Publix

A Publix is a Publix is a Publix or isn’t it? Well, yes, more or less. They all attempt to carry the same items in the same stocking order, but their flagship store on Cordova generally offers a wider selection than the older of smaller ones like the Publix of Wilton Manors and usually doesn’t run out of stock items such a buffalo meats, quail or duck; items I regularly have on my dinner table. This particular Publix is one of the ones that is very well set up and has as many inventory items as does their Cordova flagship store. However, this Publix is what I might term an urban store, three floors in height with indoor parking ramp locations of the second and third floors instead of having large open parking lot spaces. For me, this is the downfall of the place and why I rarely shop it. The ramp parking spaces a notoriously known as a place wherein you get your car dinged by others opening their doors or backing into you. It also makes shopping more of a pain. Once you park in the ramp area you have to take a rather slow grinding elevator down to the first floor to do your shopping. Then, when done with shopping it’s either back to the elevator to return to your car if parked on the second floor or taking your cart up a moving sidewalk; to me all being more of a hassle and annoyance than shopping other Publix stores; hence on that basis Two Stars.

I’ve visited this publix a few times before but not as often as the closer competitor. Since I have sworn off the other competitor this will be my new home!
My wife and I like to buy and eat a publix sub before we shop so we don’t buy out of hunger. It’s a veteran move!
Today we split a whole size mojo pork on the multi grain roll with all the fixings. It did not disappoint!
We also like to split a cup of their New England clam chowder. Though this is a tad pricey it is worth it. publix is the only place I trust outside of a restaurant I would eat clam chowder. Decent amount of clam but you better like some potatoes if you buy it.
Now on to the rest of the store.
The veggies and fruit are always in good condition. They have an excellent variety.
The fish is presented well and I have confidence when buying it. Plenty of choices.

Little oriental/​Asian woman is not coupon friendly — at ALL! If you have coupons, steer clear from her. She isn’t nice and doesn’t like when Publix customers save money. Also, would not honor Publix’s BOGO deal of the week, which were ocean spray Craisins. Told me it was a «different style of Craisins»…she clearly does not know how to read English correctly. Also laughed at me when I gave her a coupon that didn’t have an expiration date. She just assumed it was expired LOL. For someone in the customer service business, she should know some coupons do not expire — therefore, don’t have a date on them. If I wasn’t on a lunch break from work, I would have loved to complain to the manager about her charming personality and pleasurable attitude, but hopefully he sees this review for himself :)

The customer service here is terrible. anytime you go to the deli, expect to wait at least 15 – 20 minutes for a staff person to slice your eat. and they never say thank you. i am sick of shopping here, i am using Fresh Market or whole foods or any other store as i am sick of the terrible unfriendly cashiers and deli staff. the Deli staff never say thank you. they act as if they are doing you a favor. Getting in and out of this store via the parking garagis painful due to the moving sidewalk access is not eay to naviagate since staff are always using it to return carts

I only came here while I was in town, staying with a family member. If you’re like me, and need to choose one of many local supermarkets to get you through a week or two, come here! The parking deck is convenient, and the moving ramps that lock in your shopping cart are SUPER COOL.

I’m not going to ramble on about Publix as you likely have been in one before, but this one is definitely set apart with the parking garage and moving sidewalk type escalators to enter with a cart if you come down from one of the other floors.
As I imagine this Publix does cater to some higher end shoppers I did notice some differences in products from my normal small Publix — notably different freshly prepared foods, olive bar, bigger sushi selection, more organics etc.
It also boasts a little café with coffees and teas as well as pastries and Cuban pastries outside the main entrance with seating areas which I guess brings in the surrounding business lunch crowds.
Main draw for me, free Level 2 EV charging on the 3^rd floor of the garage. Only one charger for now, but hopefully they’ll add in more soon :)

The only downside to this Publix is weekdays at lunchtime. It’s so busy, especially the sandwich area. It’s great on the weekend since it’s downtown and most people live outside the area. This Publix also has one of the best bakeries of all the area Publix. Every thing seems to be very fresh and a very good selection. This is a good Publix for getting special bakery orders. They have nice seating in the atrium to eat lunch and have added a type of café to buy prepared foods in the atrium. The store really smells bad sometimes, like homeless people are hanging out.

This has always been my publix since it opened and I’ve always loved it there. But lately the produce has gone downhill. The apples all seem to have bruises on them and the oranges that I bought a few times this summer were dry. The publix spinach was totally soggy and old one time. Another time I bought two red peppers which looks decent on the outside, but we’re both completely rotten on the inside (the same day I bought them.)
When I have time, I go to the publix on 17^th because the produce is better. But I still usually go here because I use the pharmacy, and Bob, Carole and the crew there are the BEST.

