Enjoyed stepping into this nice and clean - I suspect: Brand New Publix store in Cornelius. Store is packed with an array of items. Fruits/Vegetables were extremely colorful and fresh. I was shopping on Thanksgiving Eve. Lots of staff in the store and they make themselves visible and available to help customers. This was rather refreshing. Prices are what you expect. They sell quality items and they have a nice selection of North Carolina items. That's pretty cool! Why do I keep coming back to Publix? I really like their Bakery; - I like their rolls and breads. Don't ask me why? Shop smart - they have lots of Buy 1 - Get 1 Free deals available to you. Parking lot was a bit small for a store this size. Didn't have any issues getting in and out however. I suspect this could be an issue as this beautiful area blossoms. Store is lovely. Let's just see if they can maintain its beauty? read more

I purchased 3 platters online today and picked it up at 3pm. When I got home after a 30min drive, I realized all of the platters are barely with cheese or anything for that matter. It is simply a rip off and I would like my full refund. This is not where shopping is a pleasure. MY ASS!! Horrible way of selling food this way, how EMBARRASSING!! read more

Publix - This is the crap I got today!! 3 of them !! - Grocery Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

I had a great experience with Ash from the bakery! From the start she was kind and patient with me while I put in an order for a specialized birthday cake. I showed her a photo of what I had in mind and the cake turned out perfect. I was all around impressed with her customer service, and will be back for other special occasions because of her! read more

Publix - Grocery Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

This place has everything! I was pleasantly surprised I was able to get groceries, toothpaste, and a toothbrush and hair products

This location is clean and well organized, staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and prices are reasonable. I love grabbing a sandwich from here; much better than Subway and I like them better than Harris Teeter, too. They have a really good wing bar and hot bar on most days. read more

Harris Teeter is still my go to store but this location will give them fits. Harris Teeter has always been the gold standard in our local market. That is, till Publix moved in. 90% of my grocery shopping is still with Harris Teeter but we occasionally shop at Publix for cut fruit, fresh bakery products and a few items that Harris Teeter does not carry. Store is new and very clean. Only problem is that they run a very lean operation and it you can't find something, you have to troup to the from of the store to get an answer. Otherwise a very good competitor. read more

A shopping experience at Publix is no short of pleasant and enjoyable! I have fond memories of going to Publix when I was growing up in Miami, so I was very excited to see a Publix open up in Cornelius, NC. This particular Publix is clean, organized and has a nice parking lot (with easy angled parking!) In terms of value, you can't go wrong with their BOGO deals. BTW, their sales paper is super easy to read and is organized really well. If you're buying items that are on sale, I think it's comparable to most grocery stores. I also think their private label items are reasonably priced and taste good. Lastly, I'm a big fan of the Publix bakery. It's the only reliable place I've found to get a good Cuban pastry like a pastelito in the suburbs of NC. Also, I grew up on Publix birthday cake, and I wholly believe it is the tastiest. Their custom cakes are super convenient, and they give you many options for cake flavor and decoration. I've never been disappointed by their selection. Furthermore, they can get you a custom cake quickly. I believe it was 24 hours, but you'll have to check with the bakery counter. read more

Worst experience EVER at this pharmacy. They close from 2-3 for 'lunch'. I waited until 3:15 to call and see if my ex-husband's SEVEN scripts were ready. No answer after trying for 45 minutes so I drive over there. I walk in at 4:10 and the pharmacist (Drew) is EATING while the two techs are standing there shooting the breeze. Didn't they just close for an hour for lunch? Can't be bothered to pick up the phone? I have a patient at home who JUST had open-heart surgery. He needs his meds but they can't be bothered to answer the stinkin' phone. The prescriptions weren't ready, even though they had been called in before noon. I told them to just transfer them to Walgreens and I will go there and have them filled. I go to Walgreens to pick up the prescriptions and this INCOMPETENT and LAZY pharmacist (Drew) called in all of my ex's OLD Rx's instead of the ones from today. So the wonderful, kind, and patient pharmacist at Walgreens had to call Publix to get it straightened out. Lazy pharmacist Drew is either extremely incompetent or doesn't give two craps about his job. I'm going to say BOTH. No compassion, no customer service skills, no competent job skills, total lack of any kind of communication, no time management since he can't get his dinner eaten in the hour he took off for lunch and closed down and disabled the pharmacy phone. This is not the last letter/review I will be writing about this situation. Never again, Publix. You SUCK. UPDATE: The prescription for his painkillers was completely overlooked and never sent over to Walgreens. Today is Thanksgiving so now the patient has to spend TWO NIGHTS with no pain killers after having his chest cracked open a week ago. Shameful INCOMPETENCE. Disgusting apathy. read more

