Wahlburgers - Cottage Grove

Food is not served fresh and well-done means pink corners and cold centers for burgers. The bartender is friendly but not adept at pouring.

When this was the Hy-vee Cafe it was a very enjoyable experience. Since the Wahlburger takeover it's terrible. The menu is poor, prices are higher, and quality has declined. BUT the kicker was when we arrived Saturday to find that you now place your order at the counter from a very limited menu and get handed your drinks to carry back to the table. We've eaten here ever since it opened but this did me in. We left without ordering anything and we'll never be back unless it changes. If I wanted this type of experience I'd go for fast food. We enjoy sitting down with a menu, deciding what we'd like and enjoying the time out. Hy-vee please wake up. You're a local, employee owned company. Why are you catering to these east coasters?

If i could 0 zero stars i would. Ordered burgers, 6 out of the 7 burgers were ordered well done and the 7th was ordered medium well. The 6 came pink or red in the middle one was still oozing red. The one that was actually ordered medium came out charred. Was not impressed at all. Definately a place we will ever go back to again. Very disappointing.

This place just keeps getting worse and worse. Our last time coming here. Arrived Saturday morning placed our order, was told it would be a little wait for our food because of a function going on. After waiting 45 minutes and seeing that not one table had received their orders we decided that enough was enough. We were offered a cinnamon roll for our wait, but guess what? That too never arrived. We could see what was going on in the kitchen because of their short circuit TV cameras, we laughed watching the cooks running around like a 3 ring circus ????, and getting nothing out to the tables, and it wasn 't that busy. The only nice thing out of the whole ordeal was a visit from Santa!! Yes Santa was there. He asked if I had been good this year, I said not really !! He said, thanks for telling me, you saved me a trip!!????????????

We love coming to Wahlburgers for dinner as a lower cost meal. Kids love the Mac n cheese and mini burgers and of course tater tots. I love the OFD every time and that tomato jam adds the perfect flavor to make it an amazing burger. My hubby is GF and gets his OFD wrapped in lettuce. Also got here before 6 and had half off apps. Bbq wings were big and meaty with home made blue cheese. Yum! Wait staff is helpful getting us boxes and informing of events. Bingo on Wednesday and live music on fridays. We have high standards on unique food in Cottage Grove and this is quality and good for our family of 5.
