“Stopped in for a bite to eat with some co-workers. The atmosphere was very welcoming, an at home sit down kind of place to watch sports TV. The theme through out the bar was baseball for the most part. I got a bacon burger with loaded fries, it was very delicious. If I'm back in the area I will definitely go again! The staff were very respectful and helpful for sure.“
“Great place for quality moderately priced food. Had the Royal Chicken sandwich, excellent! A patron next to me had the Chicken Tacos so I know what I'm getting next time.Update: went back months later and had the Chicken Tacos, they were the real deal.3/19/2024: went back and had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich special with Mac and Cheese (pictured). It was delicious.“
“BRE was phenomenal. We are from Omaha & don't know Des Moines. She handles a big crowd and makes everybody feel comfortable and handled. This is a cute bar with great music. Highly suggest to come here. The amazing bartender and service was just a plus!!! Would come again.“
“Great food and fast service. Had the breaded tenderloin sandwich and the wife had the spicy shrimp wrap. Both very very good. Only reason didn't give five stars on atmosphere was that it was too loud to eat inside. But hey, it's a bar and grill. Will definitely go back. The food was great and highly recommend.“
“It definitely has changed from when I have been there years ago, but it's definitely for the better. Whe. You walk in its nice and open on the right to have conversations you can hear and pool tables on the right. It now has a jukebox (it's what I still call it) and no longer a stage. You can tell that business is not as busy since the changes, hopefully it picks back up for whoever the brave bar owner is. The bar staff ,she was happy,honest and just plain people's, with drinks with perfect mixtures, that make you feel relaxed and at home.“
“I was treated to lunch for my birthday today with my brother and longtime family friend. I enjoyed the Cuban Sandwich with fries very much and it was quite delicious. Our waitress was respectful and helpful with accommodations for one of our orders and checked in on us to make sure our dining experience was enjoyable. We were allowed to sit wherever we wanted and it was quite spacious and clean.“
“This is a real gem! Owner actually goes out of her way to greet a stranger. Cold beer in frosted mug and Graziano sausage sandwich - just can't get better than that. Thanks Scooter! Bring your Beemer, bring your El Camino, bring your Chopper, bring your Harley, bring your Caddy, bring yo' dirt bike (me), but come have a good time!!“
“Best music,wanted a bar that made u feel in ur 20's again. and wanna just dance lol,yet without too many people and it's small,but very nice abdyet has everything a big bar would have for entertainment:great music,pool tables,pinball machines,darts,etc!( Plus I have to mention the nice staff,as well as super friendly people who end up conversing with!)“
“Nice, local crowd with pool tables, dart boards, and my favorite, the punching bag machine. Local bands and djs and even a weekly karaoke night helps to spice up the music selection. Free pool day and drink specials help to keep the cost of your partying low.“
“Some of these people rating this bar must have mental issues. There nothing wrong with the establishment or the bartenders. They have a friendly atmosphere phenomenal service. If you have a problem here it's a problem with you, not them.“
“Went here for a bachelor party and what a great time it was. Bartenders were great. The atmosphere was great. We had so much fun that we got to call after we left to make sure that the tip was right since it was a bit high lol. If you want to have a good time, check this place out.“
“I'm not sure why this place is flagged as closed. Could be a possible name change or new ownership? Anyway, it was a great experience and glad it's open! They had your typical full bar, bottles of crisp domestics, and a handful of beers on tap. Including a rotating seasonal beer and this time of year it was Shiner Cheer! It is cash only, but no worries there, as they do offer an ATM in the back. We had such a great time making conversation with some of the friendly regulars and having a couple rounds we decided it was probably a good idea to get some food in our stomachs. They had build your own pizzas with about every topping you would expect and also 4 specialty pizzas. We chose the Cheeseburger and it did not disappoint. It came out PERFECT with one pickle slice per square. I'll admit I didn't expect much from a dive bar, and was thoroughly impressed. Definitely will return!“
“Wellmans on Ingersoll reminds me of the TV show Cheers.."Where Everybody Knows Your Name"?. Ive seen people come in, grab their menus and seat themselves. The staff there to me arent coworkers, they're truly family! Sometimes I believe they having more fun than the dam customers!?“
“We came to town for a soccer tournament and looked up the best wings in town and found Rico’s. The reviews did not disappoint. We had 2 orders of 4 flavors. Spicy bbq, Cajun dry rub, traditional and Korean. Every flavor tasted great. The fries were awesome too. The only disappointment was that we didn’t have room to try the catfish. Next time for sure. When you’re there, be patient and enjoy yourself. It’s a small staff so don’t be in such a hurry. But do go. The food is outstanding.“
“Was meeting a couple friends from work & decided this place looked fun & had decent reviews. Nice looking place with a lot of seating. I thought the prices seemed very fair for the amount of food you get, and the food was good. Waiter wasn't unfriendly, but not super friendly on the same note. Just had that mood like he didn't want to be there, but got the job done.The arcade was nice, but more for kids than adults, in my opinion. It was fun to play some retro arcade games & pinball though. The play cards were nice, instead of putting cash in the game every time. Seems you build points on the card, instead of receiving tickets. It is handy, but kind of confusing at times when you check balances on the card. Yep, I'm old & not up on todays tech, and I'm okay with that. Still a nice place and would visit again for the food.Parking: Doubt it was the businesses fault, but parking lot was a pain, due to all the snow. It was hard to get around the aisles due to snow banks at the south end of the aisles. Mall service who cleans the lot, could've pushed the snow further back. Wound up parking a ways away instead of messing around with that tight spaced area. Good news is, when the snow melts, won't be an issue.“
“Waitstaff as usual bends over backwards! Reece from Waterloo, has become an extremely popular requested waitress for her uncanning personality and abilities. TY cooks and prep's in the back house for absolutely perfect plate presentations and timely turnaround! We tipped 50%“
“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!“
