This Publix is one of my favorites because of its smaller footprint and fewer crowds. I stop by their Publix Pours spot almost every visit -- from a craft soda, smoothie, beer, or acai bowl. Their prices are very reasonable, and it's always a treat getting a drink to enjoy while shopping. The staff are always welcoming! Enjoying a drink at their counters is convenient as well. They have three televisions in the sitting area, which have especially been great to watch during the Winter Olympics. read more

Publix - NA Raspberry Mojito Craft Soda - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is by far the worst Publix I've ever been to. There is never anyone working at the deli or chicken counter. Every time I need assistance, I have to call Customer Service and wait around 10 minutes before someone finally comes over. Then, after all that waiting, they tell me at 7:00 PM that there's no fried chicken or hot food available because they didn't make any. This isn't a one-time issue. The lack of staffing and poor planning seem to be the norm at this location. Publix is known for its customer service, but this store falls far below that standard. Very disappointing. read more

This is the fanciest Publix I've ever been to. If i remember right it was built in 2021. It has an entire different layout than any other Publix. The deli is in a square but when you see it it's so cool. All the fruits and veggies are in coolers. it's funny but they have the cutest bathroom lol girls when you go you'll love the mirror. They have a large amount of self check out. It had a bar they serve wine and beer. I had a local cider which was really great. The bar has a happy hour and everything. This Publix was so cool. It's an Orlando hidden gem lol I can't wait to go back!! read more

Where Shopping Is Actually a Pleasure If every grocery store operated like Publix, errands would feel less like chores and more like... dare I say, a pleasant experience. From the moment you walk in, it's clean, bright, and thoughtfully organized. The produce section is consistently fresh and beautifully displayed, the bakery smells like happiness, and the deli? Don't even get me started -- those subs are legendary for a reason. What truly sets Publix apart, though, is the customer service. The staff is unfailingly friendly, helpful without hovering, and genuinely seems to care. Whether it's someone walking you directly to an item instead of pointing, or a cashier who remembers your name, the attention to detail shows. Prices are fair, sales are solid, and the store-brand products punch well above their weight. It's the kind of place where you go in for "just one thing" and leave with a full cart -- and zero regrets. Publix has mastered the art of grocery shopping done right. Once you shop here, it's hard to settle for anything else. read more

This is my favorite Publix, I just had a wonderful experience with Tyler and the hot food/deli department but all of the employees have always been super helpful and nice when I visit here! There is another Publix right across the street, but this is my favorite one. read more

Publix - Catfish, macaroni & cheese, some kind of tater tots on steroids (really yummy) - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

If there is such a thing as a favorite Publix - this would be it. You get the customer service of a Chick-fil-A but in supermarket form. (If you know what I mean). Everyone is super friendly and helpful from the hellos as soon as you enter the building, to the individuals on the aisle asking if they can assist you with finding anything to the pharmacy. It's a smaller location so some items are limited but it is always a great experience. They even have a bar where you can get wine and beer. read more

Really clean location with a great layout and fully stocked shelves. The employees were helpful and the check-out line moved much faster than I expected for a busy day. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

This was my first visit to a Publix Pours inside of a Publix store. It's sort of funny because there is another Publix right next door but this smaller store has all of the charm. When you first walk in, there is a small bar to the left of the site. You can either sit down to enjoy your drink there or walk around the store with it. In the future, they plan to do flights of beer on tap as well. Could be a good way to try the beer before purchasing in store. If you don't fancy a pint, there are also wine, smoothies, mocktails, coffee and açaí bowls to pick from. Overall, it was a unique shopping and I would highly recommend going this Publix a visit! read more

Had an amazing experience here today while picking up a sub. I'm one of those people who doesn't care for jersey miles, jimmy johns, subway etc. Publix subs always hits the spot for me! This is a BRAND NEW gorgeous CLEAN Publix! I had the best service at the deli with Stacey who made my sub. She was the absolute sweetest person I've ever encountered making subs! She also did not bat a single eye when I asked for a difficult sub. On my way out I was treated by another fabulous employee who asked me if I saw the bar. UMM WHAT?! This Publix has a B A R that serves beer & wine! Apparently she says they make smoothies and acai bowls as well! I'm soo happy I just purchased a house a mile away and this is my new local Publix. Years ago I shopped at the one in the plaza across the street. Love that one also. read more

