Publix

We went here twice and the service was amazing the cashier heard me talking about potentially getting crackers and offered to get them for me, I was shocked, up North no one would offer this! So disappointed though when I got home and most of the beer was expired over a year ago and the guacamole I purchased expired 5 days before. So for service they are great but they fail in keeping up with their inventory :(

Close to Wyndham Cypress Inn to stock up on easy to cook, healthy meals.
Prices normal grocery, not a discount place NOR is it boutique, specialty expensive.
Wyndham supplies soaps from shampoo to dishwasher and landry soap as well as toilet paper so we needed eggs, low fat meats, fresh chicken breasts, oat grain bread and cereal, soy milk, fruits and vegetables to snack on.
Publix had all of our quirky diet favorites along with groceries most folks enjoy including full bakery, deli, prepackaged ready to eat roasts, potatoes au gratin, etc…
We purchased meals for 5 full days of our 7 day stay for $ 102.00. Quite the vacation savings.
The other two days, we splurged that $ 100.00 on dinner for two, alone.
Bön appetite.

Close proximity to Orange Lake Vacation Club. Seems like it may be undergoing changes or renovations… not the fanciest Publix I’ve been in. Not the best service I’ve seen in a Publix either, but we went back a few times because of the convenience and location. The store overall is much less organized than how I know Publix to be.
They have a souvenir section right inside the door that is less than impressive. I guess where you’re at you kinda have to have some stuff… meh…

Most disorganized Publix I’ve been too. Very difficult to find products. The layout makes no sense… The produce is in the back far right corner of the store (opposite of every store) next to the freezer isles! I couldn’t find many of my needed products and eventually gave up. The employees were not very friendly or welcoming either… Most Publix stores strive to go above and beyond but this store was different. I would not recommend this location!

Kills me to do this. I’ve been at this publix a million times and over the last week I’ve noticed a change. It took 30 min for me to order a blt sub. They screwed up the price, and quantity of the meat put on the sub. I was asked 100 questions when all I wanted was a BLT with a couple vegetables and melted American cheese. Granted she was extremely nice and it was only her 4^th day, asking me a million questions and continuing to get my sub wrong after answering said questions. you need to be trained properly.
One of the deli women was extremely rude not just tonight but last night (2÷15÷16) as well. It just seemed like utter confusion at the deli in every facet. The store itself is a 5. Every other department is great. But the deli… That’s a 0. It takes over 15 min to order 3 subs with no line. Hopefully next time I’m down here I can give the overall experience a 5 but for now. I can’t do it.
Overall point: the store overall is awesome. The deli needs serious work. The subs gotta be done quicker and with more attention to detail. If there is a line… be prepared to be there forever. If there is a middle-​aged woman that has a mean and miserable look on her face. be prepared she’s gonna make mistakes with your sub and give you attitude while doing so.

Extremely unimpressed with this Publix location. We have many of these back at home in SC so I kind of expected great service. This store seems like it’s always crowded due to many tourist locations and hotels nearby. However, the biggest thing that bothered me was the bagger lady. She was extremely rude and inconsiderate and only spoke Spanish. When we told her we could take care of the buggy ourselves she went on a rant in Spanish that started at the cashier lane and lasted until we got into our car. Even after we told her we don’t speak Spanish she kept yelling and ranting. I tried explaining to her that I can’t understand she held my produce and wouldn’t put allow me to put it into my vehicle. I’m not sure what’s going on in her life but there definitely seems to be some kind of dissatisfaction with her job.

Deli staff was extra helpful in cooking for our special day while visiting. Thanks for accommodating special needs. Made the drive worth it. There are at least three Publix stores on the street.

Geared towards the tourists at the restorts. We live in the area and frequent this Publix but find this one busy. Employees are helpful, especially the front end (particularly Rob the bagger), although some of the older baggers are cranky. Managers are always changing too. We would recommend just for a quick trip.

This Publix is definitely a bit different to most others considering the fact that as soon as you walk in, you see Mickey Mouse souvenirs right up front. Obviously they are catering to the tourists in the area and it probably works for them. From what I saw, everything looked stocked and it seemed a bit bigger than other Publix’ in the area. The bathrooms were clean and that’s always important. This Publix is located next to the 429 across the street from the Target shopping plaza on US 192.

Really good supermarket. Well worth a visit. Lots of fresh produce as well as a pharmacy and hot food counter too. The deli was excellent and the people were really friendly.

Not one of the better Publix stores. The selection is usually lacking, especially in the produce. There are several locations near by. I suggest the one in celebration, it’s much nicer, cleaner, and has a better selection

This Publix has everything from Disney memorabilia, gifts, souvenirs etc to fresh sushi! The staff were great. Of course the store is a little pricey due to its location being near major theme parks and resorts. If I’m ever in the area, I will be sure to shop there again!

This is my least favorite location in the area. I do understand it’s right outside of a very large resort with lots of employees and guests, but the service isn’t what I’ve come to expect from the Publix name. I generally try to come before 11:30 to beat a lunch rush at the Deli, but today the staff seemed to have a lack of care. Evita at the deli didn’t seem to show any care about the person she was serving. I witnessed her starting off into the store while asking what the customer wanted on his sub rather a warm smile and eye contact. There didn’t seem to be a sense of urgency at all. Even paying at customer service, the rep was very «ho hum.»
The store is generally clean for being a busy location.

Very much a tourist Publix. Not well laid out for you to make it your everyday shopping. Hard to make your way around the touristy stuff that seems to be cluttering every aisle and end cap.

One of the Best grocery stores I’ve ever been to. This location is very very clean. They have healthy options, organic and what not, but for reasonable pricing. (Unlike Whole Foods, which I like, but it is very pricy). They also have sample stations! They have adequate staff to check customers out and the shelves are fully stocked and neat.
The best part: the bakery items. Their bread, pastries and allllll their fresh items are so tasty. I was staying at the resort nearby and came here everyday for their bread. We would buy two loaves, eat them, and then come back for more. Lol

If you stay at the Orange Lake Resort (or at any of several places along this strip, for that matter), and want to stock up, you’ll find that this store has the goods. Unfortunately, it seems that the secret is out, because they are always busy. Morning, noon, night. Even at 11pm, they are busy with people getting ice. Ice, at 11pm? Apparently.
Regardless, the staff is friendly, and they will do their best to get you in and out, but beware that it can take a while — and the parking lot is no help, since like many parking lots, it is full of turns that just don’t make it easy.
The good news is that you will do better here than in a mini-​bar than or in a theme park.

Since it’s located conveniently to the Holiday Inn Resorts, we came here few times. We had come here few years ago and during our last trip. Good place to get sunscreen, snacks and drinks. There were also bunch of Disney type gift items.

Pros: Great big bakery, full service deli, SUPER DUPER nice people, buy one/​get one sales staff members will load your groceries into your car and bring the cart back in for you, wide selection of everything! Accepts returns of unused items and this came in handy for us out of towners that didn’t use some of the items we purchased here for our week stay and they gave us zero trouble returning items.
Cons: pricing. Everything non-​grocery is costly. Produce is good quality but quite expensive.
Go to target across the street for your paper towels, laundry detergent, cosmetics, lotions, toiletries and soap.

Found this grocery store by chance and it was perfect for getting drinks and snacks for the hotel room. The shelves were fully stocked and the store was pretty clean.

We discovered this grocery store when we missed a turn. It was very clean. The staff were very nice and helped us with directions to our lodgings. (They must get a lot of that from tourists.) We purchased drinks and snacks for our visit. We also visited their wine section and I found that they had very reasonable prices. Yeah! We visited this location several times during our time in the area.
