    Clean and fast. Friendly worker with dreadlocks helped me find unsweetened coconut, the lady in the bakery added a name to a giant cookie super cute, the checkout man was super friendly and nice. I found all I was looking for very quickly with help & it was a very clean, tidy, bright & open atmosphere to shop it was a lovely experience.

    I have been in this store on several occasions and the lunch hot/cold bar is not being maintained. There are no containers or only certain size containers available. Not the size container that I need. Three out of the five times that I was in there for lunch there were also no utensils or napkins to be found. I had to ask employees at the deli counter for them or search for them myself if they were busy. Another wait. At 1 pm, on several occasions, the hot food items were out or almost out. Most lunch hours in the area are from 11 am. to 2 pm. My purpose for using the hot bar is that I only get 30 minutes for a lunch. I cannot wait in line to order a sandwich from the deli. The cold to-go sandwiches are horrible and I feel like a waste of money. Deli meat and lettuce that is old, discolored and dried out is not my idea of a sandwich. The hot/cold bar is quick and the food is decent for what it is. Having a sloppy/dirty bar, no food, no containers, napkins and utensils defeats the purpose of having a to-go quick bar. It needs to be well stocked with food, supplied with all instruments required to eat it with, wiped down and maintained at all times. What I have experienced and seen this past week is NOT what I have come to expect from Publix.

    Place is huge. They have a freaking chicken wing bar. The publix near where my wife and son live we are lucky to have an olive bar. Place had everything I needed and then some. While publix is a bit pricey compared to Walmart the quality if goods and options there are greater.

    Clean and easy to navigate. This Publix has a nice little quick MV machine that you can renew your vehicle tags which is very convenient.

    This is definitely one of the better Publix stores. It's clean, very well stocked, and has plenty of workers. They could use help on their hot/cold bar as it's usually messy, not kept up, and makes me wonder if the temperature is kept where it should be. I love the fact that they have one but it always looks unclean and makes me skeptical. It's a great grocery store so if Publix sees this I hope they will make improvements to this area. I live in So Tampa and do not like the store located on Bayshore. I also own a house in Tempe Terrace and the 2 Publix stores over there are terrible, so I do enjoy shopping at this particular location. The store is quite large and very well laid out. The staff is super friendly too.

    I went in to cash a payroll check at the customer service counter, and was helped by a new employee, I believe her name was jewel ? For reasons that aren't their fault , they were unable to cash my check, and when I asked why the manager who was helping to train her nicely explained why it could be and told me what to do to find out why the system wasn't allowing them to cash it. She was training the new employee and doing a good job instructing her what to do without being overbearing. I wish I got her name but I didn't think to look - she was a white lady with brown hair maybe somewhere in her 30s but she was kind and efficient and seemed to really know what she was doing. I've almost always had nothing but great service at every Publix I've been to and this one was no exception I came in on a Thursday afternoon , august 31st at around 5pm

    Great South Tampa location. This store is always well stocked with fresh produce and the meat department is awesome. Check out the deli area for the famous Pub Subs and delicious fried chicken. Meals to go are easy and delicious.The staff consistently delivers excellent customer service. Recommended.

    This store is really great. It's not far from home, and i haven't had any trouble finding anything that i ever needed, especially like some of the products that Walmart used to carry, but don't carry any more, like the Bavarian style sauerkraut. I love to cook my smoked pork ribs with it. It also seems like Walmart is doing way with a lot of name brand products, and substituting off name brands, such as Great Value, and others. If i can't find what i want and need, i'd much rather go to someplace that carries the things that i do want and need. Publix is just my kind of store. They even order items for you, if they don't carry them. Of course you have to pay the cost, but to me it's worth it, to get what i want. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

    Wow! Dean is the absolute man in seafood! Every. single. time! He delivers. Having spent the last 30 years in customer service I can spot a star when I see one. Dean is just that: a freaking rock star! Eye contact, attentiveness, sincerity, bright smile, professionalism, you name it and he's got it! Dean, if you're reading this, God bless you and hope a blessed day!

    This is the snobbiest Publix Iโ€™ve ever shopped at. I spend a lot of money at Publix, and Iโ€™ve never been treated as rudely as I have at this Publix. I understand thereโ€™s a bunch of rich people around this part of town and Iโ€™m dirty from work. But good lord what a bunch of snobs. I will never shop there again. Shame on them.

  • 5/5 Cscag 1 year ago on Google
    Superb. Thatโ€™s the only thing I can say. Super clean! Everyone who was working was happy, helpful and had nothing to but great things to say about the company. Pub Subs are not overrated in the least!