Publix - Pub Sub - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

There is a reason, well, several reasons that I can point directly at to explain the rise of Publix to the very definition of what a supermarket should and could be here in the southeastern United States. First, Publix has amazing customer service. You are continuously greeted by the employees as you walk through the supermarket. They also will address any question or concern you might have. Customer service is just one thing that sets Publix apart. Another thing is their weekly BOGO (buy one, get on free) deals. Every week they have a slew of great deals. We also cannot forget their subs, affectionately known as pub subs. These are great subs. One of my main go to subs their Italian. I also like their roast beef and cheese. My daughter, who is not a huge sandwich fan, even likes their chicken tenders subs. My son, who does like sandwiches, likes their Italian sub, as well. Kind of weird to realize that some of the best subs come from a supermarket, but Publix definitely delivers. Oh, another thing that I am a fan of is the Publix diet iced tea, available over by the deli section. The deli is also pretty impressive. You can get cakes and whatnot, but I really like their bread and they also have pizza dough do that you can make your own homemade pizza. All in all, Publix is a great supermarket and it is my go to supermarket. If you have been to Publix, I am sure you will understand. If you are not familiar with Publix supermarket, try them once and you will be a fan. Publix has come a long way since they began here in Florida. They have expanded throughout the southeast and continue to grow. As I said, I do recommend Publix, definitely the best supermarket around. read more

AVOID OERDERING FROM THE DELI HERE ! Too many times I arrive to pick up an online order only to be told they are out of some item (usually bread). Today I had ordered 2 sandwiched. Arrived to find only 1 was made. Staff said they were waiting for manager to arrive to slice the cold cuts necessary for my order/ Manager had just arrivded - so I was told it would be ready in 10 minutes. Returned 15 minutes later and still no sandwich was made. Manager acted totally clueless. No apology - nothing. Needless to say I left with neither sandwich and will not be repeating my frustrations with this inept geroup in the future. read more

Elizabeth is the best! I go to the Pours section all the time and am always thrilled when she's the one working. She makes the perfect acai bowl and is always a pleasure to chat with. She memorized my order within a couple of visits and puts it together better and faster than anyone else there. read more

Publix - THE COOKIES - Grocery Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I have been to many grocery stores in my lifetime and one of the best grocery franchises is Publix where shopping is a pleasure. It's been a Florida tradition since 1930 when Mr. Jenkins opened the first ever Publix in Winter Haven, FL bringing great customer services and fantastic everyday foods to the masses. Publix has come a long way since its humble beginnings almost over a hundred years ago, you can now find Publix's all throughout Florida and the surrounding states. It's considered one of the best places to shop and to work at as well. I even worked there twice in my life once in high school during my junior & senior years then once after I had graduated from high school, both times were two of my best jobs I have ever had period. Now lets talk about the Publix located in Sodo District of Orlando at 3171 S. Orange Avenue. This Publix is smaller than most Publix's I have been in it used to be a Lucky's Market until Publix bought the building and turned it into a Publix which is across from another Publix. My job as a Pepsi Merchandiser takes me to many different Publix's around the central Florida area but what makes this Publix stand out from the rest is its new department called Publix Pours. Now I bet you are wondering what the heck is Publix Pours, well I am going to tell you my friends its an all in one coffee, juice, and alcohol bar. That's right I said all in one bar where you can get your morning coffee to start your day off strong, where you can get that super duper delicious smoothie with are the different fruits & veggies your heart desires and lastly get that adult beverage like a beer or a fancy glass of wine because you want to be sophisticated drinker. Its for anyone who has ever had the desire to get a little tipsy while they shop for all their grocery needs. when you walk into this particular Publix you will find Publix Pours snuggled in the corner off to the left from the entrance of the Publix, there is also an entrance that leads from the Pours area to a outside sitting area. The decor of Publix Pours is set up like a Starbucks with a counter that you can sit at where a Publix associate will take your order like the baristas to at Starbucks. The coolest thing about Publix Pours is the different beers they have on tap domestic and craft beers galore. The last thing about this location is their amazing customer service which is always the same no matter what Publix I may find myself in because like I said earlier Publix is Where Shopping Is A Pleasure, which I find is one of the best slogans a business can have as their go to slogan because they can always back up what they say. So as always if you find yourself driving through the Sodo District of Orlando on South Orange Avenue drop in grab yourself a coffee or get that adult beverage you been clamoring for and always remember Publix again Is Where Shopping Is A Pleasure and now its also the place where you can get your drink on lol. Hope you have enjoyed my review and hope it helps your with making some of your decisions thank you again all my friends. read more

This publix doesn't carry a lot of stuff they used to carry. Annie's Organic Original Snack Bars they no longer carry. They carry very little Tazo Tea. They used to carry Tazo Tea Mint Green not anymore. They replaced the Tazo Tea with a lot of other teas and guess what it doesn't look like anyone is buying any of those teas. The Tazo Tea Mint Green always sold well there. I tried getting a gift card for either Sonny's or Outback and they didn't have any at all. They were missing a lot of gift cards. Honestly I go to this publix, because it's close to my house, but I'm going to start going to another publix. It's just not worth the trip anymore. Amazon has both the tazo tea and the Annies Snack Bars that I used to buy at Publix. I checked with Annies, and according to their website they still carry them. I don't know why this Publix quit carrying both of these items, because they always sold very well. read more

