produce from "local" farms. I've been known to pick up some of their prepared foods which are pretty tasty. I like their meat and fish selections too. Their prices are a little higher than some of the other grocery stores. However, the company is a North Carolina company and they are trying to support North Carolina businesses. I like to support that as often as I can.

Jordan Lassiter

Fancy. A little pricey. It's a different kind of grocery experience. They have this weird animatronic chicken in the ceiling that talks and sings. It's in the chicken kitchen. But the fruit and veggies are fresh and good quality.

Phillip Jones

Seems to have a fresh look to it and clean

Paul Guddat

Very poor cashier service and several calls to manager not answered.

Elizabeth Treolo

People were friendly, the guy at the bakery was quick and informative. However the cake was awful!! I made a special trip because I was told they were so good?? Way too much icing?? Cake itself was dry, tasted almost freezer burnt?? Self check out continued to ask that I scan items that had been??? And the lady working that area was very slow.

Yvonne Varghese

Produce that looks almost as good as whay my local farmers sell. Manager was very friendly and helpful.

Jerry Moore

Staff is very nice.

Jennifer Holloway

I have a weird fondness for grocery stores. If on the first time I go, I am able to not only get everything on my list but find something new...that store will have my loyalty until inevitably they start to slip like every other grocery store. Lowes on Strickland was a surprise find for me. After I moved here I was pining for my old grocery store and tried all of my local stores. Harris Teeter is disgusting, the Whole Foods here is so tiny and dismal, Food Lion is laughable...what was left? I tried Lowes in Brier Creek and wasn't impressed but this one on Strickland has turned my head. Its enormous, well stocked, you dont constantly have to wiggle around kids restocking shelves and the cashiers are very friendly. They are going thru a remodel right now I guess to try to compete with the soon to be coming King of stores...Wegmans. I will keep shopping here at Lowes. I can always find what I want and the prices arent outrageous.

jeve50 jeve50

The staff is extremely rude!!! Especially to black and brown people!!!

Miriam Goodbody

I've only been there 3 times, and none of the checkout people smile or happy can carry on a conversation. Wondering, is it locate too many hours working or never been trained to be pleasant however, some of the people working on the floor have been most helpful with me trying to find products and severally in in the area for a week thank you

Chris Applegate

Clean and well maintained. Recent upgrades have improved the experience. Beer den is a great idea if a bit expensive. Overall, prices seem to have increased since the renovations. More smiles would help a bit here too.

Rudy Lewis

Easy to get into and out of. Decent selections in all departments.

Alex Boge

This is one of my favorite places to get groceries. They always have what I am looking for and their employees are usually very friendly. The store has very unique things compared to other grocery stores in the area. There's a bar, a bakery with a daily selection of cake for you to buy by the slice and a their very own chicken shop like KFC. It's very good and I love it.

Bait 8000

Thanks to the talented people in the Bakery!

Barry Hatfield

Nice store but a little pricey, good sales

Megan Guess

The only place I’ll grocery shop in North Raleigh! The staff is so kind and the online order pickup option makes life so much easier.

Roderick Gorham

This place was clean and organized. The shelves were stocked and the staff was very helpful and friendly. If I stayed closer this would be my go to spot.

Stewart Arthur Pelto

Good prices, bad food. We went on a Sunday. We saw moldy packets of sliced cheese hanging in the coolers. We bought milk, sausage, and ground beef. It turns out the milk we bought Sunday had expired Saturday. The ground beef went gray after a day in our fridge. We returned the milk, sausage, and ground beef. We won't be going there again.

Karla White

Great atmosphere for shopping!

Isis Sarai Romero Monsalve

The attention at the chicken counter is really bad! I’m working for instacart and I have an order for 4 box (8 pcs) chicken, the girl who placed the order trough the app made 2 hr ago and the last shopper canceled the order because the people work at the chicken counter said that you need to placed a order before because you need to wait 20 min for fried a chicken! But they have chicken already fried but I don’t understand why they don’t want to selling me, so I need to wait 20 min for my chicken when they have chicken already fried in the counter!!

Janet Williams

Swanky store for a Lowes. Shop here all the time and think it's pretty good. Nice attention to produce and very kid-friendly butcher section. Very helpful staff -- always.

Dale Guthrie

The best of the best here

Robert Gillie

Awesome food, great selection, impressive

Rebekah White

Great grocery store!

Jennifer M

Very helpful folks!! Needed some balloons and the nice gentleman did it with a smile and was very sweet.

Leah Evans

Not a grocery store for a quick shopping run. If you need sliced meat or cheese from the deli, plan on being there at least a half-hour. Also, not a whole lot of variety when it comes to pasta and kosher foods.

Carson Hagan

Clean and fresh!

Kyle Morgan

Recently renovated with a beer growler fill station. They have a nice selection and an upgraded deli with a sausage area. If I didn't have to pass 3 grocery stores to get to it, I would shop there more often.

Kevin Allen

Nice store with some nice Lowes twists, like the sausage counter or craft beer corner. Produce is a little limited. Store isn't open 24 hours.

Penny Ruocchio

very clean. Supplied pretty well even with hurricane Florence 2 days away.

Joseph B

Worst Lowes meat department. Sad

penny daniel

Good prices and friendly staff.

