This review has an interesting twist. I appreciate the fair food available in the parking lot of Hy-Vee on some Saturdays. Initially, I had planned to eat there on Friday night, but after a long journey from Eagan to Elma, Iowa, and a shopping trip in southern Rochester, I found my way back to Rochester the next day to sample the good fair food. As a Hy-Vee shopper, I hadn’t visited this place when I lived in Rochester since I was based in the north part of the city. This location is near where the first Panera Bread was established before it relocated closer to Trader Joe's.
I heard about the food fair through a Facebook post about food trucks, and I was immediately intrigued—especially by...
I visited the restaurant on a Wednesday and chose the daily special called the Ranch Turkey Melt. However, to my surprise, I was served a Quesadilla with ranch sauce on the side instead. Out of curiosity, I looked up Ranch Turkey Melt online and discovered that all the results linked to sandwiches, including references from Tyson and Land-o-Lakes. The hostess who took my order was very apologetic, but when she went to talk to the manager about the issue, they refused to make any changes, insisting that what I received was, in fact, a Quesadilla. Unfortunately, the hostess was called away before she could further address my concerns.
I'm placing this Hy-Vee Grocery Store at the bottom of my list. I deliver for DoorDash, and since I started in March, I quickly blacklisted this location due to ridiculously long wait times for orders—some even over an hour. Seven months later, nothing has improved. In fact, it's gotten so bad that orders have been canceled. This is unprofessional and careless. There are three other Hy-Vee stores in the city, and none have this issue.
Extremely friendly people here. BTW, best kept secret in Rochester must be the MEAT COUNTER AND SUSHI BAR AREA. The Meat Counter has exceptionally interesting creations of ready to grill beef, chicken and other meats. Beautifully arranged and very tempting display. Check it out. There was a guy there who was very proud of his work and contributions to the excellent offerings. Just go look at it and be prepared to be amazed.

I am not used to Hyvee so it was a new experience to shop here. It seems to be a nicely stocked store with a good selection of fresh, frozen etc. The worker in the meat department helped me find the chicken breast I needed. Produce worker was very nice and friendly and pointed out the fresh ginger I was looking for. The store seemed clean and well-maintained and adequately staffed.
Hy-Vee has consistently been a fantastic place to shop. They offer a wide variety of options, and multiple employees regularly check in to see if you need any assistance. There’s truly no other grocery store I’d rather spend my time and money at.
Parking is usually easy to find here before the work rush, and the store was quite empty. I found everything I needed without any problems, and the cashier was very helpful with my questions.
The restaurant was only half full, and they forgot to bring me my silverware, but the food was consistently delicious.

The restaurant is clean and offers a great selection of high-quality products, with friendly and attentive staff.
The waiter forgot to bring an entire pizza and also mixed up the sandwich order.
