Publix

I am publix customer for many years and never have I ever said good morning to an employee and they roll their eyes at a customer. The deli attendant named Ailyn was absolutely rude. She slammed the items I purchased on the counter with disdain. It’s embarrassing for Publix to employ this type of individual who lack delivery of customer service. Definitely Winn Dixie across the way might be a better choice.

If I could give this location a zero star rating I would. This is by far the worst Publix. The employees are rude and never helpful, the service at the deli is fathomable and the produce is disgraceful. As if this wasn’t enough, there is always a funky smell around the store that is quite gross. I had shopped at this location my whole life because it’s by my house, but after going to other stores and seeing how wonderful the experience was, I will definitely never ever shop here again.

Still the worse Publix I’ve ever been to. No real express lanes since less than 10 means nothing. This lady in front of me the other night brought her entire cart through the express lane and I had two items. The cashier told her that next time she’d have to use the other lane. Seriously? This is the same Publix where I almost got assaulted after speaking up.
Food safety means nothing here and I’m not how they haven’t been shut down yet. Attaching a picture of a chicken that was labeled «sell by 4 PM» and it’s 8 PM. There was several of those but all the rest of the chickens, at least 10, were labeled «sell by 7.» Again it was 8 PM.
Eggs are always smashed and you have to rummage through containers to make your own good set. Prepare to get your hands dirty.
Amazing. I’m guessing corporate doesn’t care much since this store makes the $$$. I usually don’t shop here anymore but when I do it’s always a disappointment. It’s just like a giant gas station.

Slowest deli evvveeerrrr! 30 minutes to go through 5 numbers and only 2 people working

This Publix was like any other grocery store. Friendly staff, short lines, and has everything you need.

Very well lit publix with plenty of parking. Came on a Thursday night around 9:30pm. Bonus points because the massage place across the street is fantastic!

I had to get some groceries so I put Publix into my gps and this was the closest on the way to my place. When I got there there were parking spots available but most were littered with shopping carts. I’m so used to the lot attendants at other Publix stores that pretty much snatch the cart from you as soon as you empty it.
From the outside it looks like a Publix but inside it feels like an imitation of one. It looks clean but every now and then I’d stumble into a strange smell in one of the aisles. The beer aisle was the worst with a smell of urine.
The space in the store kind of feels cramped and made it difficult to navigate aisles when there was more than one person with a cart in the area. It also tends to be an issue when staff are stocking the shelves.
After navigating the store I managed to get everything I needed except for the hot dog bread. I checked the bakery area but just couldn’t find it. I asked two employees who didn’t know but finally a third did point me in the right direction. He sent me back towards the bakery area and told me the bread was right next to the cashiers. It indeed was but I can see how I overlooked it. The breads were hidden away right next to the birthday cards and magazines. Last place I’d think of placing a bread section but I guess it’s understandable due to the lack of space they already seem to have.
I won’t be revisiting this Publix even though it is close to my place. I’d much rather drive a little more to one of the better Publix stores.

Worse customer service ever!!! The afternoon manager, Dennis Lara is really rude! After 15 years shopping at this place the least I deserve is a little respect. He just left me at the counter and didn’t even say «have a nice day»

Wow, I am not understanding the constant mentions of a parking struggle. I arrived around 6:30 — 7:00 and seamlessly pulled into the first spot on the rightmost side of the parking lot, a few steps from the door. You want a parking struggle? Try Trader Joe’s by Dadeland or an ordinary day of trying to street park in downtown Miami or South Beach.
I came upon this Publix only because I was buying gas in the area and figured I might as well take advantage of the fact that I was close to a Publix and just get my groceries. The first thing I noticed were the odd people loitering around in the parking lot, staring at me as if I had just done something awful. I checked my parking job — within the lines, my clothes were in place, nothing seemed amiss, so I ignored them.
I came to buy a rotisserie chicken for dinner for the week and found plenty of them. Usually, I am lucky if I find 3 or more at other Publix locations, so this was a welcomed change, and they were fresh. The Publix was a decent size, and aisles were easy to navigate. There were plenty of registers open, unlike Wal-​Mart which is famous for the opposite. Within 10 minutes, I was back outside… and again dealing with the weird zombies outside that kept staring at me. I still cannot figure out what they were looking at. Save for that odd experience, everything else was fine. I’d come back if within the area, and just ignore the odd people in the parking lot, and advise you to do the same if you have this type of encounter.

