While this HyVee is currently under construction (they are almost done... finally!), and the parking/entrance is a little wonky, this place is still pretty convenient. I'm glad to see they have added a bulk food section... however, they do not have the ability to tare glass containers so if you are trying to minimize waste and use reusables, you either have to bring bags that are lightweight or just have to use what they have there. I really wish they would figure out a way to accommodate this, as it's often hard to put spices/powdered goods into cloth bags. We do generally prefer Fareway for our beef and chicken... for whatever reason we've had some chewy chicken from HyVee. But HyVee has a much better selection when it comes to organic and "health" food than Fareway does. A random/funny note: One of our cashiers (college-aged) once had to ask us what a head of garlic was. She said she doesn't really eat vegetables so she doesn't know what they all are when they don't have stickers... ;) Oh, they always have the sweetest ladies cooking/giving out samples of food. It's always so good and they are very fun to chat with about cooking/food. read more

You can't shop anywhere but Hy-Vee when you travel north. This always has friendly staff and I usually walk out of here with some item whether it's a plant or snacks. Store is always clean. read more

i am a consistent customer at this locatio. let me just say Lauren is the absolute worst. very rude doesn't know where anything in the store is and tbh completely useles. and don't get me started on Donny g. his ordering has got bottom tier. there is never any of the yogurt that I want when I go there. Kristine is a dike piece of shit I hope to never see her again. she never has my screaming scicllon bacon pizza terrible management. also the amount of health and safety violations I have seen at this location is horrible. mold on the shelfs, milk doors stink, cottage cheese outdated, eggs disgusting. and poor hygiene from the employees. I would also recommend drug testing Lucas I have a long history of drug abuse and I can tell he is one something. thank you guys for reading my review please take some action -Love Greg read more

This is probably one of my least-favorite Hy-Vees in the area. They are working on updating the interior and whatnot, though, but that's part of the problem. During the construction, they've taken out around 5 of the check-out lanes. I waited over 10 minutes to check out a few items. It was bad enough that the lines for check-out were going into the actual shopping aisles and preventing people from getting through to do shopping. They had all available lanes open, so I understand that they were trying, but at the same time, maybe they shouldn't have removed quite so many of the lanes at once for upgrading. It was mid-day on a Friday, so I can't imagine what the afternoon or evening rush looked like. Some of the selection is lacking as well. Their Health Foods section is smaller than many Hy-Vees. They didn't have the ice cream or coffee syrup I normally pick up at a Hy-Vee. When I came in for a mini cake or a cake pop, I found out that the bakery doesn't make either. Right now, with their renovations, a lot of the store is covered in plastic boards or things are missplaced. Gotta give them credit for staying open while trying to upgrade their building, though. The old Hy-Vee was definitely showing its wear. Cashier was friendly enough. Customers seem to leave a lot of messes in this Hy-Vee, though. I see opened and half-eaten packages of food on the shelves pretty regularly when I come in. I know that's not the store's fault, but it's just another addition that makes it a less-desirable Hy-Vee than some of the others. On the bright side, they ARE adding a Starbucks into this location with the renovation, so be prepared for delicious coffee. (On a secondary side note, this Hy-Vee is right next to a Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Staples, Petco, and a Barnes and Noble so you can get a lot of shopping done at once. I'm hoping to update this review in the future when the location is finished with renovations and is super-awesome, but honestly, I'm not expecting that to happen. Here's to hoping, though! read more

Hy-Vee - Long lines - Grocery Near Me - Waterloo, Iowa

My Hy-Vee is gone. We usually have to make another stop at Fareway to complete what we need. Hy-Vee is out of everything I need. So I thought I would try online shopping...nope. So disappointed. But I did order, and the order has been delayed. Wanted the potatoes for supper, oh well. The weather is forecasted to be snowy. Trying to be nice and understanding, but seriously? NO snow and the streets are fine. read more

I think the store looks amazing! The verity is amazing! Unfortunately most products I want to buy are expired or damaged. I have spent quite a bit of money on expired items. I actually returned the last few items just to make a point. read more

Since leaving eastern Iowa, I have yet to find a comparable grocery chain who provides the level of service that Hy-Vee does. I mean, all-around service, from having clean floors, a well-kept produce section, friendly workers, dedicated lifer-types, a helpful pharacist, a great financial, delicious prepared foods and an overriding sense of community. I know allthat sounds over the top for a grocery store, but I tell you - this Hy-Vee is one of the prime examples of what great customer service really is. It was instrumental in teaching me customer service, the tenants of which I still use today. Special note: I worked at this Hy-Vee for about 3 years in high school, under Marv's strict tutelage. That guy made me cry in the safe room once. when my register was off by a few dollars. He was one of the best managers I ever had - didn't take any guff, expected you to do your job and do it well, and most importantly, he really, seriously held up Hy-Vee's main staple, which was customer service. Thank you, Marv. read more

The wine and spirts section is great and multiple tastings Going on. A few times by offering this we bought something we didn't plan on. Also the store is very clean and the employees are great! The only thing that took the review down was the Chinese food wasn't fresh both times we went. Don't think we will try it again for a while read more

I talked to the cheese department over 90 days ago asking if they carried a certain English cheese that my husband misses from the UK. They took down my information, the head cheese guy called me three weeks later telling me that he was trying to find it but hadn't given up yet. He called me again this week to let me know they got some! I can't believe the level of service, great job cheese people! read more

Good vegan choices! Recently moving to the area, I was worried about finding my favorite vegan products. I had never been to a Hyvee before but was told to go by a colleague. I am very happy with what I have found so far. The prices are good too. The icecream was cheaper than at Target. I think it will become my new grocery store of choice. read more

Big clean well organized supermarket with cheerful clerks. There are several tables in a front corner of the store, where we ate the lunch we'd just bought, which was really convenient. As customers left, the tables were cleaned promptly (and well). read more

Great organics, produce,and selection of fresh meat (butcher block) clean, and the customer service is top notice.

Clean store, good restaurant, quality selection, and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Service counters such as the Deli and Butcher consistently provide quality products and preparation tips. Like many Hy-Vee stores, this one stands above its competitors. read more
