“I have always left any of the Jethro's Restaurant..full, smiling and ready for a nap !! ?I love all pork products and Jethro's Stuffed Pork Chop is no exception. Tender, juicy Boneless Chop stuffed with a perfectly balance mix of Bread, Mushrooms, Butter, Onions and Sage. I also ordered a side of Mashed Potatoes and Gravy and a side of Pit Ham.Jalapeno Corn, a sweet Corn Meal Muffin and I was set.Half of it went home in a Styrofoam "Just as good later" box !! ❤❤“
“First time visiting a Hyvee Express and noticed they somewhat took over gas stations in urbandale area & at first was a little against the idea but WOW I love this station.Actually as normal as possible food to buy and fresh fruit too! It's a mini hyvee restaurant so I m impressed with what they have done“
“One of the coziest Saturday mornings I've had in a while with the atmosphere here, and a select few of the staff can be pretty outgoing with their friendliness. Their house special "Cozy Mess" can be a real hit if tasty hodgepodges of breakfast ingredients strike you fancy!“
“Came in for a quick bite to eat but slow service prevented the quick part. However, the food was pretty good. I had the French dip and there was plenty of beef. The fries were plain if you don't like seasoned. All other sides is extra $. Someone at the table ordered the plain cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. They said it was ok, nothing special. We both received plenty of fries which was nice. The place was loud but we were still able to hear each other at the table with no difficulty. There are several TVs if you are interested in seeing a game, it looked like every seat had a good view.“
“We walked in it was a small restaurant but I still had my hopes up I ordered chicken fingers, fries, and there cactus ranch the food came after 15 minutes ish but also we had a lot of people order as well my dish arrived as ordered besides the cactus ranch being replaced with regular ranch but the employees happily gave us the cactus ranch for free I went to the men’s restroom and there was a hole in the wall but I just went to wash my hands I walked out and when I took a bite of the fries they could possibly the best fries I have ever had crispy and great the chicken fingers were okay but the cactus ranch was amazing 5/5 stars“
“Went for Sunday lunch. Busy but fast and efficient service. Uncle Denny smash burger was yummy ! Thin smashed Pattie with crispy edges. Soft seedy bun, melty cheese and sweet sauce. Craveable! Good fries. Chili Mac light and flavorful. Definitely on our list of favorites!“
“Stopped here while traveling for work and it did not disappoint! There was street parking available up front and though we did not have reservations we were seated fairly quickly at the bar. We almost ordered one of everything to share. Each dish had unique flavors that tied perfectly together. The staff knew their food well and gave excellent recommendations. If you are going to get dinner in downtown Des Moines, you have to come here.“
“We had a group of 14+ with a mix of kids and adults. Our server was awesome, chill, and completely on her game with our large group! I wish I could recall her name but she was awesome. Can honestly say I haven't had better service for such a large group. Can't forget about the manager who was super responsive to our large group! Great night at the Iowa tap room!For the business we were the large group with a bunch of softball girls and I was wearing a red sweatshirt. We were there on 4-20-24 at 6:30pm“
“The food was excellent. One of the best steak deburgo I’ve had. The restaurant is small, so it gets really noisy. There was also no clear communication in where to go to get on the waitlist, you can’t wait at the bar so you have to go to a small waiting room down further in the strip mall. But again no one told us where to go to wait and there was no signage.“
“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!“
“Absolutely delicious! I had the Pineapple Chicken meal, which came with steamed rice, crab Rangoon, macaroni salad & a drink. Hubby had the Chicken Katsu, which came with steamed rice and macaroni salad. His chicken was so crispy and delicious. We also split an order of Spam Musubi. Everything was amazing and both were large portions, we both ended up taking part of our meals home. 10/10 recommend. Great prices and friendly staff!“
“‼️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️ 6/5 STARS⭐️Atmosphere = beautiful calming color scheme w/ details that catch your eye!⭐️Service = from the host to bartender & all 4 servers who waited on us. . . Over the top! Kara, our main server was warm, friendly yet professional! Love they all work as a team!⭐️Tableware = flatware removed that was not needed, unique serving pieces & fine glassware.⭐️Food Choices = nice variety w/o being "look at us doing something crazy different!" Bone marrow app was unique & delicious-accommodating to gf need for the bread.⭐️Presentation = excellent colors & perfectly plated-good eye to a clean outer plate rim in my book!⭐️Taste = everything from the mulberry sour cocktail to the flourless chocolate cake and everything in between was a hit out of the park. I'm partial to lemon & parmesan so I would have added that to the veggies that came with the chicken but was not a necessity.Cannot wait to return-thank you for bringing stellar customer service back in style with superb food as well!“
