Five Star food and service! If you're in the area, THIS is where you go to get fried chicken! Their flavor profile is exceptional and I recommend getting the breaded chicken, but you have to get there in the morning, otherwise you'll be out of luck! They cook the wings to order and then put out what's left. We got there too late on Tuesday and got fryer pieces but they were still delicious. We went back Thursday morning and got a large bag of wings. They also have a fresh salad bar and it has everything that you could want. Publix is always one of our favorite places to shop as well as get some good Southern Fried Chicken. Check them out when you're in the Gulf Shores area! read more

Clean and organized grocery store with a nice selection of bakery, produce, and some organic items.

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 where Publix opens a location are very grateful for a Publix opening by them. This location is in Orange Beach, Alabama. It is a good location and the overall ambiance is a pleasant one to do some food shopping. I would definitely recommend this particular Publix location or any Publix location for that matter and I give it five stars. read more

Publix is a nice store clean and friendly customer service I went there to purchase fresh seafood for a cookout and almost fell over when I saw the prices Went to Rouses and the prices were much lower read more

Best sub in the world imo. I don't have publix where I live now but I did growing up. When I was in Orange Beach a few months ago I had Publix subs for lunch 5 days in a row, I couldn't help myself. read more

This is the greatest PUBLIX!!!! It's a small "beachy style" beach side super cool super clean Publix. My favorite location! Everyone is in swimsuits and cover ups, it's very laid back. The deli is very good and usually has a line. The chicken sammys are very good and the chicken wings are always sold out! We love the spicy ones. We usually take a family pack to the beach. We also love the champagne and rose in the cans lol. Great stop when going to the key, White Island or the cove. Will return and often! XOXO read more

Great customer service! If you purchase a pool floaty they blow it up for you if you ask! Great selection of beach products, lotions, aloe, even clothing. Clean and organized store. Attentive and helpful employees. read more

Publix is more the "high end" shopping place in Orange Beach. I do love Publix for prepared meals and specialty items. It is not for every day shopping, and it is always more expensive than everywhere else. During our trip to Orange Beach, there was a birthday. The birthday guy wanted tiramisu as his cake..... We took a shot and ran into Publix, and there you go, there were several delicious tiramisu cakes in the display. Perfect. It was absolutely delicious too! The store is laid out pretty well, and everything seemed to be in good shape. I only went to the bakery and the self-check out, but that was a good enough experience for me! read more

We are from Indiana and have been coming to Orange Beach area for over 25 years. When we first checked out Publix we were excited. A clean store with friendly people and they actually had people to check you out! We always visit the deli and get sandwich ingredients such as ham or chicken or turkey and a special cheese. We then have sandwiches in our condo every day to save a little money. The last few times however I have noticed that the scales have not been cleaned. My wife had her certification in the healthy handling of food and she explained how they should keep things clean and not use the same scale for certain foods. I think the people in the deli should be taught to always keep the scales clean and to make sure they handle the food properly. I couldn't eat any of the food we purchased. I kept thinking about how the scales looked where my food was put. Sorry but this should be a huge priority because it is such a nice grocery store. read more

got this cake and from really being able to see the whole cake thought it was fine when we took out of the box to set up a table this is what we got. i called them and was told it was not there problem once it left the store. as the day went by cake kept getting more lopsided. what a shame very disappointed! made it worse when they told that it was not there problem!!! read more

Publix Super Market - Publix - Grocery Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

After a disappointing meal at a local restaurant we went to get water for our stay. We walked past the deli & the fried chicken was piled high. Bought 6 pieces. Ate a couple later that night but it was still delicious the next day driving! Wish we had this store in the DFW area! read more

Between amazing weather, beautiful beaches, and the Gulf of Mexico I believe Publix would be in my top five reasons to relocate from the Midwest to the south when I retire in the next few years. I LOVE PUBLIX. The customer service. The friendliness of the staff. The bright and cleanliness of the stores draw me in. I was first introduced to Publix in Gainesville Florida, which is where my daughter and grandchildren live and that is where I learned about Publix, learned some of their products and learned their bakery. A week long vacation in Gulf Shores Alabama brought me and my husband to this location and once the decision was made by my extended family to come here for vacation I called the deli and made an order for a 3lb Boars Head Cranstational chicken salad and to the bakery for the apple and cherry flips and they did not disappoint. The welcoming greeting that I received when I went to the deli when I went to the bakery to pick up my orders, just made me feel good made me feel special and once my family tried the items that I ordered from Publix I had to order two more rounds of the chicken salad, and every other day trips to Publix for more apple flips (the Apple was our favorite over the cherry). As we waited for the deli clerk to get our order, we were approached by the store or department manager (did not get his name) asking if we needed assistance and if we where we being helped. Simply amazing as so many times you can go to a business and stand around and look for assistance and cannot find it but Publix brings the assistance to you. They are encouraged to ask if you need anything, if you need help or if you're looking for something and it's almost shocking when it happens and yet so refreshing to have associates take interest in their customers. Obviously, with so many trips to the store, we encountered several checkers, all of whom were always super friendly. Front end associate Aimme and Bakery associate Julie were amazing and seemed to be happy to see us whenever we went in as they remembered us and even had restaurant suggestions when we inquired about places to go. I did not make note of the older gentleman in the deli, but he, too, was amazing. One particular day, as we were walking to our car from Publix we saw the same manager, who offered us assistance inside the store, getting carts from the parking lot, and we were simply blown away by such hands on teamwork from the Publix staff. ALL THE STAFF!!!! As with any workplace, I am sure there are troubles and some workers and some people are always going to be unhappy and find things to complain about but I would like to take this moment to let Publix know that they were a part of my vacation and no matter how they may feel on a day-to-day when going to work the service that they offered truly made an impression And memories for my husband and I while in gulf Shores, Alabama. read more

