This is my "home" Hy Vee. You can find some colorful people here. Sometimes they're even salty and…read morehard, like one of those sourdough tooth crackers that Snyder's makes. I'm going to guess they can make for tough customers. It's a pretty clean store and like all Hy Vees it's well stocked. They sell Don Javier's chips from Silvis, IL or somewhere over there by the Quad Cities. They're expensive, but they're the closest thing to the chips in a Mexican restaurant you can find. But I digress. The meat counter is good, there's no blood on floor on the customer side of the counter. The bakery same. Restaurant area ditto. I like Hy Vee's deli/restaurant but... man, the Chinese or "Hy-Chi" can be sketchy. It's not the employees' fault I'm sure. It's whatever recipes they use. Then again, it just might be Chinese food generally and it may be personal. The liquor store is great. You want booze, you got booze. This keeps the hard pretzel people I mentioned earlier happy. The staff is top notch. There's a really friendly woman who works here that is from Bosnia. She's got a clipped accent and based on what I saw I think she knows her regulars. I think working here probably requires a thick skin because you've got a mix of the Kirkwood students, the NewBo neighborhood (I assume - because that Hy Vee just north of down town - shuddering - it's a lil rough), and the pretzelish people mentioned above. Almost every time I got here I'm with my love which means I'm going to ask her loud enough for the cashier to hear what her name is today. Or whether she is using the credit card we found on the street the other day. Or if she can sign for the pseudo this time because I'm at my limit this time. Or "hurry up - I can see a cop and the Judge warned us what would happen if we broke the restraining order". Or the always reliable, "please don't hit me when we get out to the car - I'll be good". Granted sometimes the staff is dumbstruck, but most of the time they just smile and/or laugh and enjoy the drama. This is a good place to shop. Tell them Dick sent you.

The only reason I didn't give them a 5 is some of their prices are a little high at times and the wine and spirits is not as good as other Hy-Vees. For convenience and availability of items I really like going here.

Super convenient location for me and despite being a smaller store I could likely find everything I need here (food-wise). Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss was on sale at $6.99/6-pack so that was a sale not to be passed up. I didn't give the store 5 stars because I wish it'd get a remodel already. The store is dark and dingy to me and the aisles are narrow. Remember IGA stores? This is eerily similar.

They have a large beer cooler where you can grab beers pre-chilled, as well as a wide selection of beer and liquor throughout the store. The staff also seems willing to offer suggestions if you're not sure what you want, or if you're looking for something specific. Really looking forward to more trips here when in Cedar Rapids.

I had a little time to wander the aisles, and there's a lot of good stuff going on. The highlights: labels to find celebrity-owned brands, great gift ideas in stock, tons of mixers and accessories. The place was super clean, smelled nice, and the folks working were super friendly. They were quite happy to look up a wine and try to get it in stock, as well. Whatever negative perceptions of a liquor store you might have, this place defies them. I'll be stopping by more often.

I was also searching for some supplements for my mom, but lets not kid ourselves, I was there for the malted milk balls. The health hut still has a fabulous selection of vitamins, supplements, and hard to find health foods. The parking lot in the back is very convenient, since the store is right on 1st Ave and there isn't really any parking in front. However, the parking lot appears to be a hangout for the locals. It's not exactly Cabrini Green, but I wouldn't walk around here alone after dark (or after noon, actually). The staff is always very helpful, they seem to really know what they're talking about and care about their customers. They aren't just there to sell you something.
