Publix Terrace Ridge Plaza # 53rd Street I had my prescriptions transferred over to this location and it was such a smooth and hassle free transition and the pharmacy technicians we so friendly and thorough. I am definitely sticking with this location, thank you guys for making my shopping for here a pleasure! read more

Publix is our go-to grocery store. We have shopped at various branches and have never had any complaints. The staff is always friendly and ready to assist customers with any questions or needs. The stores are consistently clean and well-organized with clear aisle markings indicating the location of each grocery item. What sets Publix apart is its bakery section. Hand-made breads and fresh produce are always delicious, and their cakes are our personal favorite. Overall, we highly recommend Publix for your grocery needs. I have always had a hassle-free checkout experience at Publix, aided by their diverse payment options. Additionally, their loyalty program offers users discounts upon signup. What's more, I have consistently found Publix products to be fresh and of high quality, making shopping there a great experience. read more

Awesome liquor selection and the employees were great! Always clean and well stocked.

The most horrific Customer Service in ALL Departments it is inept. Totally untrained. Make you feel unwelcome, doesn't know their products nor where it is located. And REFUSE TO HELP YOU. The pharmacy hires who knows who and are ridiculous and at times breaks the law by holding scripts. There is a LAW in Florida that this activity by a Florida Pharmacy is illegal. Due to unknown weather issues. The whole store is dreadful. An awful experience gives my wife panic attacks (disabled vet) and me Senior Orthotic Tech w/ Shriner Hospital for Children. In addition huge fans of what 47 is doing on grocery prices. Greedy MEAN Store. A bha humbug staff! read more

The store itself is fine. Customer service, management, and inventory are grossly lacking. If you have deli employees tripled-up making subs while there are multiple customers collecting dust in line for the cold cuts & cheese section of the deli with one employee, allocate your people properly. Need help with that? The Deli Manager can actually step out of the office and supervise where support is needed, not to mention get off his lazy ass, put some gloves & a cap on, and serve the customers. Produce Manager, here's a novel idea: If you're going to have specials, you might want to consider stocking the shelves with those specials. It usually looks better than empty holes because the stock people blocked off sections to cover up what you should have ordered. Front Service Desk/Store Management: If there is a line at the service counter and only one employee, telling everyone waiting, "Someone will be right with you," doesn't quite cut it. Also, if a manager sees that the service counter is overwhelmed with a single employee, get behind the extra register and handle it. Don't ask a customer, "Have you been helped, yet?" If someone had helped us, we wouldn't still be standing in line waiting for management to step up and provide support. Get it together. read more

Great store. Love the self checkout options. Deli gets backed up pretty quickly. Organized store with friendly employees. Sushi is always fresh. read more

It's Publix, so things can't be too bad here. Publix is a pretty great grocery store as you can tell from other reviews from people who live out of state and wish they had a Publix in their city. This Publix is the closest one to where I live so I shop here quite frequently, but it's not my favorite Publix. The store itself is a bit older and dingy but other than that they carry great products and the service is good here. All the the things I love about Publix is the deli selections and how they let you sample the different meats and cheeses, the bakery is always pumping out delicious fresh breads, the sushi available is decent, and of course Publix subs always hit the spot. I also enjoy the fresh flowers available for purchase, and every now and then I catch a sample of a Publix recipe being offered. read more

It's absolutely annoying that I waited 15mins until it was my turn because Publix Deli is always understaffed.....they had one person working on online orders and the other attending the rest. Once it's my turn, I asked for a chickens tender sub. The young girl walks away to look for some and then informs me there's none for another 15mins. She didn't even offer any solutions which reflects her training and management is responsible for her poor customer service. What kind of management is this. I stopped doing online orders because they were wrong or never ready when I get there. Instead of having a pita chips display, why doesn't Publix add two more sandwich stations and more staff....But in all honestly, they should be communicating to each other if they ran out of food. Like I said it's poor management. read more

Lotto line is ALWAYS delayed by a red headed lady, Kim. Just describing her so you know who it is. She's slow to count, always requires additional support, never very friendly. Not sure why they don't take her off these duties as she ties up the line and never seems to improve in the 2+ years of going to this location. I only go here because it is close, but with all the delays, her lack of training or lack of comprehending how to perform her job function, this is a deal killer. I could easily drive 15 miles away and be done in the same amount of time that it takes her to reconcile her multiple counts and have her coworkers solve her repeated missteps. (Loading register paper, lotto machine jamming, etc) fix this issue or just put her behind a register where no counting takes place and this location is easily three or four stars. Management, get with it and get Kim away from the little line, she's a mess! P.S. So after she acknowledges me, no remorse for the super long wait or the delay she is directly responsible for, she proceeds to help me with an unpleasant attitude, and then complains to her coworker that she is about to go on break. Listen, you are making people wait through your own lack of understanding of your job functions so if I have to wait, the least you could do is greet us kindly and also not complain about your break coming up. The issue is you're killing hours on the clock and causing customer displeasure. Not sure how she still has a job. read more

