Publix Market is the only game in town in this part of Florida and they take advantage of it. The prices are as much as 25-100% higher than other markets. It is outrageous. I visited the Publix in Largo, Florida and purchased vegan bagels I always get. I paid more than Whole Foods. Then when I went to repurchase them here in Pensacola, they were DOUBLE the price. That's right folks, double!! How are they getting away with what is clearly price gouging. The employees are friendly enough and I only hope these insane prices are reflected in their pay. They are a minimum of $1 higher on every item I am used to buying and often more than that. It's nuts. I guess people here are just used to it. This area offers very few options and as a home chef and foodie it's very challenging to shop outside of Publix. But I'm gonna find a way. PUBLIX treat your customers with more respect and stop gouging them.

Very clean store and stocked well. The prices are higher, but hey, you're on the island; it's to be expected. All of the employees are available. They literally stand at a place throughout the store in case you need assistance. That's so helpful for non residents. They have a fresh soup counter. I got the wild mushroom bisque and the lobster bisque. Fantastic! I may have to go back. They have a good stock of pool and ocean toys; much better than other grocery stores near by. They also have sunscreen (the good stuff: Sun Bum), flip flops and clothing. Friendly service and a nice environment.

I have been coming in for a long time, and Tyler in the deli is always so friendly to my children and I. It's always nice being a regular somewhere and having employees there to make you feel special and cared for!

I ordered a birthday cake. I wanted the same cake I'd ordered from this same Publix bakery two years ago. As a reference, I took a picture with me of the previous cake. The only different thing I wanted was the top of this cake to be left plain white. I wanted every other part of the cake to be the same as the one from two years ago. I asked for extra dark purple frosting that I'd need to use after I got the cake home. I did receive a clamshell of extra frosting. It's lilac. Lilac. I asked for dark purple. I got lilac. Also, the cake that was supposed to be dark purple is actually royal blue. What a joke. If I hadn't been in a pinch and needing this cake right away I wouldn't have accepted the sorry product I paid for. I've used this bakery for five cakes over the last two years. Never again. I don't know what happened but this is the ugliest, most wrong cake I've ever ordered and received. I'm adding pictures so you can see the differences in the cake I got two years ago and what I got today. Also, you'll see the extra frosting I got and how it's not dark purple. I'm embarrassed to serve this at a birthday party. You can't get good service anymore.

Their prices aren't as cheap as my favorite store at home, but I had a nice visit to this Publix while on vacation.Everyone who worked there was friendly. The potatoes and watermelon we purchased was fresh.I tried their popular fresh made deli sandwiches and it was good. I custom ordered the Italian sandwich and it was stuffed. It was $9.69 for the sandwich and I was able to share it with my husband. We also ordered the chicken tenders and fried chicken thighs from the hot foods section and it was a bad idea. My kids didn't like the tenders and our thighs were bland. They were crunchy and smelled yummy but they were needed some seasoning. I had to make a homemade dipping sauce for the chicken to taste good.They had the ice cream I was looking for and there aisles were organized.I got a coupon for creating an account with Publix. It was $5 off a $30 purchase. 0Overall, Publix had everything I needed. I would go here again next time I lodge nearby during vacation.

I love you guys at Publix, I do. I have a huge problem with your jalapenos tasting like bell peppers that someone spilled some black pepper on. Can we have the real jalapenos back?

This is strictly for the bakery. We've been getting specialty cakes and key lime pies here for 20 years, but never reviewed. The key lime pies are truly great. It's amazing how many people comment on them when we serve them and how many others get this pie when they want to serve for someone else.The specialty (birthday, anniversary, etc) cakes are all very well done, quality cake and icings and served with a smile.

Relatively close to Pensacola Beach, we passed by for a bathroom break and to purchase some supplies for our ongoing road trip.Bathroom was pretty clean and it was easy to find everything we needed. Admittedly though we did have to ask an employee where one of our items in our shopping list was. This Publix seemed to be a bit different from the ones I'm used to.All in all, it made for a decent stop. We were in and out and on our way to Alabama right after this.

This is the worst 'filet' I have ever had in my life. My husband and I went to Publix today to pick some nice filets from the precut market and instead received sticky goo. Everything looked fine on the outside, but then we cooked the meat and cut into it. It was just mush. When touched it stuck to your fingers and felt like something your kids slime. Disgusting. I posed a video of the texture.

I love grocery shopping In Publix while we are in Florida. This Publix is close to Pensacola Beach where we were staying, and the staff were very very friendly. So much that I was startled that unknown to me an employee followed me to my car to get my basket to return it to the store. Wow! Great customer service. Also love their pharmacy. I had to get a script refilled and it was done quickly and no issues.Yes, Publix cost more but worth paying for quality fruit, meat, and veggies. The fruit was fresh and an abundance of veggies. I really liked the deli sandwich bar...many selections. Staff wore Facemasks, and were constantly cleaning.

Expect premium prices on most items. It's the closest grocery store to Pensacola Beach so it's where we stopped for groceries. The employees are friendly and there's a nice assortment of fresh and organic items. The deli has a delicious rotisserie "mojo" chicken, and the bakery has tasty guava pastries, and muffins. Only issue was their signature large tiramisu was the worst we've ever had! (The texture was of cornbread with sweet syrup drenching it. The flavors were all off too. Not sure what happened when this was baked but it was $13 in the trash.)

Yesterday we stopped in this Publix location to pick up beach supplies on the way to the beach. We loved the store & bakery. Everything was very nice. We found very nice Pinot Noir brut Rosé champagne & fabulous cakes. The Manager saw us buying tons of stuff & helped us locate the double walled tumblers. We got a very cool one the "sleek" version. Anyhoo, we went to the deli & pickedUp a box of spicy chicken wings. Hubby's fave. When we got to the beach, I ate 3 of them & told hubby I didn't think they were fully cooked so I only ate the 3. Hubby ate almost all of them. This morning, I'm not feeling my best & hubby is in bad shape. We eat these all the time from all the locations. We have never had a issue before. To the management: Thank you for your help yesterday while we were shopping in your store. We loved yourCustomer service. Please check the deli. They are not cookingThe chicken wings long enough.

First as someone who only visits Florida once every year or so I love Publix. I always look forward to going to this supermarket. This was my first time in this location but just like all the others the Store was clean as new and every employee seemed to love their jobs. I went early in the morning and the smell of fresh Sourdough bread baking. When I asked the bakery lady she confirmed and asked if I wanted her to slice a loaf for me. I said I will take 3 and they were hot when I got to our rental. They are still not doing the samples at the deli counter but they have great meats and cheeses.
