By on Sat, Dec 4, 2021 at 9:16 am

Few things inspire loyalty like a favorite grocery store. Throw in the already cultish adherence to the chicken and subs-sling grocery chain and any cross words about a favored Publix Supermarket are bound to start a fight.

With that in mind, we asked folks in the r/Orlando subreddit what their favorite (and least favorite) Publixes are in the Orlando area. Springing from that, we put together the definitive, unquestionable list of the best and worst places to get a Pub Sub in Orlando.

3. The other SoDo Publix 3171 S. Orange Avenue This Publix across the street from our top-winner won plaudits for being not-too-busy. Probably has something to do with the established Publix that's almost literally across the street.
