My sister finally took me here! I've heard so much about this grocery store. I love to cook, so it's always fun exploring different grocery stores that we don't have in California. I don't think anything will measure up to HEB in Texas, but it's good to check out nevertheless. :)This place is clean, new and definitely tailors to people who don't have a lot of time to cook. Lots of prepared food, and just from what I've tasted like their crab cakes (very reasonably priced at $7 for a huge one), and small tray of lobster Mac and cheese for $28, their food is better than Whole Foods. They had different size trays of charcuterie boards as well. It was right before NYE, so lots of choices for entertaining. I would have loved to grab a sandwich and walk up to the International Baccalaureate grounds and sit by the enormous Christmas tree up on street level. It was such a nice day when we went.Prices are pretty good, but I wasn't able to find a few things that I needed. Had to go to Safeway for that. 18 count eggs were less than $3!!! Omg I'd shop here all the time. Parking is easy and they do validate. My sister lives about 15 minutes from here and my favorite DC bakery is a block away, so I will have my sister take me back here next time I visit DC.

The creme brûlée cheesecake was very good, but it is a very, very small slice. The gingerbread cake may be the most moist cake I've ever eaten. It is worth it! However, it has too much icing, which overtakes and mutes the gingerbread flavor. That being said, don't skip it! Make sure you get it!!

One of the worst burgers I have tried. Flavorless frozen patties.

Why would anyone give this place one star is beyond me. Yes most of it's food is expensive but it was meant to be upscale. What I do appreciate about Wegmans, (other than the three isles of alcohol you can barely find anywhere else), are the premium meats and specific ready to eat foods. Pro tips:11. I usually get breakfast sausage patties here (Wegmans brand is very yummy and affordable). Also Like to by the thin cut Korean style short rib, perfect over a flame at home, reasonably priced usually around $11.99 a pound and very very high quality melt in your mouth beef. 2. Cookies are overpriced but their fresh made sandwich cookies and also their cheese cake is super super yummy 9.5 stars. Still cheaper than any restaurant.3. $4 dollar pizza by the slice is awesome and delicious, hard to beat that in NW DC unless you want to ingest the mystery food at McDonalds. 4. Highest quality beef roasts when available, seems only a few times a year but marbling is off the charts and reasonably priced. I start mine in the smoker and finish in the oven. Slice and freeze extra slices for later, family favorite.5. If you have not tried their triple crème rich flavored Wegmans soft cheese you are missing out. Also their sliced pepperoni is amazing. I tend to have cheese and crackers when I'm stuck in morning meetings and this is my go to. Also side note: the Wegmans brand rosemary wheat crackers are the best with this. I like to pair with a double espresso.Long story short, yes Wegmans is expensive, but if you take some time you will find great deals and don't skip on trying their brand name stuff.

I absolutely love Wegmans !!!! And this location happens to have an amazing alcohol section so it is definitely one of my favorites. They literally have liters of tequila for $50. You can't beat that!!! They also have a great hot bar, burger bar, sandwich bar, sushi bar, and pizza bar! I've tried them all and honestly have no complaints. There is also plenty of spaces for you to sit down and enjoy your meal if that's what you choose to do. I also love the quick meals they have put together in here. I got a seafood boil for $30 and can't wait to add my seasonings to it later. I also love their cheese, and olive section. They have so many amazing cheeses, nuts, and olives. The fresh fruits and veggies are also a plus here and there is so much meat. I love fresh meat and they keep an abundance of it. Lots of organic and healthy options as well. The bakery is to die for with all the yummy cakes, and desserts. My personal favorite are the double chocolate chip cookies! There's also a great plant/flower section with lots to pick from. If you're a plant lover like me check out that section towards the back of the store. For the most part anything you need they have. Lol. The store is very clean and pretty big for it to be randomly placed in the city. They have onsite parking just get your ticket validated for free before you leave out the store.

This review is strictly for the Burger Bar in their hot foods section! I got the Maple Onion Burger, only $11, coming in a box with a fun Burger Bar logo design. I think it's a pretty good deal for the area, if you don't want to go to a fast food joint. Among the eateries that cook food to-order in Wegmans, I also think it's one of the tastiest. The Wegmans has a large dining area inside, so plenty of space to eat your freshly made burgers. There's also a sink area to wash your hands! It's a nice place for a quick stop before or after your Wegmans grocery journey.

Very disappointing, especially considering that it's a Wegmans. They often run out of basic items in stock! Makes me not want to give my money to an establishment that does not put in the effort to do the bare minimum. Extremely frustrating and unacceptable. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I love this store. It feels like a less expensive version of Whole Foods (with less plant based choices). There are lots of prepared food items (pizza, soup, hot bar stars like macaroni & cheese, etc) that you can enjoy while sitting in the dining area. You can charge your phone at most of the tables. The plugs by the booths are hidden. If you have a small child with you, have them crawl under the table & plug your cord in. Otherwise, you will have to feel for the plug or look under the table. The bakery area has great bread and festive cookies. The store validates up to two hours of parking.

