Winn-Dixie

The food here tasted much better than Pollo Tropicals food. They have a wing bar where you can purchase chicken wings by the pound. You can also buy whatever groceries you need. Food here is just as expensive as in NYC. I recommend their hot bar, it’s absolutely delicious!

Please don’t go here.
Gift bags are six dollars. Hello Dollar tree. Waited in line on express to buy gift cards ten minutes only to be told to go to customer service. Went on customer service line and the chick who works there actually walked away five times w like five people on the line. When it was finally my turn… She insists I pay w debit cards for my gift cards. Why? Who made this damn rule? Publix lets you pay with whatever u want. I left. I didn’t spend money on gift cards. Never again. Came for a bargain. Didn’t get one and got aggravation. Not to mention I don’t even know if she spoke ten words of English.

One of your better stores. Always very clean & everyone there is so friendly! We drive past quite a few Publix stores to get to this WD. Prices are very reasonable & much cheaper than Publix.

I’m giving this place one star only because their produce department is presentable.
As for their management and customer service, terrible! My mom recently went in to purchase a lottery ticket and pay for a few items at the customer service counter. When she got home she realized she left her lottery ticket at Winn Dixie. So I drove her to the supermarket. I waited for her in the car. When she came back out she was frazzled saying they were accusing her of lying that she had never been at the store. I was in shock cause I could tell my mom was shaken up. We both went back in. I immediately asked to speak to the manager b/​c I could see the girls behind the counter giggling. When the assistant manager came out he immediately seemed to already assume we were both lying. We hadn’t even said a word to him. After my mom and I spoke to him he continued to tell us we were lying of having been at the store. I was at a loss for words. I asked the assistant manager to review the video surveillance in our presence so he could see my mother had been there earlier. When he did, of course he saw my mother on the video and saw she had walked away with her groceries but had left her lottery ticket on the customer service counter. After he saw her on video he stormed out of his office and yelled: «I guess they weren’t lying refund them their money!» and walked away. Never did we get an apology from management or customer service for being rude to us. Won’t be back again.

I used to shop here a lot because I lived close by. I ended up moving not too far away so I continued to shop here but all of that changed this weekend. When I went to pay for my groceries with a credit card which belongs to my mother but I am an authorized user they told me that they would not accept the card because it was not under my name. I was beyond embarrassed and while I had another way to pay for the groceries I left them the cart with all of the groceries bagged up for them to put away because of them embarrassing me. There is such a thing as being an authorized user on someone else’s credit card. Maybe they should look into that. I have used the card numerous times and never had any problems. I ended up doing groceries at Publix and will continue to shop there. Screw Windixie and their dumb employees.

Newly Remodeled this Winn Dixie is old as the hills but they totally fixed it up the last time I went it was so dirty and was full of dead roaches now it’s properly clean and staff is friendly

This place has gotten so much better after they remodeled it. It looks nicer and feels so much cleaner. The flowers are always fresh and nice. The fruits and veggie section is so good too.

I will start with the bad, and end with the good.
I actually created a Unilocal account because of how annoyed I was with this place. Now that I’ve been shopping there for longer, I’ve gotten used to its quirks.
Cons:
— The long check-​out lines. You can’t just run in to get something quickly because it’s guaranteed you’ll spend at least 10 minutes waiting to check out. It’s a combination of the fact that they never have all the cashier lines open, and this Winn-​Dixie is incredibly busy all day.
— What caused me want to write a complaint to begin with is there have been *NUMEROUS* times that I take home expired food. This has never happened to me before in years of grocery shopping — shouldn’t that be someone’s job, to take away expired food when restocking? Yogurt, milk, eggs, cheese, butter, guacamole, bagged spinach — all are expired items I have taken home from this Winn-​Dixie. I know it should be common practice for the customer to check the expiration date — but usually I expect it won’t expire for another 2 days at least. Not already *past* the expiration date. Recently, when actually checking the expiration date on sour cream, I could not find one that was not expired! It has been frustrating, but I’ve learned my lesson at least. Now at times, if a worker is nearby, I hand him the expired item while shopping to bring it to their attention.
Pros:
— Extensive selection on international food items. This has been a plus as I have been stepping outside my cooking box. Canned green chili peppers? Got ‘em. (Insert funky inernational brand here)? Found it.
— It’s relatively inexpensive (say, vs. Publix)
— The service is exceptional. Besides the long cashier lines, I have never had an unpleasant experience with the cashiers. Once, the closest worker I could find to ask where the hummus and crab dip was, was stocking produce. He immediately dropped what he was doing and walked me over to show me where the hummus and then even farther to show me where the crab dip was. Anytime you can find a worker, they will be attentive and friendly.
In a nutshell, I’d say the one-​star problem of selling expired food cancels out the 5-​star customer service to equal 3-​stars, overall.

