Publix

Clean store. Great sale prices. Meat is cut in the store, none of that prepackaged stuff. Produce is fresh and a big variety. Bakery is fresh and awesome! Best cakes around! !

The other day I bought my wife some flowers at this location. When I got home and gave them to my wife. She noticed in one of the bouquets that some of the flowers were broke and wilted. We promptly took them back the same day, only to be met by one of the rudest Publix’s employees I’ve encountered. I’m not gonna put her name on blast but, if she reads this she will know it’s her I’m talking about. When I walked up to the counter and GREETED HER I proceeded to explain my situation. She showed little to no interest in what I was saying and began reaching for the receipt as if to say «shut up and give me the dam receipt. Once I gave her the receipt she checked it with eagle eyes like I was trying to get over on her. Before she could say any words I said «I just wanted to get another bouquet». She replied «go ahead». When I caught up with wifey in the store I asked «was it me or did she seem real smug?» And she confirmed the smugness. When we returned to the counter she had left and we were waited on by another lady who looked at the flowers and made a comment as to say I would have brought these back also. I ask was the smug lady a manager and she told me no and ask was everything OK. I told her no and that she had a negative smuggish attitude. She APOLOGIZED for the ladies attitude and said have a good day. I still like and will shop at Publix but this lady needs an attitude adjustment quick!

Watch out for the items sold at this store, they do not check expiration dates! It happened to me 3 times! The first time I just let it go, second time I took the item back and exchanged it, the third time I requested my money back. It is hat a HIGE INCONVENIENCE to have to watch out for expiration dates or make another trip back to the store. I don’t ever remember having this problem with any other store in my life! Hopefully they can get it together.

If you’re in a hurry for quick lunch don’t bother placing an online order for pick up because it will never be ready! I’ve placed numerous online orders at this location and always have to wait 5 – 10 minutes before they even acknowledge that I am there and before they start making my order!

Now that it’s been a couple of months and the newness has worn off a bit, this is still a great shopping experience. The produce is great, the meat and fish are great and the dairy are great. There are a bunch of things that we can only get at this Publix that are out of stock at the Steele Creek Publix. Still, a box of corn flakes are a box of corn flakes and so if it’s not a super busy time, there are still things that I’ll go next door to get and save a bunch.
Produce? Meat? Always at Publix. The quality is just… better. The shopping experience is better, the associates are friendlier and more helpful, the shelves are properly stocked.
And so here we are a few months after the store has opened and it’s still a five star review. Welcome to Charlotte, Publix.

This publix has wonderful customer service vs the Matthews location, I was walking and received so many «how are you, May I help you» with smiles. I like publix bc for a grocery store they have a nice selection of natural baby products that I don’t see in Wal-​Mart or Harris Teeter. I also like their selection of organic snacks. Since this publix is conveniently located close to my job, a quick trip into the busy grocery store is never a hassle, they have plenty of self service registers so you can zoom in and out.

I love shopping here. Everyone is really great. I would have left five stars but they have a lot of Pam handlers in the parking lot asking for $. Other than that I can’t complain. Lynn is really the best! She does the sampling

When Publix made it’s way to NC a lot of people went nuts about it. It’s down the street from me and smack in the middle of my drive from work to home so I find myself stopping in a few times here and there. I however am not all that impressed. It’s nothing special compared to other grocery stores, not really. They are NOT cheaper, I don’t care what anyone says but I’ve shopped cheaper at Harris Teeter. Seriously yes okay they have their buy 1 get 1 deals and their 10 for 10 deals etc. but it’s never on anything I want. Also I’m more of a shop the edge of the store kind of person and their produce section leaves so much to be desired. It’s over priced and hardly anything organic and even non-​organic is super limited. Don’t go in looking for shallots for a last minute meal because well they don’t have any!
Also on another note their wine section is huge… I thought hello wine heaven, and then I started looking through it. That’s where the happiness ended. The way they organize their wine is the most annoying and asinine thing I’ve ever seen. If you look at their wine simplified chart online that is NOT how it’s organized at my Publix because that would make sense. I’ve got whites mixed with reds and then you’ll have reds, next to whites, next to reds. There are no signs and if I’m in there looking for a particular bottle that I know I love it’s impossible to find. Basically have to scan the entire length of the shelves. So instead of being able to say okay Cabs are over here let me go find my brand I have to walk and search for reds because they aren’t all in one place. So yeah I’m all about simplicity when in a hurry and this just doesn’t cut it. If I’m buying wine at the grocery store it’s because I’m looking for a tried and true cheap bottle in a hurry! OKay I’m going to get off my soap box now.
Staff here is super friendly (sometimes overly friendly) which is nice, their subs are good and I love that I can order it online and it will be ready when I stop by.
Overall it’s a grocery store… nothing special and kind of overpriced in my opinion. It’s never good when I think Harris Teeter is cheaper!

