Clean publix. Not super stocked but I was able to get a few things I needed. Prices were decent which was nice since it's a beach town.

The made to order food area is convenient for those who don't want to cook. The meat section is tiny! read more

The staff in this store are very kind and helpful. It's a breath of fresh air when you patronize a business and they treat you like they appreciate your business. Great job, folks! read more

I shop at least once a week at Publix Oak Island and truly love the store even though it is more expensive because of the friendly staff and great customer service. Today I stood at the deli counter while 3 people behind the counter totally ignored me. No greeting or I will get back to you in minute. One individual was behind the sandwich counter with no customers and the other 2 were slicingitems. The first one finishes and then goes off to talk with 2 other Publix employees, the second one finally makes eye contact and helps me. The large younger girl with mid length hair and glasses who some type of a manager, just stood by talking with the female assistant produce manager and doing nothing to help. I realize working the deli counter is hard work and I always make sure I am polite to the staff. Disappointed. read more

Nice clean store. They had a pineberry tasting station. Yummy! My first time trying the new fruit. Judy in the deli did a wonderful job and was right on point with my selections. Ann was kind and helpful too! I'm not that sharp at using self checkout, but she was right there and jumped right in to make my visit exceptional! I left feeling good with a smile that I was well taken care of! Thanks Ladies! read more

Typically we grab a sub to share before heading to the beach . This morning at 10:15, with no one in line we had to wait 15 minutes for the deli attendant to complete orders that to be picked up at 11:30, before he could take care of us. These pick up were chicken tender subs that are held hot, Not sure why they would prioritise orders for an hour and fifteen minute later pick up when there were 4 people waiting by the time someone else helped out. read more

On vacation for a week, probably went Into this location 7-9 times. These lPeople deserve a service award,Every day / everytime , everyone said hello and how may I help you? The first few times I just thought it random, but every single time the workers make sure they are aware of your presence and greeted you no matter what they were doing. i've been in a lot of supermarkets in a lot of different towns & k cities and states, and I have to say this Publix was amazing. It was also clean and well organized everyone had a smile on their face and was kind & HELPFULL. I literally felt like I was on another planet. read more

To be honest, I thought Publix was a thing of the past since I had never noticed one in North Carolina. My only recollection of Publix is when I was a young man, I would go visit my grandparents who had a condo in North Miami Beach in the seventies and eighties. My grandparents lived for prune juice to keep them regular in the morning and thought that Publix had the best variety. So whenever I visited them, I would zip over to the Publix with my grandparents and all the other local seniors for the prune juice bonanza. Needless to say, up until now whenever I heard of Publix, it made me want to go to the bathroom! Lo and behold, Oak Island built a new Publix the end of last year and so I decided to strap on my KN95 and see what was inside besides prune juice while I was down at the beach As the saying goes, "You've come a long way baby!" The place is immaculate. From the moment you arrive there is plenty of signage about COVID and being safe, not to mention an attendant who personally wipes down your wagon for you as you arrive. So goes the rest of your experience there. You interested in meat? There is personnel to help you make a decision. You interested in a baked good? There is staff to show you your options. Want to be regular in the morning? They still have plenty of prune juice!! Not feeling like cooking, I headed over to their hot food counter and for less than $10 got a nice portion of pulled pork (don't tell my Rabbi), macaroni and cheese, carrots, huge portion of onion rings and a Hawaiian roll. I headed over to the bakery section and got myself a big New York style black and white cookie. Mmmm! Don't tell any of this to my trainer who thinks all I eat at the beach is fresh fish and vegetables! Even though I went to self-checkout, there was an attendant there to help make it go smoothly, and of course they offered to carry my meal to my car. I declined the help not only because I can still carry my own dinner, but I wanted to pop a couple of onion rings in my mouth the second I walked out of the store! Although prices are a little bit higher than the Food Lion down the street, one cannot underestimate what a pleasurable experience it is shopping at a Publix. The store is incredibly inviting, the staff is outstanding, the food is top quality, they have inventory that you will not find in lower-priced stores and if you shop the specials, prices are even comparable. And those onion rings!! If you are down on Oak Island and need the basics, Food Lion will work just fine, but if you are wanting something of a higher quality or just want to have a nice experience during the pandemic, walking up and down those aisles is an absolute pleasure! I headed back to my little cabin on the island and sat on my screen porch watching the birds eat out of the feeder listening to the ocean breeze and enjoying a delicious Publix dinner. Unfortunately, the onion rings did not even make it back to my house. Next time I buy a double portion! read more

Publix Super Market - Clean as a whistle, safe as possible and a delight to the senses!! - Grocery Near Me - Oak Island, North Carolina

See all

I miss the south and what I miss the most are Publix Super Markets. The stores are always easy to shop in, the employees are always friendly and they are well stocked. In my humble opinion they have the best bakeries. Every cake I have ever had from a Publix was a 10. I ordered a cake online and it was incredibly easy. We were in and out in 5 minutes. Self checkout is never busy and there is always someone to help. This store is just the tops. And it's just as amazing as all the other Publix's I've been to in the past. read more

PubSubs speak for themselves, but all the pre-fab food is good. This store has everything you would expect from a Publix, though it is not the biggest Publix in the world. The staff working here are the kindest I have found anywhere.
