Hy-vee Market Grille - Cedar Rapids

The food was good. There were plenty of available tables. Ordering before entering is a bit of a challenge.

The trend seems to be that nowadays everything has to be spicy. I chose Chinese meatballs as an entree and I had to toss them out. They were so spicy. Either indicate that it is spicy or let people, who want spicy, sprinkle pepper flakes on it, just like if you want extra salt or pepper.

The bone in wings are excellent! The nachos however, are very sub par. I do not recommend the nachos. Had them last night. Very little beef and cheese. Just a bunch of chips basically.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a Monday afternoon and decided to try the blueberry and bacon Gouda cheeseburger. The burger was cooked to perfection, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. The dining area is quite lovely. However, I found it a bit inconvenient that you have to place your order at the counter. There were many people who came in right after me, which made me feel rushed and unable to take my time with the menu. After ordering, you have to find a seat and serve yourself a drink. Despite these drawbacks, the burger is definitely worth a return visit.

We've truly enjoyed our experiences over the years at our local Hy-Vee. Kevin at the Market Grill has played a significant role in our memories here in Cedar Rapids. He is, without a doubt, the best! We love you, Kevin!
