Stopped in to this location today looking for a weapon to combat gingivitis. As I roamed the aisles adjacent to the Pharmacy, I found myself in a dilemma: Oral-B or Colgate? I approached the Pharma counter for a recommendation. As fate would have it, a western Iowa native by the name of Connor stepped up to fulfill my needs in the war against bad breath. Without hesitation, he declared Oral-B as the GOAT of t-brushes. "Throw that Colgate in the trash." - Bob 3:16 Thank you Dr. Clark!!! read more

Spent nearly $200 on groceries. Put them in the car, then sauntered over to the grill set up outside the door. It took at least five minutes for anyone to notice me waiting. I ordered a cheeseburger and a can of soda. The warm cans of soda were resting in a tub of lukewarm water. There were no napkins. The patio door was locked, so there was no place to sit down. The incident made me grumpy. So after I had finished my overpriced burger, I went back to the point of sale and complained. I politely suggested to the grill cook, Bryan, an Assistant Manager, that they had a customer service problem. I detailed it (lukewarm soda, lack of napkins, and a locked patio). Acting like a jackass seventeen-year-old, he said they did not have a problem. He did not accept the problem , Instead he denied there was one... He did not apologize and instead escalated his unprofessional manner. Whatever happened to the HyVee slogan "a helpful smile in every aisle"? I guess since he was outside the store, he's not required to be civil to the customers ... read more

Delivered a beautiful cake to my daughter at University of Iowa. They are very accommodating.

Best way to tailgate- have food ice and goodies delivered from Hy-Vee .. driver was super nice !

I like the bakery and the meat departments. They both have a wide selection of quality products. My only complaint is they love to constantly rearrange isles. It's like a scavenger hunt. So much so that sometimes the employees are not sure where things are. read more

Our go-to neighborhood Hy-Vee. Typically everything we need is in stock, though there have been a couple of times we wanted some deli items and they have been sold-out. We typically go the Aisles Online route to avoid those impulse purchases that ALWAYS happen when you shop Hy-Vee. 4/5 because the pharmacy seems to be slammed at all times. They could have a full staff behind the counter and there's always a line. Clean store. Ample parking. Starbucks inside is a bonus. read more

Dig Hyvee. Not as frequent at this location as the one in Coralville, thus I'm partial to the one near my house. Good beer, cheese and meat selection. The renovation they've done has made the place very nice and the people here are always fantastic. Bottom line - shop at Hy-vee! read more

Hy-Vee - Grocery Near Me - Iowa City, Iowa

See all

I went to this Waterfront Hy-Vee to buy some beer for myself and buy some organic cheese for a friend, so she could make some enchiladas. I was passed by employees as I strolled through the store, who all asked if I needed help finding anything...even though I didn't need any help, I was grateful that they asked, just in case I did need help. Overall, I had a pretty good experience. read more

IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET TWO KIDS IN A CART AND ACTUALLY HAVE GROCERIES FOR THE WEEK FIT, LMK. (Yes, I am aware there are MASSIVE carts that look like cars and accommodate a duo of children. But, wise guy, you try maneuvering one of those suckers in a packed store with eighty pounds of child and groceries.) Ok, end of rant. Have you Hyvee Aisles Online shopped? Because as a mom of two young kids, grocery shopping is like torture. (At this age, if they're not in the cart-- they're touching things, roaming and even running away giggling possibly breaking things or getting lost...) While I've been in this location plenty of times (it was my location of choice in college, in fact) I don't frequent the brick and mortar often or by choice anymore. I have a yearly membership to have my groceries delivered on my doorstep as many times a week as I need (just so long as the total of purchases are $30 or more.) Folks, this is a game changer. There have been a few times that my personal shopper has really dropped the ball with OBVIOUSLY rotten cantaloupe or old bacon... or my delivery man has broken a few eggs. But a quick email later-- it is rectified. Whether its new produce dropped off within hours of my complaint, or a gift card apologizing for any inconvenience. BEST. CUSTOMER. SERVICE. EVER. I grocery shop at least once a week, if not twice. I'd gladly pay $1 each time to have it conveniently delivered to my house and avoid the hell that is grocery shopping with kids. Plus, I impulse buy less. Stay on budget more often. Totally utilize sales and fuel saver specials. And I ALWAYS get everything on my list. Because instead of chasing a child and forgetting about the milk, I'm sipping a cup of coffee online shopping with my list in hand. $99 for the entire year. Unlimited deliveries. Aisle Online Shopping is the way to go, and this location does it right. read more

