Publix Super Market

What sets this Publix on the map is it’s one of a kind customer service. The staff here are the most helpful and customer friendly of any Publix you will find in Atlanta. It’s no hardship for them to guide you down an aisle to find what you’re looking for, greet you as you come in, or find some creative way to make you smile, and feel like part of the Publix family. The store is always well stocked with a variety of foods including international favorites, fresh organic fruits and vegetables, and mouth watering pastries. If they’re out of an item, they’ll go so far as to travel to other Publix stores just to keep you appeased. Truly a place worth shopping. 5 stars across the board.

I do enjoy my neighborhood Publix grocery store very much. I’ve been to other Pubix stores where the employees are more friendly than this location, but overall I would say that this location has strong customer service. The store is a little smaller than I would prefer and becomes crowded during the typical busy times. I.E. after work and during the weekends. The parking lot is also small and it’s hard to find good parking. However, a Publix employee always walks me to my car and unloads my groceries into my car’s trunk for me. I do appreciate that service the mist and is the reason I like shopping here.

The Pharmacy staff here are AMAZING! They are always courteous, helpful and even go online to find you coupons on your prescriptions — without having to ask!

Appreciate the selection and revamp of the store. Regardless of how nice it is inside, I just had to re-​bag all of my groceries once in my car because the haphazard packing by the bagger.

Location is going through renovation so very excited to see how it turns out, but so far it looks great. Staff is very friendly and helpful and they always have what we are looking for. Definitely recommend.

Same old, same old, but consistency is a good thing. This is a typical Publix. Same uninspired service, same run of the mill products, and same nondescript décor. Throw in the BOGO thrills, and that’s Publix. You come to expect that from pretty much every location.

This Publix is located in the heart of Buckhead, and is considerably larger than the smaller Publix stores located at West Paces and Peachtree Battle. As indicated by the name, the store is situated within «the Peach» shopping center which is always bustling with cars looking to go to Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, etc. The parking lot can get pretty crowded at peak times so just be aware.
The Publix itself is a good size and has a great selection of produce, deli meats and cheeses, bakery items, wine, flowers, etc. If you buy a loaf of bread from the bakery then do not hesitate to ask them to slice it for you for free! The deli department also does a great job of allowing you to sample any meats or cheeses that you are purchasing. This Publix also holds cooking demonstrations with free samples on a frequent basis, and the food is always wonderful — check it out! This store does a great job with its specialty displays, and goes all out for holidays and sporting events, giving the store a fun/​family vibe. All of the employees are very friendly and go out of their way to assist you should you have a question.
There is a Redbox located in the front right entrance if you are looking to pick up a movie. There is also a Suntrust inside the store and an ATM where you can deposit checks and cash. This Publix has an Atlanta police officer patrolling the entrances at all times, which allows patrons to feel safe while they shop!

Living in Buckhead I expect much more out of my local supermarket… Definitely time to update this location. Homeless people digging through the trash when you walk in is a unpleasant start to your shopping experience. The interior is completely dated when you walk in. We have one of the nicest wholefoods down the street, time to step your game up publix.
I know working in the publix Deli is not the most glorious job in the world but come on John, try not to be so miserable. I asked for whole Philly cheese steak on white and before I can request Boarshead, John says he’ll be right back and goes to cut the publix brand roast beef. When he comes back I ask him if it’s Boarshead and he says yes… He asks me if all the toppings are ok and «I say yes, and can you also add jalapenos please?» He just awkwardly chuckled.
As John is putting my Philly together he grabs two dirty sheets of paper the previous sandwich maker just made her buffalo chicken finger sub on… He then wraps my Philly minus the jalapenos that he did not put on in the dirty paper. When he hands me the sub it clearly has the publix brand meat price… Thank you John
I’m really glad I decided to get some Deli meat while I was there too. At least I got the Boarshead meat I asked for this time. However, the girl slicing my meat dropped it and caught it between her apron and the counter and then continued to slice on a disgustingly filthy slicer… Clean your equipment before slicing new meat. Complete amateur hour in the outdated, customer service-​lacking, buckhead publix.
I think I’ll drive out of my way to the Brookhaven location from now on to get my Deli fix.

