They had nice salads, refresh drinks, and a lot of little instant meal options that were useful while traveling. I picked up some lighter items, a few snacks, and some chips, and they had exactly what I needed. The staff were very friendly and the whole visit went smoothly. Publix did exactly what I needed it to do, and I am giving them 5 stars.

The inside of this location is pretty clean and organized. I purchased some fresh seafood and the lady assisting me was so polite and helpful. I grabbed a few more things but had a little challenge finding fish fry mix..... I finally located it! Don't ask which aisle, I don't remember! lol Checking out was fast despite it being busy. The young lady cashier was friendly and upbeat so I appreciated that.

They just have great stuff and some of the best quality meat in town. I'd recently heard about the $5 Thursday bistro meal deal, and was reminded to check it out. I'll be back on a Thursday! Today, I took home some sushi for lunch. Prices are the exact same as sushi from The Pig or Publix, but the sushi is so much better looking and tasting. The salmon and avocado roll was fantastic. The dairy section is small, but I should probably eat less dairy anyway. I enjoy walking around and seeing all the fun packaging (I tell myself I'm not falling for marketing gimmicks, just appreciating good design). The had some chicken breast and coffee creamer on BOGO free deals that I scooped up. The people at the check-out lines are always so nice. I believe there's a discount for UAB employees, too.

Pick up was simple at the deli counter with one lady running back and forth with each person in line. The sea bass cakes had minimal pieces of fish, the filet mignon that I sous vide at 135 and seared tasted gamey and bloody. The asparagus came in a bag to be microwaved and the mashed potatoes just needed to be warmed. Wished the asparagus were actually prepped with the ends removed. Not sure if my husband and I will do this again. Will probably piece meal the parts together and prep the meat and veggies appropriately since we have to cook it all anyway. The chocolate heart desserts were the best part.

When I went into this Trader Joe's recently, it felt like they've spread things out, maybe they…read morepared down the inventory for a more spacious feel? I know they have made some changes since it first opened, but it did feel sort of less cluttered. I say that because while the aisles felt wider, the produce less crammed, and a back corner reconfigured, I still have never mastered the art of shopping Trader Joe's. The placement of items seems so random to me, and unituitive. Why are there peanut butter cups and harissa above frozen vegetables? Why are cookies over nearly everything frozen from dinner entrees to breakfasts? It can be a little frustrating for 'compartmental shoppers.' If you want fresh flowers, make sure you go early in the day for the best selection. And if you're going for flowers near the end of the week, be also forewarned that a number of church flower guilds use TJ to create and/or supplement their weekly arrangements because TJ gets some unique flowers in smaller bunches at decent prices.

I've learned to love and appreciate the crowds of people picking their selections to make floral arrangements as I'm entering the doors. The other day people had baskets full and looked like they were having the time of their lives. I, however, had the time of my life browsing the aisles for some of my regular items and new exciting items to give a try.

They also offer an array of organic, great quality produce. (Strawberries were a little funky but almost out of season here- but everything else was great!!) The wine selection is also fantastic, and they have a bunch of unique wines like strawberry, peach, etc. I was able to get A LOT of stuff for very cheap, and it stocked my pantry and fridge and freezer.

My only issue has been that the avocados haven't been the best. Their brand products have also proven to be good quality and taste great. The little salad bar line of hummus and guacamole tastes like it's homemade. I've yet to find a brand comparable. The frozen items such as fries, shrimp, chicken tenders, and others are always great go to items. This store is a great resource for cheap, yet good quality food items.

They seem to have good sales on some of the brand name items. The staff is mainly young, high schoolers but they are nice.

WHOO! HOO! I really do save money at this store. I always thought that when I wasn't going by what was on sale at Publix, that I should suck it up and shop at Wal-Mart. Now, I don't have to! So, why am I not giving this 5 stars? Because the storefront could use some cleaning. I'm not saying change it, because that would take away from the charm, but give it a fresh coat of paint. Also, the inside could use a bit of freshening up. But, overall, I recommend this store.

We liked to get the Too Good To Go bags they offer - look it up, definitely worth trying out, they're just hard to get since they go so fast.

They also have a ton of stuff to try, but it does seem a little like Trader Joes - a lot of speciality foods, most of which are out of normal budget.