If you have a choice, do not go to this Hy-Vee. I have purchased SO many things there that have been expired and did not realize until I have brought them home. I feel I should not have to check every single product to make sure it is not expired, because I should be able to trust that the store is doing their part. I do not have these problems at other grocery stores. Last night I purchased a frozen pizza that was over a MONTH old read more

Hy Vee is pretty standard Iowa fare but this one really stands out from the rest. Kinda like a Swedish model in Wisconsin... It's just a lot better. This store comes with a much larger selection that includes Whole Food type products as well as Club Room for private events. The only bummer is you can't have booze in the private club room, come on... really? The pizza is solid and their sushi is passable for Iowa standards. read more

I could cry. My best friend works in the hospital and is having a rough day. Which is understandable. Hyvee is sending her flowers , Reece's trees , and a embarrassing obnoxious balloon to make her smile. I have always loved using hyvee floral because if you ask they will literally grab anything off the shelves and send it with flowers. Thank you for making my besties day! read more

I went to there ordered chicken fried rice one with vegetables and one without vegetables Now this was a major discussion for them they really couldn't get it out one person assured me they understood. So I got my food and made a major mistake. I didn't check it before i left. Yes you guessed it both of them had vegetables, so now my kids won't eat it. Moral of the story is don't ask for a special order. No Vegetables, means NO VEGETABLES!!! read more

There was an amazing worker working tonight (10/21/21) at around 11:50PM, unfortunately I didn't get her name but she was so SWEET I will definitely be coming back!! read more

I recently moved to Iowa City from Seattle, and one of the big selling points for Iowa City, no joke, was this store. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with a bunch of food allergies including gluten and cow dairy. I was blown away at their health food section that was full of more allergen-friendly food I could eat than any store in Seattle, or even a few of them combined. Who knew Iowa City is more progressive than Seattle? A full aisle (both sides) of shelf-stable food, a full aisle of refrigerated foods, and a full aisle of frozen foods. And they're all conveniently together so I don't have to search for fresh bread in one section, frozen bread in another part of the store, soy creamer in another part of the store, etc. The only specialty food they don't carry that I "need" is goat yogurt. I recently traveled back to Seattle for a visit and forgot how hard it was to find allergen-friendly food there. I was seriously missing my Waterfront Hy-Vee! Update: The Market Grille has tons of allergy and gluten free options, too! The pharmacy is also amazing. I called in my refill since I was going to be out of town, and went to pick it up the night before to be told that it was out of stock. They called around and found a nearby location that had it, drove to pick it up and bring it back to their location that night so I didn't have to cancel my plans (trivia night in the Market Grille) and drive around. It was 100% offered by them and I didn't even ask them to help me out (it was my fault I waited until last minute to refill it), but they went above and beyond. read more

Seriously . . . I am starting to LOVE the Hy-Vee Cafe. It might be the only satisfying and well-priced place to eat breakfast in Iowa City. You can get eggs, toast, bacon, and amazing hashed browns for like $5.50, and it is fast and the servers are nice and efficient. Why would I go to IHOP or ESPECIALLY the Hamburg Inn when I can go to the Hy-Vee cafe for the same food and an all-around less irritating experience?? Also. In the summer, when they have the BBQ from St. Louis on the weekends--pulled pork, etc--it is AWESOME. Better than either of the BBQ places in town. And when the have the Hy-Vee cookout in the summer? Best thing ever. Once, right when I moved to Iowa City, they had a customer appreciation cookout and gave everyone a free hot dog, chips, and soda. I remember wanting to hug the people it was so genuinely kind. I love my Waterfront Hy-Vee. (and the one in Coralville is NOT better). read more

