Reviews of Fareway Grocery (Fruit Store)

Bob Derksen

Nice clean grocery store with a great meat counter!

Diana Jo

Always good prices, great meat dept, always clean, always friendly. Easy to get in and out easily. They call up checkers and nd baggers if there are 2 or 3 in lines. Great Express line.

Solomon Berhanu

Great place to shop, I have great service most times, except there was several occasions cashier was rude and unprofessional, I am doing my best avoiding "her", other wise it is nice place fair price most time.

Debbie Sladek

Went to West store, liked it a lot more selection

Kathy Hicklin

Great place to shop. They don't have the frills of the competition but the have better prices, very good service & hands down the best meat Dept on town.

I am an a one-grocery store type of shopper. If it isn't at Fareway, I don't drive all over town to find it. Fareway is well-stocked, clean, service-orientated, cost comparable to all the grocery stores in the area. And if a person can find it cheaper someplace else, Fareway will match the price. The clerks and grocery staff have become my friends over the years. We are privileged to have a Fareway in our area.

Some Meats and chicken are not fresh

Jacob McClernon

Old fashioned service! They take your groceries to your car and have an awesome meat counter. A little underwhelming as far as it comes to specialty items, but that's not their thing. All American for sure.

Hesston Johnson

Great Store!! Best meat in town

John Bon Jovi

None of the meat department staff wear gloves and the culture of the place may as well be 1950.

Farhan Islam

Their meat section is the best in Ames. Everything is very fresh and you can ask them to cut it anyway you want. Price is also relatively very cheap.

Truly a great grocery store. Quality from the people to the merchandise. Very fortunate to have Fareway near us.

Alaina

Excellent staff. I asked a young gentleman in produce by the name of Nick where I could find fresh dill. He apologized when he informed me it was out. With out my asking he looked and found some in the back. Then found me at the register before I left. Great customer service.

Amie Steiert

Fareway is the best!!!!

One of the best Fareways I've been to and I shop here more than anywhere else. The store is small enough that you don't have to go on an expedition to get a few groceries on your way home from work. Everyone knows they have the best meat and affordable prices! The trade-off is limited selection, but this particular Fareway has improved a lot in recent years. They even have a small health food section. However, I have to knock a half star off because 50% of the time I go in for fresh herbs, they're completely out of what I'm looking for. I understand that herbs don't stay fresh long, but it is a bummer when you have to drive across town for something so seemingly simple. Still my favorite grocery store in town, though!

Tim Simmons

Very nice and well stocked meat was well priced!

Jonah Heskje

If my body is a temple, then fareway is the holy land

Jeffrey Conner

I love how friendly everyone is at Fareway. They will frequently greet me by name when I come in. Also, It doesn't take me long to get everything I need since it's a smaller store. It's a great shopping experience every time.

Eleonora Ts

The only things I can say I struggle with is all together finding my way in this store. It could very well be me, but I find myself walking around searching for something almost every time. Staff is nice otherwise. Maybe even too nice. I particularly do not like all the bagging and walking me to the car. I'm sure other people will appreciate it, not me. I also think they should let customers push their cart to their car on their own and unload groceries. I have no desire to steal a cart, I really don't. Otherwise I'm happy with their groceries selection, meat is always fresh and well stocked and staff is always great. If you felt a notch of complaining, it's towards policy, not staff.

Tom Paulin

Thanks

Scott Chance

Always buy my meat from fareway meat counter... Usually always good..Tonite ate some sirloin that was REALLY bad...Come on guys throw the crap away and get back to selling quality and stop worrying about corporate profits!!

Elizabeth Smolsky

This location has a helpful staff and I found some great deals!

Marilee Eischeid

Always clean and well-stocked. Friendly, helpful workers. Excellent meat selection and service! Car carts for little kids to ride in. They'll help you carry your groceries to your car. You can redeem cans and glass bottles here. They also have their own version of a Redbox by the exit with a good selection of current and favorite movies.

