Publix Super Markets

Passing through Valdosta and I needed a reliable grocery store to pick up some snacks, baby items, and lunch. This Publix met all my expectations.
The baker was cheerful as he gave my children their favorite cookies. The store was clean and well kept. Deli service was on par and the cashiers entertained a conversation with my children while the bagger got a balloon for them. I was escorted to my car and groceries were placed in the van while I got my littles in their seats.
Thank you Publix for being just what I needed/​expected even miles from home!

Publix has always been the only grocery store my family and I will shop at. They are the cleanest around town and have the friendliest customer service. Many say they are priced higher than most, but it is totally worth it. I will always shop here!

The store is clean and well stocked. The buy one get one deals are the best! Their non sale prices are a little higher than other stores but If you plan it right you can stock up while saving money. They do offer items you can’t get other stores so if you are looking for a speciality item check them out!

Best grocery store in Valdosta. Very clean store and it has a great selection of items that I can’t find at other grocery stores. Meat and seafood selection is high quality and the main reason I go. Produce section is large and also includes items that I can only find here. Employees are always helpful and polite. Prices are a little higher than other stores but so is the quality. :) Deli is fantastic and has a small seating area to eat. The only grocery store that I will eat sushi from! That speaks volumes!

Great store where the customer is recognized on center stage. Cheaper than ghetto unfriendly Harvey’s. In Georgia, you can buy one on the Buy 1 Get 1 Free sales. The one item will be half price. Great deal if you don’t need 2.

Good quality and good selection however it’s pricey.

best grocery store and deli in town

It’s a Publix, nuff said. One of the smaller format stores so you won’t have all the items you find in an Atlanta or Jacksonville Publix, but it does have the simple things that other stores find so hard to do – like be clean, have it in stock, have people who smile at customers. Yes, you’ll pay less at Wal-​Mart but you’ll pay for the brutality of the experience. I’m a regular. With two teenage boys, I’m putting several people through school at Publix.

Wow — the subs that they make in the deli are delicious! You have your choice of Publix brand or Boar’s Head brand deli meat My tip for you is to spend the extra money and get the boars head brand deli meat subs. You won’t be disappointed! Very friendly and accomodating staff as well. if you are tired of the all the big name sub shops in Valdosta, give the Publix deli a try.

Def the best place in town to by groceries, however it is also the most expensive. They have the biggest produce selection and tons of organic choices. Not a lot of coupons tho and really far away from the AFB in the area.

Publix is my favorite and ONLY grocery store I purchase groceries from in Valdosta. It is always clean, well lit and the staff members are always smiling and ready to help you. I live near Moody AFB but I have no problem taking that drive to Valdosta Mall. Their deli is top notch. I love their fresh subs and freshly sliced meat which is always brimming with flavor. Top your Publix deli sub with «submarine» sauce. It’s a mixture of oil, vinegar and herbs! The spicy fried chicken wings and drumlets which are boxed and ready for purchase in the deli are delicious as well!

I. Am. In. Love. With. Publix. As a former citizen of Valdosta, I miss this place with all of my heart. Luckily, here in Texas we have H-E-B’s, but since I live in a smaller town than V-​Town, no such luck. Nonetheless, Publix is a great grocery store if you are looking for fresh food and friendly service. They usually have items that you can’t find in any other grocery store and that is why I make sure to stock up on goods that I can’t find in Texas, there before I go. If you are looking for fresh food, great deals and friendly people, Publix is the place to be!

Best grocery store, hands down, in Valdosta. The prices aren’t as good as Walmart, but I don’t exactly like what Walmart does in order to get those cheap prices. I buy all my meat from Publix because it actually tastes like meat and not like just salt brine. Everything is so clean, the staff is super friendly, and most importantly, the food is great. I’ve rarely, if ever, seen moldy or rotten produce on their shelves, their in-​store salads made with the produce reserves are always fresh and taste like ripe fruit and vegetables and nothing else. They have the best organics department in town. The seafood department is better than most seafood-​only places in town… never smells bad, fish is never dried out and is kept on ice, they offer never-​frozen Mayport shrimp, and the sushi department is right next door and offers some really tasty sushi with an ever-​expanding menu selection. Then you add in their deli department (subs better than you’d find at one of those fast food chains) and a bakery that uses real butter in their icing so it doesn’t leave that nasty oil slick on your tongue like other places that use shortening or lard. Great for hard-​to-​find ingredients as well. Only place I’ve ever found that carries anchovy paste. At first I found that I spent more money in Publix than when I went to Walmart, but then I noticed that it tends to last longer. I developed a real appreciation for food and made simple meals like that didn’t require a lot of costly meats or had to be made in large quantities. Really intense and rich ingredients like the anchovy paste just needed some pasta, garlic and some fresh veggies to create a filling supper. If you’re the typical meat and potatoes cook who prefers things that come in boxes, then Walmart is the best store for you (and I don’t say that as an insult) because they can offer these things at lower prices. However, if you like to experiment with recipes, go for the more exotic dishes, or are the type of person that values quality over quantity, then Publix is the place to shop.

I can say with conviction that this is my favorite grocery store in the whole world. Sure, there are bigger, nicer stores with larger selections and fancier organic foods, but I have never felt so at home in any other grocery store. The staff (for the most part) is exceptionally friendly and my husband and I know most of them by name. The man that Whitney T. referred to who works in the meat department will even specially cut a piece of meat for you based on your specifications. Everything is laid out in a systematic, logical manner, which makes finding what you need a breeze. The store is always clean and it is never too crowded when we go. It’s hands down the best meat and produce available in a Valdosta grocery store.
I disagree with another review that said this store doesn’t compare with larger Publix stores in Atlanta. I lived in Atlanta for years and shopped at Publix frequently. The stores may be larger (although the ones I went to weren’t), but I can guarantee their staffs couldn’t hold a candle to the staff at the Valdosta Publix.

Love, love, love Publix and love this location. This is the best grocery store to shop at in Valdosta. They are sooo helpful and friendly also. I even had one of the workers help me get everything on my list once (I was making a special recipe). There is a Black man that works in the meat department that is extremely helpful and nice. He makes my day :). This is actually my favorite Publix. They do an outstanding job!

This Publix is your best bet for grocery shopping in Valdosta but it just doesn’t compare to the much larger Publix stores in Atlanta. Their selection is better than anywhere else in Valdosta, but again it is not on par with the larger Publix stores found in bigger cities. I have found that many times you can pick up many things cheaper at Publix than at Wal-​Mart (like milk, bread, ect.) And it’s nice not to have to fight through the mess and clutter with the rest of the riff raff that shops at Wal-​Mart.

Sure, they don’t have Winn-Dixie’s ubiquitous buy one, get one free deals, or Harvey’s creepily folksy low-​budget advertising, but when I plan to get into some SERIOUS BUSINESS in the kitchen, I head to Publix first. Until Valdosta gets a Whole Foods, New Leaf, or similar market, Publix is the best destination for organic and specialty ingredients. Need ground buffalo? How about preserved grape leaves? Habaneros? Plain yogurt meant for human consumption? Maybe some obscure cheese? This is the place. I’m also a huge fan of the Boar’s Head subs from the deli department. Do yourself a favor and go for the garlic pickles.
