Publix

I went to Publix and ordered an Italian whole sub on a wheat roll. The sub was layered nicely with genoa salami, capricola ham, and ham with provolone. I added lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, red wine vinegar, mustard, and mayo. The sub was about a foot long and huge. I went with Publix meat and it came out to $ 6.50, a really good price for the size of the sub
The overall taste of the sub was fine. The capricola and salami weren’t as flavorful as I had hope, but the sub was still overall good. For the money, the sub is definitely worth it and you do get decent quality ingredients and satisfying meal. They do have the option to get Boars Head meat, but that adds almost $ 2 more to the sub.

As this Publix happens to be right underneath my residence, I’ve had quite a few visits and it’s decent. I’ll start on a positive note. The registers are very well maintained and I have never seen lines getting too long, so that’s a plus. The meats section is also generally good and things are fresh.
However, produce is not just below the standards set in the marketplace, but also than any other Publix (except the Buckhead Lenox location). Organic area is just pitiful, most of the fruits and veggies are rotting. Even in the non organic sections, I’ve gotten rotten garlic here. The selection of natural items is also lacking. For example, I dare you to find an all natural wing sauce here!
Veggies and sauces aside, I’ll comment on the staff. They don’t seem to be trained to Publix standards for the most part. Some of them are often unsure how to handle various customer service situations and some cashiers are not very friendly or careless. Such as spending the full interaction chatting with other employees and ignoring the customer. Others are great. There is just no consistency and the folks being recruited just don’t seem to be on par with other Publix locations.

Produce section is pitiful… I come because the location is so convenient but I have to shop for fresh food elsewhere. Fruit and veggies are often out of stock or going bad on the shelf. I used to buy their «fresh» deli salads to take to work but the lettuce almost always turns out to be wilted… on the same day as purchase!!! Do they seriously make their salads with ingredients that have already gone bad? Yuck.

This was a quick visit to get some water in advance of the BBQ festival so my review is not based on a whole heck of alot. Well, and they have an ATM that my friend can use without getting charged– so there’s that, too. I liked that there was seating outside. Great if you want to grab a snack for the store and chill. Since we were there for just water, we stuck to the front of the store. The cooled beverage fridges weren’t as obvious as in my Kroger, but that’s OK. We were able to find water quickly. Surprised at the almost $ 2 price tag. But it hit the spot on that warm day.

I used to be a big fan of Publix, most of the time they have great customer service. This location has the WORST customer service. The employees (usually cashiers) are either downright rude or barely say one word to you. Do yourself a favor and avoid this store! There are plenty of other stores around Atlanta for groceries. Fresh Market, Kroger and Whole Foods are all worth the extra few miles to be treated like you’re at least somewhat appreciated. Note that my review is based on multiple attempts since I like to give the «benefit of the doubt.»

I normally am very pleased with the service at this location. Now that Ive been away from the area fir some time service and product availability seems to be waning. I hope it gets better.

I’ve lived here at Atlantic Station for 5 years therefore this has been my primary store for grocery needs. I literally know each and every store associate by name. Over the years I’ve developed such a friendship that I call them my extended family. To be honest many times I’ve gone into the store not to purchase anything but just to say hello. Michael, Michelle, Tabria, Tameka, Andrew, both of the Kenya’s and so many others should be rewarded for going out of their way to ensure that customers find what they need and provide them with the best shopping experience only Publix has to offer. As you can see I love to shop here because they make it a pleasure.

So Publix is the go-​to supermarket (well for me it is) in Atlanta. They have everything… EVERYTHING. I mean you can get anything from groceries to wine here. They have a huge selection of wine and beer (can you tell what I usually get when I stop off here?) and of course they have your all of the munchies you may need (from chips to trail mix). Publix is a one stop shop in Atlanta. I love Publix because I’m usually in Atlanta for a few days at a time, mostly for work, and I stop here to get whatever I need in my hotel room to hold me down for the days that I’m visiting. The staff is usually very friendly and helpful. What else can I say? It’s like a cross between a CVS, Pathmark and your neighborhood liquor store all under one roof.

This publix location is ok. The parking lot is inconvenient and its a smaller store than others in the area. The employees are still usually friendly but the store just seems cramped and a little dirty. Not as nice as other locations.