“The whole experience from top to bottom is an absolute “SMASH”. The bar staff, and specifically Alyssa, are top shelf. She was fun, had a good knowledge of all the beers on tap, and was never too far when you needed a refill. I’d give em 10 stars if I could!“
“My daughter and I were having a fun night and stopped by RoCa to grab a bite before Les Mis. The drink, called aptly I dreamed a dream, was the best cocktail we’d ever had! Plus the Asian lettuce wraps and Fig and goat cheese flatbread were both scrumptious. Special thanks to the bartender who was so kind.“
“I have eaten here too many times to count--at least 80-100 times over the past 15 years! Best cheeseburger and fries (ask them to make the fries extra crispy!!)! Their bacon wrapped tator tots and their humongous tenderloins are something you shouldn't miss either. For that matter, everything is good! Beer is cold! And the place is clean! Don't just drive by! Stop in and have a bite to eat!“
“We stopped in here for brunch and got the brunch buffet. Lots of options! Breakfast items, make to order omelets, salad bar with big salmon fillets, comfort foods. Something for everyone. It was hard to not over eat! The coffee is amazing! We asked if we could purchase some and they sold us a pound. Our waitress was fantastic. The restaurant seemed busy but Carolyn was attentive to small details regardless. Will definitely be returning here. Thank you for providing great food and outstanding service. Now to go shop the gift shop!“
“Cozy little place in West Des Moines. Was down from the Twin Cities for some other business and needed a quick lunch. The junction chicken was delicious and the sweet potato fries were some of the best I've ever had. It's a small place and seating is somewhat close together. Service was a bit slow but very friendly and welcoming. I would stop again if I'm in the area.“
“Everything was phenomenal from beginning to end! The waitstaff was attentive but not overbearing, and our waiter in particular was so friendly and recommended the crab stuffed walleye, which was to die for! The environment was classy and intimate, yet casual enough that it felt comfortable and warm. The best part of the meal was the appetizer- the seared ahi tuna is too good for words, just trust me on this and order it! This was a great place to visit for my birthday dinner, and we definitely plan on being back.“
“The food! The food! We have been here multiple times and tried several dishes. They have all been delicious beyond words and filling! I don’t drink beer so I wish they had more cocktails, which are premixed. But the food makes up for it!“
“Great place for food. I highly recommend if you have not tried this place yet. The environment is warm and energetic. Did a walk in and managed to get a spot with my friend. The food was definitely worth the wait and the staff are all friendly and professional.“
“Came here on Saint Patrick's Day for the green beer. We also tried the Green Caramel Apple cider. It was very sweet and delicious. It was fairly busy but no wait. The food options were amazing. Not limited to typical bar food. We had a Reuben, Kimchi flat bread, and brussel sprouts. It was so much food, but so good we couldn't stop eating.“
“This review is for 3.5 stars. This place has been on my list of places to try for a while so my husband and I ate dinner here last night. We both thought the food was good but priced higher than it should be for what we got.I got the CFD Burger and my husband got the Mojo Pork Sandwich and while we thought they were both fine, we felt a little underwhelmed for how much they cost. My burger was $14 and the pork sandwich was $16 and neither one came with fries or a side. The side fries were $4, which I got. I checked their website before we went there and the website price for the fries was $3, not $4. I really hate when restaurants change the price of things on the menu but don't update the menu on their website.My burger was good but not amazing. Their sauce in It reminded me of a Big Mac. I feel like I have gotten just as good hamburgers from Smashburger or Zombie Burger for much less money. My husband said he was expecting more flavor with his sandwich. It tasted good but didn't wow him. I guess we just expected more because the chef is a James Beard Award nominee. We thought the flavors would be much better than food you can find elsewhere.I also feel that burgers and sandwiches should always come with a side. Neither