We often visit Publix for our better meat options! Everyone is always friendly and welcoming! Store is clean and spacious!

Since moving this Publix is closer to the house, so I end up here most weeks. I enjoy shopping at Publix for most of the veggies, fruits, meats, deli, bakery, and BOGOs. If they had a salad bar, I wouldn't have to cheat on them and go to the Lowe's Foods! But they don't. So I do. This Publix is just ok to me mainly because of the layout. The produce section is on the opposite side of the store from the bakery and deli. Makes no sense to me. The one on D Road that I e been shopping at for 20 years, and still use for my prescriptions, has the correct layout. Bakery, deli, produce. All aisle 1. The other thing that I'm not a fan of, and I believe this is all Publix, the self checkout doesn't take cash. Cash is still king in my world! But hey, we can't always get what we want. See you tomorrow Publix! read more

Publix - $27.79. Had to find it before the town is all out... - Grocery Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Located in a safe part of town, Publix can cater to and elevate most of your grocery needs. I must admit as a former chef then afterwards living in Kansas City and Austin TX for 25 years and frequenting large grocery stores with almost all of the things I've needed under one roof; I've been very disappointed with almost all the grocery stores here. Publix is about as good as it gets for most of their products but for the more adventurous tastes, it falls a bit short. Lets start with the food service area. I recall my love for their Boar's Head roast beef sandwiches, they were phenomenal! So, when I moved back I made it a priority, big mistake. The veggies were a bit older and the bread very hard. The meat was ok but overall it was lacking. The fried chicken was extremely salty while the "home fries" were cold. Also, the baked chicken as of 11am seemed to be sitting for a LONG time. I understand this is hard to gage but just reporting. I believe a better selection would have been nice. As for the bakery, some of their products are suspect. For instance, the cream cheese Danish had a funky flavor while the "fresh made" CC cookies were extremely dry. Next their selection of cakes and/or pies is limited as well. Moving into the meat selection, I was expecting more. Their options for ribeye were disappointing to say the least. I'm talking about in the display case, not from the butcher. Now I will say the butcher was extremely nice when I wanted some Osso Bucco, even taking some out the freezer and cutting it for me! Customer service is important to them. Publix is also pretty far behind on seasonal or promotional products. So, if you like the "monster cereals" like Booberry, I'm still waiting for it while 2 other chains already have it. New Dorito chips and Mt Dew flavors face the same challenges. That said they do have a good display for suggestive sales and the shelves are well stocked. As for the produce, they have a somewhat large and diverse selection. The mushroom selection is sparse. Want to pick up some woodear, loose shiitake, Oyster, Enoki, etc? Not here my dear, although they do have shitake packaged. I've hunted for exotic fruits such as dragon fruit, Buddha's hand, Star fruit etc but they don't carry it. Otherwise they carry the standard fair which is more in bulk than variety. My overall assessment of Publix is it works well for it's target group, middle class SC families looking for good prices on food that is pretty standard with having some "elegances" spread out enough to allow those who are adventurous to try something new. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shelves are well stocked, the environment clean and safe, and house made items such as breads, tortillas, soups, etc are decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Publix is a good grocery store for the masses. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean store. Everything is always so organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Employees are extremely helpful! This location has self checkouts, which can be faster sometimes. Great variety of international foods, meats, cheeses, and seafood. The colossal shrimp were so good and fresh! Didn't have a fishy taste at all. Crab cakes are also great. Used them to make homemade Alfredo and it turned out oh so good. read more

Publix - Homemade Alfredo with Publix crab cake and colossal shrimp - Grocery Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Every single time I do a mobile order for a sub - it's minimum 30 minutes. What I can accomplish vs what can be accomplished by the deli at this location in 30 minutes is very different. They have no sense of urgency or consideration for people's time nor the ability to work harder when busier. This isn't a new issue either but if you have one man making multiple subs to go then 2-3 people doing online orders with maybe 3 in the slot ready for pick up .... Let's reassess who is doing what for customer time sake. read more

