Publix...where shopping is a pleasure. Not quite. I'm giving this location 3 stars, because it is clean, organized and the other employees I encountered were very pleasant and nice. But I stopped in just to order a quick sub, I noticed there were zero carts available for anyone which was odd. I feel bad for people who were going in to actually grocery shop, they would have needed to do it with only a basket. So taking a star off for that. The older lady at the sub counter looked over it. There was nobody in line, so it wasn't like it was busy. I asked for a jerk turkey sub. She likes ok but what kind of bread do you want? I proceeded to say white. She then said half or whole? I'll do half. I told her mayo on both sides, she looked annoyed. She asked what cheese, I said Gouda, she then looked annoyed again even though Gouda is what the sandwich comes with. I added some other toppings and then said bacon. She was like "you want bacon?? I said yes, ma'am. She proceeds to get the bacon out of the drawer and sticks in the oven for not even 10 seconds, so the bacon is flimsy and fatty not crispy at all. (Bacon comes on this sandwich so I'm not sure why it was such a bother.) she wraps it and hands it to me, without even asking if I wanted anything else on it. I said thank you and took the sandwich but walked away confused like why was this lady so bothered. No "you're welcome, or have a nice day" nothing. All in all, taking another star off because she is the wrong person to be customer facing because she's not pleasant at all. She should be in the back somewhere. Also-there is a very elderly lady in the parking lot gathering the carts. I feel like she should be working indoors in the AC and maybe have someone younger in the heat outside for liability purposes...and because it's the right thing to do. Would not come back to this location especially since there's another Publix across the street that has plenty of carts and friendly deli people. read more

Publix - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place is just amazing! The staff actually seems to enjoy their jobs and being at work, instead of the opposite they I've experienced at other locations. Management takes pride in the community and it is clear that the staff respects them and emulates their beliefs. I will 100% drive the extra 10 minutes to go shop at this location over the 2 that are closer. read more

I don't know if anybody knows but Publix does beautiful wedding cakes. My sister's getting married so I came to place a cake order and I got to meet Melissa. I just had to come talk about her because she is too funny and definitely cool af. She has such a good spirit and the kind heart. And these cakes that are sitting here are so pretty and they're the ones that you can just come and buy and take gorgeous read more

Very disappointed. This is the second time my mom has bought meat from Publix that was spoiled. As soon as we opened the package, it had a terrible smell that made the whole kitchen stink. We've always trusted Publix for quality, but this keeps happening and it's really disappointing. Please check your products better before putting them out for sale customers shouldn't have to deal with this twice. For reference we bought it last night, November 1st, and it says "sell by November 12." We were planning on using it today which is November 2nd. read more

This location is a solid representative for the franchise. We stopped in during our Orlando stay; primarily for their well-made, tasty soups and/or other deli options. We also took advantage of bogo sales on Snapple and Pepperidge Farm cookies; along with some general items for in-room meals at our resort. The facility is clean and well-maintained; and the staff were friendly & accommodating. read more

First time at this location. Very clean and organized. The employees seemed friendly and where helpful when asking for an item. I would say this is a good location and closest to international dr. read more

KUDOS and thank you very much to Hannah in the bakery department for providing supreme quality guest service! She delivered service with a smile as she handed me the biggest apple fritters I've ever seen! I will enjoy it immensely! People like Hannah makes it a joy to go to Publix! read more

Love this Publix. Manager is doing amazing job here ! Always a pleasure to come, products fresh, employees are smiling , willing to help if you need help. I live across the street from Publix on Daryl Carter , that has been opened a couple of months ago. Please send someone over to Daryl location to teach the staff how to do their job. They are doing pretty bad. Customer service is very poor. Food spoiled, can food with expired date on that. They really need help ! Even having a brand new Publix across the street from my house, I have to drive back to you guys because you are doing a greater job on your location! read more

Everything was fresh, not too friendly in there. The employees does didn't seem to care. It was clean in there though.

