Publix

They were polite and very courteous.
They know their stuff.
They will go out of their way to get you what you need.
My experience is always great.

Great customer service and awesome subs in the deli

cool little publix with everything you need at the beach. they even have a liquor store and like all publix they are clean and friendly.

This Publix is located in St. Augustine over the bridge at Villano Beach. It is within a block from the public beach at Villano which makes it a great spot to refresh on your snacks and drinks when at the beach. They have good sales on the beer however the beer did seem a little inflated in price, but its to be expected being at the beach.
The staff were all well groomed and very friendly. Needed help finding a few things and they stopped what they were doing to guide me through the store to find what I was looking for, now that is great customer service. Everything seemed well stocked and organized and most importantly clean clean clean. The produce all looked fresh and well rotated out. The cashier was super friendly, they did card me on my alcohol purchase, so they do a good job at their job and at making me feel young lol.
All in all, if you need a grocery store while in St. Augustine or at Villano Beach, this is the place to go…
(There is a Spirit store in the same lot adjacent to the Publix just fyi if your looking for some of the harder spirits)

Very friendly staff, a bit over-​priced for some items, and not much selection in some areas of the store. It was very clean and well organized, however!

Publix at the Beach is awesome. The people are super nice and friendly + always helpful. The selection is great, weekly specials very good, and sub shop excellent. I give it 5 stars!

I have lived 4 miles north of this Publix since 2009. It used to be a 45 min round trip to get groceries. This Publix was such a welcome relief for all of us that live in the area. Clean, great service, great location.

Very clean and well organized. The staff is well dressed and they are very nice. Very professional business. Also it’s convenient and close to the beach, which is a HUGE plus.

Huge, clean and well stocked.
Friendly and helpful staffs. Get your supplies here.
REDbox available.

There IS a Publix here and it’s awesome. I can’t believe someone gave this place 1-​star just because they couldn’t find it?
It is located on Vilano beach, south of the Usina bridge, just off Vilano road. They opened in Spring 2012 I believe.
Anyways, as is true of most Publix stores, this location is clean and convenient. Great customer service. It’s a smaller location so they mostly have the necessities, they also have a variety of beach accessories, pharmacy, bakery, and the requisite deli with those famous Publix subs. My favorite feature that you don’t find at every Publix is a self-​serve trail mix/​granola wall.

This Publix store doesn’t exist. There was no any Publix.

If you’ve been reading my reviews, and I don’t know why you wouldn’t be, you would know about my love of all things Publix. Winn-​Dixie has some redeeming qualities, all the Food Lions are now closed, but Publix is far and away the best grocery store chain in the Sunshine State. Their customer service is absolutely beyond reproach, the deli RULES, and who doesn’t love their ridiculous BOGO’s every week?
There had been talk about the new Publix opening on Vilano for years– and a few months ago it became reality. To be quite honest, I’m surprised I’m the first to add this Publix in and review it. I mean, the people on Vilano were CRAVING this and couldn’t wait for it to happen. Publix delivered here and built a great store, and an awesome plaza to surround it.
The entire plaza is brand new, and it just looks like Vilano Beach. Great architecture, and the plaza is warm and inviting. Plenty of parking, and lots of other restaurants and stores are close by, especially for the beachgoing folks. This Publix is a bit smaller than the majority of other stores in the area, but it’s still packed with the great service, food, and groceries you’d expect.
I don’t really know what to point out about a grocery store– it’s got everything you’d need. Since it’s in close proximity to the beach, there’s lots of supplies here in terms of sunscreen, coolers, BBQ equipment, and water toys, but also a great selection of everything else you’d expect. And you can’t forget the deli. Publix deli subs are some of the best in town, if not the best. I challenge you to serve me a better Italian than a Boar’s Head Italian on fresh baked white bread from Publix. Top it off with a Publix sweet tea (a gallon costs like 4 cents), and you’ve got yourself a fantastic lunch. In for dinner? Try the fried chicken. Or rotisserie. Or chicken strips with some macaroni salad. It’s all good at the Publix deli.
Only thing keeping this store from being 5 stars– it is a bit smaller, and there aren’t a whole lot of registers here, so if you come during prime shopping hours, there could be a bit of a wait. There’s still a massive selection of groceries, so you will find what you need, but it’s not as expansive as other stores. Regardless, most people that shop here are tourists looking to stock up the condos or hotel rooms, so not a whole lot of people get grocery carts full of food, although you certainly could if you wanted.
I know this is the place to shop for locals living on Vilano, and if you’re visiting the beautiful old city of St. Augustine and staying in the Vilano area– make this Publix your go-​to for any groceries you may need, and don’t be afraid to ask for anything, you’d be amazed at how awesome customer service can be in this store. I love Publix, and you should too.
Fun fact– I only need to say Publix two more times to make it 15 for the review. Publix. And Publix. Where shopping is a pleasure.