Walked through this store as part of a business exercise, and while it's not one of the most updated ones I've seen pictures of, it's nice enough. Good size, aisles are pretty wide, and friendly staff. Apple Pay didn't work at the register, which was unfortunate, but checkout was painless other than that. read more

I am absolutely a fan of this Publix. It's easy to get to for me, being a right turn off Fowler or an easy left turn off 53rd St. in Temple Terrace. Publix has a handful of familiar layouts so if you shop at Publix all the time you know the layouts of each store. It's easy to find what you're looking for. This is a nicer Publix without being a super fancy Publix. You'll know where everything is without getting confused like you might at the biggest fancy Publix's. For people who might live in South Temple Terrace or outside of Temple Terrace to the south, say 56th and Hillsborough or East Lake Park, let me say that this Publix is much nicer to visit than the Publix on the corner of 56th and Busch Blvd. Trust me, it is worth the extra 5 minutes to drive down to this Publix, where you have plenty of space in the store and a much more spacious parking lot. read more

I wish Publix management taught their new hires how to treat their customers. In the past, you'd get at least a smile or acknowledgement that you'd made your transaction but not anymore. Today no word from cashier. I initiated a thank you and I received a dead pan stare from her. Last week same thing except the cashier said "yep" after I thanked her for ringing me up. At least she made clear her feelings about her job. This is yet another reason these kids are going to be the reason automaton takes over. No interpersonal skills whatsoever. Sad. It all starts at the top. There are still some polite people working there and hopefully they'll rub off on these new snobs. read more

I missed my Publix while away on a travel nurse assignment. I went to get a few things and spoke with Chris who was stocking the aisle. As I was trying to decide on an item, a woman and ~10y/o walked by without a mask. I said, "Whoa! Why aren't you wearing masks?" I was ignored and before I left the aisle, I asked Chris if people aren't required to wear masks. He said they couldn't enforce it since it was not a law. I said the company can make policies. He just shrugged. At checkout, I asked the cashier and bakery manager if it was true that didn't enforce mask wearing and was told the same thing. A manager made his way to my register (I didn't ask for him) and said that corporate has passed it down that they would not enforce mask wearing. He said that if someone came in without a mask they would offer them one but couldn't force anyone to wear one. I said that if someone refuses to wear a mask then you ask them to leave. He said they couldn't do that because of corporate. I told him that that is a huge punch in the face for nurses. I have since shopped at Winn Dixie which has the following sign: read more

Publix - Winn Dixie sign... - Grocery Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I'm gonna be petty, and leave a review for this Publix. What I will say is that as far as the workers go, everyone is very nice, smiles, and is generally pleasant. With that being said, I generally only come here for fresh produce and things I can't get from Winn Dixie, because I'm not partial to Winn-Dixie's unpredictable produce selection. As far as price goes, stuff from Publix can low-key start to add up exponentially. If I got everything on my grocery list that I needed from here, I might as well go to Whole Foods or Fresh Market instead. Don't be fooled just because it's not a speciality store, depending on your selection stuff from Publix can add up quickly. I also don't think that the meat/fish selection warrants the prices that they charge you. Might as well go to Whole Foods, and spend a few more of your coins to get something better. Thank you, next. Location wise I try to limit coming here, because getting in and out of here is a pain. The parking lot is also small as hell, and people like to strut in the center of each isle. I think the layout of the Fowler store is better, and they have a bigger and better selection. But I will continue to come here if I'm feeling lazy, because it's closer to me and less of a drive. read more

I go to the Terrace Ridge Publix all the time. Get great service and assistance when I need it. Management and staff are amazing. Temple Terrace has a great place to shop. All departments are wonderful and split things to the right size for you. read more

I went in for another chicken tender sub special per usual however this time the experience that I got at the deli was one of the best If not the best experience I had here. Dina was the one making my sandwich, I come to this location quite often but I haven't seen her before. She handled 5 chicken tender subs fully loaded in the middle of a Friday night rush and did it with a smile on her face. She went above and beyond and accommodated for all the different toppings and extra requests. Dina you are one of a kind! read more

My local publix is my go to grocery store. I go every Sunday for my grocery shopping for the week. The staff is friendly and the products they sell have great quality. Today's visit was to buy my parents anniversary cake. The bakery has so many options I chose the fruit tart to celebrate this special event. The fruits were fresh and the tart itself was delicious. It was light and very good with a cup of coffee. Publix delivers again. Thanks for your great service. read more

I love this Publix. A new cashier, Anita was very nice and helpful. Management has also been very friendly and accommodating. Brett is the only name I remember but he is so friendly and always smiling. Great place to shop! read more

The staff at the store walked my groceries out and helped me load the car. If this isn't a true Welcome to Florida then I don't know what is! It was a pleasant surprise. This store is also extremely clean and lines moved super fast. Thank you! read more

