“Second time I’ve had my hair colored by Frances Rico. She was a lovely young lady and did a wonderful job on coloring my hair the first time she did an all over highlight and this time she did a root touchup I’m so grateful for how it turned out I’m completely ready for the holidays. Good job, Frances.“
“Excellent Panera Bread eatery :)Customer service is top-notch. Great food options always served fresh! Orders are made promptly and accurately. My personal favorite menu item is the broccoli cheddar bread bowl. The bakery treats are great too.This Panera is a great place to come with your significant other or just to have a bite to eat. The environment is friendly for reading or even getting some work done.5 stars all the way!“
“My dad and I stopped in and met an old college friend of his for breakfast. The cafe definitely has a unique neighborhood vibe to it that it leans into. The breakfast dishes are very midwest traditional so make sure to bring your appetite. Everything we ordered came out fresh and hot. We had no complaints and would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great breakfast off the beaten path.“
“Such a nice place and it is bigger than I remember it being. There are so many food options and the desserts look amazing. I had the chicken Alfredo and I loved it. The general Manager Archie was one of the nicest people I have met and made sure we had everything we needed. Food came out very fast and staff was nice. Also place is very clean.“
“The food and amount of food was amazing! Brittany was absolutely amazing! She not only made this experience amazing but she truly cares about her job! Amazing food, amazing customer service! Definitely worth it! Thank you Brittany for making my first visit a great one! I will be back!“
“This place tops my list for top brunch locations! Absolutely beautiful phenomenal service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere. We easily reserved a table for 10 gals and had a great time! They had wonderful cocktails, I recommend the rosemary cocktail and the salmon and eggs.“
“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 :)“
“Amazing local diner ran by a great family. The new owners are working so hard to preserve the family vibe that Dean and Brandi served all of these years and are doing a great job. Heidi, her mom and daughters have really hit the ground running. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy! My breakfast date really enjoyed their breakfast as well. Special shout out to the customers that let me take their photos at the stools ?. I am looking forward to coming back with my husband!“
“We went for brunch for the first time, and it was fabulous! The servers are friendly and helpful in recommending dishes and accommodating to taste preferences. The food was incredible. We shared the mushroom toast, and as someone who is usually neutral for mushrooms, I went back for seconds. The breakfast sandwich was a great mix of sweet and savory. The little hash brown on the side was probably the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was a little loud, so may be difficult for older individuals to hear conversation. I even struggled a little with this. But I would highly recommend overall!“
“The employees at this Chrome Cafe, make you feel like family and they are very courteous while you are there.Kid-friendliness: There are conferable seating and flatscreens to watch shows on in the dining room and in the truckers lounge.Wheelchair accessibility: Someone may need to hold the door but otherwise no problems that I could see.“
“Paula's must be The destination for Maid Rite sandwiches. Everyone ordered them & is obviously the local favorite. Not being from the area, the entire experience was endearing, from standing under sign at the lunch counter to order & pay (cash only) then you select your table while your sandwich is made fresh & brought to you. Very interesting sandwich, similar to a Sloppy Joe with No sauce. Watching the regulars, you bus your own dishes to help keep overhead low & your delicious food affordable. A Must experience“
“A fun, uniquely decorated place that has great food and friendly service! The Cuban is pretty good, and not heavy on the bread. Thats a positive in my mind- better tasting meats and pickle spear with a tasty mustard that isn’t overwhelming. Has a patio for when the heat’s out, and nice, quaint indoor seating until then. The art is fun to look at. Humidor with cigars available too. Can you find Bigfoot?“
“Basil Prosperi… my FAVORITE restaurant for lunch. The food is fantastic. I introduced the restaurant to my teenager, and it’s become the go to restaurant after her 90-day blood draws, and dr appointments. Today our appointment ran long and I dropped her at the curb at 1:47 pm. Y’all fixed her “crack Alfredo” and made her day. The Fettuccini Alfredo and Ricotta and Spinach were divine! Thank you for the treat after the unpleasantness!“

