I believe this location will become my new spot to shop after work. It's on the way home and full of new items I cannot get at the one by my home. The staff are friendly and helpful like always when I am in a publix. It is busy though since it is a new plaza next to new apartments and major gas stations. read more

Nothing beats a Publix sandwich!!!! Made with fresh ingredients, soft bread, and generous fillings always flavorful and satisfying. Perfect quick meal that never disappoints read more

I stop at this Publix every now and then when heading home from this side of town. The staff are friendly and the store is immaculate and clean. Although it's not as cheap as Aldi or Walmart, I do prefer the service and quality of items sold here over other grocers in the area. We stopped in the other night after seeing a few bands at the Post Time Lounge to pick up some items for dinner. My wife and I had been talking about having catfish for dinner for the last 2 weeks so we finally stopped in to pick some up. We also picked up several other items to make a nice big salad. The catfish was $7.99 a pound, and we got three bags of salad mix for $6 which isn't bad at all. The fish was very fresh and made a hearty meal. All in all I've always had good experiences here and would return again if I'm in the area. read more

I've been shopping at Publix for years. But this location, needs some work. For starters the staff doesn't greet you when they see you. The sub station is always swamped and not staffed correctly to accommodate the amount of traffic they have. They never have the original popcorn chicken available. You have to ask. And don't always get a friendly response. When you write into customer service, you get a PC carbon copy response apologizing and will talk to staff and it never changes. This is an on going issue. Not the standard Publix experience. The only reason I gave 2 stars; the cashiers are friendly and location is convenient. And 1 friendly stockmen and a nice product lady. read more

New Publix by Sanford. This Publix says everything you need. It even has fish bait! It also had upstairs seating for eating your lunch. Nice deli area. Bakery and. 30 foot beer cooler! 40 feet of wine. Also has a attached liquor store. Prices here seem high. But I know people come for the buy one get one free deals. Most of those are always boxed items. Beer chips mayonnaise etc... Everyone here was nice and friendly. Very Slow for a Saturday afternoon. I will come here for the deals. The cashier said they will build a Wawa next door and a dunkin' donut. read more

Ohh a brand new Publix has arrived and it is beautiful. Publix has stepped up their game with the design of their new stores or renovations. This Publix has the second floor seating area with indoor and outdoor seating. There's wi-fi and comfortable tables to work remote from there if you'd like or to enjoy a Pub sub during lunch. This store is big and has the new layout with the sub station island towards the right side. Opening day was great and I loved being welcomed to the store with the greeting "welcome to your Publix". This is key in making feel the customer welcome and special and part of why Publix provides an amazing customer experience. read more

What is going on with the sushi bar employee? Went in to try their ramen bar, then I get told they are closed by a lady. The next natural question from me is to ask what times are they open and then she prefaces oh we are closing early because we don't have a lot of customers, but if I'm there, I'm a customer, so shouldn't you stick to your times??? She states they're open from 11 am to 5 pm, and it was around 4:20 pm. Then also seemed to pretend like there was a language barrier as I had to repeat myself several times to get the answer. What a joke, this does not represent who Publix is. I've never in my life experienced anything like this at a Publix. I won't be back and will be sure to spread the word. read more

Publix - Review was posted on Google reviews and was deleted so be aware they are weeding out bad reviews too it seems. - Grocery Near Me - Sanford, Florida

If you order a philly sub without mushrooms, you'll always end up with some mushrooms in the sub. Idk why, but it's wild that they can't read the ticket and prepare a sub via directions. Also... The place stinks. Honestly. No. Literally. It needs a good scrubbing. For example, the carts are usually all over the back parking lot, so when you go inside to get a cart from the cart area you have to walk all the way back into the little space. It literally stinks back there. I don't think it's been cleaned in years. And then you see a bunch of spots and stains on the floor. And then your sliced deli meats go rancid fast bc they don't clean the blades well enough. Idk who the GM is there, but something is wrong. GM, are you ok? Publix corporate needs to stop by for an inspection bc your store is pretty nasty. Like, this is the dingiest Publix I've ever smelled in my life. Next time I go I'll take some photos for this review and update. read more

