Publix

This Publix is one of the smallest I have ever visited however it basically has everything you need. I go here for lunch sandwiches and picking up odds and ends. Excellent friendly staff. Never had a horrible experience at this location. We order our sandwiches online and just go pick them up. They are always on point and ready and waiting for pickup.

This is a small Publix. The isles are tight and difficult to maneuver your cart. Selection of products is not as large but it is stocked with the usual necessities. No one offered to help take out my groceries in the three visits I made there. Unusual for a Publix.

Great place to shop food and produce is really good prices are good and the people are very friendly I shop here every time I am in Atlanta.
I come in once a month for a week and always buy my groceries here.
There deli counter is good too if you want something ready made.
Highly recommend this store.

I tried the fresh made sandwiches in the deli for the first time after always seeing people waiting in line. Wow, they are great. 10 times better than average sub shop and the same price.

Ordering a sub isn’t like ordering from a fast food restaurant. I can’t check the bag before I pull off to make sure everything is good…
I placed my order online so I could just go in and get out. Because you have to pick a specialty sandwich and can not make one from scratch, I chose the ultimate but said NO ham… For those who don’t know an ultimate is ham, turkey, roast beef. I get home and there WAS ham and NO roast beef… and now Publix is on my I HATE YOU FOR NOT LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS list.

This is our usual grocery spot, and for good reason. I’m really quite picky about fresh produce and it seems that no Kroger or Walmart can get fresh produce. There are a few other Publix stores nearby, but this is still the freshest.
Aside from great quality, the staff here are amazing. They begin to recognize you and make you feel very welcomed every time you come. They are knowledgable in locations of food and pairing recommendations, too.
Easy parking, and you can typically get a spot right up front.
This store is a slightly smaller store, but they have everything we need them for. In my opinion, it has more than any other small publix.

This rating is specific to the Deli. Is is consistently, hands-​down the most frustrating experience to try to get a sandwich made at this Publix during lunch. The example a few paragraphs down is just ONE example, that happened to be today, and finally enough to make me write a review, which I’ll also send to Publix corporate. This is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of my 30^th trip to this specific Publix for a deli sub at lunch over the past year, and this is a very consistent experience, not an anomaly.
I am not an impatient person by nature. I understand a line and wait is to be expected during lunch, but after being frustrated numerous times, I wanted to be sure I wasn’t being unreasonable, so I started timing how long it takes each time I go, starting from when I reach the end of the line, until I am handed my sandwich. With an average of about 10 people in line, the wait hovered around 18 minutes. I have a decent base for comparison as well, as I used to go to the Publix in Midtown for lunch a couple times a week at my former job. There was consistently a line of at LEAST 15 people at lunch, and I can’t think of a single time I waited more than 10 minutes, most times under 5.
What makes it worse, is the attitude of the people working here. They just do_​not_​care, and do not try to hide it.
Just today, there were 2 people making sandwiches, 8 – 10 people in line, I was 4^th in line, and seriously 7 other Deli employees doing what appear to be menial tasks that could easily be done after the lunch rush was over. The lady a couple spots in front of me ordered a turkey sandwich, they were out of turkey, so the lady had to go slice some. No problem, I thought. This is when it got really bad, and these numbers are not exaggerated: She walked sloooooooooowly over to the meat slicer, almost 30 seconds to waddle 10 feet, while talking to one of the employees at the counter on the back wall. Apparently she wanted to clean the slicer, so she started spraying cleaning solution, kept talking, non-​nonchalantly, sprayed it down from every angle, had to have been at least 30 sprays. Then, took _​6_​minutes to wipe this slicer down. At this point, everybody is getting irritated in line, so I know it’s not me. The lady who ordered the sandwich asked who the manager was, who happened to be the guy talking to the lady slicing the meat. He came over and asked what the problem is, completely unaware of what is going on. He went to talk to the lady slicing the lady, who found somebody else to carry on a conversation with, and miraculously had the meat sliced and back to the counter within 20 seconds, at which point she made some offhand comment about how nobody cleans the slicer, like we were going to take her side. At that point, 4 people left the line and walked out of the store, including a co-​worker and I. There were 2 more people over the 20 minutes we were standing there (did I mention there were only 3 people in front of me?).
The most frustrating thing is the non-​chalant attitude. I had stopped coming here regularly for lunch because of this, but a coworker asked me to go with her today. Blows my mind that they haven’t skipped a beat with the same ol, same ol. Not sure how these people still have jobs but obviously management isn’t paying attention or simply does not care.

I love most all Publix. This one here on Hammond has one of the best deli stations. Coworkers got sandwiches and wraps and I got the fried chicken wings with fries. Everything is good as is evident by the lines leading to the chicken and sandwich stations. I swear, at first glance, I thought they must be giving the goods away for free; there so many people in line. And there is no where to park. This is a really busy shopping center at lunch. Don’t let that deter you. Call your sandwich order in ahead of time or stand strong and bear the line for their excellent chicken!

