“The food is always healthy and absolutely delicious! It's safe to say that the paella is honestly the best kept secret in the Des Moines metro area! The best I've ever had without traveling abroad! If you haven't been to Flavory yet, you must plan your next outing ASAP!! Service is always friendly and atmosphere brings a welcomed diversity to the current restaurants in The District.“

“We ate lunch today Feb 3, 2024. I am so glad I chose to eat there. We ordered the fajitas de la casa. It was very yummy.We also ordered the kids quesadilla plate and extra side of beans. It was all very tasty.Our friend ordered a pork dish and said it was great! The salsa was spicy which was great. We will be back soon.“
“The wait staff is great. They are very knowledgeable about the dishes and make good recommendations.Kid-friendliness: Our daughter has been going there since it opened and she gets a plain burger and fries. She is very picky but likes going here.“
“It was a beautiful Tuesday evening and we wanted to go for a short drive. After looking at a few options, we saw the pictures of Johnny and Mike's Pizza and thought we would stop by if it looked like a good place to hang out once we got there. Not to worry, the pizza place is inside of a nice sports bar right across from the Carlisle sports complex. They had one topping pizzas on sale for $10 which is a screaming good deal and also a good excuse to have a beer or two and a great evening. The pizza was a great example of Des Moines classic style, thin crust, very crispy, great sauce, and plenty of toppings. We bought an extra to take home for others. In addition to the single topping pizzas, we tried a specialty "Timmy's" with grinder, sausage, capicola and roasted peppers. The onion rings were thin, hot and crispy. The parm dressing was spot on. We'll be back.“
“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!“
“AMAZING!!!! Super tender and moist cuts of meat, well-seasoned everything, and amazing simple guacamole, cheese dip, and salsa. Service was quick and concise, answering any questions and the food came out fast. You definitely should check out if you visit The District.“
“This restaurant is located on the 1st level of the Kruse building downtown. It is very stark and modern. The staff are Uber nice and extremely helpful. The serving size is plentiful. The menu is small and has just a few different options. The place has concrete floors and with tables and chairs.You order at the counter and they bring you your food. As I said the staff is extremely attentive.“
“Absolutely DELICIOUS!! We normally are not in DSM during work week, however with spring break today we went to walk skywalks and decided to check it out. My fiancé had a piece of pizza and I had a bite of the crust…and ended up eating his leftovers as the crust was PERFECT! I couldn’t stop thinking about the Alfredo Mac and cheese, so we grabbed that to go. It was A-MAZ-ING!!! So good and the owner was super nice!“
“It had been a couple years since I last had Teriyaki Boys (back then, they were where Fernando's is now in the Local Bites food court), and it was kind of sad to see what used to be a super busy food court with lots of options only have a few open options (that and the dimly lit room made it seem kind of forlorn), but I'm glad to say that Teriyaki Boys had the same great taste and the same competitive pricing.The amount of food you get for the price in addition to the taste itself is fantastic. We've been trying to find a good teriyaki place that's somewhat comparable to Washington state, and it's safe to say that this definitely helps the teriyaki cravings!Got the shrimp, beef, and chicken (didn't take a picture of that, but did take a picture of the beef and chicken) with steamed rice. The rice was really good, veggies gave a nice crunch, and the meat was juicy, tender, and just fantastic.“
“Staff was great and friendly!! Service was excellent. Will return again. Very clean restaurant and bathroom's. Food was fantastic!!! Thank you to manger and staff!!!Parking: I'm handicapped and found plenty parking !!!! Thank you.“
“I forgot to ask the young gentleman's name but I think he is a managerHe and the owners should be very proud of how well he treats customers and much more that he does to make sure everything is like the customer wants or needs it to be; plus he thinks about what else I would like and respectfully asks. I rarely see anyone anywhere that takes customer service to a level that he does. I used to own and operate two businesses and customer service was taken beyond what anyone could imagine but this was decades ago and I counted on Word of Mouth Advertising. When I see anyone that is this amazing or even close to this I let them know and I have let managers, supervisors and owners know even if it involves a phone call or email that I think someone is exceptional at what they do and at times I will say they have an old soul which doesn't always have anything to do with their age and my favorite part is what I call allowing their genuine selves shine through including a sense of humor.I understand that some people have to be professionals but if they are too professional , I say they have too much starch in their collar. I was a little disappointed related to how little is on a sandwich and that what is there doesn't spread to the ends of the buns but I do appreciate the quality and this was when he wasn't there.I asked him about something I needed to be a little different so the bread wouldn't be too crunchy/chewy and he did this to help me and understood that I am not able to chew as well as I used to be able to do and I understand why many people would like the bread to be like what makes it more difficult for me to chew.It is a nice atmosphere there.I ate quickly the last time due to I saw the open and closed hours for the first time and I clean up any mess but when I was struggling to walk with all the shopping bags hanging on my walker to exit the same way I entered the door was locked and I couldn't get anyone's attention so I had to go back across the restaurant, exit and squeeze everything through the vintage revolving door and I got stuck in there for a while.They were busy doing all required to close and there was some other customers that came in about 30 minutes before they close.Not Complaining, Just Explaining.Vegetarian options: I didn't have time to notice.Dietary restrictions: I feel sure they will do the best they can to help with this.I asked for what he had recommended previously and they did have the small disposable container of Balsamic Vinegar dressing to dip the sandwich in. It really adds to it.“

“The only reason I give 4 stars for service is because I think it's silly having workers walking up to vehicles to take orders. I could see if it were every other vehicle, but they don't even use the regular menu at that point, and there ends up being a gap between vehicles.I'm sure this is a corporate move, but it seems like it could use improvement.Otherwise, the food is always great, and I'm typically greeted with a "it's our pleasure" whether authentic or not.“
“Everything wasn't too bad but just off in their own way. Such as food wasn't too bad, could be better. Service was good for the most part, waitress came around too often..?Parking: Handicap parking is right in front of the restaurant.“
“I went there twice when I was in town. The first time I had miso soup and vegetarian sushi for lunch and that was 5/5. I went again after 2 days for dinner and the vegetarian sushi wasn't as good as the first time, still not bad at all!“
“Sip Club member -love the sip club.... 4 stars, only option at this location for sugar free is Deit Pepsi. There used to be other diet offerings. They have 2 dispensers in the fountain for Mtn Dew, 2 for Dr Pepper etc. A huge fountain machine but each option is simply doubled. Maybe Diet Mtn Dew, Diet Dr Pepper for variety would be appreciated.“
“Just went out and bowled 6 games with my wife. Nice and quiet. Call ahead to assure a lane is available. They also have a website too. We spent 50.00 with shoe rental.Not to bad. Water is very overpriced. We split one and my wife picked it up.“
