Best service at a Publix pharmacy is here…read more Sweet techs and they will complete transfers for you if other places are out. They also help you with directions.

So this is a rare review of Publix for me as I believe that they are far and above the best Alabama…read moregrocery store. However my experience today did not resonate that. And really more speaking about two employees more than the store overall. When you go to the pharmacy, usually it's not the best thing in the world either you're in pain or something along those lines I get I may not have been answering the question to the best of my ability but to kind of get frustrated with me was kind of out of line.. but I will say Ethan makes up for it by always being exceptionally nice and pleasurable when I've had to speak with him. The other employee just really did not seem to know how to operate the customer service desk or answer questions that was being asked, which is very unusual as I feel that Publix has some of the best customer service, but unfortunately that was not today. Adding to that I feel like the bathrooms were really not up to public standard standards of cleanliness. The pictures is kind of don't do justice as it would not be someplace. I would run into use the restroom.

One thing worth noting is everything we got had a lot of meat They don't skimp! I will GLADLY pay $3.50 for a loaded down taco! Prices are clearly marked Here's a rundown of what we got: 1. Torta Cubana- filled with alllll the meats and it's A TON of food. Two hungry men could easily share one sandwich. 2. Steak Taco- the best street taco I've had in the Bham area so far. Lots of meat. Yellow corn tortillas, so fresh. Added my own onions/cilantro/hot sauce so I got as much as I like to have (which is a lot) 3. Steak Gorditas- tortilla pocket was perfect. Meat and cheese perfect. I will think of this every day this week and get this again and again forever. 4. Papusas (bean and cheese)- Also perfect. The tortilla was perfectly Mexican style and thin with a little crisp on the outside. How do they get them so thin without tearing? I dream of making papusas like this. Someone's abuela with 50 years of experience must pat these out cause that's the only explanation! They are beautiful! If you are wanting some authentic Mexican food, this is your solution. There's a buffet that looks incredible. I don't even know everything that was on it but it all looked homemade. The market has the best avocados I've seen anywhere and the assortment of dried chiles is impressive. Go for the restaurant, then do your grocery shopping after you eat. Prices are excellent. Everyone is friendly. I will probably go back this week

Not only is it easy to browse the newest ads, I like that there is overlap in the ads--one day that you can shop two weekly ads at the same time. Because this location is a little farther from me, this perk makes it easier to combine the trip to save both time and money. Of course, our favorite is the bulk shopping items; okay, maybe mostly the gummy bears. They've gone up recently, but when you can get them on a sale, it makes it all worth it!

I've used the pickup service at this location for awhile now, but after my experience on 5/18/25, I…read morewill no longer go to this location for anything. Yesterday, I was called by an employee, yelled at and hung up on. So thoroughly confused I called back because it sounded like he started in the middle of the conversation or had confused me with someone else. I was again yelled at but this time I asked for the pickup manager and after being asked to hold, I was hung up on again. I called back, angry that WM feels it's ok to call customers, yell at them and hang up on them, this time I spoke to a series a women who all identified themselves as the manager, clearly lying. Eventually, the phone was given to an adult supervisor Donna, I told her that before this encounter, I had adjusted the pickup time in an effort to avoid the rain and that when I realized on my way to WM that I wouldn't be able to avoid the rain, I planned to hold off on checking in so that the kids working the pickup area wouldn't have to get wet. So it was beyond insulting to get a call from some kid, yelling at me and then hanging up on me. Only to be followed by a series of conversations with women who behaved like children (Jasmine and Jessica, I believe) who have never interacted with the public/customers before. Once again, I was called by WM and yelled at and hung up on. If you allow children to represent you and you haven't bothered to do minimal customer service training with them, don't expect adults to put up with it. This interaction has caused me to cancel my WM annual membership and genuinely take my business elsewhere. For instance, Aldi's and Publix have never contacted me, yelled at me, hung up on me, lied to me or gaslit me. I think I'll shop there going forward.

Although I'm not a big fan of large, cold sandwiches, I do always crane my neck to look as I walk by. They looked like they were on top of it here. I was here to buy some balloons for my mama's birthday! She did a great job, caring about every detail of my 8 balloons (string length, pairing, weight-style, etc). She did take a while. I felt as though I could've maybe blown them up myself just as fast. It was a windy day and I immediately lost one of my eight balloons when I walked outside. [Hold your hats for a Kurt Vonnegut reference in a Yelp review about Publix]. So it goes... P.S. I think they should rebrand their store brand ice cream as "Pub-licks." Thank you.

We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!
