    Best publix in tampa so far! Bakery, customer service and staff are great. I do not know who is managing this Publix but he/she is doing his/her job very well!

    I have shopped at this Publix for 15 years and have always been met with pleasantness helpfulness and nothing but the best of people. Except for just now, at the self-serve kiosk. The male employee who is working there at this time, basically called me stupid for not knowing that their register and the pay pad are not synced together. I have never experienced such rudeness from a Publix employee ever!

    Love this new Publix! They have absolutely everything you could possibly want. The fresh food is delicious and the staff is so nice and helpful. I love that they have so many fresh food stations, I haven’t seen that at any other Publix location. Their subs and wings are amazing

    There's been a Publix Store at this location for 60 years. Been remodeled several times. Full grocery store with Deli, fresh produce, meats and fish, frozen sections, pharmacy, bakery, beer, and wine. Great customer service. It just recently re-opened from the latest remodel/rebuild ! It now has a Sushi Bar. Taco and Burritos Bar, a Pours Cafe and an upstairs seating area, accessible from stairs and elevator.

    I recently had the pleasure of shopping at Publix, and I must say that my experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly welcome from the staff. The store was clean, well-organized, and stocked with a wide variety of high-quality products. What really stood out to me about Publix was their commitment to customer service. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful, always willing to answer my questions and assist me in finding what I needed. They went above and beyond to ensure that my shopping experience was pleasant and stress-free. The quality of the products at Publix was also exceptional. The produce was fresh and vibrant, the meats were of the highest quality, and the bakery items were delicious and freshly baked. I was impressed with the wide selection of organic and natural products, as well as the Publix brand products which offered great value and quality. I also appreciated the convenient services that Publix offered, such as the pharmacy and online ordering and delivery options. It was clear that Publix was committed to meeting the needs of their customers and providing a comprehensive shopping experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Publix to anyone looking for a high-quality grocery shopping experience. The staff, products, and services were all outstanding, and I felt that I was truly valued as a customer. I look forward to shopping at Publix again in the future and giving them my highest recommendation.

    Heaven descended into the earth and gave us this newly opened Publix that has a sushi station, pizza, pasta, a hot foods bar, a cafe that also serves wine and craft beers, and outdoors and indoors seating. It's everything you would want in a store and more. This is peak adulting to be this excited about a store. You will not be disappointed!

    Saying farewell to the old Publix plaza. These pictures may very well be the last of what is standing here right now and the rest will be entirely demolished in the coming days.

    I generally enjoy shopping @ publix. Some employees here are great, but I had one bad run in with a customer service employee and he actually ended up walking away instead of just handling the issue. Granted I in a very polite tone of voice said "F- you" after he made a mistake, I work in customer service myself and I would definitely never walk away from an upset customer. Regardless of what they're saying, he'll even if they're kicking and screaming I'll help. I now do all my shopping at the target next door. They understand me.

    I was in Publix's picking up a few things right before a sinner party. Asking the Deli Manager a few questions regarding the difference in prosciuttos.  Next thing I know is I'm waking up in the middle stall floor of the bathroom, side bandage up and missing a kidney. I will say Publix's has the cleanest public Bathrooms I've ever seen and has great deli meats!

    Wanted to give a review on this birthday cake I ordered for my mom. It was absolutely AMAZING!! The best birthday cake I've ever had from a publix. They added natilla with freshly sliced strawberries into the center. Props to whoever made this one!!!

    Publix has been a great grocery store since i was a kid. I'm a loyal shopper at the Britton Plaza store, and this store's layout is totally different. Most everything is here, just in different places. But I was surprised to find that this store did not stock small packs of spices like my store.

    I really want to talk about how much I love this Publix because I honestly hated this grocery store with a passion before this new concept opened, partly because of their prices and partly because of who they donate to.. The bogos are amazing, but what really gets me is the Pours and the ramen. I really cannot express how much I disliked going to Publix before this local new concept opened. Every single bartender they have in the Pours Cafe is absolutely top notch. Please make sure you drop a few dollars and walk away so they get a tip. Please also get the ramen because it is very very fresh. They also have over 10 beers on tap that rotate basically daily. You literally cannot go wrong for $5 beers.

    I love the new set up of this publix. I work next door and it is so nice to be able to get some lunch quickly. I love the build your own salad bar and hot wings bar. Also the brick oven style pizza bar, the taco and burrito bars are both yummy! But my fave by far is the sushi bar, it's not all sushi either.. you can get Ramen and other stuff as well. No matter what it's always a quick and wonderful experience

    Beautiful store!! Huge selection. The prepared food options in the deli are great!! So good!! The cheeseburger pizza and cold brew coffee was so good! My wife enjoyed her poke bowl.

    I come into this Publix often as it is so close to where I live and though I regularly have good experiences this morning, I had an outstanding one. Heather (from self checkout) went above and beyond for me. She saw my hands full of bags and took the initiative to go and grab a large bag, fill it up for me, while chatting with me and making me feel welcomed and greeted. This is not a luxury we often see anymore and I wanted to make sure I went above and beyond for her with a shoutout for the experience she provided. I will obviously be back, but I especially hope to encounter Heather again!

