Publix Super Markets

This Publix is the closest grocer store to my house and I probably visit it on average once a week. (Hello stalking weirdos!)
What I like about this Publix is its convenient location, ample parking and consistent cleanliness. I’ve also noticed that the workers here interact with each other while still managing to do their work. (I noticed this because it’s not always true in other businesses.)
I’ve done other random things in this Publix besides buy groceries such as buy stamps and send a fax (yes, sometimes this is still required). I also occasionally pick up one of the recipe cards you see around the produce and meat areas; they are pretty good.
This Publix isn’t my favorite grocery store because I have to be a creative shopper here. I can make a list and include «fruit» but I can’t specifically include «bananas» because Publix may not have any that day. I can also include «yogurt» but Publix has stopped carrying the honey yogurt I prefer so I had to figure out a substitute while hoping one day my honey yogurt will return. What I want is available in some form as in there will be fruit and yogurt available, but I may have to think about the kind of fruit and yogurt I want to eat that time around. On one hand, this is good and gives me a variety of foods in my diet, but on the other hand, this is bad because sometimes I’m tired and I just want to pick up some bananas.
Overall, this is a great grocery store, and I’m thankful that it’s so close to my home; this is a privilege that I’m aware of.
(Note: In my effort to make it to 100 reviews by the end of the year, I’ll be reviewing dull places like Publix, and for that, I apologize. But we must all make sacrifices in the achievement of our goals.)

Best grocery shopping on east side. Clean, well stocked, and everyone in the store was super friendly and courteous.

It sucks that this is the best of all the grocery stores in my area. The customer service is sub-​par. They are rude, slow, and inconsistent. And the Suntrust bank inside now has a machine doing all the work and it always has problems. Again, the people at the bank are rude and can’t count… go figure. I hate that I have to shop at this grocery store or drive 20 miles :-(

Its good to have choices and I love that both Publix and Kroger are within close proximity of my home. I look forward to the attention to service when shopping at Publix. With their higher prices you get what you pay for. Their deli is always well stocked and their fresh bread and pastries from the bakery is a plus. You can’t go wrong shopping here, unless you’re on a budget.

Well organized. Clean. Helpful staff. However Wednesday’s are crazy busy. Great Local Publix.

DEM SUBS!!!
If your still going to Subway, you’re dead to me. Publix adds more deli meat (and it tastes like actual deli meat), the same toppings and they have the sub dressing with the red cap (IF YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT WE COULD BE BEST FRIENDS).
Get the Italian on multigrain bread. Just do it now.

Yes yes the prices here at Publix are a little high however the environment here at the East Lake Publix is TOP NOTCH compared to some of the other grocery stores in the surrounding areas. The employees here are always friendly and responsive esp the deli counter and the store itself is spotless. They may not have the conv late night hours Kroger does but the parking lot is easier to navigate and no one has chased me through it trying to swap me food stamps for cash.

I ran into get some things to make tacos. They had everything I needed as usual. The store was relatively clean. And they had Corona extra and light at the end of the aisles, probably because it is Tuesday. The person who checked me out was very kind polite and professional. I will go back.

This location is a stain on the Publix brand. The generally higher cost of shopping at Publix is usually a small price for the outstanding service typical of the Publix brand. The employees are rude, refuse to assist customers and management is oblivious. Culture comes from the top so if employees are allow to be unpleasant & rude it’s a reflection of the store management. At least you expect poor service at Kroger.

Pubsubs are the way to go! It’s all about the fresh baked bread. Customer service is always great. Plus I’d rather go here than do Kroger or Walmart.

I’m a fan of Publix and this is the closest for all of us in East Atlanta. When I first moved here I found that this store seemed a little neglected and not the usual Publix I was used to in Florida. Recently, they had an update and the store seems cleaner and I’ve noticed customer service has improved. They have an awesome deli counter and I’m there often for a Sub. One of the things I never noticed over the years is that you can order any Boar’s Head meat out of the display counter and you are not limited to the basic Turkey, Italian, etc. One of my new favorites is Salsalitto Turkey and Horseradish Cheese. I can’t believe I’ve gone all these years ordering a basic Turkey as the menu suggests. Parking is good and I find the prices competitive. They differ from other local competitors by offering cleaner stores and better customer service.

