Love their subs!! Might be blasphemy to some of you but I'm fond of their fried chicken also.

The misses work schedule makes her wake up at 4am, mine us a late 2nd shift, so even in our best efforts there is about 3 hours where she has to be in bed, and I can't go to sleep, only reason I'd ever get on gag right now.
This is my first time in Florida this late in the year, usually I come late spring/early summer. Weather wasn't too bad today, hoping the rest of the week stays as nice

Just had some tonight and had similar thoughts. It was the freshest I've ever had it from there and I was blown away.
Further proof that you are indeed the worst kind of person.
I lived in Florida for 2 years and never had one. But I was THREE YEARS OLD
Wegmans will always be better.
These are the best subs. This summer I was back in Upstate NY and I stuffed three Danny's into my already-tight luggage because there's nothing even close on the west coast. They're so good I practically traveled cross-country for them.
The one time I had a publix sub it made me sick, so I'm a bit bitter.

Had a buffalo chicken tender sub today before hitting up siesta key, not bad guys, not bad at all

My personal favorite. I get mine with ranch, lettuce, peppers, pickles, and tomato.

So is there a difference between a grinder, hoagie and sub?

As far as grocery store subs go:
- Wegmans
- Publix

Just tried one and this is pretty much my opinion.
It was indeed very good meat, and some fresh bread, but it was 7.50 for a footlong sandwich. For that price, I would probably just go to Firehouse.

I dont like people who say hoagie.
Wegmans is pretty damned great, but Publix has them beat when it comes to their subs
Wegmans will always be better.
I totally agree.

If you all are looking for some unique evening places in Sarasota try out The Cock and Bull on Cattleman road. Craft beer bar with 30 varieties on tap and hundreds in the coolers. I go there a couple times a week. Fantastic service and the owners Howie and Dawn are usually out hanging with regulars and live giving recommendations. Howie especially knows his beers, man is a genius.

I feel ya OP. I only get to a Publix once a year when I'm on vacation in Florida and when I'm there I always make sure to get a Cuban. Soooo damn good.

Grinder is hot, hoagie is cold. A sub is some bastardization of a hoagie if you get it somewhere outside of the Philly/South Jersey area.
Shit, you'd pay almost that at Subway for some of their nasty attempts at a sub. I buy one of those italian suckers and eat one half for lunch and one half for dinner.

anyone saying subway etc is lying; OP is truth.
i love publix - worked there as a kid, and after hurricane andrew when everything else down south was getting looted? they wisely brought in a few employees to hand out bread/water and stuff that was gonna go bad anyway to help out the community. it was a brilliant PR move.

i wish i could patronize them more these days, but where i moved, winn-dixie and wal-mart are closer/cheaper at the moment

Uhhh...no, not at any store I have shopped that isn't Walmart.
Publix subs are my favorite subs and the also make my favorite birthday cakes, but as far as doing my shopping there............. no way in hell am I paying those ridiculous prices for stuff I can buy pretty much anywhere else cheaper. I might go in just to pick the ad items up, but they have way too high of a mark up on almost everything that isn't on sale.

This thread is so full of truth it hurts. Born and raised in Florida, worked at Publix for my first part-time job and used to eat a whole Boar's Head Ultimate with extra swiss every shift. Easily better than any JJ, Firehouse, or Subway sub I've ever tried, and better than most deli sandwiches in my limited experience.
Now that I live in Japan, Publix subs are easily in the top 5 things I crave (the others being turkey, Mexican food, good pizza, and beer). Every year when I go home for Christmas I make sure to stop by a Publix before getting home to pick up a sub.
Publix brand sweet tea and eggnog are also pretty awesome. Apparently they are also one of the best companies to work for in the US.

So since this is a Florida collective thread, figured maybe I can get some recommendations. Headed to Tampa tomorrow for the Yuengling brewery and the aquarium, looking for other things to do plus recommendations for good non national chain places to eat. I asked a local who had started up a conversation...the suggestions? Carrabas and sopranos pizza (sopranos was horrible).
Pubs, local business, unique..that's what we are looking for.
That is perfect, probably going to check it out wen or thurs
Also my 360 slim power brick got left in my groomsman's car, tried gamestop today but apparently no store in the state has them and they run $50 used, any suggestions gaf?