This was my second experience here. I placed an order online for curbside pickup thinking it would expedite my shopping experience but it seems there's still a need for improvement with this process. Instructions are provided when you select the pickup option but it still was a little confusing to me as to where to go and how to get there. The garage is like a labyrinth but there are signs to guide you to the curbside pickup area. You're supposed to check in and provide the number of the parking spot you're in but my phone service must've been shoddy because it did not recognize I was there for the app to give me the option to check in...it thought I was still 2 minutes away. (I can't be the only AT&T customer to have run into this problem) The signs in the parking spots instruct you to call a phone number if you have any trouble so I did, but nobody answered! It went to a voicemail that hadn't been setup. I had to call the direct number to the store and speak to someone with customer service. Thankfully, I wasn't placed on hold for an eternity and she was friendly and let someone know I was outside. It took a few minutes but someone finally came out and loaded everything in the car. This experience wasn't a deal breaker for me so I'll be back. I just won't be a frequent customer and know what I'm up against until improvements are made.
Wegmans has a cult following, and I really don't get the hype. I appreciated that this store has a manageable size unlike the Glenarden location and a parking lot not designed by someone on LSD (I'm looking at you, Trader Joe's). Once you scratch the shiny surface, you realize this is just another grocery store, but one that gives Whole Foods/Whole Paycheck a run for its money. The prices seem competitive for produce, maybe a bit high for dairy and dry goods, but the meats and seafood are crazy expensive. Prepared foods are right up there too, most of which didn't look very exciting to me, and $13 for a small portion of pasta in tomato sauce seems beyond crazy. After hearing so much excitement about this place, I guess I expected more but I don't think I've found any reason to go out of my way to shop here.

Woot! Woot! A Wegmans has finally landed in D.C.! Dang, I thought Whole Foods Market was bougie. Y'all, Wegmans takes the cake and then some! I ain't mad at cha, Wegmans! As a matter of fact, I'm keeping you on heavy rotation. And here's why...-Seafood department is top-notch. So many options! Found everything from crab cakes to snow crab clusters to scallops. Spotted live lobsters in a tank. Lots of fresh salmon...at least five different cuts to choose from.-An awesome variety of prepared food. Enough sushi, pizza, sandwiches, and salads to make your head spin! The Asian packaged meals are absolutely delicious.-Need some gourmet eats for a soirée or cookout? Look no further than Wegmans. Their wine and cheese game is on point. They even have ready-to-cook kabobs...great for getting your grill on!-Fresh and flavorful produce.-For the most part, the prices here are pretty fair (compared to other grocery stores in the area).-Self-check out stations on the premises.-A snazzy looking dining area with plenty of seating. Outdoor seating is also available.-Friendly team members who like to chop it up with the customers.-Free two-hour parking garage validation.Verdict? I'm definitely a fan! Wegmans is everything I look for in a grocery store...well-organized, aesthetically appealing, excellent selection in every department, and fab customer service. A wonderful addition to the Tenleytown neighborhood!

This Wegman's is obviously smaller than other suburban stores but I expect City should have Wegman's as well and this is how Wegman's should be in town.Something was omit such as cut vegetable counter and volume of bigger Wegman's but this is good enough for town life.Though, some items feels like little more expensive than other stores but it's kind of acceptable range.We can get all what's needed here for our patio BBQ or even backyard BBQ party.Many variety of eat-in foods and take out items and big seating spaces in and out is I think so useful.This is in-town location, "Narrow", "Crowded", "Small" and "Higher prices", yes maybe true but it is the location and no compare to big, wide and cheaper country side.Basement parking was plenty and always available and free with a validation.Wines and beers are available but also whiskey, spirits etc, all there.

OMG - these early reviews are hilarious! Narrow aisles? Reduced selection? You do realize that this store is on the ground floor of an apartment building and not sitting in a 10-acre field surrounded by parking, right? It is about half the size of a traditional suburban store, but it is still a welcome addition to upper NWDC. For those of us who have had to endure the ordeal of the Wisconsin Ave Giant, or (even more horrific) the Safeway down the street, this Wegmans is a refreshing alternative. I especially appreciate the helpful overview of the liquor department from a shopper who admittedly doesn't drink alcohol. I am familiar with the Wegmans store brands and I think they are all great. The produce department has summer items that I have never seen in any other grocery store. The meat selection in the butcher case and prepackaged section are terrific. I avoid seafood and sushi, so I will keep my commentary to myself on those departments. Haha!I do agree that the price on prepared items is too high. I don't think $13 for one serving of pasta seems like a good value, or something that you would buy for lunch regularly. $23 for the same 'family size' entree seems better if you can get four servings out of it - but not the way my family eats pasta! I think the management should take a look at the pricing on those individual entrees. I think Wegmans has always had an unconventional layout. If they are like every other grocery store, they will keep moving stuff around and hopefully, they will come upon a merchandising flow that seems more intuitive. You do have to pay attention to the endcaps and islands - you may find some cool stuff on those that you might just walk right past. I am willing to give them some more time to get settled and make it all work really well.

Maybe they should have waited to open a Wegmans in DC until they were ready to give us the same quality store as the ones in Virginia. The store is much smaller than other Wegmans I've been to over the years and the prices are much higher. I'm used to finding a wide selection and reasonable prices. Not here. In addition, the hot food sections are mediocre compared to other locations. Less variety. Few vegetarian options. Just generally disappointing. Why did they do DC like this? What did we do to Wegmans to deserve this level of disrespect?
