I absolutely love these types of bodegas that have a steam table of Cuban food for sale as well…read more The portions are always huge, like two meals. A very reliable choice if you're short on time. Cuban Breakfast: A really hearty way to start the day. I love the big blocks of crisped squeaky cheese. The hot dog like sausages were fun too. The plantains and refried black beans made it feel especially Cuban. And then nice eggs, because breakfast. Beef Meal: It felt ropa vieja adjacent with the slow cooked shredded beef and peppers and onions. Though it wasn't as bright without the different types of peppers. I got mine with moros, black beans and rice mixed together. The lady also gave me some gravy, from the beef stew, on top of the rice. I chose a side of macaroni salad. It was such a delicious lunch and (leftover) dinner! The beef itself was packed with flavor and so tender. Beef Stew: More like pot roast than the other stringy beef meal. Large chunks of beef that were dense and delicious! It came with this yellow rice that had pork, shrimp and veggies. Kinda like stir fried rice, but I don't think it was stir fried. Delicious though! And, of course, got the yummy macaroni salad again.

I'm reviewing this Publix specifically for their iteration of the chicken tendy pub sub. This…read morePublix deli is quite busy, between tourists and locals at the beach and we were lucky to stroll in around 11am on a Wednesday to order two pub subs with odd specifications (recommended by a friend). Despite the sandwich artist needing to go into three separate coolers outside of the normal display to get our requested sauces and cheeses, she hooked us up with quite possibly the largest sandwiches I've ever see in my life. She was in no rush to move along the line of 10 people that had formed behind us during the 10 min we waited for her to assemble our order, but I have zero complaints because they were the perfect snack for our subsequent 5 hour plane ride!!

Shopping is a pleasure for real when it comes to Publix…read more Bestie and I had beach plans and I forgot to pre order chicken wings so the next morning we walked in hoping for that fried chicken goodness. Nope, fried chicken (unless pre-ordered)does t come out till about 10 am. There was some other items we could've bought like subs or those sandwich rolls or breakfast sandwiches but we were so in the mood for their chicken. we'll they let us know the there were some tenders out in the refrigeration part. We asked if we could have them heated up. The manager came and advised they couldn't but what they could do was grab some hot ones that were in the back that were ready for subs. What a blessing she was. We got our chi ken and were the happiest people.on the beach. Thanks to that staff for looking out. They really do try to help and give other options to make sure you never walk out empty handed and you leave smiling.

I was just now checking to see what time this Publix opened and saw some negative reviews overall…read more Frankly, this is the only Publix that I like. My experience is always just the opposite of many of the reviews. I find this Publix super relaxed, and most everyone is super friendly and helpful. As my wife says, this store location is a little more tucked away and it's more locals, which as a 25 year resident, I love! Heading there now and I will pass by 2 other Publix stores to get there!

I love the fact that it's an unapologetic bootleg Latin Popeye's (down to the color scheme, sides and preparation). I don't love the fact that on more than a couple occasions, MBPD have cut their way through the line to grab whatever they want (and leave) while paying customers' orders are delayed and interrupted. But, more often than not, I love what I see and eat here. In addition to being a fast food joint, it's also a convenience store. I couldn't tell you anything about it because I've never patronized it in that sense. BUT, if you're looking for a 3 (or, 5; what? I'm a growing boy) piece dark with a (2) honey biscuit(s), red beans & rice, and mashed potatoes and gravy served the way you're used to eating in Louisiana and/or Texas at Beyonce's favorite fast food chain... well, your prayers have been answered. The service is usually curt but professional but what you get can vary with the person ringing you up. At times I've been invited to take a cold beverage from the cooler with my purchase. At other times, I've been given my change and a 'gtfu' stare/'smile.' It's not such a big deal to me, seeing as I ALWAYS get this food to go and I've found that beer almost always beats soda but if such things matter to you, I thought I'd mention it.

If you are looking for fried chicken in South Beach, this is the spot. I added this business to…read moreYelp because when I was trying to locate a good fried chicken place in SoBe, yelp had nothing. If you try to search for this place online, its as if the South Beach location does not exist. But I promise you, that as of 12-17-12 it is there and tasty. I am not sure why this place does not show up in google or on any maps, but it is always busy so maybe they just don't need any more advertising. This place is a franchise and this one is located within a little convenience store. Its on Washington near 14th on the east side of the street. It has a 6 foot tall chicken statue inthe doorway so it is kind of hard to miss. It is take-out only. No tables, no waitress, no delivery. If you are craving cheap, good fried chicken, this is best place in South Beach. Sometimes they screw up the order, after all, this is Miami. Just double check your order before you leave as they are always willing to correct any mistakes they made. Menu is just fried chicken, potatoes and biscuits. Maybe there is another vegetable option, but I've never ordered it.

Excellent choice for seafoods and meat…read more Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very tightly packed aisles though. Not much room to maneuver. Everyone basically ignores the no pets rule.

Had the opportunity to compare cold relieving product brands, that I haven't heard about before. Paid more than if from a local CVS, but grateful that some of the products were on sale if using a Prime membership. Self checkout was super easy: scanned a new QR code from the Amazon mobile app, and payment was applied directly to the card on file (5% cash back for Whole food purchases). If I was staying in the area, would absolutely come here for their freshly prepared meals as a choice. They have a nice outdoor seating area that wasn't too crowded, so spent a little time admiring the weather before heading back. Multiple signs warning people not to feed the birds...
