Great for your bbq needs. This is a quick place to grab anything you might need for a cookout! High quality Fareway meats and a wide liquor, beer and wine selection. They send out great coupons in the mail once a month also. Fareway prides and quality.
Meat looked great, meat counter help was great. Guy checking us out at the counter was terrible. Apparently he didnt know youre not supposed to slam red meat down after handling it. Good thing my child was with me or it may have been a different story. Sorry you had a busy Saturday but really, respect my purchases especially when they are rare cuts of meat.
Sometimes you just want the best meat, packaged nicely by an attentive crew. This is the place when thats what you want. Great selection of traditional meat market groceries, wine/beer/liquor, cheeses, and grilling supplies.
All Iowans know Fareway is noted for its excellent meat departments. The Fareway Meat Markets take it up another knotch. I know- hard to believe.. Outstanding meat, poultry, and fish options. Great steaks and salmon. If Im hosting something special - I go there. They also have hard to find groceries there as well. If you like meat - this is a must do!
As great as the grocery store. Friendly staff and they have everything I ever wanted and more.
Our experience purchasing and working with our meat order with Manager Andy was top notched. He was so helpful, knowledgeable, and the meat was top choice. Prices were great. I will be going there from now on for my meat orders. Thank you.
So this happened yesterday, and I was going to let it go, but it has been bugging me all morning so here it is. This store has bad service. I walked in yesterday and thought I would get some sushi since I had heard it was good, but I came too late and the selection was gone, thats fine, its first come first served, right?Well, I then saw a soda that I hadnt had in a long time, and got real excited, and picked two out of the cooler, and headed towards check out. No one was at the check out or anywhere outside of the meat counter, which I hadnt noticed until I was standing at self check out. Well nothing scanned, and I tried both self check outs. I then hit the help button on the check out, and turned to try and get the attention of the people behind the meat counter. I was very surprised that they looked like they were actively trying to ignore me, the only customer in the store. This is when I noticed I hadnt even been acknowledged the entire time I was in the store, and probably have won the Buckle challenge here...I ended up getting no help, and decided that it wasnt worth my time, and left. There was so many places that this just felt off and I couldnt tell if it was the staff, the way they have been told to operate, or if it is just how Fareway likes to have things happen. Given that I have never gotten good customer service from any Fareway, I am guessing this is just the company, and that its just not a place for me in the future.Honestly I probably could have walked out with some merchandise and no one would have noticed.
Great deals and great quality meats!
Great place for quality meat and advice/info great customer service
Awesome service and quality meats!!
Bought ribs yesterday. Opened them up to cook today and the meat had already gone bad. Been going a couple times a week for a year, will never return.
Very good selection of quality meats! They also have amazing sushi that is made in house daily. Sometimes waits are longer than most places, but its worth it for the quality customer service and food you get!
Great service and great meat. Plus they will cut you what you want as opposed to another store in the area that only gives you what they want to cut.
Good looking meat for sure.
Great selection of meats and cheeses, and a ton of alcohol at a good price. Will definitely be coming back soon
Staff was very friendly, pointed out good deals. Great selection of meats and cheese. Was excited to see lamb and duck! Sushi made fresh. Large alchohol selection. Clean atmosphere. Would like to see them extend their hot sauce selection but will for sure be coming back.
Need fresh meat but do not want to walk through a giant store? This is your place. Also, they have everything you need for a fast dinner without all of the walking.
Nice place to go for meat, fish, and poultry. Almost always theres a sale on something that they carry. Meat bundle is the ticket.
Become our go to place in town for meat. They always have someone available to help you and have a good variety of quality meat at reasonable prices for Ames.
Great service and reasonable prices! The gentleman helping me was kind enough to individually wrap my porkchops which was a great help! I will definitely be returning!
Awesome Sushi!!!Fareway meat has always been good, so no surprise the meat here is amazing.Wine and liquor selection is awesome as well.Staff is super friendly and willing to get whatever you need.Highly recommended for specialty meat, cheese, booze and some staple items.Prices are highly competitive.
Love the meat market!!!! They are very knowledgeable with all the different kinds of meats there are. A wide variety of meat from beef to Pork to chicken to brats to Seafood. Plus they have a small store inside as well. Will definitely be going back here a lot.