Esta locación está enfrente de la mera 27 avenida. Tiene puntos de acceso viniendo de diferentes partes. Es un publix viejo y el tamaño no es tan grande como los publixes de ahora pero todavía encuentras casi de todo. El personal es muy amable también. Espero les guste.

HORRIBLE customer service. I went in one time and requested quarters. I stood in customer service for a HALF hour, and they kept calling for people behind me. I finally had to shove my face in theirs and demand a roll of quarters. I checked when I got home, and they were nickels. Thanks jerks!
It is always crowded, especially with rude children and unaware parents. I swear I’ve almost gotten knocked down at least 4 times. Prices are worse than some other Publix as well. Its also not super clean.

I think I may be part of a Unilocal conspiracy! Every time I want to give a place 5 stars, it always seems to be slaughtered by negative reviews. I don’t know why, but it may be because I am a positive thinker and always see the bright side of things, but I just wanted to share that. Irony!

Anyways, I feel this Publix is completely phenomenal. I currently work at the United Way building located off Coral Way, so when I found out there was a Publix nearby, I could not help but smile.
First and foremost, the hot food section is always well stocked. At every Publix I have been to so far, there are usually two displays of hot foods. At this specific Publix, there are not two, but THREE displays which contain fully stocked bins of fried chicken, veggies, and rotisserie chicken. Completely fresh and completely delicious!
The only thing negative thing I can say about this place is that the parking spaces are situated very awkwardly. The parking lanes are short– shorter than I have seen elsewhere.
I have not tried grocery shopping here yet, but the hot food section definitely deserves 5 stars.
Also, when my friend ordered a hot customized sub, the sandwich lady made sure everything was prepared to her liking to the tee.
The Publix workers at the sandwich section should serve as role models for outstanding service for everyone who works in the sandwich industry!
This place definitely deserves a 5 star review!

THE GREEN KNIFE
Publix is a grocery store. People need food and they come here to get that food. When my wife and I lived in Coral Gables, the house we were renting was furnished but had the worse knives ever. I couldn’t even cut my finger or an onion if I tried.
So one day, while shopping for our groceries, we saw a green knife hanging on the shelf here at Publix. We decided to buy it to make our food preping easier.
That was 9 years ago and we still have that green knife. Yes… when we came back to Chicago, we took the green knife with us. The sad part is that knife still cuts like a trooper. Sometimes when we are both cooking there is a mad dash for the green knife. It is really our favorite.
So Publix can be a lot more then just food. When you least expect it you could find something else that is equally important. This green knife is going to be in our lives forever, as long as it keeps cutting. And after 9 years I don’t see it ending any time soon!!!
(If you want to see the Green Knife, I have posted a picture)

Always crowded and customer service is often sub-​par. Customer Service Reps aren’t always willing to give 100%. Lines are long, aisles are narrow. Definitely not my favorite place to shop at, but it’ll do if I’m in the area.

This particular Publix is the worst. It doesn’t deserve the Puiblix name. In comparison to other stores in the area this one ranks dead last. Save the aggravation and goto MIlam’s (just down the US1 at 32^nd) or goto Winn Dixie (down Coral Way at 32^nd). If you’re dead set on a Publix head to the Mary Brickell Publix. It’s worth the extra drive.

