Ok, I'm as surprised as you are that someone is giving a supermarket a 5 star review, but I have…read moreto say, this Publix is really, really great and has improved immensely since just a year ago. Last year, we drove out to Lowe's as we weren't terribly impressed by Publix but whatever changes they've made, I hope they stick to it. The staff are LOVELY. So helpful, pleasant, eager to assist. The ramen and sushi are GREAT! My kids made us go back several times. The bakery had wonderful treats for them too and the rest of the store had a really comprehensive array of items. The wine section also had a really great array with prices that aren't overblown...I looked up quite a few and the prices were all within reason of expectations. If I were to nitpick, I would say they should step up their coffee game - the ones they have in stock aren't great so we had to get beans elsewhere. Their produce selection isn't always superb but we generally found more than enough to supplement what we didn't buy at Island Produce or other markets around. Thanks Publix! Very happy to have made you our primary store on this visit. We will do so again in the future.

The food at the deli was great, the service less so. Despite placing an order online to avoid…read morewaiting in line, when we arrived at 3:30 (when our food was supposed to be ready, as we'd placed our order around 45 minutes earlier), the food wasn't ready. Our food (four subs) was STILL not ready for another 30 minutes. There was a steady line of in person customers, of course, but they had three workers actively making subs, and all three of them appeared to be prioritizing the in-person line. Only sporadically did they work on our online order, even though they were already behind on our order & those in line had only just arrived. Three other customers who had placed online orders arrived while we were waiting and were still waiting when we left. We finally got our last sub just as they finished serving their last customer in line. Again, this was 30 minutes after we had arrived, 30 minutes after our food was supposed to be ready, and fully an hour and 15 minutes past when our order had been originally placed. This was quite frustrating. I appreciate that the workers appeared to be doing their best, and they did apologize for the wait, which I also appreciate. But I could have gotten my food within 15 minutes if I had just gotten in line with everyone else. I'm not sure what the point is of having online ordering available, if the food isn't going to be ready when promised and the online orders are going to be so deprioritized compared to the in-person orders. Either they need to change their "ready by" times or they need to change their workflow. I will say, the sandwich, which was a vegan turkey situation, was absolutely delicious. I just wish I hadn't had to stand for 30 minutes and watch them make food for other people when our order had already been pending for longer than anyone in line.

I asked someone about it but it did not go with the other offer below it. So when I went to the check out, sure enough the price was not correct. The lady had to ask someone and I guess the price was wrong. She did give me the product for the correct price, so I appreciate that. My score would have been great had it not been for the price error and staff not knowing anything about it. I also picked up a few wings and they were great. I really like Food Lion's sale prices.

The most polite way to approach someone is to 1st ask if they need help! Wait for the customers response and proceed depending on their answer! I no help is needed then let them know that you will be near by if needed! If the answer is yes then help them! I go to 4 different Food Lions depending on where I am. The Swansboro Store is the most irritating of them all! A while ago I was in line as the next customer and a cashier overlooked me as if I weren't there. I made a comment and both the Customer Service manager and the young lady looked at me and walked away, no apology! Today I was in the self-check out service line and the lady guarding the registers approached me and said, if you use the codes on the melons they will come back as not found. I acknowledged her by saying okay and then kept ringing up my order. I had placed all my items on the ticket and she pointed out that I had 2 different types of things on my order and that they were not the same price. I became annoyed! I pointed out on the screen the two items she spoke about and read the prices out loud because she had also said she didn't see the items on the screen so again I pointed them out and read the prices aloud! She came back with an attitude, I was only trying to help you and make some suggestions. I advised her that I frequent Food Lions often and very much aware of the process on how to locate items with or without numbers on them. I thanked her for her help and she got an attitude. Walked away saying the same thing! I was only trying to help. Help what ? Not looking at the screen to see that the items were already added to the screen! I'm gonna pass on Swansboro Food Lion going forward! I rather be treated like a wanted customer!

This grocery store and gas station took over the space vacated by the very briefly present Wal-Mart convenience store, and is a huge improvement over that atrocity. Walking in, the improvements over the Wal-Mart are easy to see. Attractive interior that doesn't feel overstuffed. A large variety of fresh foods and meats. There is even a small bakery and deli counter where you can order sandwiches to go. One of the best parts of this location, however, is that they have quite an impressive beer selection (wine, too)! You'll find everything from standard domestics all the way up to local, state, and larger craft brews. I picked up a 6 pack of "Not your Mother's Iced Tea" because who doesn't want to sip on a cold tea laced with a bit of alcohol while lazing on the beach?? This place really packs a lot of great services into their smaller location. They also double as a gas station, propane retailer, and red box movie stop. Be sure and support the pig when you're in town, so we don't have to drive all the way to Bayboro to get groceries again!

Great! We did so and waited roughly 10-15 minutes for the process, as expected. He handed me the now cut meat and while walking away, I noticed it wasn't really cut how the packaged one was cut at all. We shrugged it off and decided we could just make some cuts when we got home to fix it up a bit. However, when we got home they were cut horribly and so inconsistently that we would've been better off buying the large chunk of meat and cutting it at home ourselves. Asked for 3lbs of meat... after having to recut ourselves at home, we got maybe 1-1.5lbs.
