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.

Amazing layout with a very wide selection of meats and cheeses as well as sauces and seasonings. The store also has basic produce, dairy, and grocery staples along with alcohol and soda. Friendly staff and overall a great store.

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!

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.

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.

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