I am very sad this place has such bad reviews. I’ve actually been a regular since I can remember! I was there when they were reconstructing the whole store. I have never really realized how great this store was until I went to a Winn Dixie. This publix has a lot of room to roam around with your cart, Winn Dixie is rather crowded and even the check out is too small.
The Employees are awesome! Well, at least the guys are lol some of the women there can be a bit grumpy. So, I started baking and I had no clue of what any of the ingredients were or what they looked like and I asked for help from this one guy and he pretty much picked up everything on my list!
Parking is hard sometimes but then again I always park right in front of the store. There is this tiny parking spot where you are not suppose to park there but i do it anyways. I’m sure the regulars know what parking spot im talking about lol.
Overrall This place is where shopping is a pleasure :)

Except for this one old lady at the check out with her chair… she’s a bitch: D

Hardly my favorite Publix, but it serves its purpose, I guess — this is my go-​to when I’m at work and have a craving for some fresh berries. It seems like they are always running a sale on something in the produce department, so it’s a decent place for grabbing a quick healthy snack. The employees are generally pretty quick and efficient, but I can’t always say the same for the customers, many of whom act as if they are paying for groceries for the first time in their lives.
The front parking lot is usually in various stages of disorder, as you have a bunch of rather slow people ambling around, taking forever to pack their cars with groceries, then sitting around waiting for God to rapture them out of their parking spaces or something. I don’t know. Move your asses, people.
If the front parking lot looks scary, head around back and you *should* find parking, unless it’s super-​peak shopping time. If it’s super-​peak shopping time, I’d probably be inclined to find another market.

Like all have reviewed, the parking situation is a joke. I seriously think this a wrong place to put a Publix. Unfortunately until they put one in the Grove (if they ever) this is the closest one to me.
At times I’d rather pay a little more and go to Milam’s.
Either go early (before 10am) or don’t go at all. You’ll find yourself parking very far, going in circles for minutes or worse — having to pay for parking!

I must agree with Paul W — it is apparent that some of the reviews written about this Publix might be for the wrong location.
For me it is a solid lunch stop since I am frequently in this area during lunch time.
Now as for Publix go, this one is OK, well lit and properly stocked and contrary to popular belief, there is ample parking around this store, at least at the times I stop by here which is usually early weekday afternoons.

The only reason I’ve ever ventured to this sorry excuse of a Publix is because it is quite literally across the street from where I work.
The parking situation is HORRIBLE, It always takes forever to find a space. And no, its not because the place is packed. its because there is simply a lack of parking.
Inside is all cramped up. not like other Publix’s where there is plenty of space to maneuver your cart. It seems like I’m always trying to squeeze between people no matter what department I’m in.
If it werent for the proximity factor I would never come here, as it is my absolute last resort.
Such a shame since I frequent the Publix closer to my apartment. That location is a dream.

I can tell from reading the descriptions in a few of the previous reviews that at least 2 of the other reviewers weren’t writing about the correct location. Perhaps they got the address wrong or were thinking about another location. Another reviewer admittedly picked this one out of thin air, and was just writing a general review of this company’s stores.
Of the 5 or 6 Publix locations I’ve been to, this one is my favorite to shop at (as was mentioned by someone in a recent talk thread, not all Publix’ are created equal). This Publix has lots of parking in the front of the store, 2 rows of parking spaces on the side of the store, and even more parking in the back. If all the spaces on their lot are taken (which I’ve never seen in my 2 years of coming here) there is street parking available as well. Inside, I like the layout of this store. The layout makes good sense, and unlike some other Publix’, each row runs the same way — there are no little areas where the direction of the aisles changes or areas where you need to go out of your way to get to the deli or to the produce section as you must do in some other Publix stores; You simply go up and down each aisle and you will pass everything. There is a good bakery at this Publix as well as a deli, an area where you can buy hot, prepared foods as well as a decent selection of fresh salad toppings. This store looks to be relatively new and is always clean. I was here on the afternoon of New Years’ Eve 2008, it was the busiest I’ve ever seen it (really a mad house!) and I still found parking, was able to navigate through the store OK and they kept the checkout lines moving quickly.
