“Great beer and great people!!!”

“I highly recommend this place. I have been looking for a good Mexican restaurant in iowa for the past 4 years. I can say this place is the only place that I will eat at, its authentic, reminds me of home and it fills a void in my soul that I didn't know I had. and to that I say. muchísimas gracias. no soy religiosa pero que dios los bendiga a ustedes y a su familia. que sus almohadas estén frias en la noche y sus bolsillos llenos de dinero.”

“The food here is very good and at a very good price. I am hispanic and I really enjoy their tejana fajitas and the margaritas are great, especially the top shelf margarita. They have a 48oz option for a margarita, and you can take it to go if you don't finish it.”

“A friend and I came here months ago on our way home from Des Moines. The food was amazing! Good portions and the menu seemed to have went on for days. Great selections! Could be a bit more culturally welcoming.”

“I live in SW Iowa but eat here when I visit Altoona The food is delicious and wait staff are quick and friendly. Kinley was our server tonight and she was awesome!”

“I live in Waterloo now and ALWAYS eat at B-Bops when I’m in the Des Moines area. Love the 1/4 bacon cheeseburger! The fries are to die for! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Always the perfect amount of salt. Wish they would expand to our area. Keep it an Iowa only restaurant but bring it up north please!!”

“Food came fast and was delicious 😋! Service was friendly and attentive! Highly recommend!”

“I went here the other day and my gosh their staff is amazing! I had this sweet young girl take my order and you would’ve thought she’d have years of experience in customer service! I asked how long she had worked there and she said a little over a month. However they are training those kids they are doing amazing!”

Website is great for placing orders! Allows you to select the crust, specialized pizzas, updates to reflect Tues special prices, etc.”

“I remember when I was a kid going to this place when it was called Anthony’s. Hawk Haven with the awesome leadership, great staff, and an awesome environment have far surpassed the expectations of anything that’s been there prior. With it being family owned knowing there locals from here I’d highly recommend to anyone.”

“I recently ordered the strawberry croissant and the fruit danish pastries. Both were delicious and received rave reviews from my coworkers. I needed a pick up time before work and she was great at accommodating me. I will definitely order again!”

“The woman at the window was so kind and patient, she had a great drink recommendation after the drink I was looking for was no longer on the menu. I tend to have issues at other coffee shops nearby with bad customer service but not here, everytime I come to scooters the baristas are so kind and helpful, and they’re always smiling and laughing with each other, makes me feel like they enjoy their jobs and have a great relationship with their coworkers.”

“Awesome little bar. Heather the bartender was very attentive and very friendly. Got served quickly. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.
I have food at a five, but they dont serve food. Im sure if they did it would be a five star review.”

“I was on my way home, and craving a meatball sandwich. I drive right by this restaurant and thought “surely, they will have a meatball sandwich.” They did, and it comes with onion rings or waffle fries. I chose fries. When I opened the box, it looked so delicious, the right amount of cheese and the waffle fries were seasoned. The meatballs were absolutely delicious and the bread was soft. I’m not usually a fries person, but the seasoning was great, no ketchup needed. I will definitely be back to try more things off the menu. If the meatball sandwich was this good, I think I’m in for a great meal!”

“I reached out to them about serving food for a company event and they were AMAZING. Very kind people and they did a great job, and their food is delicious! Another food truck bailed on us last minute and Roadside Tacos helped pick up their slack and ended up serving more people than anticipated. No one left hungry. I will definitely keep them in mind for future events!”

“We don't eat often at Pizza Ranch because the price is a little too high for us. Once in a while, we splurge Because we like everything else about it. Their chicken is the best and I love the salad bar.”

“I recently hosted my grandfather’s 70th birthday party at Spectators, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Planning a party from five hours away seemed daunting at first, but once I connected with Amanda, the manager, everything fell into place. She made the entire process so easy and went above and beyond once we arrived—helping with every detail along the way. The staff at Spectators were incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food, great drinks, and wonderful service. Thank you, Spectators, Amanda, and the entire team for making my grandfather’s 70th birthday truly unforgettable.”

“I thought I would try it out at least 5 times before reviewing. Always great, fresh, the people are amazing...especially James. I dont know him outside of BDubs but he is awesome and patient.”

“I think this is one of the best Starbucks stores that I’ve ever visited on this side of the country in while.

Let me preface by commending the outstanding customer service and the friendliness of the baristas. Awesome job!

Very helpful and courteous!

Thank you!”
