Publix

Asked several employees over 15 minutes during lunch to refill the forks and medium cup lids. Nobody did anything so I wasted 15 minutes of my lunch because I couldn’t get utensils for my food or a cover for my drink and had to leave without anything so I could get something somewhere else. I won’t bother visiting here for lunch any longer.

This is the worstt publix ever. i just went to the deli to order a thigh and some macncheese. pretty simple, right? not for these assholes. I’m starving because i just got done running and my job is very physically demanded. this dumb bitch behind the counter didn’t even have the styrofoam cups to put the macncheese. so she went to the back. i waited 5 minutes. she finally comes back and asks me what i want AGAIN. Mind you, there 10 people behind me at this point. then she goes to put the lid on the container and wouldn’t you know it
she didn’t have that either. so she goes back again — of course, there 6 other people behind thr counter. then 5, 6, 7 minutes go by still no word from incompetence. so i went to pick out the COLD chicken and pasta. i saw a lady there cooking food with a microwave. i asked her if she could heat up my food. nope. so i left it on her counter and said you can put it back then. don’t go to this publix unless you plan to waait all day for service.

I have a soft heart for bakeries, especially those that work under pressure, like at Publix. And if they take care your minute needs even with high traffic, thats pure bliss. This awesome lady asked me what kind of bread I wanted since it wasn’t on the shelf, and she sliced and packed it fresh right in front of me! Loved that it was all accompanied by a cheery attitude and some love for life. Good start to a great morning!

This is my Publix… close to my house, VERY close to my work. I shop here a lot. I love a lot of things about this Publix. Good selection, friendly and awesome staff, great sandwiches. Every time I have had an issue (normally when ordering cakes… not sure why I have bad luck with cakes), they rectify it fast! The parking lot is not bad, and they finally put in some cart returns, thank goodness.
The downside: It can be VERY crowded and some of the other customers are first-​class d-​bags. General politeness like «excuse me» is shocking to me when I hear it there. When I say «excuse me» to try to get by someone who is taking up the entire aisle (or even two chatty Kathy’s having a reunion near the onion rolls), I have encountered eye rolls and heavy sighs as they lumber to move their uppity bum out of the way. Most times, they just move and give you a dirty look. Every great once in a while, they smile sheepishly and say «Sorry!» and move (like a normal human). Throw in some kids tearing through the produce section while mom texts away and a few wailing banshee toddlers you can hear clear across the store from the Ice cream aisle, and that is this Publix in a nutshell. I have great admiration for the staff, who encounter these people and manage to stay professional and pleasant.

I got kicked of here the other day, I fell asleep in the soup. My narcolepsy kicked in and my grandson wouldn’t get me my medication. My hoveround also moved way too slow. The only reason this place gets three stars is because of the glory hole in the men’s bathroom.

As I spend more and more time in Westchase, I may be spending more money at this Publix.
Normally, I visit the Palma Ceia store but this Westchase location is often on my way home and once I was inside, I could not tell the difference between the two locations.
Everything was in the exact same spot: Deli, produce, wine, beer, soup, etc.
AND I loved that the parking lot was set up much better than Palma Ceia, as I had no issues finding a spot and didn’t feel like I was trying to survive a demolition derby.
Now, if Publix would just get back to the higher quantity BOGO level that they used to offer just a couple years ago, I would get back to spending as much time and money in their stores.

This is the best Publix around! Very clean and wonderfully polite employees! They did run out of cilantro and avocado once but I’ll forgive them for that.

Just went to this store for the first and last time. You would think every publix deli would be consistent. Not in this store. I ordered the mojo pork sub special. This is what you get for $ 4.99 I guess. Pathetic. When you order a chicken tender sub it is breaming with chicken… so when you order a mojo pork sub shouldn’t it be full of pork?

This is a small neighborhood Publix grocery store sitting at the intersection of Linebaugh Avenue and Countryway Boulevard in the heart of Westchase. Publix is known for their world-​class customer service, and the quality of the products on their shelves and in their display cases. This Publix, while smaller in size, certainly delivers on the quality and customer service.
When I lived in Westchase this was my go-​to grocery store, and I would regularly zip in, pick up a few items for dinner, and then zip through the check-​out lines and head back to my car. I knew the layout of this store like the back of my hand and would always chuckle at those lost souls who would walk up and down each aisle in search of items on their grocery lists. Little did they know that they simply had to ask for help from a Publix associate who would then guide them around the store to find everything.
I found that in this Publix it was easy to build a rapport with many of the cashiers, deli clerks, and butchers, and you could always be assured of someone remembering you and saying Hi. Seriously, when was the last time that a grocery store butcher asked if you enjoyed those grass-​fed sirloins that you bought from him last week? Or the pharmacist asked if you were feeling better because she remembered filling a prescription for your bad cold two weeks ago?
The deli clerks were great at giving out free samples as they sliced your cold cuts or cheeses, and the bakers would always give well-​behaved kids a cookie. The weekends were especially fun because they had people handing out free samples of food and wine at the end cap of each aisle. I recall getting schnookered a few times on a Saturday afternoon grocery shopping trip!
If you remember the TV commercial from several years ago, this was the Publix where I bought my «Pilgrim» salt & pepper shakers at Thanksgiving time. Of course my ex-​wife got the «Pilgrim» turkey platter, but I still proudly display that salt & pepper set and chuckle about the animated characters in the Publix Thanksgiving TV commercials.
I have a fond spot in my heart for this Publix, and even though I now shop at a different Publix a few miles away, this store always feels as if I’m coming home.