I honestly love coming to this Publix. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is always spotless[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but it's the people who make the difference. Every staff member is so genuinely friendly and always wearing a smile. As an Instacart shopper, I really appreciate that the managers actually take the time to check in and see if I need help finding anything--it makes a huge difference in my day! From the fresh bakery smell to the incredible produce and meat, they always have exactly what I'm looking for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just a great, positive vibe every time I walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

Publix is usually my first choice when it comes to fresh cut deli meat, I figured that what came with the premium price of their meats comes service and cleanliness. Not today, when I was having my meat cut for sandwiches I was observing a swarm of flies all over the meat cutting stations, I mean they weren't just flying around, they were crawling all over the cutters and scales. Even swatting them from my own face. The person cutting the meat did not seem to be to concerned about what I was seeing, I did not want to appear to make a scene so I went to the customer service desk and the young woman just told me that it was to be fixed and they were aware of it. Food is high, you should get what you pay for. I threw the meat out. read more

I love this store and have shopped here for over twenty years. Was very disappointed to learn they wouldn't hire me because of my age. Not all seniors are alike and I can work circles around most of the kids they hired. I also notice the senior cashiers don't work much either, but maybe they don't want to. This is not a reputation Publix can afford. And you just lost a very good employee. read more

Waited 20+ extra minutes to pickup an online meat order that said it was already ready. There were others waiting into the 30 minutes to get pre-paid subs. It was a Wednesday and seemed to be only {retired aged} people back there and I watched the lady slice 2lbs of meat and it took over 12 minutes to slice only the 2 meats. Like the sloth on Zootopia in real life so that was fun to watch. Another evening, i was watching a lady make one sub for me, it took over 15 minutes for an Italian sub. She did not have any other subs to make either. She said that her lunch was supposed to be 2 hrs ago.. and was struggling. She was also out of olives and asked if I wanted lettuce instead... but they're not the same. I normally avoid the deli here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is nice and usually stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm sure it's good, but prepare to wait, maybe bring a book or a switch to play it's going to be a while. Also, prefer self checkout. There is not a time I've gone through and not re-bagged my orders to look nice and neat for my customers, I guess they think since I'm younger it's not a big deal.. that's most stores these days. Slow down, cold with cold. Meat products with meat. Raw meat by itself. Eggs and bread separate. That's how I rebag it anyway. Please no deodorant or chemical products with food... probably ever for anybody read more

Publix - Who did this?? lol - Grocery Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice store, much to choose from, spacious, the buy one get one deals are good here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was delighted to have help loading my bags into my car by a friendly and pleasant young man named Maj. We had a nice conversation about working full time. Maj was very careful placing my bags of food into the trunk. I'm sorry I did not have tip money! read more

Always have great beer selection and discounts on em! However, I think the rest of their grocery items are overpriced.

Love the staff but this store is severely lacking when it comes to stocking and bagging. They're too worried about pulling to the front which really only needs to be done on the top and lower shelves. Stock clerk told me there are many, many pallets of inventory that needs to be stocked. And letting children bag groceries is ridiculous. Most of the people that bag have no clue what they're doing. Do better. read more

The only reason they aren't 5 stars is due to price....but then again, you get what you pay for. Always good quality and excellent service. You can't go wrong with their deli, bakery, sushi, or subs. Order your subs ahead of time online because they stay super busy especially around lunch time rush!! read more

Publix - Ultimate sub - Grocery Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

I have shopped at Publix in Oakbrook since it opened. I have easy access to other competitive grocery stores within easy distance. This Publix has friendly, helpful folks working there. Product selections and prices are competitive. Pharmacy is superb for this area. These are why I kept going there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, there is a sound system in the store that is used for announcements and "music". This system is loud, screeching, and irritating to many folks I asked[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Each time I have asked I am told it is controlled by corporate. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is not the "normal enjoy your shopping" music of any genre. It seems designed to clear the store of customers to make sure no one lingers. "Buy and get out" is what it does[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Until this changes I would not recommend shopping there except for a couple of items and quickly leave saving your hearing and nerves. read more

Not enough stars for Austin in customer service! We left a bag when leaving and he made retrieving them a breeze! read more

