This is an older, small Publix that is decent for a small town. It is well kept up, clean and they have a lot of nice staff members and nice managers. The deli/hot bar area could use a lot more help though; there are almost always lines there and not enough help to slice deli meat, make sandwiches and/or cook the chickens and hot bar area items, let alone enough help serving them. I think they should do smaller batches of the hot bar items, more frequently to keep items fresher and not overcooked. That area is often neglected with either not much of a selection, especially after 5 pm, and/or overcooked dishes that have been on the hot bar too long; and usually there is no service person dedicated to serving just the hot food bar customers in that area; they seem short-staffed with oblivious help in the fryer area focused more on cooking chicken tenders (used mostly in the deli sandwich making area) and chicken pieces for boxes to put out. They are more often than not out of the Greenwise natural roasted chickens after 5. And regular roasted chickens are low too. But I don't care for the roasted chickens that have a lot of fluid solution injected into them. So I go without unless they have the Greenwise more natural type roasted chickens. They have a decent produce selection, but are lacking some of my favorite gourmet cheeses and other gourmet products that are available at most bigger Publix locations. But they do have a lot of items that aren't going to be found at Winn Dixie or Walmart. It's the best overall grocery store in Okeechobee. And I recommend using their app to see the sales items which run from each Thursday through the next Wed night. You can add items to your list. And make sure you view the digital coupons which you can 'clip' in the app; then when you checkout and enter your phone number associated with the app, their system will enter your clipped coupon discounts and/or BOGO deals. Otherwise you may miss out on some great deals each week! They are open 7-10 M-Sat and until 9 on Sunday except on holidays. And they have a water filtering machine (.50/gal) on the left side of the storefront, outside, that you can use 24/7.

A joy to shop here. I've lived around the U.S. and abroad and this may be my favorite conventional grocery store. Unfortunately I don't live near it but whenever I'm in the south, I enjoy stopping in for some groceries. You can tell the chain takes pride in what they do.

Publix service is amazing, helpful Employees and respectful and customer service is very good I recommend shopping at any Publix store

Homemade Key Lime Pie is fantastic and price is very reasonable, considering that their groceries are expensive. Not to miss.

This is one of the smaller Publix stores I have been to, but it was surprisingly clean and tidy & the aisles were clear and easy to get down. The deli area looked well stocked even though they were busy; the blue cheese burger patties we got in the meat dept were average tasting, but they were huge, even after cooking. The lotto/tobacco counter is suuuuper slow and one employee actually sent people away from her register even with like 4 other people in line at the only other register there. I had to give 4 stars because of that experience. But I have never met friendlier cashiers at any Publix store in Florida, so that bumped this review up a star. I will be back due to the convenient location and big parking lot.

Hands down, the best grocery store in Okeechobee County. Granted it is a bit more expensive, but I feel that this very slight disparity is warranted by several other positive points. Chief among these points is the customer service that Publix is known for. I have consistently experienced this over the thirty-plus years that I have been shopping here. The store is clean, products are displayed in a neat and orderly fashion, and if you can't find something, employees and managers will literally drop what they're doing and help you. Another often overlooked quality is the attitude of the employees. I can tell that Publix treats their employees well because they look happy to be at work. That's important to me because I know that when I'm treated well at work, my productivity improves and so does my attitude. Walmart may be more affordable, but Publix makes me feel like they actually appreciate me shopping at their store. You can keep the extra money Walmart, I'll continue to shop where I'm appreciated.

Great subs! The deli staff is very friendly and will make my sub exactly as I wish. Price is competitive with other chain shops. Always fresh and quick.

When we visit Okeechobee we stay at Pier II Resort and visit Publix, which is not far away, for all our grocery needs. They are always super helpful. Not being familiar with the store, I asked someone in produce where a grocery item was, expecting that she would tell me which aisle to go to. No, she stopped what she was doing and took me all the way down several aisles to find what I needed. They are just the best. Good, quality food, too.
