“I hosted my husband's 50th birthday party at the Station, and their back room was having the Nightmare on Ingersol, so they had some tables reserved for us. We ended up with more than the tables would hold, and they did an amazing job of getting to people quickly, and made the night great, from the 8 year old, to the birthday boy with some people getting food, and getting drinks to everyone. Many thanks to you!“

“What a place! So much stuff to see on the walls, but it’s not gimmicky feeling. The music is very 90’s punk on a Monday night which is fantastic, and goes either way the homemade feel of having boasted chicken that is juicy and crispy. There must be 200 beer options including 2 great hop water N/A options. They’re good enough you don’t need a bunch of other N/A choices I’d say! Friendly service. Right location!“

“This is undoubtedly the best dining establishment in des moines period. The staff are rop notch professionals and the food is a level above anything else outside 801 Grand. They make all of our special occasions amazing and the oyster selection is better than waterfront even. 6 or 7 different varieties isn't uncommon and all have tasting notes. Tuesday all nite happy hour is to die for. Try a vodka Martini extra dirty w/ Blu cheese olives. A dozen oysters for 24$ and the chefs choice charcuterie. Then a 5$ poutine with the same wine braised beef in the 30$ menu option! But with chunks of iowa farm cheese curds. This place is a solid 6 stars out of 5!! The manager is a sweetheart ❤️ tell her Christopher sent you!Edit: original lazy reviewThe best....come back soon!!!!Vegetarian options: They have vegetables? Try the Brussel sprouts! Lol...better yet don't be a vegetarian lol your missing out on so much joy!Parking: Street parking at meters, no biggie“

“The east side of the river really isn’t dirty anymore. It’s been gentrified with your typical cookie cutter businesses and people. I enjoyed my Saturday afternoon visit. The prices are typical with the area. The bartender was on point and it wasn’t to sticky. For me the ambience wasn’t what I expected. Numerous bachelorette parties and those people that ride that drinking wagon thing came and went. A privileged frat boy sorority girl feel but maybe it was just the day. Without the patio I don’t think I’d bother with the place and I wonder what happens in the winter 3/4s of their seating disappears. I’ll swing in again to enjoy a nice patio evening but maybe on a weekday instead.“

“The pizza was pretty good. We had deep dish sausage. I loved the crust! The sauce was a bit in the acidic side for me.The service was really good!The atmosphere was fine, but it the front has a weird office when you walk in. The parking isn’t very clear - hobby lobby lot vs street parking off to the side. They could improve by getting more comfortable chairs, repainting (especially in the event room) and hiding TV cords. It was very nice that they let us use that back room for a small group & we overall had a nice experience.Parking: The parking is awkward and not clear. Some parked in the hobby lobby lot and others parked parallel along the side street, which doesn’t have spaces or signage. We weren’t sure if this was allowed.“

Our daughter is home from college, and she told us that’s the best burger she’s had in a long time. She had the bacon cheeseburger. Hubby had the double cheeseburger, it looked great too. He must’ve enjoyed it, he ate the whole thing! Glad we found this place, we will be back.“
