This is the Publix where I do most of my grocery shopping. It is clean, well organized and nicely run. Usually parking isn’t too bad, except on weekend afternoons when it can get pretty crowded. Like all Publixes, I love that the«buy one get one» deals don’t require you to buy two, which is good since it is just my wife and I. The bakery is good and usually has plenty of bread. Never had any problems with meat or seafood — usually very helpful. The lines are never long and they are quick to open up extra lanes if things start to back up. I had to ding them one star because I have had so many problems with the deli staff. One time we ordered a fried chicken and they didn’t seem to know about our order when we arrived to pick it up(the manager did give us 50% off though which was nice). They also often seem clueless on how to make the special sub of the month. Otherwise this is a great Publix!

Publix is where I do most of my grocery shopping. This one is on par with all the other Publix’s. Or what’s the plural of Publix? Is it Publix’, is it Publixes? Maybe it’s Publii. Who knows? Anyway, the parking lot here is an obstacle course of bad drivers and even worse pedestrians. It’s always busy, so good luck finding a decent spot less than 100 yards from the storefront. And the Customer Service desk at this Publix is like a busy bar @ the night club. Other than that, it’s Publix.

Great store in a terrific plaza(including my favorite manicure /pedicure spot, Hammond Nails). This location even has a SunTrust open on Saturdays until 6 pm! The only drawback to this otherwise outstanding Publix is the impossibly busy parking lot with one way rows of angled slots that many drive down in the reverse way to snag a tough to find spot! Service and quality are top notch once you finally make your way inside, and the cleanliness and variety of fresh produce, meat and seafood is great. Worth a stop if you’re driving by on this outer Buckhead stretch of Roswell Rd, but not a destination Publix like the one at Town Brookhaven.

Super clean, courteous, helpful staff and gotta say I love the«buy one get one deals.» Specialty items can be found here that Kroger just doesn’t carry and never have to worry about the staff eating, drinking or talking on their phones while you are in line they are here for you. One of the staples in my pantry is «stock» and occasionally run out and almost always have a back up «Better Than Bullion» you will find on the shelf these stock pastes can be a lifesaver once opened just keep them in the fridge and use what you need when you need it. Love the Mardi Gras Wings every once in awhile and the Publix lobster bisque in the frozen aisle by the seafood is rich and yummy sometimes I add a touch of sherry before serving !

Publix is a great grocery store, and this one happens to be super conveniently located on the way to my apartment from work. This makes it perfect for me to stop by if I want to grab a quick, non-fast food dinner on a work night, when I usually don’t buy groceries. I like that there is always plenty of parking available, but they’re diagonal lines and you can only park on the right side when you drive in so that cars that come in from the opposite side can park on the left side. Several times, there were parking spots close to the entrance to the store, but they were on the left side. So I had to park a little further on the right side. Boo. Since it’s so convenient, I’ve been to this Publix at least once a week since I moved to my new apartment. On the night of the $ 550+ million jackpot lottery, I bought three Powerball tickets here right after work. Surprisingly, they weren’t as crazy busy I thought they would be. Obviously, I didn’t win, but it was fun trying. The food at the deli is yummy, and I like that they usually have specials for their chicken dinners. I like their fried chicken but the various rotisserie chickens are very good, too. The potato wedges are flavorful and best when hot. It would be nice if the Publix mac ‘n cheese had more flavor, but that’s just a minor complaint. And I know this is random, but I really appreciate that their plastic utensils are individually wrapped in plastic. Not only that, they’re actually strong and the plastic knives cut pretty well. I love plastic utensils because I don’t have to wash them. =) Last but not least, I love when Publix has cooking demos and serve samples of their latest recipes. Recently, they had this sample of a veal entrée. They’re always generous with the portion of the samples they offer. I had NEVER tried veal before, and I thought it was really tasty! Wish I had grabbed a recipe card, but I probably wouldn’t have ever made it anyway. Almost every employee that I have spoken with here was extra kind and helpful. The one time I wasn’t too happy was when the employee at the deli didn’t know about their dinner special and tried to charge me the regular price. When I told her I wanted to talk to a manager, she got one of her co-workers to help her put the special price label on it. Then, she cracked a smile as she handed my food to me. Overall, this Publix gets 4.5 stars for its well-organized, clean store environment and friendly employees. I’m really glad that this location is so convenient for me, and I will continue to frequent this store as long as I live in the vicinity. [Review 340 of 366]

This is my publix of choice. My usual options are this or Disco Kroger, and I’m picking this one every time. I feel like there is a mark-up on everything at Disco Kroger, but that’s an aside. There is a huge amount of parking here. I’ve never had to drive around looking for a spot. The staff are the friendliest in town, and they have a great selection in every department. The produce section really shines here relative to the other Publix’s around the area. The level of customer service just does not stop. I have had a few great experiences with the butchers here. They are always happy to break down packages or cut you new ones if you don’t like the selection. They really put in the extra effort and it shows.

One of the older, more cramped Publix compared to the some of the newer, deluxe«A» stores. Just a bit down Roswell from the Fresh Market and are not trying to appeal to that market, despite the neighborhood. Someone who appreciates a more basic/conventional shopping experience than me might enjoy shopping here more than I would. Buckhead Whole Foods and the Publix near Oglethorpe Univ. on Peachtree are more to my taste
