The original WF is in Austin.

Fair Lakes is the best in the area!

No, one opened in Orlando Florida that was purported to be the biggest. It is indeed huge and awesome.

Falls Church by Tysons is really nice compared to the one in Vienna - the Vienna one isn't that great and the salad bar is pitiful.

The prepared foods at the new one by GW is really amazing. The store is not so big, but the prepared food and selection, great.

I think the opposite is true: Tenleytown is small and you can barely get through the narrow aisles and the new one at Freindship Heights seems like it is twice as big. Friendship Heights also has a much larger bakery section. The small garage at Tenleytown can get very crowded too.


Compared to what? Tenleytown WF sucks. It is totally claustrophobic. FH is far superior. Only problem is no wine, but the MoCo liquor store is across the street.

When Fair Lakes was built, it was modeled after this location, or maybe vice versa? For a brief time, it was the biggest WF in the country.

A few of the Emeril Green episodes were filmed at the Fair Lakes location. The prepared foods selection is amazing and the store itself is spacious and I find the employees to be incredibly helpful.

Oh, and the cafe space is gigantic! Try them for Sunday brunch.

I love friendship heights. Biggest downfall is no booze. But the staff there is amazing and everything is always so fresh. Hands die. My favorite place to shop.
