Publix

Very clean store with an incredibly friendly staff. Every single person with whom I come in contact smiles and wishes me a good day. How can you not love that?

Love Publix — don’t shop here much but when I do I truly love the large selections here and how clean the store is even during peak hours. I do wish the liquor store was open a wee bit later on weekends, but hey — maybe it’s a sign :))

I absolutely love the way this Publix is laid out. I like to shop in places where I feel like I’m going to have fun while I’m doing it, so this is stuff I really pay attention to (weird, right?).
This particular visit here was to get some lunch on my break from work, so I headed over to where I could get a fried chicken meal. The line had about 2 people in it and 2 gentleman (same group) were being helped at the sandwiches — oh, and they were ordering for an entire office so the poor people in front of me had been waiting through 5 – 6 sandwiches to be made. Luckily they were finishing up when I joined the line. I waited another 5min to be helped, but I swear it felt longer.
I got my 2pc friend chicken meal with mac n cheese and potato wedges (and complimentary roll), grabbed a green tea, and headed to the register to pay. I hopped in line in the 10 Items or Less register and there were, again, 2 people in front of me. After about 30sec the cashier lady told me to go the Customer Service desk by the front to get checked out. When I got there a gentleman pretty much raced me to the line to ask a Western Union transaction question to the woman there, so there I waited again. A shift leader or supervisor of some sort saw me waiting, but didn’t acknowledge me. The woman came back and didn’t acknowledge me until she caught me staring at her and THEN asked if I needed help. I asked if she could check me out and she did.
Since I was on my lunch break I rushed to my car and just decided to eat it quickly in there. After all those obstacles standing between me and my craving for fried chicken, it was all worth it after one bite! I really do not think anything compares to Publix fried chicken, it’s so delicious!
Lunch was a #win and I love Publix.

One thing I LOVE about Publix is that *most* of them carry on the ways of the traditional mom ‘n’ pop grocers, even if they don’t shove it in your face. A lot of the staff have the capabilities to help you out with more than you think. Just ask! :) I think being able to still foster a relationship with your butcher or fish monger is important even if those stand-​alone establishments are becoming increasingly few and far between due to modernity and the ever-​present WalMart, and the majority of Publixes share this facet (there are still tons of fish markets in northeast FL, but I digress…) This Publix is no different.
It’s clean and well-​stocked most of the time. Nice employees. Liquor store is attached. However, what I love most about this Publix is its proximity to my apartment. It’s right on the corner of Beach and Kernan, and living in the District on Kernan means that I can jump in my car and be there in 2 minutes or hoof it on a nice day and get there in around 10. This makes it easier and more feasible financially to buy the food I need when I need it, instead of going on a huge shopping trip, risking some things going bad.
Only complaints: Publix is a bit more expensive than most places. It makes sense, mostly, though. The younger cashiers can be happier. I know you just had a long day at Fletcher or UNF or whatever and you hate your life, but still…
Tip to the buyers at this location: order more Calbee Snapea Crisps Lightly Salted. Pleeease. I’ll buy them! Those things are like crack and I don’t like having to stock up at Whole Foods when they’re on sale. Lol

My favorite Publix! So close to home, right by the restaurant where my best friends work, its got a liquor store, and come on: its publix! The staff here is impossibly friendly and helpful, and the bakery and seafood sections will always answer your queries, big and small (and often give you very great advice and suggestions!). Not to mention they have my favorite icecream, a publix exclusive «party time!» Birthday cake flavor. Mmmm… youve gotta try it, if you can handle the gallon sized tub lol ;)

My fav place to shop;good produce, good meat. The staff are always friendly and the meat market employees are helpful. Any time is ask got a special item, they try their best to get it.
It’s clean and a great place to shop.

Great staff and customer service

Best customer service! Employees are patient, polite and helpful!

Love my local public…

In every aisle hangs a banner that says, «Love to shop here». Not sure the Hallmark greeting card kitschiness was intentional, but let’s face it. There’s nothing radical about this grocery store. It’s good. They don’t offer everything like some supermarkets but have a nice variety of product. The prices are reasonable. The environment is well staffed and tidy.
What makes this place special is that this is your neighborhood grocery store. The service is far better than OK. The customers know the staff members by names because this is their familiar shopping place. The people who work here are close to home; they either live or go to school nearby and it shows in the cheery neighborly way they interact with their customers.

So far, this is my favorite grocery store in Jacksonville. I have been to other Publix (ok, every other one near my house) and have left disappointed each time until I tried this one. It’s a little further away but worth the drive. And I love the attached liquor store, very convenient for those of us who partake.

Love Publix stores! I’ve never been inside any of their locations that weren’t well-​stocked, clean, and friendly.
But this store stands out for their customer service. I’ve had countless good experiences here, but the stand out comes for the one occasion when I was looking for a special kind of jam to make my husband a dessert, and what was clearly a manager, or some higher-​up in a suit with a clipboard (looked as if a group of them was on some sort of training tour), stopped what he was doing to come over and ask if he could help me.
I live elsewhere now, but really really miss the friendliness and good selection of Publix.

Its a very clean grocery. It’s easy to find what you’re looking for, and the staff is very helpful.
Especially in the bakery department. I wanted to make my son a custom Star Wars cake and they were so helpful to come up with something even though Publix stopped carrying Star Wars cake designs.
Also, if you are sick, they have a FREE antibiotics program. I got my medicine free yesterday. No catches, no having to buy anything else.
The only reason why there are 4 stars instead of 5 is that Publix stopped carrying crepes, and they are more pricey than Winn Dixie.
