A very nice and clean grocery store.It’s very well stocked and easy to navigate. Even though it seems a little smaller than some of the big box grocery stores it seems to have a lot of specialty items and items from smaller producers.It’s worth stopping by the deli counter for fresh sliced deli meat and butchery.

Meat department is the best. We only buy our meat here and we travel 30 minutes to shop here! Favorite store in all of southern Minnesota.

I was so impressed with the young gentleman named Stephen. He is the type of man that has the potential to make a difference in people's lives. He was courteous, outgoing, made me feel welcome in this Fareway store. Great to have met you Stephen!

Excellent grocery store in Owatonna. They have really good prices relative to other places. It's small but they have a little bit of everything. Their baked goods are usually very good. The meat department has a great selection. They have good fresh produce. The best part is that they walk you to your car and load your groceries.

Never cared for the meat. The meat tastes gamey.

Great meat counter and that's it. Everything is over priced, I feel profiled every time I come in, have had workers share casually racist remarks with me, and if I want to use a cart to my car I have to have an employee follow me to my car. Their new liquor store is also the worst one in town for both price and selection.

Love, love, love this store! As much as I hate grocery shopping, I'll always stop in for any quick items. They're always so friendly and courteous in here. They have a small, but fabulous meat department. The meat department employees are always so friendly and helpful. I love the courtesy help. The store is small and quaint. Not too big and not too small! It's just perfect.

Great meat counter! Always the lowest prices on sale items in town. Good selection of items.The last few times I have been here,using the self check out. The people standing by are telling you what to do before you can complete your task. Ive been a grocery checker, I know what to do. Lately I seem to always have issues with the self check out, and none of the staff present even know how to run the register to correct the issue. I realize employees are sometimes scarce,but proper training is handy.Just left Fairway, the last few times I've been here the things I normally purchase are no longer available. Today I stopped inn and things again were not available. There were 4 ladies working up front, I had to bag my own groceries, I would have went to self checkout for that. I also noticed that prices are almost $1 less at other stores in town. Fairway used to be my go to store...not so much anymore.

best small grocery store i have been to hands down. The meat department is the whole reason i visit. I stop in and grab what i need so i don't have to freeze and thaw my meats. the prices are great and the brautburgers are delicious.

Excellent grocery store. Best is the meat counter where I can purchase and wrap meat in single person package size. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

If it could be less it would be. Worst experience of my life today. Thank you Customer service for making a single mom feel unworthy and a criminal in your store today! If it could be 0 star - it would’ve been. Fareway in Rochester before they closed had better respect and they were young kids who swore more than they spoke properly. I really don’t think my groceries matter enough to be down right disrespected by such awful, conceited drama queens in my entire existence.- Rant is over :) -*signed,**rightfully ticked off & disrespected customer*

I would recommend shopping at fairway. If you watch the flyers for the meat sales you will get the best meat at the best price. The service is excellent. The only thing I don't know about that I'm trying to research, is if I could get an order picked for me, due to covid19. So far I haven't found a way for this to be done. Your groceries are taken to your vehicle by an attendant. The meat counter personelare very attentive and try to get your order just right.

Best meat in town hands down, and priced well. Meat dept goes out of their way to help you and then some. BONUS! They will take the groceries to your car and unload it for you without that bothersome drive-up to retrieve your groceries.

Great food nice variety and cheap prices. Some of the prices are cheap I should say. But they have friendly staff and a lot of smiling faces from the people who work there. Nice atmosphere as well. Plus they have a lot of the same food as other stores have.

I live in Waseca but love shopping here. This store is always super clean and odor free. There are always great bargain prices and is simply far more reasonable price wise to shop here than in Waseca.Enough cannot be said about the deli and meat counter. The staff is always friendly and very helpful and best if all is when you need someone you can actually find someone easily!Oh, and when I say clean I mean clean. Just check out the checkout belts at Waseca Hyvee and then check these belts out. It's great not having to put my food on top of filth!

Great selection of produce and meat. Plus they have all the snacks I love that bigger chains have stopped selling. I also like it when they help bring and load the groceries into my car.

The meat surpasses any other grocery store! It is butcher quality and a good value. I always by my meat here. Produce is average at times not so good.
