Fareway Grocery is a Midwestern grocery chain that offers a wide variety of produce, meat, dairy, and dry goods at a low price. The chain is best known for its large meat counter, where high‑quality meat is cut by hand and ground beef is made in‑house daily. Customers praise the exceptional customer service, both in‑person and online, and note that the staff are friendly and the store is clean, neat, and tidy. Many shoppers enjoy the Fareway hamburger and the bacon from the butcher, which has a good amount of meat vs. fat and tastes fantastic. Some reviewers find the prices high and the selection of other products mid, and one store had no morning star bacon. Overall, the chain offers good value for its meat and bakery items, though some customers seek better prices elsewhere.
Kai in the meat department was awesome at making accommodations with their meat selection for me. I’m a few years post op after gastric bypass surgery so I appreciate the kind consideration!!!

Only place I buy my meat from counter. The young folks need to learn measurements. Prefer the older meat counter gentlemen. Great store clean well stocked

Fareway is my #1 source for groceries in Newton. They almost always have all the items I need, have a WONDERFUL meat market, and all the personnel in the store are friendly and helpful. Their prices are generally a little lower than HyVee's, and the quality comparable or better.