the burger nor the sandwich was very big. There's no way either one alone would fill you up. I don't know anyone who would order a burger without getting fries or some other side. However, I will say that the fries were very good. They were light and crispy and didn't taste like they were frozen from a bag. They were just slightly warm, though, and not piping hot. They were still tasty though.All the employees we dealt with were friendly and nice. Our server, though, disappeared after we got our food. She never checked on us to ask how things were. I didn't get very much ketchup for my fries and I was looking all over the room for her to ask for more ketchup. When I finally found her, I was halfway done with my food.The place looks amazing and definitely looks like an upscale modern diner. The decor and furnishings are beautiful. Everything looks well thought out. I don't think we will be back again any time soon, though. The food didn't impress us enough to try it again for what they're charging.“
“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. :)“
“A week or so ago my family placed a large online order. My wife picked the order up and brought it home. When we got everything separated we realized some items were missing. Both my wife and I tried calling the restaurant several times due to living 20-plus minutes away but could only get a busy signal. My wife ended up going back to the restaurant. The young lady my wife spoke with was very apologetic about the entire situation and extremely kind. Despite having to go back for a couple of things, the young lady's handling of the situation and the food being great more than made up for everything. We will for sure return in the future.“
“Happy to see another local restaurant come to Ankeny! I ordered their Cubano sandwich, 1/2 order Brussel sprouts, and regular fries. I was blown away by how hot and fresh the food tasted even with delivery! I can’t wait to try them as dine in! Food was so flavorful and lots of unique choices!“
“I thought Waveland had the best pancakes in town until I came to MST. The buttermilk pancakes are thick, fluffy, with a slight lemon zest flavor and the homemade whipped cream is delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ my smoked wings were good but I’ll be back for the cakes alone“
“One of our favorite places in the DSM metro!!! Excellent food, top notch cocktails, high end atmosphere, and the staff is professional and friendly. Wish I had a 6th star! Always make a reservation, it can be hit or miss with availability.“

“Always has & always will be reliably Awesome eatn & family feeling people. Beautiful people w strength of the East side & memories of days all the way back. God bless this here family & thank You to them for being so human w ?“
“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.“
“Haven’t been in a long time my mom would take me after school when I was little we would get chili dogs it was really good food from what I can remember and there cookies tasted exactly like subways but better ❤️❤️Probably haven’t ate here more than 10 years I’m an adult now and im so happy it’s still open“
“It's a great pot stop off of I-235. Nice bar with great food, staff, and clean bathrooms. On our way to Chicago from KC area. I couldn't face a fast-food stop. This was definitely a good decision. Excellent! ?This is a small neighborhood place and parking might be an issue. I prefer small :)“
“Their new location is STUNNING! I've been a stuffed olive fan for a couple of years now. Their spinach dip and Nashville hot sliders pair so perfectly with my favorite strawberry lemon drop martini. It's my usual everytime and NEVER disappoints. I'm so glad they have this new space and will be able to accommodate more people and their outdoor patio will be a game changer. So happy for them and will continue to make this a monthly stop!!“
“Update: After a year or so since the previous review, we finally went back. This time it was easy to get a table and we enjoyed delicious food. Everything tasted fantastic and full of flavor. The only real downside is it's a bit pricey for small portions, but you're getting quality food. I've updated my score accordingly. For us, this would not be a regular visit due to the price point, but it will be for special occasions.-------Stopped by tonight for dinner around 7:15pm. 30 minute wait or immediate service at the bar. We chose the bar but sat there for at least 15 minutes without ever being greeted or waited upon. Ended up walking out. We'll try again with reservations to see how it goes. I understand being understaffed, but it was poor service too.“
“Very fun little restaurant! The food was delicious. Service was a bit slow, but the waitress was friendly, so it was worth the wait! Great loaded bloody Mary. Will return in the future.Kid-friendliness: There is an area separate seating area away from the bar that is appropriate for families wanting to avoid the bar crowd.“