Lauren Carlston

Genuine, friendly staff. Warm atmosphere. Feels local, even though it's a chain. Also an excellent alternative to avoid Harris Teeter.

Stephanie Marie

The beer den makes grocery shopping into a fun errand. ;) Lovely staff, and bright clean store. Keep an eye out for great sale prices on high quality items (of which they have plenty!)

Chris Brown-Treml

Wonderful store.

James Reeves

Best inventory and great prices

Jerome Magolan, Jr.

Very clean with wide variety of fresh and packaged foods.

Mark Skelding

Great place to shop

Denes

Best local grocery store to my area.

CVThiele82 .

Wonderful Grocery Store with an AMAZING Beer Selection and Growler filling Station and freshly made Sausage Bar.

Martin Brossman

Truly committed to local! Hey OK selection of organic food and a very strong selection of locally grown produce.

Connie Moreadith

Bad new manager in the deli. She spoke rudely and condescendingly to your two best employees there. Those guys are the best, she needs to be professional like them.

Anne Faxon

Nice store but doesn't stock Glutinous brand bread.

Mike Taylor

This is my favorite grocery store in Raleigh. The staff is always great the floor plan is easy to navigate and find your food it's not too big of a store. Prices are a little bit higher than normal however they have the best fresh cut fruit great sandwiches huge selection of wine and beer. The management is great they also have Lowes food products which are priced a little bit cheaper but everything that I have had from the Lowe's brand has been pretty good I would recommend it to anyone

Jim Mahaffey

Clean store with a wide variety to choose from!

Mike Golden

Clean store, lots of parking. Self checkouts are great!!

Nick Taylor

Just moved to the area and this is going to be my store. It's large, well decorated and well lit. The aisles are large. The freshly prepped meals, house-made sausages and beer selection are top-notch.

George Tkach

It's a great place to buy groceries.

Calvin Gaunce

No complaints, nice store, recently renovated

JJ L

Clean store, reasonable prices, the Beer Den is awesome, I can enjoy a beer while shopping (beer is a little pricey). Happy staff, well lit, and they have pretty much everything we always need.

James Young

First visit. Great produce. Friendly staff.

Jared Winchester

I love this place since their remodel! They now have a produce prepping station, bottle shop, sausage shop, and panini/pizza deli. Get your growlers filled here!

Jody Norman

Very good deli and bakery, but everything costs $1 to $2 more than Harris Teeter

Renee Coates

Wonderfully helpful staff! Nice selection

Ria Edens

We're big fans of Lowe's. Their wall of bar-b-que sauces is crazy! There are so many to choose from that I can spend too much time on that decision

Angelica Lucas

Loved all the local products offered at this store!

Tay S

I dont like the energy of the staff at this location.

Max Vander Ploeg

Yes! Beer while shopping! And good beer at that! The only way to get me into a grocery store.

Mindy Espinoza

Very clean organized store... pretty cool it has a bar

Hank Watson

Good selection except for yogurt. They don't carry Chonani Coffee. Otherwise, great

diane wallace

Outdated us can. Only 3 work and they are slow. Employee says they are outdated. Meat depot is notoriously wrong with products missing or wrong prices. Many staples are over priced even more than whole foods 1 block away. Only go there for 1 or 2 items. Most staff does not care.

Teresa Scaringelli

Great store, helpful employees.

James Anderson

I haven't been to lowes in years. We got 10.00 off 50.00 coupon so we tried it again. We still do not like Lowe's they are overpriced and the staff is not friendly like other stores. We won't be going back.

Bill Haverland

It's a grocery store. The veggies are good; the meat counter is good; and there's a beer counter. What more could you ask for?

Bettie Simpkins

When I visit Raleigh I always enjoy shopping here.

Harry DeLong

I like the selection and the people.

Maria Georgiou

I like this grocery store and shop here when I'm close by. It's clean, produce is fresh, and there are excellent food options.

Ralph McCrery

Nice ,clean well stocked store

Kevin Egelston

They have a nice deli section with awesome take and bake style pizzas. There is also a large selection of NC made food products including a real ginger ale soda, something unheard of these days.

Mike Rundle

Nice store, cashiers definitely want you to leave a cart at their aisle and don't mind telling you that. Good prices in the ad. Large wine and beer section and great place to find coupons.

Kyle Faltisco

Most expensive but nice environment

Stephen Roche

A clean and bright environment but the staff can be less than hospitable

Darryl Burgess

They have a great selection and decent prices! A great highlight is the Beer Den serving some of the best Craft Beer available.

Cynthia Hernandez

Great selection and excellent customer service!

Kara Smith

Everyone is so kind and helpful. Love this store.

Jeff Romano

Nice clean store the butcher is very friendly

Gregori Rosales

This is by far my favorite Lowes Food location I just recently moved from Raleigh and I hated the fact that I was going to leave this grocery store behind. The staff here has always been so nice and it's always going above and beyond to ever help me with anything that I have needed. The store is kept very well maintained its very clean and the bathrooms have always been maintained as well. By far one of the nicest grocery stores have ever been to the bakery Deli and Meat Department of a very large variety of items. My two-year-old daughter was completely obsessed with the chicken that moves in the deli they would always play The Chicken Dance song and the staff used to always come out from the deli area to do it it made her day. And it always made our visit to Lowes Foods so eventful thanks you guys for always going above and beyond and being so great I will definitely miss shopping here that's for sure.