    Big, beautiful, and bountiful store. This store has everything and puts WholeFoods to shame. Publix really stepped up to a new level with this store. They have a pizza bar, wrap bar, expanded deli, coffee bar, sushi bar, full size bakery like the old day but bigger and more. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a larger Publix either, and I’ve been in many all over the south. Customer service was top notch as usual. Parking was easy too. Shopping was definitely a pleasure - I highly recommend a visit when you’re in town 👍🏼

    New and premier store with Pours Bar. This location is always out of supplies. Don't have 2 things that match. Salad bar never has dressing. When asked employee to restock. They had no more . I asked for some from aisle. This happens often. Ice machine at soda fountain area always in disrepair. If you go upstairs to use dining area, do so at your own risk. The tables and chairs are always dirty. Each of the 3 times I use this area I had to go to customer service to have them send someone upstairs to disinfect/clean tables☹️

    One of the great parts about the earlier version of this Publix was that it had one of the biggest produce sections I've ever seen. I'm not sure what it says about societal trends or Publix, but it stinks that as lovely as the redesign is that it lost one of the best features of the old store. As far as everything else goes, it's Publix. Shopping is a pleasure, etc. It's the best supermarket chain in the entire country. It's just disappointing that for this one particular Publix they decided to slice away so much of what set it apart.

    Miss the old layout but this flagship location is growing on me. They put a pub in Publix! Great to get a beer to make shopping a pleasure with the kids! Aisles and perimeter are smartly laid out and the shopping cart traffic patterns are less conjested. Love the pre-fix food options for different days. They also have an upgraded sushi bar, pizzeria, taco/burrito bar, deli, and bakery. The meat section also seems to have a better variety of premium cuts. Self check out lanes for smaller grocery runs are clutch!

    Great store that offers hot foods, pizza, and much more. Produce was much fresher here, and the associates talk to you more at this location, which makes you feel like they appreciate your business. Thanks for the great job.

  • 5/5 Evaristo A. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is amazing! Whether it's fried chicken, sub sandwiches, popcorn shrimp, it has all been great. My go to is the buffalo chicken tender sub! As far as groceries, the shopping experience is better than most. Prices can be a little higher than other stores, but the experience makes up for it.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth B. 9 months ago on Google
    Absolutely Love love love the new layout of this store. I have a new obsession with all the ready to eat foods that are offered. The açaí bowls are AMAZING! The only thing I have been disappointed in was the past few times I noticed a few items were kept past expiration dates and a lot of the produce hasn’t been that fresh. I’ve noticed many moldy or extremely soft foods. The last time I was there I decided to leave and go to the other Publix down the street because I was not disappointed with the amount of produce that was going bad.

    When I asked if I could get just Banana nut muffins,the blonde bakery manager was rude and surly. I also tried the sour cream pound cake and banana nut pound cake thinking they would be great. Bananas were missing in taste and they both tasted like sand. Bakery is a hard pass now.

    I've written an earlier review at the time of this stores grand opening.. I shop at all of our Publix locations south of i275. I have everything memorized as far as: product locations, pricing and the store employees! I always try to help customers when I see them looking for something.. This location layout was completely different than the other Publix's in town but after shopping here many times over - you'll grow accustomed to it!!!! Every Publix has it's own personable touch!

  • 5/5 Kathy J. 1 year ago on Google
    New store opening 3/2/23. Beautiful, with all the popular things expected from Publix and many of the options that were only found at the Greenwise store downtown. Pizza oven with by the slice or whole pizza options, pours area where you can have a glass of wine, a local beer, smoothie, tea, or acai bowls. Sausage and bacon made in-house at meat counter. So much more to see and try.

  • 2/5 Love C. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely love Publix! But the fact that there are only 2 curbside pickup spots here is not the best idea. Every time I do curbside both spots are taken. And most times it shoppers who have no business even parking there! People should be more considerate, and Publix needs more curbside pickup spots. Today the spots were both taken again, and the inconsiderate folks are inside shopping! Smh🙄 4/22/2023 1:05pm

    I love shopping at Publix on Gandy Boulevard. The store is clean, well-stocked and organized, with a wide selection of fresh and quality products. The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous, always ready to assist me with anything I need. The prices are reasonable and they often have great deals and discounts. I also enjoy the convenience of the services they offer, such as check cashing, coin counting, money transfers and recycling. One of my favorite features of this Publix is the Pours Cafe, where I can get delicious coffee from Kahwa Coffee, smoothies, fizz drinks and açaí bowls. I can also sip on craft beer or wine while I shop or relax at the seating area⁴. The cafe also has free Wi-Fi, which is perfect for working or browsing online. Another feature I like is the burrito bowl station, where I can customize my own burrito bowl with fresh ingredients and sauces. It's a quick and satisfying meal option that I can grab and go or enjoy at the store. Publix on Gandy Boulevard is my go-to supermarket for all my shopping needs. I always have a pleasant and positive experience there. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and quality grocery store in Tampa.

    Not acceptable ole width through out store, especially around the end caps. Great place for variety in wine & beer, plus local organic product.

  • 5/5 Lady T C. 10 months ago on Google
    This store represents the Publix brand so well. Thank you, instragram, for posting the video about this store. Words can not express how grateful I am to find good customer service and products that are so well displayed. With the economy so messed up at the moment. We have to find little pleasures where we can. BTW they have a beverage bar, sushi bar, and popcorn bar.