I feel the prices are too high sometimes but then when they have there buy one get one free deals its awesome… There’s never really a long wait or atleast i never get caught up in the lines when i go… The cashier constantly change maybe cuz they bad attitudes… But i still prefer kroger

It’s a Publix. That typically means higher prices but a better shopping ambiance. And this Publix certainly offers higher prices and OK ambiance. So why four stars: This Publix for reasons I cannot explain really, has some of the best fried chicken you’ll find. Why, again, I have no idea. But aside from the long lines during lunch and after work to get this Southern delicacy, the Chicken is well worth the wait. (Like on a good day would put most places out of business.)

This Publix is nice to have just around the corner in East Lake. The just remodeled so it’s looking extra fresh inside, and my wife swears the meat and seafood department has stepped it up a notch.
As for the rest of the selection, you may not always be able to find the EXACT brand you’re seeking (this is an in-​town model, mind you) you’ll always find an equivalent. The beer has also been moved in the upgrade and has been markedly improved over the last year or so. Plus, alcohol on Sunday, y’all!

I love my neighborhood grocery store. Clean store, friendly and responsive staff, rainbow clientele, easy parking. Hipster Kroger at Edgewood is huge and has a great wine and cheese selection but you have to deal with that dreadful shopping center and the traffic around it. Publix subs are great but sometimes the wait for one can be annoying. A shoutout also to the nice crew at the pharmacy and the fact that two of my three regular prescriptions are free here. I wish somebody would just raze the package store on the outparcel and chase the crackheads away.

This is the little Publix that could. I grew up a Publix girl in Florida, and I’m used to big glossy shiny Publix stores, so when I first walked into this one, I couldn’t help but be disappointed.
That all said, other than it being small in square footage, this Publix has slowly grown on me. It’s convenient to those of us in EL, EAV and Kirkwood for one. Second of all, the service and employees here are always so helpful and much nicer than dealing with that other store in Edgewood that starts with a K and sounds like Rover. Finally, I never have to worry about finding a parking spot at this Publix like I do that K-​Rover spot over in Edgewood.
I hate grocery shopping, the last thing I want to do is circle the parking lot for 5 minutes trying to find a spot and not kill a pedestrian in the process. That always seemed to be the case at K-​Rover in Edgewood, but not my tiny little Publix. True their selection is small, but they have most anything you really need, and they do it with a smile. They also are really good about putting out the Publix Coupons. I’ve noticed not all Publix stores are as generous w/​the coupons as this Publix.
So thank you East Lake Publix, for making grocery shopping a little less painful!

Okay folks. I live within walking distance of this Publix location and, because of that, I could probably get rid of my refrigerator and just buy all my food one meal at a time… lol. The staff is very friendly and helpful and it is a rare occasion indeed when I cannot find that which I seek. Prices are a bit higher than Kroger but the superior quality more than makes up for it. Oooops, the game is on and I need beer, gotta check my ‘fridge (errrrrr, Publix… lol)

One of the best Publix in Atlanta.
Alwasy fresh seafood, always fresh vegetables, and always freindly staff. Across from the East Lake Golf Course community, and next to a Goodwill.
The ladies that make the fresh deli/​hot sandwiches and food arent afraid to lay on the seasonsings, and toppings. One of the best Philly Cheese steak sandwichs at a Publix. If you want Publix brand, be sure to tell them, otherwise they are going to give you the Boars Head. (only the best for you:)
One thing I really like (and I’ll probably get jinxed for sayin it), but I have never been panhandled at the Publix. If only they were 15 mins closer to my house, but I have to get on two highways to get to this location.

The customer service at this Publix is awesome. They went above and beyond in kindness this weekend. We went shopping and realized as we went to the register that our coupons were for the Charleston location. Denita at customer service was kind and outgoing and said she would take care of everything. She saw when we were in line and came right over.
They have a great selection of various ethnic foods. (It’s close to a small farmer’s market). The seafood department always smells like bleach, which could be a good thing or not. The best service of all groceries in Atlanta by far!

Conveniently located near my house so this is where I do most of my shopping. The store is clean, the staff friendly, the bakery has expanded their offerings, the deli is good — love the fried chix! The produce is fresh and there is a nice assortment. Meat department is standard — thin or thick cut/​bone-​in or boneless, etc. I have noticed more Greenwise fresh meats which I hope they continue to expand. Nice beer and wine selection.
Only gripe about this store is that when you stop after work, you may experience long checkout lines. The cashiers are nice, but clearly in no rush.
