The Shoppes at New Tampa — Local services in Wesley Chapel

The Asian Buffet is a great place to eat at. Publix is the only place I like to shop at for groceries. Their deli is great, some of the best sub sandwiches money can buy. If you are like me and Walmart leaves you with a feeling of dread everytime you need to pick up sometime from there, then Publix might just be your solution. They are always clean, well stocked, and the prices are close if not the same. Walmart loves to package cereal in large front but thin boxes, selling 14.6 oz.

The wait staff are always very prompt, friendly and provide very good service, restrooms are clean and we'll serviced as is the general cleanliness of the entire restaurant. If you are a first time visitor, you will not be...

I usually love Publix. I am never disappointed with their quality or selection. However, today, I was. Grapes were on sale, and they looked great. I sampled one off the top and the fla or was outstanding, I grabbed a large bag that turned out to be over 3 pounds of grapes. I hadn't eaten all day, so I rinsed them off (a challenge on its own when in a car) and started munching. I discovered that only the top layer of grapes was fresh and crisp. The other 2 and a half pounds were small and slightly mushy, like old grapes. Soooo disappointing. I don't expect that from Publix, and I will think twice before purchasing produce there again. If I wasn't already halfway home I would have...
