We go here for the hot bar. The grocery store has a good selection overall, especially of cheese and organic packaged products but it is very expensive. For that reason we do not buy groceries from here, for that I go to Woodmans, the Willy Street Co-op or the Jenny Street Market. Their hot bar has a wide selection. We often get a bucket of fried and roasted chicken and a few sides. Prices for the hot bar aren't too high either. Mind you, the food is not stellar but for a grocery store hot bar it is fairly high quality. I've gotten bakery a few times as well but I'm always disappointed (it's alright for a grocery store but just isn't that well done overall). Hy-Vee works if you're looking to bring something home for dinner but don't have time to cook.