I had to kill time while we waited for our food and go to the restroom so we stopped by my favorite store. The store is amazing and just gives you the beach feel. It was so nice and since I work for Shipt I love Publix! The store was clean and the bathroom was clean as well but it's Publix after all. My favorite was the aisle that had the beach stuff. It was so nice and super cool. Yes I like stuff like that. Overall if I had to do Shipt at this store, I'll enjoy it here. read more

See all

Seems to be a larger Publix, many surrounding stores. Plenty of parking as well. Near the beach

Pharmacy gets 1 star. They are slow, rang up my insurance card incorrectly and had to manually process it (???), there was long wait. It seemed like the drive through and other people got service first. I chose three items from Publix grocery and if I wanted it rung up separately from my Rx I had to go wait in the grocery line. After all that waiting for the Rx, you'd think they would just do it. The Publix grocery part is well stocked and busy. The cashier was fast. read more

Ordered Pub Subs online. Pickup went smooth. Subs were fantastic and no corners cut making them. Could only eat half of the entire thing at one time. read more

Good selection. Quick checkout and courteous staff. Has some beach supplies as well. Butcher despite working solo took time to trim and tie a beef tenderloin for us read more

So my husband and I were craving dessert and decided to stop at Publix. Their pies looked delicious, and we enjoyed one of their apple pies. It definitely satisfied our craving and surpassed our expectations!  Their pies don't look like nor taste like the grocery store pies that I'm used to back home.  In addition, they have amazing customer service.  While there we overhead a customer asking for help from "Joseph".  It was clearly not his department, but determined to help, he called his wife on his cell who sounds like she also works there.  Then this friendly and personable gentleman took the lady to the right item.  Talk about going above and beyond!  Service like Joseph's is what makes a business stand out from the others.   Great store and excellent customer service! read more

OK so besides being a great grocery store in itself if you haven't been to the deli and get in the sandwich you were missing out! Some of the best sandwiches to be had anywhere on the coast for sure. Everyone is super friendly and even during crazy construction and Covid and everything else that's been going on the last year I've always been helped and been able to find everything that I needed. Beer selection is great as well and always has local products read more

Vacationing in Gulf Shores we needed a few items and made a stop at the Publix Super Market. The store was very clean and well organized. We quickly found the items we needed. The produce section was really nice. We were able to quickly check out and be on our way. We would stop in this Publix Super Market on a return trip. read more

Worst customer service of all stores. Employees are not friendly, employees really seem to not want to help you. This is not a friendly store, and I have told management more than once about the level of service in this store. I can go to Walmart and get the the same level of service....but pay a lot cheaper prices!! read more

Just want to give a shout out to the bakery at Publix! We were here on vacation and needed a cake for an engagement party. The cake was perfect!! I asked for all neutral/ivory colors and it could not have been better! read more

Publix sushi is unmatched! From the 7 eleven to the finest Japanese establishments I've had it all and Publix sushi trumps it all. Nothing beats the freshness of it either, it taste like the fish was living it's best life hours before. #makepublixsushigreatagain read more

Super nice grocery store. We went in on the week of July 4 holiday. Staff was great. Plenty of variety . Downside was nothing to do with store itself. Just a bunch of rude tourists from out of town. Tbey had no manners whatsoever. Never seen so many rude people in one place. Bummer. read more

I have not shopped here in 11 months. We were in OB last year for a reunion. I love the Store and have thought about it several times over the last year. When we booked another trip this June one of the first things I thought about was how great the Store is and how much I appreciated how they do not mark up pricing even though they are in a tourist area and could probably get away with it. The service was great and the products were top shelf. I love the Deli counter and the samples. I actually think I could have gotten full off the samples. They will get all of my Business again this June. Keep up the good work!!!! read more

Love Publix! Just hate that we don't have one in my hometown of Jackson, MS! Great prices, produce and pre-cooked meals!

