Publix Super Markets

Up until this summer, I’d have definitely given this Publix 1 000 ⁰⁰⁰⁄₅ stars. There are a couple of reasons I had to knock off one.
1. Freshness of food — (June 2015) This was the first time I noticed something wasn’t quite right on the shelf at this Publix location. I went to the Poultry section and picked up a pound of skinless, boneless chicken breast. It didn’t look right– it was a weird yellow brown and the juice had pooled under the plastic. Looked at the sell-​by date and it was for 4 days previous. Ew. I brought that to the attention of the manager ASAP and he looked mortified. I’m just glad nobody accidentally took it home! Also, today when I went in I noticed strawberries are on sale 2 for $ 5, which is a pretty good deal. Most of them had gone soft and a little brown, but that’s kind of the point of a sale, so it didn’t bother me. What DID bother me was that there was a package of strawberries that had fuzzy green mold growing all over the bottom that was just hanging out on the shelf for someone to pick up…
2. Last week when I went in, an employee was giving out samples of Aidell chicken sausage. My 7 year old sister and I declined (I don’t eat meat on Fridays and she just doesn’t like chicken) so he started talking about how it’s organic and chemical free and all that, and then just ended it with «…and it’s definitely better than those Lunchables she has, but I guess she’s just used to that,» and turned away. Excuse me? It was rather rude but I just walked away.
Overall, I love this Publix. It’s my go-​to any time I need this week’s groceries or just the odd ingredient. The people who work there are super friendly and helpful and generally willing to go the extra mile to help me find exactly what I need. Also, I love the recipe cards you can find around the store– they’ve saved my life a few times!

Popped in after my hair cut. Chicken tenders were good but I had to wait so long for someone to help me. It was not busy so I am unsure why. Staff is nice but in no hurry to work.

I have not been to enough Publix to crown this location as the best, but I have been here on several occasions and have never had a problem with the cleanliness or employees’ attitudes or lack of desire to help.
If you need a grocery store that is close by or is on the way to some other destination, this Publix will provide almost anything that you can possibly need in your everyday life.

This is the best Public in Atlanta! Clean store, great service, and sale items are always in stock. I drive by another Public to shop at this one. Highly recommended!!!