I got these delicious lobster claws for only $10! It was definitely filling and flavorful! Go get yourself some! read more

Publix - a person holding a hot dog in a container - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great place to grab a hoagie! I love their sandwiches, and at this particular location be sure to have Diane make it. She is the best. They have great quality of meats from Boars Head and the bread is fresh! My fave is the "Italian" hoagie. Be sure to grab a fountain drink and chips for the meal. Also, this place sells tons of groceries but all I care about is hoagies. read more

Definitely not like all the other Publix I went to... I believe that they are number one in customer service nationally if I'm correct however customer service says probably not a priority in the store no one acknowledged as you I stood there at the sandwich counter three people behind the counter no one and knowledge me they were too busy in their own little world even say hello I go to the checkout I have to greet her because I guess she just didn't feel like greeting me hopefully things will get better I plan on frequent been here quite often so we shall see read more

This is for the Avalon Publix and the new Publix on Alafaya Woods. Both are great stores and the manager Alomy (was at Avalon, now at Oviedo/Alafaya Woods) is really terrific! She's always nice, friendly & takes the time to have a short convo with me & other customers. I do my usual shopping in Avalon but when in the area, will be stopping at the Alafays Woods store for sure. read more

Always my favorite Publix to shop at. I feel it has more to offer in both deli and bakery than most Publix is in my area. I always feel I can find everything that I need here and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. It's a plus that they also have the cooking school that my husband and I often go to to learn new skills as well as enjoy a date night together. I feel our favorite go to is there larger wine selection alongside their large cheese selection which makes for a nice wine down at home. read more

Great store and pharmacy. Nice selection of items and and the employees were friendly and helpful. Shop here!

We've been going to this Publix for over 20 years even though there are 2 locations closer to where we live. The selection has always been the best and most products are well-stocked. The customer service used to be good, too. However, there is one employee in customer service who is very unpleasant. At this store, the customer is not right if you bring up any issues (such as telling her there are expired products on the shelf or if the baggers mix up customers' groceries repeatedly). We're going to change to another location where the customer service is friendly and helpful. read more

Honestly of the worst Publix I've been to. Their deli is slow, inefficient, and inaccurate to say the least. And this has been the regular experience for at least the past 6 months. I have also never had an order that I didn't have to wait 25 extra minutes for, that tasted great, and was made correctly. It doesn't taken 13min to make a single sub. And yes...I timed it. This is my last trip to this Publix, I can't afford to get in trouble for taking exorbitant lunch breaks. read more

Simply the best Publix in the area, which says a lot, since there's like four. You'll also notice this is the cleanest of all the grocery stores in the area. The customer base also has that minimum level of human decency that results in them returning shopping carts. In my opinion, if you ever arrive at a grocery store & find the amount of abandoned shopping carts exceeds roughly 25% of the cars present, I'd look elsewhere. That level of decay is like brain worms & will have long ago infected the workers of the store. read more

This is a very nice Publix. Its in the Dr. Phillip's area after all! So, its well maintained, the layout is excellent and the selection is fantastic. Its also what I call a "neighborhood" Publix as opposed to some Publix stores that cater more to tourists. So, its good here. (They still have a few tourist items but nothing like other Publix stores in the area.) When you first walk in, you will see TONS of Greenwise products to your right. They have a whole section dedicated to this product line. At other Publix stores, you are usually shopping the aisles for these items mixed in with others. So, that is a bonus for this particular store. Just to the left of the Greenwise area, there is flower section ... and its has a great selection. There is usually someone there to help you as well if you want an arrangement, etc. This is something you don't see at many other Publix stores either. You will usually find a large cold case of pre-arranged flowers or buckets with a few flower selections at "less sophisticated" stores. Ooooh la la! Because this is a nicer Publix store, you will also find that the layout of the store is well thought out, the selection of products is expansive (ice cream, eggs, deli selections, meat, bakery items, etc.), the employees are really friendly and the place is clean. They even have a really nice wine section ... gulp, gulp! As far as it goes in the world of Publix stores, this one has it going on. As for the four stars instead of five? ... well, that is because in my experience with this store, they don't have enough check out folks available and lines will build up. I was just there a couple of days ago and they one had two lines open, one of those was only for 10 items or less. There was a huge line of people with full baskets. It took a while for anyone to notice before they opened another check out line. Saying that, I experience this at other Publix stores in the area ... so, hopefully they will hire a few more people. That's a good thing when you have that much business! read more

