Once again, problems at the meat counter. They had a special on 8 oz Ribeye for $9.98. Those are precut in the case so they don't weight the package when they label it. I told them I would like one. I didn't watch things that close. I got home and my wife said that package doesn't look very think or weight much for two Ribeye's. I said two, I bought one? It was packaged and labeled as two and the price was $19.98. We opened the package there was only one 8 oz Ribeye in it!!! Honest mistake or????? Nothing I can really do. The package has been opened so who would believe us? Can't go by any weight on the label of the package because there is no weight on it. Screwed out of $10 bucks, thanks. A week or so ago a different meat counter person and I ordered one pound of 93%. He went for the 85% and I was watching. Had it on the scale. I said that's not 93%, it came out of the 85% tray. I guess you really have to watch them here at the meat counter. read more

So I got accused of stealing from this place in the most rediculous way possible. It's actually even quite funny to me. Here's the context. I go here about four or five times a week, if only because it's convenient to a couple other places I go to. I ride a bike as transportation, so I usually have a backpack on me to keep things, and...to hawl groceries around. Now I know being a dude with a backpack is a cardinal sin in grocery stores, and I'm going to have every eye and every camera on me as soon I walk in the place -- I'm well used to this. Despite women that routinely carry around giant ungodly purses, they're fine. Me with a backpack? Gimme me the death penalty I guess. So to avoid all this, I usually try to leave my backpack with my bike, but because today I had a fairly expensive laptop in there, I didn't want to leave it outside...because it'd get stolen. So I bring my backpack in, I grab a few things, I even talk to the person behind the meat counter so I could get some tenderloins...everything's fine up to this point. I talk to another worker, trying to find an energy drink, and then I go to pay for my items in the self-checkout. At this point I realize my wallet is in my backpack, I didn't have it in my pocket because I'd been at the gym earlier, and left those pants in my bag. And then at this point, some ginger kid approaches me and asks to look in my bag. At first I agree, telling the kid he's going to look awfully stupid, but then I refuse on general principle, telling them they can check their cameras if they'd like, and I was just going to go, without the items. The Opie ginger kid then asks if I want to talk to the manager. I say sure. But then I'm standing there waiting for several minutes waiting to talk to a manager about something that I should've never been forced to deal with in the first place. So I leave. After I'm in the parking lot unlocking my bike, the ruthless chubby ginger kid comes out. He's not done. Blood in his eyes and probably some in his hair too, phone in hand, talking to what I assume to be the police or maybe the manager. He's basically doing a play-by-play on the phone, relaying everything I'm doing. I yell some things and I ride off into the sunset. But afterward, here's the kicker...I begin to have doubts about how I handled the situation, because I was in a state of high emotions at the time. So after thinking about it, I decided to give the store a call in order to explain my side of things. Someone answers, I tell them I'm the person whom they just asked to search their backpack, and I started explaining why I got upset, when I overhear the person put the phone down and talk to what I assumed to be the manager, and they're saying "It's the guy who shoplifted.". Now, the problem I have with this whole situation is, despite me routinely going to this place multiple times a week, and even PREVIOUSLY earlier that VERY SAME DAY, either I'm the dumbest thief on the planet earth, who has knowingly walked into a store that he goes to frequently, with a plan to steal from it while wearing a backpack, I then draw attention to myself by choosing to talk to multiple employees in the store, and THEN I've apparently chosen to steal items in the worst possible position in the store (the self checkout line, in full view of five completely braindead overpaid teenagers who work there, whose literal only job is to watch you), and then used a locked bicycle as the worst possible getaway vehicle. And then...for some reason, after that, I then decide it's a great idea to call the store back that I've just allegedly tried to steal from. To do what exactly? If all this is correct, Opie deserves a raise. Or... Fareway on 53rd needs to take it down a notch as well. They were wrong, and should apologize. Especially Opie. read more

I'm really tired of being followed around the store because my husband is black and I'm white because the employees think we are going to steal something. We are retired military and have well enough money to spend for our food we love the meat we buy. We get a meat bundle about every other month spending about 175 to 200$ now we are considering going somewhere else to buy our food. read more

Today was the first time I shopped here. It's a small store, but that's ok I don't care for the ones you can get lost in. Very friendly workers like I've never seen a store nice like this. They are nicer then Schnucks by far and Hy-Vee. I'm still on the fence if it's cheaper then the other stores or not, but I'll definitely go back. They don't have everything you mite need is the only draw back. First store to ever just help me to the car, I thought that was really cool. They have plenty of help to we're if you needed it you could find some one with no problem. read more

I think they have very good fresh fruit and their cut-up fresh fruit is by far the best I have had. They don't have a huge selection like some other stores, but they have enough... read more

Great place. They dont have EVERYTHING that Hy-Vee or Wal-Mart does, but they have enought. Closed on Sundays.

Amazing customer service is their goal, and I believe they do a great job. In case you have never been to a Fareway, they bring the groceries out to your car and load them for you. They are much cheaper than other grocery store and if they do not have something you want, ask, and they will try to get it for you. Many people fall for the Hy-vee fuel saver cards, but if you shop at Fareway you will still save more money paying for groceries and paying full price at the pump than shopping at Hy-vee and getting "discounted" fuel. They also have the best meat out of any grocery stores. They also will price match if you ever do find a place that has a lower price than them. read more
