This is my favorite Publix. The bakery is great. I love the Butcher, he will trim up any cut of meat you want just for the asking. The store is clean and well organized with big aisles. The produce section is always fresh and well stocked. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Although, sometimes, prices can be a little high. read more

Publix Super Markets - My favorite local Grocer. - Grocery Near Me - Lady Lake, Florida

Publix...who knew it pioneered such "first" innovations as the electric-eye doors and fully air-conditioned grocery stores in America? It's also the largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the U.S., founded in 1930 in Florida, known for exceptional customer service, quality products, and community involvement. I love that there's so many locations to choose from. But, it's still second best to my Chicago born grocer Jewel-Osco! IYKYK!!!! read more

No self checkout. Lines can be long. Other than that, it's your standard Publix but why make me wait in a line? I'd walk out if I didn't need something today. read more

This is for the Publix at Mulberry Grove, The Villages I ordered a wrap from the deli. I ordered the BLT with just lettuce, tomato and double bacon on a spinach wrap. I got no tomato and a tomato wrap. A BLT consists of tomatoes! When I called to complain, no one would answer the phone. Won't be getting subs or wraps from this place again. What is a BLT without the T? read more

***** AIR FRYER ALERT ***** Now that I'm "stuck" in Florida for a while, I've decided to download every grocery store app for ALL the grocery stores in this area including BJ's wholesale etc. In the process of setting up all this info, so many times for so many apps ..... many many minutes later ... I was able to check what produce Publix has versus others and I discovered that they have these Air Fryer Pre-cut vegetables bags ready-to-go for an air fryer enthusiast like myself.... Well let's just say ...that I'm more like an air fryer newbie. I'm LOVING these pre-cut veges bags and had I know about this earlier I would have started doing this years ago ! Only around $5.00 per bag roughly and it saves me hordes of time ! I'm so so so excited about this because no other grocery store has this. We finally got Sprouts, @ The Villages and Sprouts has a ton of really great produce as well ... I love the store... but Publix is MILES ahead ... by making these pre-cut vege's bags which helps its customers save so much prep time in the kitchen. Check it out ... it's tucked away in a corner where you can barely find it in the produce section .., but it's there. read more

Please give Gage a raise, promotion, employee of the month -- allllll of it. Gage was sooooooo kind. And I was a little kid at that grocery store and his patience was unmatched. Publix got the best sandwich, iykyk. Gage had so much patience with me asking to try the jerk Turkey and honey Turkey. He made my sandwich with alll the love and attention. Thank you, Gage. Here's your . It was great chatting with you and thank you. Everyone at the market are really kind and again patient. James was AMAZING helping me check out with my indecision and running to get a bag of chips. It's a supermarket but the experience from the staff made me happy. It's clean. A lot of your daily needed items are there. You can purchase food to eat that's really good. Great experience. read more

Very disappointed in this store today. I was very loudly chastised for having too many items by the cashier running the 10 items or less register. I started to put the items back in my cart but she said no no no come on through. (by the way nobody was behind me when I unloaded) Then she and the elderly man bagging both kept repeating over and over you need to remember to go to a different check out next time. I finally said I can read the sign lady! the only other open lane was packed all the way into the main aisle, are we all just supposed to wait there while you're doing nothing???? It's never happened at any Publix I've ever visited. I will not return to this store. SMH read more

Pricing customer service. Ordered sub sandwiches paid in advance never got confirmation until the pick up time. They just received the order instead of just making it they just kept talking told her to just make it get me out of here read more

You know, I'm beginning to think Publix's doesn't really care about the customer. Here we are in the Villages, in the North end. Average age 110. Why would Publix's make saving a few pennies so damn difficult? You really want your senior Mom to lug 3- 12 packs of soda? Just to save a few bucks? Or how about giant bags of chips. Hello, we are in the humid, sunshine state. Any idea how long a bag of open chips stay crisp? About 12 minutes. Publix's, FYI, there are NO big families living here. It's just GrandMa and maybe GrandPa, they just don't have space nor can they possibly use the enormous quantities required to purchase to save money. Do Better read more

Love this grocery chain. Although we are only visiting we signed up for their discount card years ago. It always has just what we need and an awesome deli section for ready made sandwiches. The friendly staff can't be beat. read more