Sentimental moment Yelp: As a little girl I would come to this Publix (early 2000's) and I always recall the woman in the bakery being so sweet... my sister and I would go get our cookie it was the highlight of our shopping trip, when we would go to the checkout line there was one bagger an older guy I wish I knew his name that was always so pleasant made conversation with us and always asked if my mom needed help going to the car. Publix made an impression that lasted with me now that I am in my twenties. I now make it a point to shop at Publix. Lived in Orlando again in 2012 and shopped at this location, it has always been a great experience. Even now when I visit in town I usually stop here for some random need. 5+ stars to this Publix location. Thanks for always being a place you make me want to go. read more

I've been coming to this Publix since it first opened and even remember its construction. There are three Publix locations within a half mile to my house, so I generally stick with the closest of the three, but this one is still very nice. The staff is always friendly and always a pleasure shopping at any of the Publix locations. read more

Best Publix I've been to! Had to come here for medicine for my daughter (which by the way was free because it was antibiotics...didn't know Publix offered that service!) and since I had to wait I decided to walk around and grab some stuff. Staff was nice everywhere I went...the pharmacy, in the isles, the deli and the cashier. They all seemed cheerful and were helpful. My daughter was a bit cranky at check out and the cashier asked someone in customer service to bring her a balloon (nobody at any store has done that before, ever). I thought it was such a nice gesture. It made her smile so I was a happy momma! read more

Publix is by far my favorite grocery store, so I'l keep this brief... I usually go to this location early on weekday mornings after the gym, and it's relatively empty but I still get good help if I need help finding something. Pros: --Huge produce/bakery area --Best wine selection of any Publix (besides maybe the one on Apopka-Vineland & Conroy) read more

Publix - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We have been regular customers of this Publix store since it opened. We love this store and the great selection of fresh produce and delicious bakery items they have to offer. My hubby and kids will tell you Publix Subs are the best in the world! I don't eat subs, so we can take their word for it. This store is always clean, well-stocked and the employees are friendly, and ready to help in any way possible. We like that this store and chain is a community leader in serving those in need. Throughout the year, Publix has many charitable campaigns to raise money for organizations that help people that need help, such as their 'bags of thanksgiving' which they donate to families in need during the holidays. That's just one of MANY things Publix does to give back to the community, but there are many, many more. I know for a FACT, Publix donates literally TONS of fresh meat, fish, chicken and pork to Second Harvest Food Bank. I am a volunteer at Second Harvest and I am there when the Publix donations arrive. We sort the donations and get it ready to give to agencies Second Harvest serves. It's a LOT of food and all of it looks delicious! It's that sort of care for the 'greater good' that will keep us customers of Publix for life! Well, that and the great service and products!!!! read more

Publix - O wow how Gross ekkk there's A Hair in The bread Ewww that's nasty - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Publix is an outstanding supermarket chain and this particular Publix is the most outstanding of them all. Immaculately clean, well stocked and full of friendly employees. Rarely does a shopper have to wait for more than one person at the checkout counters. I shop at this Publix several times per week and I am always amazed by the quality of the experience! read more

My experience at this Publix was one to remember forever Today was my birthday,and I was feeling for some wings And I got some other things for the perfect dinner The Cashier asked about my favorite subject in school (cause I'm in 6th Grade) and the conversation ended on amazing terms It was a night to remember. If that man is reading this I want to say thank you for making my birthday experience amazing and I wish you grand fortune and prosperity for the rest of your life read more

One of the best things about Publix are the subs. The PubSubs. I have experienced a variety of PubSubs and I love sharing their deliciousness with out-of-towners who don't have Publix in their area. I brought some friends from NY while we were visiting Universal. Quick dinner after the parks. I have witness many a PubSub be made. And I must admit, this evening I witnessed the most disappointing and half-asses sandwich making in all my years on this Publix-blessed earth. She half-heartedly tossed my lettuce onto my sandwich, lackadaisically strew the rest of my topping on there, put no effort into folding the sandwich. When I opened it back in my room, all of the contents spilled out. I have never been more saddened and disappointed in my life. I will continue to eat PubSubs, but never again will I get one made from this particular Publix. read more

