Publix Super Markets

This review is for Publix store #560 located in the Peachtree Square shopping center in Peachtree Corners (Norcross). This is one of the bigger Publix Super Markets I’ve been to in the Atlanta metro. Outside of the standard bakery and deli, there’s a $ 6.99 per pound salad bar and hot bar and a small dine-​in area.
We stopped by this Publix to pick up prescription drugs from the pharmacy. At lunchtime, the pharmacy was very busy. One pharmacy technician, Zach, was in the back dispensing drugs while the other, Mery, was out front dealing with customers. They worked efficiently. After filling out paperwork and handing Mery the prescriptions, she told us the drugs would be ready in 30 minutes.
We grabbed lunch at the deli while we waited. Like the pharmacy, the bakery and deli were dealing with the lunchtime rush. A lot of office workers stood in line to pick up fried chicken or a Publix sub. I checked out the salad bar and hot bar. The salad bar ingredients were very basic — spinach, iceberg lettuce, grape tomatoes, broccoli, black olives, etc. The hot bar had an Asian theme going with lots of different rice dishes, noodles, and various stir-​fries. I’m pretty sure I saw orange chicken and/​or sweet and sour chicken in there.
The bars didn’t look appealing, so we went to the deli and got a sub. I tried a half sub with Boar’s Head turkey, Swiss cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, tomato, mayo, and mustard on whole wheat ($ 5.59). The ingredients were fresh and the sub was tasty and filling. You can almost always rely on a Publix sub and it tastes better than a Subway sub. The lady at checkout was friendly.
This Publix deli has a refreshment stand with a fountain drink machine, napkins, disposable silverware, and condiments. Fountain drinks included Coke products such as Sprite, Fanta, and Barq’s Root Beer. They cost $ 1.29 for a small, $ 1.39 for a medium, and $ 1.49 for a large. Unlimited refills. We ate in the small dining room next to the deli. It was clean and had a handful of small tables.
When we were returned the pharmacy approximately a half hour later, the prescription was ready. Mery was helpful and polite and had us on our way. You can’t beat free medicine at Publix. Amoxicillin FTW. Google «publix free medications» to see what’s available.

This is the closest grocery to home so regular visits are made here for whatever. The store is clean and the staff minus a couple of small complaints is cheerful. The pharmacist on a recent visit was a life saver. I’ve had a recent allergy out break that includes hives and have know idea whats causing it (Pednizone helps until the next time) so when she was able to tell me about a couple of over the counter products that might help give some temporary relief until I could see an allergist you better believe I took her up on suggestion. It seems to be helping for now.
If you are in need of a wing fix check out the Jamaican wings wooo these are good with your favorite brew.

You want the best deal for southern fried chicken? Right here, get your 8-​piecer mixed all day for $ 7.49. Best to get it hot outta the grease if you can. And keep that box open all the way home or else you’ll kill it.

Been shopping here for more than 10 years and it really is always a pleasure. One nice feature is the free wifi and also a seating area adjacent to the deli where you can order sandwiches or hot food then sit down to eat if you want.

Best Publix I have ever shopped been shopping at this one since 2009.

Great local grocery store chain. Our favorite in Florida. Good selection. Even organic.

Probably the nicest Publix store in the area. The store is super clean, the selection is great and the staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are a tad higher than the Ingles store down the street but Publix definitely has a winner with this location.

How can anyone NOT like Publix? Clean, bright, friendly staff, great «Publix brand» products, and yes… As one reviewer said… The BEST fried chicken. I also love the bakery, deli (mmmm Boar’s Head), hot food, etc. Everyone knows Publix is a tad bit pricier than other groceries but the quality is definitely there… you never have to worry about that. Publix is my go to grocery unless I’m doing some bulk shopping. Even then, I will probably end up making a quick stop at Publix. This particular location is quick, easily accessible from my house, and as usual the employees are quite pleasant. Wooohoo! #teamPublix

This Publix location is VERY clean and customer service is great! I find everything I need all the time and prices are great.

