Paying over twice as much for products reminds me of the adage: "A fool and his money are soon parted". The idea that 'it's a more visually pleasant experience'....you know you're just buying groceries, right? read more

Publix has become the leading name in the supermarket field here in the southeast. Once you experience a Publix supermarket yourself, I am confident that you will understand how Publix has become such an iconic supermarket brand and has developed such a loyal customer base down here in the southeast. Publix has created a solid reputation by offering incredible customer service, great BOGO (buy one, get one free) deals, and we cannot forget their subs, which are affectionately known as "Pub Subs." Coming from New Jersey, a state known for their great subs, in a way, it hurts me to state that a supermarket has some of the best subs in the area. But it is also a 100% true statement. Publix subs are very good. My go-to sub is probably their Italian sub, which is truly a tasty offering. I also enjoy their roast beef and cheese sub. I would definitely recommend upgrading it by using Boar's Head meat. It is definitely worth the small upcharge. It is great to see Publix expanding beyond the boundaries of their home state of Florida and spreading throughout the southeast. Not only am I happy about it, but I am confident that the communities where Publix opens a location are very grateful for a Publix opening by them. I would definitely recommend this particular Publix location or any Publix location for that matter and I give it five stars. read more

Much better than Whole Foods. Very friendly employees! Publix also offers a free cookie for the kiddos! Very neat five stars!

Somehow, the staff at Publix always seem to be in a positive mood and willing to help find a hard-to-find item. Shopping isn't typically a fun experience but the attitude of the associates during a retail experience makes a big difference! The assortment of veggies is somewhat limited compared to other higher-end groceries but they typically have radicchio or something interesting to break up the monotony of onions, garlic, potatoes and carrots. I wish they had dandelion greens more often since they are truly wonderful to eat! read more

I love shopping here, everyone is always so nice to me. I wish they kept the shopping carts out of the parking lot, last week my car was hit by one. read more

Both Publix customer service and prices have gone downhill. This Publix highlights all of this. The store has low or no stock in most items. The staff including the cashiers are rude and not attentive. I went into the store today to look for a few items. I asked for help to find an item and the staff refused to look in the back. When I went to check out the cashier refused to take my gift card and the bagger instead of bagging my items decided to flirt with the cashier. Even the clientele at the store leave something to be desired. They stop in front of you and do not leave any room for you to pass and this happened twice with the same person today. I have been to the Publix in Palm Harbor which is much cleaner and better stocked. Looking at Publix has a home their prices have skyrocketed and are equivalent of those of Whole Foods. I would much rather shop there and have fantastic customer service than at Publix. Shopping really did used to be a pleasure and now it's turned into a nightmare every time I go into the store. This chain has lost my patronage. read more

Horrible. This is the most horrific cooked chicken I've ever seen. I'm so disappointed I purchase two of Publix rotisserie chickens to find they were horribly undercooked. read more

See all

This is by far the WORST RUN PUBLIX . I have been shopping at Publix for 40 years and this store in North Wood Plaza is far from Shopping is a pleasure . To avoid the frustration I typically go out of my way and shop at Bay Bridge location. Due to time crunch I didn't have that luxury. Once again this ILL RUN MISMANAGED STORE did not have a BOGO item available. The sale started TODAY AND THESE GUYS ARE OUT OF STOCK? please note this is not a hot COVID Commodity, it's a basic bakery item. Lakeland needs to get over here and watch how poorly this store is run . Until management changes I'm not going back. read more

Normally, I'd give Publix a high rating, but ... this one was opting to have their parking lot re-surfaced. This made a difficult parking lot even harder to park in. They had a lovely bakery and a nice wine selection - the two things I came in for, but their card selection wasn't impressive and their gift wrap left a lot to be desired. The cashier and bagging girl were AWESOME though. read more