This is the Publix we always go to and the one we've been going to for about 6 years. They always have everything we need, but everything is overpriced! read more

Do you know what it takes to get photos in a supermarket without getting caught? More than you think. I can't just take a photo in plain sight because it's weird. Instead, I pretend I'm a spy and take some stealth shots like it's a surveillance mission. And I don't get caught. Homie don't play that. I'm getting this inkling that you're not sure if I qualify as a homie. Definition of Homie: an acquaintance from one's town or neighborhood, or a member of one's peer group or gang. I don't live in Denver NC, but I do live in the next town. When I visit Publix in Denver, the staff says hello and smiles. Maybe I'm giving myself too much credit, but this makes me assume they remember me. Therefore, they are acquaintances from my area, and in turn, my homies. And that makes me their homie. In fact, the next time I enter Publix, I fully expect the older lady at the front to say, "What's up, homie!" and give me a pound. This place is super clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. However, I bought a cannoli and the cashier said it was an eclair, but an eclair has the texture of a puffy doughnut; a cannoli has the texture of a cookie. I like both but prefer cookies. read more

Sub shop review because today, Tony was fantastic! I stopped in to pick up a lunch for my sister who I mentioned had just had a baby. Tony put my sub together like a pro and even made suggestions as to flavors and sauces that would compliment my choice of protein. We had great conversation, he offered the upgraded combo (chips and a drink) which I didn't need, wrapped my sandwich and wished me congratulations on becoming an aunt! All within 3 min... I was out the door for about $8 with lunch and a great vibe. Thanks, Publix, for always being a solid grocery in the area! And special thanks to Tony for the awesome and personable customer service!! read more

Publix - a stop sign in front of a publix store - Grocery Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Dispensed water is only $0.30 a gallon here and this particular Publix is less out of my way than other places so I stop in as needed. In addition to picking up the infrequent $9.00 key-lime pie I'll take a gander at the produce when I'm here. Other than favorable pricing on organic eggs nothing really inspires making a special trip over here, especially since I switched banks, barbers, and jobs. So until and unless my commute changes Publix will be the place I get stuff when I get water. read more

By way of recommendations via a Facebook group we used Publix for catering last week through the thanksgiving festivities! I ordered a sub tray, a cold cut tray and a pasta salad to feed family arriving on Wednesday- they loved every single bite! I was thoroughly impressed with the presentation and the quality of the food. While picking up the cheese monger gave some fantastic recommendations and the tag stocking shelves didn't let us go more than a minute without offering help to find what we needed! read more

The is by far the best Publix I have had the pleasure of shopping at. The customer service is outstanding! I spent 2 hours, yes two hours! I needed something from just about every isle. Six different employees reached out to me when I was looking longer than the normal customer would. Produce young lady helped me select the best ingredients for guacamole and coleslaw. The meat department young man helped me select the best meats to use for pulled pork and collard greens. The young lady serving samples greeted me and asked if I needed any help since she noticed I'd been in the store for a while. If it wasn't for her I would have forgotten the chicken I needed for another recipe. The young man in dairy section helped me find an alternate to a creamer that was currently out of stock. The young man facing products in an isle helped me select an item. And lastly the man serving samples in the front of the store greeted me and we shared a little of our experience in Atlanta. The store is very organized, well stocked and clean. This means a lot to me as grocery shopping is normally my least favorite thing! I will certainly look forward to it next time! read more

This Publix is a Super Size version. Yes, the aisle are exactly the same model and layout of the other Publix store in Huntersville and Steele Creek. Nevertheless, There is a Sushi station, Salad area and several others. Will be back to visit these. I ran into this area heading to the bakery to getting my usual loaf of bread. There is an area right near the pharmacy where they have all the power bars all displayed which is something new and different. Reminds me of one of those health sections in Earth Fare. Staff are friendly and a resource to find items. Tried to find toilet paper and one would imagine they be in the paper aisle with the paper towels and napkins. Not the case. Toilet paper is located in another aisle with the facial tissue. Is it called toilet paper or toilet tissue? LOL... Tips to save money. Circular comes out every Wednesday. I go for the buy one get one and sale item to save money. Lots of bargains to be had here and fresh food too. Will be back again to visit the deli, saw review from another yelper about the buffalo chicken pizza. read more