Although this particular Publix is not open 24 hours (which usually all of them are), I kinda like this publix. I usually do most of my grocery shopping at Wal-mart and just get the few things that I can't find at Wal-Mart at whatever grocery store near. Going to this Publix was a pleasant surprise. Their selection was more than expected!!! I was in grocery heaven! On top of that, when I got ready to check out, I thought I was gonna have to fill out some form to get a "Publix card" to take advantage of the sale prices, but the cashier told me that you don't need a card!!! WOW!!! Publix, I think I'm in love!!! read more

Do not have any prescriptions filled here. I am a nursing professional my daughter had her prescription transferred from Land O Lakes to this location due to moving. She was treated with such disrespect and judgement. The "pharmacy Tech" told her it was scary that she was trying to get her prescription filled early when she was just transferring it. This is a blatant example of prejudice and unprofessionalism on the part of this Publix location. Do yourself a favor and go some where else. There are those that need to be on controlled substances. My daughter suffers from epilepsy. Never allow anyone to pass judgement on your medical condition. read more

Your basic grocery store with a bit of extra customer service and a wider selection than other local stores.

I would definitely shop at this location again. read more

Went to the pubix store on 53rd today in tampa these people are crooks and price gougers stealing from all us citizen's grocery stores should be related I bought 4 items at a cost of over $25 the law should do something about this but they are also in cahoots with those THIEVES. read more

don't understand why this Publix is the worst Publix I've been to. Consistently disappointed and it's so frustrating. What is the point of ordering online ahead of time only to have to wait another hour for my order? And then I was told that for the inconvenience it would be free but it wasn't and I paid the full amount. I waited for what? I was told that I would be given it free but I wasn't and I was late to work. This the 5th time I've had problems with ordering from the sub place and I'm tired of it. I tell my friends and family to stay away from ordering here unless they have nothing better to do because they're just going to get bad service. I'm livid. Absolutely livid. read more

Coming from the midwest and east coast, you southerners are spoiled. People will cheerfully offer to take the cart to your car?! Shocking. Is this 1957? Everyone is pleasant and cheerful, overly helpful in fact, I asked for cheesecloth and was taken to its exact spot when an aisle indicator would've sufficed. They stock Heinz beans! I can have beans on toast again. This is the Publix my grandma goes to rather than the one on Busch. This one is supposedly less "ghetto". Can't imagine, I've been to plenty of Publix in my short time back in the FLA and they are all magnificent. The fact that they take Target coupons gives it an extra star. read more

This Publix is very different from the other ones I've shopped at, which is odd because I thought they all followed the same template when it comes to customer service and making shopping a pleasure and all that. It seems the staff-or at least a good portion of it-isn't so friendly at this store, especially at the deli/sub station. I will say that they consistently have the longest lines for Pub Subs at any given time of day but that's still no excuse. Knowing this, I decided to pre-order my sub online, thinking this would alleviate most of the inevitable waiting. Turns out-they never made it, along with the subs belonging to the other hangry people standing there who had also pre-ordered. One of them looked at me and said, "This happens all the time! Online ordering is a joke at this store!" So I grabbed a pre-made sub and left. If it's not the deli, it's the stock-people leaving a cart full of unpacked product in the aisles, which is also somewhat consistent with this store. Now when I have to shop, I make a game out of it and get in and out as fast as possible. I would shop somewhere else but it's too close and convenient not to shop here. On an up note, they do have self-checkout, which I absolutely love. That, and the beautiful ladies that work there . read more

I shop here pretty frequently and the service is always great. The employees are great and personable. The shelves are stocked and organized and they generally have what I need. When you get the bogo deal it is the best! They have them frequently and when they do it is worth it. The produce can be quite pricey from time to time. Something else to watch out for is the white stripes outside in the parking lot on the ground when it is raining. They can become rather slippery. read more

I love Publix. The people are great. Parking is easy. The variety is great. They have Boars Head at the deli. I could go on. But this Publix is particular is frustrating me more and more with the out of stocks on sale items. It's hard to plan shopping trips using the sales flyer when 6 out of 8 of the sale items I go in planning to buy are out of stock. I've tried going on different days and times yet I encounter the same problem. It's a pain to spend 10 minutes while my frozen food is melting to get rain checks for the out of stock items. I hate to get hung up on one complaint but it ruins a great shopping experience every time. read more

The location of this Publix is great in reference to USF. I like that you can get to it from the back roads(50th street) and avoid the busy main roads like fowler and 56th street. I come here for the weekly 'bogos' or buy 1 get one free items. The friendly staff and clean store make me come back time after time. The fruits and veggies are in the back left corner when you walk in, so you have to walk through the entire store if you just need a tomato for a recipe. I always buy their vegetarian items like morning Star but find it frustrating that their vegetarian and vegan items are in two different locations. Overall, it's a great local Publix to shop at!! read more

This Publix is always clean and has very friendly staff. The deli makes delicious sub sandwiches and is always very busy. Thankfully they move quickly so you usually don't have to wait too long. One of the highlights of this location for me is the "Apron Meals" stand that prepares samples around dinner time. They always have recipe cards for the food they are cooking, and the ingredients are all conveniently located in the refrigerated right next to the stand. It makes preparing a nice dinner quick and easy. read more
