HyVee Market Cafe

Love the place. Great staff and the food is good. Don’t really care for the buffet but cooked to order food is really good. They usually have some kind of happy hour/​special. Family friendly environment.

I ate here for the first time for lunch. I had a pretty pleasant experience. I honestly didn’t realize that it was a legit restaurant, so I went with the buffet. On the way out a snagged a menu to look at for next time (no I didn’t steal an actual menu haha). I am eager to go back and order from off the menu!
One thing that I did notice was that the servers weren’t very well trained. But they could have been new.

This is my favorite new local place & its in my supermarket. This is my 3^rd visit, first for lunch. I’m going for the BBQ special… its great. I love the fact they have bar sitting so I can bother the staff while eating.

Hamburger was the saltiest thing that I have ever ate. Horrid. The service was also completely off. I started out with one server, then another came on board.
Yeah, not doing that again.

Especially for the price this is a great casual sit down restaurant. The menu is limited, but specials mixed in frequently keeping things fresh. The staff is nice and. accommodating and the restaurant always seems to have people in it without being overcrowded.
My wife and I always eat the boneless wings which are priced very reasonably especially with their $ 10 all you can eat option. It is rare that my wife and I can have a nice sit in restaurant and be out in under $ 25. The buffalo sauce is very vinegar based, but worth it nonetheless.
The breakfast cheeseburger is also fantastic with a fried egg, gouda cheese and bacon.

Odd, right?! I’m writing a review for a dining establishment within a HyVee. But odder still, is this new sit down restaurant that’s not completely sit down. What do I mean?
So, you can mosey on in, be seated at a table, peruse the menu (which is limited and mostly comprised of burgers and their own «brand» beers albeit a seemingly full wine/​cocktail option behind the bar) OR you can order your Chinese and Chicken take our in a styro box and cart it in to dine.
Perhaps this new forum will take-​off, but I’m used to the open cafeteria style eatery. Will folks know to bring in their styro-​containers? What about the waiters? Are they being compensated enough to serve your waters with that styro-​encased meal to even get a tip?
Thus is the confusion of the HyVee Market Café. Burgers were on the salty side (shoulda gone with the styro-​encased food option, maybe). Service was quite top notch, so tipped accordingly.
Let’s give them a few months to work out the logistics… then we might revisit.

I liked the fact that there is a bar in a café and you can watch a game there. The waitress was undertrained and I ordered a BBQ chicken flatbread and I never tasted BBQ sauce as disgusting as the sauce they used.
