For Christmas dinner, I purchased a beef tenderloin at the North Liberty Fareway. Was asked if I…read morewanted it trimmed up. Told them yes but leave some for flavor. They convinced me to clean it up and they'd put the scraps in a separate bag. Hmmm?...ok. I seasoned the loin and thought, what the heck and laid the scraps on top. OMG!!! That meat was the best ever. No need for a knife. Very little chewing. Made the best gravy. Everyone LOVED it!! Even the leftovers were as tender and moist as the first bite. Trust the folks behind the counter. They know what they are doing.

Great cuts of meat at decent prices. Occasionally they even have gyro meat! Staff is always…read morefriendly, and helpful. I just wish they had lamb. Never seen it here, ask for it frequently, and it will probably never be carried.

The meat department is always rocking with butchers who have been in staff for many years. They have a great supply of meats, and they are always ready to cut a piece of meat to size. They have experience and it shows. The front end staff are very able, but it can get crowded near the registers during the busy time. If you need help taking your purchase to your car they are always ready, and I do mean always. Nice place to shop if you're ready for good prices without all of the fluff.

Why review a grocery store? Good question. But a review can help Yelpers find the hidden gem of a…read morebusiness in a new city of any size. So here goes! Fareway Stores are a mid-sized grocery. Not the choices of a Kroger, Hy Vee, Walmart or Target Super Store, but they have a selection to meet most needs. What sets this chain apart then? A number of things. First, Fareway is known for their meat department. They staff the department with a number of butchers (never one or two. Think 4-5!). When I walk up to the butcher case I am often asked about what I'd like before I have had time to decide. They gladly cut what you want from a larger piece, e.g. "I'd like a 4 lb. prime rib roast." You'll get it. Along with the standards of pork, beef and chicken, there is a fine selection of ready to cook meat dishes (stuffed chicken breast, shiskabobs, etc) and a number of deli items. You won't find that case stocked with prepackaged ground beef, pork items, etc. This is an entire department that rivals the small premium meat counter at a large store. Secondly, Fareway is s student-friendly employer. They hire many young people and are accommodating to the high school student's active schedule. Great community orientation. This leads to a third quality. The many employees do more than stock shelves and check out customers. This store still provides carry out service for nearly every customer. If you have a small bag, you are probably fine carrying your own. But for that cart of groceries--carry out assistance every time. And no carts are left in the parking lot. That young person rolls it back into the store. And while it would be nice for the carry out employees, no tipping. If you find a Fareway Store in your community, give them a try if you haven't already.
