Publix

A great newer Publix with some gourmet items you won’t find at every Publix.
Very clean, deli and bakery are quick, and who doesn’t love self check/​out lanes? My only complaint is the aisles seem smaller than standard and this location is always packed. Nice having a liquor store and cooking school on site.

This is my go-​to Publix. I used to go to the Davie location for my first two years living down here. Had I known other Publix locations were much nicer, I probably would have not. The Davie location is definitely older compared to this location!
This Publix is located right before 595 on University. What I have noticed lately is the opening of LA Fitness right next to it has definitely made this Publix much more busier. It doesn’t make a difference, however, as they have plenty of registers open and employees always available for help around the store. I have seen an employee stand over a small spill of milk on the floor until it gets cleaned up and employees helping the elderly to their cars. They have an outdoor seating area that is nice for those who use the hot bar or deli during their lunch break. On the side of the building, they have their Publix liquor store which you have to access through a different door.
Since I visit this Public regularly, I usually use their side entrance which has one register for 10 items or less so I am in and out. If not, they have 4 self-​check outs located more closely to the main entrance. Don’t forget they have a RedBox machine which never has lines (I used to wait really long in the Davie location!). I have never had an issue here or seen the place dirty. How could I give a place anything less than 5 stars when I am here quite too often!

Popped into this location to grab a quick bite for lunch after a long morning of studying.
I was very impressed. If it wasn’t so difficult to get to from my house, I would frequent it more often.
It is a VERY large store. Very clean. Lots of employees around stocking, checking on people, etc. All of the shelves were fully stocked, clean, and organized.
I rushed into the bathroom and that was even clean and stocked.
The store was just so large!
The lines at the front of the store were kept short. The cashier was very nice and quick.
They have an indoor seating area if you wish to sit there and eat, and an outdoor seating area on either side of the store. The tables are covered.
Parking was pretty easy with lots of spots.
The only bad thing is that this store is located off of University, which is annoying because there is always so much traffic.
However, if I am up this way I will definitely be back!
I bet they make a bomb ass chicken tender sub!

Best Publix I’ve gone to next to the Weston Commons Publix store! Great customer service throughout the entire store… we love Mike, the Butcher! Sometimes we just go in to see him… we can come to him with any meat cooking advice.

Always my favorite! This is a newer and larger Publix. Good Bakery. Better produce. Many more organic foods and gourmet items available.

I love this Publix. I usually have to come here to pick up large orders for work. The Aprons staff has always been a delight to work with. Nothing is ever wrong and the food always is above par.
The grocery store itself is clean which is always something I notice when I shop. I love the salad bar and the hot bar.
I never have to wait in line long at check out. Plenty of open registers as well as self checkouts.
If I go to Publix, I make sure it’s this location.

This is easily the best Publix I’ve been to. The one on Nova Dr takes about half the time to get to but whenever I need more than 2 – 3 things, I go to this one. This Publix is considerably larger than most and is very well organized with a huge selection of «BOGO’s» right at the front of the store. They have a superb selection of wines, fine cheeses, meats, produce, and a great bakery and deli.
The only drawback to this Publix is that to get back on University going south, you have to turn right, then get in a short turning lane and make a U-​turn, competing with people leaving the adjacent Whole Foods parking lot. But since this is a busy intersection, the turning lane fills up fast and causes a backup into the parking lot.
Bottom line: If you’re coming from south of 595, this place is a big hassle to get to but the cleanliness, organization and selection at this Publix makes it worth it.

The Aprons Cooking School at this Publix location is awesome!
They offer a variety of classes, beginning with Demonstration classes where you sit and relax and watch the chef prepare your menu. You are able to taste the items, ask questions and you take a copy of the recipes with you. Hands-​on classes allow you to participate in cooking the items. You will also learn new skills or pick up tips along the way. After cooking, you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor (or meats, veggies, etc :)) They also offer kid (8 – 12) and teen (13 – 18) classes to teach cooking and kitchen fundamentals.
I recently went with a group of 7 as a team-​building activity for work. We participated in a Hands-​On class, which was great fun. The chef and sous chef were knowledgeable and entertaining and made sure to include everyone and give tasks that matched their experience and skill levels. We are a fairly loud/​rambunctious group at times and they kept us in line safety wise but also joked around with us to keep it fun.
The kitchen we were in was clean and well stocked, although one of the ovens was not working correctly (that was really the only thing wrong the whole class, but we had such a great time that I would still give it 5 stars!) We used great quality ingredients, everything was very fresh and the fruit was ripe and delicious (they are directly upstairs from a grocery store, so I wouldn’t expect anything less.)
There is an extensive series of classes offered on their calendar, ranging from one night classes to a 4 week series. They also have kids/​teens camps during the summer and have a variety of Couples Cooking classes for a unique date night idea. If you have any interest in cooking or just love to try new things, check out their calendar and sign up for a class!

