Publix

I really appreciate the customer service at Publix and the nice people they hire at this market.

New management and it has gotten worse. This place stinks. Look at the clutter in the aisles. Shelves are empty as is it was a store in Havana.

Shopping for groceries is never a pleasure.
That said, the store is as clean and efficient as a typical Publix. However, they too often are out of stock on key merchandise. The store in Sunset Harbor is calmer and is able to keep things in stock.

This is a great full sized grocery store on small Sobe. It has a Parking ramp you drive up and parking is free while you shop. Take an elevator up and down with cart. Never crazy crowded, have never been out of stock for what I am looking for– surprising for the location and its foot traffic.
Manager went out of his way to find me pizza dough last week– hunted me down 5 minutes later to deliver it to me.
People watching is a bonus ;)

Friendly clerks with so much patience for the hundreds of locals and tourists who stream in every hour of every day. There is a sense of excitement in this Publix that keeps you walking quickly down the aisles. Smaller than the average suburban supermarket certainly but they have everything you need. Including laundry quarter s and a scale to weigh yourself or your suitcase. I am glad I have been affirmed when reading the other Unilocal reviews that the parking garage is cramped. However, its free for2 hours. As a local I try to park in zone 2 and walk to my car. Also that means I never buy too much to carry. So I end up back here almost every day buying the 2 for ones and their lucious grapes and nice red tomatoes.

This Publix has become my go-​to grocery store primarily due to proximity. The parking garage never ceases to make me nervous with people zipping around the corners and whatnot… but I like that parking is free for up to two hours (no need to validate or anything… just grab a ticket on your way in and feed it back into the machine on your way out) and that there are always plenty of parking spaces. The elevator system is very confusing (as some other reviews mention, certain elevators only go to certain floors) and always stifling hot. The actual store is great though – wide aisles, good selection, good prices and deals. The layout is a little confusing and I’m not sure why it’s organized the way it is, but the staff is very helpful and nice. Check-​out is quick as well!

For as crowded as this Publix always is, the staff is always on the ball. It can be a bit cramped in some areas of the store, but the cashiers always keep the checkout lanes moving. The produce seems fresh whenever I go. Free parking in the garage; just be on the lookout for bad drivers (just like anywhere else in Miami Beach).

Friday at 8 PM, this is the closest Publix to me so I go there every several days and consistently get what I need and the staff is always friendly. They do a pretty good job with inventory but just a couple things held me back from adding that 5^th star. When you run out of the meat sale item please note it on the sign so people don’t have to dig to «just make sure» and always check on the carts piling up just outside the door. It really creates a jam coming in and out of the store. Derica (cashier), the young man helping bag groceries and the man stocking shelves made sure to ask if I was getting what I wanted, all did a nice job. Sorry I did not get their names.

Publix is the go to grocery store down here. This one is fairly good and the prices are not as high as Whole Foods! We went here a few times for the basics like milk, bread, sandwich meat, and ice cream. The sandwich meat is Boars Head and all of it was excellent. We’ll be coming back to this one.

3 stars be cause is one of the only decent markets in South beach but is expensive compared with other locations and there is a young lady blond and green eyes who is always there very rude she doesn’t even say hi back.

As a tourist, I was looking for a grocery store with abundant local produces and exotic fruits. Publix was pricier than I expected, the store was clean, neat; friendly employees were helpful.

The WORST publix experience I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and go to any other publix on the beach– there are plenty and all are better than this one.
Let’s see, the first time I went, the staff were playing catch with toilet paper rolls in the middle of the aisle– definitely a first for a publix.
Next, be careful if you want to order more than one sub, because the staff will get obviously annoyed, and it’s uncomfortable. I even said, «I have other shopping to do, would you like for me to come back and order a little later?» And the woman said no, rolled her eyes and sighed as if she was doing me a huge favor. Even one of the other deli workers said to me «she gets testy, just try to ignore it.» For a company that prides itself on customer service and experience, it was shocking to be treated this way. Usually publix staff go out of their way to be kind and helpful. Not the case here.
Also, the staff are either clueless or just don’t care, because every time I asked a question, they either didn’t know, or didn’t speak English. Avoid!

This publix has come a long way since their opening. They are much better now in terms of inventory, service was always great (better than their fancy sister «fresh market») but now their variety of products is much larger. Only reason why I don’t give them 5 stars is because of the messed up situation w the elevators (not their fault really, the contractors who made the plaza probably got their college diplomas by mail!) and also this publix is still missing the croquettes! ;)

The parking garage is the worst experience i’ve ever experienced in retail. I’m surprised nobody has been run over yet. 4 lanes all exiting at the same time. crazy.
Even worse are the elevators, which are 130 degrees hot, and there is always at least one broke down. I don’t think I have ever visited when an elevator has not been broken.
They need to pass out cold towels to anyone entering the store to wipe the sweat away.

We came here for the fried chicken. I got the 2 dark piece meal with a side of rice/​beans and mac n cheese. The sides weren’t special but the chicken is tender and juicy… potentially better than popeyes. My total was less than 5 bucks! I’d def come here for the fried chicken any day.

XL Supermarkt, vergleichbar mit einer Mischung aus Edeka und Metro. Wirklich eine riesen Auswahl. Preise vermutlich etwas höher als anderswo, aber so ist das halt in Southbeach ;)

Watch out the cold food counter with different types of Olives and more… temp is warm, not dealing clean, not properly safe: I saw staff pick up the olives from the floor and put back and then have some by bare finger.
I will rather go to other store or buy with jar.

Well managed location with free parking garage upstairs. Not as big as some other mainland locations and Whole Foods has better produce, but the prime location and strong brand name gets the job done here.

As Nathaly L. mentioned, parking can be dangerous because the people exiting the first level can easily hit someone going up the ramp while trying to stop at the stop sign, where said people are exiting. This is one of my biggest fears. Other than that, the Publix is a decent size, there are plenty of beautiful people shopping around, and the hot foods section is pretty good, as well as the deli. I love their chocolate parfaits!
Another «con» is that the elevators in the garage are quite confusing, only certain ones will go downstairs to the first floor where the Publix is, and for some reason, there is no signage to indicate which ones are the ones that will take you there. This in and of itself is frustrating as I feel like I am walking in circles trying to find the damn things (I think only 2 elevators take you there, or perhaps it’s just 1, I forget).
The aisles are somewhat spacious, but the layout is odd. I much prefer the new Omni Publix on 17^th and Biscayne, but it’s a bit out of my way. I do like that there are other nearby stores here, like Ross, and some food options in the same building, on the first floor, so you can stop on your way in or way out of Publix and browse, or get something to eat.
The parking attendants are also quite friendly. I wish the Publix by Alton had a hot foods section (I don’t recall seeing one), because at least the parking there is safer, although if it’s raining, you will get wet, unlike the SoFi Publix which has that big garage… sigh, I guess nothing is perfect.

I like this publix. Parking garage can be a bit dangerous with people leaving and coming in and cars turning left and right at the same time, but thats an engineering problem not publix.
First 1 – 2 hours free. After that you pay for parking. Clean, and organized… umm i dont know what else to say about a grocery store.
Primary grocery store i have been coming to since i can remember.

Shopping is a pleasure at this Publix.
Conviniently located on the bottom street level of the shops at 5^th and Alton. This Publix is brand new and pretty big sized. Kudos for their deli section. They have a counter for deli meats, another for food by the pound, and a seperate one on the side for deli custom subs. I love Publix subs! The wait was short and everyone wasn’t smushed up together waiting for their turn. I won’t hesitate to return and cruise by the shop upstairs too!
Parking free in the inside garage for up to 2 hours.