Vacationer who has only been in a handful of these stores. This location-Easy to find. Easy to navigate. Found everything I needed. Cashier was great and so sweet. They don't use "store cards", but you can grab the store circular on your way in to get coupons for specials. read more

The prices here are unbelievable! Not in a good way. Can you say 7.98 per pound for chicken breast. Where I come from that only sells for 4 a pound if it is free range, coddled, washed every day and fed caviar, then it is given an Ambien and made comfortable before whack! Then on your grocer shelf. Store is called Publix but guess not meant for the public in general. read more

This Publix is very rude and unprofessional ! I have never ever got treated the way this Publix on Sandlake treated me . I tried to make a birthday cake with them , it took three days for me to get someone on the phone waiting for a callback from a cake decorator , that never called I still have to call . Until I finally got a manager on the phone which was very hard to do so and they told me lies that the cake was going to be made in the day I was supposed to pick it up , then called and said they never made it and can't make it , the day of my husbands birthday, and she argued with me and hung up on me !!! Really ! They are not normal at this place !!! I'm disgusted the way they treat their customers read more

I'm a Floridian, so I know if I go to Publix and be polite and kind the same energy will be given in return...not at this location. I just wanted to grab two subs for dinner and Kiara at the Deli did not seem happy about it. It's 8:45pm so I know it will not be fully stocked so I know to be patient, yet even being kind and patient lead to me feeling like I was a thorn in this woman's side. The moment I walked up she mentioned they were out of white bread. That was not a issue at all, I wanted wheat bread for both subs and said such...she grabbed a different bread, so I kindly mention I wanted wheat, that seemed to upset her. Then asked for turkey and a Italian. The Italian meats were not fully prepped at that time so I am willing to wait. When she comes back I begin to describe my subs. I tried to start with one at a time but she wanted to jump back and forth between them both. I have one sub directions messaged to me so it would be a lot easier to just do one at a time so I politely explain that and that also seemed to bother her. I luckily get through my personal sandwich order and for the second I ask if they have sliced avocado. Her reply is I have to go get it from the produce section. So I do and hand it to her and she says "so what you want me to do with this?" I asked if she could put sliced avocado on the sub, and if that was something they did not do then it was ok and I would gladly do so personally later on. This again seemed to irritate her, so I just kept my smile and tossed kept my manners while this person just made me feel like me asking her to make me a sub was hellish for her. I don't know if it was a bad day or if my presence just upset this women but I felt like I was legit ruining her whole day. It was a very clean Publix though. read more

Lets start with the service... I was promptly greeted by more than three employees upon entry. The employees in this store walk you to the location of an item when you ask for assistance. They don't just direct you to an aisle, they walk with you! If I lived her, this would be my store of choice. Grocery stores across America could learn from this store. The pricing and selection was ok, and the experience was elite due to the high-end level of service. read more

I love this Dr. Philips Publix! It's near where I work - but not anywhere near my house - so I don't do my main grocery shopping there. But the feature they have that makes it so great is the "Publix Deli Cafe". Basically, it's just a seating area right next to the deli where you can dine on your delicious Publix sub. I'm a huge fan of the Publix sub... but it often loses some of its appeal if I have to take it in the car and drive 10+ minutes away before I can eat it. The sub tastes best when it's as fresh as possible... and that means eating it right after it's made for you. And you can do that at the "Deli Cafe". It's a simple concept really... but it makes a huge difference and now that I know this option exists... I will be eating there more often. And the subs themselves are also better at this Publix. The pickle slices are the fresh, crisp kind... not the yellow, soggy, "I've been sitting forever in this dill brine" kind. And they offer fresh cucumber pieces with their subs - an option I've never seen at any other Publix. It makes the whole sub taste fresher. read more

It's a Publix and it's a good one. Nice and clean with friendly employees galore.... I love me some Publix!!

The best of all!! Luv Dr. Phillips Publix! I go there few times a week. -Pros: -Best wine selection in comparison with other Publix locations -Samples every other day... and they are yummy too! -Produce area is super clean and appetizing -The Publix Deli Cafe is relax, clean, and the their subs are really good. -The staff and the people are always really friendly! read more