I always enjoy shopping at Publix. It's a different atmosphere from the other grocery stores. And since I have started eating healthier, Publix is my go-to. They have more healthy food than the others. read more

Walking into Publix feels easy, for a person like me who has a hard time finding things on shelves. Organization, cleanliness, store clerks who are always there when you have a question. Special Recognition to Eddie, who helped me find oats and always helps my mom, even tho she has a language barrier. Eddie, you make a difference!! read more

I have hurt myself twice in the store Austin and Jenn to the rescue I had a stroke and I forget to pay attention to my left arm the first time using the electric cart I forgot to slide the check writing table continued through like wasn't there roped a silver dollar sized piece of skin Austin rushed to patch me up I've still got photos of that mess on my phone today in an electric cart again I was too close to the cart next to be my left elbow stuck out and I scraped it good the entire length of the other basket ripping another chunk of skin Austin was there and he jumped on repairs Jenn a former Navy corps women hasn't forgotten a thing GO NAVY!! I was so delighted with the care and concern of both Austin and Jenn I almost couldn't contain my emotions but I controlled it couldn't let her see a former Navy Sun sailor cry over a minor deal in minutes I was patched up cleaned up and doing my shopping. And this is just one reason Publix on Trolley road has been my store for over 15 years I applaud you both Thx Gary,former qualified sub sailor Sonar read more

Friendly staff and frequent Buy one Get one free coupons. However, the best part is their sandwich/deli counter. This is the only place yet where I can get a vegan cheesesteak. Meat AND cheese are vegan! And the bread is always fresh. No wonder why the line is always long. Make sure you order ahead! read more

This Publix has top-notch customer service. The cashiers are always really friendly. My kids love getting free cookies in the bakery and I love when they're cooking up yummy meals to sample as you walk in the door. I also love the buy one get one free deals they have here weekly and the pre-sliced fruit in the produce section. Tip: park on the side of the building closest to Midland Pkwy- much easier to get in and out that way! read more

In fairness, this is the closest full grocery store to my house, so I do pop into here frequently. It is a higher end grocery store, so prices reflect that. They do have some good sales, definitely recommend signing up for their online flyer / app / digital coupons. From time to time they offer you specials on items because you are signed up on the digital app. The shopping experience in itself is good here, no complaints. They have rearranged the bread and card section to where the vegetables are. I have never had a 'horrible' experience here from the staff, they are always pretty friendly and upbeat. Store is clean and well lit, plenty of space in the aisles. Shopping here is a pleasant experience. I like the fresh produce and fruits offered here, and my son likes the parfaits and the subs. We definitely like the chicken family pack with sides as a last minute dinner plan. I do not see a lot of the shortages of things that some other stores are suffering through, if they do have a shortage, its few and far between from what I have seen. read more

Publix on Old Trolley Road in Summerville is one of my favorite groceries to shop at for all of my grocery, food, and deli needs. This store is very efficient, clean, and well run. I have always had a really great experience here throughout the years and they have been consistently excellent across the board here at this Publix. The staff and managers here are super friendly, caring, warm and nice and do everything in their power to make sure that you are taken care of as a customer and that shopping truly is a pleasure. The checkout lines are really fast here and there always seems to be plenty of cashiers and baggers to make sure that everything runs smoothly. Overall this is a really awesome grocery store. read more

I ordered a cake for my daughter's first Birthday and let them know the smash cake was going to look like a watermelon had to order from somewhere else due to my daughter's Allergies so they made the sheet cake look just like a watermelon! I was very happy with it! They did a great job! The girl that took my order was so nice and it was ready when I went to pick it up! The ladies in the bakery have great customer service! The other staff members throughout the store were friendly too! I will definitely be going here again for our cake needs in the future :) read more