I really like this Publix and it’s super convenient … the new renovations are great EXCEPT they used to have all the organic vegetables together in one sections and since they don’t always have organic everything it made it super easy ~ now its spread out all over the place and super frustrating … now I find I go to this Publix for staples and other places for organic veggies because I cannot find them quickly … that said everything else about the place is great.

I really like this store in some ways, and in others it couldn’t turn me off more. Let’s get the bad over with. For one, the produce is not fresh, it goes bad within a day. Not a fan at all. The only other bad thing is that it’s dirty, you don’t want to enter a food store and it feel gross. That’s not a good start to your shopping experience.
Now the good. Their hot pastries (empanadas, papas rellenas, croquetas) are incredible if u can get there before they are gone. Also, they have a parking garage just for the store, so rain or shine you can get your groceries. Lastly, and most importantly in my opinion, they are quick. When you are on a tight lunch schedule you can be in and out of their with a sandwich or hot food in ten minutes. Just remember to order ahead and it’ll be waiting for you.

One of my favorite Publix’s in South Florida. Parking is easy. Employees are always very helpful and everything I need is almost always in stock.

I like this Publix in that it feels more urban than any of the others in the area — in a good way — it just had a city vibe about it. The attached parking garage makes it super convenient, especially during inclement weather (as in every day lately!). Good prepared foods section.. and (perhaps most importantly ;-)) currently under construction to expand the wine and beer section!

Yea, so I’ve only been to this Publix once, and I went because it’s near my work. It’s a BEAUTIFUL store! It really is! It’s large, it’s organized, and there’s ample parking. Then why the 3 star review, you ask? Well… because, as per my tip, THE CASHIERS HAVE MOLASSES IN THEIR ASSES! Like, okay, I get it: Why rush when you have to be at work for 8 hours? What’s the hurry? Well, maybe it’s the fact that YOU WORK HERE BUT I DON’T! Meaning, if I’m on my lunch hour, it shouldn’t take me 15 minutes to purchase a pre-​made salad when there’s only 2 people in front of me with less than 5 items each in the EXPRESS LANE ! If it’s an EXPRESS lane, why isn’t it, oh… I don’t know… EXPRESS. «EXPRESS» indicates that you should be in and out pretty fast, correct (hence the name)? To me, this means that you shouldn’t have to stop scanning items to talk about life and love, make deep eye contact with people and/​or hand gestures, fluff your hair, etc. I mean, I don’t know everything, but I did happen to work in a supermarket in high school, and I did happen to work in the Express lane and guess what, y’all? I moved EXPRESSLY! Again, I like this store a lot, but I just don’t know if I’ll ever be back. Maybe, if I have more than an hour to kill to pick up a friggin’ salad! No idea when that’ll be though!

Very cool… Great covered parking. Cool escalator for use with cart… Very clean. Cool building

Coming from Chicago I was used to several of these city marketplaces, and I was surprised to hear that a Publix was built like one just around the corner. This Publix is probably the best I’ve seen in Florida with a huge selection and indoor parking. Nothing really outstanding other than the cool cart railing system that allows you to travel with your cart from 1^st to 2^nd floor.

Sometimes, size just makes things better, and because this Publix is huge due to its liquor store, I just have to give it 4 stars. They have an ample selection of items, with good savings. Unfortunately, I could not explore this Publix thoroughly, but from what I saw, it seemed to be a top Publix. Parking is located at the garage on the side.

This ramp is soooocooool

This Publix is very nice as far as it’s newer and clean; however, it is very small and I have yet to find the Tahini.
I do find myself here often because it offers garage parking, so I come here when it rains — which is often. That being said, HUGE design flaw in my opinion is that the only way into the store from the garage is either down elevators or up the moving walkway — which is slow and you have to wait for people with carts which can’t be pushed up the walkway, or sneak around the carts — which is kind of rude. This is really obnoxious when I stop in to grab a couple of things, which is often.
Also, somehow they have several varieties of q-​tips, but no cotton balls. Weird.

I do all of my grocery shopping here! The location is wonderful, the prices are great, the staff is always friendly and the quality can’t be beat.

Bravo Publix! Finally I have found one of your store locations that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside — just like your cheesy commercials that I see on TV around the holidays. The only thing missing is the classical music blaring through the aisles that makes me want to stick around and buy fancy, exotic fruit, wine that is way out of my price range and other miscellanous stuff I don’t need. Whenever I come here, the produce looks good, the aisles are organized, parking is never an issue and the employees are smiling and actually look happy. The icing on this publix cake is the in-​house liquor store with a great selection and decent prices. Like Carl from the movie Up, I wish I could attach a bunch of balloons to this store and move it right next to my house.
