My experience with Publix & Instacart is very poor. I am still out of five items which were not delivered. Meatloaf stoffer dinner, two cans of sliced and whole jalapeno peppers, casique Mexican cheese, and sour cream, which was never received. I just want to get refunded for items not received. The instacart driver seems like she didn't care. read more

"Brenda" (ass mgr) at the service counter is very snotty and hostile!! She refuses to abide by the Publix standard of "gladly accepting returns!" Or just being hateful for no reason! I HOPE they get rid of these types here "Where shopping is a pleasure!" There are several employees are totally rude here,but hide their name tags! read more

An excellent supermarket. We just moved into the shores a month ago, and I really live this particular market. It is immaculate, a wonderful selection of groceries and then some, and all of the employees are always very friendly ! read more

Tis the night before Christmas and the parking is a mess, it appears this entrance is a challenge on any day of the year but I found a parking spot in the middle of the lot so my walk wasn't terribly far. I was prepared for a chaotic experience with everyone doing their last minute shopping along with a lot of empty shelves, but that wasn't the case, the staff was prepared with plenty of employees stocking the shelves and extra checkers and baggers all working hard to keep things moving and doing it all with a welcoming smile and friendly customer interactions. I had a relatively short shopping list so I anticipated being in and out of here rather quickly. I consider myself an expert shopper so I easily navigated the asiles with little effort circumventing the undecided ones that no doubt could be here awhile. Two bottles of champagne, a few jars of seasonings, a dozen eggs, a loaf of fresh baked french bread and a box of "joy" sugar cones and I'm standing at the checkout. I picked a lane that seemed to be too good to be true and it was, although I was second in line the guy in front of me was doing his last minute Christmas shopping and everyone he knows is getting gift cards and the cashier is even less thrilled than me - he was paying with a stack of Publix gift cards and they all seemed to be of small values so it took several to pay for the cards he was gifting, I'm just glad he couldn't leave a note for each of the recipients. Well she got through it and the holiday season smile never left her but I suspect she was happy to see I only had a few items. I made it to the Jeep to find my aisle completely stuffed with vehicles waiting on a spot just passed mine. I carefully placed my goods in the back since everything in my bags were breakable, as I put the TJ in reverse I realized I just created a real issue for the guy just passed my space by a car fender who was second for the spot all the others were waiting to back out and that's when an Angel appeared out of nowhere not with feathered wings but in the form of a shopping cart pusher dressed in a green Publix shirt who voluntarily took control and directed traffic and made me a gap to escape unscathed, definitely a divine gift for me and the KIA Soul who pulled in my space before I could straighten my steering. I loved this Publix even on one of the busiest days of the year... read more

This is the best Publix in Ocala. The store is always clean. Staff is friendly, especially Harold. He really makes this place shine. The deli staff makes great subs. Management is super nice. I've never gotten anything expired. read more

Publix 40 East Ocala is the worst Publix EVER! The rudeness and hostility from the Prepared Foods mgr, John Paul, is WAY OVER BOARD AND TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!! He has issues that do not suit ANY hospitality employment whatsoever! He cannot treat the customers with courtesy or respect and acts hostile because of having to return bad food for a senior I shop for! IF he takes an issue with a return of bad food HE SHOULD BE REMOVED because it's Publix policy they WILL REPLACE anything or refund our money if the customer is not satisfied with it! 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 that Publix opens a location in are very grateful for a Publix opening by them. I would definitely recommend this particular Publix location or any Publix location and I give it five stars. read more

This store is super nice clean and the staff are super nice. I found what I was looking for right away . I love the produce part of the store the best. The organic produce is price better than other stores and this makes me happy . Being vegan produce is a must be fresh to be good and price right. Thank you Publix for great produce. Parking is good. read more

Where shopping is a pleasure OR when Publix chicken tender subs are on sale Are you really a Floridian if you haven't had one of these bad boys? They are a bit pricey, but so worth it. They grab their fried tenders from the hot case throw it in some soft french bread and then you go wild with your toppings. I keep it simple with, lettuce, spinach, banana peppers & then smother it in honey mustard. Win win chicken (sub) dinner read more

