I have patronized this specific location for many years & will continue. The management & service you receive from store employees has been nothing short of exceptional! The store is continually clean, well stocked, great displays of fresh produce & meat & always organized. The employees are pleasant & helpful in every way. Every department has a wide selection of choices. If you can't find what you need, share it with them & chances are they can & will special order it from the warehouse for you if it's available. If you haven't experienced a visit to this location, I highly encourage you visit. Their staff is exceptional & they strive to keep you coming back each time!

Love altoona faraway. The meat department is outstanding. Always fresh variety of beef, fish, pork, poultry and other meat product's. There's a good selection of seafood. Faraway also offer grill or griddle ready food too. The produce department is well organized and the displays are neat and clean. I recommend this grocers for all yoru neeeds.

Love this location wayyyyy better than Pleasanthill. Staff very pleasant at meat department. The manager even went out and found me
Spanish rice and brought it to me as I couldn't find it. Hats off to Meat Department. Keep up the amazing job. Also elder lady back there pays attention when you come up to the counter

Growing up, Fareway meat dept was nothing but perfect. I got some stuffed pork chops from them today and wow… never experience such a terribly seasoned and chewy cut of pork in my life. Got it for my anniversary, too, so I definitely won’t be going back.

Getting cash back at the register, up to $50 in 5 dollar bills.regularly, is effing asinine.

Always the best quality and even when prices are high the products and service are top of the line.

Like Fareway but tonight customer service was non existent. The cashier and the person sacking groceries didn't say squat to me. Acted like I was bothering them. OK if you hate your job so much I will go elsewhere and pay someone else's salary. Also the Nathan cheese hot dogs were raised a $1. What the hell? $5.99 for these. I can get them at Hy Vee for what you used to charge. Keep raising prices and I won't bother shopping here anymore. You do have great meat though.

Our checkout employee was nice and patient. Both employees at the meat counter were helpful and friendly. One of the employees sliced up some meat for us, which was nice. Most Fareway's do not carry the brand of pizza I eat; however, the Assistant Manager said he'd check to see if the store could order the specific brand of pizza and if he's able to order it he stated he would.that would be nice. Worth checking out this store for your grocery needs. Friendly and helpful staff.

Now if it was for the quality meat counter it would be 5 stars. I like this store in Altoona because I can get boneless skinless chicken breasts at the meat counter. Today I purchased their own ground beef for 2.99 a pound.

They don't always have the unique things I like to buy. There produce is alright but I buy that somewhere else. I am a loyal meat customer and Fareway will always be on my weekly grocery stops.

Very friendly employees, it's great that they take the groceries to the car for you, even though I usually carry mine myself because of my anti-social German Shepherd

The store is always very clean and well organized! It is big enough to to have everything that I need in a grocery store and small enough that it doesn't feel like a metropolis.
The staff is always helpful and courteous.
A great store!

I Like Fareway It's Has Plenty Of Parking Lots To Choose From In Every Department The Employees Are The Best From The Management, The Checkers And The Employees Who Take Out Your Groceries To The Car. The Employees In The Meat Department Are All A Class Act Ready To Serve You With All Your Needs If You Have Never Been There Check Them Out Ism Sure You Will Be Impressed!

As always the staff was super friendly. Everything I needed was in stock and will never get used to having someone take my purchase to my car and he was super friendly also!
