I drive through Deland quite often, and right past Gaffs, but have never stopped until just…read morerecently. I don't know if it's the hectic traffic or because I am heading south and the entrance is on the opposite side of the road; regardless, what I can tell you is that I have been missing out because Gaff's is freaking awesome! First of all, the shop is kept in immaculate order and very clean. There is adequate space in between isles allowing ample room for customers to shop. The staff are friendly and are quick to assist when needed; however, if you're here to purchase meats or deli items, be sure to take a number at the door. Gaffs has an extensive selection of butchered meats to choose from such as: - Pork Products: sausage, bratwurst, port tenderloin, pork country ribs, pork roasts, stuffed pork chops, baby back ribs, ground pork, and ground sausage. - Beef Products: Porterhouse, T-bones, New York strip, Tenderloin, Ribeye, Ribs, ground beef, brisket, Roasts, flat iron steak, sirloin, cube steak, flank steak, London broil, chuck eye steak, stew cut beef. - Poultry Products: whole chicken, quartered chicken pieces, multiple pieces wings/thighs by the pound, stuffed chicken breasts, marinated chicken, whole duck, duck breasts, quail, Cornish game hen, and turkey. - Seafood: a variety of salmon, yellowfin tuna, flounder, red drum, red snapper, cod, scallops, a variety of shrimp with and without the shell, clams, oysters, king crab legs, and a decent selection of frozen seafood items. Honestly, the list goes on and on. Gaffs has everything! They have fresh sliced deli meats, fresh vegetables, ready to cook stuffed mushrooms, homemade pot pies and pies, pizzas, soups, dips, hot sauces, BBQ sauces, cheeses, pickles, desserts, cakes, pre-made meals, and so much more. On my most recent visit, I picked up 1lb of hot Italian sausage and 1lb of sweet Italian sausage ($5.49 per lb each) for a low country boil we were throwing together for a party. We grilled the sausage, let it cool, sliced it, and added it to the boil which gave the dish a wonderful flavor and heat everyone enjoyed. It was difficult trying to keep the masses back as the sausage was coming off the grill, LOL. I plan to return to Gaffs soon! I look forward to purchasing some of their steaks, pot pies, and other specialty items for upcoming dinner events. If you have never been to Gaff's before, I highly recommend stopping in to see what they have to offer.

I've been a customer at Gaff's for years, but my recent pre-order experience has unfortunately…read moreended that relationship. I ordered 5 lbs of bone-in short ribs weeks in advance for Thanksgiving--at the staff's own suggestion when I inquired about availability. I provided my pickup date and time as requested, and received two confirmation calls leading up to the holiday. Despite all this preparation, the actual pickup was frustrating and disorganized. When I arrived at my scheduled time on the day before Thanksgiving, the shop was using the standard take-a-number system that completely ignored appointment times. The chaos was predictable--dozens of customers were there for pre-orders--but the system failed at multiple points. Numbers were called too quietly in a loud, crowded shop, and the LED display wasn't consistently updated. Staff gave customers mere seconds to respond before moving to the next number, causing people to be skipped repeatedly. I waited 40 minutes past my scheduled pickup time. When I finally reached the counter, my order wasn't prepared. After weeks of advance notice and multiple confirmations, they had a 3 lb package and a 12 lb package available--neither matching my 5 lb order. I settled for 6 lbs (half of the larger package), which required additional cutting and another 10-minute wait. What's most disappointing is that this was entirely preventable. The day before Thanksgiving is obviously their busiest day of the year, but it's also completely predictable. Pre-orders were advertised in-store for over a month. Simple measures--dedicated staff for pre-orders, a separate pickup area, orders prepared ahead of time--would have prevented this chaos. Instead, the staff seemed dismissive when confronted with their lack of preparation. I understand holiday rushes can overwhelm any business, but this wasn't a rush--it was a failure to plan for a workload they actively solicited and had weeks to prepare for. For a business that asks customers to plan ahead with pre-orders, I expected them to do the same. I won't be returning.

Publix has become the leading name in the supermarket field here in the southeast. Once you…read moreexperience 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. I would definitely recommend this particular Publix location or any Publix location for that matter and I give it five stars.

Always the same people. Sometimes new people or multiple people. Even ones that walk the parking lot and stop you to ask for cash. Then after you park sometimes it will smell like BO in the psrking area. Make sure to check prices as several times I've rung items up which came higher than price tag showed. Additionally make sure to check bagged produce as it will say it's supposed to be 3lbs for example and it's ofter under from my experience- anywhere from .15lbs or .25lbs to even nearly a pound short(once an item was short by almost a lb. They will not give you a discount when it's short as I asked because every single bag for an item was under the stated weight. So I passed on buying those items. Going elsewhere for produce from now on most likely. I may even stop coming here all together especially with that and being constantly harassed for money at this location.
