HyVee

Sometimes they have good sales, but otherwise very over priced if you are not watching ads. I used to like there dining area, but now they are taking it out and putting in a restaurant. It’s a grocery store, not a Friday night hot spot… I will miss there weekly specials.

I’m not from cedar falls but came cause I have family here. Seems that this is the closest thing to something like a walmarts/jewel/Dominic’s hybrid. Maybe not Walmart, this place seems a few cents costlier and that adds up when purchasing several items.
Anyways the place was well organized, extensive selection of alcohol, food samples here and there and very clean and lit building in general.

This location is very busy but is the closest grocery store to my home. My family frequents the Chinese express and the deli for breakfast quite often. Plus we buy quite a bit of our groceries here.
The Chinese express is fantastic. We love the honey chicken and sweet and sour chicken. The crab Rangoon are great too. You get huge portions of the money. The meals come with an egg roll and appetizer (crab Rangoon). My husband loves their breakfast buffets on Sunday. It starts at 9am. They have eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy. I usually order an omelet off the breakfast menu.
They have by far the largest selection and variety of groceries of any store in the area. If you can’t find the items you want here you’re probably going to have to go to a specialty store or order off the Internet.
The slogan at hyveeis there is a helpful smile in every aisle. I don’t believe that. Sometimes you get people to acknowledge you but most the time you don’t. They never proactively offer assistance and ask if they can help you find anything. They usually try to rush by you in such a hurry that you don’t want to ask them anything.
This location is extremely busy. You can tell when the University of Northern Iowa is back in session because the parking lot definitely gets fuller. The bad part is when it’s out of session and there’s less people shopping they take up a quarter of the parking lot with the greenhouse in the summer. Parking is always terrible.
