“I didn't go inside the store. I pulled in their parking lot to sit out a severe storm. I couldn't see the road because it was raining so hard. Thanks for a safe place to sit out a storm. I made it home safely! ?”
“There's something special about Fareway, as the combination of their phenomenal customer service, great butcher shop, and atmosphere pulls them above and beyond its competition.
This Ankeny store is no exception. It rocks, great staff throughout. A terrific young man named Ollie helped us once, another superb young man knew the store so well twice for product (wish I remembered his name), and Byron in the butcher shop gave us a pair of amazing suggestions that were elite recommendations, including his own recipe that was so delicious.”
“Has everything I need to cook my awesome Mexican food, The cleanist and most helpful staff the quality of products are the best and reasonably priced produce and hand's down the best tienda mexicana in Des Moines”
“Fareway is a decent grocery store. Clean with nice produce. Wish they had grass-fed or organic meat. Love the new self checkouts & having a parcel helper bring out the groceries is lovely. Prices are the same or a bit less than Hy-Vee on some items.”
“I've been going to this Aldi for years now and I can tell you without a doubt this place treats you like family. I didn't know a grocery store could make you feel welcome. However the cashier ( Cheryl) and the manager have went out of their way several times to give me a quarter because I never remember to bring one. The other day I visited and broke all of my groceries outside my vehicle trying to load them intoy can, and I refused to let them clean it up and when I came back in from picking it up they replaced the two items that were broken for free. I know that they don't understand what a big deal this was but to me it really was. I love coming to the same store over and over again simply because I know that I will always be treated like family”

“Aldis is always clean and inviting, vendors have not claimed mid isles as real-estate for their product. So the walk ways are not cluttered or partially blocked. I hope they never change that. In today's economy I can buy food stuffs here at reasonable pricing.”
“Finally a place I can afford groceries. This store is generally clean. Wednesdays is the best day to go for fully stocked shelves. We've found lots of brands that we like and some we'd pass on next time, but overall the quality and price of products is where it's at with this economy.”
“I shop at Fairway in Pleasant Hill every single Monday. All of the workers are very friendly, happy and social. I love this store! Thank you everyone for your service and hospitality!”
“I love Fareway, especially the meats. Mike has been so helpful to me, especially since my husband passed away. He informs me of how I can purchase small amounts now and it has helped a lot.I recently tried their potato salad and it won me over from making my own, it is delicious. Thank you Fareway!!!”
“I came just to get State Fair tickets and walked away with a full pork chop dinner with mashed potatoes seasoned with bacon, cheese, and ? Plus mixed vegetables all for under $8. So good!”

“Hy-Vee can have some great deals but if you're just popping in for items as needed it can be way more expensive than Walmart. I will say Hy-Vee does offer a more personal touch and there are more employees who WANT to help you.”

“When I came to live in Des Moines in 1999 it was a movie rental then it was the palomino I lived across the street the first owners I think he was from Jalisco then it was a man I think his name is Luis he was a butcher I don't know if Don Luis is still working there”
“The selection here can be limited. But I get a week's worth of groceries from the money I'd spend to get only a few days' worth at hyvee. No competition.”

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and quality, you find everything you are looking for and the staff is very friendly.(Original)Exelente servicio y calidad, encuebtras todo lo que buscas y el personal muy amable.”
“It's the closest full service grocery store to my home and most of the north side neighborhood. It's prices are competitive and the workers seem to enjoy being part of their team . I shop there often and recommend it.”
“I just rode with a guy that picks up tires and disposes of them for Sahoma. I've never actually had any work done over there but I can say that they are really nice people and I would definitely give them a shot at looking at my vehicle sometime if I need them in the future. After I left the shop part of it I went up front to the store cuz I had the worst headache and the guy at the register gave me some Tylenol that helped make it tolerable till I could get some more in my system. Nice guy up front as well. I'd give 5 star and definitely will change my rating after I have some work done on my car.”
“I love the convenience of having them close. Super friendly there. Always busy. Their chicken is the best! They even will make fresh chicken for us. We have a nickname for this store. Cleveland Chicken ?”
“Hy-Vee is my go to store. They could lower their prices, but they have everything. I shop Hy-Vee for 99% of the meat I buy. They also carry Grazianos Sausage - the ONLY Italian sausage to buy!”
“The sympathy floral vase that was ordered was gorgeous and personalized to fit our relative's interest. Dottie was A-One to work with on this order! Highly Recommend to others!”
“This store has so much stuff in here. It's literally a "General" store as it says it is. Just don't come here if you are claustrophobic. You will probably have a panic attack at some point, especially if there are other people shopping in the aisles with you. There is not much room to move do to the amount of inventory in here.I stopped in today looking for some specific containers to fit my collectibles for traveling, and the cashier was super nice and let me bring a couple to the counter and even bring my collectibles inside to check and see if they would fit before buying them instead of wasting my money on something that wouldn't work and having to return them. That was extremely nice of her. I didn't get her name, but she was working today at the Altoona store at around 3:30pm...So if you read this, Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciated it.”
“7/29/24 my order was Gracie chicken tenders with potato dippers. Large meaty tenders.
Also, ordered the butler famous beef burger with breaded mushrooms. Burger was very good, but the mushrooms were very salty.
Past order 6/28/24 I ordered delivery. My order was loaded potato dippers. Not good for take-out, the potatoes don't stay crispy. I ordered the Gracie's Chicken Tenders with Mac n cheese, Chicken was good size and delicious. I didn't like the macaroni n cheese. I like it to be creamy and it wasn't. They do have a lot of good food and a good variety menu.
6/10/24 I oldered the build your own burger. It's a half pound burger. My side was potato dippers, they were excellent. The pie I ordered was strawberry cheesecake. Very good.
They need a option to add condiments for the burgers, very dry without them.
6/4/24 I ordered delivery by door dash. My order was half pork tenderloin with onion rings. I believe they are new to Door Dash because they haven't got the process down yet. I ordered pretzel balls as a dessert and it didn't print on their receipt for my order. So I didn't get them. DD did credit me for the missing item.
No options to add condiments to your sandwich on their menu. The 2nd time I ordered from them, I received someone else's order. I suggest more training on the DD orders.
DD requires customers to have a receipt for verification on orders, so they need to provide one on every order going out.
5/30/24 my order was build your own half pound burger.
Handmade beef patty with onions, Swiss cheese on sourdough bread. Absolutely delicious! My side was breaded mushrooms and they give you a lot. Their onion rings were thin and very good. Great quality and quanity food and service.
My first time trying this place and I definitely will order again.
I appreciate a place that takes great pride in the food they deliver. Definitely recommend this place.”
