    Korean Steak Sandwich Korean Steak Sandwich
    Patti M.

    This is still a favorite place of mine for a quick lunch. It's close to downtown and has easy access to 1-235. My regular order now is the steak quesadilla. It is big enough for 2 people or two meals, has a generous amount of steak in it, and the salsa has enough heat to make it spicy but not overbearing. Reasonably priced at 12.99. I GREATLY miss the Korean steak sandwich and would beg the owners to bring it back! And it would be nice if they expanded their patio. Don't forget to ask for a loyalty card, they don't offer them automatically.

    Sad excuse for a Chicken pesto sandwich
    Jackie P.

    Lunch | $10-20 Placed an order online. Picked it up and went home to enjoy. Unfortunately this is the saddest chicken pesto sandwich I have ever had. It's a charred tiny piece and THEY FORGOT MY SIDE! I feel.so ripped off. No side of jalapeno creamed corn so a significant part of my meal is missing. Driving back 10 miles for it is not realistic. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ORDERS because they apparently do not check for accuracy. Very disappointed. Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5 Group size 2 people

    I love this place, a combination grocery store, and food market that is a superb option, whether you're headed to or from Des Moines Airport or in this section of town. Good customer service without going over the top, kind staff, and a great selection of items throughout the store, but the restaurant wows me with a long list of great options on their menu. The grocery store has a terrific vibe, and the eatery is pretty simple but with a lot of light and color plus space. My most recent visit involved a tasty BLT; their sweet potato fries are so good.

    Gateway Cheeseburger

    Can't go wrong with a classic. It's just better here! The sesame bun makes it. Burger is always juicy. Never dry. Comes with onion & tomato but I get it without. I love the crispy fries & they have good ranch! I love getting desserts here too. They have tons to choose from/ the whole menu ranges in variety from salads, wraps, soups, burgers, comfort meals, burritos you name it they got it! Order inside & they bring it to you or take it to go. Also shop their grocery! Tonnnsss of variety for everyone. Definitely check this place out for some well sourced food.

    Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad - Large without Parmesan- just over $16 and totally worth it
    Amy J.

    My huge unbelievably healthy salad was only $16 and some change. It had an excellent volume of vegetable matter including onion, corn relish, and plenty of smoked chicken and greens. My favorite meal is a giant salad and this hit the spot. It's in a great market for those who eat healthy too!

    Huevos Motulenos
    Christine I.

    I love when a grocery store has a restaurant inside. I'm all for eating before grocery shopping. Ordered some brunch this time and they have a variety of options on their menu. The Huevos motuleños were delicious, lots of beans and veggies and I asked my eggs to be over medium. The salsa wasn't spicy but still good. I love their tater tots here because they get them crispy. They have pretty big portion sizes, a lot of seating, and friendly service.

    Never disappoints, great prices, great tasting and fresh food... Both in the café, and in the cold case in the market.

    Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad - Small
    Taylor N.

    Stopped here for lunch on a Friday. It is a popular lunch location! The line moved quick. Our order came out quickly as well. They have a great selection of salads, sandwiches and soups. I had the cilantro lime chicken salad and it was very tasty. The focaccia that came with it was also great. So garlicky, which I love. Plenty of seating and fun to explore the market before and after. Definitely recommend!

    Chicken Bacon Panini - Large
    Jenni H.

    What a cute little market. We popped in on a Saturday around 10:30 for a quick lunch with friends before we headed home to Iowa City. I was SO surprised at how busy the cafe side was. Holy line. This cafe has lots of seating options, but be warned there aren't a ton of good options for larger parties. The menu had something for everyone, it was reasonably priced and considering it was so jam packed-- service was prompt and kind. I was impressed with their sandwich and wrap menu, eventually opting on a tasty but messy Nashville hot chicken sandwich. There are plant-based and gluten-free options, stellar kid options and nothing fancy breakfast options. Parking was a non-issue. Everyone left comfortably full. No complaints here! Gateway Market boasts a cafe worth frequenting, and open on the daily.

    Petite market salad (with blue cheese crumbles/dressing).
    Dan T.

    I know a lot of people have the same disdain for delivery reviews as they have for chain restaurants or fast food reviews.... So if you're one of them you might want to just keep scrolling and skip this. But when it's done right... It can be a good thing. I ordered the large Pork Belly Cubano ($9.99 for the regular sized one...$11.99 for the large) with smoked ham, smoked pork belly, Swiss, pickle, onion, mayo, mustard, and baguette from Gateway through Foodsby. It comes with a pickle spear and a choice of sides. I went with a petite market salad (with blue cheese crumbles/dressing). The delivery was done pretty close to the quoted time (arrived at 1117 AM...initial estimated delivery was 1125 AM). The baguette had a nice grill on it to give the sandwich a good crunch. The meat was moist (get over it people) and very flavorful. The smokiness was subtle and not overpowering. All the salad components were nice and fresh. Nothing wilting and everything had a nice snap to it. It was nice surprise to have plenty of real blue cheese crumbles and not dressing flavored with a few crumbles mixed into it. I like a good Cuban. The layers give your mouth and taste buds the whole experience. First a nicely constructed Cuban takes your eyes on a journey of expectation. The crunch followed by softness and the taste of the bread, Swiss cheese, meats, pickle, mustard, etc. Each with it's own distinct and powerful flavor, but nicely melding together. I really can't think of a more perfect sandwich... Maybe a cheesesteak? One thought I had was I'm not sure the mayo was needed. It didn't really add a lot to the sandwich, but it did add some unnecessary mess. That being said it didn't really take away from the fundamental taste. I might ask for it to be held next time just to compare. My pickle spear was forgotten with my order...but that's easily forgiven. I'm pretty darn full without it. And honestly... Dinging a restaurant on something like a pickle spear.... That's kind of a dick move. I can't speak for in-person service, seating, handicapped accessibility, bathroom cleanliness, parking, etc., because...delivery. But I can say the food I received was quality and it was all VERY good.

    The gateway burger is one of the metro's best. Order it a little under your preferred temp though.

    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 had my infant daughter with me and had problems finding a cart without a broken strap to buckle her in. The carts were not in the best shape. After finally locating a cart that would be safe for her, I moved on. I was greeted with wooden tubs full of discounted products from plastic Easter eggs to Prego pasta sauce to Ramen Noodles. These were priced great, even after adding 10%. Next stop the produce. I will say the produce looked much better than what Dahl's had. Price wise, it was hit or miss. Some were priced well while I wasn't impressed with others. This trend continued throughout the store. There were excellent prices on some things and then some not so impressive prices. On to the checkout. I've never liked these checkouts where you send the cart to one side while you go to the other (especially with an infant strapped in). They had plenty of checkouts open and opened more while I was in line. I was warmly greeted and chatted with the lady. You can use coupons here as well and I handed those over without any problem. I was very happy with my final bill! I'll be back for more great deals!