No other opening has mattered in Sanford for the last few months. And, wow, the new Publix did NOT disappoint. Lots of parking available (including a drive thru pharmacy space) and the grounds are SPOTLESS. I was immediately greeted and just walked around like a freaking tourist with my mouth open. This Publix is gorgeous and I love how the deli is smack dab to your right upon entry. The bakery here is at the BACK of the store, which surprised me but I love the lay-out choices here. Also plenty of Self-Checkouts available. But the second floor dining area is SUPERB - genius concept. I am absolutely coming back to grab some fried chicken and head upstairs to enjoy it. Heck, I might just bring my laptop too because this is a wifi hotspot. You can even sit and eat outside and note all the planes taking off at nearby Sanford International. No question about it - this is the nicest Publix in Seminole County...maybe in ALL the counties. read more

I was so excited to finally get a Publix in this area- the closest one prior being in Heathrow or lake forest. This Publix definitely misses the mark. I want to give them grace because they're new and with that comes expected growing pains but I cannot look over the lack of growth and cleanliness. First issue is the sad excuse for the deli. The subs are definitely lacking. I got a flatbread sandwich and it was definitely not up to Publix standards. The in store deli- Not sure who designed this atrocity but it is NOT functional. The lines for the deli spill into the walkway/aisles. They don't follow the ticket tab system so You have to flag down a deli worker because they're usually backed up making subs. And when they do finally take your order they're disengaged and usually have sidebar conversations- slowing things up even more. I figured I'd order ahead online and pick up-even that can't be done correctly because they packaged the wrong item than what I ordered and I ended up paying more- having no patience to wait in the never ending line I just sucked it up and paid for the incorrect item. Now, the last straw and reason for my one star review- in my incorrect cheese order I found a foul, disgusting, dirty - pinky nail. this was just repulsive. I'll just make the 20 min drive to a clean and organized Publix. read more

It's alright but it is new and every time we come up to Orlando we always go to this one because we take the back roads 429 and 417 I mean pretty surprising but it's just like a normal Publix read more

Possibly the dumbest design of a sub / Deli counter ever, nobody knows what is going on, wait times are crazy, always out of things needed on the line, workers saying how bad it is just shows how bad it is. read more

All I can say is FINALLY!! I think I speak for everyone when I say that a new Publix in Sanford was long overdue! I visited Publix today for the grand opening and this new location is exactly what the area needed! The staff was extremely friendly and the store was absolutely pristine. The aisles were fully stocked and the store overall had a pretty sleek look. Now we all know that every Publix has its highlights and this store was no exception. Standout features include self check out, a drive through pharmacy, a self serve donut/baked goods case, and a hot bakery case filled with other treats such as empanadas. While all of these features are great, the biggest standout to me is the upstairs dining area. That's right, now you can grab your favorite Pub Sub and enjoy it comfortably in the new seating area! I think I speak for everyone near historic downtown Sanford when I say, welcome Publix, we're so happy you're here! read more

Bad chicken, was excited when they opened a few months ago. Have gotten their fried chicken several times. Only once would I consider it good. One time I suspect I got food poisoning from it and several other times it has been very hard to eat. All dried out . Got it one more time, big mistake. Will never get it again. And no I didn't talk to anyone, there's no point. They'll tell you to your face how sorry they are , might offer replacement but it will continue to happen. read more

Beautiful store but I was very disappointed in how small the bakery is. It is like it was an afterthought. Also, very disappointed in the sub section. Placed an order the night before and none of the instructions were followed. Furthermore, they need to have another store come in and show them how to properly make a pub sub. Very skimpy on their toppings. read more

Deli super slow. They keep none of the meats in case they always have to walk to back which seems to take them forever. So be prepared to wait 30 min to get fresh deli meats read more