“This place was delicious!They had the largest Gluten Free menu I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. They even had gluten free kids meal options.I had the Mac & cheese made with Gouda & bacon with GF penne. So good! And the service was great!Dietary restrictions: Great Gluten Free menu!“
“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“
“Kenadi was personable and cheerful, really made for an enjoyable dining experience. Val's suggestion to try the hot BBQ sauce on my pizza turn out to be an excellent choice. I hung out and had a couple extra beers because I was enjoying the company of other patrons and your adorable staff. I need to come here even more often.Parking: Close, free,“
“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.“
“I can't like this place enough. it has a hip atmosphere, the food is good and the drinks are more than reasonably priced. On top of that the staff is always super friendly. This place has become my Friday night ritual. Definitely recommend.“
“Wait staff was outstanding with little wait time on a very busy night. The pizza was cooked perfectly with good onion rings as a side.The very best part was cold pizza the next day as it took me back to my partying days in the 70s. Wonderful cold!!!“
“I was struggling to find a place for breakfast and found Sorriso and was very impressed. I'm on a protein only diet and they were very accommodating to my request. The service here is excellent and couldn't ask for more. This is where the locals eat if you want amazing service and great food I'd highly recommend you stop in.“
“Our first time and what a great experience! We arrived around 11:30 am , found a spot in the parking lot (big plus!), and got right in, but we made it just in time. It filled up fast!Our server, Adrianna, was fabulous; very friendly (awesome smile), happy to answer some of our questions, and was just overall top notch!The food was incredible especially the Armadillo Eggs with the jalapeño ranch. Supberb!Highly recommend and it's conveniently located right off I-235.“
“The flour taco is by far the best!!! We don't frequent often as we really can only do a date night. We have came on a weekend with kids and they enjoyed the food but really not very family friendslly with seating choices and it just the darkness. No kids meals. But if the main aspect is more of a bar I totally understand and respect that. Also the blonde bartender/server rocks it. And so friendly.“
“My husband and I have been coming here for 7 years and it remains one of our absolute favorite spots. Great food with large portions. Very tasty desserts (if you're not feeling a big meal, its worth swinging by for just a dessert). Good staff. Cozy atmosphere. A Des Moines must!“
“Cheese Bar is my favorite restaurant. I like it for the friendly staff, excellent service, knowledgeable chef, and of course delicious food. They clearly train their people well and are all very kind and relaxed. Their food and beverages have been consistently well prepared and tasty for over 6 years. I love it!“
“After being snubbed at Felix & Oscars for 40 minutes.We decided to go to bennigan's where we were treated like royalty we were seated right away we were waited on right away we got fed within 10 minutes of being there. Very highly recommend plus they got a lot of their old menu items back! Come check them out! Highly recommended by me!“
“Enjoyed all courses, including the chef's bites (cheese curds) and naan. Burnt carrots were delicious; the pig wing and shrimp weekly special was exceptional, as was the steak. Appreciated attentive service; we're looking forward to a return visit.“
“We were here on a Friday night with a group of 8. We had a reservation and we were seated immediately. The owner stopped by and said hello before our waiter even got there. The service was great the whole evening, our waiter knew exactly when to come back and when to let us be and just enjoy the dinner.The food was great, it was a 4 course fixed price menu. Everything was delicious and the portions were just right.The brick walls add to the already great atmosphere. The restaurant was great and we will definitely be back in the future!“
“Tried to come here twice and had no good luck. Third time is the charm! Had an incredible experience with our server Deaja. Would recommend starting with the Brussels Sprouts followed by a burger, either the Hit Corner or the Mushroom Swiss. Don’t forget to upgrade to the Truffle Fries!!“
“Went here to eat w/ my girlfriends and had a fun time. :)We devoured the bread, they were so soft and fluffy.My 8 oz sirloin steak was okay - I realize that restaurants like this never really cook it the way you want, so why ask? I asked for medium rare, came out well done. Oh well. Still enjoyed my time. We will definitely come back to get the drinks they have! :)Server was very friendly and attentive, didn’t catch his name but everyone was very nice!“