Publix - Chicken tender sub with lemonade - Grocery Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Big with almost anything you might want to consume, except lags in the organic, non-high fructose dairy products. Publix price point for organic Fruits & Veggies is way high; better off going to a local Farmers Market or any of the local grower stands. Staff are fairly nice; even most of those stocking shelves will stop & escort to whatever aisle or item, rather than just pointing. AND Publix carries a better brand selection than the BigBox store down the street. I refuse to buy China-manufactured products that have made the Chinese more wealthy, at America's expense! Easy access off Hwy 40/Silver Springs Blvd & lots of parking. read more

Publix is more expensive than Kroger, but the shopping experience is worth the price difference. The Kroger on 124 in SNELLVILLE, GA is staffed by troglodytes and the manager is corpulent and angry and a cussing machine. Never had a bad experience at Publix! Shopping is a pleasure and the BOGOS are awesome! read more

They were amazing!!! Went above and beyond for my cake order and very reasonable! It was also very tasty! Will be going back again!!!!

Lately, I've been giving out 5 star reviews like Oprah with her favorite things. You get 5-stars! And you get 5-stars! In the case of Publix, it is well deserved. Coming from Los Angeles, where if an employee of a store looks in your general direction, you consider yourself lucky, the service at Publix is mind-blowing. They go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with your visit. I once asked where I could find a particular item. The friendly young man asked a few qualifying questions and told me he'd be right back. Then he took off running to bring me what I was looking for! I didn't have to move. He literally ran the entire way. I didn't expect him to do that, and was a touch embarrassed at first, but I got over it. After talking to my brother about Publix and learning he experienced something similar at this store, I was very pleased to realize that this is par for the course. And the employees aren't just robots- they actually have personalities and can carry on engaging conversations. I love the staff at the sandwich counter. I always have a good time talking to them while they make my sandwich. Speaking of sandwiches, I don't really have to go into much detail here. Publix is known throughout the South as the finest place to get a sandwich, but for my LA readers, I will expand a little. The whole sandwich is huge. A half is also available, but they are so good I never bother with the smaller one. You can either get store brand meats, or, for a little more, you can get Boar's Head brand. And the fresh bread is on point. I always get the white sub roll, which is in that perfect zone where it is soft, but has a nice crust (not too chewy!) holding everything together. They also have a sandwich special for about $6.50 or $7 (whole) that changes every 3 weeks or so. For example, this week it's turkey with bacon, smoked Gruyere cheese, and cranberry orange relish. But the showstopper for me is the chicken tender sub ($8.99 whole). Once I ordered one I never went back. I get the same thing every time I visit. They take about 5 or 6 huge tenders from the hot deli section and chop them up into bite size pieces. I get mine tossed in buffalo sauce, add some Provolone and blue cheeses ($1 for double cheese), and toast the whole thing. To finish up, I have them add ranch dressing and some delicious Boar's Head garlic pickle slices. They also have all of the usual sandwich toppings, which are super fresh, but that's all I get on my sandwich. Mmm, getting hungry just writing about it. So much for not going into detail. That's just one way to get your chicken tender sub. If you can imagine it, Publix will do everything they can to make it. If they don't have an item at the sandwich counter, the staff will go into the store aisles and take it off the shelf if they have to. Within reason, obviously. They do this frequently for my blue cheese crumbles. Publix might be a little pricier than other stores in the area, but they are not out of line, especially for the level of service and quality they provide. It's not like Whole Foods or Bristol Farms prices by any stretch. And I feel like I don't have to dodge lazy people on their rascals as much as say, Winn-Dixie down Hwy 40. That place is a mess. Overall, I think Publix is the best grocery store in the country. I just wish we had them back home. read more

Publix - Buffalo chicken tender w/Provolone & blue cheese crumbles. Looks rough, but I guarantee it is delicious - Grocery Near Me - Ocala, Florida

