This place is great for craft beer. Both the selection (beers from around the US and outside the…read moreUS) and service. Jack was awesome in helping me track down some specific beers I was looking for. They also sell many (most?) of their beers as singles for beer nerds like me that want to try a lot of different beers and breweries but not have to get a 4 or 6 pack. Small but well stocked and easy access from anywhere in Iowa City.

So I have been going to John's off and on for years, but lately I have noticed some definite…read moreimprovements in the quality of food they are ordering (ie, groceries) which makes my heart sing. They have all types of food items like avocados, lemons, milk, organic beef, cheeses, cat food, garlic, along with a wine room (vinho verde) and everything else they have. This makes my life easier.

It's my first time going to this supermarket and I love it. They have a good collection of grocery…read moreitems. I was looking for the Siracha but wasn't able to find it anywhere in the store. I asked the staff and they were very nice helping me out to look for it but we ended up not finding it. Overall, they have a lot of good food here. I will definitely come back for more grocery shopping from now on.

Fareway FTW! I don't…read morefrequently shop at Fareway. Mostly because: 1) it is closed Sunday when it seems like I always end up grocery shopping but 2) it doesn't deliver! (As a mom of two with an insanely packed schedule, delivery is essential.) Alas, it's available now for online shopping and pickup! I ordered on a Friday morning and picked up my order later that afternoon. (Pickup is available for any order over $30.) The online interface is great! Compared to Hyvee and Walmart I'll make the bold statement in saying it is the best. I say this because there are plenty of deals at Fareway (buy this item and get this item free) and 1) it shows your these deals seamlessly but also, 2) you're able to see the discount in your cart right away! Pickup slots are right out front, directly outside the front door. Just push a button on your confirmation email to say when you're leaving or there. My order came out super quick, the staff was wonderful, my order was correct and price was right. No complaints here! I'll be ordering pickup again soon! Try Fareway's online ordering now.

This is a wonderful recently opened grocery store and restaurant. It's tucked away between the…read moreT-Mobile storefront and the Hertz office on the corner of Riverside Drive and Hiway 1 West (next door to the KFC). The grocery store is very nicely organized, clean, and well-stocked with a variety of Mexican and Latin American items. The restaurant is attached and it too is clean and newly furnished with booths. The bar offers seating as well. The staff here are super friendly! And the food is fantastic! Their street tacos ($3) are delicious and my new favorite item is the "sencillas" ($5) - a large fresh flour tortilla stuffed with refried beans and queso. Served warm and melty - the accompanying salsa is a little spicy. But I had no trouble squirting in on and devouring it! They also have freshly made tamales on occasion - the "salsa verde y pollo" (green salsa with chicken) is DELICIOUS!! Check out their menu and give this place a try!!

Surprisingly, the inventory on 12/23 was very good. I picked up exactly what I needed. Plenty of friendly staff working, but there just isn't enough room to move around. We were 3-carts wide in the aisles. My fault for having to shop on 12/23, but still. We got in and out quickly. I enjoy the 'specialty' items that Aldi carries for short periods of time. For example, the Green Bean Casserole pizza I picked up. Or unique sauces and jellies. Many unique cheeses. They have so much more than that. They also have their infamous 'aisle of shame.' This is the aisle you go down if you want to blow your grocery budget, or if you have no budget at all. We're talking about the non-food items. Those throw pillows, boots, candles, underwear you didn't know you need. Don't leave Aldi without strolling down this one. I should also mention their extensive wine and beer selection. Not sure it's Trader Joe's level, but good nonetheless. Check them out next time you're in the area. I'm a frequent shopper, so maybe I'll bump into you. Don't forget that quarter for the shopping cart rental. You WILL need a cart.