Sooo, while I love Publix as a whole, there are a few reasons why this one is only given a 3 star rating, instead of the customary 4 or 5 star rating.
PROS:
— Amazing deli. Delicious everywhere I’ve been. I’ve had the chicken here, the sandwiches, and the potato wedges. The Bakery is also a treat to work with. This is the closest Publix to my job, so I’ve come here a few times to order sweet treats for someone’s birthday.
— Fairly clean environment, for such a small store.
— Plenty of employees working the registers, especially if you’ve got less than 10 items you need to purchase.
CONS:
— Parking is shit. There’s no other way to put it. The parking lanes are narrow to the point where if a truck is turning into a lane, and my Honda Fit car is trying to exit said lane, the truck actually has to back out in order for me to leave. I suppose they did this because this is a happening spot and they want to cram as many people as possible here, what with the Arby’s and the Credit Union sharing the same lot, but I’ve rarely ever come here and been able to park immediately. I’ve no doubt in my mind that there will be days when this lot is 100% full. They really need to expand this lot, and the size of the parking spots. I think they would benefit from customer sanctification, as well as gaining more business because people can actually park. Because the spots are small and people are asshole drivers, I’ve seen a single truck or minivan take up two spots.
— The Publix itself is soooo small. They utilize their space pretty well, but it’s clear this place was originally one of those Publixes without a deli or bakery because space didn’t permit. But since it’s at such a crucial part, I imagine they expanded because they knew they could make even more money money.
THE VERDICT:
You might not find a place to park, which in itself could take away a star from someone who was in a hurry. I wouldn’t recommend coming here for anyone that IS in a hurry. The staff is courteous, the food in the bakery and deli are fresh, but the store itself is narrow and considerably smaller than a majority of the Publix grocery stores I’ve been to.

The parking lot is a bit much, especially going over before/​after work or during lunch time, but their deli and sub station is great and they have a lunch deal everyday.
The bank inside always has a friend associate outside and the Publix staff is always friendly.
Customer service is normally quick and easy as well.

For this Publix location, it is okay. I say okay with a sigh. This is smaller than many of the ones that I have been in, leading me to believe that this may be an express-​type of grocery store with its selections.
Some members of the staff act as if they don’t want to even be bothered with you, which I found surprising. Publix usually has a reputation for going the extra mile for its customers, yet the impression that I found with this location bordered on under-​achieving. I found what I wanted yet left with a sense of buyer’s remorse in thinking that I may have settled on just getting what I wanted instead of getting other items that I needed.
Overall, this location was ho-​hum in suiting my needs.

It’s a very small Publix but it seems to be pretty nice. Still better than Kroger.

VERY EXPENSIVE prescriptions. I was told by my prescriber and nurses the medicine was very cheap. When I checked out it was over $ 50! So much for $ 4 generics! Never again.

I heart Publix — it beats Kroger any day of the week, but seriously they are not consistent from location to location.
The layout of the store is a little odd, but I think that is because this is one of the smaller stores around Atlanta. Plus, some things they just don’t always have in stock. However, the people are nice, you can usually find someone to answer questions or reach something on a high shelf.
Parking is horrific during peak times. There are too any little shops in this strip, and not enough parking spaces to accomodate.

This Publix is bush-​league. I was excited to try it out because I live in a part of town that has very small grocery stores. My closest Pulix is tiny, and the only thing I miss about living in the burbs was the abundance of gigantic grocery stores.
I decided to try this Publix on my lunch break, and much to my chagrin there were only about 5 aisles. It is actually smaller than my miniature Publix on Cheshire Br. It’s broken up really strangely. For instance, the dairy products are not on the outside of the store. They are on a half refrigerated side of one of the aisles.
The people were not terribly friendly. The parking lot sucks. I don’t really have anything great to say about this place.

Convenient to work so I can pick up some groceries afterwards but there are so many restaurants in one plaza that parking can be a little crazy

I’ve gone to this Publix many times over the years and never really had any complaints until 2 weeks ago when I stopped in to grab a sandwich for lunch. The positive here is their deli sandwiches are Delish, the negative is that my last experience left me TRULY DISGUSTED by the action of one of the managers.
So…I ordered a sandwich with roast beef and the jerk turkey which I’ve done before and had no issues. The nice gentleman who was making my sandwich seemed to be ok with my request, but that’s when a female manager walks up and tells him he can’t mix Publix and Boards Head meats. I told her it was ok that I would gladly pay the difference and she repeats herself and says you can’t mix them. She then instructs the gentleman to take the B’s Head meat off the sandwich. I’m watching in somewhat disbelief wondering ok, then she makes him throw it in the trash. I immediately became LIVID!!! I said «Excuse me, but are you kidding me?» I said you mean to tell me that you would rather throw it in the trash than make a small profit by charging me the difference? and she says it again. Maim you can’t mix the meats. I respond WOW… that’s just brilliant. I would definitely hire you to run my business.

Surrounded by a variety of restaurants and retailers… this Publix can tend to be crowded during high traffic times (lunch, after work), but it’s always clean, fully stocked and a great shopping experience.
This used to be my go to grocery store when I lived in Dunwoody, but now I find myself stopping in when I’m obviously in the neighborhood, needing something in a pinch. For example… I picked up a small birthday cake for my boyfriend yesterday and from the second I decided on which one… the attendant in the bakery assisted me in writing on it. Talk about quick and easy.
Bonus — there’s a Suntrust branch inside this location. Very convenient for a Suntrust customer, such as myself. Very friendly staff and great hours.
Overall…here’s another fantastic Publix location to add to my list.

Stopped by this Publix to get some flowers for a friend who recently had a baby at Northside Hospital and to get a snack for myself. This is a cute little Publix.
I’m use to the bigger ones and was a bit surprised it’s a compact version of a normal Publix. I expected to have problems finding flowers I wanted, since their floral section is smaller than normal. I did have less to choose from but was able to get something I liked. Their balloon selection was sucky though.
Every employee I came across was friendly and helpful. The store was clean and organized.

Always clean, always friendly workers.
My one complaint is the parking, but if you go at the right time of day, you’ll find parking without a problem.
