Publix Super Markets

I would give 5 stars but I will explain why not.
I have only used this publix for their pharmacy. I found Chris very polite and he treated me like family. 5 star customer service
However, Catherine was very rude. She acted like she didn’t want to talk to me, wouldn’t conversate.
I haven’t seen Chris there lately so I’m definitely going to another pharmacy from now on.

This publix always goes above and beyond to make sure that customers feel welcome, comfortable, and always helped. I grew up in South Florida and I was literally shocked at how kind these employees are. The fact that it is located next to a college campus shouldn’t lessen anyone’s experiences. We are human beings as well, with that being said we need to eat too to accommodate our physiological and biological needs. Please disregard any reviews that mention this because in my eyes who shops here should not matter.

Excellent Publix! Always greeted by smiling staff who are knowledgable about the store. Such a pleasant experience. Well done. This is my favorite area Publix. I tend to shop during the week day mornings and find its easy to pop in and out!
As for the comments about college students, its important to remember, college students are people too.

I don’t really prefer going to this Publix because it is always packed. It’s right next to the University, so as you can imagine, it gets busy. I’ll drive couple miles down the road to the one in Oviedo. Less busy and easier to find parking at peak times. Other than that, the employees are mostly college students. They are all friendly and very helpful.

Initially when I approached the bakery I was not acknowledge or greeted, since they were helping another customer. However when another person finally saw that I was standing there, she assisted me graciously with a smile on her face. The cashiers wait in front waiting to attend to you. This publix is always clean and organized and I have to say they have the best selection in the deli take out food.

Just like every other Publix, this place is great. They just finished some renovating, and have made the store look a bit more modern. This is also one of the few Publixes I’ve seen with a take out Chinese area.
Since this location is fairly close to the University of Central Florida, it is mostly packed with college kids who are stopping in to get a sub or sandwich to take away.
As always, great customer service from the staff, and a great selection of products to browse. One thing that does stand out to me about this particular location is that they have a bigger produce section than some of the others in the area and, oddly, a big selection of nuts you can buy per pound.

They have done a bit of remolding mostly to the sandwich area to accommodate all the college kids setting sub’s, seems to be doing well. There is usually a long line to get lunch meats so my fiancé will stay in line and I’ll get most of the other shopping done, hate lines, I do need to try out the pre ordering app they got.
Check out is pretty quick, considering the location next to UCF probably because they have a lot of cashiers open and they are all quick while carrying on a conversation. The baggers are always nice a insist on taking out your groceries but will give way if you don’t want help.
Love the BOGO offers I usually find something worth getting. The guys at the seafood counter are great my fiancé gets crab legs a lot and they are always friendly and happy to help.
Very clean and they have an area where you can get food and sit to eat, not all Publix have that. And a Redbox inside!

I shop almost exclusively at Publix for groceries and there are 3 that I visit regularly. This is probably my least favorite of them all because it is so close to UCF, it is always packed with students, and the parking lot is absolutely terrible.

Easy in and out. Friendly staff, gave the kids cookies! Found everything on the ‘olé shopping list and was happy to grab some produce that was fresh and not all gross. This was my third time in this particular store and I’d go back again.

This publix (like most) is well run and always has a great selection of food items. The the only downside is the fact that it’s right next to UCF and is always filled with college students. Other than that, it’s about as average as your publix can get.

Great prices and selection

I LOVE this Publix. While I’ve never stepped foot near the Deli or Bakery, it is very clean, well-​run, and well stocked. Their Bogos are actually products that a normal person would buy and makes it a lot easier to save money. I’ve gone about 4 times now and it has never been overly crowded. The cashiers have always been quick and offered to help bring my cart out even though I clearly don’t need it. Publix is a great grocery store in general, but I can’t think of one bad thing to say about this one. The pharmacy had been holding a prescription of mine for over a week and when I finally went to fill it, they told me I would have to wait 15 minutes and they did not go a minute over.

This Publix has great variety but is right next to UCF; therefore, it’s clogged with college students constantly.

What really sets this Publix apart from the rest is the expanded Deli. In addition to the standard deli counter and sub making area, there is a small section devoted to serving hot Chinese food. Once you’ve gotten your sandwich or Chinese food or whatever, there’s a dedicated register around the corner where you can pay for it without going through the normal lines, and then a dining area with a couple dozen tables so you can eat your food there.
It’s separated enough from the main part of the store that you’re not eating in front of scores of shoppers. I know, you may wonder why you’d ever want to eat in the grocery store itself, but I like it because I can get my beautiful Publix sub at a lunch break destination, rather than being required to go back to my desk to eat. There’s free refills on the fountain sodas, and as with all Publixes (Publices?) there’s always a sandwich on sale (they change it up every week I think).
So that little deli/​restaurant type area is what makes this location special. If you love Publix subs but you don’t want to take it back with you, go here.
Now, if you’re one of the uninitiated when it comes to Publix subs, allow me to babble on for a bit. This is how good Publix subs are: I am an ex-​Publix employee. I started working part-​time at a Publix in South Florida at the age of 14, and worked there through the rest of middle school and high school, took a few months off when I started college and then transferred up to a local one (Mitchell Hammock), finally leaving the company when I graduated college. In all that time, I would maybe take my lunch break outside of the store once every couple of weeks at most. Otherwise, it was all Publix subs all the time. Seriously, I’ve eaten hundreds of them.
Here’s the thing: I’ve never gotten tired of them. I still crave them and I still get them occasionally. Like roast beef? Go on – get yourself a Boar’s Head Roast Beef sub on multigrain bread with all your favorite toppings on it, eat it, and tell me I’m wrong. I’m willing to bet you won’t!
