Back Roads Lounge Bar • $
8460 Birchwood Ct, Johnston

“Nice Place, needs some work but this obviously takes time. These folks have what could be a Nice Bar, but also could be a Weekend Club as well. If they put in a sound system / DJ booth and dance floor area, " nothing fancy is needed," and there is room so why not take this place to it's full potential?? Wouldn't take a lot of money either, but you have a potential gold mine sitting there.....Wheelchair accessibility: This is a bar with a couple pool tables and dart boards. But could be so much more.“

“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.“

“So I haven't been to Tito's, but I threw them 5 stars for Atmosphere because the food and service were so good on my delivery order...I grabbed a Gyro, + extra meat... that was a mistake! The Gyro apparently comes stuffed from the start, because this thing was a monster! I also ordered sweet potato fries, and these aren't the normal skinny fries you find everywhere! Tito's has raised the bar on sweet potato fries, huge, crispy, amazing flavor!I don't have a photo... it was too delicious to slow down and take a photo.“

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!“

“Had a blast here & ran into someone my friend knew his name is "priest" the vibe was incredible & the music was great.We all had an incredible time! I streamed on Instagram to my followers to spread awareness of this place because it was really fun.My husband realized my cash app card fell out of his pocket and we hurried back to the club around 2:11 am. I received a notification that I was charged $100 from the club at 2:07 am and we didn't order anything that much and every drink we ordered I signed and tipped on a paper receipt.He came in the club highly upset because of the time of the charge he felt it was the establishment. I encouraged him to lower his voice because we are unsure who made the charge. In the end the owner or manager gave us the refund of $100 because they knew it wasn't us.Whoever found my card and used it is incredibly stupid. A $100 charge on a cash app card is very noticeable and this app sends you notifications of the time the charge happens. I'm not sure what happened but I'm glad the owner is honest and fair.I streamed the whole night that I was there reaching 1 million views. So I'm happy that he gave us my money back!“

I am so tired of younger service people who are more interested in chatting with other staff and their phone than actually doing their job. The homemade poppers are the best I have ever had. I was less thrilled with the wings, which were over cooked.“

“Looking for a night out without going downtown or west Glenn? This is the place. Karaoke on Tuesday, trivia on Wednesday. Lots of regulars including myself. We don’t bite and love a good time. Unlike other places, you won’t get weird looks for being new here. 4 Pool tables, 2 dart boards, 3 slot machines with Ridgemont tickets (each worth a dollar at the bar). It’s a good sized place so you can find your own area or chat with a new friend. I’m an honest guy, worst thing about this place is the urbandale and Windsor heights cops linger because they smell a good time. Just get a ride if you have too much fun.“

“The team at Cabaret is friendly, and the food selection is a welcomed plus in comparison to other bar restaurants in Ankeny. They have a great selection of sandwiches, including original and unique tenderloin options I highly recommend! If pizza is your thing, there's a good line of ingredient full and tasty options. Beyond the normal options found everywhere, you'll have more clever and appetizing options at Cabaret. The appetizers are good and sized as expected. Make sure to pair your evening with a cocktail off the menu, this is top notch. The vibe is good, better with a nice evening on the patio. The staff and people make this a place worth visiting if you're out. Very reasonable pricing and a fair amount of seating even in the peak hours.Vegetarian options: Cabaret has a meatless hamburger option that isn't the cheap black bean or compressed soy version. It's always prepared well and served best on a pretzel bun with some Cab fries!“