For 4 days this Publix had a turkey and shrimp sub as an advertised special. Every day when I tried to order the sub they informed me they were out of shrimp. I mean really? Why have a special when you don't bother ordering and keeping on hand plenty of the ingredients to make the product? I even called earlier today to find out if they had the shrimp and since they did I asked them to set enough shrimp aside for a sub so I could get the special and told them I would be there in about an hour. When I got there the shrimp I asked to be set aside had been thrown out and they had completely ran out of shrimp. This deli leaves much to be desired. read more

Absolutely love Publix. Their fresh baked breads come in a wide variety of flavors. The bakery is awesome. We have sampled many of the items in the bakery and even though we haven't tried everything, everything we have taken home has been awesome. There seafood section & selection is awesome as well. I'm a seafood lover and they are now offering a planned meal. You select your favorite fish, shrimp or scallop. Pick your sauce. They put it in a bag. You take it home and throw it in the over. 15 to 20 minutes later, you have your dinner. You can also pick up recipe cards every week. They cook different items on a daily basis and you can sample them as well. All-in-all we are impressed with Publix and their employees. They are very friendly and informative. Give them a shot for yourself and you will fall in love with this store. read more

I love shopping at Publix! All employees are so friendly and the space is clean. What sets Publix apart is the customer service. You have many smiling faces greeting you and offering help, and even offering to bring your groceries out to your car. Also, I'd be remiss not to mention the famous #pubsub. I love the mediterranean hummus wrap but always get it on their 9 grain bread, which is so amazing and delicious! Also love their soups too! read more

I shop here at least 3 times a week. I can't say anything bad about the cleanliness or friendliness of the store. But whoever made the bow tie pasta salad today 7-21-21 doesn't know what their doing. I had to throw it away as it had 2-3 times more salad dressing in it than usual. It tasted horrible. read more

Thanks to Jeff in the meat department for finding the ground Italian Sausage I needed which was not readily available. He was able to find some which had just been delivered and brought it to me as I was checking out. read more

We love this Publix!!!!! As soon as we get in the area (from up north), we have to stop and stock on our Publix stuff. The store has a great openness to it. They have a cafe with gelato and stuff, deli, bakery, fantastic produce section, large wine area, etc. The staff is very polite and super helpful. read more

Since moving here i was going to Harris teeter every week. Every week I would leave saying how expensive my bill was. I'm so happy there is a publix close by Extremely clean, tons of "BOGO" offers throughout the store. Early to get to location. And most importantly much cheaper than HT. Bye HT. Hello Publix. read more

Having grown up with Publix I thought I knew what to expect when they came to the area. They were always the big dog, so to speak, and no other grocery store compared in quality, cleanliness or service. The Cornelius Publix is nothing special. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice (new) store but there are too many other grocery stores in the area that have just as much or more to offer, specifically the one across the street. I find the layout very choppy, especially when you enter the store. I missed the deli entirely my first visit because I didn't realize it was off to the left. For the most part the prices are much higher than other stores with the exception of what's in the weekly ad. I have yet to buy any meat there because even the sale prices are ridiculous. If it weren't for their customer service, I doubt I would make the special trip to this store. They do have a few items I haven't seen at any other store, but the overall pleasantness of everyone is what makes me come back. I can't think of another grocery chain around here where I've seen management bagging groceries or working in the aisles like they do here. And they don't seem to mind it! LOL read more

What a great experience! Definitely light years ahead of food loin and Harris Teeter. I would at their direct competitor is Whole Foods. Honestly the shopping experience it self was not burn stellar, but what made this a great experience was the level of customer service from the two ladies who rang us out and bagged us. They asked about our day, and we let them know it's our first time there. So they gladly told us about Publix and the coupons! Such a cool idea to do all of your "couponing" online before shopping. Also I was blown away that two ladies in their probably 60s offered to take my bags out to my car for me. No way would I ever let them do that, but still a really nice gesture. Especially for people who shop with kids and have to juggle the grocery kart and kids in the parking lot. I reached out to the verified Publix Twitter account after my visit in hopes they would share my feedback with the store. They said they would recognize the two ladies working! read more

