  I enjoyed a very good supper at the market cafe. The staff did a great job serving my meal this evening! We had a hamburger special, and it was done to my request! I also like very much that they serve Coke products!

  One employee was helping me while the cook was very obviously in a foul mood. She refused to answer the questions the employee asked. I had ordered pulled pork sliders and she allowed the employee to prepare the buns and only then told her they had no pulled pork. The cook then disappeared behind doors with two other employees leaving this one to struggle alone trying to make a burger and also help me. I asked for a side of steamed vegetables. I have a soy allergy that results in anaphylaxis. I explained I stop breathing and needed to know what kind of oil was used if any. The cook was very irritated with the question and said she steamed them and did not put any oil on them. I took them to go. I got back in the car to eat and they were covered in oil. I was very hungry and tried one hoping the oil was not vegetable oil which contains soybean oil. My airway started to swell so I stopped immediately and took a Benadryl and also had my epi-pens close by.
  DO NOT trust them to give you honest or helpful information if you have an allergy.
  Also the crew does not work well together and the hostility is there is palpable.
  This is not up to the standards of a Hy-Vee and in my opinion, they need a strong manager to come in there and "clean house"

  Oof this was a tough one to swallow. We decided to come here to the Sunday Brunch Buffet, off of the great experiences we used to have here, but those days are gone. The days of shrimp cocktail, made to order omelet station, great desserts, and your choice of all the hot case food that you wanted are just a speck in the rear view mirror. Sure they lowered the price, but we didn't come for the price, we came came for the awesome food and wonderful service. We happily paid the $17 (or whatever it was). Now? It's not worth the $9.95, not even close. Everyone loves bacon right? Right. But they are making it like one package at a time. We're all waiting around for more bacon to be brought out and then they bring out this undercooked nonsense. That pig died in vein to be treated like as such.
  
  They get two stars only because the workers were very pleasant and apologetic about the changes. Pull it together Hy-Vee Corporate.

  We have eaten here 3 times and never had a bad meal. Waitresses are always attentive and food is always as ordered hot and very good. Drinks are very good also.

  I don't know if we arrived at a strange time, or they were learning a new menu, but the food was not something that I would come back for. My wife ordered the lunch burger and it was seriously 1/8 lb. It was comical. $9 for that and a small portion of fries. I'll post a pic of it as soon as she sends it to me because it was hilariously sitting there, looking like  the Mugsy Bouges of burgers atop Shaq's giant bun.
  
  I had the Blackened Shrimp taco. It was cold, and not blackened, or flavorful.
  
  I will say that our kids meals were very substantial, for kids meals. I was like, whoa, that's 3x as much food that the adults have for nearly half the price?! Ok. We'll order of the kids menu next time!
