Productive and enjoyable visit at this Fort Lauderdale Publix. The modern deli section offered a convenient, healthy option with the turkey Swiss sandwich on whole wheat bread and southern-style potato salad, making for a satisfying snack at a great price under $10.00. It's also nice that I was able to cash in my FL Lotto tickets and grab a few more while here. The full-service Starbucks and liquor store certainly add extra convenience for those looking to grab a coffee or pick up something special for later. Cudos to the management for assuring the store was sparkling clean and the shelves were well stocked with inventory. read more

This Publix is near my job and was once my favorite Publix. Recently in the prepared food/deli department there are unfriendly faces that seem to be bothered that you have an online order. I usually order my lunch online to grab and go, but lately I find myself going to Publix less. In my chicken tender wraps are the hardest pieces of chicken; it almost seems like the pieces that are supposed to be discarded. And don't bother telling them what you want on your wrap; they'll make it just the way they want to. same goes for my salads. Since 2026 has begun, it has not been a pleasure. read more

A Publix is a Publix is a Publix....but depending on the socio-economic demographics of the area, prices will vary. Yes, you read that correctly. Depending on the location of the store and the wealth (or lack thereof) of the residents in the area, prices will vary from one Publix to another. I've been here many times when in this shopping center, but for some reason I missed doing a yelp review. The most recent time, I ran in to see if they carried a particular soup mix, which they didn't have here and to pick up a couple other items. Frankly, some of the prices were crazy -- bananas were outrageous. So, the things I thought I'd buy, I didn't. But we do like their deli meats, in general. And a few varieties of soups that are not carried in the local Walmart neighborhood grocery. Plus, their produce is pretty here -- even if it's pricey. So yes, if in the area, we'd come back again. read more

On my way back from Deerfield, I stopped at this Publix to get some frozen yogurt...I wanted to get my frozen treat closer to home, so minimize melting and defrosting. This Publix has lots of parking, but it can still get busy during peak hours. I have shopped here before for baked good, groceries and now for my frozen yogurt. Nice staff, easy shopping experience. When I got home, I had some of the chocolate frozen yogurt and I thought it was good and creamy, but not as chocolate as I wished for....Maybe because it is a frozen yogurt not a frozen ice cream....but the flavor was not bold as I had wished for...still I am happy that I got it since it does have much less fat than regular ice cream. Good buy..... read more

Publix - Frozen yogurt. Chocolate - Grocery Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

Filthy (hasn't been touched today at all -at 10:30am) men's restroom. I've never seen that before at any Publix.

Formerly a Safeway and before that an Albertsons and now a Publix. But, alas, it hasn't changed all that much through all of these ownerships. The aisles are still very much the same, as is the lighting and the checkout counters. However now that it is a Publix it is far better organized with far more enhanced and eye appealing displays in all departments. Indeed, the seafood looks so much fresher. The eyes of the fish are now bright and clear. When it was an Albertsons the fish eyes were often milky in appearance and not all that much better when it was Safeway. There is also a separate (Florida law requires separation) liquor store which is very well stock with a staff that is much more polite and friendly. I noted some of the prior Safeway employees in the super market but not in the liquor store. I can also understand why Publix wouldn't have wanted. They were just trashy in appearance as well as not being all that helpful or friendly. As it is so much improved over the last two ownerships, I'm going Four Stars. read more

I've always enjoyed coming here. I came here when it was Albertson's and continued when it became something else (I don't remember the name). But eventually they closed and Publix moved in. Now, this makes sense since the store had just been completely remodeled and really does look nice. It's an asset to Publix to have a shiny new store in Oakland Park. The only part that is confusing is when you walk out of the store and look straight ahead and see Publix. Yes, there are two stores directly across the street from each other. The nice thing about this is that if you are driving on Commercial and you need to stop in for groceries, you don't have to make a left turn to get to Publix. Whichever way you happen to be driving, they will be on your right. They'll be on your left too, but ignore that one for now. This does cut down on competition. By not moving out of their original location they prevent someone else from moving in. So, Publix probably does really good business on this corner. I think they should do the same thing in other parts of Florida; just put up a store on the other side of any busy street. Then they can have competing prices against each other. That would make shopping more interesting. Well, for me it would be. read more

They do not enforce the "10 items or less" sign in the express lane and prioritize rude entitled customers over people who follow the rules.