This Publix is very convenient for the location. You can park for free for 2 hours in the garage. The place is small but it has everything you need. I was able to find everything I needed and the staff was friendly. The woman that worked at the seafood counter on ¹²⁄₂₆ was soo pleasant. She made you feel like you were a long lost friend, very personable, sweet & the family enjoyed talking to her. Publix is very lucky to have her! Overall great experience and just as an FYI they had a redbox at this location.

CONVENIENT!
This locations helps me knock out the essentials when I’m in a pinch or need to restock on a few items. Relatively small compared to other locations but this definitely works for me.
a little pricey but you get what you pay for…1) convenience 2) clean environment 3) cashiers/​staff willing to assist and greeting you with a smile.

The recommended grocery store if you are in the Atlantic Station area and need some snacks, drinks, etc. This is a smaller that usual Publix, so don’t expect a huge selection of items. That said, I wish East Point had a Publix like this in their downtown.
Easy access through the parking garage and by walking on street level. Friendly and efficient check-​out service.

Smallish urban store with garage parking which is free under 2 hours. Were looking for a cookie cake but none are made ahead of time. Went with cupcakes and they we’re find. Place was bright and clean. Didn’t find the employees overly helpful.

I come here periodically after leaving the gym. Today I needed a quick dinner so I grabbed some sushi. 12 bucks for a sampler. The sushi was pretty good actually! It included about 15 pieces of sushi. My cashier was very gracious, I forgot my chopsticks and she read my mind and got a pair for me. This location is clean and easily accessible through the garage. Love love love it!

Every time that I’ve purchased seafood here, I get it home and it is bad. Over the course of the past year, today makes time #3.
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoy this location. I just suggest that you do not try the «fresh» seafood.

While I wouldn’t make a special trip to this Publix for normal grocery needs, it’s great to be able to pick up a few items after seeing a movie or doing some shopping at Atlantic Station. It’s small, like the Publix at 8^th and Spring, but generally has all the basics covered.
Parking is easy, once you have the Atlantic Station garage figured out, and free as long as you’re in and out in less than two hours.

I’m not often in this area, but this Publix is A-​OK. So to speak.
Not as big as some, more spacious than others — and if you can find parking on the street/​with meters, you’re golden. Everyone knows Atlantic Station is a cluster, so what can you expect from a major grocery store in this kind of development?
Decent layout, your usual suspects from the deli area to the produce and adult beverages. Totally adequate for getting goodies in a pinch if you’re in the area, if not personable like the Publix stores I usually frequent (The Peach and Peachtree Battle). And like Daniel B said, this is one of the Publix stores that has those cool motion-​censors in the frozen food aisles (Cheshire Bridge does too). Nice touch.
Nice patio tables outside where you can eat your sub, sushi or roti chicken for lunch — much more pleasant than the Buckhead (Target) Publix on a nice day!

Parking downstairs and taking the elevator up seems kind of fancy, but I’m not sure how I feel about it. I think they did a great job making things work, especially given Atlantic Station’s design.
Their complimentary carry-​out service definitely comes in handy here because you don’t have to worry about bringing your cart all the way back upstairs after you load your car.
I don’t like their layout. This is one of their smaller intown designs, but it’s nothing like the others on Spring Street and North Avenue. I guess it has all the same stuff. It feels smaller and as if I won’t be able to find everything I need.

I’ve developed a new obsession with Publix subs. They’re huge and expensive, but the prices are comparable to that of New Yorker-​style delis around Atlanta. Also, all the meat is freshly sliced for your sandwich, and the bread of the hot sandwiches is toasted. I really like the philly cheesesteak, especially with grilled onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and olives. The Italian sub is also excellent, especially when you add pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, spicy mustard, onions, olives, banana peppers, pickles, olive oil, and vinegar.
The deli and bakery at Publix are both excellent. Everything is fresh and way tastier than whatever Kroger has to offer in its deli and bakery.
The customer service at Publix is also excellent.

Update. The Atlantic Station Publix has just installed energy efficiency motion sensors in the frozen food aisle. When I rolled my cart around the corner and noticed the lights inside all of the freezers were off, I thought they must be having some sort of electrical problem. However, as I walked down the aisle, the lights inside the freezers lit up as I approached each one. That’s when I noticed the new motion detectors above the doors. Bravo to Publix for being energy efficient!
This Publix continues to be my go-​to American grocery store, but mainly because it’s a quick minute from my condo. Small and cozy because it’s in the city, but always clean and the employees are quite helpful. Also, the prices here are competitive with Kroger. Parking is a breeze if you enter the Atlantic Station deck from 16^th St. and park near the Publix elevators on P2.
