Hy-Vee

I love Hyvee. My favorite parts of the store is the deli, liquor and health food departments. Before other supermarkets embraced the healthy lifestyle, Hyvee was one of the few places (aside from Jane’s and No Name Nutrition) that carried unique items.

I had to stop going to this location even though it is the closest to my house. They always seem to be out of what I want to buy and I’m not just talking about sales items. They leave old and browned fruits and veggies in the produce aisle as if someone is going to buy them. The employees are nice and seem to want to be helpful but I think they need new management. The store on 132 and Dodge is soo much nicer. I have to drive further but it’s worth it.

I love Hy-Vee…this is the 4^th I’ve been to, and while it’s not the best of them, it’s certainly miles ahead of other stores… The people here, especially at the meat counter are always friendly and helpful… Prices are fair and the store is far cleaner then some of the other stores I’ve frequented… Plus, they had both the frozen chicken kiev I like and the fresh chicken kiev at the meat counter… I’d happily come back…

Had a gift card her and tried a few of the food experiences multiple times in December. The pasta I ordered had meatballs that could only be described as gamey and I seriously doubted the safety of the meat and quit eating it. The sauce was super sweet and not edible either and I ended up tossing the meal. A chicken dinner found dry meat and very bland sides. A meal from the Chinese portion of the food area had the most success with fresh tasting pork, rice and a decent crab rangoon. Sadly on that visit I stood by the food register all alone waiting for quite some time for someone to come help me. They looked like they just got back from break. I was the only one there-​so it would make sense I guess to take a break… but that was quite the wait. More than likely not going to try any take out food from here in the future.

$ 4.25 for ONE slice if ham, One slice of turkey, One piece of cold rubbery bacon, all on a stale pice of bread. Step it up a bit Hi-​V, I expected better.
I realize it’s 4 $, but this was a sad effort at something they call a deli sandwich. Flavorless, dry, boring. It’s nothing more than fuel for the bod, and that is being generous.
I’ll stick with the Pizza Pasta bar from now on.

Hy-​Vee has the best grocery selection and best deli selection. I moved away from Omaha a few years ago so I can’t come here too often, but I always realize how much I am missing when I return.
The only detractor is that some of their non-​store brand items are a little higher price than other stores.

I like coming here for their custom made deli sandwiches and their Chinese. Both are fairly cheep and taste pretty good for your money. The deli sandwiches are one of the best deals in town when it comes to sandwiches, but you have to be very specific on what you want and how much you want because they will try and use as little of everything as possible. The Chinese taste pretty good, but is just your basic Chinese fare. You get a ton of it though and it is convenient and not over priced. Sometimes it is hard to communicate with the chefs behind the Chinese counter due to a thick accent, but they are always very helpful.

I was looking for brunch at Hy-​Vee on Sunday and I was impressed. Even at 10am there is a wide selection of food from Italian to Chinese to sandwiches to salad bar. There was also a Sunday brunch breakfast buffet.
I got some Chinese as they were finishing their prep so all the food was very fresh. Good crab rangoon. I got the cashew chicken and pepper beef in a combo that was on sale for $ 5.99. Good stuff.
It’s not a restaurant, there are a lot of food selections and then a cashier — like a cafeteria cashier. Then you can sit where you want or take the food home.
They say never go shopping on an empty stomach, so go eat first.

This Hy-​Vee is a ‘village’ store with everything from credit union to restaurant to more. The produce section is large and of good quality. The name brand products I like seem to be priced higher than at other large grocery stores. I find the overshadowing of name brand products by Hy-​Vee substitutes frustrating, as the Hy-​Vee products are not of the same quality.

Honestly, pretty much every Hy-​Vee store drives me crazy. The Peony Park location is probably my favorite of the lot, but I always find it to be a bit too crowded with only so-​so prices. Their bakery? Meh. Meat counter? Meh. Deli? Ick. To-​go Chinese? Yuk. Buffet? Not even gonna go there. And I honestly feel ashamed of myself whenever I’ve come home with generic Hy-​Vee brand food.
Still, the staff at this location have always been super-​nice and helpful. And I have found their post office to be quite convenient (it’s a great place to avoid the long lines that always pop up at USPS branches). And I guess they’ll dry clean your clothes, too? And rent you your favorite rom-​coms? And there’s a health clinic? Too much going on here to really comprehend it all. Maybe that’s part of the problem for me.
But let’s get down to why I go here — I’m talking the liquor department. Seriously, this Hy-​Vee has a superior booze selection than just about any other place in town. Besides a great selection of Scotch, Irish whiskey, rye and bourbon (along with any other type of the hard stuff), their selection of craft beer is top notch. From New Belgium’s Lips of Faith series to hard-​to-​find local brews like those made by C.I.B., Hy-​Vee has it all and a whole lot more.

i think hyvee is over priced. also deli department is not the best the pre slice everything.

Great staff! Very helpful and friendly. A special kiddos to Chef Jonny!

I had a really great experience with the HyVee bakery. I placed a simple order giving very little detail for a graduation cake, requesting that they use Creighton’s colors of blue and white. When I picked up the cake, I was SO impressed. They spruced up the cake with little graduation caps and diplomas. They did a spectacular job with taking the little details I gave them and running with it. Thank you to whoever made my cake! I was thrilled with how it turned out! And the price was fantastic too.