This is, by far, the nicest WInn-​DIxie I’ve ever been to. It’s well kept, has an impressive produce and bakery/​deli area, and is always in fairly good shape. Heck, they’ve even got a cheesemonger’s counter!
The only hits against it area its location and how excruciatingly slow things can be at the registers. Although the later seems to be the fault of the customer more often than not.
I’d like to give it 3 ½, but things don’t work that way. so three it is.

Regardless of how few people in store you’ll always have to wait 10 to 15 minutes in line because there are never enough cash registers open.

I don’t know what some reviewers are complaining about but this Winn-​Dixie ROCKS! It basically feels like a Fresh Market or Whole Foods, but has the prices of a Publix.
Their cheese selection is incredible. They have an amazing deli, and salad bar — again at incredibly low prices, and the rest of the groceries selection is huge and low priced. I bought a bunch of fresh produce and found the selection to be great and didn’t notice any rotten items.
And to top it all off, if you buy things on special and have the winn-​dixie card you can get major discounts on buying gas.

This place is a textbook example of how not to run a grocery store. It seems I go in there at any given time and they have the bare minimum number of cash registers open. Lines grow longer right before your eyes and you don’t ever hear an announcement over the PA system asking their employees to «open up» [another checkout lane]. Furthermore, if you can’t find an item and ask an employee (if you’re lucky enough to spot one) where an item is, they will either (a) pretend they didn’t hear you and keep on walking, or (b) give you an answer that doesn’t get you to the item that you need. I loathe this place and use it only for its proximity to home. Milam’s is light years ahead of these people and if their prices are higher, they’re worth every penny.

So this store got a major face lift more than a year ago… Unfortunately their quality control and freshness of their produce did not. I normally shop at Publix, but stopped in here yesterday evening after work just to grab a few things quickly. Among the items I bought were oranges and peaches. I didn’t bother inspecting each and every piece of fruit I picked up, as I never need to bother doing that at Publix since I’ve never had a bad experience purchasing fruit at their stores.
I gave the fruit here at this Winn-​Dixie a quick squeeze, and tossed what I needed into my cart. Fast forward to this morning when I was preparing breakfast: One of the peaches has a large 1 ½″ diameter rotten spot that goes pretty deep within the fruit, and one of the oranges is also bruised and has begun rotting on one side. One of my earlier reviews of this store from a few years ago mentions the poor quality of their produce, and the fact that some of their produce was covered in flies. Fast forward to now, several months post-​renovation and the flies are still a problem, as is the quality of their foods. Looks to me like this «remodel» simply put lipstick on a pig!
The other downsides to shopping here: In many cases, you must have a Winn-​Dixie card in order to take advantage of certain sales or special pricing on some items. Please don’t require me to carry a card in my wallet or a piece of plastic on my key chain, just give me the lowest possible price each time I shop here, please and thanks. It’s also a pity that Winn-​Dixie chose to remove their 4 self-​serve checkouts as part of their remodel. I appreciated those for their speed and quick access when I only had a few items.