Love this grocery store… it’s clean, organized, great staff and great prices.
Nothing else to say… great selection too!

I just had the most amazing experience at this Publix! While I shop at Publix often, I make it a point to go to this particular location and I have one right behind my community. I was looking for jalapenos and trying to decide which would be best for a cooking contest that I am in. That is when Jamie approached me and asked if I needed help. I didn’t think I really needed help, but I needed someone to make a decision with so many options. I told him I was using it as a garnish and he suggested I use fresh jalapenos not pickled. I agreed and he personally took me over to the produce department and while he was doing so, said I could make a jalapeño flower to plate my dish. He got a knife and cut the jalapenos right there in front of me and told me what to do to make the flower grow. He also had another suggestion for plating which was genius! I immediately called my boyfriend and told him I had met a spectacular person at Publix! Once he realized it was not him, I told him the story and I’m more confident that I can win the competition. I returnef hom, unloaded my groceries and felt so positive about my experience, that I called the store and spoke with the manager who I’m sure is used to dealing with complaints. I gave Jamie huge accolades for going above and beyond. It’s definitely worth driving a little further to get the excellent customer service and knowledge of this particular store.

I love Publix! I’m am such an advocate of this chain and really do think shopping here is a pleasure. Yes they’re pricier than the other super markets, but you’re paying for quality, when it comes down to it.
I venture in many Publixes but this one is by far my favorite (sad because the Hialeah location can learn a thing or two).
This Publix has everything you need!
A cheese bar
Winery sort of
Bakery with an assortments of delicacies and not to mention the option to order cakes for a simple bday or your wedding!
I order my subs for lunch online and they always make them with love and timely! When I go pick it up, I find that their deli always had something cooking. You have to try their hot bar! I’ve had the blackened Tilapia and veggies. The texture of the fish was perfect and the flavor was just right. Blackened, so spicy but not over barring!
I check out at the line and I’m always greeted with a smile! Love this Publix, if you’re in the area, come visit
Enjoy!

Has to be one of the best publix I’ve been to, Not only do they have great customer service but they have things that I have not seen in other publixs like a hot food bar with themed foods (like Chinese-​egg rolls, lo main, fried rice) and cold ready to make foods… from chicken parm to crab and shrimp salad… lots of healthy ready to make options which I think is great (I saw turkey meatballs, grilled asparagus even turkey meatloaf)! Make sure to check this place out, lots of options, clean and always friendly cashiers, and mind you this particular publixs is a bit out of my way and I have one down the street from me. Not all publix are created equal!

I’ve always been a fan of Publix. Since visiting this particular store, I doubt I will ever shop at another Publix or at Whole Foods ever again! This Publix store has basically adopted the Whole Foods concept of fresh foods, gourmet products, and unbelievable customer service at a cheaper price that their competitor. I believe because WF is a stone’s throw away from this store, they decided the step their game up on the amenities.
I went in here on New Year’s Eve for flour to bake a cake and I walked out with gourmet brie cheese, fresh deli cuts, and some food from the hot bar. Everything looked so fresh and clean and tasty. I couldn’t resist. Unlike other store locations, this one has a meat department where you can get fresh cuts from the butcher. It’s nothing like your local butcher shop though. The person behind the counter is super friendly, give you tips on how to cook the meat, what cuts give you the most bang for your buck and just an overall helpful experience.
This store is also great for those on the gluten free, organic, all natural, non-​GMO, vegan, vegetarian, and every other specialty kick because everything is labeled with different signs so you know what’s what. It’s pretty cool! This Publix has a special place in my heart… and in my purse! Damn you specialty cheese!!!

I used to agree with the reviews of the Publix at Peters and Broward Bld, but no longer like it as much. i believe it must have changed managers or something. When it first opened, everyone walked around asking if everything was to our liking, the produce was outstanding, the checkout lines short, etc. Then, months later, everything changed.
The last two times, the lines were super long, no one was asking if things were OK and the produce, even though it looked good, was often disappointing, even when I had asked produce people to pick out something for me.
And the goodies at the prepared food counter have gone down in quality too. C’mon, Publix, if you are going to compete with Whole Foods, put your heart into it. I want to come back.

