Hy-Vee

All I want to say is whatever manager made the decision to close the kitchen and Chinese food area early tonight is an @$$hole! Totally ruined the long day and now have to find an alternative for the huge family… You suck, but I like your beer selection.

Excellent produce, the best in town. Great selection of wines and liquor department. Decent buffet make sure to check out the Chinese. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Make sure to use a fuel saver card if you’re going to shop there to offset the cost. One of Lincoln best supermarkets.

This place is so expensive, they try to be higher end of super saver, is good food lunch and prepared foods. I usually get the 2 piece chicken dinner. I remember I forgot my wallet once and the clerk have me my lunch for free. This place might charge high prices but they have excellent customer service.

Clean, and friendly service. Lots of good stuff, and big store. But its really expensive on a lot of items. They also have a lot of good wine in their Wine and Spirits area.

The good: Huge selection of everything from meat to produce, deli, dairy and frozen. They have a full kitchen, catering, bakery, large Wine and Spirits and a Parmacy. The Sunday and Wednesday ad usually has a few bargains like $ 2 Milk, or 99 cent Eggs, or 1.99 a lb strawberry etc. The Bad: Price. I have made a little study of the prices at area grocery stores including Super Target, Walmart, and Super Saver. Hyvee is by far the most expensive on most everything. 20−50% highet usually. Here are some recent examples of on-​sale items: 1lb Driscoll Strawberry. Hyvee: $ 4.99, SuperSaver: $ 3.98 Super Target: $ 2.99. Blueberry Nutragrain Bar 8 count: HyVee: $ 3.99, Super Saver: $ 3.29 Target: $ 2.69 Walmart: $ 2.54. Dozen eggs: HyVee: $ 2.29 Super Saver $ 1.98 $ Target $ 1.79 Walmart $ 1.69. Hebrew National Hot Dogs. HyVee $ 5.99 Super Target $ 3.99 Walmart: $ 3.99. 45 oz Container of I can’t believe it’s not butter: HyVee $ 7.49, Target $ 5.99. Walmart $ 5.98. ⁸⁵⁄₁₅ ground beef: Hyvee $ 5.99 a lb. Everyone else $ 4.50−4.99 lb.
You get the idea. Same stuff can be marked up significantly at HyVee. Until they reign in their pricing to be more competitive with other stores I will only shop the sales, which is why they get 2 stars instead of 1.

I go here to get most of my groceries. Friendly staff and very clean. It’s a bigger HyVee so they have a lot to pick from. The meat department is very helpful and always on top of it. Highly recommended!

The ambiance is what it is… it’s a grocery store café. It’s value-​oriented with good portions. It’s not granite city buffet, but it’s good enough for what we wanted. It’s short order at its best, but not for everyone.

This is my first time at this location. That’s my disclaimer.
The only redeeming experience at this Hy-​Vee was the food. I came here on lunch, and wanted the salad bar.
I don’t recommend the salad bar. I prefer the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ mix (lettuce/​spinach), but this location only serves lettuce… completely iceberg lettuce. That turned me off. When I approached a male associate (Hy-​Vee employee) at the hot case, I wanted to ask him about using a To Go container for a Stay meal because the posted sign. He hummed and ha-​ed, walked over to the salad bar and quoted me the price of a single pass or buffet, which was clearly posted on a few signs and did not address my question. I gave up trying, and went to the Asian side, which I think Hy-​Vee should change from «Chinese.»
Redemption. I ordered one plate of heaping white, steamed rice (that’s more like Uncle Ben’s) and their Pineapple Chicken. The Asian meal was definitely worth it. Also, the service was much better at that counter, as well. I’ve noticed that more often than not Asian people working at Hy-​Vee are relegated to the «Chinese» food counter.
Fail. When choosing a seat, the dozen or so occupied tables were reinforced with dirty plates and dirty tables abound, leaving less than half of the seating area available. If there’s a few crumbs, it’s easy enough to wipe off and sit down. I’m not that OCD. But, smeared things on tables requires a little more attention. A few employees walked past the seating area, looked at the messy tables, and kept walking.
When I started eating, it took six or seven attempts to connect to their WiFi. During my meal, I had to reconnect four times. I had wanted to write a paper for class, which also required some sources online.
In summary, I did not have a good experience at this location. I’m definitely not happy with the service. It looks nice from the outside, it’s a decent neighborhood, but I won’t be returning.

Excellent store.
Great café area (salad bar is the best).
Extensive produce, bakery, fish, meat, deli, and alcohol departments with excellent selection.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Overall, just a wonderful store.

Breakfast at the grocery store?
Not real good. The food is cooked but the crowd it brings in is a bit… The tables are not cleared in a timely manner. No Service. Better off at a dinner for the money.
Eggs were ok. Hash browns were crisp, the sausages were cooked and hot.