We love Publix!!! This store location has yet to disappoint us and always has fresh produce (unlike food lion down the street). The staff is very friendly and they are always asking if they can help you. I don’t think the store is overpriced, however I don’t mind spending more for higher quality foods.
Tip– make sure the items on sale ring up correctly. If the item is incorrect they usually will give it to you for free if you catch it!

I am glad Publix made its way to the Carolinas. While I think the other Publix «The Crossing at Steele Creek» is larger with a better variety when it comes to fresh meat and seafood, I still enjoy this one as well. The other day I was in there getting some Sushi but they were closed. One of the workers was kind to point out the California Roll that was still left in the case to me (I picked up the last one). He also took it in the back and added spicy mayo While I was hoping to grab some fresh Sushi I was pleased with the service I received.

I do enjoy Publix a lot, the produce selection is great and very fresh, it always seems to last a while. There is always a large selection of different apples, fish, and eggs. I feel as if it may be a little less expensive than Harris Teeter. They also have a lot of brands that are difficult to find elsewhere. The staff is friendly and helpful. Although, I havent had the best experience with how my groceries have been bagged, some things have been squished or broken. I think out of every regular grocery store, Publix is my favorite but I do miss shopping at Trader Joes.

I am on the fence about Publix. Are they a generally cleaner store than when this location was a Bi Lo? Yes. The staff are friendlier too, though sometimes too much so. Especially when they first opened — I couldn’t walked more than a few feet without someone asking if I needed help.
They do have a good International section with a variety of options from different countries. The sushi is a very good quick lunch option, and they have some well-​priced pre-​packaged sandwiches if you are trying to get back to your desk.
The wine organization irritates me so I have only purchased one bottle from them and I probably couldn’t find it again if I tried. They organize their wine by «flavor profile» instead of white /​red and subcategories or even region. I know what type of wine I like and it is much easier when a store places all the pinots in one section and the cabs in another. I miss the Bi Lo organization and discount on wine. I will mention that Publix does wine and snack tastings, though I am not sure of the schedule.
The clerks are friendly and even wait at the end of their register when they are open and not currently serving a customer. They will take your cart to the parking lot and give you a coupon for free applesauce once they have loaded your groceries into your vehicle. Everything I have purchased from there has been good quality, but the prices are higher than expected unless you catch something on discount. I do like that you don’t have to keep track of a loyalty card to get their discounts; they automatically give them to you.

Be prepared when you come to Publix. And I don’t mean just having your reusable bags ready.
Be prepared to be greeted cheerfully by pretty much every person working there. Be prepared for clean and brightly lit aisles and picture-​perfect shelves and plump fresh produce. Be prepared for a clerk to come rushing to your aid when you really just wanted that one bulb of fennel, but three of them decide to come crashing down on you because foot-​long fronds are ridiculous!
Be prepared for a wonderfully full and varied inventory of healthful foods at really good prices. Be prepared to find plenty of affordable organic meats and cage-​free eggs. Be prepared to find awesome things that you can’t find at other stores! (Seriously, truly whole wheat English muffins and Amish cheese? Yum!!)
Then be prepared for a fast and easy checkout experience, complete with a big easy-​to-​read screen as your items are being scanned in and your bill tallied. Be prepared to be asked if you would like help to your car each and every time.
Lastly, be prepared to not want to shop anywhere else ever again for your groceries. You have been warned.

