Hy-vee Fast Fresh - Altoona

Grounds don't go IN the coffee. Their pizza is consistently old and dried out, breakfast and lunch. I can't imagine how much unsold food is thrown out here. Sure, there's a grocery store, but I would never grocery shop for my children in a gas station. Lots of beer choices, if that's your thing. This whole place just doesn't seem thought-out or well-executed. I personally don't like it. Sometimes, I'm forced to pick up stuff here because of location. If you have a choice, go somewhere else. Go in and look at the pizza sometime.

Really cool store, lots of good food and drink options....If you are COVID conscious be careful... Last time I went in the lady working at the front desk was only wearing a visor and not even correctly as it did not cover her mouth. When she coughed she did not cover her mouth. This happened on Saturday. This morning I've woken up with a sore throat and upset stomach.... So you are running a health risk by shopping inside the store. I'd check to make sure everyone has a mask on before doing business here. I will likely not be returning to this location.

I stopped by for a sandwich and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, which came with a dry bun and two fried chicken strips. I also tried the pizza crunchers, but they were overcooked and just tasted like cheese with no hint of pizza flavor.

This is a great gas station and a perfect spot for a quick lunch while on a road trip. There are numerous food options available, including some fresh choices like sandwiches and fruit, which I prefer over greasy pizza or burgers that can be tough to digest on the road. They also have some seating where we could enjoy our meal with our little one. The only downside is that it’s a bit more expensive than your typical gas station. Overall, though, it was a lovely stop for us.

This is a decent spot for quick bites. If you enjoy $6 hamburgers, this is the place for you! While you may not find a lot of specials, the staff is friendly, and the convenience definitely adds value.