All Publix locations are not the same. I consider your average Publix to be a 3 star. The smaller, older locations, I would rate as 2 star. I don’t think I have ever experienced a 1 star Publix (otherwise, it would be called Winn Dixie;) ouch! That was kinda mean, even if it IS true. Anyway, the nicer, bigger, newer locations I would rate 4 stars. And every so often, there is a location like this one, that exceeds all expectations.
I am sure it is no coincidence that this store, which is located right next to a Whole Foods, has a self serve bar of prepared foods. I wish my Publix had this, and can only wonder if they plan to expand this concept. The deli has a large selections of salads, and such.
I have only been to this lcation once, but plan to make it part of my weekly routine now, since it’s not out of my way. From the little bit that I looked around, I could see that every department carries a larger selection than the average store. I am perticularly looking forward to exploring the cheese department. In fact, I have just decided that dinner at my house tomorrow will be a self serve buffet of all of the prepared foods, salads, and cheeses!

Holy Shiitake, this new location made me convert back to a Publix shopper! It truly feels like a Love Child of Publix and Whole Foods. The store is huge and has an amazing selection of organic and healthy alternatives that I could never find at the other Publix Stores. There’s also a nice variety of Gluten Free items, which earns them an extra star.
I still don’t buy my produce or meat at Publix, but I can honestly say that everything looked fresh and there’s much more at this store than any other store I’ve been to. The fish area was beautiful, this really stuck out to me. Everything looked Whole Foods or Reading Market (What up, Philadelphia?!) quality. Their sushi is to die for (they carry real crab), they even carry brown rice sushi. I’ve never seen this at the other locations, only at Whole Foods.
Another thing that wowed me was their Food Bar. Conveniently located by the Deli and Café, the bar has hot and cold foods that you can choose if you have a starving Spouse at home and don’t have time to cook, or you’re very opportunistic like myself and eat just to eat (you may eat in the Café area after you pay). Their She-​Crab Soup is delicious, it was practically gone by the time I got there at 2 pm on a Saturday. Since I found this gem, I’ve been here a handful of times and see the same staff members. They’re really nice and helpful, which has been a rare experience at other locations.
I always have a field day in here, shopping was truly a pleasure.

Luv’ng Publix!

If you are looking for an affordable cooking class, you need to visit this location. The only Florida Publix that currently has a full demonstration kitchen for you to book a private cooking class or participate in their scheduled cooking classes. I attended a class set up by a friend, we each paid $ 40 and there was a requirement for 10 people to hold the class. My friend picked the menu and since it was a hands on class we all got to take part in the making of the five dishes. The Chefs were personable and interacted really well with the group. I am looking forward to returning to more classes including their couples classes which I think my husband would enjoy.
Beyond the classes, there is an extensive hot bar and coffee bar in this Publix, it reminds me of stores up north and make me wish we had one like this in Miami.

I love this Publix and I’ve never said that about a grocery store.
This location is always clean, organized and well-​stocked. It’s best feature is the staff — they’re so helpful and friendly. On two separate occasions, I’ve had someone not only give advice on how to cook a certain meal, but actually walked me around to help me pick out the ingredients.
They have a great hot bar for lunch or dinner, and this might sound crazy, but they have the best chinese food! Also, I’m obsessed with their strawberries topped with mascarpone cheese in the fancy, gourmet preserve and cheese section.

One of the newest Publix’ in the Plantation is by far the best Publix I’ve ever been to. Having been recently open this year, this Publix seems to have the ultimate intangible down, that is, they offer a wider variety of foodstuffs when compared to other Publix’. From the ethnic aisle to the expansive beer selection, this place comes correct.
The people there are also VERY friendly. When my wife and I carpool to work, we like to stop off at their bakery early in the morning to get some pastelitos, croquettes and a cup of coffee which, surpringly enough is very good.
Another thing worth noting is how clean the store is and how organized they keep it. For the most part, it fits the cookie-​cutter mold of any Publix you might be used to but one cool thing that I like is that they tend to mix it up a little bit with their displays.
My only gripe is that it does get very busy on the weekends, I mean like, OVERLY busy; to the point of parking lot frustration but, it’s well worth it. So, if you haven’t been to this location check it out whenever you get the chance, well worth it.
