Publix

Probably one of my least favorite Publix locations. I’m not a fan of the layout, it’s kind of cramped and it’s definitely much smaller than most locations so you’re constantly bumping into each other. It’s a great way to meet a husband, yes, but I just came here for some chicken breasts.
I always find the parking lot to be stressful. The inside is a little dingy and there is always a cast of characters to be found inside.
Last time I was there employees were standing around chatting about how they didn’t like the store and how they planned on leaving– not the greatest customer service move if you ask me.
Check out the random clearance section in the front where you can buy old Stove Top stuffing for a buck (ish). Good deals can be found, but if I can find another Publix to stop in I definitely would choose it over this location.

Wow … Where do I begin. I once frequented this location on a daily basis due to it being located near my home. It seems that every time I go here, I am surprised even more… And not in a good way. They never seem to have stock in anything that I am seeking. The food is often old, especially the produce. And don’t get me started on their meat! Often, I am finding that the meat selections have been opened/​tampered with … And it looks like there is water or cleaning chemicals all over it. I definitely will not be shopping here! Just about a mile up the street on federal, there is a whole foods & trader joes. Go there!

The problem with this Publix is that while the staff is very nice (Steven, Mélange & Sandy specifically) the ordering leaves a lot to be desired. While this may be slightly exaggerated it seems that every time I find something I like it suddenly disappears from the shelves never to return. There also seems to always be a lack of sale items. It is almost guaranteed that if its on sale, it will be gone. I know I can ask for a rain check, but at this rate I don’t have a big enough umbrella.

I love this Publix. It’s small, which I tend to like from time-​to-​time (at big Publix’s, I feel like I’m running obstacle courses just to get through the parking lots. Dodging backing up cars & all) & it’s mainly LGBT. Everyone is nice & it has a «small town» feel to it… well, all of Wilton Manors has a «small town «feel to it.

Shop here regularly as it is on my way home from work and not too far from home. Yes, it is smaller than other locations, but that isn’t a problem for me. There is a pharmacy, bakery, deli with fresh soup, and a sushi counter. Smaller selection of products on the shelves than larger locations, as you would expect. Store is clean, staff is always friendly, and I usually run into a friend, so all is good.

do not go here. the shelves are bare of everyday items, the employees are rude, and ignore you. the cashiers and baggers never acknowledge you, and the manager should be fired. he argues with customers, does not listen to suggestions, and uses poor judgement in who he hires. avoid at all costs. go to the Publix on Andrews and 6^th (Las Olas) if you want shopping that is a pleasure

This Publix isn’t my favorite. The floor plan really weirds me out. Everything is very compact and the aisles are narrow. It’s as if they took a regular publix and folded it in half. I do however really like the Pharmacy staff and the rest of the employees. Everyone is very friendly. They also have a very large selection of pre-​made food options and cheeses.

This is not a terrible Publix per se, but it definitely has its negative attributes. For starters, it is very small and compact. It reminds me of grocery stores in big cities with the exception that their selection is limited. I only come here if I need a few items, but if I have to buy a weeks worth of groceries, I have to drive a few miles south to the Publix on sunrise and 15^th.
Things that others have had an issue with that I never had an issue with were cleanliness and the staff. The times that I have come here, the store has been very clean and the staff has been courteous and helpful.
Again, not a terrible Publix, just a small one with very limited stock.

Horrible experience with a cashier named Marlene. She started to check my order then left half way through to replace an item for the previous customer. She told the bagger to finish, who had no idea what he was doing! No apologies were made for leaving the cashier station! I have shopped at this store 5 years and have never seen anything so rude and unprofessional by their employees.

I like Publix over-​all. But this location is too small for me to consider shopping at regularly. It’s a great location for servicing all of Wilton Manors… But that’s it. Publix in general is far superior to the other options. Others either overcharge for mediocre quality, or have low prices, but the reason why is evident in the quality of fresh food.

It’s ok. It’s in the neighborhood and walkable. So that counts for something. But it is smaller and product variety is somewhat limited. The staff tends to be a little less attentive than most other locations for some reason. There’s no olive bar but just about everything else is sufficient. I find that it’s a great place to grab a thing or two but for larger orders or my weekly trip, I prefer going to the larger locations just a short distance away on Sunrise, Oakland Park or Commercial.

I actually love that this is a smaller Publix, because a larger one just wouldn’t suit the neighborhood. Also, it felt homey, since I live in NYC, and we just don’t get large aisle shopping in any form.
Mind you, they didn’t have everything I needed. And I would have enjoyed having more options for some items. But 95% of my shopping list was easily fulfilled here, I had some options I never see in NYC… and they have my blessed Cheerwine!
The staff are really nice. It’s clean. They’re friendly. It’s well designed and well lit. The prepared foods are pretty darned good. The prices are great (so sayeth the NYC dude ;-). And, when I realized I’d bought more than I could carry, the Customer Service Desk staff didn’t bat one eye when I asked to leave some bags for pick up later.

I no longer shop at this Publix. I have had four different times I’ve bought food to get home and find it to be expired and rotten. The managers looked at me like I had two heads when I went back with the said bad bad food. The staff there is quite rude. Speaking Creole instead of English the entire time. This store also lacks in inventory. It’s ok to go for milk or butter, but that’s it.
It’s also nothing but a huge free for all for «picking up» someone.
I’ve seen men in speedos and no shirts or shoes? What’s that about?
Why tear down the old one build a new one the exact same size? The store sucks.

