“Growing up on the northeast side of Waterloo, Corks has become a staple in the area. I can almost remember when it opened about 40 years ago. We bought milk and bread, deli meat, cases of pop, and kegs of beer there. The prices have always been very reasonable for a small store. Even when living across town, I traveled to Corks for fresh deli meat and other specials. From what I gather, the cigarette prices are some of the lowest around. Their homemade deli sandwiches are great, and some are exceptional values. I was worried that when new owners took over, things would change drastically. There have been some changes, nothing to disappoint. While I really miss some of the previous employees, some have remained, and the new owners are outgoing, helpful, and nice. Definitely recommend.”
“Good place to go. Friendly service, good selection. While the price of milk there is markedly higher than Walmart, I'll pay the difference because..it's not Walmart. Easy to get to, easy to get what ya need, easy to pay and leave out when done.”

“Fantastic food! Authentic and bold flavors that bring back lots of fond memories for people who grew up in Southeast Asia. Definitely a hidden gem and I highly recommend!”
“Friendly and helpful staff, selection of goods and general cleanliness of the store would earn it 6 stars if Google would let me. One of the most impressive Asian markets I've been to.”
“Started shopping here again. Prices are reasonable. The only thingis fresh mears you can get wrapped up how you want it. I go to Fareway for alot of my meats. Yes you need a quarter to get a cart, but when you out it back you get the quarter back. Part if their way to keep carts corralled and not all over the parking lot. Also bring your own bags or boxes to package your groceries. They do sell bags if needed.”
“Not a huge drinker, so it is really nice that the employees are very helpful when I am looking for something. Last time I was in I was looking for mead, and they were able to help me find it right away. Not a huge selection of mead, but still more than I expected. Plus it is convenient to be able to also pick up a few items from the store and check out in the wine and spirits.”
“Mersim’s Kitchen, Waterloo, Iowa, is a Bosnian store and Kitchen stocked with authentic products from Bosnia and Balkan countries. It offers daily fresh bread and lepinja, varieties of smoked meats and sausages. You pick up your own order to go. Recently I ordered cevapi. It was excellent.
Friendly people and great service! ATM available inside the store.”
“Very reasonable and great deals guaranteed, I Don't have to go so far to get nice clothing and with the right price! right there at Lane's store you can't go wrong. Thanks Lane????? here in the Loo”
“Amazing ambiance. Happened to travel from New York and totally get upper east side vibes. Hope to visit Iowa again just so that I can visit My man ace :)))) <3/0”
“I slipped and fell in this store by the restroom entrance, a few years ago. I got hurt really bad and was injured for awhile. I do not shop at this store anymore, but I still shop in their other stores. I like the items in the store and I dont mind the prices. Just because I fell, I still like Dollar General.”
“Very helpful employees. A particular shout out to Jessica as she welcomed my mother into the store & kept an eye out on her when she showed up tired from an adventure she had been on.”
“Pretty decent place too bad they got ran into by a car a few times crazy side of town I guess you know other than that they had almost anything you could need it was a little pricey but it's because of the convenience nothing bad to say really”

“An amazing store, clean,organized,friendly employees. However if you need assistance finding something, good luck because first you have to find the person to help you which it took me 5 minutes and 2 employees to locate what it was I needed.”
“Went for some quick grocery shopping. Service was great. Bought a case of water on sale that rang up as double the price. They quickly verified that it was wrong and adjusted the price plus a discount.”
“I went couponing on a busy Saturday night, Devin helped me out at the register. Although it was busy he did not rush me and was very patient with all my coupons. One of the better dollar generals in my area, very satisfied with my trip!”
“This location is extremely good on working with you when you have online coupons. They were able to help me get what would have been $130 medication that wasn't covered by my insurance for $10.44”
“Friendly Staff: Rebecca, Tyrone, ?,!

“I like this store located perfect for me I just live in the Highlands so it’s close convenient very clean store lotta different products than other stores it’s a bigger store I believe the staff is very helpful courteous friendly neighborhood store is what it is for me to get out you’ll like it and less traffic than being downtown Waterloo”
“This is one of the best if not THE best store in the area. Very clean well organized great staff and management. If all their stores were this good Walmart would be scared.”
“Dollar general is very convenient and carries things that are net necessities plus things that are not they come in very handy all in one little store people are always very friendly and help me carry things to my car being starting to save them thanks so much have a great one”
“Always a good time at Walmart lol, spending 80% of your paycheck on groceries and other necessities for the house... but still mostly cheaper than the other stores so gotta give em that one....rarely do they not have what you want or need so pretty much one stop shop. Could cut the prices back a little more to help cut the budget some, but Ole Uncle Sam has to pad his pockets too...”
“This place was my introduction to authentic Bosnian food and it was a delicious and decadent experience. It is so amazing that Waterloo has such a gem in this town. I was recommended to go here by a Bosnian friend of mine in Cedar Rapids and I am so glad I listened. They have fresh items made in the morning like the Burke. It is so soft and savory. They also serve really good Turkish coffee. The searing is limited because of the small space but the vibes give you the “back home” type of feeling.”