Christine Ricker

Easy to find what you want

Jenn Shoop

They were very friendly and helpful. I'd never shopped here before and they showed me the ropes very nicely. They help you put everything in your car and load and unload your cart for you. Great experience

Martha Mccormick

Love this grocery store

Juan Medina

I have been going here for about a month but lately the environment has been feeling more discriminating it's really to the point where I will presume myself unwelcomed especially when your in line and the customer before and after you are greeted with smiling faces and hello's and your not even present to the cashiers even a simple eye contact is rare

Christine Barta

Great meat Dept.

Connie R.

(Translated by Google) Excelent service (Original) Exelente servicio

Will Koehrsen

A medium-sized grocery store with great customer service, wide selection, reasonable prices. The prices are between Hyvee (slightly higher) and Kroger (slightly lower) but the service is the best you will find at a grocery store.

Tim Lupardus

Excellent meat department

Madi Jacobsen

Great people! Willing to help Great fruit & meat

John Hellyer

Great grocery store beats hyvee all day. The price difference is unbelievable. Same products half the price.

Gary Garman

You walk in and cashiers say hi if they are not helping other customers. If you can't find something you just ask one of the many employees stockings the shelves. The meat department is second to none. Butchers are knowledgeable and friendly even if you ask them a question. The meat has great flavor and they wrap it up in the quantities you want in each package. Then a very nice lady checks out your groceries while another person bags up your groceries and follows you out to load them into your vehicle just to finish up with a thank you and have a great day all with a smile. Just the same as when I would go with mom to Fareway some 50 yrs ago. Not everything needs to change! Just saying, from my perspective.

Christopher Marchman

Some of the customer service needs improvement.

Michael Standfest

Locally owned and operated grocery store, low prices and they even carry out your bags to your car.

Antoine Johnson

Always a good place to get that choice meat and the values comes when you can catch those weekly specials.

Dalene Roher

Shopping at Fareway is always great. The meat department is wonderful and the employees are so helpful and friendly.

Lon Kluxdal

Great meat department!

Robert Crawford

Always able to park close to the store. Easy to find what I want and fast checkout. The coffee grinder is a high point for me. Fairway is like a giant convenience store!

Andrew McCubbin

Competitive prices on staples, beats Hy-Vee sales prices often on produce and some deli cheese items.

Steven Feddersen

Twice in as many months I have bought beer at Fareway and got home within 10 minutes and beer was warm, the beer cooler person is not putting warm beer in back and cold beer in front, will think twice before buying beer there again!!!

Greg Johnson

Fareway Grocery is really convenient for people living on the west side of Iowa City. It's a small store compared to others in the area but they have a great section including some nice wines, cheeses, and Kalona Super Natural organic milk. The staff people are really friendly and helpful. They offer to help load your groceries in the car and return the cart. They are closed on Sundays.

O Ca

As long as you don't need an uncommon item, best place to get groceries, especially meat. Service is top notch of course.

Amina Nabisardar

Unbelievable, i went to fareway today and saw a mouse in the middle of an aisle, it was alive and moving. We were about to call the manager but someone quietly came in and picked it up. Totally disappointed by fareway. DISGUSTING...

Locally focused supermarket with fewer brands than the larger stores, but everything you need and very friendly clerks. Their specialty is meats and this is the place to go when grilling.

Great selection, friendly staff, and fair priced groceries.

Excellent customer service throughout the store (they unload and bag your cart at checkout), and the butchers are awesome.

nicole wuebker

Enjoyed my first visit at your store. A lot more things than the smaller FAREWAY that I live closer to.

jingyi lu

great service and friendly staff. But not a place to find great bargain. 3 avocado for 1 dollar only but cannot last long. Usually the bread is on sale for quick sale, however staff just forget to apply the price reduction

Yamileth Macedo

tHE MEat slices is the best

Tim Morrison

That's a nice place, bigger, you can find what you are looking, and you're able to move around.

BBS Boy

Closest to me. Fair price most of the time. Like their fresh cutting meat section especially. Only wish they also contain a small restaurant or coffee stop like some other groceries have, so when I don't like to cook, I can just grab a dish and go home eating.

Bhaskar Das

Nice grocery store with very good meat options.

Jim Twetten

Cheaper prices but more limited selection than other grocery stores in town.

David Simmons

Great beer selection. Sullen staff, nothing like Publix there