It seemed a bit weird to rate a grocery store but seriously Publix offers a level of service you don't get except in few places anymore. every week that my wife and I go to Publix there is something that can make you smile if you let it. There is always a wonderful cashier and person who is doing a service for you in that store and it really makes you feel good when you leave. Our cashier yesterday was Kaylin R. She was so happy and so bubbly, it makes your day better. We have been shopping at our Publix for over 20 years now and I can't think of a single occasion where a cashier was mean rude or nasty or let something going on in their life affected what they were doing at work. We're all human and you can you could expect you'd have a story about someone being upset where they were but Pulix is one place where I could not think of one. So now after writing this it feels less weird that I wrote a review on a grocery store. Places like Publix lead you to compare everything else to them, because they are so great and you don't write a review because it's so awesome you kind of overlooked it. Publix offers Superior service products that could cause and bogos that draw you in the only downside is at one time in our pantry we had 12 jars of peanut butter if that's a downside, we ate it though. read more

Am loving the Publix brand. Nice, clean store, friendly staff. Our go to chain supermarket for fresh produce. We are from the west coast and are still surprised at how small the produce section is. My only negative for the chain, is the pre wrapped veggies. There are only two of us and we really don't need such a huge bunch of broccoli. Prices are pretty competitive. But this is a great store if your looking for that unusual item. read more

Employees are really friendly. I have been coming here for 10 years and only had one really bad incident. It was teenaged workers though. The store is always clean. They have a great verity. Harold is the best. When you walk in Publix he makes you feel good to be there. He is always helpful and cares about every single customer that walks in. He is one of the main reasons why I come to this Publix. read more

Ordered a tossed Buffalo and ranch chicken tender foot long toasted with cheese and lettuce. Got one foot long with nothing on it except bread, dry plain tenders and a couple pieces of lettuce. The second one was drown in 3 cups of sauce. Not impressed at all. read more

Again, this review is based on my view for Publix as a whole. I haven't ever experience any personal distaste towards this location. That being said, I have been to many Publix, and don't see what the fuss is about. Yes it looks appealing, yes it's clean, yes they carry your groceries for you, but they are by far the most costly that I have experienced here and NY. Their pre-made meals & deli section aren't very good. They lack allot of flavor & their sandwiches aren't "fresh". I don't want to pay $6-10 for a 3 day old sandwhich. You can easily spend $200+ without even bringing home much. read more

DANGER WARNING. I brought a pomegranate from the store least than 24 hours ago. The outside of the fruit looked fine and it was as firm as usual. When i opened it it was completely rotten and smelt like onions. I don't blame Publixs for this but, they have to throw out their pomegranates because more are probably like this. read more

Publix always has a good selection, clean stores and friendly service. This one is no different. I was on a Yalp tear and went here yesterday so why not review it. One thing I have noticed lately though is because Publix is discounting so often, three different times I have been signfiicantly overcharged when buying sale items. read more

Couple nights ago I witnessed about 5 publix employees diligently retrieving carts in the pouring down rain and drying them for the customers to use. I was there for 2 hours ringing the bell. They worked well together and nobody complained. They go above and beyond so that when customers come in from the pouring rain, they'll have a relatively dry cart. Kudos to the team @ 40 east. read more

Great Publix! Has really good white cake w/ cream cheese icing in the bakery.

First the staff is always friendly. I like how they are providing a better selection of uncured meats for purchase...but wish they would extend this to the deli and sub shop. The produce is almost always the same choices, and over the last year I have been finding they freeze (or come close to freezing) produce and bread...splurged on some awesome Hawaiian bread for holidays...and it was cold cold cold at the store....got home and it was fermented.. smelled like vodka ...and several times get produce that starts to rot the next day...so be sure to check carefully. But nice to get those bogo specials. read more

This Publix told me today that they had the mushroom soup. So I drove all the way across town instead of going to the one that I live across the street from. So I ordered my wrap and was going to get the soup but they were out. They proceeded to tell me they could have some ready in 30 minutes after I waiting 15 minutes for my wrap. I offered to purchase some so I went to the store manager and she said they did not have any to purchase. Someone in the store is lying. One person said they had it and then the manager said they didn't have any. This was my 4th of July dinner and I was very disappointed! They offered me can soup in return. Seriously. Not happy with this customer service at all! read more
