Publix

I like this publix. Spacious large variety, very friendly and lovely employees who smile and take time to talk to you.

This newer Publix is beautiful, clean, well stocked, really about everything you know and love about Publix. I truly wish they would take this model, and put it in Apopka for me (not that our Publix is bad, just not this fantastic). The staff is quite courteous and helpful, they an immaculate bakery and deli section, and the subs are of course amazing.
Downsides here are the parking, it can be a bit cramped to get one of the closer spaces. The other thing I noticed is they truly were thinking when they did the layout for the store. If you go down the produce aisle, you will have to walk all the way around to the wine area before even getting to the main section of groceries.

Dry-​Ice!!! Wasnt sure where to find dry ice. Someone said publix. Apparently not all of them carry it though. This location does. So now I dont have to travel to far to make awesome alcoholic drinks.
Place is clean, staff is friendly. Better then ok so 4 stars

Not really my favorite Publix (the new ones in Lake Mary and Winter Park are my current favorites, and I’m sure that the new one being constructed in Longwood/​Altamonte Springs will be added to that list once it opens), but it’s also not bad, either. I definitely think that it could use an overhaul, though — it’s been around for a long time but doesn’t seem to change much, if at all.
I stopped by here a little more than a week ago to pick up a few things. Nothing about this store really stood out to me, save for the customer service. The cashier I went to when I was ready to pay was very friendly. To be honest, though, I really came to this location only because I was in the area and the store at the corner of S.R. 434 and Montgomery/​Wekiva Springs Road is being reconstructed. I eagerly am anticipating the opening of that one …
This doesn’t really have anything to do with the store, but the parking lot situation outside of this Publix is almost catastrophic. Cars pull in and out of parking spaces from a multitude of directions. Just about every time I’ve been here, some driver is going the wrong way down a lane in the lot. When there are multiple drivers in close proximity to one another, the majority of them don’t know what to do or where to go. Cars come peeling around and into the lot from the Jamestown road (perpendicular to 434), too. Be careful if you find yourself in this parking lot. I saw a lot of perplexing driving when I recently was here … it’s a wonder that I don’t hear about frequent accidents in this parking lot. This parking lot is like a black hole for common sense.
Also, I think that the storefront pictured here is for the store at the corner of Palm Springs Road and S.R. 436. The one I’m trying to review is the store in Altamonte Springs near Lake Brantley High School and where Friendly’s used to be. Ahh … now I miss that Friendly’s a lot. It ruled.

This Publix is located in Altamonte Springs across at the intersection of Palm Springs and SR 436/​Semoran. It’s received a few remodeling overhauls over the years, the current layout has a larger, expanded deli and produce area located upfront as you enter the store. The deli staff is very nice and moves people through the counter even if there is a line. Deli sandwich staff do a nice job and call in orders are taken accurately and our office has never had a problem in 15+ years of ordering from this location.
This location features a larger, open layout throughout the large store, friendly staff and plenty of sale, featured and seasonal items in stock. Checking out isn’t always the quickest, but the staff’s friendliness makes up for any extra wait you may incur during prime shopping hours.

The staff here is very friendly and helpful and I always find what I am looking for, also checking out is quick.
I like this location and that is why I shop here a lot. I enjoy coming in here and seeing all the employees happy and really enjoying there jobs.

I definitely prefer the newly remodeled Publix in Winter Park or the one in Baldwin Park. But this one is ok. The deli is all the way in the back, so it’s not as convenient as the other Publix locations I’m used to. The pharmacy is convenient and they had the prescriptions that the Wekiva location didn’t carry.
I like the way the handicap parking spots are at the front of the store, so even without a handicap sticker you can still get a spot fairly close. It makes the quick in-​and-​out trips that much quicker!

As a Florida native, I grew up shopping at Publix. Sure, they pretty much own the grocery racket in the state, but as someone who remembers what it was like in the old days before they expanded everywhere (does anyone remember Food World in the 80s?), I can say with authority that we’re better off with them being our primary chain.
You’ve probably been in a grocery store before, so I won’t bore you with details. Here are some of the features of this store that warrant my 4-​star rating:
1. Ample parking
2. Clean store, not in a shady neighborhood.
3. Friendly and helpful employees. Almost all registers are staffed, making checkout speedy even during peak business.
4. Great selection, including a wide range of vegetarian food.
5. Sushi in the seafood section (not all Publixes have this)
6. Beer selection beyond the standard mass produced coors/​miller/​michelob crap.
7. Good bakery and produce sections.
8. Frequent deals — I notice many buy one get one free deals every time I’m there.
The only issue I’ve had here is that they have a few baggers who annoy me. There’s one guy who always critiques your food purchases… he once gave me a 5 minute lecture about how I bought the wrong kind of honey, even to the point of raising his voice. There’s another guy who’s really nice but painfully slow, and a girl who will talk your ear off.
Overall, great store. WAY better than the WD and Aldi down the road.

I don’t know. Maybe I am biased. As a former Publix employee (for 5 years) I know the way it is supposed to be done, and it is NOT done that way at this store. I have even spoken to the store manager and waited a while before I came back. It isn’t any better. Today I was at the deli. There were about 10 of us waiting and exactly 2 people helping on the counter. There were various employees seen in the back room, at least 2 filling product, and a bunch doing… I am not even sure what. They were not helping on the counter. I was displeased to see that the manager was not managing the situation at all. The 5 — 10 minute wait I should have had, turned into 30 minutes.
I expect since I do pay more at Publix to at LEAST get stellar customer service and I have found that at this Publix this is just not the case. They genuinely seem put out if you ask for help locating an item. Finally, at the very end. their last chance to make an impression on you is REALLY hit or miss. Last week our check out girl was awesome. This week, she didn’t even say hello or good bye. I certainty didn’t hear a have a nice day out of her.
I get that I barely have a choice as to where to shop for groceries. Publix is by far the best, but they are not performing to even their standards lately. I feel like I am at Walmart and if I am going to feel like I am at a Walmart, I might as well shop there. At least walking into a Walmart you KNOW you won’t get any help and the employees are rude. When you walk into a Publix I think you expect a little more. You won’t find it at this location.

Adore this Publix! I know, I know, you are thinking: «Publix are all the same» but I would have to disagree! This Publix is the closest one to my apt but that doesn’t mean I don’t have other options. However, when I am looking for a friendly staff, clean and fully stocked shopping pleasure… this is my go to!
The deli counter here is always helpful! Some Publix locations lack the attention this location gives to customer service. They always listen to my request of slicing my lunch meats thin, even though I know it’s annoying for them because it take longer but they always do it here without question. I have actually had other locations say… like paper thin? Are you sure? Listen… if you show me a slice and I say thinner… why are you asking if I am sure? If you didn’t want my opinion or want to know how I want it… then why ask?
Also, everyone cleaning or stocking throughout this location are always saying hi and asking if I need assistance. Yesterday I even got a personal thank you from the manager as I was on my way out, that was a nice touch!
This Publix really stands out to me!
