Fareway Meat and Grocery

Best grocery store in town. Convenient; easy to get in and out. Best meat department, with the highest quality and excellent service. Best prices day in and day out. Fairway brand items are high quality. Overall service is unmatched by anyone. Considering price, quality, and service, this is the best grocery store in town, hands down!

Stopped in to pick up a few items during a visit to Ames and was impressed by the cleanliness, organization, and friendly staff. Everything was well-stocked and it's clear they take pride in the presentation. I did not buy any meats, but they looked high-quality and were as nicely displayed as everything else. The dirty, chaotic, unfriendly grocery stores in my city could all take lessons from this place.

I love Fareway! Always has the freshest produce around. They will price match, always accepts coupons, fair prices. The staff is always busy and ask if you're looking for something! The best meat market you could ask for. I will only buy Fareways own burger! What more could you ask for? Small-town values, small town prices! They also have the most beautiful pumpkins for carving! I don't know where they get them from but bravo to the growers!

I love this Fareway. Not only is it kept super clean and has great options, but the people are great too! I went out of my way today to go pick up some chicken parm from the meat counter. They didn’t have any made up, but Ted came to the rescue! He quickly offered to make me some and did so in a quick fashion. Very nice. Very kind. Very refreshing to be around great customer service. Keep it up! I will obviously be back.

Great store, great prices, friendly service

I love Fareway store they have the best staff. Good food ok prices . Love the fruits and veggies

I love the meat counter at Fareway. Their produce is also fabulous, and they have baked goods. I think this is the best place for propane tank exchanges for the grill, too.

While this store isn't as big as some grocery stores, it's easy to navigate, find someone to help you with a question, and they still have carry out service.

I ordered online and went to pick up my order. The girl that brought them to my car was very sweet. I got home and a package of lunchmeat looked to have been previously opened. I didn't trust it so I called and spoke with Dustin. I asked if I could come in the following day and pick up a replacement. He asked if I lived in town and told me he would deliver a replacement to my home. I told him he didn't have to do that. He apologized again for my inconvenience and he personally delivered the replacement item to my front door. Amazing service and going the extra mile for a customer. Thanks guys!!!!

I wanted to share about a very positive experience I had at the meat department on Saturday. The man cutting my meat went above and beyond cutting the steaks exactly how I wanted them, matching a competitor ad, and educating me on their meat and the quality of their meat. I always look for value and this exceeded my expectations. I have been shopping at Fareway for years but this was one of the best experiences I had ever had. Hats off to the downtown Ames meat department.

Sincerely
One very happy customer

One of the best stores to get fresh meats and produce, they also have the best customer services in the industry. Everyone I've met at every location is helpful with a genuine sense of professionalism. If you dont know about fareway then you should definitely make it the place to get all your groceries for the family. They have so many sales that change frequently so it's a great idea to join in their online sales/rewards program as well. 10/10

Fareway is clean and well organized, and has excellent customer service. The staff is friendly and very willing to help customers. Receiving help with your groceries from the store to your vehicle is great.

I went to this store early one morning and the manager was picking up trash in the parking lot and pulling weeds. When I checked out the young lady asked the manager if she should call someone to bag. He said no that he had bagged a few groceries in his day. Wish I knew his name...what great guy

It was five stars with great, super helpful staff before building the new store. Now that its new, I don't grocery shop anywhere else! It doesn't matter what department of the store I'm in, if I have a question, it gets answered quickly and helpfully. This hold doubly true for the meat counter (but what else do you expect from Fareway).

It's a wonderful store. Not so large that you can't find things. Prices are reasonable. They still hire high school kids to carry your groceries to the car. It's a real Iowa treasure.

Very nicely organized store and very clean. The staff are super caring and friendly. Perfect size for a grocery store too. Love trying all the new meat recipes from the meat counter.

Fareway is my go-to grocery for meat, and they have pretty much everything you need. I love their courtesy service where someone helps you to your car with the groceries. It makes life so much easier, especially for someone wrangling young children, or otherwise might need a hand. This location is an older one, and the carts are low and deep. I prefer the newer carts at other store.

They are always helpful and friendly.

clean well organized store, helpful friendly staff. good prices great produce still great produce at a good price. Best salmon in Ames

As far as I'm concerned number one grocery store in the Ames area. People are friendly. There's definitely a smile on every Isle in fairway. The prices are the best in town.

Ok store. Bit spendy
