“218 Fuel Express Restaurant, Deli, & Liquor Store is a great stop for anyone traveling through the area. I was able to get gas quickly and easily, which made the visit very convenient. There is also a rest area nearby where rows of cars can take a break, making it a helpful spot for travelers who need to rest during a long drive. The store also has a nice selection of food options, including a restaurant and deli for a quick bite. The Ricks Wagon Wheel restaurant is especially convenient if you want something fast and tasty before getting back on the road. It’s a good place to grab food, fuel up, and take a short break all in one stop. Overall, 218 Fuel Express Restaurant, Deli, & Liquor Store is a clean, convenient, and traveler-friendly place. Whether you need gas, food, drinks, or just a quick rest, it’s definitely a reliable stop to visit.”

“I wanted to give a HUGE thank you to, Tim L. On Sunday August 27th, Tim was unloading bacon and I looked over at my 2 year old who was silently vomiting over the edge of the shopping cart. Tim went out of his way to help me clean up, push my cart, and get my son and I what we needed quickly. Thank you for being so kind in a moment like that. I know these things happen but your kindness left a huge impact on this day.”

“The reviews are right about this Fast & Fresh in Charles City, IA. This is a smaller Fast & Fresh; but, it is very well equipped for the C- Store Size. The coffee/fountain drinks are immediately to the left of the Register when you walk in, as it’s a smaller store. The hot food is located at the cooler area, which is right of the register. The registers are right where you walk in. The store wasn’t very busy at all. The store was very nice & organized. The staff were really, really nice & friendly. I grabbed a 30oz fountain drink & some Hy-Vee Chocolate Mini Donuts (the 6 donut one). That is one thing I didn’t know about Hy-Vee, and that they do make a private label snack line for stores like this one. The total after tax was 3.60. I hope this Fast & Fresh continues to be a great place to stop in Charles City!-Shy_Gun670”

“This is a good gas station. I think everyone in town comes here. They always have what's advertised. The staff is friendly and helpful. The premises is clean. Baskets for shopping are readily available at the door. Sometimes you have to wait for the hot food because it sells out so fast because it tastes so good. The lines for the gas pumps move quickly and efficiently. This is a good gas station!”

“Clean, well-stocked grocery store with knowledgeable, friendly employees. The pharmacy is the best in Charles City. I've only been in the liquor section a couple times, but the staff there was helpful. Hy-Vee does things right!”

“HyVee pharmacy is my hometown pharmacy. I've been using it ever since we moved back to town. They always have my prescriptions ready for me fast. Everyone that works there is very friendly. I would recommend HyVee pharmacy to anyone who is in need of a pharmacy.”

“Almost always have what I'm looking for and usually nice staff. I have had some issues such as: multiple days in a row I'd stop on my way to work and their cappuccino machine wouldn't work, and today a younger female rolled her eyes at me.”
