Reviews for Hy-Vee Market Grille Express in Ankeny, IA
Tastes and looked like a hotel breakfast. Eggs were beyond powdered and cheesy hash browns were flavorless. Sausages and scones... were decent. Really disappointed, it used to be a good buffet. Our waitress looked and acted like she was 12. Don't waste yourmoney on the bloody Marys, it was basically a virgin. Won't be back...ever. Read more
Food is always great, but service is always super slow. If you advertise free kids meals.... 30 minute wait for a Grilled cheese... is a tad too much. Read more
What happened to our easy "go to" spot? Dirty booths, fabric, walls and sticky floors. Waited 5 min with food and no... silverware. We weren't offered the standard dinner rolls. Staff seemed much less on top of service. Manager was in yogapants. Lighting was bright for dinner service. It's just not the same. Crowd was very light for a Saturday night which tellsme we are not the only ones noticing a change. Read more
Food was VERY GOOD. Delicious and beautifully served. Gluten-free buns available for all sandwiches. Prices are all over the... place... some items are a great deal, others are lofty. Service is hit or miss. We had to wait quite awhile for our silverwareafter our food was delivered. But we should have spoken up sooner. Try this place for lunch, if you've never been here. Wewill be back for the FOOD... and will hope for a little better service next time. During March Madness, they have an All YouCan Eat Boneless Wings and Fries Special for $10. They are delicious.

We LOVE this place! Don't be intimidated by paying a few extra dollars a plate, you will not be disappointment. Also don't... disregard it for being in a grocery store- you won't feel like it when you walk in and it is not a grocery store cafe. They havea wide variety on the menu, accompanying many tastes& everything is delicious. So fresh and handmade touches that go above andbeyond and set them apart. Everything is good, staff is awesome (Especially our favorite bartender Jordan B!) keep up theawesome work & give this place a try- you won't be disappointed! Read more
At first, my husband and I were judging ourselves for spending our Friday night dinner out at a grocery store restaurant... That... is until the incredible popover bread came to the table. Melted in our mouth. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was thebest pulled pork I've ever had, which is saying something! Service was prompt and attentive, very Minnesotan :) Great dinner andwe will be back many more times!!! Read more
OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT. We love it! It's our favorite for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We love walking to the store and... sitting outside on the patio. Incredible staff, always friendly. Not sure what we love more -- 1/2 price sushi and wine onWednesday or 1/2 price pizza on Sunday. And when we can't decide what we want, we can get the full buffet inside the grocerystore - a little bit of everything! Fantastic beer and wine selection. Big TVs all around. We meet friends to watch FloridaGator games & it's a blast. Read more
I want to love this place since it?s so convenient. But almost every time we go, the greeters ignore us for a while. A store... manager even vented to an employee while we were standing there while not acknowledging us. We?ve had great servers and we?vehad servers who seem to avoid stopping by. The new Mark Wahlberg design is more than a little ridiculous. I?ll give 3 starssince the food and pricing has been fine. But the experience just hasn?t been good. Read more