I’ve fallen in love with Publix over the last couple of years; I didn’t grow up near one. I run there when I need to get some items for a quick meal. Moreso, I can never skip a stop at the deli. The staff shows that they truly care without the insincerity you might encounter elsewhere.
Yesterday, I met Mama Tina. She is the most pleasant woman I’ve met in a long time. She has what I think is a east African accent. She helped me with jerk turkey, havarti cheese, and mountain bread topped off with pleasant conversation and a warm smile. I usually find that the Publix staff here has a similar attitude. They really make you feel like you’re home.

Every time I’ve been here, they’ve been packed with people: diverse crowd.
FROM THE BAKERY:
This specific review is on their bakery: my husband ordered a cake for my birthday. A NUTTY DELIGHT cake. Oh my Lord! Was it so good! Everyone that tried the cake was surprised!
It was covered and smothered with pecans on the outside and the inside layers had alternating vanilla and chocolate layers. It was moist! And not too rich! Publix Bakery, I will be back again for this delicious cake!
FROM THE HOT FOODS:
I’m always looking for the Public chicken wings. Some Publix’s have the breaded hot wings, breaded asian-​glaze, breaded orange chicken wings … but not all have these. Most have the non-​breaded hot wings and then regular wings. I was surprised to come here and find that they had all of them. Thank you, Lord! Now, if only I could eat wings every day… I know breaded wings aren’t the best for your health, but when you can, I’m all about it!
****
The location is both ideal and not! It’s between PIB and Medlock Bridge. It gets busy so you have to calculate which way in/​out is best depending on the time of day!

the worst publix to go to poor management and emplyees are always trying to accuse you of not paying for food !!

This is a big Publix so they probably will have whatever you need. It’s also very clean. The sub shop works a little differently from most others. They will take your order at the counter then go to the back to make the sandwich. This might make some people nervous because they can’t see their sandwich being made, but rest assured they put the sandwiches together very well and the sub quality is as good or better than other Publix delis. Being a native Floridian and having shopped at or worked at more than a couple dozen Publix stores, I can say with confidence that this is one of the better stores I’ve been to.

I grew up with Publix in Florida like a couple other reviewers so I love it. But a Kroger was closer so i was going there. I just stopped in today and saw the interior makeover. This place us huge and wonderful! I will go out of my way to visit this Publix! I just wish they had a better organic produce section. With the Target next door and the new Dick’s replacing the aging Kroger around the corner, I will be spending a lot more time here.

This Publix has just had a very nice interior makeover. With Kroger abandoning their nasty location «around the corner», this Publix reigns in this area for grocery shopping.
I grew up going to Publix in Florida and have seen this chain evolve for the better consistently.
They have recently installed «self service» check out, which always seems to be a challenge for many people and — to me — seems to go against Publix’s long standing pledge of service. I’m not using those things, sorry Publix.
Another kind of odd annoyance is when you are finally checking out and they ask you «did you find everything?» — sometimes, the answer really is «no, I gave up looking», because what’s really going to happen? Are they going to stop everything and send a search party out for the elusive item? What about the people in the line behind me? It’s just easier to say ‘it’s fine” and move on with life. If I can’t find it, It’s easier to give up and move along.
Now, about you people who still think you need to write checks —

This Publix is a life saver! Whenever I couldn’t make my runs to the Super H, this is my default grocery shopping area.
1. Crazy close to my house.
2. Nice, clean, friendly shopping plaza.
3. Well, it’s Publix!
It has all the produce that a Publix should have. I like it!

I’m so excited, you guys… THEY HAVE CRISPERS!!!
If you’re not from Florida, you might not recognize the name. Crispers is a Publix eatery like Atlanta Bread Company, Panera Bread, etc. While they don’t have everything on the Crispers menu (only one soup, and they’d have to call Florida to find out what’s in a veggie Cobb), this means you can get custom-​made salads at the deli, with dressings like Spicy Thai Peanut and more traditional kinds like vinaigrette and bleu-​cheese.
Oh, I’m so happy… I only wish I’d realized this before I ordered my vegetarian sub with two kinds of Boar’s Head cheese (I had to spell «Gruyère» so she could enter it into the computerized ordering system — and no, I didn’t get pedantic about the accent grave). Still, for six bucks, I’m happily stuffed with yummies from this Publix deli.

Hands down, the BEST fried chicken in town.
