Restaurants in Waukee

“They catered lunch for a sales meeting I hosted in West Des Moines. We selected Brisket, Pulled Pork, Mac n Cheese and Kue salad. Food was excellent! It was hot and delicious. On site set was great and helpful to walk into a lunch ready to go. I'm looking forward to eating in sometime, but I HIGHLY recommend them for catering needs.”

“Great Smoothies and friendly service!!!”

“such a fun atmosphere to enjoy great bands and dance the night away!!!!”

“Had a great experience Saturday afternoon! The Reuben was GREAT. It was up there with our favorite which we have to drive to Omaha for! Drink prices were super fair and the Guinness’s were poured right. We will be back :)”

“We love this restaurant! We live closer to the Clive location so we order from there all of the time, both dine in and take out. I recently also had them cater a Saturday lunch at work for us and they knocked it out of the park! Eddie is a phenomenal asset to this restaurant. Always friendly and helpful. Great rewards program as well. Highly recommended!”

“One of our local favorites! Discovered Fresh this summer and it’s a regular in our rotation now. Food is reliably delicious, reasonably priced with generous portion, and service is always friendly and quick. The patio is nice in good weather, and actually pretty quiet for being right along Hickman. I also ordered a family meal with a side of falafel for a group dinner I hosted last night - says feeds 4-5, but our group of 6 had plenty to eat plus we have leftovers that will last my husband and I several days. A great deal and mix of food to meet multiple dietary preferences. Highly recommend checking them out!”

“I’m gluten and dairy sensitive. Staff and the chef have always been so understanding and accommodating! The food is outstanding and so are the staff!!”

“First time ever going to Tropical Smoothie and wow, what an experience as soon as I walked in.

The staff were super friendly and helped me choose a delicious treat. I believe her name was Mady (I could be mistaken), but she was over the top nice and excited to help me choose my next meal. I ended up going with what she recommended, which was Bahama Mama, and I was not disappointed! Will def be my go to smoothie now every time and I plan on being a regular!

Thank you to Mady and the staff! You have a new loyal customer for life!”

“Blue Agave, the Mexican restaurant, truly deserves a five-star rating. From the exquisite food to the captivating decor, including stunning mural art, every detail contributes to an amazing atmosphere. The lively music invites you to dance, while their flavorful margaritas are anything but watered down—unlike many other places. The food and service were exceptional, and I was particularly impressed by the presentation of the churro and ice cream that my friend requested, even though it wasn’t on the menu. It was remarkable. You really need to experience it for yourself. Everything about the place was beautiful, from the clean bathrooms to the incredible theme that permeates every corner, even down to the to-go cups. Blue Agave is not only awesome but also incredibly fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire experience and highly recommend that you visit. Five stars—I've yet to see a cooler restaurant in the area than Blue Agave! Nichole Aubert”

“The menu is small but the food was great. I had the meatball sandwich. I didn't expect much but the sandwich was incredible. Soft but crispy toasted bread, tangy marinara, and the graziano meatballs were great. Very good small stop!”

“We got our food to go. It was ready way quicker than we expected. Staff was very friendly and engaging also.”

“Visited this Caribou on Sunday May 1st. We like the coffee here. Ordered a large Northern Latte with almond milk and sugar free caramel. Waited for 20 minutes to be handed an iced Latte and a little longer to be handed a medium instead of a large and couldn't wait any longer so we drove away with a wrong size coffee.”

“Oak barrel latte my dudes! Great coffee, great people, great vibes.”

“Great night with Aaron And Elizabeth Deweerd! Food was great as always.”

“Swung by last minute on a Friday morning to grab some cinnamon rolls. They happened to have some on hand. They were amazing!!!!!! I’m pregnant and eating 2 was no problem for me ☺️ definitely will be back to buy more. I’ll look into ordering online though just for easement on the shops part.”

“Food is excellent. The servings are amazing. The staff is friendly and attentive. Bill is an excellent cook.”

“I'm becoming a new fan of Burger King because of this location. Very clean facility, kid friendly with a clean play area and lots of crayons laid out at the front counter. Staff was friendly and food quality is better than I've gotten at similar fast food places. Archoro was very friendly and even brought the food out to us in the play area! My 3 kids love coming here!”

“Came in for a couple drinks great place with an awesome atmosphere. The bartender Tess was awesome! Greeted us walking in and never left us waiting for another round. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Manager Ryan is a mensch! ?? We actually had a great experience despite/because of a problem. There was an issue with our delivery not getting to us on time, we called to check on it, and the manager, Ryan, went above and beyond, totally out of his way, to apologize and make it right (even though the situation was pretty much out of his control). We really appreciated the way it was handled and how Ryan clearly cared about doing things well. Will definitely order here again!”

“Okay as far as greasy IHOP food goes, this place was pretty good. I was amazed to see how modernized it was and on top of that, how clean it was. Food was good for what it is. Service was pretty on point, restrooms were clean ? and we found lots of free parking.

“Came in at 8:30ish for buffet and was greeted buy a guy named Ryan. I was fully expected older pizza but I just wanted some dessert pizza. He asked us if there was anything we for sure wanted, making sure we got everything we needed fresh. He did a phenomenal job at making sure we were taken care of and has by far some of the best customer service I've experienced at any pizza ranch location!”

“Jose is a great owner and will go above and beyond for his customers, he did for me with an issue that he immediately fixed, plus the food and drinks are amazing, I always stop here for a drink on the patio after a movie, will go back any time I am in the area especially for one of their award winning mules 🔥💯”

“I would highly recommend Caffereys! It does not only have great service, but it is a neighborhood bar that you can meet so many wonderful people! The staff is wonderful especially Marcy, Taylor and Kristin! This is like a second home for me. Regards, Shane”

“My mom and I ordered the bruschetta and the Italian grinder sandwich with fries. This was by far one of our favorite meals we have ever had!! The bruschetta was absolutely perfect and warm with just the right amount of balsamic glaze over the top. And the Italian grinder sandwich is by far the best grinder I have ever tried!! We will definitely be ordering this again soon! Thank you!”