I used to buy all my groceries here back when I worked 50+ hours per week & time was precious. Upon retiring though I discovered Aldi, Walmart, Costco & their MUCH THINNER PRICE MARGINS, COMPARABLE (IF NOT SUPERIOR) QUALITY, STAFF, & CLEANLINESS. The parking lot (hazardous) is only exceeded by The Home Depot up at Curlew for entrees. Consequently, I buy fewer and fewer foodstuffs at publix, focusing on BOGO's, sale items with discounted prices that are actually less than my favorites' everyday prices, Boer's Head meats & Five Grain Italian Bread. Here comes the Chutzpah. We like the bakery's Five Grain Italian artisanal Bread very much, but I want unsliced for freezing rather than sliced. In spite of MANY requests & complaints, the bakery mgn't/staff generally slice everything that doesn't move after cooling from the oven. If I call ahead to request unsliced loaves be set aside for later pick-up, I get noticeably less-leavened, less-puffy, more-dense, smaller loaves. We prefer this bread for sandwiches & are willing to pay the additional $1.84 in SALE PRICE ($2.99 vs $3.59 reg.) over our other breads bought elsewhere for this purpose. I guess I'll just have to "knuckle-under" to the MAN & take what I'm given. read more

This is one of my favorite Publix locations. Not extremely busy & you can always find a helpful staff member that doesn't just point...they take you to the item you're looking for. Worth the drive :) read more

The new containers for the gouda mac are not good..i don't want to eat cardboard when scooping it out to heat it up. read more

Publix - The new containers for the gouda mac is terrible. I don't want to eat cardboard scooping it out to heat it - Grocery Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

My favorite market of all time. Freshest produce. I've always found everything I need. Every employee is quick to offer assistance.

Very clean and excellent customer service. I loved that they had a great selection of organic, local and conventional produce! Coming from the inflated prices of food in Hawaii, all the prices looked shockingly low but I know they were just mainland prices! Tazo tea was on sale for $2.50 and dry shampoo was on sale for $3.... both awesome deals that I was impressed with. They did also have a lot of BOGO (Buy one, get one) deals that we would have taken advantage of if we were doing a bigger shopping trip. Cashiers were really sweet even though they had to work on Christmas Eve! Something that I think is very important is that they had a carry out service for customers. In FL, you have a lot of senior citizens, so I think this is an important service. read more

Publix is an average grocery store at best. There is nothing really special about them. There prices are higher than the same stuff at Walmart. In this area they are behind the times when it comes to adding self check out lanes. There is only one in the whole county that I'd even consider shopping at. The management treats their employees horribly at this location and in this area. I have first hand knowledge of this. I've heard cursing coming from the back and on the floor by employees. If I were you I'd make the trip to the one on East Lake and Tampa or just shop at a different grocery store all together. I heard Kroger's has a distribution center here that has an excellent online order process. I haven't checked them out yet, but I will soon. I know some people won't shop at a store that treats it's employees bad. If that is you stay far away from here. If you don't care about things like that then enjoy your average experience at this average chain store. read more

Not my favorite location, but works in a pinch. This is the location I go to after the chiropractor to get lunch on the way back to work. Gripes The awkward entrance and exit - it seems tight and the carts are outside instead of inside. The produce isn't as fresh as it is at other locations in the area. Goods The staff isn't as friendly as my normal Publix but they try. The restroom is up to par with normal Publix locations. But overall this Publix location gets a 3 for effort. read more

Role model Publix, but the location gives this store a few hang ups... Many (not all) of the shoppers here are snooty, as well as some of the customer service staff. I do not feel welcome here like I do at other locations. And the parking is ridiculous. You'd think it was a yuppy motor derby out there. Thank goodness I love their products. Their departmental specialties are all on point and I've never had a problem finding what I'm looking for. This is definitely not my preferred location. If you want a great staff without all of the upturned noses, I highly suggest the Boot Ranch Publix. It's only minutes away from here. read more

Pretty nice people work at this location. Selections are good and prepared foods are fresh. But his has now happened twice. They have a deli counter that makes sandwiches fresh. On the menu above the counter they have a Reuben sandwich on the menu. And they people working have no idea how to make it. They actually ask you multiple times how to make it while you stand there, when it is on the board above their heads. It's perplexing. If they deli counter can't make the sandwich why is it on the menu they stand under? read more

