Saw so many positive reviews stating this was celiac-safe, good for those with gluten issues, and delicious---but when we went, the very first thing was saw was someone patting down flour tortillas on the line preparing someone else's food, and they went straight in with the same gloved hands into the cheese and other ingredients, contaminating everything (tho it was surely already well-compromised before we saw it). We had no choice but to drop out of line waiting to order and find another place to eat. A real shame--we were so ready to have something delicious and safely gluten-free after an hours-long drive in all the bad winter weather with this place in mind for dinner. :(
This particular Hy-Vee is a vegan wonderland! It has a full freezer aisle and full refrigerator aisle of plant-based products, including a number of items I've never even seen before, and lots of items you can't get elsewhere in the area. There's also the health market which is several aisles as well. Lots of gluten-free optioms too, if you need that. Apart from that, the store is just really nice, clean, and big, with everything you need and then some. They even have non-grocery items, like kitchen stuff, toys and games, etc.
The cashier was very knowledgeable about gluten free fryer use. Fries were great! Wished the tables were clean. Suggest keeping sanitizing wipes available for customers to use to wipe down table if desired.
Went for lunch and had a nice flavorful meal. I can only eat Gluten-Free and the waitress was so helpful. Great service and food... Manager even checked on us, made sure I felt taken care of. What a nice experience!
Delicious, guilt free meal options! So many extra activities to meet others and have fun (BINGO, Painting, pie making, etc). Kelly is great! Go if you haven’t been - you won’t regret it!
Gluten Free options too!
