“I got a screw stuck in my tire, called the shop at 3:15 pm on a weekday to see if there was any chance they could get it patched the same day. They were very nice and had my car fixed up within the hour for a great price. Highly recommend!”

“I hadn't been to Slater Casey's in a while due to the inconsistent food and bad customer service. We stopped by tonight and Jayden made us the best pizza we've had (during a huge rush). He was kind and had outstanding customer service. You should hire more people like him.”

“ALWAYS use their app for gas ( discounts) & grocery specials. Even 6 hours away from our town / they have SAME price specials thru the week. Very handy for travelling to see locations & prices. Always CLEAN RESTROOMS!”
305 Airport Rd, Ames IA 50010
“Great gas prices but lines get extremely long and people go in the wrong way due to where pump is located. Need to make them so they can be used from either side going the correct direction”

“There are two Costco locations in the metro, and this is the one with the best parking lot. Yes, that does make a difference! It's in a newer development area, so there's hardly any traffic on a weeknight. I do think this location has gotten more popular over time, but still very spacious!”

“Hy-Vee Fast & Fresh Express is a solid choice in Ankeny. Great service and a comfortable, well-kept space. Friendly staff and a genuinely pleasant experience overall. I'll be recommending this spot to everyone I know.”

“I stop by this store pretty often and they are always kind, today i had a loose bolt on my bike and they went out of their way to look for a tool to help me despite potentially not having the tool, they have good people working here :)”

“I used the car wash, my favorite is the soft touch, it gets 99% of the car clean. The 1% is in a hard to reach spot I guess. I will keep going back, I love the smell of the soap, reminds me of the original scent ofJergens hand lotion.”

“I’m from out of town and needed something to do that the Gateway Hotel could not provide. Kaitlyn was so helpful in offering food and beverage options that helped make my evening fun and relaxing. She’s an excellent ambassador for this convenient pit stop Thanks!”

“I genuinely enjoy stopping at this Maverik. The food is consistently good, the deals are worth paying attention to, and the perks program is one of my favorite parts. I actually helped an older gentleman figure out the perks yesterday, and it reminded me how simple and user‑friendly their system really is. Their app is easy to navigate, and the gas pumps are straightforward, which makes the whole experience quick and stress‑free. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and everything feels well organized. Between the great food, the solid deals, and how effortless it is to get in and out, this Maverik has become one of my go‑to stops in town.”

“Casey's at 36th and Irvinedale Dr. is pretty much our go to convenience store. On this occasion, we ordered a medium Taco Pizza online, and were told it would be done in 20 min. (note... On busy weekends during FB season, we've waited 45 min, so plan accordingly.) I got there a few minutes early and the lady said my pizza would be out of the oven in a cpl minutes. While I was waiting, I took note of the coffee station, as I often stop at this very same place for morning coffee. The place was SPOTLESS as usual (pics). Now for the pizza. We're usually deep dish pizza people, but for Taco Pizza, Casey's nails it with a thinner doughy crust. We love it. Hope too that management reads this and takes note that a customer appreciated the cleanliness of the store!”

“My online order didn't print out for my order so there was a little mix up when my wife went in to pick it up, the cook an the manager did a great job dealing with the mix up and even compt my cheese sticks for the mix up. Great service.”

“Stopped at this Casey's for the first time this past Wed. for a cup of coffee for the road. The place was pretty busy, but I was able to get in and out quickly with my fresh coffee from beans. (A Casey's staple.) Here I am, enjoying it with a great road song.”

“Why don’t they advertise their E88 prices? They’re the cheapest in the Polk County area. - $0.11 off a gallon with fuel saver card. No signing up. Have to pay in advance. Good thing is, if you pay for $25 (for example) & only use $20, your card will only get charged $20. Bathrooms are clean.”

“I drive out of my way to shop here .. employees are super friendly, professional and the store is always clean, stocked and well organized. When I have the option, this is the only convenience store I give my business to. 5+++”

“Maverik is one of the most reliable gas stations for quick stops and road‑trip needs. The store is consistently clean, and the layout makes it easy to get in and out fast. Their made‑to‑order drinks and food options are a standout — inventive, fun, and great for trying something new. My kids love browsing the snack section, and the drink machines always have plenty of choices. The pumps are well‑maintained, and the parking lot usually has enough space to maneuver even during busier times. It’s a dependable stop whether you’re grabbing fuel, a snack, or a quick drink on the go.”

“Superior Sliders and Fantastic Fries!!! I visited this Casey's earlier today and ordered their Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders and an order of fries. Their sliders? As far as overall cheeseburgers, these are some of the best I've ever enjoyed and, I'm 73. With the fries, they have a wonderful crunch and, a beautiful color to them. The flavor was outstanding. I don't remember who made them but, he is a world class young man. Friendly, professional, and accommodating along with being good at what he does. Even the clerk was especially friendly and helpful. I couldn't get my insulated bag zipped up. She helped me without hesitation and with a wonderful attitude. She was wearing a mask but, I would venture to say, she must have a beautiful smile. These two young people deserve special recognition for work very well done. I would recommend this store in a heartbeat. That's all.”

“They make the BEST pizza ever. I ordered it by phone, it was ready in 20 minutes. It was great pizza! 10 out of 10 and lots of cheese! My favorite pizza place!”
117 N Kennedy Ave, Madrid IA 50156
“The model of what all Casey's should be like. The parking lot and store are clean, everything is well-stocked, nothing is broken for days, and most everyone there is kind, helpful, and Not a Jerk. In fact, I'll go out of my way to go to this Casey's, they're so awesome. Oh! And I don't get charged $.63 for ice water bc I buy other things there. You know, things that *aren't* a little ice and tap water.”

“I got gas and paid at the pump, so I can't attest to in store. Here's what I do know. I hate answering 50 questions when I pay at the pump. It's Iowa and it's cold out- Just give me my gas! I wish the pump could hear me, because he would just give me my gas. I'm usually rude to the pump, because I am freezing my a$$ off answering questions. Just give me gas after I pay. Please”

“BIG SHOUT OUT TO MEGAN!! And Daniel!! And Manager Mark!! Difficult for me to get up the curb and inside these days, but that’s no worries! I just dial up herb site order, MEGAN will customize the wrap the way I want it, in a matter of minutes, brings it out to my truck! Quite great service. I appreciate the extra help! Thank you for making my day better! Judging from the SMILES of other customers coming out, it’s a parent you’re making people happy. God bless.”

“Clean, organized, stocked, and well-managed from what I can tell on my various visits here.Love the cappuccino/hot chocolate, (when in stock, heh).Only qualm(s) would have to be almost never having potato cheese bites available to go and the bathroom tends to be a bit gross on occasion.”

“I had a great experience at Mega Saver. The place was clean, welcoming, and well looked after. Friendly staff and a genuinely pleasant experience overall. I'll be recommending this spot to everyone I know.”

Picture this: Three big screens in each restaurant, tracking how fast workers greet customers, take orders, and hand out food.

"These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