Great people, horrible store! The store was small enough and now they have squeezed in a pharmacy. The store is dirty, the selections VERY LIMITED but the people who work there are the only reason I would shop there. Get a clue Publix people don’t like to be squeezed so tight.

The customer service is really friendly & helpful. There’s usually always people at the customer service desk.

Best Publix, best service.

Went shopping here while visiting family over Thanksgiving weekend. This is a smaller store compared to most other Publix locations. Being a smaller footprint, the aisles are narrower and there are some items this store doesn’t carry. However, the store is clean, which is typical of most Publix stores, and the staff «friendliness» is comparable to any other grocery store in South Florida. Just be prepared to be feel cramped if the store is crowded. However, if you’re from New York City, as I am, this store would be a dream as far as «shopability» and prices. So for me, shopping here is a pleasure! :-)

This Publix is closest to my home in the Coral Gardens division of Wilton Manors. Like all Publix stores, it’s very busy, and the parking lot is tighter than the other stores I’ve visited. To be honest, I only go to this Publix in Wilton Manors as a last resort: if I’m in the middle of cooking and have forgotten an item, or (more likely) if I’ve simply forgotten to pick up some item (s) from any of the other Publix markets I prefer. You definitely get some real characters at this Publix. (Certainly can make for entertaining shopping; or, more likely, an unpleasant experience.) This store is a magnet to a large, gay clientele (which can be a circus in itself!), mixed with some truly wacko nutcases and low-​lifes. (There was this inconsiderate gal who stopped her cart in the middle of an aisle, rather than pulling to the side, to nitpick over the pre-​made roast chickens. Prior to the roast chicks, she had stopped in the aisle for a bag of candy which, of course, she had to open right then and there and start stuffing her face. I had the good fortune to have been right behind her; thus, the start to my shopping experience that particular day was not good, as I was in a hurry since I had my dogs in the car. Anyway, she’s stopped at the chickens, not a care in the world that there’s people who’d like to get by, so I naturally squeeze between her and her parked cart. Unfortunately, just as I was doing so, she backed right into my cart and apparently stubbed her foot, then began a loud tirade towards me as if I had deliberately tried to run her over or something! Of course — being a temperamental gent towards idiocy and inconsideration — I apologized and told her that she should be more conscientious of where she decides to simply park her cart because there are people who need to get by, and I continued my shopping. As luck would have it, as I was making my way between the frozen fridges, she came from the opposite direction and (literally) screamed out for me to «Get the f**k out of [her] way!» This lengthy description of one particular incident is, unfortunately, the kinds of frazzle-​haired, grimy crackpots this Publix attracts for some reason.) On top of the people, this store is particularly tight in its aisles, and the layout of the store is truly strange, with one area going north-​south and another east-​west in aisle direction. Check-​out areas, too, are tight and mismanaged. Quite a number of workers just seem to be standing around chit-​chatting, and the largely quasi non-​English check-​out gals seem to never have a friendly smile on their faces — all look as if they’re simply there for the money; customer service is NOT a priority of theirs! I say, put a smile on your face, honey, the world would be such a better place for it!!! Bloop! Get me outta this mess!!! :P

Its part dodgem cart carnival, somewhat of a circus show, sort of a street side comedy act and a shopping market experience all rolled into one.
It has to be the smallest of the Publix chain and one of the busiest. I’ve never stopped in but that the aisles weren’t clogged or otherwise plugged by shelf stockers causing a resultant grid lock of shopping carts or having to reroute myself along alternative pathways between boxes and flatbed stocking carts.
Though the grocery products might not be all that interesting or unique, the customers are. This is due in part to its location north of 26^th but still being in a part of Wilton Manors. You can expect to see a lot of gays, usually to be found near the gourmet cheese section, a handful of lesbians in the canned goods section, some street vagrants shopping the malt beer section for higher octane, one or two steroid queen muscle boy types reading the fine print on yogurt labels along with just about every other imaginable stereotype; all of which for me adds to the fun, adventure and pleasure of my shopping experience. Hey! The food may cost you but the show is for free.
The staff is quick, efficient and seeming well adapt at dealing with any situation or capable of handling any event, particularly those that would be out of the ordinary at other markets.
As for food items, the prices are good as is the selection, many of which like veal, are not offered at nearby Albertson’s.

THE smallest Publix I have ever been in. Even the one in South Beach is bigger than this one. I have a fondness for this Publix because of the eclectic mix of people I see here. Being a people watcher, I can sit for hours just watching the interaction between the different groups of Yuppies, vagrants, etc. that patronize this establishment. One time when I was at customer service, a vagrant started a scene looking for his beer even though it was in the bag next to him while urinating on himself. That was a truly comical moment.
The Publix itself doesn’t have the best selection of foods, but at least everything that should be fresh is still fresh. The employees are somewhat brash, but having spoken to some of the other customers, I actually feel somewhat sorry for the Publix employees. Between the vagrants causing scenes and «other» customers looking to steal the spotlight from the vagrants coupled with the general ditziness endemic in everyone… well, it is definitely a circus.
