I only come here when I need a few things last minute. It is the closest, driving time anyhow, full service grocery store near my home. The reason being is obvious - Publix is more expensive than other grocery stores; so major shopping is not going to happen. The store is always clean and the employees are always nice and helpful when called upon. If groceries overall were not 10-30% more here I would come more often. If it wasn't for the prices this place would be good (4 stars) or maybe even great (5 stars), but alas it is just OK (3 stars). read more

I am in out of state visitor, Atlanta to be exact visiting my family here in auburndale. I don't think there's ever a time that I can go past a Publix or not stop in to see what they have then my store might not have currently. I was told the store is less than 6 months old or something like that. In Florida the structure of their stores is completely different from Georgia. This store has two floors. I am not sure if customers have access to the floors. It also is on the darker side. I noticed Publix is building stores with a dark ceiling and different lighting now. I am not necessarily a fan of that but I am a fan of newness. The deli and hot bar section is bravo.It kind of sits in the middle of the floor instead of against the wall so you can walk completely around it just about I think yes you can. The good thing about that is that the customers are not all condensed in one area they're all the way around the bar. The selections are chef's kiss! The staff is very friendly and courteous. I found some clearance items in the store that I was very happy about and the quality of the food was very good. The only thing that was weird to me was the bakery is in the very back of the store all the way to the left behind the aisle of wine. I found that to be very strange so very used to the bakery being in the front of the store. I will also like to mention that they had handicap carts available and powered up. That is very good of them. Walmart could never. I will continue to visit the store because it's literally around the corner from my family's house. read more

You can never go wrong with Publix. Every time I go in Publix my kids ask for the sugar or sprinkle cookie. They serve the cookies with such pleasure my kids were happy. The fruits were fresh and the honey hot wings were on point. So was the mashed potatoes and Mac n Cheese. Everyone had a great attitude in the store it made me shop more than I actually intended. The cashier was super nice to the kids on the checkout and gave them stickers. Publix is the best! read more

They burnt something and it smells horrid today. The music blaring is just killing my headache . They really need to play some calmer music in places . Rethink the choices of music you play ! read more

Today was opening day. I missed opening, but made it here early afternoon. This store is amazing inside. It was insanely busy because it was opening day, but they have plenty of parking and plenty of carts and baskets. Inside the store is a layout I haven't seen before for Publix. It was very big with an interesting deli layout that will hopefully speed things up compared to other Publix deli's. There's even an upstairs seating area that I didn't get the chance to check out. Many associates were walking around and helping customers. Offering samples and assisting where they could. The only issue I had with the store is checkout. I know new stores pull from nearby stores for opening day help. Hopefully the staff that'll be here permanently will live the Publix promises that existed when I worked here that the nearby Publix definitely fails on EVERY visit. The issue I had at this new store today was the cashier not welcoming me, asking if I found everything okay, the front service clerk not offering to assist outside (2x2 rule), and placing raw chicken in the same bag with cooked chicken and bakery bread. read more

This is a beautiful store. I love to go to the deli and pick up a fresh meal and eat it on the second floor seating area. read more

Deli only! This store is now famous with us for lazy Deli workers and using old product to save Publix. Third time today got a sub with old bread. They are too cheap to throw away the day old rolls. I'm done! Will never go back! 1st time I ate the terrible sub. 2nd time I drive back and showed the deli manager the super thick cut meat and crumbling bread (day old or older) She had to cut fresh meat cause she said all the meat on their make table was thick cut. The truth is the lazy workers refuse to cut the meat the meat thin because it takes longer. NEWsflash idiots, you're paid by the hour so it's okay to take longer!!! Then she walked to the bakery to get a fresh roll because she knew they had no fresh rolls at their station. Publix doesn't seem to learn that if you sell junk in very and over no one will buy it eventually. It's almost impossible to get a pound of sliced ham thin. They move the dial half way thru and you find out at home. I refuse it now and make them slice it again. This is how service is in America now, half-assed effort anyone under 35. Zero work ethic. How they ruin a good thing. read more

The deli is the worst! Get ready to stand in line for a sub for at least 30 minutes during lunch. If you want soup, call ahead so they can start making it because they are always empty and it takes 25 minutes to make. read more

The deli needs much improvement in the manager/leadership department. Most of the deli workers hide in the separated cooking area not in view of customers and only come out to help serve when prompted to because of the long lines. All seem very nonchalant about customer service and they clearly lack direction and focus. I've seen the deli manager sauntering around along with other deli workers doing every task possible except serving waiting customers in line. The worst Publix deli I have ever been in! We shop here at least twice a week and it is the same thing every time with the deli department. The exception to this are the workers from the sushi bar who are always working and attentive to detail. read more

Love love love publix! This one in particular has a very nice set up. All employees have been amazing and the store is always clean.

Publix have the best subs,it's fresh and they toast it also,I've never been disappointed

I thought it was just as Publix always is. Friendly and fast and most importantly to me it was clean. I saw the other review and think it was the first day cut them some slack. I would not have left a review honestly but I thought you deserved higher than a 3. read more

ordered sub on line at 5:30pm. Friday, Nov 3 and paid on line. Said would be ready at 6:05 p.m. Got there, no sub ready. 3 people in line ordering subs, got theirs and left. Still no sub. They knew I was there and said a few words to me. at 6:25 they started my sub, left store at 6:30. They must have lost the order which was paid for. read more

I will say that this Publix is a great addition to the neighborhood. But I will say that Walmart prices are lower. But we still take advantage of there BOGO offers. And quick pick up items. read more