This location has really fresh produce and an awesome bakery, it is the only place that I order special occasion cakes for myself or family members, the cakes always taste freshly prepared and moist. The frosting... well don't get me started on how good it is. I've tried other grocery store bakeries, even other Publix locations and they always seem to fall short. I appreciate the service that I receive at the check out line, the baggers specifically go out of their way to assist (sometimes even unloading my items out of my cart onto the counter for check out. I find that very courteous and the first time it happened I was very surprised, I mean at what grocery store does that happen??? I love the BOGO deals, some weeks they have better deals than others but if you shop correctly you can definitely stock up on the things that you need/utilize most often. There have been one or two occasions that I found an item past it's expiration date but this seems to be something that happens at many of the grocery stores in the area, I would say it's always a good practice to check the date on your items regardless of where you shop. Overall, I am pleased with this location. read more

Publix is one of my favorite grocery stores. I have never had any issues at this location. The store is clean, organized and well stocked. The associates are friendly and helpful. Literally some of the best fruit compared to other grocery stores. Picked up a few sides from the hot bar for the first time. They sell mashed potatoes but no gravy...which I thought was super weird but not a big deal. I also grabbed some potato wedges. Both items were good. read more

No one greets you like they use to, or offers to help you. Waited for deli line 15 minutes, put order in and went shopping, waited in line again 15 minutes to pick up order. Only to be told they dont have Boars Head Honey Ham.... Harris Teeter is where to go. If I wanted bad service I could have gone to a cheaper food mart. Step up Publix! Y'all use to be a great place to shop. read more

This grocery store is fantastic! Being new this area of the country, I had never shopped at a Publix until moving here and starting to frequent this store. I have to say, I absolutely love this Publix! It's clean, well organized, usually has great deals and, above all, the staff is amazing! Everyone here is so kind, friendly and happy to be helpful. While it is the most conveniently located grocery store to me, I would definitely still shop here even if it wasn't so close to home. Also, I really like the sandwiches and especially appreciate that you can order sandwiches online and pick it up in the store next to the deli - no waiting for pick-up! read more

Purchased Gala apples yesterday. They were awful tasted and smelled like a cellar. Best description I can think of. I threw them away not eatable very disappointed read more

Great store especially if your looking for great fish or meat. One of the only stores in town who have Tri-Tip beef a California favorite. Hey, I just wanted to thank everyone at Publix for being one of the only grocery stores to stay open during the Hurricane Florence scare in Summerville. When most places where closed you remained open to provide the food we needed. Thank you. read more

They need more than one person in the deli dept to assist customers with making subs. It takes too long for them to be made. Some people are on lunch breaks and don't want to waste their lunch break in line waiting read more

This store is hit or miss for me. Some days the service is great and others not so much. today was one of those days, stopped in to grab some items that were in sale. I had a coupon and the cashier couldn't figure out how to use it, she then responded that it wasn't a valid coupon. It was a Publix coupon that I had just received at the customer service counter. She called over another employee who told her how to ring up the coupon, the cashier looked at me and then said "I guess it was valid." I told her that I knew it was and then she gave me my total, somehow she accidentally erased the coupon and had to go through the entire process again. read more

Its a grocery store, but its clean and the selection Great spot for sandwiches for the office, best crab leg deals in town. Always a little pricey, but the quality definitely shines at this one. Some of the girls in the deli could use an attitude check. Its a joke at our office how horrible they can be sometimes. read more

I've never really been a huge fan of Publix as I've always thought they were overpriced on a lot of their items. However, their staff is always super friendly and helpful. Additionally, during the most recent hurricane where mandatory evacuations were ordered, Publix stayed open and helped keep some normalcy in the community when a lot of people were going crazy. Huge shout out to Publix for being there for our community when every other place closed for several days. read more

Publix generally has a reputation for being expensive, but if you shop generic products and take advantage of sale items you end up saving a lot of money. One of the best things about publix is that if they are having a sale that is 2 for $5.00 you don't have to buy 2 of the product to get the sale price. When you buy one it rings up as $2.50. Most grocery stores don't offer this. I'm pretty happy with their meat department, you can special order a whole pig with no problem. read more

The butchers are very helpful, they will cut any pieces to order. I would recommend them for speciality cuts.

Great hot food on the go, Deli sections subs are the best. Cashiers and baggers are very friendly and will take your cart out to your car if you'd like. I normally don't do a lot of shopping so I just take my one bag and go lol. But when I go have a cart full it is nice to not worry about the loading process, they take care of that. read more