Deli is awesome!! The pastries are candy for the eyes, but I didn't taste any. I opted for the buffalo chicken pizza which is pretty good! This place is less pretentious and less pricey than Whole Foods. The eating area was very comfortable and not too loud like some cafes. Friendly and helpful service. :) overall a great experience!! read more

This store amazes me every time I shop. Every worker is so pleasant every visit. During Covid I feel safer here than any other store. Thank you for cleaning g the carts when we arrive so we know they are clean. Whoever manages this store is excellent and it shows. read more

I love Publix and definitely feel that it is one of the best grocery retailers in the country. This one is pretty close to that, but the deli area is awful. I have been here numerous times for cheese or meats from the deli. It always takes forever, literally. Today I waited for about 5 minutes, left, did my shopping and came back around. Waited another 10 minutes to be served. The associate who was helping me was about to begin slicing the turkey I requested, then another associate took the order of the customer who was in line behind me and jumped on the meat slicer before the associate helping me could get to it. After waiting over ten minutes, I felt this was poor customer service in that associates part. She didn't offer an apology or anything. Of course the person behind me walked off with their sliced meat, before me. Definitely didn't appreciate that. If you're waiting in line... ensure people's needs are met in the order in which they arrive! Also, please try to be more mindful of people's time. read more

Simply put this is the nicest food store in Lake Norman. Everything from the food to its employees is above and beyond. This publix has several kiosks to get food - sushi, breakfast, coffee, subs, soups, salads, etc. The employees are genuinely kind and helpful and recognize me everytime we shop. Who can forget kids get a free publix cookie! mmm..they are delish! read more

Love, love, love this grocery store! All of the employees are friendly and helpful no matter where you are in the store. Great layout of the store makes it easy to find what you need and food is always top notch!! Their competition down the street needs to take notice as I hate if I have to go into one of their stores for anything - messy and unfriendly employees there! read more

Ok, I was so excited for this superstore to come to Cornelius. Now, not so thrilled. So far the veggies have been less than super fresh and the store seems confusing since the veggies are split from the rest of the store. Yes the sushi and bakery are also over there but if you forget something , good luck trying to get back. I purchased a piece of meat which when turned over was like allowed out on the underside. But I will give them this, they replaced it. Love the fact they have sushi but they don't have a many tasting as they Huntervillle store has. So far not super thrilled to say the least. The meats at least so far are better at Teeters. I asked if they could get Goodbelly at customer service and they looked at me like I had three heads. If Teeter can carry product and so can whole foods I cant see why Publix can't. I am still looking for that one store I can get everything in....and so far I don't see the savings they advertise yet. But I do like the no customer number policy. read more

So I guess Publix is known for their great sandwiches and friendly staff, I've had delicious food and great service from other Publix stores.. Just not this one. Last night me and the girlfriend stopped in for a sandwich to take home for dinner, the older woman behind the counter (Joyce was her name for future warning) was the rudest! she was rushing me, interrupting me.. Causing a fuss when she had to cut the meat for my sandwich. I'm not one to usually complain about that kind of behavior but it was that bad. I was completely irritated. She didn't even make the sandwich right and I politely reminded her that it came with bacon and that seemed to have just ruined her day. I know it's just a sandwich at a grocery store but hey first impressions mean a lot and now I'll probably avoid Joyce and her attitude from now on. read more

So bright, happy & clean at this store! First time there today & I was impressed overall, but especially with their produce section. I've been looking for the best place to get produce around here & I found it! Also, the lady @ self check-out was super helpful and friendly! read more

The pharmacists here are amazing. Always so friendly and helpful. They even called a few days later, to follow up! We will never use another pharmacy! read more

I was so excited that they were opening and they didn't disappoint! I love the wine section and Aprons. The bogo deals and the great produce.... I could go on and on read more

I tried to clip my coupons and too my surprise I was wasting my time as they tapped their screens while rolling their eyes as I the customer unloaded and packed my purchases. The cashier had no clue what he was doing and the manager had a bad attitude and also no clue what he was doing. I will only go back for their sushi chef!!!!!!!!! read more