    As usual the customer service at the meat & seafood counter was awesome. My wife and I were assisted by Dean, who saw us looking for fish that wasn't available in pre package seafood freezers. Although he was preparing for the store to close,, he took the time to assist us with some fresh fish. Another great experience at Publix.

    I like Publix their store brand yogurt and regular cottage cheese Large curly are really really delicious and their juice that is called Kern's apricot is also delicious especially when it's chilled tho I really really have to say that I'm extremely disappointed how much they charge for milk and Hershey's 5 chocolate syrup is just so unbelievably expensive and tho everything has gotten WAYYYYYYYYY to expensive and it's just so so sad to try to keep food on the table for your family!! And I also don't like the pharmacy at Britton Plaza I will never understand why they just decided that they were not gonna fill my prescriptions from my doctor's who I've been working with for the past couple years and knows me and they still refused to fill it with was so wrong on every level they would have never held responsible they just felt the noses in something that didn't concern them and because of that I switched out and went to another pharmacy all together... And I hope other patients don't deal with judgemental pharmacist...

    Oh how I wish to trade every Kroger in the metro Detroit area for just a single Publix. Well stocked, well staffed and friendly. Excellent prepared foods, the popcorn chicken and wings are great to stock up on for snacks. Pro tip when buying seafood, they will steam and season it for your journey back home. Great selection of beers from the mitten as well, Founders, Bells, etc.

    Needed some quick items and needed assistance and she directed us right to the item. Love the self-check ut, was in and out in minutes. Store very clean, staff friendly and nice making shopping at this Publix's enjoyable.

    I went to get a pub sub and spent 45 minutes in line for the worst sandwich. The women at the counter were great, but the guy tore apart my beautiful sandwich at the end at charged me $12 for it. Donโ€™t use this deli

    This Publix location wasn't bad and had very much of what you'd come to expect of shopping here (if you're a regular of Publix in general). I put 4 stars because, as usual, there were still many items that were completely out of stock. I can appreciate empty shelves were the norm at the beginning of the pandemic, but we've, for the most part, overcome that this year.....and I've been told through another two Publix locations (in Lakeland) that it's attributed to overcoming Hurricane Ian. Today, I'm shopping a solids 3 weeks and two days (October 21st) since it hit and it did not affect Tampa as it did further south in Ft. Meyers. So I find it interestingly odd that a storm that passed nearly a month ago would still affect an area that was not heavily inundated with outages and debris and inmaneuverable infrastructure, which leads me to believe several store location's managers cannot conduct proper inventory and therefore has lead to a frustratingly negative effect for the shoppers of Tampa Bay. That's just my two cents. โœŒ๐Ÿป

  • 4/5 Ezell L. 1 year ago on Google
    Got what I was shopping for but I don't like the short dismissive attitude of one of the staff members. They have much kindness and attentiveness for other customers but when I seek attention they either don't comprehend my questions or don't have that same energy for me as they do for other customers. Last I checked the old saying "customer satisfaction" had meaning and it encompasses all customers.

    Omg store #611, best Publix ever. I was craving Salmon and had to drive to multiple locations. Finally got here and Dean, in the seafood department hooked me up and held me down. Best service ever, brightened my entire day and he was just the nicest man. These are the reasons why I shop Publix for great service and the great people I meet!!!!!

  • 5/5 Jo Ann V. 1 year ago on Google
    Dean in the seafood department is the best. He had just finished up cleaning so I didnโ€™t want to bother asking him for help. But they didnโ€™t have any cod frozen. He was absolutely wonderful. He went to the back , got what I needed, and was very happy to help. Itโ€™s so nice to have that experience when shopping in the evening.

  • 5/5 Shayna L. 1 year ago on Google
    Dean from the seafood department was amazing. I came in towards the end of the night and the seafood station had already been cleaned and shut down, but he opened it up and was able to package what I asked for. He was extremely personable, kind, and friendly, thank you Dean!

  • 3/5 David D. 1 year ago on Google
    The deli/meat counter has the slowest service of any grocery I've been to in the last 20 years. Lots of people behind the counter, but only one serving customers. They have all the stuff you need, at higher than necessary prices. Why is each Publix store laid out differently? No consistency across locations.

  • 5/5 JandR H. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to give a great big thanks to Dean in the Seafood! Dean was in the process of closing his area when we showed up. Dean was very customer oriented and caring for his customers! I highly recommend to go see Dean at Store 611, Publix where shopping is a pleasure! Hire more employees like, Dean!

  • 1/5 Nicole P. 1 year ago on Google
    Seafood department was empty and store was open for over an hour. Also asked a guy if I could have 3 pieces of portioned salmon and he gave salmon but not the center cuts but charged me for the center cuts and he made me wait 15 minutes . Also when I came back he was on his phone and not setting anything up and my salmon wasn't ready. Very disappointing.
