I ordered a cake from Publix and everybody that ate the cake was so happy. The grocery store is so nice. The bakers at the bakery were just so sweet and so kind. They made a delicious cake. It was so wonderful.

I don't think I have ever been in a Publix before. If I have, I do not remember it. So I am…read morecounting this as my first experience with one. Came here to grab a few things, or at least we thought it was going to be a run for that. However, we kept running into some issues. What we wanted was either a bit overpriced or out of stock. I liked the store as a whole. It is much nicer than other grocery stores I have been in. Almost on the level of Harris Teeter if you will in this area. I guess a tip for shopping here, plan ahead. Especially if you are in town on vacation. It'll make for a better experience, less time spent browsing, and not having to deal with all that havoc of everyone else having the same idea as you when you get to the area.

She really enjoyed the rum here. While the drinks are fine, if a bit pricy, the service is lacking. The two girls that work here do not have the maturity or customer service skills to make it worth coming back for me. Are college-age girls the only available human capital available during the summer months here? I sat at a table which is supposed to be waited on. After letting the girl know I wasn't ready, I asked for some water which I never got. I sat for 10 minutes being ignored. I finally went to the bar to order and was helped immediately (the place was only half full - not that busy for two people). Not a good experience. At $14 a pop for a craft cocktail, I expect better interpersonal skills from a bartender. Why do employers think that the personality trait of 'nice' translates to a better employee?

They also have ice cream and an ATM if you need to grab some cash while in the area. It is a little on the expensive side but, everything around this area is so, I wasn't shocked by the prices and I like to support local businesses.

It's not fair to judge this particular location for selling inferior products, but this is where it…read morewas bought. My parents got me the sweet and spicy beef jerky and the habanero mango peanuts a part of my christmas gift and both are terrible. Way too much sugar in both. I'll give the jerky a pass because it leads with the sweet, but the peanuts are awful. It's more sugar and artificial fruit flavor than peanut. You get a bit off heat at the end, but the whole point of using habanero chilis is that it has a natural fruity flavor that is completely masked by the sugar and artificial fruit flavor. Could have just used capsaicin extract and would have the same effect. And would be much cheaper. I know this location isn't responsible for production. The company's website shows certain reviews, but doesn't appear to have a mechanism to submit them. Other than to email a specific store. So here I am

We popped into White's for a drink and a snack and we were pleasantly surprised by all that this store offered. The overall vibe is that of a grocery store and general store. As an added bonus, they had a lovely section offering gifts. Even more fun, there is a small section selling vintage items. I personally was happy to find a 40 year old Milton Bradley puzzle. Toward the back of the store there is what I could call a lunch counter or deli. The restaurant looked comfy and the menu looked temping. There were a few diners in there and they all seemed happy. Service at the counter was a bit distracted but overall, we had a good experience here.
