This is the best store. Fully stocked, but not to the point of being overwhelmed. The meat department is really exceptional the customer service is very good. Overall, clean, efficient, great sales at the meat department(that really benefits low income customers.) Also, great sales and low prices.

Excellent customer service and attitude of employees, very professional and compassionate. Could not find any split pea soup after asking a gentleman about that we searched and was told they probably didn't have it anymore, half hr later, almost done shopping the employee found me and must have searched and found split pea soup with ham and bacon, I prefer plain so I can add my own good ingredients, thank you so much and keep up the great work all employees.

Okay, most of us shop Fairway because the meat counter, right? You really can't go wrong here unless you're looking to buy the chorizo sausage. If they could ever figure out how horribly underseasoned their chorizo is, I would go the full five stars because they go above and beyond in everything else. Maybe it's a midwest version, but most of the time you can hardly see or taste the seasoning at all. And yes, you should be able to see the difference... from across the room. Compare below authentic chorizo and Fareway's.

Fareway offers great service! Wish prices would be a bit less, but won't keep me from going.

Let me start by saying I have always like fareway for my shopping. But after voicing concerns of food safety hygiene issues in the meat department to the manager Brian and being told it never happens and basically calling me a liar I don’t recommend their meat section and will not be returning. When workers handle raw meat with bare hands rinse with water and dry sorry that isn’t safe food practice even the wrappers they give you tell you to wash your hands!

Fantastic grocery store. They dont have quite the dry goods and produce variety that Hy-Vee has but their prices are much better. They also have the best old school butcher/ meat counter. They cut everything in house and have a lot more meat options than anywhere else I have been, whole foods included. To top it all off all the employees wear nice uniforms, they are extremely friendly and its standard for them to bag the groceries, take them to your car, unload them, and take the cart back all with a smile. I wont shop anywhere else!

This is an outstanding grocery store. Small town style n no standoffish attitudes like I have noticed in some big city stores. All personnel are eager to help however they can. Fresh... everything...!

They have top quality meat. I do a lot of meat smoking and you can't go wrong buying it at Fareway. Love their fresh produce also.

They have a great meat department. That's the main reason I go there. I have not special ordered anything yet but was told I could. Lamb for example.

I typically love Fareway. Moved from Grinnell to New Sharon, so Osky store is closer. Loved Grinnell. Not impressed one bit with Osky! Layout is confusing. Aisles are narrow. Cantaloupe was all moldy (full melon not the prepacked half melons), purchased potatoes that were oven and grill ready only to get them home and find out they were a month out of date. Purchased boneless skinless full chicken breasts, they were wrapped improperly so parts were stuck to the paper wrapping and dried out and rotten. Checkout area is small and not enough checkers available, despite having a checker at nearly every cash register. I’m sure it was a busy time, so i’ll excuse the checker issue. The rest was more than a waste of money and inconvenience.

Fareway has the best ground pork I've ever had. Paired with my father-in-law's grill master skills, it's just about irresistible. :)
