    As a Florida native Publix is a staple in every community. I don't know a single Floridian who doesn't love Publix. After I joined the Navy in 2014 I saw Publix less frequently unless I went back home to visit. This made me so sad. But now they've expanded to Virginia these last few years and that makes me happy! Publix is the Chik-Fil-A of grocery stores. Hopefully that puts it into perspective for those who have never been. This Williamsburg location is no exception. Friendly staff, excellent customer service as well. You can find food that's localized in Florida that has been imported. The deli section is amazing. They have premade food or you can order it fresh if you prefer. Highly recommend a Publix chicken tender sub with lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard. 10/10 combo. If you live anywhere in the 757 it is definitely worth the drive to visit this location.

    The facility is ALWAYS clean. Most of the employees are extremely friendly! FISH in produce is soooooo friendly and ALEX V. the bagger was soooo friendly as well. If you go by this location, ask for them!!

    I decided to go to Publix for lunch because they have the best selection of food. Well, the first thing I noticed was there She Crab Soup! I had to try some because it's difficult to find in this area. Oh my goodness! The creamy broth, chunks of crab meat with just the right amount of seasoning. This was a great lunch! My mouth and soul is satisfied. The price was great and it was really worth it.

    This Publix appears to be a fairly new addition to the Colonial Square Shopping Center. This shopping center is located along US 301 (the road name is Boulevard). When you come up to the shopping center, you may not see the place right away depending on what direction you are coming from, but once you get in the shopping center, it's a hard place to miss. It's been a few decades since I have been inside of a Publix supermarket. Currently, there are none down here in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. The travel time to get here was about two hours one way using US 460. Once we came inside, the place was quite large. There is even a Starbucks inside here as well as a sandwich shop. The store is extremely clean and well maintained. It was nice and bright as well, which you don't always find. The first stop here was to go to the pharmacy, as that was the main reason for taking the longer trip, since some of the prescriptions my mom takes are free here (as opposed to paying $60-$70 elsewhere here locally). After visiting the pharmacy, they said it would be about 15-30 minutes for them to be ready, which was no big deal since we wanted to explore the store anyways. While waiting for the prescriptions to be ready, it was time to explore. There is quite a selection of items to be found here. We found some items that are hard to find at home, so we did get some of those items to take home. You would also find many items you would find at other supermarkets as well, but one thing I did notice is that there weren't as many private label items as I thought there would be. Overall, this was a great supermarket to visit. Until Publix makes their debut in Virginia Beach or the Hampton Roads area, I will make the trip up to here every few months for my mom's prescriptions, along with searching for more stuff I can't find at home. If you are in the area and looking for some grocery items, this is definitely the place to go. Don't forget any competitor coupons, as they take them too.

    When we visit my mother-in-law in Virginia, it's great to be able to still visit Publix for my groceries. We try to cook for her when we are there and as always Publix has the ingredients we are looking for to prepare our recipes. While the layout of this store is different than the Publix we have at home, it's still easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. The staff are helpful and quick to answer questions.

    I was having a serious craving for some crab legs, but didn't want to go to a restaurant. While driving pass Publix I decided I could get them from there. When u walk in to Publix you immediately smell all the goodness from the food they prepare and bakery. I decided to walk pass the prepared food and everything was looking fresh and delicious. The staff all spoke and ask how I was doing. The seafood department had a small line because there seafood selection is really good. I got my crab legs at $13.99 a pound, they steamed them for me too. While waiting for the crab legs to steam I walked around the store. Their produce section looks beautiful. I brought some fruit. While browsing I noticed they have signs that say responsibly sourced throughout the store. They also have signs that tell you if the product was farmed in the USA. As I walked around more staff spoke and asked if I needed assistance. There meat selection also looks good and they were having a sale on steak and pork, that I thought was really good. This was a pleasurable shopping trip, the staff is friendly, the food looks fresh and pretty, and my crab legs were GREAT.

    When will the Williamsburg store be open we are getting desperate?

    I was up at the Publix in Short Pump, VA a few weeks ago. When I had asked some there about it, they said it might be in 4Q18, but could be 2019 as well. There is no firm date yet from Publix about it. I'm hoping they make it down here to Va.…

    Aldi saves, more like Aldi saves lives. I started going to Aldi because of a Google search about…read morecheap wine. To be more specific good cheap wine. I found that Aldi has an amazing selection that is very affordable. I was always intimidated to go because you have to bring your own bags and you have to put a quarter in to get a cart. But for cheap wine I'm willing to try anything. Now I'm going to Aldi for everything not just wine. They have a large selection of things that I typically buy at other stores and the prices are unbeatable. And they have some things at their store that I never knew I was missing in my life. Things you should be buying at Aldi: diapers, bread, eggs, milk, all the Aldi store brand products. Aldi on average is about 30% cheaper than most other stores. They are also very vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free friendly. And did I mention the wine! You can find extremely good bottles of wine for only $6.99. If you're not shopping at Aldi now then you're so late. Try going to any one of their locations. I like mixing it up and going to different locations because I never know what I'm going to find.

    Although Aldi is one of the absolute best places to shop, THIS location SUCKS! They're understaffed…read moreand the staff make decisions which affects the shopper's experience. I recently made a pick up order to be picked up 4 hours after confirming the purchase. 13 items. When I went to the store to wait 45 minutes for any type of notification, I went in and a Caucasian curvy worker informed me she shut the system down, without reason at 12pm and any orders after will be placed tomorrow. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!