Publix, where shopping is a pleasure. Indeed it is.
They have a good selection of fresh foods and quality meats. It is much less expensive than Fresh Market or Whole Foods. I really enjoy the Publix staff at this location. Every area in the store has friendly employees who are ready to help you with whatever it is you need.
Combine all of this with the occasional penny item and all of the BOGOS and you have a great shopping experience.
Only reason it is a 4 star review is that while Whole Foods is more expensive I believe it is worth it.

Publix generally has very clean stores and friendly staff, and this location is no exception. I prefer this location to the midtown Publix because it’s larger with a greater variety of items. Nice produce, some organic foods, and a spacious deli.
Always check the weekly ad because staple items like pasta, tomato sauce, and frozen vegetables are buy-​one-​get-​one-​free every couple weeks or so– it’s a great way to stock up and save money on things that don’t spoil.

Great local Publix. The only drawback is poor service at the deli. It is also not as big as some, but that is expected in the city.

Publix is always a great place to shop. This one in particular is good for people watching… There’s also a huge Barnes & Noble next door with a Starbucks inside of it.

The deli is awesome. If they have some freshly made fried chicken do yourself a favor and buy you some. It’s one of the best pieces of fried chicken that I have ever had! I go to this store often and I never have to wait in any long line. Very good store

Where shopping has always been a pleasure. I hadn’t set foot in a Publix in eons, more or less because there have been none conveniently located. This Publix, or any Publix for that matter, sparks childhood memories. The same flooring, lighting, and impeccable cleanliness have survived into the 21^st century. Like coming home.
In this case, I popped in to get bottled water. The place wasn’t very busy, so I had three clerks behind the cash register, all smiling, and all focused on me (not on a conversation amongst themselves). Peachy keen!

I don’t know why I keep coming to this dump.
Listen, I LOVE Publix. The exceptional customer service is worth any detours I have to take to get to one. But this isn’t the sunshine-​and-​salutations Publix you see the on commercials. No, this is Bizarro Publix: Where shopping is stress test.
There are couple of really decent people here, but I’d say ~60% of the people I’ve interacted with have been awful. I’ve had the security guard tail me for ten minutes BEFORE closing, trying to pressure me to checkout (as if I wasn’t going as fast as I can – this isn’t the French Riviera. I’m not trying to SAVOR THE MOMENT). I know for a fact that Publix trains its employees on how to bag groceries, yet I still have people toss cartons of ice cream and milk jugs and jars of olives into the bags full of salad and tomatoes and bread. This place also has the worst produce of any grocery store I’ve ever been to. It’s like the people in that department don’t understand that rotting produce will only encourage surrounding produce to turn. They just throw fresh stuff on top of rotting stuff. I have actually seen guys stack trays of fresh berries on top of fuzzy ones, pile plump tomatoes on top of putrid ones. They seriously could not care less. I should mention, though, that when I pointed out that the fresh tomatoes were sitting on top of a pile of oozing red discs, someone at customer service apologized and notified the manager. The produce continues to be hit or miss, though, especially the tomatoes.
I’ve wanted to rage about this Publix so many times, but what happened tonight is the kicker. When I was loading my groceries onto the checkout belt, I realized one of my cereal boxes was leaking. I notified the bagger and asked him to put the cereal in its own bag, on its side, to prevent more leaking, and he said okay. The man had a really heavy accent, so when I saw him drop the cereal, standing upright, in a bag with another box, I figured he must have had difficulty understanding what I was saying (not a big deal, just happens when you live in a melting pot). When he went to put the bag into my cart, I reached for it so I could separate the items so there wouldn’t be cereal all over the place. That’s when he snapped at me, saying that he did what I asked him to do, and then SNATCHED MY GROCERIES OUT OF MY HANDS. Are you freaking kidding me? I guess I was in shock, because I wasn’t really able to process just how ridiculous this was until I got into my car. I don’t think livid even touches it.
I don’t know how anyone could endorse the produce here, but maybe they’re eating different stuff than I do (mostly berries, tomatoes, salad, squash, apples). And I should mention that I almost always shop at night (between 7pm-​11pm), so I might just be interacting with a crappier shift of people.

