“Food was top-tier, especially for a fast casual place. Everything was cooked to perfection and very well seasoned/flavorful. The place was spotless and service excellent. Definitely deserve people’s business!”

“The food here is absolutely fabulous.! My family loves it! We at least get it to go once a week! Their saucine on the side of pasta is divine! I love it! Everything here is amazing love this place!”

“First time at this chain and was definitely impressed with the pasta. We did have to ask for more sauce as it came out much dryer than we prefer and they took their time getting us the extra sauce. There was also a very long wait to get seated for just 3 people as they didn't have enough staff. Would still prefer here over OG.”

“this is the most authentic mexican food my husband and i have had since coming here to cedar rapids , iowa from san diego, california . we love this place . 10 stars from us . you wont leave hungry .”

“I recently dined here while staying at the attached hotel for business. I was impressed. The meal I had was absolutely delicious. From the honey butter with warm bread to the wonderful butternut squash dish, ending with carrot cake to go. The presentation was done fabulously.But what really stood out was the atmosphere of the restaurant. The cozy yet upscale decor with a western theme. Loved it. From walking in the door to finalizing the bill the service was perfect. I truly enjoyed my meal and overall dining experience.This is a must visit restaurant for delicious food and a lovely atmosphere.”

“Sat at the bar for 10 plus minutes to place a to go order and I had to ask for a menu. When they see it's just 1 person and I don't believe in taking up a table for a family I sit at the bar. My steak was good and so was my broccoli but the loaded potato wasn't.”

“Ophelia's hosted my Navy Reunion group for lunch. All I heard from all 20 who ate was that the food and service was amazing. They also, through no fault of their own, had another tour bus at the same time and they handled it with ease. Highly recommended for individual or groups. Thank you!!

“Wow! These are excellent. We phoned in an order and picked up the order at the Independence location. We had the Thai Chicken Basil and the Brookside Brie. Both were excellent. So much better than going to the big chain pizza chains!”

“The staff was very friendly and helpful as today was the first time I had stopped at this location. Both my toffee Carmel shake and the puker up tea is delicious!”

“We had the pleasure of catering our wedding with Yings Thai. We were blown away by Tomas and the absolutely delectable food! Tomas had excellent communication and went over the top to make sure our day was special. He helped us plan the menu and we couldn’t have been happier. The wedding guests all raved about the food throughout the night. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon were the absolute bomb. The Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and stir fry stole the show! We loved how our guests could start with a mild version and increase the heat as they saw fit. Tomas was so thoughtful and posted all the possible allergy concerns and made sure peanuts were on the side for those with an allergy. Tomas and Yings Thai made our night special and for that we are incredibly grateful!”

“Nice local non-corporate establishment, Kimmy is absolutely amazing bartender, she's basically the only one I will give up one or two of my drinking days every week, if you come here, just call and make sure she's working first, she's an excellent bartender that knows how to actually take of people10/10 stars, definitely recommend this wonderful lady to anyone”

“Let me start you off with this review. The food was awesome! The breading on the chicken could use some seasoning, and the waffle fry portion could be a little bigger. But the chicken was cooked nicely, the sauces were fantastic, and the waffle fries were great! Would order again!”

“Service is great and we got our food really quick. It was a fun night I watched my sons sit there and play I spy with all the interesting iguana scenes on the walls!”

“We went in at about 2pm the burgers were delicious, fresh and juicy! Sides were all great! My side solid was crisp and fresh! I highly recommend this location! They may be short staffed but those that are there are doing a great job!”

“Always a great time here. Food is exceptional as well as the entertainment.Kid-friendliness: Kid portion is really about the same as regular. Kid is 10 and under.”

“It was very clean and friendly staff ... Games and rides were all working ... Price was reasonable when you factor in the costs of other things to help entertain toddlers and kids ... Went when it opened on a weekday during the school year and was not busy at all”

“We visited three different stores between yesterday and today and this Hyvee was the ONLY one with the PRETTIEST PERFECT ROSEBUDS AND BABY BREATH bouquets EVER! My bf was able to make my Valentine's Day early!”

“This was one of the best Hy-Vee I've ever shopped at! The fruit and vegetables we fresh, the shelves was stocked. It was a holiday week, and they were very busy, but every single employee was friendly.”
