The store is bigger than most publix I have been to however I don’t like the lighting. It makes it looks dreary even on the brightest days. The employees are truly hit or miss, I’ve experienced great customer service in the deli but horrible service in the bakery. I don’t know why the women in the bakery dept act as if it’s such a chore to do their job. Especially when the deli dept works a hell of a lot harder! Produce staff work harder than the bakery staff but I digress. I do appreciate I’ve seen management bust ass with employees the times I’ve gone. I can’t put my finger on it but this is one of my least favorite publix to come to, I will literally pass this one sometimes just to go to the one on veterans memorial. I’m giving 2 out of 5 stars because the African American women in the bakery have too much attitude for no apparent reason. There are stock girls with more energy and personality than the females in the bakery dept.

I shop Publix’s weekly, they have a lot of BOGO free offers and if you only need one it’s half price. The employees are very friendly and helpful.

It’s a pretty standard/basic Publix. Nice staff willing to assist you whenever they can. The store itself isn’t the best Publix around, Vinings has it beat by a long shot. However, it’s still got everything you need for a super market and its definitely better than the old feeling Kroger across the street.

Even though this is the closest Publix to me, I avoid going here unless I get lazy. I prefer to go to the one on South Cobb Dr or even the one on Vinings. I guess I’m too fancy pants for this Publix. I mean, it’s a Publix, so it has all the Publix features. It looks clean, the people are helpful, and they have plenty of parking. But it’s also one of the smaller Publix I’ve been too, and they don’t seem to have many stuff compared to the other Publixes. I do understand why they don’t carry much stuff. It makes sense. I don’t think the people shopping here would care about San Marzano tomatoes or sushi. Speaking of sushi, this is one Publix where I couldn’t find fast-food sushi. Sure, Publix’s sushi doesn’t compare to Hayakwa’s. But when I’m in a hurry, they do the job, and it’s cheap. For a while, this Publix didn’t carry sushi. Now they finally carry it. Then again, I don’t know if I would consider this Publix’s sushi, «sushi,» even by Publix sushi standards. But like I said, the people here don’t look like sushi aficionados to care. I think it’s fine for basic grocery shopping needs. It’s not cheap as the Aldi’s across the street of course, but at least they sell wine. But if you want a more selection, I would just drive a bit farther to the other Publixes in the area.

I’m generally a fan of Publix Super Markets. They’re bright, clean, and stock all the typical grocery items I need. This Publix in Mableton is located near other neighborhood grocery stores including a Kroger directly across the street. I’ve stopped by this Publix 2 – 3 times over the past year or so to pick up food and drinks for parties and cookouts at a friend’s house nearby. In my experience, this store is never busy. It’s also relatively smaller than other Publix stores I’ve been in I’ve picked up birthday cakes, pies, cookies, and jugs of Arnold Palmer«Tee»(½ tea, ½ lemonade drink). I was pleasantly surprised to see they stock different varieties of Arnold Palmer Tee: regular, low calorie, and zero calorie. You can also find some pretty good deals in the bakery, e.g. Dutch Apple Pie for $ 3.99, and the pie is pretty tasty. There aren’t that many checkout lanes, about a half dozen, and only a few are open at any given time. Normally, this isn’t a problem, but I have gotten backed up here once. Easy in-and-out from the parking lot.
