“I like Fareway. Hard to afford the meat sometimes. Speaking of which I gave a 4 until I know for sure what happens with the livestock during all this process. But I really like it over HyVee I don't trust that place employing owned? Surrre. I.will stick with FAREWAY thank you”

“Good store. Prices don't quite compete with walmart, but are low enough to not drive somewhere else. The meat quality is superb, and the main reason to go there.”

“Like other Aldi, good selection of food and merchandise. Still not quite the same as our original experience in Germany, but not too bad either. First time we've lived near one here in the USA. Nice to look through their weekly ads and specials, never know what you might see.”

“I’ve been shopping at this location for almost 6 years, and I’ve generally had positive experiences. I truly enjoy most of the employees I interact with, which makes this situation even more disappointing.

Today, April 24th (my daughter’s 1st birthday) I came in to pick up a cake I had ordered two weeks in advance for her birthday. I was really excited to see how it turned out, but when it was handed to me, I was immediately disappointed. It looked nothing like the reference photos I had provided. When I expressed my concern, the decorator explained that she made it that way so it “wouldn’t dry out,” which was never mentioned at the time of ordering.

I ended up returning the cake and walking away, already upset. While grabbing a small item for my daughter, I noticed the same baker shrugging her shoulders and saying “oh well.” That attitude was honestly more frustrating than the cake itself.

I’ve never experienced this kind of dismissiveness here before. I do believe I spoke with the bakery manager, and she did offer to discount the cake or remake it, which I appreciate, but at that point, I was too upset and just wanted to leave.

This was a really important day for my family, and the experience fell far short of expectations. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so future customers don’t have a similar experience.

Edit: Thank you Alban for righting your wrong! The replacement cake was incredible! My kids, husband and the rest of my family really enjoyed it”

“Friendly staff. Lots of options. Clean.

Too pricey.

Give the people real food without chemicals. We the people demand all food to be clean and fully natural, as nature intended.”

“We chose to check out in a lane that had a first day cashier. The girl bagging the groceries was very helpful to him and us. He accidentally double charged us and the girl took it upon herself to get the approval from management to get it deducted and get us going to keep the line moving!!! Very impressed!! Thank you to the two working isle 5 today!! You are what Hy-Vee is supposed to be!!!”

“Had a great experience on 2/20 at 7:30PM with the team leader Marissa. We were looking for a certain type of bread and it was not stocked on the shelves. On a day that they were obviously short staffed, she took the time to assist us. She dug through the back of the store and the freezer to find the specific bread we wanted. She didn't have to do that and probably had 1000 other things to do that night but she went over and above. I definitely appreciate her efforts!”

“Laura was very kind and helpful. Offered me a coupon and helped with my bags. Lady in front of her accused her of making a racially profiled comment which was not true. Laura is amazing and I hope her day is very good.”

“After Sam's Club messed up my vaccination appointment, special thanks to Steph and Eric from the pharmacy to make this a terrific overall experience! Excellent customer service and kindness. I received my COVID-19 and flu vaccinations without a hitch.”

“I'm not sure why there are so many ultra-negative reviews. Yes, drive-thru lines can take awhile, but I know to avoid certain times of day (after-school, etc.). I have found the employees inside of the store to be fairly quick to help customers, and the automatic renewal system helps a lot. They are always good with answering questions, or getting someone who does know. With my particular insurance, they're also the second cheapest in town (and quite a bit more convenient to me than the other choice). I've always gotten the correct medication, and if a refill Rx is needed, they call doctor's office first to see if it can happen automatically. Compared to the Walgreen's store I used to go to, it is much better. (And, if I DO have to wait for anything, I can get a few groceries and check back; I hardly ever need anything else at a drugstore to keep me busy while I wait.) I've also been pleased with their vaccination services. If I need to call them, I've never waited longer than 4-5 minutes for help. Inside the store, I've seen many more customers be the slowdown problem, not the pharmacy employees. Yes, there is an occasional issue, but that's true at every pharmacy I've gone to.”

“Unloaded on time ever time I come here. Helpful clerk. No overnight oarking, but there are at least 2 truck stops at exit 89 on I 35, about 4 miles southeast of here.”
