One time I got bacon from the meat counter here. I asked the young man "how many strips of bacon is in half a pound?" He said "I don't know let's find out together." He grabbed a hunk-o-bacon and put it on the scale. Then he said "Aw, wow, there's hella bacon up in that half pound." Now every time my husband and I plan to buy bacon, we say that we need "hella bacon"All thanks to mystery man at Hy-Vee meat counter. Other than the bacon shenanigans at the meat counter, I also think it's very nice that the ladies at the registers don't judge me when I go in every single morning for one blueberry muffin and a single can of energy drink... when a normal person would just buy a package of muffins and a 6 pack of beverages so they don't have to go to the grocery store daily... we've all got our weird idiosyncrasies and I'm glad to not be judged by the helpful smiles at Hy-Vee Oskaloosa for mine.

I understand regular business hours but if someone calls when they are driving for 40 minutes and mention that they'll be 5 minutes late... You would think they would be compassionate enough to wait for you. I was even planning on a $20 tip because my friend needed the medication that bad. I arrived at 3 minutes after close and it was a ghost town. I'm sure it's a decent pharmacy but it was just a bad experience for us.... My friend ended up dying. (That last statement was added for dramatic effect and didn't happen.)

I can't believe what I witnessed at this Hy-vee location. I stopped here to pick up t-bones and twice baked potatoes for my brother-in-law's birthday. I am appalled at the 2 young gentlemen working the meat counter. First of all, the large, short kid with a long curly mullet, put his hand in his pants before proceeding to package the previous customers meat. As I was walking away, disgusted, I observed another kid with long hair and a beard putting ribeyes in his backpack, there was also smoke coming from his mouth. Hy-vee please reevaluate your employees. Disgusting! I took my business to Fareway.

The manager Ramsey here is amazing. I live in California and wanted to send doughnuts the the Mahaska County Jail to show them that they are appreciated during National Correctional Officer Week. Not only did he take the time to take the order, he arranged to have them delivered the next morning to the officers. Hats off to the lady working in the bakery department. (I wish I got her name.) Even though she was under staffed and working alone, she still got them delivered. The fact that Hy-Vee has the customer service to take an order from across the country and care enough to hand deliver it speaks the world of how America should be. Thank you Ramsey and the entire team at Hy-Vee. You've all got a fan out here in California. If I ever get the opportunity to come out there, I will be stopping by to shake your hand. P.S. I am told the doughnuts are amazing.

Nobody ever around in this store to help out when you need it. I took my business to Des Moines to shop.

Went here on several occasions to eat lunch and to shop or see the pharmacy. Great value, friendly staff. I also purchased takeaway meals, chicken and salad on several occasions. A good option to fried foods.

My siblings, two sisters and one brother, and our aged mother decided to breakfast at HyVee instead of the tired Riverside II. I ordered the 'Smothered Hash Browns,' and three others, two eggs fried or scrambled, sausage or bacon, and toast; my third sister had two fried eggs and hash browns. My order came first, after we were told 'It will be a while,' but the wait was reasonable. My hash browns were smothered in green pepper, onion, shredded cheese, and mushrooms, with a small bowl of delicious gravy to make them divinely carbolicious. My mother, a foodie and former home economist, tried to find out the type of toast bread because it was sliced thick and very good, she said. The sausages were also tasty, and the coffee was excellent. The cafe is brightly lit and the servers, who bring out hot plates of food and call the eater's name each time, were attentive--my mother did not know she was to order either bacon or sausage. My family devoured their meals and then fell to doing crossword puzzles--there are newspapers available for perusal.
