"Quite some time ago (I think not too much longer after Marcos opened) I stopped into Marcos to pick up an order. That night it was an absolute mess. People were backed up over an an hour waiting on their pizza. Customers were becoming rude with staff, very rude, and it just was not a good night for Marcos. Grown adults were complaining at the young staff just trying to figure out what to do. When I say they were struggling that night, they were struggling. Pizza was ok. Fast forward, a few weeks after that I received a hand written card from the business owner. Hand written! In that card was an apology for the debacle that night with a coupon for free cheesy bread, and an ask to give them another shot. I would have regardless, but this letter always stuck with me to support their efforts. Since, Marcos has been at the top of my list for the area. It?s always fresh whether delivered or pick up. I?ve ordered from here now on multiple occasions. Last night they said my order would be done in 18 minutes, and they handed it over to me exactly on the dot 18 minutes after I hung up the phone with my order. The gentleman that answered the phone was super pleasant and the younger gal that handed me my pizza was also very pleasant and thought it deserves a review. Great staff, great pizza. Pictured ha is a cheese (asked for well done) and the Deluxe with cheese bread."

"This review is long overdue but well deserved. A few things to note: I've visited Des Moines twice since this review and during those two visits I've visited this Hyvee Market Grille three times. Thats how much I enjoy dining here! I think grocery store restaurants are the best because their ingredients are fresh. They are not like restaurants where they only have limited ingredients on hand. Breakfast: Their full breakfast menu is available until 11am but their limited breakfast menu is available all day! My boyfriend wanted to order a skillet dish and asked if the breakfast potatoes could be substituted with hash browns and they were able to accommodate this request! I tried their chicken fried chicken and the chicken meat was so moist. I am not a fan of white meat chicken because it is usually dry but this Hyvee Market Grille knows how to do chicken right! Lunch: On New Years day they were offering a buffet for $17.99/person. I'm not sure if they have this available everyday or just on new years but there were many options. I would have tried it if I was more hungry. Instead I got the lunch portion of the blackened shrimp tacos. They came with chips and salsa and everything was delicious. The lunch portion (2 tacos instead of 3 tacos) definitely filled me up so I'm glad they offered this portion size. We also ordered a side of tater tots off their Wahlburgers menu. I love Wahlburgers and so happy they offer that food here too! The servers here are all wonderful, from the host, to the waiter, to the manager to the people delivering the food, refilling our drinks, and clearing our table. A special shout out to Michael, Zoey and the manager John. There was also an older lady that waited on us during our very first visit. I don't remember her name but she was one of the reasons for our subsequent returns. Her service and everyone else's service is top notch. We don't even live anywhere close to this Hyvee but we keep returning to it because of the staff, great tasting food, cleanliness and overall ambiance."
