Liked the aisle space. Thought the way the food items were categorized made it easy to find what I was shopping for. Meat cutters were nice and efficient. Check out went well. Cashier was nice and the guy who packed my groceries even put them in my car trunk! Wow! Going to drive to Tea to shop. Thank You.

The prices are high enough here compared to a big box store that it's a challenge to shop local. Since the prices for products from China is barely less than prices from US producers, I wish they would make a bold choice to carry only US products when there is a choice, like with canned fruit, for example. I'd be a lot more inclined to choose to shop here.

I recently have started shopping here instead of my usual Wal-Mart. The size of the store is easier to navigate. They have everything I need and more.Produce has a good selection and very fresh.Last, but not least, customer service is the best! From help in the isles, to cashier, and carry out...helpful and kind. I am happy they use paper bags as they are better for our environment. This is my new go-to shopping place.

Great variety of groceries and an excellent meat department. I have been shopping here since Hy Vee abandoned my neighborhood grocery store and left me and many other in a food desert.

We visit Fareway for the meat counter! We appreciate the workers, the cleanliness, the variety of the meat cuts, and the quality of the meat. We were sad when Chris was pulled from 41st ST, and we were glad we ran into him after his circuitous route to Tea. Trust me when I say the atmosphere of the meat counter at 41st wasn't the same after Chris was transferred. We missed Jordan, too. We hope Chris will come to our new store on 41st at Tea and Ellis when it opens.We like several things about Fareway, including but not limited to, the quality of the meat; the old-fashioned charm of the hats with their large hand-written names, as the name tags are too small for those of us with eyesight issues; the variety of the meats and convenient grilling/baking preparations, though we have only tried the sausage and brats; the fact you're closed on Sundays; and, the young people you hire for your stores. We have never run into one that wasn't cheerful and polite; even when one seems shy, my husband and/or I can usually draw them out with questions. And, thank you for the free help with the grocery lift to our vehicles; that is a old-fashioned and delightful service I hope you don't ever change. I can't lift as much as when I was younger and didn't have shoulder issues, so it's very nice to have help even on my strong days.We like Fareway and tell people all the time!

Always very friendly and helpful staff. Am going to start going here more often because of the pleasant employees. I know whenever I've gone in they always have a greeter who is always sanitizing surfaces by the door as well. Prices arent too bad either.

Very clean and well-stocked. Clerks and Manager very knowledgeable. Wish the bakery could be on-site. Meat-cutters were friendly and so much better than the bigger grocery store chains.

Meat Dept is amazing, the service meat counter staff is great, and you can order how much or how little you want. Produce Dept is fresh. Store is clean. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

Would've given 5 stars except that there is a young red headed female employee with an incredibly hateful attitude.

Charged me 24$ extra for 12lbs of hamburger i asked to be wrapped 3 extra times. I drop my guard for 3 seconds and i get taken advantage of by the small print meat pushers. I now regret not telling the lady in front of me those 8 oz sirloin's she got for 5.99 was a rip off. She should have taken the Tbone for 9.99 a pound. Its 2$ a pound cheaper and a way better steak. I like Austin at the front door. He got the extra star.

I like it a lot..great for if you just want to quickly run up the road real quick and not into Sioux Falls and all that congestion.

This is not my normal grocery store but today was a matter of convenience. I'm afraid good prices do not make up for poorly trained staff and backed up check out lanes. I'll drive the extra five minutes to Hyvee next time.

Hadn't been here for months. Had great help from start to finish, will definitely be my new go too instead of Hy Vee. Thanks for a great customer experience

IPeople were not friendly. When ordering meat the gal didn't seem to know anything about the different cuts I asked for and one package of meet she threw on top and it slid off onto the floor. In my book poor service.

Nice little Fareway store in Tea. It is not too far from I 29. You can find most anything you will need there. (They have a nice meat counter too) This Fareway has a nice hometown feel!

I just visited this grocery. I was taken aback at how indifferent the employees were. I'm from the South and we greet people with a lot of enthusiasm. These folks were not on board for any of that. Not my kind of Market but. I'm still looking for the right one.

We shop at Fareway all the time, but we will Not anymore!!! The cashier Tammy is rude. The first she was rude, we said to our self, maybe she's have a bad day. No she just rude period. Thanks to Tammy you won't get our business any more.

Overall Fareway has amazing service but every time I go there to get jalapenos they're really old looking. But I'm so grateful Fareway came to Tea South Dakota!
