Publix

The woman making the subs had the worst customer service I’ve ever seen. Could not have moved any slower and clearly did not care about work or the quality of work she was doing. 10+ minutes to make one sub.

Yikes the most poorly ran publix I’ve been to. 20 minutes at the deli and then lines of 10 people at the few open registers. Had to ask the manager to open more lanes. Felt like I was at Walmart! Lots of staff on the floor and cleaning but no customer regard. Not going back to this publix.

I love Publix, it is my favorite grocery chain of our local options. This location is always so busy, it makes me wonder if there should be another store close by. I’ll avoid this place on the weekend, even if I need something because it’s such a mad house. Often times there are not even any carts available, which I find quite frustrating. Overall the in store experience is a consistent and positive Publix one, but I wish the bakery had some better options like the Palm Harbor stores do — ciabatta, challah rolls, garlic loaf bread, etc. The wait in the deli is also ridiculous — for cold cuts/​cheese, Publix Subs, or hot deli foods. I order ahead whenever I want cold cuts or subs, helps tremendously.

Absolutely brilliant! A proper wholefoods store, fresh, honest and vegan. The team are great and the choice is fantastic. It’s so wonderful to be able to be able to go grocery shopping knowing everything is vegan. Thank you Publix!

The store has been well kept every time that I’ve stopped in and the staff has always been helpful in aiding me if I needed help finding something.
I really like that they have their healthier options in a separate location right up front by the registers. This makes my shopping fairly easy to do.
They have a nice selection of vegetables and fruits. The quality of produce has been good from what I’ve selected.
I do wish that they had some better options for their natural food bars, such as ProBar or something similar, but maybe those will be coming in the future.
Overall a clean store that has the majority of what I am looking for.

This store is filled with the most helpful and personable associates. Here is one of plenty of examples:
My wife mentioned to the young bagger that we recently relocated to the area. Instead of the typical «Oh yeah?» response, she was excited that we live in the Tampa Bay area, and gave tons of suggestions for restaurants, parks, beaches and points of interest in the area. She cared. And everyone we’ve met in the store has shared that feeling. Everyone.
The store is organized, bright, clean and every aisle is full of product, and it all looks great. These are the the reasons why we love shopping here. Nice job!

Publix… where shopping is a pleasure!
For being at the extremely busy intersection of Hillsborough and Memorial Hwy, this Publix is smaller than I would have anticipated. This is also one of those instances in which I wish I could give 3.5 stars. The parking situation here is pretty atrocious. There are folks trying to navigate off of the 3 turning lanes from Memorial, coming off of Hillsborough, or trying to exit at the light on Lagoon. There are random angles and stops in the parking lot which make it pretty treacherous.
Like all Publix, the workers are friendly, efficient and very helpful. This particular location is staged differently from many of the others I have been too, and I was offered assistance several times. I guess my deer-​in-​the-​headlights look could be seen from miles away and was a beacon to those friendly little helpers in the green vests.
The deli department was fully stocked and all of the fruit and veggies looked fresh. Due to it’s location, this Publix seemed pretty crowded for the time I went. That being said, all lanes were open and there was no wait, which meant I didn’t have to stare at those ridiculous headlines before heading on my merry way (Seriously? Caitlyn is in love with a woman… who used to be man? Wait, doesn’t the defeat the purpose of…).

This is my Publix! There customer service is OUTSTANDING and I appreciate the fact that if the lines get out of control, the management will get on a line to take customers, and more than one too.
I love the deals and savings I get here and the store is always clean, and that is very important.
Parking is always convenient which makes running in and out easy.
I love the hot foods and the selections. Also, I’d you want something specific they have no problem preparing it for you.

What can I say, all Publix are not created equal. This one is a step above the norm, but not the best. This Publix is located in the shopping center on the South –East corner of Sheldon, just before Gunn Hwy.
It is a fair sized store and has most of the usual suspects, that most Publix has. I love that with almost all Publix, you can find everything in about the same location.
For once, they had enough checkers & did not give me any hassles on my rain checks.
This is a nice, clean & friendly Publix, that carries a large variety of goods.
What’s a girl to do? Find the best values at the best stores.

Been shopping at this location for a couple of years now and love the customer service! I know that’s their motto but they truly love by those words taking care of their shoppers… even when they are not obliged to.
The only thing that’s preventing them from receiving a five-​star rating is the design of the parking lot. It is horrendous to turn into and the design is not in favor for vehicles starting from mid-​sized trucks on.
The meat quality is always the best and ALWAYS have a BOGO somewhere in the store for an item you want/​need for the week.
They usually get their stuff together when it gets busy but it best to go at early morning or night to be off times with the usual crowds on the weekends.
I would recommend this grocery store to anyone considering I was a Sweetbay customer for the longest time until they were bought out by BI-​LO in 2011.

Publix is my preferred grocery store and this location at the corner of Hillsborough and Sheldon embodies the spirit of why.
The customer service staff, cashiers, baggers, butchers and bakers are all top quality and deliver a level of customer service and friendliness which you just will not find at competitors. This is the Publix differentiator clearly.
Selection at this location is good and I can generally find exactly what I need very quickly. The store is also very clean.
Another thing I like about Publix is they always have a free cookie and ballon for kids. This helps when shopping with kids and trying to keep them happy at the same time. Happy kids = Happy parents shopping.
The prices are actually decent although I am sure other stores may be a little cheaper. For me, I am willing to pay a little more for a better shopping experience.

This is My Favorite Publix!
I love that they have an in house butcher & fish market ready to cut a fresh slice of steak or get a bigger lobster tail if the ones in the case are not to your liking. The butcher & fish market staff have always been very pleasant to deal with and have even given me cooking tips on how to cook the lobster tails i ordered.
They have great wine selections and even do demos here on how to cook quick dishes during certain times of the day. Their grocery baggers always are very quick and attentive & although I’ve never taken advantage of it, they’ve always offered to carry my bags to my car which is greatly appreciated.
Most importantly the checkout lines are usually never more than 3 people deep which makes for easy & fast transactions! And they have a full publix liquor store right next door … SCORE !

Customer service is wonderful. I recently moved here and I came to this publix since it’s close to where I live and everyone in there was just sooo nice. Definitely better then the ones down in homestead

This Publix is one of their newer locations and opened in the last few years. I can’t really complain about service or food quality, for the most part is has always been good and I can normally find what ever I am looking for. The meat department here is not the greatest though, and I have had a couple of times, different meats that spoiled within days of being bought.
My biggest complaint of this Publix is that the parking lot is awful. Its hard to navigate around and people drive like maniacs in an attempt to get a spot 10 feet closer to the door. This Publix is extremely busy and unless you go at off times, you will be waiting in lines to check out.
