20 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Grimes

“Everything so far I've tried has been amazing. Went in to try 1 of the new seasonal flavors and it was good. Got the Kettlecorn hot latte. The workers are always nice. Also I recommend getting the solar strawberry energy drink ?.Parking: It's a drive up so there's no parking but usually super fast service so.“

“I highly recommend Black Cat Ice Cream! They have a lot of unique homemade ice cream flavors that are creative and seasonably appropriate. It’s a fun experience with the ice cream options and the atmosphere in the shop and outdoor seating options. I’ve tried their scoops of ice cream, and the ice cream nuggets dipped in fudge. It doesn’t matter what I get, so far I’ve been happy with my selections each time. If you love ice cream and are looking for something fun and unique, this is the place for you!“

“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!“

“I came here expecting to only be served malts, but contrary to the name, they offer much more than just that! Various ice cream novelties, bottled water, and napkins are served for prices that adjust with inflation. They even serve puppy cones, that's just another reason why I wish I was a dog! There was no indoor seating, but I guess that's how they keep their ice cream recipe secret from the public. My go-to order is a turtle sundae without the nuts and caramel, it's a state of ice cream rapture!“

“The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great. HOWEVER, our server was EXCEPTIONAL. In most cases, wait staff will make or break an experience for fine dining. Charismatic, friendly, and helpful was what we got tonight. We don’t make it out to the Waukee area often but I’m so glad we did tonight! Thank you Lauren for a special night out.You went above and beyond to make our experience one that we absolutely couldn’t forget. :)“

“The place was very nice and Bigfork running around and playing tag and hide n seek but didn't like how expensive renting court was so just played table tennis with soccer team and tag around the whole building expect foe upstairs because of 21 over sign but ran outside and inside around back in front around pickleball and long jump looking thing“

“I wish they had a few lactose free ice cream options and not just dole whip. My son loved the ice cream and so did my pup! (Pup cups were available for $1.00 and had some sugar cone on them .. my dog didn't really like that part though!)“

“My lulu and I really enjoyed paws and pints. It was a bit overwhelming at first but he always takes a little bit to adjust and get comfortable. Make sure to download the app and vaccine records before you get there. Had a couple cold ones and a few hours in the sun“

“Place was packed. Had the atmosphere of your favorite neighborhood establishment. The waitress recommended we join a table with another gentleman, who turned out to be a regular patron, and we had a very pleasant visit w/him. Ordered the Bubba Burger and it was excellent; especially liked the flavor of the "Sully" sauce. If we are ever in the Des Moines area again, Sully's will definitely be on our must stop list.“

“Genevieve is the literal best server I’ve ever had in my entire life. She was so efficient and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and so friendly and welcoming while my husband and I were so unfamiliar with the menu. She served us good food and good drinks and we can not wait to come back !! A++++ service !!!“

“Last week was my 1st time here, but the staff treated me like an old friend. & the pizza was amaaazing. While waiting for my food, there was a little girl who was dancing & fell (she was alright). The staff were very kind to her & even gave her a big cookie to have for dessert!“

“Ice cream was pretty tasty, but I remember wishing I’d order something more “fun” I suppose. They also don’t accept cash which put me in an awkward situation. The environment is genuinely old school, people waiting outside, order at the window vibes!“

“Loved coming to 7 Brew when I’d visit Bentonville, Arkansas! It’s SO popular down there!! So HAPPY they brought them to Des Moines!! :) Such good coffee and kind staff! My dog loves their pupcups too ;)Dietary restrictions: Offer dairy free milks.Kid-friendliness: No alcoholic drinks. Non-coffee drinks. Food options.“

“OPA Italian & Greek for the win tonight! After being on vacation for Christmas and new years this is a great welcome home!!! Jon Ochoa and the staff were very welcoming! The place was packed! It was fun to get the suburban in the parking spot! The only thing I dislike here! I went out on a limb and got the Mediterranean steak over a bed of vegetables. I’m gonna try this fad diet again it’s the new year rite! The wife got our normal the chicken parmigiana Diablo! Gosh I love that dish but doing this low carb thing!! And of course gotta have the Cabernet to go with the meal!!!! Win win great service amazing food and where else can you go that feels like your at home!!!“

“We celebrated my son’s 9th birthday at the pelican post today and I wish I could leave a 20 star review! The food was amazing, the staff was very friendly, and the service was top notch! Mel and Emma were amazing and we will definitely be back! Thanks for a great meal and great experience!“

“This is such a great meeting spot right in the heart of Beaverdale. I love that they also have locally made gifts and cards. Definitely a place to check out for your caffeine fix (they have a drive thru if you are in transit) or need a meeting spot for work or social..... today I saw a small knitting group!“

“Stopped in for a drink after work and had a wonderful experience. The food was flavorful and provided a wonderful new insight to Neapolitan pizza that I hadn’t yet experienced.The open concept layout is inviting and creates an intimate experience where you can actually see your order prepared and fired in the ovens.Brady provided wonderful service and made sure that I was always taken care of and had everything I needed. Evelyn also was very kind and has an intoxicating smile that makes you feel right at home.Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will absolutely be coming back to experience more of the wonderful food and service that Franka has to offer.“

“4.0* (out of 5)Food: 4* Atmosphere: 4* Value: 4* Service: 4*06/11/2023Had coupons since hearing about someone going to a live band here and following on Facebook - and were in the area after Mass one evening, so gave it a try.The first challenge was finding the place. While our phone map took us to the entrance...it isn't super clear how to get to the restaurant and we had a couple of false starts. First at the marina office near the road and then we turned around on the winding path before getting to the restaurant thinking it was leading nowhere. Just keep driving - you will eventually get there...Once we finally found the restaurant, the view was great and probably the largest draw - hard to top relaxing at a table with food and drink while watching the lake and boaters. The facilities are what you might expect for a seasonal dock business with public access...functional, simplistic and a little crude - not what you would find in even an average place on land.With that said, we found the drink selection and the food to be above average. We each ordered burgers (see pictures) to use our coupon. We both shared samples with each other and found them both to be solid - soft, moist buns, fresh toppings, crispy fries and good flavor.If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.Photos copyright: happyhourdesmoines.com & thefoodanddrinkguy.com“

“Stopped in for a quick beer and ended up having an entire meal! The build a burger was fantastic and prepared just as I requested, I wouldn’t consider this restaurant like anything else in the mall, it is awesome! Very clean with a courteous staff and the manager (Cole) was really on top of his game. I will definitely be back!“

“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.“
