People are in and out with their dogs on leashes, dogs in carts, and carrying dogs. I am pretty sure these are not service animals. Of course, no one in management ever approaches an ask - so how would we know. Really, it's just as easy to go across the street to Aldi's.

I will never be back to this publix again. Tonight I went into the store to pick up a quick easy…read moredinner for my family. While in the meat department I decided due to my medication and my small appetite the the pre-made pop in the over dinners looked quite good. Unfortunately, my family and I were met by the most sexist man I've ever come to face with inside of a publix store. While grabbing our food the man working the meat counter decided to come up to my famil and I and ask repeatedly why I didn't cook for my family since it was my day off. The first time he said it I tried to brush it off and say yes, it's my day off, I've worked all week and it's time for a nice break. He then repeated himself more.than once asking why I hadn't cook. I can understand culture differences, but this was pure sexist behavior. Regardless of my life or my situation shaming me in front of my family and mutiple other customers is absolutely inexcusable behavior. I expect much more from a publix. I used to drive out of my way to go to this publix because it was my favorite to shop at. Unfortunately, after this interaction I will not be back. I will not recommend to my friends or family to go to this publix anymore either. I understand it was only one employee, but if that is the standard of employee my new expectations are super low.

I had such an exceptional experience at The Fresh Market while preparing for the final day of…read moreTeacher Appreciation Week at my daughter's preschool. I worked with the manager, Mark, to create a beautiful flower bar for ten teachers, and Fresh Market absolutely outdid themselves. They prepared a gorgeous assortment of fresh flowers along with a stunning continental breakfast tray and fruit platter complete with a delicious yogurt dip. Everything was fresh, beautifully arranged, and ready for pickup promptly at 7:30 that morning. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire process -- they even helped me carry everything to my car. Beyond this experience, the store itself is impeccable. The deli has amazing fresh prepared foods, the produce is delicious, and they offer a large assortment of healthy and tasty snacks. What surprised me most were the prices -- they were so reasonable and worked perfectly within my fixed budget. The store honestly reminds me of Dean & Deluca in New York with its high-end feel, quality food, and beautiful presentation, but with much more approachable pricing. I'm so grateful for the care and attention they gave to my order and highly recommend Fresh Market in Lakewood Ranch!

I have a complicated relationship with The Fresh Market…read more Let's start with the truth. The prices are... bold. Confident. Unapologetic. A bag of tortilla chips here costs about 50% more than the exact same bag across the street. Same brand. Same chips. Apparently these chips have been on a wellness retreat or something. That said, I absolutely show up every Tuesday for the $5 pizza special. Like clockwork. I tell myself I'm only buying the pizza. Just the pizza. Then somehow I walk out with a few other things because I'm already there and the lighting makes everything feel important. Outside of the Tuesday pizza situation, I don't do full grocery runs here. It's more of a strategic visit. Pizza in, wallet guarded, minimal eye contact with the aisles. So yes, overpriced. But the pizza keeps pulling me back. Three stars for delicious temptation and elite pizza math.

Detwiler's Farm Market is hands down one of my favorite places to shop for anything fresh. When I…read moresay farm fresh, I mean straight-from-the-farm fresh -- and they truly support local farmers. The produce section is always piled high with the most beautiful displays of fruits and vegetables. They make fresh salsa in-house, have an entire area of fresh fruit (even a station where you can core your own pineapple!), and offer some of the freshest seafood and meats around. The deli is just as impressive, with sandwiches, soups, and salads -- and you can have a sandwich made exactly how you like it. There's even a cheese bar where they sample specialty cheeses. Around special occasions like Valentine's Day, you'll find them hand-dipping chocolate-covered strawberries and offering samples. Their bakery is incredible. Everything is made from scratch -- the cinnamon rolls are absolutely amazing, and we love the cookies and cakes. They bake their own bread and even make their own donuts. From the produce to the meat department to the bakery, everything at Detwiler's is truly top-notch. They also have an ice cream counter featuring homemade Yoder's ice cream. You can grab a sundae, milkshake, or even an açai bowl while you're there. Yes, it's always busy -- but somehow the checkout lines move quickly every single time. They are incredibly efficient, and the staff is some of the friendliest and most helpful you'll find anywhere. The store is beautifully decorated, with each department thoughtfully themed. They play uplifting Christian music throughout the store, and no matter how crowded it gets, it's always a pleasant experience. People are genuinely smiling -- even the shoppers seem happy to be there. If you're visiting from out of town, Detwiler's is a must-stop. And if you're local, it deserves a permanent spot on your weekly shopping list. Decor, quality, service -- it's a 10 out of 10 every time.
