If I could give zero stars I would. I have always loved the selection at HyVee and have been a frequent shopper for years both personally and professionally using HyVee for my job. However, HyVee Catering should not even be able to call themselves a catering business. HyVee Catered my wedding rehearsal dinner with a taco bar and did not bring the shells or chips, leaving us to scramble and buy random bags of chips at a gas station. They also were supposed to make an orange and blue cookie cake but instead changed the colors to blue and yellow without approval. Then fast forward to our wedding day, HyVee Catering did our wedding cake. We ordered a small 2 tier RED VELVET cake. To our surprise when we cut into it was vanilla with raspberry filling - my fiancé hates raspberries. So thank you HyVee for completely failing - you have lost a biweekly customer for life and will I will not be shopping at your store for life as well as you lost respect from our guests.
This place is an absolute joke. The only reason we go is to play trivia because no other place in town hosts on Sundays nights. The "service" is always a disaster, the ever rotating collection of newly 21-year-old bartenders don't even know how to pour a beer let alone make a drink, and don't expect to get charged for the right item either! Watch out for specials on canned or bottled beers too because most of the time they are expired. As far as the food goes, you might as well just buy stuff from the store and bring it in to eat because if you order food from Wahlburgers its likely to either not arrive, arrive and be the wrong thing, or take 45 minutes and then give you food poisoning, no joke. I ate there on 4/7/24 and 3 hours later was in the bathroom with horrible nausea, stomach pain, weakness, and chills until I was able to expel my meal. The sad thing is that all I ate was a veggie burger and fries, so there must be some serious mishandling of food happening. After seeing the state of the bathrooms there, I wouldn't be surprised if the staff doesn't know the proper way to wash their hands. To top it all off, this place is not cheap. For two people to eat and have a couple drinks the bill was $67! The one positive thing I have to say is that we love the trivia host here, it's the only reason we go back.

This store displaced our nice specialty grocery stores when it came to town ,when it opened it had great selection and service. since it opened a couple years ago it has gone down hill incredibly. now it is just like any other grocery store and our town is worse off because of it. a huge shame
What happened to this place... does the owner even read the comments, it's your franchise Wahlberg & apparently you've made enough that it's reach oh well status. Guess I'll eat the samples at Sam's ?

The best time to come is for an early dinner. They get crowded later on in the evening. I have not been in during lunch time. The food is excellent.

I spent 5-10 minutes loitering in the lobby and walking around trying to get served. They had a sign on the kiosk saying to find the bartender, who was nowhere to be found. This was at 7:30. The whole place was empty because the staff obviously and willfully was avoiding customers because they didn't want to do their job. If I was corporate at Wahlburgers I would take this very seriously. You need to clean house top to botton or that business is DOA.
Friendly staff place was clean. I spent almost $20 on a double with tater tots. I asked for no bun but got bread. The burger and tots were luke warm. It took over a half hour to get my food after I sat down. Then it tasted like it sat on a counter for fifteen minutes. Not worth it, which is disservice since this location is in our favorite grocery store

Burnt food, milkshakes that were more like milk, food that came out wrong, took forever to be corrected, no silverware given, just not a pleasant experience.

I recently went to the Hy-Vee bakery looking for a cake for my sons birthday. As I was looking through the cake selection book I happened to look over and up behind the bakery counter and I saw the most fantastic cheeseburger cake. I spoke with Monika, and found out that it was a specialty cake that she had just added to display. I asked if it was possible to customize it as my son eats plain hamburgers and would find the humor in that and Monika was very accommodating. The cake turned out so amazing. Monika is so creative and the cake turned out so good. A big THANK YOU to Monika for being just so nice and accommodating but also a fantastic creator of beautiful tasty cakes!

We had a group of 4 visiting for lunch and stopped in at 1:30 in the afternoon. While there were 5+ staff working, not a single person helped us or advised us that the "restaurant" isn't actually a restaurant and more of a cafeteria with self service. No one greeted us and every employee was seated at a table, not tending to the one other table of customers. After sitting without any service or help, we got up and walked out. Nobody seemed to care that they were losing business right in front of their eyes.So, unfortunately, we didn't get to try the food, but I'm not even sure this establishment really wants business based on our interaction today. Do yourself a favor and don't bother eating at Walburgers!

Went in at approx. 11:40am on 11/22/23. There was no table service because the ONLY employee was on their lunch break. We were one of 2 tables in the restaurant that had someone eating at the time, but it still took over 20 min to get our food. Once it was served, one of our orders were wrong. Took another 15 minutes to get it corrected. Nothing was offered for the incorrect order.The food was great. Got the PB&J burger with a side of onion straws and WOW was it great. My wife enjoyed her bacon cheeseburger too.It's a shame that no one was working and there was no table service, otherwise we'd probably have ordered a drink or milkshake after our meal.