“Came in here this morning to grab coffee and a small breakfast for my family. I ordered the large iced pistachio rose latte and it was superb. The pistachio/rose flavor makes it the perfect combo of creamy and delightful. My husband had a large iced pumpkin spice latte which was exactly that deliciously pumpkin and spice. The staff was very friendly and I believe one of the owners was there and she was very nice smiling at me snapping pictures of her beautiful business. My husband and I shared the mexi bowl which I unfortunately didn't get a picture of because my kid was into it picking out the beans and we devoured it up right away too. It had egg, salsa, cheese, black beans, bell peppers and avocado slices. The mexi bowl was the perfect balance of all the good things we love. They have quite the variety of dishes for everyone. We are gluten free so the young lady who helped us recommended it for us and it definitely hit the spot. Highly recommend for everyone to try!“
“This cute cafe hit the spot after a tough workout. I got the combo with a chicken avocado sandwich and spicy tomato soup, with a green smoothie upgrade. That smoothie was GREEN and the soup wasn’t too spicy. Also got one of their massive vegan cookies and wow. Mike went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my visit, go see them!“
“Absolutely loved this breakfast place. My grandmother was so excited they offered a senior menu. The kids menu was perfect. All the food was delicious and the staff were super friendly. We really enjoyed dining here and will absolutely be back the next time we want breakfast.The offerings are very similar to IHOP but local. Prices were very reasonable. Have no complaints at all. Thank you so much for a great dining experience.“
“I'm biased because I know a handful of the Mars crew, and am a fellow coffee nerd. They carry great coffee and know how to make it taste awesome. - Their espresso machine isn't the most awesome thing in the world, but it still makes a good shot. The pour over service can't be beat. Awesome place to hit up when I'm in downtown DSM.“
“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!“
“I have been wanting to try this place since my son moved to Des Moines. Great place! I had the homemade granola with chia seed yogurt. My son had the spinach florentine with poached eggs and hollandaise. My husband had the breakfast tacos and we were all VERY happy with our choices. Will be stopping in again on our next visit!“
“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. the atmosphere is incredibly laid back, much like that of a late '60s early 70s tea shop. the staff was incredibly friendly and their menu was diverse. if you cannot find at least one or two items to eat here, I don't think that you are really hungry. what I ate had an incredible flavor and while filling, did not make me feel like I had over eaten. bring one of these down to Springfield missouri! with the University right next to the uptown area, you would make a fortune!“
“Rise & Grind Nutrition: Stellar Service and a Delicious Treat! Just had a fantastic experience at Rise & Grind Nutrition in Ankeny, even though it was close to closing time! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, taking my order with a smile despite they were minutes away from closing. And let me tell you, the PB Twix protein drink was absolutely delicious! It tasted like a decadent treat while still packing a protein punch. Rise & Grind definitely impressed me with their courteous service and their menu. I'll definitely be back to try more of their creations! 5 out of 5 stars!“
“This is the best place to get an Acai bowl. I absolutely love this place and come here quite frequently and I’m always happy. It’s been the best Acai bowl I’ve ever had and I have lived many places and consider myself to be an Acai bowl fanatic.“
“What a pleasant little place to find below a hotel! This will remain one of the stops whenever we are downtown. Can't say anything about the food (but I figured based on what we saw that it will likely be good as well) - as we only had beer and wine at night and coffee in the morning.“
“Easy access from downtown Des Moines Marriott. We had burritos on special one day. Good flavor but overpowered by too many green peppers. Egg scramble another morning was great. My buddy loved the croissant and bread options. Will go back .“
“I’m not sure I should call Trellis a hidden gem lunch spot in Des Moines, because it’s always hopping when I’m there, and for good reason! I am always so pleased with my meals. I love how the menu changes monthly so there’s always something new and interesting to try. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality and the dishes are inventive. The patio is a wonderful place to sit on a beautiful day. Touring the botanical center and eating lunch at Trellis makes for a pretty great day!Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is small but exceptional. The grilled cheese comes on nice bread and is always perfectly toasted. Sides always include fresh fruit and crackers/chips.“
“Stopped in to this place while in town for a sporting event. Best breakfast burrito I've ever had, hands down! The staff were all super friendly and provided great service. I'm actually trying to find another reason to get back to Iowa just to get another breakfast burrito!!!!“