Nice selection of meats cheese and alcohol. Had trouble with code labels. Self check-out worked best for me. The staff were eager to rectify label issues.
Nice caring people with quality product
The gentleman working the counter and cutting the meats were always totally awesome and informative. By my meet there every single time if I could. Totally awesome place
Love this place and the meat selection! It is nice to get in and out quickly and the prices are the same as shopping at a regular Fareway store. Excellent addition to Ames.
Love their sushi counter and There selection or meats are fantastic. They will happily accommodate speciality cuts and are fair priced. Yummy breakfast sausage and brats as well.
From Colorado and was brought here by my friend. Absolutely great selection of meats and wonderful service by Johnny. Would strongly recommend folks come here for there meat selections!
Extremely clean. Nearly brand new building. Selection was pretty big for being a smaller building. Prices werent bad at all. Pretty large alcohol selection and the same goes for cheeses and sauces.They also have s little sushi fridge that wasnt anything crazy but its there.
Was just looking around. Found Ale 8 One on their shelf. Very happy to see this product from home making its way
High quality meats and cheeses!
Great meat, fast service! Thanks!!
Terrific selection of various meats, cheese, wine, and some grocery essentials. The staff is highly informative and helpful. They also have fresh sushi.
Fareway has an amazing meat department and all of their staff are helpful and friendly. I prefer going to Fareway over any other store!
Convenient with a wide variety of meats, seafood and sides. Also sides such as chips, dips, salads, potato/macaroni and juices. Very nice market.
Staff was very friendly. Imaging walking into a barbecue that turned into a store.
Amazing meat selection. Love the USDA Prime and Choise offerings available. Very helpful and friendly staff as well.
My fellow asians, please stop buying frozen pork bellies from asian grocery stores and get your duroc pork bellies here. You’re welcome.
I was just in there today with my mom and was served by Jonny. He was super friendly and helpful, making sure we got the best cuts. Great selection and staff here.
So much meat! All of the meat ice gotten here has been tender and delicious.
Solid selection of raw meats and alcoholic beverages. Smaller cooler and freezer sections for deli meats and hamburger patties. Full selection of sauces and condiments just inside the door.Surprising note: They have the best sushi in Ames since the Shogun in the same area closed down last year.
Great meat only grocery store! The sushi is so good! Yummy
Super friendly customer service, fantastic selection of meats, even some fresh produce and breads. They have a nice selection of wines and cheese too. I will only get our meat from fareway. Everyone elses meat is flavorless.
2 thumbs up!! I almost always go to Fareway Meat Market, and am always very satisfied with their offerings! I find myself disappointed with other places, and keep going back to Fareway! 😊
Meat counter looked clean and fresh. Employees very friendly. Just enough dry groceries to pair with your meats but not so much that it feels like a grocery store full of stuff you didnt come for
Great Market....some of the finest cuts I have ever had. Great service...always a smile.
Big selection of meat.
Great selection. Liquor is an added benefit.
This place is awesome and they were highly accommodating with our order awesome selection
Wide selection of high quality meat, cheese, beer, wine, and snacks. Basically a tailgating/BBQ headquarters. Knowledgeable friendly staff youd expect from any Fareway.
Great meat! Friendly staff.
Its like a meat store meets liquor store. Its a mans grilling heaven. They had tons of variety of meat and fish with a huge selection of wine and beer. Will be going back once the grilling season is in full swing.
Great steaks and even greater staff behind the counters. Sushi is the best in town made by a real pro on site
Love this place. Great location, reasonable prices.
Great place for high quality meats, specialty cheeses, local food products, vintage sodas and nice wine and spirits selection. And some of the best sushi in town.
My only negative was some ribeye steaks were put where the beef brisket should go, but prices and quality are great!
This is a fabulous meat market ! Great customer service !!!! Only place to get fresh good meat and specialty item !
Love the store, but hoping Fareway will work on the smell that greets you when you walk in. Great place to stop for a quick couple if necessities.
A very clean store with very friendly staff. A great selection of meats, cheeses and alcohol.
Great selection of meat and sushi, the perfect quick stop for a home cooked date night treat.
