Gotta love Publix. Organized and clean usual. Always someone willing to help. After all customer service is always important.

Scott in the deli was very impressive yesterday when we ordered subs. We had 4 subs, all different and some required boars head cheese to be cut and he was more than happy to comply. Unlike others in the past we we’ve very pleased.

Clean, friendly, huge layout and amazing subs! Believe or not, we were back in town from Seattle and had to make a special stop to get a Publix sub. These things are legendary. Our absolute go to is the buffalo chicken tender sub. The bread is so fresh and soft, the tenders so crisp and delicious, and the veggies to top it all off! The stop was well worth it, now expand to the west coast already! :)

Awesome supermarket but it’s totally crazy busy like all of the time. If you can get by without a shopping cart, do it. Otherwise you’ll be playing shopping cart derby while you’re there. Amazing quality meat, fresh and incredible produce and the friendliest staff anywhere. Oh and the buy one, get one deals are constant and great! This is my grocery store and I won’t go anywhere else.

I really really hate coming to this Publix. The store itself is mostly fine but I think the parking lot was designed by a scientist who generally designs mazes for lab rats. Just while trying to find a parking space, I nearly have an accident about ten times so I try to park far away to limit my time navigating it. Then while walking it’s another obstacle trying to walk between cars in this odd space of mismatched slanted spots. I’ve mostly stopped shopping at publix all together for this reason. But also because their selection of organic products is quite slim and I can find all I need at local natural food stores. Maybe the new publix they are rebuilding across the street(which I insist was perfectly fine as it was) will solve this matter.

I love this Publix. They carry evvvverything. If you’re new to Publix, try their Publix brand items. I buy quite a few of them. Also an excellent selection of Greenwise and gluten free items. The butchers and fish dept. are helpful and friendly. It does get packed, like some of the other reviews say but if you hit any grocery store around 5p I think that’s to be expected, duh! Custom order items are tasty here, too… Publix cakes are highly popular at our school!

Until I got to this store I wasn’t too wild about Publix. This store changed all that. Yeah its crowded, because EVERYONE wants to shop here!!! Other than that issue, they have great selections everywhere in the store but the BEERAISLE! Someone please fix the beer selection, PLEASE. The other common denominator with this store is that every time they get an employee that’s got a clue, they get moved or they quit. Seems a shame! Everyone is really nice, but once in while you need a little help with something, and well I think maybe we have the peter principle in full swing here.

This is a very nice upscale Publix. They offer online deli ordering and have a nice sushi bar, It does get a bit busy on Sundays but overall this is a very nice Publix.

This location and size of this Publix doesn’t work for this area. To accommodate the amount of traffic this Publix gets, it’s needs to be a lot bigger. Fortunately, there’s another, more easily accessible Publix right across the street… Go there instead! No matter what hour you’re going, you’re going to have problems parking. The parking lot design is horrendous! There’s a section of diagonal lanes and other sections of north/south spaces and just flat out not enough for all the stores in this shopping center. A tip is to park in a lot behind the building, accessible by first street. Inside the store, again, it’s too small, so forgetaboutit if you’re going during prime hours. This still gets three stars because the staff is always friendly and well managed. And the store is well lit, clean and organized. If you work off hours and can make it when it’s less crowded, you’re OK to go here. If you’re just looking get in and get out or having to shop during prime hours definitely go somewhere else.

Quite often I purchase their produce and it’ s not in good shape or it’s beginning to mold. I have had to return their produce at least 3 times. There is usually always someone ready to help though.

I LOVE shopping at Publix stores, and this is one of the best I’ve ever been to. Customer service at Publix is always the best. Although the other reviewer is not very happy with the deli service, I’ve always been treated like a king at Publix. The deli subs are DELICIOUS, as is their chicken and salads. The bakery always pumps out fresh, delicious bread, rolls, and cakes. The produce department is always filled with fresh fruits and veggies, and this store especially churns out great food, especially in the organic department. I LOVE the beer selection in this store. I live and die with Samuel Adams beer, and this store has the best selection of Sam I’ve ever seen in a grocery store. Lots of craft brews as well as the usual American beers. The entire store is well-stocked, clean, and they always offer up great deals, especially the BOGOs. Also stoked at the attached liquor store– I really wish my local Publix had one, I would save a ton of money by shopping there(although the beer selection is way better in the actual Publix). I don’t know what it is with this Publix that sets it apart from all the other’s I’ve reviewed, but this store RULES. I wish I lived in the area, I’d be in here almost daily. Definitely a go-to if you’re in the area. Where shopping is a pleasure!

Big with exceptional service. I’ve never used the deli/sub shop so the previous reviewer may well be right. But, the store itself is BIG they have a huge well stocked produce department. They have a great meat department etc. etc… The staff are very friendly and VERY helpful. One day I was looking for rye flower. The guy I asked told me it was going to take him a few minutes to find it and for me to continue shopping and he would find me and bring it to me when he found it.(really, he did I promise). And they’re ALL like that all the time as far as I can tell. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because I’ve been in stores in other places that are better stocked.(I’d … well I’d do something drastic for a big Harris Teeter or a Trader Joe’s) But this is the best that I’ve found in Pinellas county.

AVOIDTHEDELIEDUBSHOPATALLCOSTS! IT’S ONEHOTMESS! I live a few blocks away and have been visiting this Publix for many years. Recently their service has taken a nosedive. About 3 nights a week I will go in for a sub. What use to be a fast and efficient process has turned into a complete nightmare. They keep one person behind the counter from 6 to 9PM. You will often wait in line in excess of 20 minutes only to find out when you’re next in line that they are out of most breads. I have sent them two emails regarding this situation but apparently they don’t care. Last night I was there… and again… after an exceptionally long wait I could only get my Ultimate Sub on cuban bread(this happened twice last week as well). The sad part is that the Publix across the street has a much smaller deli area, and no matter when you visit, there is never a long wait, and they never run out of bread — I know my one star rating seems a bit severe, but how would you feel if more often than not you wait in a long line only to be told when it’s your turn that they are out of everything. Truly a disaster.