This is my neighborhood grocery for non-​organic items!
I love the management here because they’ll take all my coupons with no lip. Shopping really is a pleasure here!
The Deli sandwiches are effing phenomenal and made with lots of love. Tip for Single Ladies: This sub line is a great place to meet guys at 7pm. TRUST ME! Lol
Any and everyone will help you in this store. I get the feeling that they pay their employees well and treat them with respect. They are always smiling. I love that.
Stop in and you’ll become addicted.

Okay, here’s the scene.
Store closes in 10 minutes, however, the seafood department closed over an hour ago.
My daughter is suppose to be making shrimp cocktails for a party she having the following day.
We go up to the customer service counter and ask the manager if he can call the Publix about another mile or so down the road and see if their seafood counter is still open.
He does, but while, he’s on hold, he asks, if there is an issue with the counter here. We reply, that its closed already.
He promptly hangs up the phone, and pages someone within this store, within one or two minutes another man comes up to front the store, and ask why he’s being paged.
The manager explains that we want shrimp and instructs him to help us. Both the daughter and I are standing there just waiting for this guy to give attitude or something, but he looks at the two of us and says… how much shrimp you ladies need?
Really, they do it like this at Publix???
Seeing as how they were about to open the entire seafood department back up just for us, we told him we needed 3 pounds. I mean its shrimp, they aren’t going to go to waste and we were planning on getting two pounds anyway.
CELEBRITY SIGHTING. We see Ruben Studdard of American Idol fame exiting the store just as we are. No, he was not asking the store to re-​open closed departments… leave that to the non-​celebs like me.
Great customer service and location. Easy to get in and out, and ample parking.

This is my basic everyday supermarket. Their quality of produce is far superior to Kroger. Excellent customer service from all departments. Their BOGO (buy one get one) is fantastic, and they are so accommodating in that if you only purchase one, you still get that for 50%!!! Appararently this is standard for all Publix in GA.

So, I waver on frozen food picks. In one sense, they’re convenient and you can get some even-​healthy/​sized-​for-​one picks if you pay attention. And I’ve been told frozen veggies can be better for you than fresh, depending on when the store (s) sell them and what’s been done to the produce before freezing or stocking fresh.
That being said, I’ve mostly limited myself to bags of spinach that I’ll use part of then freeze, or the single-​serving packs of corn. A lot of the «veggie mixes» have some kind of sauce and/​or a LOT of sodium. But today, I decided to get a bag of Bird’s Eye white rice with carrots, corn and peas; I sauteed some onion and mushrooms to throw into the finished dish and voila! YUM. This pkg will be a go-​to for me from now on, as one package is good for two meals, easy, and it’s tasty and simple to add whatever other veggies I have on hand once the rice pkg is cooked.
Bird’s Eye — bulls-​eye! Yay! Publix has a great selection and I may just have to try others after this good experiment!

I’ve yet to see a bad Publix, although I was taken aback by the flyer warning employees that child care is not an acceptable excuse for rescheduling a promotion test at the last minute. I thought Publix tried to be woman-​friendly, but I can see clearly that it’s easier to get a promotion at Publix if you’ve got a wife. (And yes, I know that men, in families that include male parents, *should* care for children.)
No, what really bugged me about this Publix is what it lacks, given all that it’s got. A lot of Publix stores have a pegboard of Badia spices that contain, for a buck or so, enough of whatever spice you want to get you through a recipe. This one only has a few bottles of Badia spices, leaving you at the mercy of McCormick. $ 3.99 for ground coriander when I need a few teaspoons? Hell no.
And really, what’s the point of being open until 11pm if the seafood area is tumbleweed-​empty an hour before closing time? We had shrimp on the shopping list, but we sure as hell don’t have it on our refrigerator shelf.
I was happy that the pharmacy was able to fill a highly regulated prescription within the 15 minutes before they closed (another go-​home-​early department, alas).
Just don’t expect the normal high standard of Publix services if you arrive after 9pm. They’re only *mostly* open after nine.