This location was an Albertson's for years. It was the kind of run-down neighborhood supermarket you might expect to find in a more out-of-the way place, to be honest. They had a distinctive layout which I never really got used to, but had pretty much everything you could need. Recently they were bought out by Safeway, and substantially upgraded, though the layout was still kind of odd. Most recently Publix took over. Which is weird, because there's another Publix right across Commercial Blvd. - literally a few hundred yards away. It's not a terrible idea, but I thought maybe they'd make it a Greenwise market to set it apart from the nearby store.... and they didn't. There IS a liquor store, which certainly adds value, however =) Overall the location is clean and brightly lit and appealing. They also have an instore Starbux - which is nice and convenient if you want a Latte to go ;) They have a good selection, full bakery and deli so you can find all of your Publix stand-bys (subs!) The non-standard layout is still confusing to me, but this location is very convenient from my office - you don't have to deal with the stupid traffic associated with the Commercial and Dixie intersection. I do wish they'd gone the Greenwise route though. read more

Publix - a parking lot with parked cars - Grocery Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

The pharmacist will answer your question but in a very short abrupt manner. Maybe she is busy all the time, I dont know. But its convenient. Bathrooms are dirty. The cashiers are good for the most part except for a few of the young kids. In my opinion they need more training. And ofcourse they have all the usual food. If I'm on that side of the street I go there. Otherwise I go across the street. I wouldnt go out of my way to go there, but its an ok location read more

Lakeview location is very clean and organized! Meds and completed pretty ... the one thing if I must say a couple of the ladies in pharmacy were not very friendly ! Than again we ate all tried and the world is a bit unstable at the moment! That will not keep me from coming to this location it's great read more

This is one of the worst Publix I have ever been to. Publix has really dropped the ball when it comes to hiring friendly, caring employees. Most of the people acted like they were being forced against their will to be at work. Felt more like I was in the DMV than an upscale grocery store. I had a cashier named Kayla today at register 8 who would not even make eye contact; When I said "Hello" she acted as if I offended her, she rolled her eyes and mumbled "Hi" under her breath. The bagger put jars of pasta sauce with bread and just flung the bags into the cart. This store is a disgrace to the Publix name. It's no wonder, this location hasn't succeeded when it was Safeway or Albertsons, and if the management doesn't do something soon this store will face the same demise. read more

The prices are constantly going up on everything always out of stock on many items the management is rude to both employees and to customers in a typical Saturday night around 6:30-8:00 there are only two cashiers working the restrooms are behond discustingly gross always! The produce is not fresh and the only good thing about this establishment is most of the employees are friendly unlike their managers read more

I cannot comprehend how a grocery store doesn't carry horseradish root especially one as large as Publix. Over the last year I've pretty much gone from all my shopping to completely phasing out shopping at Publix and my visit to this store was really the last straw. I asked the produce section if the had horseradish root and when I was incredulous that they did not as I am used to buying it in any produce section the person was down right rude. My dad was visiting and he was also incredulous that they did not have it available on Easter weekend if not the rest of the year. read more

This is a very clean organized and amazing place they keep everything full all the time they have an amazing staff, great personality and educated people all around the store. These store have an employee name Melina, she went above and beyond to help me out today she saw me carrying a bunch of stuff in my hands and she offer to get me a cart and I reply no thank you otherwise I keep putting stuff in it lol, so she stop doing what she is doing and ran to get me a basket. To some people that is their job, but as for me it is going above their job because she has a lot of cleaning to go in the store and yet she offered me to help with out any hesitation even drop everything she was doing to help me out with a big smile on her face and very happy to assist. I don't get that type of service too often here in Florida. Thank you Publix for having amazing service and good staffing. read more

The prices at the register don't match the advertised specials, and they refuse to honor the specials. It's happened multiple times, mostly on wine purchases. It's like being lied to. And no one likes being lied to. It's too bad because their selection of international foods is a lot better than the Publix across the street. read more

Shopping is truly a pleasure here. Always clean, The workers are always helpful, and the subs from the deli are always amazing. Staff can always help me find anything I need. Thank you publix! read more

The staff here is horrible. I made this my go to publix since I moved to Wilton I won't be back to this one or another ever.

Clean, friendly, helpful staff, bakery is amazing love the cakes, and it has a starbucks inside!!! read more

WILL NEVER GO BACK! 3 weeks ago I bought a bag of fresh express salad, (Caesar kit) and got food poisoning from it. All the manager could do was refund my money saying someone probably left it on the shelf and someone put it back. We only stopped today because it was on the way home needing milk. We picked up 3 half gallons of milk that were 2 days expired!! On the way to customer service we found 2 bags of lettuce sitting on a shelf in pharmacy!! Given I had food poisoning weeks ago from this issue and returning the expired milk the manager could care less!!! UNBELIEVABLE. read more

