Well, this is getting to be a regular occurrence for us! Sunday morning now includes a drive to…read moreKwik Star on NW 36th Street in Ankeny for a couple jelly bismarks. Always fresh, and if I haven't brewed coffee at home already, the coffee is great too, as it's freshly ground.. The store has everything. I swear a person could live on groceries purchased there. The usual: milk, eggs, bananas, bread, chips, but they have potatoes, onions, ground beef, I could go on and on. I haven't tried them, but I hear their fresh fried chicken strips are the best. Oh yeah, try their soups too! Always a friendly staff, and on this morning, Heavenly waited on me and was SO pleasant. Good job Kwik Star!

There aren't many fast food or to go food places that have soup. This place does. My favorite is the chicken wild rice, but on this day, they didn't have any left, so chicken dumplings it was for me! I got the 12 oz size. The kids are so well fitting, that I was able to put this in a bag to take to car and no leaks! Grab the croutons for extra flavors. 5star for a bowl of soup? You bet! This was something I was craving and readily accessible and available on this day. Lots of chicken, dumplings. Great amounts of herbs. In fact, I'm craving it again as I write this. Are my tastes simple? Maybe. But that soup was perfect for them. I do go to many fast food places, but can find the treasures in each one. Lot parking here. Friendly staff. Great prices in most things-the coupon from the app got me this 12oz soup for $0.99 plus tax. CyHawkApproved.

The store itself is good. The order ahead and kitchen staff needs improvement. I ordered some…read morechicken and potatoes, supposed to be ready in 35 minutes. I had to wait an extra 15 minutes, ordered all white meat, got the standard mixed. Mashed potatoes no gravy were brown and had a bad taste like they were burnt-inedible. I would have been better off not ordering ahead as they had chicken available and better looking potatoes that were in the warmer with no waiting. Pretty disappointing experience

All I ever expect out of convenience store is parking (check), cleanliness (check), and service (double check). I zipped in for my coffee, went to the counter and was greeted by a young man who asked how my day was going - putting some sincerity to the tone of his voice. This was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this Kwik Star. Here's a pick of me enjoying my fine brewed Karuba (love it) coffee with a great song for the road.)

In addition to groceries you wont find in other local grocery stores, they also have hair and skin care items (I'm assuming because there's no English on the bottles, only characters in East Asian languages).

The overall vibe of the place is calming, which helps me in these hectic times. Private parking lot, great layout, helpful staff who know their store. Excellent produce.

I try to stop here every time that I am in Ames, as I find items that I cannot get elsewhere, and they add to my quality of life. Some interesting food options always intrigue me too!

They are a tad over priced and in some cases I have found items that are over double the cost of big business. But it's privately owned so I understand to an extent. In the evening they have high school kids that work there which is amazing for small town kids. Sometimes the employees seem to be more involved with their phones than their job but they are kids. What do you expect? So after living in several small towns with markets i give it 4 out of 5!

I have never felt more embarrassed and disrespected at a business than I did at Fareway Ames. I…read morepresented my valid Hawaii state-issued ID and was told they "couldn't verify it." To avoid any issues, I then provided my U.S. passport,literally one of the most official forms of identification possible, and was AGAIN told they couldn't verify it. At that point, it stopped feeling like a misunderstanding and started feeling extremely targeted and discriminatory. Being told that BOTH forms of government-issued identification were somehow not acceptable was beyond unreasonable and honestly humiliating. The way this situation was handled lacked professionalism, respect, and basic human decency. I left feeling singled out and uncomfortable, and I genuinely believe the treatment I received could be perceived as racial profiling. Policies are one thing, but treating customers with dignity should be the bare minimum. I hope management seriously addresses this so nobody else has to experience what I did.

It's a little Mom and Pop shop with locally sourced products of all kinds. I went out there for a pound of butter and left with a huge sack of everything I and the family loves!! I also left with a need to go back.