Nice and clean store. High prices and selection were weak. . . . . Nice and clean store. High prices and selection were weak Sorry read more

First time stopping at a Publix, while vacationing n gulf shores we decided to do our weekly shopping, this store it's nice and clean inside, they have a variety of groceries and produce also beach essentials, you can basically find anything there - 5 stars. BUT the service is bad - 0 stars! One lady at the deli and bakery was nice, the other staff were not helpful and came off rude. Cashier Kaitlyn and bag boy Shawn were making fun of customers. So NOT OK! Next time going to Winn Dixie read more

My friends and I came to this Publix next to our air b&b to get groceries. The experience wasn't AWFUL or anything- a little pricey on some items but it's to be expected in a tourist town. The layout was a little odd but that wasn't too much of a problem. The main issue came into fruition when we were checking out. My friend went to go find a drink and gave me her card to pay. However when she got back after we paid we realized we had used the wrong card. We went to customer service to try and resolve the issue. However they said ALL THEY COULD DO was refund the money on a Publix gift card. We explained that we don't have Publix in texas so it wouldn't help. They said they couldn't help us..... even tho they definitely could've. tbh if my mom had been there we would've had our refund.... fvck publix read more

A friend and I went to this Publix while we were in town for a bachelor trip. The Publix has very friendly and helpful staff and made sure that we had a nice shopping experience. I was blown away at how extensive the beverage aisles were as they were full length and had tons of options to help make our time at the beach better. Would definitely recommend this store for that option alone! read more

I cannot believe they havre the nerve to charge the prices at this store in orange beach al. Absolutely highway robbery!!

After 3 years living in Orange beach, the customer service desk has never followed through with an order or restock. I give up. High prices. Walmart is adding more organic things and much cheaper sorry to say. Wish the bakery would bake bread like the French, with no preservatives. Over $4 for one red bell pepper , most produce comes from Mexico or Central America, overpriced, where their citizens are in chaos, and struggle for a living wage. Not enough local produce from our own farmers read more

I can't tell you what restaurant scene is like in Gulf Shores because I never make it pass Publix. Man. This place is pretty amazing. A once stop shop before you head out to the water. Of course because it's located on the strip right across from the beach it has all of the essentials that you may have left at home...(sunscreen, swim shoes, towels, boogie boards etc etc). And they may be a tad bit expensive. But I assume you're paying for convenience. It comes in handy. This four star review is for the food mainly. Yes deli food! So we basically starve ourselves on the drive over because we know the deli counter is going to have everything we need. Buckets of fried chicken, slow roasted pulled pork (my fav!), fresh pasta salad, sandwiches, a pickled olive bar, and the bakery has tons of sweet goodies. We basically load up on food and drinks, pack em up and head to the beach for some fun in the sun. Publix is where it's at! read more

A real grocery store! After many many years of gingerly making my way through a dirty and questionable Winn-Dixie, Orange Beach finally got a real grocery store! Not only is the store laid out perfectly, it's well-lit, smells clean, and has extremely friendly and helpful staff. The produce is fresh and the bakery department is divine. I love that they have a lot of pre-chopped fruits and veggies. They also have a great selection of organic and all natural products mixed in with the regular fare. I always find exactly what I need and they seem to have all the current products that are available. read more

Four stars for having a Pubix in Orange beach! Hit or miss prepared food items. The chunky white chicken salad is very good, the regular is ok. The red potato salad delish. The mac and cheese and green bean casserole were both terribly bland. The fried chicken is exceptional. Produce was fresh and has a great variety. Meat and seafood section looks good. Wide isles and plenty of specialty items. The produce was fresh. Huge section of convenience/drugstore/souvenir/beach items as well. There is a Winn-Dixie up the street that I'm sure is a little less expensive, but this place is a little nicer, a little more upscale than a WD. I guess it depends on what kind of store you wanna shop in. read more

A really nice Publix near our hotel for a recent stay at the beach. One way our family saves money on vacation is to eat the free breakfast at the hotel, have a nice late lunch of wonderful Gulf seafood at one of the great local restaurants, and then grab supper at a deli or grocery store and eat in at the hotel with our shoes off. (Exciting, huh?). This Publix had a very nice deli which fit the bill exactly. (The Publix chicken salad on the croissant in the deli is really very good.). It is what you would expect at a Publix: clean, well stocked, nice staff. Five stars. read more

Black and white cookies in the bakery - outstanding. Such a great surprise. Had to wait longer than I wanted for employee to acknowledge me - over 8 minutes! And she took the person behind me in line because she was more impatient than I. But - the grocery store overall was plentiful and organized. Those black and white cookies were worth the wait read more
