Publix Super Markets

Everyone is so friendly here! The Deli is a little bit slow– which is annoying at times. because who doesn’t LOVE Pub Subs!!! Lydia in the Bakery is awesome– always smiling & great with my kids! Cashiers are always helpful & kind as well =)

Always have a great experience here. They are very friendly. Love the girl that works at the little cooking station. She’s so enthusiastic!
I prefer publix over any grocery store here in town.
It is very busy, but they are friendly!

customer service is non existent in THIS Publix. in fact the folks at the «customer service» desk would serve this store better if they worked the loading docks. I am going to go out on a limb and say that perhaps if they had a decent customer service manager, the staff may then follow her lead, but since they have a clown as a leader, what can we expect from the rest of the circus? It’s amazing how different the Florida Publix’ are from the ones in Beaufort and Bluffton, it’s as if they don’t receive the same training and aren’t held to the same standards. they’ve moved into a larger building across the street, but a nicer, larger building does not make up for the lack of even a small amount of professionalism. and actually, the ARC employees at this Publix are more customer service oriented than the so called ‘normal’ employees. it’s pretty sad.

This store itself is just ok. The customer service, especially those females that work as front area management and supervisors are completely unprofessional and not at all up to Publix standards. This store does not have an organic section and has a limited supply of organics mixed in with the rest of the food. The parking is horrendous. The parking lanes are tight and limited. This store will be moving across the street into a larger building, I’m hoping to see big changes.

We travel a lot and haven’t been to a Publix in along time. I remember now why we stopped going to them. Their prices are ridicules. And no I hate Wal Mart. The store is not the cleanest, the isles are very narrow. The bag of potatoes chips were marked, on the bag from the factory, $ 4.29. They charged, yep! You guessed it. $ 4.29. Most stores are $ 2.50 to $ 2.99. No we won’t be going back to Publix.

My husband has a fondness for Publix grocery stores based on his good experiences with one many years ago when he was living in Coral Gables, Florida.
This one however was not quite up to par with his fond memories but was still reasonably good as chain supermarkets go.
It seems that this may be the best supermarket in this town and it is clean, nicely stocked and spacious. It certainly is a busy place.
However, having gotten used to always having a Whole Foods at my beck and call, this is a bit of a disappointment in it’s ordinariness. And just for the record, the nearest Whole Foods is in Charleston, over an hour plus away. :-(
No grass-​fed meats here for me although I didn’t talk to anyone at the meat counter so in all fairness I do not know if those products can be ordered. I did not see any. No real specialty items nor a wide enough range of organic produce.
I was disappointed in the deli counter. We planned on an al fresco picnic one day and ordered a couple of what we thought were top of the line cold cuts. When we got the packages from the deli clerk, we only later saw on the label that the meats had additives listed which were not advertised at point of purchase as the meats were being sliced or at any point.
So for example, the roasted turkey breast had tapioca starch in it and the ham had something else in it that I can’t recall now. I would never have purchased these items had I known. Why are these things not mentioned somewhere prior to having the deli person slicing the meat and packaging it up for you? Ugh!
The staff here was friendly at all points we encountered them throughout the store. The parking lot was a bit tight and tricky to navigate but we liked that lots of trees were left standing as the amount of shade provided is impressive. That shade makes getting into your car on a hot South Carolina day a bit easier.
This place does the trick for a lot of basic stuff but it would be tough for me to rely on this store for most of the kinds of foods I buy regularly.
Whole Foods… come to Beaufort!
(RIP James Gandolfini!)

Their bakery and fried chicken taste x10 better than the food lion next door. Granted it is food lion…
The selection is on point and you can find a lot of good ingredients like mascarpone cream or risotto rice, however shopping here is kind of pricy for the area. Last time I checked Beaufort, SC was kind of a poor area but the stores around it are priced as if everyone was middle to upper class. So I assume everyone is selling drugs to each other to make it or there are a bunch of young and dumb sailors with bookoo money and no taste/​brains.
The grocery store is one of the cleaner ones around the area and some of the cashiers are solid 7 – 8’s which is always a plus in my book. Just hope their not jail bait –_–

This is random for a grocery store, but I would imagine this parking lot is worth its weight in gold in the hot months of summer. There is a ton of shade here, and lots of foliage to save you from cooking yourself to medium rare on your leather seats.
Service was great, I forgot to grab a bag of ice, and when a lovely young lady saw I was going to have to wait another 10 minutes in line for one item, she came and got me, opened a register for me, and checked me out. That was so outside the norm of how businesses are ran today, and I was really impressed.

I love Publix. It is the closest thing I can get to a good grocery store since leaving San Antonio. The deli is good, my husband loves their tea, and I love their pimento cheese! The produce is always fresh. The cashiers are really nice. It is a little higher priced than Food Lion but they have a nice clean store and it is worth the little extra for sure. I work late and just wish they stayed open a little later but then again everything around here seems to shut down by 10! They get 4 stars bc the parking is HORRIBLE. If you drive anything bigger than a mid size car there isn’t really room for parking. The parking lot is very pretty though. lol

Great selection of products and always clean. Always pretty busy so don’t be suprised at a longer check out experience. May possibly have the most poorly designed parking lot of any store… anywhere!

This Publix is ALWAYS packed, and for good reason.
First of all, it’s the only decent grocery store in the area. Thank you, THANK YOU, Publix, for opening about 10 years ago so we no longer have to go to the Food Lion to stock up prior to hitting the beach. Even the dingiest of Publixes is better than a Food Lion, trust me.
While it’s not the biggest store I’ve ever been in, they do seem to have pretty much everything you’d need. A decent sized produce department, a solid deli for those super tasty Publix subs, and a beer selection that always serves my time at the beach well. The parking lot can be total madness with the crazy suburban soccer moms wheeling their Suburbans around (sorry, that was probably my mom), but once inside the cashiers are typical small-​town southern friendly and you manage to slink a little bit further in to «island time.»
Plus, they’ve got live oaks with spanish moss in the parking lot, and it’s just about the prettiest grocery store I’ve ever seen.
