I'm giving 5 stars because I really hope they make it a permanent menu item. There is nowhere else in town to get a good vegan chickn sandwich. However it is a little dry/bland. They only put vegan mayo on one side of the bun, idk about you guys but no bun should be without sauce/mayo. Next time I ordered it tossed in buffalo and got the vegan thousand island for my fries and it was 10/10. The staff is always very kind!

This review is for the Hy-Vee Corporate Headquarters, and specifically for the Hy-Vee online…read moreordering and grocery delivery only. This is my third year signing up for the Hy-Vee membership and it's NOT worth it! Hy-Vee jacks the prices up on their app and the overall app experience has been awful. I only get the Hy-Vee membership because I like to order my groceries online and have them delivered, and every time I order food through their app, I have a bad experience. Literally EVERY TIME. The app is out-dated, SLOW, and poorly maintained (other than adding the latest deals). Each time I use the app, it gets worse. First of all, I get error messages at least five times EVERY TIME I use the app. It takes me at least three times to login EVERY TIME (and my login and pw is saved on my phone and auto-signs me in... using the same login credentials each time). Lately, when I navigate to a page while shopping, I select an item, and the page refreshes and takes me back to the home screen, so I have to scroll to find where I left off just to keep shopping. A third of the food I put in the cart and purchase is not even available at the store. It's 2026... all inventory should be tracked. On the shelves, when it's purchased at the register, and on the app! Why don't these businesses invest in these no-brainer quality processes? If the item is out of stock at the store, it should not be available to buy on the app. Please let me fix your app and help you streamline this process Hy-Vee! I guarantee your revenue would go UP from your online customer sales. So, next comes the check out... I always select 'no substitutions' and 'contactless delivery', but what's the point? Hy-Vee uses third-party delivery services so the shopper doesn't know I selected those options. Every shopper asks me what I want for substitutions. The communication between the shopper and buyer is not great and really needs to be improved. All the systems used are not connected correctly or streamlined. It's not the shoppers fault, it's Hy-Vee's fault. These shoppers are trying to make extra money and the way the app is setup is absolutely loosing Hy-Vee money and the shopper. I also think there should be some standards set when a shopper is hired so the expectation is clear on all fronts. Shoppers need to learn how to pick out produce! FOR THE LOVE! It never fails that every time I order produce, I get something rotten or past its prime. And Hy-Vee does not have anything on their app to make this right. I've probably spent over $100 in the last three years buying rotten produce that someone getting paid picked out for me. I ordered groceries today and again, not a good experience. All the messages I received from the shopper came to me via text (not through the app, not from the phone number that sends me notifications from Hy-Vee, but from a new random number). The shopper kept tell me that certain foods were not in stock and 'here are the substitution options'... while trying to send me pictures of the food... but the pictures didn't come through. There was not a link to the pictures, no link back to the app to show the pictures... nothing. As the shopper was picking the items, I did receive five of the same yet separate text messages, providing me a link to 'track the status of my order'. The link took me to yet another third-party provider that told me the shopper was 'shopping'. However, I did not get a notification that said the shopper was on his way to deliver the groceries... not helpful. I'd love to know who the architect, developers and QA testers are on this app because it's one of the worst I have ever used. To end this lovely experience I had today, I received a text message while my grocery was being delivered that said "Randy is approaching with your order from UnknownClient: ####. Your driver will hand the order to you." I guess this is their 'contactless delivery' message? Quite the personalization too, I guess I'm the Unknown Client? lol! To top off this review, two and half hours after my order was delivered, I received the text messages of *the pictures* the shopper was trying to send me while shopping. I mean, come on. I'm embarrassed for you Hy-Vee. Is this the best you can do? I have spent thousands of dollars at Hy-Vee since I moved to this area and I am constantly so disappointed. My advice is - either drop the online app and delivery service all together because it's awful...or... fix your piece of crap app that could really make Hy-Vee a lot more money in online sales.

I ultimately chose not to proceed with Warners' Stellian after reviewing a detailed quote for a…read moreBosch washer/dryer set. While the sales staff was responsive, the overall service offering raised several red flags. #1) Overly restrictive contract terms Both appliances were labeled "special order - no cancels / no returns," despite being standard Bosch 500 Series models. That level of restriction is excessive for mainstream appliances and shifts all risk to the customer. #2) Installation risk pushed to the buyer The terms require full payment upfront and place responsibility on the customer for confirming all measurements and site conditions. If installation cannot be completed, return-trip and additional fees apply. This creates unnecessary exposure before installers even see the space. #3) Opaque and inflated add-ons The quote included mandatory installation parts ($99.99) with no clear breakdown, an overpriced stacking kit ($149.99), and a steam kit added ($29.99) to a dryer that does not have a steam option. These line items reduced confidence in the accuracy and necessity of the quote. #4) Pricing certainty concerns The contract allows post-order price adjustments due to tariffs if delivery is delayed, which undermines confidence in the final price after payment. #5) Liability limitations Damage claims must be identified before installers leave, and liability is tightly limited in the fine print. This heavily favors the seller in the event of issues. In the end, although the appliance prices were competitive on paper, the combination of restrictive policies, unclear add-ons, and customer-unfriendly terms made the overall offering less attractive than competitors. I would recommend that prospective buyers read the full contract carefully and compare not just price, but risk and flexibility.