My favorite place to shop is Publix. This is the second Publix that I have been to. Usually, up at the one in Huntersville. Look forward to another Publix opening up in Cornelius. In general, I shop at Publix like 3 – 4 times a week. They are so convenient for me that after hours I run and pick up milk and snacks.
Their Publix brand of products are really good. The roasted chicken that comes in BBQ, Lemon Pepper, and Mojo. Always, someone to help out with recipes for fish and cooking meats.
Prices are inexpensive and there is no need for a membership card. Always shop for their specials and weekly sales this is where you get the best bargains.

Beyond excited to have a great grocery store close to home. I absolutely hated Food Lion (but the clients who shopped there, the prices, and the quality of meast/​produce). The workers around the store ALWAYS ask you how you’re doing and if you need any help with anything. They have great sales every week … this place is the BEST! And their fresh sushi counter is amazing.

Coming here makes me so happy. The staff is always friendly! However, watch your back… i’ve seen people begging for money inside the store and trying to sell Rap CD’s…aside from the few weirdos that enter, this is a great location

I love Publix. Very clean stores with very a very wide selection of just about anything. They have tons of lunch options and their Aprons program is great for inspiration.
You will have plenty of people offer to help and/​or make recommendations. They are really good with service here.
The only thing that wasn’t cool is I let a guy ahead of me in the sushi line and the lady gave him a discount since she knew him… which is fine, but kind of weird when I bought the same thing directly behind him for more money. Ah nepotism …
Anyway I like it better than the Teeter in many ways so I think Publix will be my future grocery store.

I CANNOT express how happy I am to finally have a real grocery store close to home. You never know how much you appreciate the convenience of a local grocery store until Walmart is your only option. Ugh.
So, I very happily welcome Publix to the neighborhood. As previous reviews have mentioned, it’s super clean, well lit, stocked and has some of the nicest employees ever! I’m also a fan of their subs with Boars Head meat (which you can order online and avoid the long lunch line) and their sushi is freshly made and really fresh! I’m a huge fan of this place!
I mean… really…what more can a girl ask for!?!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Publix is simply amazing. It is exactly what grocery shopping should feel like. I hate walking in to a Walmart. Sure, prices are cheap, but everything feels dirty and the employees hate life. It is a miserable experience. Publix is the exact opposite. Super clean, well lit, organized, and full of smiling employees… What’s not to love! The prices are a bit higher than Wally World, but the quality and upgraded shopping experience are well worth the extra pennies. They also have an amazing deli bar with Boar’s Head Meats.

Everyone seems to love Publix and I haven’t been to one since I lived in Atlanta over 17 years ago so this was my first chance to see what a newer Publix had to offer.
I went in here for some sort of lunch item because I couldn’t find a parking spot at Panera. I was hoping Publix was like Harris Teeter and had a salad bar. Nope, they do not, or at least it was not where I would expect it.
What they do have is a deli that creates custom sandwiches which are extremely popular as the line was 25 deep and they were lined up through the deli area so if you wanted to see if they had premade sandwiches you had to fight through all the people.
Finally found SMALL pre-​made sandwiches and side salads. But it was so crowded that I could not see if they had any condiments for my sandwich. At this point I was thoroughly annoyed and just wanted to get out of there. But NOoooooo. Couldn’t get out that easy. Then I get stuck behind people who want to walk 3 wide and hog and entire aisle and walk as slow as possible.
Honestly the Bi-​lo that was here before was more organized for the deli area. Their sandwich and hot food bar was right in front which made more sense.
What saved this from being a 2-​star review is the customer service up front. Somebody was waiting for me and took me right away. Yay and she and the bagger were very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the Publix reusable bag too. I only had 2 items though so it seemed like a waste.
So far Publix, I am not a fan but I only came here for a QUICK in and out for lunch. I probably will not be a regular here because it’s not close to home but they are building a Publix near me so there is still hope. And if I do come back, I’ll remember to take a late lunch.