It is a grocery store — I really do not have much to say but I read some negative reviews and had to at least say something. I have never had anyone be rude or mean to me. They have always been helpful and incredibly nice. There are times when the store is busier than others, guess what, it happens. I shop at «off times» and have never had to wait in a long line. We got my son’s birthday cake here and we were super pleased with it.

Frustrating. Crowded. Long lines. I can’t believe dopes actually spend 100% more on groceries to shop here. I think I heard four «excuse me’s» in only ten minutes. Is it overpopulation, or does this Pubix just suck?

Love that they can take their chicken tenders and custom the sauce to your liking in flavored orange (my personal favorite), oriental, and buffalo. Yum!
Wish this location as the frozen Publix tenders like Lakewood a ranch though:-(
Sushi is really good.
This location really needs shopping cart hubs in the parking lot. My #1 pet peeve, the one that makes my skin boil… People that do not take their shopping cart back into the store or into a hub.
C’mon.really?! You probably could use the exercise! JUST SAYIN’.It doesn’t belong next to my car, in front of my car or behind my car.
Bravo to those that take their carts back into the store :-)

I mean it’s a publix-​would you expect anything less than 5 stars?
With that being said, publix Is the crème de la crème because of a few reasons:
Quality of their bakery, produce, meat department and deli
Fantastic customer service
Shopper friendly layout.
I’ve gone to other grocery chains in hopes of saving money, but I leave frustrated and not completing my grocery list. Publix has it all down pat and they do it well.

Publix from a guy’s perspective.
This is my Publix. I’ve been coming here since it opened. Not because I like shopping at a supermarket, but because I’m the official chauffeur of my household and my wife makes me come.
So what is a guy to do at this Publix if not shop for groceries? Ahhhh, this review is what I call Publix from a guy’s perspective.
First, they have a Lotto ticket scanner. Every week I check my tickets at the scanner without having to match them against the newspaper. Score 1 star.
Second, they have an awesome deli. Publix subs with Boar’s Head guts are yummylicious. Score 2 stars.
Third, cheese sampling. If you go to the deli counter to buy cheese by the slice, you can sample several cheeses before you «decide». It will be several samples before they start looking at you funny. Score star #3.
Fourth, cheap coffee. Sorry Starbucks, but for $ 1 you get pretty good coffee out of a cool machine, and they have all sorts of flavors. Coffee drinking while waiting for the wife is 4 star worthy, and goes particularly well with the free deli cheese samples.
And, finally, this Publix has what has got to be the most awesome customer service of any supermarket. From the bakery to the deli to the pharmacy to the checkout and the customer service desk, everyone is friendly, courteous and helpful. My wife says Publix is more expensive than Super Target or Super Walmart, but I somehow end up being dragged in here twice, sometimes three times a week or more. Something to do with the strawberries lasting longer or the meat being fresher, or something like that. That makes it a perfect 5 stars.
Me, as long as I keep feeding my gambling, cheese and caffeine habits, I’ll keep coming back because this is as good as it gets!

This Publix is frequently busy. There are times when it isn’t as crazy, but I’m not stupid enough to ruin my shopping times ;) The wine section has a pretty good selection. Last weekend, they were sampling a few wines. The cashiers and bagpeople are friendly and efficient.

Another one of my local grocery stores and I think that they are Pretty darn good. They have some of the best produce that you can find around and are normally really good about getting new items in if you request them. A really good bakery and pretty good meat and fish departments even out the store. Last but not least if you ask you can normally get a free cookie for your children.

I can’t believe I am writing a review for a grocery store… but the Publix in Westchase is absolutely the best «main stream» grocery store I have ever seen. Staff is always helpful. We just love shopping there and recently had friends move a few miles away who, even though they have grocery stores right by them (even another Publix) they make the drive and come to the Westchase store.
Doing great! I might even right a letter to their main office to tell them how wonderful their mgr/​asst mgrs and crew are doing.