A small store with big personalities John at the Pours counter was an absolute gem! So kind and made our first Publix experience a great one. Shout out to the deli crew! They were also extremely friendly and made some legit pub subs. We didn't catch their names but the man who helped us was bald and wore a hair net (yay for health and safety! )! read more

At first I was confused on why there was a Publix next to a Publix but this small Publix has so much to offer! I stopped by the Pours area and John was very helpful he basically gave some insight on everything they serve from wine to açaí bowls! This Publix has everything your regular Publix would have just smaller, modern and Very clean! read more

Our neighborhood Publix off of S Orange got a second Publix, literally across the street! But this second addition, isn't just an ordinary Publix supermarket...this one has a bar!! In the mornings, I've grabbed a coffee (they have new Seasonal Flavors like a PSL) and I've also grabbed a smoothie. In the afternoons, a glass of wine or a flight of beer are in order! Not only is there a bar area where you can chill and enjoy your beverage of choice, there's also a cup holder located in the corner of the shopping cart for you to sip and shop! Publix might turn into the local hangout spot on a Friday night! read more

While I really miss Lucky's, this new Publix is a great replacement. I especially like that they kept the bar inside the store so you can order beer or wine and drink while shopping. They also make fresh açaí bowls and smoothies. It's not as big as the Publix next door, but personally I think the layout of this store is better. read more

Lady at the self checkout. Laura on 7/19. Is a star she was on her game and making everything run so smooth!

Newly build Publix in town, drove past by many time thinking that it was just any other Publix. Saw an article that it has a bar inside and serves drinks (alcohol). The store are newly modern design without the crowd, probably not many people know about this location and there were another Publix in the plaza next to this one. When I went here, employees were busy setting up the store. The bar serves alcohol and shakes along with other soft drinks , but the location of the bar is not at the entrance instead it was near the exit. Overall this Publix have newer and very customer friendly design. read more

This is probably the worst Publix in the state. I have no idea how they hire the employees they hire. Jasmine and Jeff are without a doubt the rudest grocery employees o have encountered in a couple decades. The fact that Jasmine is some manager is kind of kind of mind noggling. Favors had to have happened, there is no other explanation. Just horrible. Will shop at Walmart and Whole Foods and Trader Joe's from now on. read more

John was so so so fun! Came in after work and it was such a lovely experience it was lively and he went out of his way to make it a unique experience Helped us decide on our orders and the customer service was amazing! Luis? I think that's how you spell his name was helping with our order as well and was super nice!!! Robin made our shakes and she was also so pleasant to talk to in all the customer service was so great and they deserve everything‍ read more

They came to me and said that I had made inappropriate comments or something. The fact is I'm very aware that I did not. I'm always very friendly and they weren't! The bathrooms are almost always filthy customer service is not that great Chloe who works the bar is very standoffish and not personal and kind of a nauseous along with the manager as well. They should start listening to their customers rather their employees because the customers are spending money and paying their salaries or their money. Apparently the customer always right is not applicable here. It must be said there are two poems right next to each other and do not confuse the smaller Publix with the big Publix which is absolutely awesome very efficiently run I know build the manager he's incredible so that's a good review for that Publix but the other one sucks. read more

Love that this smaller location opened up across the street from the larger location. The lines are never long here and it's a quick in and out experience with the save service, however this location is much more personal since they aren't so busy. I feel as if the service is unlike the other Publix locations it's OUTSTANDING here! The deli workers are always so friendly and attentive and very patient. Keep up the great service, it doesn't go unnoticed. read more

This Publix was built to be a support Publix to the one right next door to it, but is constantly out of everything... it's pretty annoying that I come Here to help support the other store knowing that this is supposed to be a support location; and instead I'm left having to go across the street to the actual Publix. This store is a waste of time and money. If it were meant to be a back room it should be a STOCKED back room. read more

So I just had to stop by to see what this Publix looked like being that there is in already across the street. I can start with how wonderful it was to find an upfront quick parking spot. This Publix is smaller than the one across the street BUT this one is so cleaned and organized!!!! It was so nice to be able to find products very quickly. I noticed that this Publix has more of like items you can't really find in your regular Publix. I was finally able to find Alani Nu Pre-workout because every Publix I check had zero. They have the self checkout which I love because I am always rushing being that I am like on a mini office break. although there was an employee standing there and literately told me to go to isle 5 because they were open. I was like umm ok. I really only had a few items mostly the Atkins buy one get one frozen meals that are on sale. So I walked to line 5 and GUESS what? There was someone on the line waiting for a price check so needless to say I had to do some waiting. Next time I will just tell her I would like to self checkout. So if you haven't checked them out go do so its pretty nice. Oh and they still have where you can buy wine, beer or a drink and drink while you shop. lol I don't think I would do so I may spend my entire check lol read more
