“I stopped by the corporate office not knowing that it was not an actual location where one could purchase a drink. I was greeted when I walked in by the owner and a couple of staff members, including Enzo, the owner’s sweet dog. I asked if I was able to order a drink there and they explained that it was Hyper’s offices, but they were very accommodating. They could’ve easily sent me on my way to one of their locations, but I ended up leaving with a business card to connect later to see how my workplace can partner with Hyper. Thank you!!!”

“Good place in Ankeny to meet for breakfast. I've turned others onto the breakfast egg rolls. My brother-in-law is hooked. If you want something on the lighter side try the Thai fried rice with egg n veggies. Ask for extra sauce on the side. Dad had the steak n egg n cleaned his plate. The breakfast burrito are ginormous. Enjoy the Des Moines based chain. There's something for everyone”

“Hands down one of my favorite food places in central Iowa. Always fresh, hot and so good. You also cannot beat the price when eating out. Every time we have out of state company we take them here and every time they are shocked to find an amazing Hawaiian grill in central Iowa.”