Unfortunately this is the closet Publix to me. The staff is nice but their Produce never last more than a couple of days. On several occasions I have noticed management of the substandard rotting produce and generally filthy conditions of the shelving in the produce area. The standard reaction is given by the management but yet it continues. It's either an issue with the produced not being kept to proper temperature in the deliver trucks or it's sitting to long in the warehouse or the stores loading dock. Since we have had to throw out so much produce I. The past we now will only go to the organic locations. We have also stopped purchasing any seafood from this location after watching the the fish guy throw raw fish from on tray onto another stack of different type of fish. I also hate that Publix places sheets of plastic between the layers of cheese and never deduct the weight from the scale and charge every customer for more than what they are actually getting. They are one one Star above the several outdated chain across the street. read more

Publix - onions and tomatoes in a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Excellent Publix location with nice layout and friendly staff. The employees are always happy to say hello and offer any assistance. Standard Publix amenities. The deli and sub station is always packed, so be prepared to wait for a little bit if you aren't willing to grab a pre-made sub. Checkout is never an issue and they always have plenty of lanes open to avoid a long wait. My biggest challenge with this location (which isn't their fault) is that the AT&T signal is completely gone the moment I walk in through the doors with zero cell reception. If you are an AT&T customer, be sure to work from an offline grocery list and know your recipe before you walk in or you won't be able to access. read more

Never been to a better Publix. They're always working to improve the store and the staff is so friendly. I always get my pub sub from here too. Delicious! read more

So there really shouldn't be any real surprise to the rating. I think Publix, by and large, tries to deliver a consistent and well thought out experience to their customers - and live by their credo "We will never knowingly disappoint you." Which is a powerful statement to make for a top 10 retail chain in the whole United States. And this doesn't end with the sub shop. I think, the hidden gem of Florida, the deli custom creates sandwiches as fresh as can be. The whole experience is great. If someone needs help because an order wasn't particularly right, they make sure it is right before they leave. As long as you don't walk in looking for a fight, you generally will have a good experience. There is a reason why it dwarves other supermarkets in Florida, and it doesn't take a Yelp review to figure it out. read more

Deli almost always puts the wrong meat in sub. It's hard to tell if they're lazy or don't know how to read labels.

Very clean and helpful workers and store. My husband and I do the majority of our grocery shopping here. Fresh produce and love the 10 for 10's! read more

Nice store with helpful staff. Stopped in here on my way back home one night and didn't have any problems finding what I was looking for. Prices are in line with other Publix in the area little high though the BOGO deals tend to make up for it. Store was clean and well maintained as well. read more

Let's face it. I go to publix for a reason and do do you. They always have carts that work, great produce, deli, ect. By the way they always have great people working and why would you not like hitting up the checkout lines with all the young people working. It's all about the experience and it's worth the trip. read more

It's tough to beat Total Wine, just a few minutes away. However this is a great one stop shop after picking up a quick dinner at Publix. The cashier is typically very friendly and will suggest any and all liquors, and the best part is they generally pick the best deals. Buy one, get one call vodka on a Monday night? Sure, why not! read more

Besides Publix being a fantastic company to begin with, this specific Publix is ALWAYS clean and in order. Their Staff is always polite and friendly, and actually care that you chose to do business with them. They always greet you, and make you want to come back. I don't shop any where else for groceries! read more

I absolutely love this Publix. I shop there at least twice a week and have learned to go in the mornings when it's not so busy. Yes, the parking lot can get quite crazy, but that's the trade-off for friendly staff, lots of BOGOs, and a clean store in a nice area. The staff go out of their way to help when you can't find an item. They also pay attention to the checkout lines. Always opening a new line if they notice a backup. I would say that my only disappointment is that they don't have a pharmacy. Other than that, no complaints! read more

When I moved here from California one of the first things I needed to do was find a place to shop. There are Publix literally everywhere, very convenient. I like this store. It's clean and well organized. There is always somebody around to ask for help and they know everything about the store and it's products. The food is well priced for a grocery store, always fresh and good. The bakery is okay, I've seen better, and the deli is good. Checkout was fast, very fast. This is where I like to shop on a regular basis. read more