I grew up in South Florida, so Publix has been my go to grocery store for a year. But I have to be honest, in the last four years, I've been less and less impressed. The variety of vegetables that they offer is saddening. They only have about five kinds of apples and one of pretty much everything else. Additionally, their Prices have gone way up in the produce department. He used to be able to get those three heads of Romain lettuce in a plastic bag for three dollars, and now it is five dollars. The same with the big plastic boxes of lettuce... When this grocery store building used to be Albertson's are used to get it for four dollars, and now it is five or six dollars. And lastly, they put EVERYTHING they Possibly can in plastic. I have no idea why or since when zucchini needed to be in a plastic bag, or asparagus needed to be in a plastic bag, but it seems like they put anything they can in a hard plastic bag so that they can charge more money for it. I do still like it, but it is very expensive. read more

Publix - Almost $4 for one?? - Grocery Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

This Publix is an imposter! It used to be Safeway and we wish they would've completely renovated it. When we walk in, it doesn't feel like Publix. It feels like Safeway with Publix branding. We live closer to this Publix but we would rather drive to the other Publix across the street. read more

This Publix has the best sushi chef and selection out of all those I've tried in the area. The lady that makes it will customize your order in any way you wish. You actually get a generous amount of fish, and not just a bowl of rice garnished with a strip of fish. The store itself is alright. Its it's never super busy there. Little odd layout as they bought out Safeway and kept it their layout. It's a boutique style, which I like. All essentials are there. It's clean and pleasant. They also have a Starbucks store there. Definitely a plus. 4 stars because I preferred it as Safeway. Publix just got greedy and bought them out. read more

The announcement comes on in the store talking about face masks, social distancing, and ONE WAY AISLES. Every Publix I have been to in a five- mile radius does not follow ONE WAY aisles and not only do they not enforce it but the employees go the wrong way constantly. I am scared of this pandemic and HATE that I am crossing two-feet away from non-conformists. When I go to better stores (without naming them directly: "complete foods" and "fresh store") the CDC rules are enforced. I'm no longer supporting Publix due to repeated ignorance for directives given by the government, as supported by the 14ty amendment. read more

Well, Folks, I hate to be the naysayer here -- "Every party needs a poop...." Haha! -- but the new Publix is simply OK. To be honest (like most folks, no doubt), when I had heard about Safeway's -- a really [Penny] dreadful store! ;) -- demise and what was going to be a Phoenix-like Publix makeover, I was puzzled simply because of the Publix in Northridge Mall across the street. However, the rumor was that this new Publix was going to focus more on "organics" and "natural" items/produce -- Publix's version of Whole Foods, so to speak; more upscale -- so that made sense to me, esp. since I'm prone to organics, anyway. In short, I was intrigued and looking forward to its new incarnation. Alas, as it's turned out, they've (that is, the Fat Cats of Corporate) simply cranked-out yet another Publix (which is fine, in and of itself); but, this time around, the design layout is downright awful; it's a trudge to make it from one end to the other, I tell ya...! All the aisles are laid-out in a north/south pattern with no cross-aisles (east/west). I can understand Corporate trying to utilize valuable space to its maximum; however, the elimination of cross-aisles means that one is forced to trek -- yes, it actually feels like a "trek"! -- the entire length of the aisle to get off of the train! (Egads!) With a cross-aisle, at least one has the option of bailing the aisle if you find there's nothing for you in this one. :) I jest (a bit); but, for me, that aisle layout (being "forced" like cattle through a marketing display diorama, as it is now) is simply bad design. Essentially, they've kept the exact layout of the booted Safeway, but removed the cross-aisles and former organics section. And (for me) the fact that there's absolutely nothing special as far as the organics goes, I'm gonna stick with the "old" Publix across the street; the one I'm used to with shorter aisles and where I know the lay-out and I can find what I need with the most efficient use of my time. The bottomline is the efficient use of my valuable time.... "Old" Publix: Efficient. "New" Publix: Inefficient. [As an aside: Even though I keep hearing how Publix plans on keeping both stores open, I suspect the Northridge Publix will close once its lease is up. Financially it makes sense for Corporate. Already, I've noted, with no competition around, Publix prices have shot-up considerably. (For example, the Bolthouse chocolate protein drinks, which the Northridge Publix used to sell for $3.99 (2 for $7 on sale), has slowly crept up and is now at over $5!!! And this is just one of a multitude of higher prices I've noticed since Safeway's demise.) As it stands, on the few times I've gone into the new store -- the one I'm reviewing -- to shop, it's been very empty, esp. considering its size. It's certainly not getting the throngs that were no doubt hoped for. It does have that valuable liquor license, though! :D And yet another Starbucks.... :P Bloop!] read more

This store is the prettiest Publix I've seen but they never have my deli pick ups ready twice now I've tried today I even had them make it ready 30 mins before I planned on getting there and still wasn't ready .....maybe I have bad luck or they just suck lol read more