I purchased kitty litter one week ago that was buy one get one free. The store only had one left and was told to get a rain check at customer service which I did. I paid full price for the one box of litter since I needed it. I was told I could redeem the rain check at any Publix. I went to another Publix in my neighborhood a week later and got the other litter, rain check in hand. I was told at customer service by a rude employee that she could not honor the rain check since "we don't do it that way." She acted like I was trying to cheat the store and actually said "anyone could come in and try to do that." I said, "but they'd have to have a rain check"! I asked to see the manager and he said the same thing. He said I would have to go back and buy another one to get this one for free Or go ack to the other store. I told him I didn't want three large containers of kitty litter. Finally I took the litter out of the cart and put it on the counter and told him to just keep it. Seeing there was a crowd of people around he finally said that he was going to accept the rain check. What has happened to Publix? Employees don't seem to know store policies and then argue with you about it. I wouldn't expect this of any employee but especially not a store manager. read more

Very competent local supermarket with great service, all the typical items, plenty of parking, and right next to Spanish Springs town square area in The Villages. I prefer this Publix to the Winn Dixie in the same complex. As always, the Publix is clean, lots of selection, and things are run efficiently. The raspberries were exceptional and it says a lot about the quality of the overall produce department as they're a very delicate fruit that must be kept fresh or else they mold, attract flies, or bruise. read more

The best organic produce and items in the area. Although I have do regularly visit the others for best deals and a few of my favorites. I do visit their regularly stock organic ribeye steaks but normally they can found. With the inflow of the snowbirds, they were all grabbed up. I love my kombucha and the selection is ridiculous good. At least 6-7 brands . See photo. The parking lot is large and easy to find a spot. Even with my 23 foot RV. Minor things: The express lanes are in the middle versus the ends. read more

I'm down here in Ocala visiting my grandparents with my dad and we needed to get some food for our hotel room and so we stopped here to grab a couple things. This grocery store is clean and organized. I do think it is a big overpriced, but they had some snacks I could eat with some Kate hill almond yogurt. I will say if you are coming here for healthy food/or specific health products, go somewhere else. This location has typical grocery items it doesn't have that many protein bars or organic food items. I came in for snacks like almonds, fruit, and a bar of chocolate. There is a pharmacy, deli, and bakery located inside as well as a meat counter. Some of the shelves were picked over, but it is the day before the super bowl so I'm not completely surprised. I think this place isn't bad for a grocery store, it has the essentials. All the staff were very nice and helpful. Just watch out when you pull in, those golf cart drivers just fly by! read more

Problem is this location is jammed while all kinds of time has been wasted rebuilding the Publix one mile north. At certain times people are bumping into each other with shopping carts. Checkout lines are long at peak hours. The quality of the groceries is great. The sales are great. The hassle is a pain in the neck. read more

This is a classy supermarket. Especially for its size, it has a good selection of healthy, vegetarian, and organic foods (including frozen organic kale, which is hard to find; its availability is a test of whether a supermarket could serve as my primary grocery store). Publix is clean and well stocked, with employees who are a cut above most in courtesy and professionalism. If you have a question, it's usually an easy matter to find someone to ask. Downsides are the limited hours, with a 9 pm closing time on most nights (8 pm on Sunday), and prices that are often (though not always) significantly above what you would pay for the same item at one of the big box stores. Even with those caveats, this is the best place to buy groceries in Spanish Springs, and one of the better supermarkets in The Villages. read more

Very friendly staff. Helpful and polite. Very refreshing !! My husband and I were very surprised that all the staff acknowledged us and joked with us. We have not experienced this anywhere else. read more

Publix is second to none when it comes to service and cleanliness. The prices are not always the cheapest. However, it's convenient and you're treated very well so perhaps that is the trade-off. I choose Publix 90% of the time. I doubt that will ever change. read more

This location features a very clean interior with an excellent produce section. The parking lot could be easier to access but it is still one of the better grocery options in the area. read more

Just another GMO dealer. It's simply an over priced Walmart...same junk, priced higher...a lot higher. Almost every time I enter, I leave with only one or two things. read more