Hyvee recently opened their Market Cafe at this location. Food quality and variety is very good, and the have a corporate sit down menu as well. Great stop for a decent low cost meal! Service was a bit slow, but they seem to be going through first opening jitters. If you are in a hurry through IC, much better option than the very limited options in this part of the backroads. read more

Nothing spectacular or especially bad about this place. . Big box stores aren't the best for people with social anxiety, I try to keep that in mind while rating and reviewing. Most workers still seem to follow the old 'a smile in every aisle ' mantra, and this particular Hyvee never seems to be out of stock on anything I want to buy. Prices are mid-range, produce seems expensive to me. read more

4 months ago I would have given Hy-Vee a 5 star review. However, their new "cafe" is a disaster. It takes away everything that was good about eating at Hy-Vee. read more

My wife and I wanted to grab something quick for lunch and ended up at Hy-Vee. The selection was great and the food was good and inexpensive. The both of us ate lunch for less than $15 and had enough food to take some to go. This is one of the nicest Hy-Vee's around. It is a newer building that has been very well maintained. The staff is always very very friendly and helpful. Can definitely tell that this company is employee owned! read more

Your surfing the web for great shopping area and come across Hy-vee and you think to yourself what kind of deal will I be getting there? Shopping is best done at Hy-vee, and that's a fact. The price here is very reasonable. The food is a moderate for everyday people to afford. For example the veggie price range from $2 to $20, depending on what vegetable and the amount bought. This is a benefit because with affordable food, you will be able to spend on other things. Also, feeding a big family isn't as expansive. The Customer service here is also great. The staff here is always friendly and always give a helping hand. This is important for a good business, because friendly people are easier to get along with. That is a lot of help because the more you understand each other the easier to communicate so you get the help you need. That would also concluded that the business cares about you. Although, the staff have a lot to do and so are very busy. The checkout line are very long and the customer service is not always available and ready to help. This is true because Hy Vee is a big business but right after helping another customer be sure that you will be next. If you are grocery shopping or just looking for something to buy, Hy Vee is your place. read more

Fresh food, huge selection, crazy deals! Unlimited bloody marys and mimosas on sundays for 9 bucks! Service is great when you sit at the bar (James and Jacob are wonderful). They have the sunday ticket and good food specials during games. I never thought I'd be a hyvee regular or even drink at hyvee but this place is great! read more

I was returning cans the other night and met your employee Nicholas. What a neat kid! We talked and laughed while I was there and he even helped unstick a machine. He's a great guy! Definitely a friendly guy like HyVee says, "a helpful smile in every aisle". High five Nick! read more

I always go to HyVee of course and never have a bad experience. I almost didn't even do a review because hey, doesn't everyone love HYVEE anyway? I mean..kind of a mute point but...yeah, HyVee is the best. They have everything I need and the people are nice - always nice. What is not to like about HyVee? read more

They've got a wide selection of groceries and a decent eatery to sit down at. This is a good place to buy groceries if you don't want to support Wal Mart and you want to spend a bit more money, I guess. read more

One of the best burgers in town by far. Everything was fresh and they had a lot of variety on their menu. Service was a little too overbearing though. Great craft beer on tap too. read more

in my view, better than the one in Coralville. cozier, has wine/spirits, food, and gas. the recycling center here is crazy the day after a Hawkeyes home game though. read more

I really like this Grocery store and this Hyvee in particular. I never have to wait for a long time to check out. Which is a big thing for me. Always plenty of help on the floor if I need to ask where something is. Friendly Workers. Good weekly ads!!! I lived in California for a long time and my local safeway was pretty bad soo im happy to have great solid grocery store to go too! read more

Very nice customer service, good stock in groceries, great cheese and wines selection. For a relatively small grocery store, it has quite a selection and a good atmosphere. You can dine out here too and the service is pretty nice. read more