At the risk of sounding like a lush, I love the wine specials I get at W.D. As far as supermarket wine selections go, they have a lofty selection that makes the obligatory wine addition to my cart both varied and affordable.
I do also shop for other food items, but it is important to share that W.D.‘s practice of BOGO items (even in the wine and beer department) make this a go-​to spot for any dinner shin-​dig or party prep.
For specialty vintages, stick to your local wine shoppe. However, don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy great wines and great prices and feel free to stock up. I do.

«I Love when things have babies!»
If a Sedanos and a Whole Foods had a baby you would get this Winn Dixie The look of daddy WF but with the relative selection of Mama Sedanos
If you go back and look at the reviews of this Winn Dixie you will notice a drastic difference between the older reviews and the recent ones Little signs on the produce that show you how to pick the best ones and what to look for A HUGE prepared food section with a Sub station that rivals the quality that Publix puts out Wide aisles with tons of selection One thing I don’t understand about grocery stores and much like banks, they have 30 registers but only three are open at a time ensuring that no matter what you have to wait in a line They even stretched the remodeling money out into the parking lot When you take into the deal they have where you save money on gas, I’m not to sure why I still go to any other grocery store. oh yeah, I don’t live near here
Not your Abuelas Winn Dixie
Now imagine other grocery stores having sex … weird as the word «uncle»

I’m so glad this Winn-​Dixie was remodeled! It went from being a dump to a real grocery store.
Winn-​Dixie has never been my first choice for grocery shopping– I’m a bigger fan of Whole Foods. But this store is closer to home and now that it’s not gross, I might consider going there more often.
Oh, and my favorite part of this store is that they now have tons of ethnic foods like cous cous and Jamaican seasonings… stuff they never had before.

Talk about a makeover and a half!
This Winn-​Dixie went from ghetto to ahhh nice! The wooden flooring, the produce lay-​out is great and the cooked food looks delicious. Even the little cafeteria is outstanding.
But, you killed it with taking out the self-​serve check out. Other than the BOGO deals this is what separated you from Publix!
Like I always do, I’ll be going for the spectacular BOGO deals. But please put the self serve check-​outs!

I normally avoid Winn Dixie but this place was extremely close to my cousin’s house — so why not. There was a sign saying that it wa recently remodeled? or maybe they are still remodeling? I hope they plan on getting to the parking lot because that makes no sense.
Once inside the store, I was a little surprised at how clean it was. (This is one of the reason why I normally avoid these stores.) And the bakery section was beautiful with helpful smiling faces. Only downfall, couldn’t find the Duck sauce! Could find plenty of Hispanic/​Haitian ethnic items but no duck sauce! Actually the way the store was ordered seemed very awkward. There were soda’s down on the «Cola’ aisle. But then you would find ethnic sodas on a different aisle (but not in the ethnic aisle). Made it a pain when looking for juice. But I know others are glad it’s in the area.

This Winn-​Dixie is extremely convenient. Its on Coral Way positioned in a spot that you can be in and out fast. And the parking lot is huge! Yes the lines are usually long but the self service check out isn’t.
First of all the beers are on special alot more than the publix’s in the Brickell area. Second they have really good potato salad that I pick up on my way to events. Lastly the meats are usually buy one get one free!
Best of all their liquor store next door has the most amazing specials on Bacardi, Pinnacle, Absolute, and Svedka!
I’m a fan!

The store is being remodeled on the inside, so it is a little messed up in there.
The self check out was funny. The voice would yell at you to move your items off the scale (in a mean tone). This was the highlight of our visit.
My negative review comes from the Café near the front of the store. I needed a Café Con Leche and I was being ignored by the workers. There seemed to be some commotion going on behind the counter. No one would make eye contact with me. Also there was no English spoken here… so frustrating to feel like a foreigner in my own country.
I finally got served and the coffee was good. In fact, I can not remember ever getting a bad Café con Leche anywhere in Miami. The Café Con Leche is 5 Stars but the condition of the store and staff gets 0 stars. So mathematically that works out to one star. Sorry I didn’t use a calculator so my math my be off by a few. Avoid and go to Publix around the corner.
